You will never understand up to what extent women are willing to do for the sake of beauty. They will brave undergoing through the knife for the purpose of cosmetic surgery. The risktaking involved is a case of the end justifying the means. However, a new concept of suffering for passion does not follow the same argument. Suffering for fashion is not just about the perils that being eternally stylish can pose to your bank accounts, but about the damage that your passion for fashion could be doing to your health.
Talk about low back pain and spine fractures which can be severely disabling and may result in chronic pain. And that is exactly what those supersized killer bags fashion ontheloose are doing to a woman’s body. Those supersized handbags could be as potentially dangerous to your health as upsizing your favorite fastfood value meals. The recent increase in the number of heavy handbag related injuries prompted chiropractors to seriously consider issuing a medical warning on the use of these huge totes.
These fashionable bags on the hot seat are not just painfully heavy, draped and bedecked with more blings than Apl.de Ap of the Black Eyed Peas, and that their capacity is so enormous there could be enough rooms for the whole vanity dresser to fit inside. These bags allow users to fill them with endless amounts of stuff that are not really necessary.
According to a recent study, women today carry twice as much in their handbags as our mothers used to do. In the good old days, our moms might have had a coin purse, a powder compact, a couple of tissues and a house key. Today’s women can be seen carrying a whopping great walletdiaryaddress book Filofax affair, an entire makeup bag and a bottle of water, plus great bunches of keys for the house, the office and the car. And that’s before we get to all the gadgets and gizmos MP3 players, mobile phones, laptops etc.
Social anthropologist, Kate Fox, of the Social Issues Research Center in Oxford, believes that a woman’s love for large luggage is not just about fashion. It’s about making an impression. Larger women generally prefer to carry a big bag as it makes their bum look smaller in comparison. And, the fashionably petite like to emphasize their size zero status by carrying an outsize bag.
It’s okay to drag handbags the size of houses if you are a celebrity with all the bodyguards to help you carry the load once you’re done showing off. The problem with carrying a heavy bag is that while it may not cause you an injury at the time you carry it, over time it has a cumulative effect, and we’re certainly seeing more instances of back pain triggered as a result, says Tim Hutchful of the British Chiropractic Association.
Carrying a heavy bag over one shoulder can cause your body to shift stance as you hike the shoulder up, which can shorten the muscles that result in a twisted or lopsided body position overtime. This may later on lead to serious back pain, and worse, a neck injury by stretching the nerves, or even a spine fracture.
Avoid carrying bag in the crook of your arm as it is farther away from your center of gravity, putting more strain on the body. When you hold something at arm’s length, the pressure it puts on the body is five times greater than if you were carrying it close to your chest.
Whether you are a certified fashionista, a working mother, or a plain Jane, always remember to carry a bag that is big enough to carry only the essential stuffs that you cannot do without. Health is wealth is a better motto to live by, while passion for fashion can be a health menace.

Imagine writing a few words, several times a day, and waiting for checks for 10, 50, two hundred dollars or more to pop through your letterbox some time soon. Thats what life is like for writers of short manuscripts, commonly called fillers, who can make this a full time writing career or a wonderfully profitable hobby.

Fillers are short written pieces, sometimes just a few words, ranging from readers letters, to verses, jokes and cartoons, recipes and household hints, overheard conversations and odd things children say, press errors, and much more.

Demand for fillers is growing fast as people spend less time reading longer features, preferring instead shorter, factpacked pieces that can be read during coffee breaks and in whatever little spare time most people have.

How to Get Started Today

Becoming a published writer, and being paid, is as easy as reaching for pen and paper, a few envelopes and stamps, and studying magazines for current published fillers. To be a published writer really fast look for prolific users like Readers Digest, Womans Own, Writers News, most hobby and special interest publications and virtually every womans magazine.

Read other peoples published and paid for contributions not all attract payment and model your work on those editors have already chosen. Notice how some editors favour comments on past published features in the magazine, while others choose pictures of children and pets, and others recipes, poetry, jokes and so on.

Look further at magazines that most closely match your interests and writing preferences and look for editors notes on how and what to write for payment which youll usually find on the contents page or in special readers letters and filler pages.

Make a list of possible subjects to write about and begin collecting ideas for letters, jokes, hints, as required by your target magazines.

Start by listing all main points you might include in your letter or filler. List these in order of importance, from 1 for most important down to however many points there are. This is usually the order they will take in your finished piece, but not always, and some editors favour keeping the most important, sometimes second most important piece to close the feature. As always, study your target magazine first.

Write your piece, in simple style, not trying to impress and without using long and complicated words. Make sure each word deserves its place in your manuscript. Go through with a highlighter pen marking essential points and looking for any which might be deleted.

