If you, or someone dear to you, are among the nearly 20% of adults in the UK that have never had a birthday party, this year is a good time to change it. While planning a birthday party for yourself may seem like a lot of work, it can also be extremely gratifying, especially when everything comes together on the day of the party. Even if you aren’t a seasoned party planner, you will be able to organise the ultimate party by simply putting your mind to it and following a few simple guidelines. 

Choose an awesome theme

If you want your party to be truly memorable, make sure to pick out a snazzy theme that will impress your guests. The theme you choose can be as casual or extravagant as you wish and will contribute largely to the overall ambiance of your celebration. For a daytime spring or summer party, choose a theme that allows you to spend time outdoors. Popular themes for outdoor parties include Alice in Wonderland, an English High Tea, and A Day at the Spa. If you prefer to have the gathering at night, you can blow your guests away with a more sizzling theme. Casino parties are always popular, and you can easily transform your venue into a scene right out of Casino Royale with roulette and poker tables, playing card cut-outs, and freshly-poured martinis. Other popular themes to consider include The Roaring ’20s, Tributes to Hollywood, and an Eighties Disco, complete with neon lights and groovy music. 

To make the theme really pop, you can incorporate a range of decorations and accessories. For example, you could use themed backdrops and props to create an immersive environment. You could also use custom lighting and inflatable decorations to set the mood and create a memorable atmosphere.

Made-to-order inflatables add a playful and interactive touch to your decor by using a blow-up art deco-style bar or giant champagne bottle for a Roaring ’20s party or by designing inflatable chairs in the shape of large inflatable disco balls. For a Hollywood-themed event, you could set up a red carpet with inflatable Oscar statues. Whatever theme you choose, the key to a successful party is in the details. By incorporating creative and eye-catching decorations and accessories, you can create a memorable experience for your guests that they’ll be talking about for years to come. So, let your imagination run wild and have fun with it!

Pick a suitable venue

Choosing the right venue for your party is of the utmost importance. Once you know roughly how many guests you will be inviting and what your party theme will be, you can decide on a suitable venue. If you are fortunate enough to live in a large house, you can save yourself the hassle of finding a venue and just have the party at home. This will, however, require you to do a lot of the prep and cleaning yourself. If the thought of slaving away to clean your house after a party does not appeal to you, you can either enlist the help of a clean-up crew or host the party at an external venue that provide a cleaning service as part of their package. Make sure that the venue you choose has all the amenities you require, and aim to have it as centrally-located as possible to ensure that as many of your guests as possible can attend.

Don’t forget about refreshments

What would a party be without food and drinks? If you are having a themed party, your menu can be structured around this theme. Decide whether you want to serve a sit-down dinner, buffet, or finger foods and also whether you will be preparing the food yourself or have a professional catering company take care of it. A cash bar generally works well at most parties, as it takes some pressure off the host to provide large amounts of drinks free of charge. If you do want to serve drinks to your guests, be sure to include a variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Remember to also have some bottled water available for anyone wanting to quench their first the natural way.

Everyone should let their hair down and party every once in a while, especially on a special occasion like a birthday. By following these guidelines and generally just having fun with the planning, you are bound to pull off a party that will be remembered by all the guests for many years to come.

Sweden travel tips

From historic museums and national parks to scenic landscapes and ice hotels, there are endless incredible things that await your exploration in Sweden. The bustling city that’s brightly colored is a unique mix of things – the kind that will see you create life-long memories you’ll treasure forever.

Whether you’re traveling alone or with family, there is something for everyone in Sweden.  But if you want to get the most out of your short stay, then working with a tour company could be just what you need. This is especially true if you’re planning a trip to Sweden for seniors and juniors too because it will save you lots of hassles.

With that in mind, here are seven things you need to know before visiting Sweden:

Be ready to butcher the name of places

It’s funny to assume you know how to pronounce the name of a place, only to kill it the first instance you speak to a local. Well, the good thing is, despite that, you’ll still be able to make your way around town and anywhere else for that matter. Sweden has a big population of English speaking people, so, communication is much easier than you’d expect when visiting a foreign country.

