Bringing on the glam for prom

Guest post written by Karen Pillman

Every girl can have her red carpet moment and most of the time that's when her prom happens and then her wedding. So it's understandable why teenage girls make such a huge deal out of prom. Although in my experience, I decided that getting dressed and dolled up for the big night was way more fun than actually the time that you spent at the prom. But I won't tell my daughter that because she's even more excited about the prom itself and I'm helping her get ready for hers in April.
I've been looking up the costs that I can expect to pay for my daughter for the prom and trying to fit them all into our budget. When I was doing some research on how much I can expect to pay for a prom hairstyle, I saw information on Debt Counseling and decided that my husband and I could really use it. We’ve been having some trouble with managing our credit cards, and this seems like it could help
I've figured out that we can buy some great nail polish instead of paying for a manicure and pedicure. A few other short cuts and we're going to make her prom dream work!

Dance the Night Away

I love going out to dance the night away but sometimes I just don't have the energy. 

Music is what I love.  Music is what I need.  Music is what motivates me.  

When my friends call wanting to go out dancing for the night, the last thing I want is to be feeling exhausted and not wanting to go.  Sometimes a life of family, friends, work, and just normal stress is enough to get me down.  I know that going out dancing always rejuvenates me.  I just don't feel like I have the energy sometimes. 

I just stumbled upon something that may help me in the future with this problem so I do not miss any more fun nights out with my friends. The offer the following:  
Party enhancers
K6 herbal incense
Spiritual powders


All of this is offered from Herbal City LLC.  They say that their products are all legal herbal mood enhancers.  They say that their products help people feel good, help with stress, depression, and anxiety.


So, are these products for you.  I do not know.  You make the choice.  If you love the night life, want to feel good, need help with stress, anxiety or depression this may be for you.  

I do not know if this is the answer to my need to dance.  Is this slight problem worth giving these herbal products a try?  Or is my body just telling me to stay home and veg out or get some sleep.  Maybe this would help when I have already made a commitment and then get home from a long day at work and do not feel like leaving the house again.  I will have to give this product some serious thought and research before I have my own answer to these questions.

 As for you, you will have to do the same.

Bond Girl

Have you ever wanted to be (or secretly) wanted to be a Bond Girl?

Just think about how cool it would be to be on a secret mission!  You and you James Bond could get all dressed up to go to some kind of political gala.  The scene is set. You have to have all of the tools with you that you would need to spy, get evidence and possibly escape any situation where your cover is blown.  One of the most important items would be something to communicate with your James Bond if and when you get separated and need to notify the other one of a situation.  A Lapel Microphone is a must!  It's discreet but very effective.  While my James Bond sneaks off to try to get evidence, I distract anyone who tries to follow him or goes off wandering around and may find him out.  I am able to warn him of any danger with our communication device.  If my James Bond gets found out, he can use the device to send me a code to come and help him. 
My James Bond finds the room with the evidence, sneaks in and starts to dig around.  I distract a congress man by flirting with him to stop him from going down the corridor.   I take his arm and ask him to introduce me to a Senator that I've really wanted to meet.  We grab another drink on the way, I'm drinking Champagne and he has a Whiskey straight up.  Problem taken care of.
My James Bond is still in the room collecting evidence.  He hears foot steps and voices nearing the door.  He finds a place to be out of sight in case the  come in the room.  One of them has their hand on the handle.  Then knob starts to turn and the door slowly opens.  The men keep in conversation and decide not to enter the room, closing the door.  My James Bond gets back to work.  When he has collected all of the evidence, he leaves the room and joins me back at the gala.  Shortly after, we leave.  Another successful mission!
