Title: Festive food for Christmas kids

http://www.scmp.com/video/

Christmas is a magical time for children, and food plays a big part. Be it mince pies or trifle, turkey or chocolates wrapped in coloured foil, there are numerous treats that will keep children of all ages excited.

For the executive chef at the Hyatt Regency in Sha Tin, Cheung Hong-man, who has two young daughters, Christmas is a special time for family indulgence.

Parents can make the festive season a bonding time by bringing the children into the kitchen and getting them to help make tasty treats, such as cookies, says chef Cheung.

When cooking for children, he says opt for small portions, multicoloured items and things in eye-catching, festive shapes.

Title: Animals go Walkabout at ZSL London Zoo!

Personalize Your Wedding - Make It Distinctively Yours

por | | 0 comments

Check out these inspired ideas for adding a personalized touch to your wedding day.

  1. Have images of you and your groom printed on save-the-dates and/or invitations.

  2. Instead of using table numbers, personalize each table by naming it after something that has meaning for you, i.e. your favorite vacation spots, favorite authors, streets you've lived on.

  3. Create your own signature drinks to be served at the cocktail hour.

  4. Before making your entrance into the reception area, have a video play of how you met.

  5. Incorporate a family dish into the reception menu or a favorite dessert into the dessert table.

  6. Have your wedding theme centered around a favorite sport or hobby.

  7. Include your pets in the wedding ceremony. A well-behaved dog could act as ring bearer.

  8. Print the story of your proposal onto paper and create scrolls (tie with ribbon or "fake" wedding bands). Place at each table setting.

  9. Have an ordained family member or friend perform the ceremony.

  10. Incorporate your heritage into the ceremony and reception through decor, music and menu selection.

  11. Select a cake topper that reflects your personality, heritage or hobbies.

  12. Have the reception meal reflect the meal of your first date.

  13. Center your wedding theme around a favorite movie, artwork, song, etc.

  14. Have friends and family perform during the ceremony.

  15. Give favors that reflect your interests. If you're a book lover, give personalized bookmarks.

  16. Personalize your wedding with a favorite quote or saying.   I attended a graduation celebration that had the theme: "Oh, the places you'll go".   The phrase was printed on everything from the programs to the favors.

  17. In lieu of wedding gifts, have guests donate to a cause that's important to you.

  18. Have your names or monogram printed on napkins, favor tags.

  19. If you or the groom have children, honor your blended family by including the children in the unity candle ceremony.

Winter Wedding Color Palette - Cranberry, Evergreen & Ivory

por | | 0 comments

The board below was inspired by this year's after-Christmas shopping excursion.   While scouring the shelves for marked-down decorations, I decided on a color scheme for next Christmas:    cranberry, evergreen and ivory.    I've never really cared for decorating in the traditional Christmas colors of red, green and white but this palette takes the traditional palette to another level.    The board below has elements that are elegant, yet rustic and even eco-friendly.

Love Letter Wedding Theme - Sweetly Romantic

por | | 0 comments

The Love Letter wedding theme is perfect for a couple whose wedding day represents the fairy tale ending to a long-distance relationship.  If you used love letters to express your heartfelt sentiments during your time apart (it could still happen in this tech-obsessed world), why not make the letters a part of your wedding celebration?   Incorporating love letters and postage into ceremony and reception decorations, wedding favors and even the wedding cake will make the most of this romantic theme.  Was your courtship more of a local affair?  The Love Letter theme can still be used to enhance the amorous mood at your wedding.

To add even more romance to your wedding ceremony, a Love Letter Ceremony will serve as a lasting reminder of the commitment you make to one another.

Choosing Your Wedding Day Fragrance

por | | 0 comments

Vera Wang Princess
You’ve selected your dress, the flowers, the music, and the menu. You’ve even mailed the announcements; right on schedule, thank you very much. But if you’re like most brides, you haven’t given much consideration to the kind of fragrance you’ll wear on your wedding day. Fragrance is one of the last things that brides think of when it comes to planning a wedding.

Your choice of a wedding day fragrance shouldn’t be dismissed as insignificant. According to designer Vera Wang, “Fragrance provokes the senses and conjures up memories in inexplicable ways. The significance of a fragrance that captures all of the emotion, dignity and joy of a wedding is immeasurable. Incredibly intimate yet nearly imperceptible, a bride's fragrance remains with her long after the ceremony is over."

That being said, what memories will your fragrance conjure up? Take time to find a special signature scent that will trigger happy memories of your wedding day for years to come. Our sense of smell is one of the strongest senses. When you smell this scent long after the ceremony, it will bring back memories clearer than your wedding photos.