People love to fika

Wondering what on earth is fika? Never mind. You’ll soon be familiar with it. The Swedes live for fika, a term which loosely means “coffee pause” or “break” and if you love sharing coffee and pastries, you’ll soon be lost in the culture too.

Island-hopping is part of the fun

There are a total of 221,831 islands in Sweden – it’s hard to miss them regardless of whether you are headed to the south, east, north or west coasts. The islands are centers of the country’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. You can access the largest islands – which are perfect for hiking, lunch, and swimming – by public ferry.

The Swedes don’t skip the line

In Sweden, everyone passes the queuing test – no one pushes to the front of the crowd. Whether at the pharmacy, supermarket, post office or systembolaget, they take a number and queue to wait for their turn – please have some manners.

Recycling is a way of life

Newspapers, clear glass, colored glass, milk cartons, garden waste, food waste, plastics, metals … the Swedes are keen on recycling. In fact, an average household has at least three trash cans with different sections for garbage and wastes.

There is no party like a Midsummer party

Many Swedes celebrate Midsummer (the longest day of the year), which happens on a Friday between 19th and 25th of June. Most villages and towns organize Midsummer dances where crowds dance to folk songs around a pole that’s decorated with leaves and flowers.

You’ll do a lot of things yourself

The Swedes have an Ikea approach to life, meaning, you should not expect anyone to help you with your bags up to the room – unless you are boarding a high-end hotel. Reason being, the Swedish government offers many great benefits to the people, so no one needs to settle for small jobs with small pay.

Let’s be honest, everyone enjoys a nice alcoholic beverage from time to time. However, there are some people that enjoy it so much that one isn’t satisfying enough. One becomes two and two becomes three. If a person allows this kind of cycle to continue, eventually, drinking is going to become an addiction. In fact, alcohol addictions have been known to ruin people’s lives. But what causes people to drink?

Many people drink for three reasons; boredom, depression and stress. They use alcohol to escape themselves and whatever struggles they don’t want to face. However, even though that sounds luxurious, it can be further detrimental to your wellbeing.

If you feel like you can’t stop drinking, take a look at these seven reasons:

1. Saves You Money

Aside from affecting your health, alcohol also affects your finances. Depending on the amount and frequency in which you drink, you could easily spend hundreds just to feed your alcohol addiction. Furthermore, you don’t have to go out to drink; you can also purchase alcohol from a store and drink it at home.

Try thinking of what you could be spending that money on. You could spend that money on bills, a planned vacation, that one big item you’ve had your eyes on or even save for that dream vacation. Long story short, there are other things you could be spending your money on than just alcohol.

2. Fixes Your Relationships

Constantly indulging on alcohol can have a serious negative impact on your relationships, especially with people you hold in high regard. For example, your friends may get fed up with constantly having to worry whether or not you got home safely. Loved ones may get tired of the person you become when intoxicated because you say or do hurtful things to them. Either way, alcohol can push away friends and even destroy families.

Regardless of the circumstances, realizing that the alcohol is what’s causing the problem between you, friends and family is a step in the right direction. It can help you make the decision to stop drinking and work on fixing your broken relationships.

3. Keeps You Healthy

We mentioned before that alcohol can affect your health. And we don’t mean the occasional feelings of nausea and headaches caused by hangovers. Alcohol affects three of the most important organs in your body; the liver, heart and brain. The muscles on your heart will begin to sag and weaken from all of the strain alcohol puts on it. This can lead to blood clots, high blood pressure and possibly a stroke.

The liver is actually the organ that alcohol affects the most. This is because the liver is where all of the alcohol is metabolized. Heavy drinking can cause the liver to have a fat build-up, which can lead to conditions like cirrhosis and hepatitis.

Several areas of the brain that are affected by alcohol are responsible for memory, coordination, to a problem and learn and keeping their emotions in check. Furthermore, the liver breaks down two toxins known as ammonia and acetaldehyde, which make their way towards the brain. These two chemicals are known for increasing the risk of cancer and killing important brain cells.

Other Reasons to Take Into Consideration

Aside from the three main reasons we’ve talked about, there are other reasons as to why you should stop drinking.