Make your lead as strong as possible. Try including something to shock readers or search for an odd and little known fact about your subject. Anything to attract and retain reader interest. This is what will compel the editor, and ultimately his readers, to finish reading your work.

Letters can be handwritten, other fillers should be typed on A4 paper, double spacing, with wide margins.

Add your name and address at the beginning of the manuscript and number all pages.

Add an introduction letter to fillers stating subject, word count and your own name or chosen pen name.

Submit your letter or fillers and wait. Dont hassle editors, youll only antagonise them and possibly turn them against you forever. Once your first manuscript has gone, start work on the next, and the next.

Main Points for Filler Writers

Sentences and paragraphs should be short and punchy. Longer sentences and paragraphs are offputting to readers. And, of course, editors, too.

Begin by writing about subjects that interest you in magazines you read yourself.

Try to be different. Even if the subject is common, look for an unusual feature or aspect to focus on. Make it one readers can relate to and make sure nothing similar has featured recently.

Watch out for special sections in some publications, where editors invite features on a common theme, sometimes a grouse, frequently complaints, often asking readers to recount their most embarrassing moments, and so on.

Keep your eyes and ears open for anything remotely interesting to use in your letters and fillers. Listen to what other people say, particularly children. Watch out for odd signs and business names, and have your camera ready to record them.

Never copy other peoples work in your target magazines. This is breach of copyright, but there is no copyright on ideas, so what you see in one magazine can be borrowed to form the basis of a filler you write for another publication.

Study at least a dozen or so publications of the type you would like to write for. Rank these in order of preference, according to filler types, payment, subject matter. Start writing and submitting material for those highest on your list.

Think pictures. Think illustrations. Instead of sending just words to your target publication, include a photograph, maybe a cartoon or line drawing. This will increase your chance of being published. As always, careful study of your target magazine will establish editorial preferences.

Always have a notepad and pen at hand, and preferably a pocket camera and mini recorder. Its amazing where inspiration and ideas strike and how often there is nothing handy to record the incident. My best ideas come when Im in the bath, ironing, gardening, or walking the dog! Those notepads pinned to every wall and popped into my handbag have repaid their cost many times over!

Be professional in everything you write, however brief. This will bring your name to the fore when editors view your work. Being professional also opens the door to longer assignments, like articles and columns and maybe even regular commissions.

Never assume that what suits one market will also suit another. It wont. Each market must be studied as a separate entity.

Do not submit the same piece, or something very similar, to two markets at the same time. Editors hate this, especially where that other market is one of their major competitors. More importantly, you will lose all credibility as a writer.

Send your manuscript to the appropriate person or department. This will usually be indicated in the publication itself, usually on the readers letters page or in appropriate sections reserved for fillers. Otherwise, address your work to the editor whose name usually features in the early pages of your target magazine. Alternatively, look in Writers and Artists Yearbook or Writers Market for the information you require.

On the question of when to retrieve your work and submit it to another publication, most writers agree that three months is the very minimum you should wait before assuming your work has been unsuccessful. Some writers wait longer, up to a year for highpaying markets like Readers Digest.

Keep your work in circulation. Keep accurate records of everything you write, including where it is currently on offer and where it might be submitted next. Incidentally, resubmission doesnt apply purely to unsuccessful pieces published pieces can also be revised and resubmitted to new markets, but not too soon after publication and preferably not to major competitors of your main markets.

Above all, enjoy yourself, this isnt hard work after all!

Free online surveys that pay have become more and more popular. The promise to pay actual money for what most people do in their spare time is hardly anything new, but the prospect that it actually could happen to you tends to surprise a lot of people.

The reality is that there are, indeed, free online surveys that pay. Consumers are looking for the opportunity to share their insight with major corporations and major corporations want consumer input into their products as it assists with marketing and product design. There is no point in designing a fishflavored cough syrup in plastic bags if nobody is going to by it. That type of critical business error can end up costing millions, so giving a way a few dollars or a free bicycle can actually save corporate money.

Where do I sign up?

Free online surveys that pay are available almost anywhere online, but in the midst of the free opportunities lie opportunities that aren’t so fantastic. They offer a list of free surveys that you can take, but end up charging a fee for access to the list. The truth is that the lists of company’s are available everywhere because the company that is interested in consumer opinion ends up making that information available for free. The list companies are simply in the middle trying to turn a profit.

Several sites have discussion forums in which you can find all sorts of tales from construction workers that gave up their jobs to do surveys on handbags to stayathome moms that add income to the family by clicking away about their favorite deli meats. These sites are also great ways to encounter stories of some of the more questionable paid survey opportunities.

