8 Fun Ways to Party with Glitter
With the holidays upon us already, there’s more reason (or excuse!) than ever to bring on the sparkle – in everything from invitations and decor to edible treats! So I thought it would be really fun and timely to share a round up of some of my very favorite ways to “party with glitter”…
1. Ombre Glittered Initial: Add a pop of glam and personalization to any celebration with a wooden or paper mache letter all decked out in glitter!
2. Glittered Spoons: Glam up your wooden or plastic utensils for a fun & pretty presentation. You can accomplish this by painting on some Mod Podge and pouring on the glitter – or simply adhering a piece of glittered paper.
3. Gold Glitter Dipped Lemons: Glittered lemons? Why not?! This is a playful way to embellish your party tablescape. I actually recently glittered some limes for a holiday fiesta party too!
4. Glittered Lined Envelopes: Make invitations feel extra fancy with some glittery envelope liners. You can buy glittered paper by the rolls ad Paper Source or Michaels.
5. Glittered Frames: This is one of my favorite easy ways to bring on the sparkle & add a girly flair to any party. Plus, they really make those all-important party signs or photos shine!
6. Sparkly Cake Pops: Edible glitter!? Yes, please! Plenty of local bakeries and Etsy vendors offer sparkly treats like this nowadays, or you can shimmer up your own homemade (or store-bought!) treats with edible Disco Dust.
7. Glittered Animals, Cupcake Toppers & Bows: Okay, so there’s really 3 separate ideas here… but check out how cute they look together!
8. DIY Glittered Crowns: These darling lace crows are surprisingly easy to make using a little lace, some fabric stiffener, and some glitter spray or brush-on sparkle paint. Click here to check out the full DIY tutorial. From pint-sized birthday girls to the glowing bride-to-be, I’ve actually found that “kids” of all ages love these pretty head pieces!

China reports second H7N9 bird flu death in a week
Health officials in protective suits put a goose into a sack as part of preventive measures against the H7N9 bird flu at a poultry market in Zhuji, Zhejiang province January 5, 2014.
(Reuters) - China reported one more death from the H7N9 strain of bird flu in southwestern Guizhou province, state news agency Xinhua said on Monday, in the second death from the virus in the past week.
A 38-year-old man from Zunyi city died last Thursday, Xinhua said, citing health authorities in Guizhou.
Xinhua said it was the first human case of H7N9 in Guizhou this year.
Last Friday, China said a 38-year-old man in eastern Fujian province died from H7N9.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said last week that seven more people in China had been found to be infected with the H7N9 strain of bird flu in the previous week, taking to around 150 the total number of cases so far.
The H7N9 bird flu emerged last year in China and has infected around 150 people there and in Taiwan and Hong Kong, killing at least 45 of them.
Experts say there is no evidence as yet of any easy or sustained person-to person transmission of the strain. But an early scientific analysis of probable transmission of the new flu from person to person, published last August, gave the strongest proof yet that it can at times jump between people and so could cause a human pandemic.
The WHO said the source of the human infections was still being investigated. It stressed that it does not advise any special screening for people going in and out of China, nor does it recommend any travel or trade curbs.

Fletcher: We're behind the boss
13/01/2014 10:52, Report by Mark Froggatt
Darren Fletcher claims his United team-mates have been angered by recent criticism from the media and insists the Reds are ready to turn this season around.
United notched a first win of 2014 with a 2-0 victory over Swansea on Saturday after suffering three consecutive defeats in all competitions, a disappointing run of form after which one newspaper claimed the players were not fully behind David Moyes.
Former boss Sir Alex Ferguson's attendance at matches has also, strangely, been scrutinised in the press. However, when asked how the squad feels about such speculation, Fletcher was unflinching in his response.
"It gets us angry because we know it is not true, that is the biggest thing," the Scot explained. "We are there every day and we realise that the players are fully behind the manager. Alex Ferguson being in the stand has no bearing on anything, it is great to see him there supporting the team and I think it would be a worry if he wasn't.
"I think we have just got to be believe in ourselves and keep a close-knit group, keep making sure that the experienced players are guiding the younger players in the right way and that we are coming together as a team. I think winning games helps that, it is the only way you get through that and we have got to keep doing that."
Fletcher made his seventh appearance of the season on Saturday and completed another 90 minutes with
relative ease, continuing his personal rehabilitation following a prolonged battle with the bowel condition ulcerative colitis.
Crucially, as one of United's most experienced squad members, the likeable Scot is also guiding the club's younger players through a testing period, a responsibility he is relishing.
"I think it comes naturally with experience, you have been there and done it. I have been in situations when we have been written off and booed and all of the things that go with it. You come through that and you are stronger for it. You have got to do that.
"I had experienced players around me at those times who really backed me and gave me great advice. I am just playing on experience. I am getting match fitness back, I am getting stronger with every game. But experience is the biggest thing, having a bit of knowledge about the game and having been there and done it for such a long time really helps."