These reasons include:

  • If catch yourself lying to people about your drinking problem
  • If your career is starting to suffer due to the lack of performance, being on time and failure to keep promises
  • If you have an increase in anxiety
  • If your face starts to become puffier than usual

Hopefully, this article helped you realize how damaging alcohol can be if you let it control your life. If find yourself unable to stop, seek out help immediately.

You don’t have to be a world renowned fashion designer or company to pull of a show stopping fashion event. In fact, some of the best fashion events that we have had the pleasure of attending have been ones that were a complete DIY project in itself. If you’re an upcoming fashion designer, label or clothing company, this is the article for you. Looking to absolutely wow your guests? Read on to find out more about the essentials of a successful DIY fashion event that everyone will be talking about for months to come.

Keep Everyone Engaged

Now, fashion events are generally engaging to begin with, with guests being entertained by models on the runway, the music, and all the sights and sounds that are associated with any top end fashion show. However, a key thing to focus on is keeping guests engaged even during lapses in time when everyone is waiting for the next set of models to strut down the runway. You can do this by renting a photobooth in Sydney, hiring a DJ to spin some funky tunes whilst people wait, or even by hosting some interactive games and competitions for guests to engage in, and maybe even win a prize or two in the process! They key to a successful DIY fashion event is ensuring that everyone is kept entertained throughout the entire duration, so don’t forget to fill your event with as many fun things as possible to keep everyone on their toes all night long!

Be Diverse With Your Selection of Models

When hosting any event, fashion related or not, it is of utmost importance that you ensure everyone feels comfortable, and like they fit in. This is why hiring models of all different shapes, sizes, skin tones and ethnicities is something we always recommend. Don’t be afraid to hire models who may fall out of the sphere of “normal”, as guests will truly appreciate diversity and the celebration of how we are all different but can come together as one in the name of fashion! You guests will be a lot more captivated if they can relate to the models, and imagine themselves in the clothes that they are wearing instead of feeling like they’re watching something unattainable strut down the runway.

Choose An Ideal Venue

Even the best event can be ruined by a less than ideal venue, so ensure that you select a venue that suits your needs perfectly for the night. The ideal venue should be able to accommodate your entire guest list and more, be accessible to people who both drive or take public transportation, and have enough space for you to set up a runway without encountering any issues. Don’t fear getting creative, and consider options such as community centers, parks or even theatres. These locations will be sizable enough to fit all your guests in without being too claustrophobic, and can be rather avant-garde in itself, which is always a talking point for any successful fashion event.

Make Your Guests Feel Like Stars

Fashion is glamorous, and this is exactly why you should strive to make your guests feel like stars. Heading to a fashion event is fancy in itself, but imagine how your guests will feel when they are greeted with a cocktail, some finger food and a goodie bag filled with product samples. You can even place name cards on chairs, as a personal touch that also serves as an easy way to ensure things run smoothly because everyone knows where they are going to be seated. You could even go all out and organise a meet and greet session with fashion designers at the end of the event, adding an added touch of glamour to your event and bringing it to the next level for your guests. Everyone loves a little glitz and glamour, so making your guests feel like starts is a fantastic fastway track to a successful fashion event.

Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse!

Last but not least, one of the key components to any event is the rehearsal. Rehearsing your event a few times before the actual day is a great way to get everyone involved into the swing of things, as well as a good way to make yourself aware of what may need to be tweaked. You’ll only be able to notice what works and what doesn’t during the rehearsals, so it is of utmost importance that you do not skip this step. Always ensure that you have a contingency plan as well, in case things don’t go exactly as planned on the night itself. Failure to plan is planning to fail, and failing is something we’re not allowing at our DIY fashion event!

We hope that this article has given you all the tips you need to host your very own DIY fashion event that everyone will be chatting about for weeks to come!

New parents go through one huge transition. Shedding their old lives, they step into a new reality containing different challenges and more than a few sleepless nights. But at the same time? It’s when life really begins, and the family unit starts to prosper together. Securing the right items and tools will soften the teething process, and help you smoothly transition into a sustainable rhythm. Here is our round-up of things you will need as new parents.