What about my children?
There are free online surveys that pay available for anyone in the family as long as a responsible adult is around to monitor the internet usage. Many companies are as interested in the opinions of children as they are adults, and as hard as it may be to believe children are among the most frequent consumers of products like TV dinners and popsicles. Businesses pay millions of dollars for this type of seemingly obvious information.

All in all, an important principle to remember is to be careful with your information. Giving away your time is one thing giving away your credit card number is quite another. Make sure that is you use your credit card, that it is a secure site. There are many secure payment sites such as paypal and clickbank.

Handbags, next to diamonds and maybe shoes, are a womans best friend. Not only are they used to hold everything that we hold dear, from our cellular phones to our credit cards, our palm pilots to the papers that will spell the difference between promotion and demotion. Lets face it, can you imagine a world without the womens handbag as we know it?

Today, women handbags are not only receptacles of your prized possessions but also fashion statements. Handbags are often used to express moods, individuality, style and status. And even though, it is not really worn so close to the body like bloused, skirts and jeans, there are still shapes and styles of womens handbags that may be flattering and unflattering to a person. Believe it or not, the handbag that you carry can actually add on or lessen the weight that you appear to carry.

Read on and find out just how to choose the perfect shape, size and style of women handbag that will fit your body type and personal style.

Look at the shape.
Choose the shape that is opposite your body type. For instance, if you are tall and thin, look for bags that are more on the rounded side like the hobo or those that are a bit unstructured. This will complement your figure as it would provide a sharp contrast to your body. If on the other hand, you are on the short and heavy side, it is good to carry women handbags that are tall, rectangular or those with really defined shapes. Long and sleek designs will help counterbalance your more rounded figure. Of course, there is no need to buy women handbags that are absolutely reed thin or those with really sharp edges. Silhouettes in soft fabrics and leathers can do the trick. Just remember to stay away from women handbags with rounded designs.

Think of the size
The size of your bag should complement your size. While the shape should be contrasting and complementing, the size should be in proportion. If for example you are quite tall and big for your age, it would be really awkward for you to carry this really small handbag. The same goes with a really petite person while carrying this really big bag. Awkward. Awkward. Awkward.

Closefitting women handbags or those that can be fit right under the arm at breast level can only look great with women who are slim and those who want to emphasize their cleavage. Using these kinds of women handbags are discouraged for people who have big arms and big busts as the short handles tend to emphasize the large sizes. Remember that the length of the handbag or shoulder bag will always accentuate the part it comes near with. If, for instance, the bag hits your bottom half or hip area, then that area of your body will become more focused as the eyes are naturally drawn to it.

Most women look great with handbags and shoulder bags that end in midtorso as it flatters the waist. To determine if the length of the strap fits you, try it out. If your arm feels cramped, then it is too short. Try out the bag in the mirror and see for yourself if the bag is flattering to you.

womens handbag
Most people do not notice what a purse says about ones personality. If you start to analyze the different aspects of the purse, you would find that it tells much about that person. So you can check ones personality by looking at their purseonality. Some examples to illustrate my point are what you would find inside the purse as well as the purse itself. You might look inside for different hints to ones organization or items of importance to the individual. The style, shape, and color also reflect much about a person.

If you look inside someones purse, you could tell if that person is organized or not. You could also tell if they are conscious about looks or more about other things. Think about what you have in your purse. Do you have only the essentials such as identification, money, and keys? Most likely you have some personal items that identify you. You might have pictures of your family, you might have makeup, you might have candy or toys for small childrenyou might even have all of these and more. Whatever you carry in your purse defines which things that are important to you to have with you at all times. You may not have given it much thoughtbut think about the things you move from one purse to another and you will understand my point. There are always things that you feel you must have in your purse. You also look for purses that allow you to carry the things that you need or want with you.

There are many purses on the market and new ones are designed daily. Why would their need to be so many different purses just to carry basic essentials? Most women carry them for more reasons than just to carry their things.

Another reason for buying a particular purse is to match their own personal taste. This allows people to express their personality by color, style and perhaps even designer. In a survey performed on college students, it was found that 86 percent of the students felt that one purse was not enough. In fact, 62 percent have five or more purses. The reason for different purses was generally for different occasions. Some change purses as often as they change outfits. However, there were some students that felt that one purse was sufficient for their needs.

When talking to one student, she said that when she looks for a purse, she looks for something small with a lot of compartments to hold money. “Without a purse, change would get lost at the bottom of my backpack and you just need somewhere to put your change,” she said. “I bought my purse because it’s small, like a wallet on a string.”