Perfume or Cologne?

The list below gives the concentration of the standard fragrance types and how they should be applied.
  • Perfume -- Very concentrated; use sparingly. Best to avoid in very warm weather.

  • Eau de Parfum -- Very concentrated, but weaker than perfume; apply to pulse points only.

  • Cologne – Half the concentration of perfume; apply to pulse points or lightly spray.

  • Eau de Toilette -- Generally weaker than cologne; spray normally.

Fragrance Categories

  • Floral - This is the largest category, and it includes fragrances whose primary ingredients are derived from flowers such as jasmine, rose, violet, carnation, orange-blossom, gardenia, ylang-ylang, etc.

    Examples: Carolina Herrera, Paris, White Diamonds, Anna Sui, Vera Wang

  • Fruity - These are compositions where the inclusion of non-citrus fruits are blended to create a fragrance.

    Examples: Burberry of London for Women, Dolce and Gabbana Woman, Nahema by Guerlain, Tropical Punch by Escada

  • Oriental - Generally full-bodied compositions that create an exotic, warm impression due to the inclusion of ingredients like spices, musk, balsams and resins.

    Examples: Royal Secret, Shalimar, Contradiction, Burberry Touch for Women, Obsession by Calvin Klein, Organza Indecence

  • Chypre - pronounced "sheepra", French for "Cyprus" and first used by François Coty to describe his impression of aromas he encountered on the island of Cyprus.

    Examples: Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker, Paloma Picasso, Miss Dior

  • Citrus - These are compositions where the inclusion of citrus fruits like lime, lemon, tangerine, mandarin and bergamot (often called hesperides) are blended to create a fragrance that has effervescent or exhilarating qualities

    Examples - CK One

  • Fougère - pronounced "foozh-air", French for "fern", these are fragrances with fresh, herbaceous notes on a mossy fernlike base.

    Example:   Cool Water

  • Green - These are compositions where the predominant notes are derived from green plant parts and notes such as pine, juniper, grass, leaves, and herbs.

    Example:  Safari,  Bvlgari Extrême

NOTE:  
Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions.

Shopping Tips
  1. Experiment at least one month before your wedding to be sure you like your new fragrance and that you’re not allergic to it.

  2. Shop alone for your fragrance to avoid having the opinion of others cloud your judgment.

  3. Never shop for a fragrance while wearing one. The scents will conflict.

  4. Take your time to find the right fragrance as your scent says a lot about your personality.

  5. Always test a fragrance on your skin. Smelling a fragrance in the bottle only reveals the top notes. The base notes develop when fragrance touches your skin and takes a little while to develop fully. Spray the tester, then walk away for an hour or so.

  6. Limit the number of fragrances you smell at a time. If your sense of smell becomes confused, try sniffing coffee beans to refresh it. (Fragrance counters in upscale department stores now have coffee beans available for doing this).

  7. If coffee beans aren't available and your sense of smell becomes overwhelmed, ask for samples to test at home.

  8. Encourage bridesmaids to wear a similar fragrance to avoid clashing scents. Do this by giving fragrance as attendant gifts.

  9. If you intentionally selected aromatic wedding flowers, make sure your fragrance and flowers don’t compete.

  10. Tie your wedding day fragrance to your wedding theme. Will yours be a traditional, fairy tale affair? Light floral scents will work best.

Wedding Day Suggestions:

  1. Let the barometer guide you: you’ll need less fragrance in warm weather. Stick to body mists and scented lotions.

  2. Spray on fragrance before getting dressed to avoid possibly staining your dress.

Title: Choose Your Weapon - The Fight Glove Revolution

As Everlast reaches it's 100 year anniversary in 2010, it is imperative that we continue to serve as the premier brand in the boxing arena. In September 2009, we will launch three (3) new fight gloves (The MX, 1910, and Protex 3), marking the first time in our brands history that we will be providing fighters with a choice of fight gloves. "Choose your Weapon" is a marketing and product campaign that encourages the boxer to explore their fight glove options in order to select the right glove that compliments their individual fighting style and physical attributes.

The attached video is a look through the fighters eyes on the perception of their hands, as well as the emotional and physical requirements that go into selecting right fight gloves. The fighters view is complimented by insight on the design origin, construction, and performance characteristics of each glove by the Everlast product Team.

No other brand on the market offers the fighter a choice, and thus it is imperative as the market leader in product and innovation that Everlast remain the Choice of Champions.