4 Wheel Pram

Over the next few years, your reliable 4 wheel prams will be the third parent. Not only does it get you from A to B in style, but it has a reputation for rocking the little ones asleep. Your baby will spend a lot of time in the 4 wheel pram, particularly in the first few months when you are doing the rounds introducing the little one to all those special people. It also provides an escape (for lack of a better world) for parents who spend a huge part of the day at home with the baby. Get that fresh air and a new perspective each day to give you fuel for the rest of the morning and afternoon. Building a morning walk into your schedule will be a god send, and it does it’s part to educate your little one on routine so they can start eating and sleeping more consistently.

Nursing Pillows

A nursing pillow is an incredibly useful item for new parents, and your bundle of joy. As breastfeeding and nursing is a new practice for both baby and mum, it makes the new process comfortable for both and makes latching much easier. Some mothers will tell you that the latching process takes weeks or months to perfect, so the nursing pillow won’t be too far from away at all times. Nursing pillows come in all shapes and sizes, so they’re perfect for one baby or twins and can be added to and upgraded as the little ones grow. You can even set yourself up to have one for home, one for the car, and one to keep at the grandparents place.

Breast Pump

Breast is best as they say, but it’s not always possible to feed your baby directly. Whether mother and baby are temporarily separated, or there are latching problems late at night, you want to have a supply of milk expressed and ready to go. Your breast pump should be used during down times to build up a supply of nutritious milk, that can be stored at home or taken on the road. There are different pumps available on the market, some more quality and compact than others. Every mother needs a pump but to varying levels, so make sure you pick a style that fits in with your lifestyle.

Baby Bag

It’s incredible to think someone so small can need so many accessories and items – and you are only going to the park! The right baby bag will make you feel as if you are kicking goals as a parent, with everything thought of and packed to perfection. Quality baby bags are available in totes and backpacks – allowing mama to be hands free for nursing and pushing the pram. The right baby bag will get new parents through their second and third child, so take your time in finding one that is comfortable and practical.

What you will need as a new parent is more hours in the day. But until that becomes available, find these items first to make sure the transition into parenthood is a smooth one. Whether these items are for you, or you are finding them as a gift – remember that quality products will go a long way in making those first few months a lot easier.

If you are a regular visitor to the gym, you need CrossFit shoes that allow you to enjoy working out. We have CrossFit shoes designed to be used in competitions while we have those you can use for training. The problem is that it is sometimes challenging to choose the right type of shoes. Thus, taking some precautions while buying your CrossFit shoes is important.

So, what are some of the things do you need to consider when you go shopping for crossfit shoes for women. You may come across a variety of shoes for CrossFit when shopping for one. This will get you into trouble but, seeking out reliable online resources will surely lead you to purchase the perfect ones, like those you can find on https://shoeadviser.com/athletic/best-shoes-for-crossfit.

  1. The Kind of Exercise You Will Be Doing

The exercises you will be undertaking are determined by what you want to achieve. If you are planning to engage in strenuous exercises, you need special CrossFit shoes. The pair of shoes should be able to sustain your body weight.

  1. The Shoe Drop And Contrast.

Look at the difference between the heel and the height of the shoe. Consider buying CrossFit shoes with a high heel drop if you want support shoes for running. It will make moving your feet while running easier. CrossFit shoes with 4 mm drop are suitable for weightlifting. They have a lower drop that distributes the weight evenly. These type of shoes are ideal for all caliber of weightlifting.

  1. Hard or Soft Sole

Some CrossFit shoes come with a hard sole while others have a flexible sole. They allow you to move the legs freely. If you will be wearing the shoes while running, the flexible sole could be the most ideal one for you. But some CrossFit shoes have a hard sole. They are firmer and suitable for exercises that need proper positioning. And if you want more comfort you could use shoe inserts. You can find your perfect insole with the help of online guides. But any cross fit shoes with neither a hard nor soft sole may be ideal for regular training.

  1. Durability

CrossFit shoes are designed and meant for rigorous training. But when you subject them to a lot of activities, they wear and tear. If the exercises are regular, the shoes are likely to wear down even faster. Thus, buying a durable pair of CrossFit shoes is a must. It will save you from the agony of visiting a shoe store for another pair every three months. Also, check the shoes’ outer part. It should look good and sturdy.

  1. Lightweight

Note that the use to which you want to put the shoe to should be the main consideration. If you are an athlete, heavy duty shoes will slow you down. This type of shoes may not help you achieve your set goals. For instance, if you are training for a competition, buy a pair of shoes that will not hinder your training. Ensure that it is lightweight and durable.