We talked to another student that told us that she only carried specific designer purses such as Dooney Bourke, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci. She said, I just feel more glamours when I have one of my designer purses with me.

Several students expressed that color was the most important aspect of the purse. They wanted purses to match their favorite color or their outfit. Some chose colors because it reminded them of other things. One student said “I have a bright green one that says I am fun and outgoing. Another said, I have a blue purse because I love the ocean. Yet another said, I change purses daily depending on my mood.

Whether you have basic tastes in purses and carry only your essential belongings or if you prefer to make extravagant statements with your purse and carry everything possible, purses will always be a fun and easy way to express yourself.

Getting annoyed or wary about bags to be packed for the next vacation need not be a mandatory part of your every holiday. Though it might seem tedious, following certain tips in packing can make the errand quick, easy, and efficient!

For a more effortless packing experience, remember

1. Lists, lists, lists All destinations require different things to be packed. Once the place is fixed, make a list of things you and the family will require. You might want to make separate list for every family member to prevent missing anything essential.

Lists expedite packing and help you fill up luggage claims in the event of lost bags! However, beware of too numerous lists. They could confuse you and make life difficult. Also, keep the final list in your hand baggage or wallet where you can refer to it in the event you need it.

2. bags type On the surface it appears like an unnecessary discussion but could make a considerable impact on your holiday! Consider packing fragile crystal in softsided luggage, not a great idea, is it? If the trip is going to be a long and arduous one, perhaps a hardsided luggage will be a better companion. Choose according to requirements not only on fashion dictates! When purchasing bags for a trip, look for inbuilt characteristics like

a. hanger rods

b. Reversefold designs

c. Packing fixtures

d. extra pockets

e. Wetpacks

f. Retractable wheels

g. locks that do not dangle too much

f. Size that allows the luggage to be carried for its intended use. For instance, if it is a handbag then it should fit the flight overhead luggage location.

3. The business of packing the quickest steps to packing are

a. Clear a flat surface for packing and open your packing cases on it, one at a time.

b. Stack all the material to be packed next to the bag. Make separate stacks for separate bags.

c. Place heavy objects like shoes, toiletries, and hairdryers at the bottom of the case. You can call up the hotel you are staying over at to confirm if they provide things like hairdryers and avoid lugging too much.

d. Next, use wrinklefree clothing like jeans and lingerie to cushion heavy items.

e. Now, start with the heavy clothingsuits and dresses. Keep the shoulders of the suits straight, next to the hinge of the bag. Fold clothes over each other to avoid creasing and wrinkling.

Fold all clothes on their natural creases to minimize the space they take. (Note check with the hotel if they provide laundry service, if they do you can reduce the number of things you have to carry.)

4. Packing the hand baggage It is imperative that you are equally or more cautious about what you carry on your person.

A checklist is given below

a. your PASSPORT and TICKETS.

b. Wallet and identification like drivers license or other identification.

c. Insurance papers.

d. Travelers checks, money, and any other valuables.

e. Itinerary with confirmation numbers and required telephone numbers.

f. Your medication.

g. Film rolls that you can ask to be hand checked to avoid damaging them with xrays! Its best practice to get the rolls developed wherever you are before traveling, even though it might be more pricey to do so but at least you are guaranteed that they are not getting spoilt!

Lastly, travel light. Coordinate outfits to avoid lugging too many clothes. Dont be too flashy so that you dont draw too much attention to yourself and your luggage. Mark off your luggage well to avoid it being mixed up and to make out it quickly on luggage conveyors.

We cant help but admire designer handbags when we see them being sported around by Hollywood celebrities as well as by other rich and famous people. We go to the different shopping centers or maybe visit the online websites of the various designer brands only to find out that the handbag comes with a rather expensive price tag. While you may find other affordable brands offering one in a somewhat similar style or design, we really want the designer brand probably because of the status symbol that comes along with it.

There are those people who buy knockoffs or fake handbags especially if they cant afford the genuine or original ones. I have to admit that makers of replicas nowadays make them so like the original one that even experts have a difficult time distinguishing the genuine from the fake one. Plus it comes in a very cheap (I mean really, really cheap) price saving on you on hundreds of dollars.

But have you ever thought about the consequences of buying a knockoff? While it may be true that you are not committing any crime when buying a knockoff you have to think twice before buying one. The purchase of fake items robs our government of millions of dollars because the people selling them dont pay their taxes unlike you who do. Syndicates and gangsters profit from selling fake merchandise which they use to finance their illegal activities.