Analysis: Januzaj outstanding
As the Reds got back to winning ways on Saturday via a 2-0 Barclays Premier League home win over Swansea, it was United's boy wonder Adnan Januzaj who again took the plaudits after another impressive display.
Although not on the scoresheet himself, the Belgian-born attacker's eye-catching performance was enough for United fans on Twitter to name him Man of the Match, taking 71% of the vote ahead of Shinji Kagawa and Antonio Valencia, the three players nominated by MUTV matchday pundit David May.
Januzaj had a hand in both goals and many other good attacking moves that the Reds created, so former United left-back Arthur Albiston enjoyed dissecting the 18-year-old's performance in MUTV's The Big Match De-Brief programme.
"He looks as if he's been in the first team for over five years, he's just so confident," the Scot said. "He plays with no fear and has got great vision. We watched him play in the youth teams as a striker but he's more than effective out wide too.
"Eventually I see him doing a similar job in the middle to Mesut Ozil at Arsenal, although I think he'll have more goals in him because he used to play up front. He doesn't get fazed when he gets into the box."

How to Become a Natural Beauty
We try to look beautiful, but sometimes end up looking a tad artificial. This article not only highlights the ideals of a natural beauty but also reflects on enhancing yourself, body, and mind.
Steps
1
- 1Believe that you are beautiful. There is nothing more beautiful - The most efficient way is eating a BALANCED diet and also get plenty of exercise. Start by walking with friends, taking up dancing or start to jog around the block every day.
- 2Clear up your skin and even the tone. Embrace your face. Learn to accept and love your skin even if it is not clear or even toned. You can use natural products such as shea butter for more even skin tone, rosemary oil for acne, tea tree oil for inflamed acne, and witch hazel for a calming affect on redness. Just add a few drops to your nighttime moisturizer. Supplement by adding more veggies and fruit to your diet and getting plenty of vitamins D and C. Remember to exfoliate your skin no more than 3 times a week. Do not over exfoliate though because it will make your face go flaky and red. Rinse your face in the morning with cool water and use a cleanser that doesn't contain alcohol. Place the cleanser in a small spray bottle for a light misting that you can use throughout the day and follow with a moisturizing face cream with a sunblock.
- 3Get pretty, healthy hair. If you want to dye your hair (which always makes your hair stand out and is a great way to change up your look) opt for ammonia free kits or ask your colorist or stylist at your salon to use ammonia free or "gentle" concoctions. Ask for a semi or demi-permanent dye and always embrace your hair colour and texture. No hair type is unattractive. Not only will this mitigate the time you spend with the flatiron or curling iron, it will also increase the strength of your tresses. If you must use heat-tools use a heat protective spray before you style or blow dry to keep your hair shiny and healthy. Wash your hair regularly so its nice and clean otherwise it will go greasy and it will start to smell.
- 4Brush those pearly whites. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, follow with a restorative mouth wash. Floss at night before you go to bed, and chew sugar free gum after meals to promote saliva flow which ultimately lessens the probability of cavities because it prevents plaque acid. Be sure to see your dentist twice a year for checkups and a cleaning. To keep teeth white drink strong acidic drinks such as coffee and soda through straws to prevent corrosion of the enamel.
- 5Don't make the makeup obvious. A good tinted moisturizer, brown mascara, nude or pink lip gloss is all the natural beauty needs.
- 6Get some exercise. Be body conscious, but never obsess. You don't need the fancy diet programs advertised on T.V. nor do you need to belong to those health clubs that are popping up everywhere. Just do you. Exercise what you enjoy. That's why it's called exercise, which originally meant "the act of employing or putting into play". So if you like to walk your dog, run, hike, bike, dance, or even watch Richard Simmons. Do what makes you move and what you enjoy. Exercise also makes you feel more confident and happy because it releases hormones called endorphins.
- 7Get enough sleep. Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! It is wonderful and we don't do it nearly enough. Aim for the bare minimum 6 and a half hours of sleep and shoot for 9/10 hours. Set a regular bedtime such as 9 O'clock and don't eat two hours before bed, stay away from caffeine which has a half life of approximately 4.9 hours. That means that if you drink a cup of coffee, half of the caffeine in that cup of coffee is out of your body in 4.9 hours. If you have a cup of coffee an hour before bed... well you are in for a restless night. If you have a hard time falling asleep, systematic relaxation techniques are wonderful. Start at your feet and tense the muscles in your feet for a count of 5 seconds and relax. Proceed up the body tensing and releasing the leg, buttocks, stomach, arms, hands, neck and face muscles through counts of 5 seconds. If you have racing thoughts imagine that your thoughts are fish and you are catching them in a slow moving stream. Acknowledge that they are there and then send them on their way, Relaxing meditation music on YouTube is very useful to. Finally, melatonin is a natural supplement that aids in relaxation and sleep. This should be reserved for individuals who have a very difficult time with sleep and are considering going on medication. Try melatonin first. It is naturally occurring, and non-habit forming.