There are many other factors you should consider when planning to buy CrossFit shoes. But ensure you buy a pair of shoe that is durable and suitable for your training needs. Consider the weight, the sole type and the training you will be undertaking. Also, look at the shoe drop and the contrast to help you decide whether it is ideal for you or not.

While I don’t really have to think about structured childcare anymore, lots of families with young children do. I still remember the nightmare of trying to fill a seemingly never-ending six weeks of the summer holidays with a carefully compromised combination of family and friends helping out, ‘fun’ football summer camps, time off work and days and days of activities that needed to suit a teenager who didn’t want to do anything and a small hyperactive child. There’s only so much money you can spend on Tango Ice Blasts at the cinema before you go a little bit crazy.

I was lucky enough that despite being a single parent, I’ve spent a lot of my children’s school lives working from home which made it so much easier on a day to day basis, not having to think about long term childcare or after school clubs. But lots of families don’t have that luxury, with both parents needing to work full time. It can be really daunting leaving your child in the hands of a childcare professional for a large part of the day, and you might not know which sort of childcare is right for you. What’s the difference between a nanny and an au pair? How do I know they can be trusted and have the right references? Will I need someone every day or just for a few hours a week? All these questions can have you second guessing your choices while deciding which childcare is right for you.

The feeling of having a newborn baby can be overwhelming. You may be overwhelmed by the feeling that you forgot some of the most important items you should have before your new baby comes. That is why most people start to shop a few months before the baby comes, and use guides like this one from Mommyhood101 – https://mommyhood101.com/best-baby-products-overall – just to make sure that they have enough time to get everything that they will need.

There are many items you need to purchase on the build up to the birth of your little one, using BabyGoss you can find the best products with the buying guides on their website.

The following are three items that you should have even before you receive your new baby:

Infant Car Seat

It cannot be stressed enough how important a car seat is for your newborn baby. An infant car seat is an undebatable item to buy when waiting for your newborn baby. You need to ensure safety for your young one and you cannot afford to take the chances by leaving out an infant car seat from your checklist. There are a lot of car seat designs to choose from and you will never run out of stores, both online and offline where you can get durable ones. Once you get your seat, ensure that it is properly secured in your car to wait for the new addition to the family.

Diapers

Oftentimes, when an infant is mentioned, the first baby item you are likely to mention is diapers. It is also the first item on your checklist for items for your new baby. Diapers are one of the most obvious items that you should pack first in your hospital bag. You cannot survive a day without diapers and if you do, you will probably have to DIY your own to get through it. Even when new, a baby will need to go for both number 1 and 2 so if you don’t want to go through the stress of changing his/her clothes several times during the day then diaper up!

Burp Cloths

This is one of the items that are easily forgotten when waiting for a new baby. Just as the name suggests, burp cloths come in handy when your baby is done feeding. The burps are usually wet and you don’t want to mess your clothes or those of your baby every time you feed them. In addition to that, burp cloths also play another useful role. Using a burp cloth help to prevent contraction of germs from your clothes to your baby, and that is why you need to have a few before your new baby comes.

Final Thoughts

These items should be at the top of your newborn baby checklist because their importance is incomparable. Ensure that they are on standby and ready for the newborn to avoid last minute rushes. You don’t want the first people to hold your baby to end up walking out of the hospital embarrassed with burp contents spilled on their clothes.

The 2016 account of Lane Graves, a two-year-old seized by a gator from a lagoon neighboring the Grand Floridian Hotel is tragic. A parent lost a child and no amount of ‘should or could have’ will change this fact.

Such occurrences spark public outcry and create divisions more so on social media.

A similar incident occurred at the Cincinnati Zoo where Harambe – a gorilla mauled a young boy after he fell into its enclosure. The Zoo came under scrutiny while the boy’s mother was taken sued but later absolved. Unfortunately, Harambe was killed for acting on his animal instincts. Fortunately, the boy survived.

Risk is part of life, at home or outdoors. However, in the aftermath of such vacation horror stories, we saw the need to share a few tips on keeping your kids safe while traveling.