The question now is how do we spot a fake for there are some people trying to pass knockoffs as originals. It used to be easy before because the knockoffs were made of materials that were of an inferior quality. But currently, the trend is that knockoffs are almost of the same quality as the original ones.

It would help to have an idea of the correct price of the original item. If it normally sells for maybe more than five hundred dollars and it is being offered to you at say just a hundred bucks then the merchandise being sold to you is a knockoff. Also items like leather and apparel with a made in Taiwan tag are not genuine.

If you intend to buy online, it is important that you are cautious. I would strongly advise that you go to the brands official website for they sell there authentic items. Some items being sold at auctions are not really the real thing.

8226 Room To BreatheThis season is about flowing fabric and soft movement. No supertight styles here. To avoid looking frumpy, pair a full, flowing skirt with a top that features straight, tailored lines. Make sure you can’t fit two people in your tunic, but a little bit of roomthat’s just perfect.

8226 Short ShortsWho wears short shorts? Gals that are super fit or supermodels. Luckily, for the rest of us, gauchos and Bermuda shorts are once again a warmweather favorite. “Shorts” that meet the knee are popping up everywhere. Dress ‘em up with a sexy heel or dress them down with cute flipflops8230either way, they’re hot.

8226 Color Me BeautifulEarthy tones are everywhere beige, cream, yellow. To stay ultrahip, lace your favorite frock with brown accents. Keep it earthy, keep it cool.

8226 A Feminine FlairA delicate ruffle here? An embroidered flower there? Lace? White crochet? Yes! Chances are that deep down, every woman has a touch of a “girlygirl” sitting pretty inside of her. Subtle reminders of femininity can be found on everything from thick belts to bohemian skirts.

8226 Can’t Forget The Accessories The fastest way to turn a boring, old outfit into something fab is to pair it with some fun shoes and a big ol’ handbag. This season’s shoes? Heels with a peekaboo toe or funky wedge sandals. The bag? As long as it’s big, it’s ideal. Protect your eyes with oversized sunglasses.

8226 For The BoysOkay, ladies, it may not be all about us. The men in your life should be looking fabulous, too. This season, suggest preppy polo shirts and plaid shorts. If you’ve got a “guy’s guy” on your hands, get him vintage Tshirts or leather flipflops. Because after all, the better he looks, the better we look!

Either adventure in handbags shopping can be fun and enjoyable. Knowing what you are looking for is the key to finding what you are ultimately looking for.

Just be practical?

A worse headline for handbag shopping could possibly not be thought of. A handbag afterall is a personal and distinctive item. It says quite a bit about whom you are and what youre all about. Unfortunately, there is a certain amount of necessity in the statement if youre going to have everything you need for your day at your fingertips when you need it.

Stylish yet practical

There is nothing to say that if you do a little shopping you cannot find a handbag that is stylish yet practical. When you go about your shopping for this type of bag, simply cut down on the number of options that you are thinking about for an every bay bag. Place style at the top of your list and organization in second spot. You will, however, still want a mobile pocket and possibly an interior zip pocket for theft and just a little organizational reference.
I dont want practical or organized
Lets just face facts, some people just need to carry everything and want one big space to carry their stuff in. In this case, consider a bit stiffer bag that wont sag quite as much. You will also want to shop with a cell pocket in mind at the top of the main compartment. You can search for the keys or lipstick but you will want quick access to the mobile.

Investment grade

Practical and stylish may be one part of handbag shopping but possibly you have a few other ideas when it comes to handbags. Buying a handbag for a night on the town only requires space for a lipstick, compact and mobile. When this is the case, and you have the money to spend on a bag, consider a handbag boutique. These shops do very little advertising so youll need to research your local area. In these shops, bags can sell for upwards of 16,000 and are very often limited editions. Function at this point matters very little even if the bag happens to see the light of day more than a few dozen times. Keeping track of whats hot is the key, as so is trusting the person you are doing business with. Knockoffs can very easily be substituted so knowing your stuff is important.

Everything in its place

There are a few elements that will be required in your handbag if you are to keep up. Your requirements may very just a bit but, for the most part, the basics are the same depending upon what the bags main use is meant to accomplish. First off is the main compartment. It needs to be a relatively decent size without getting to the point of making you search through it for a lipstick or pad of paper. If the main compartment is the right size, it will have left room for a another space or two on either side so that papers, purse, compact and other specific items can be sectioned away from where your hand will naturally go for your most used items. Most used items will need their own pocket so that you can go right to them without looking. These pockets are generally reserved for the mobile, keys and purse. Outside pockets are somewhat practical but should be designed in such a way that they are less susceptible to thieves. Even though they are extremely convenient you will not want to put anything of value in them just for this reason.