1. Take it easy on flights

Flying takes a toll on our bodies – even grownups battle cramped conditions dilapidating boredom. Treat trips as a special time – notably long-haul flights – and letting up parenting control is one way to keep everyone sane, including fellow passengers. Your usual routine is left at home, why fight it?

A horde of kid-friendly games and movies on personal screens help a great deal. Airport playgrounds afford the opportunity to burn built-up energy. Pack a bag of special treats, since airlines got stingy with them – dished out over time helps a lot. You may resume your healthy eating routine once back on the ground.

2. Update your medical kit

Pre-kids, your medical bag may have been sufficient but needs a shake-up. You can’t afford to miss your child’s medication on foreign land, and they run a fever at night.

Similar to an adult travel medical kit, your child’s version must contain things your kid might require if sickness strikes while on a trip. Among the items to carry include;

  •         Cold and cough medicine
  •         Antihistamine for possible allergic reactions
  •         A sufficient supply of medication your kid takes regularly
  •         Fever fighting or pain relief medication like acetaminophen and ibuprofen
  •         Medical equipment used periodically like an inhaler for an asthmatic child

Supposing your kid requires specific drug or medical equipment, get to understand how to pass them through security. A physician’s note is necessary for injection needles.

3. Know your child

No trip, as short as it may be, will succeed if you fail to understand your child’s particulars. Travel stretches comfort zones and if your kid operates on a strict bedtime to avert meltdowns, do whatever necessary to get the child get sufficient sleep.

4. Take it easy on your itinerary

Traveling sans kids might have had you wake up early, eat fast and visit numerous sites in a day. Such a packed schedule may prove disastrous while going with kids.

Kids take a little bit of time to acclimatize to new environs, mostly owing to inexperience. A packed schedule will leave all feeling tired and cranky to have a great time.

5. Travel insurance

It’s good to know your child can access medical attention if they break a leg in Mongolia. Your insurance must cater for evacuation to a major city.

Are you at that point where you feel your relationship with your partner is harming you more than it is benefiting you? Do you feel that despite the harm you still want to hold on? Well, holding on may be a bad option.

Here are some of the benefits you will get from ridding yourself of a harmful relationship in the New Year.

  1. Have Strong Emotional and Physical Health

Being in a harmful relationship denies you the opportunity of having good physical and emotional health. You may find yourself in a state of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and have physical deterioration of the body. In the end, it becomes expensive as you will be forced to undergo counseling and purchase medication.

However, ridding yourself of a harmful relationship gives you the opportunity to develop a strong emotional and positive connection with yourself and those around you. Moreover, you will not have to worry about suffering from physical illness, going for therapy sessions or buying medications. You will be able to invest that money in meaningful ventures.

  1. You Are Able To Recreate Your Social Life

Harmful relationships can affect someone to a point that you disconnect from your social life. Normally, it comes about when your partner dictates how you spend your time with the people within your social circles. In the end, you can lose friends, family, and colleagues.

Therefore, staying away from such relationships will give you the opportunity to develop a strong social life, besides your relationship with your spouse. You will be able to go out with friends and family and have a worthy time with them.

Breaking from harmful relationships gives you the opportunity to grow yourself at a personal level. For instance, if your partner kept denying you the chance to grab the opportunities that came your way due to his or her insecurities, then you will be free to take them up.

You will now be able to take up that promotion or take up that leadership class you have been postponing. Remember, a good partner should be at the forefront in aiding you to achieve your life goals and ambitions.

  1. Rebuild Self-Image

Do you feel that your relationship with your better half has stripped you of your dignity? Then it is time to ship out of that relationship. Harmful relationships only serve to make you feel worthless, dependent, and self-critical.

However, staying clear of such relationships gives you the opportunity to redeem yourself, to rebuild your dignity, to rebuild your self-confidence and to rebuild your personality.

  1. Live Without Fear

Are you in constant fear of doing something to set your partner off? Or worried you might disagree and a fight breaks out. This should not be the case if you are in a relationship. A good relationship should be built on mutual respect, and love: not fear.

By breaking off from harmful relationships, you will be able to regain your voice back. You will be able to do things without having to feel guilty, afraid or victimized. A good partner should be able to accept you the way you are and value the role you play in the relationship.
