You can find boots that fit most needs regardless of your size. They also have shoes, ankle boots and wide fit wellies so they are a one-stop-shop for everyone with wide fit feet. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You can go into the extensive size calculator and take a look <a href="https://www.widecalfbootsstore.co.uk/">here</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBkfDd-7TG5StGjdIEDwGdmlwQKC0F8YY7FiMDA3HbBfaPxp5CbQBUvRww9jBjOcrKbTL2aDbLMCb6dREFb25-7_qM1-mTKNWGJbPqmqxc1wr719pJeaqYAzwELEocB968svDhxiKdjWA/s5001/DSC00961.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3388" data-original-width="5001" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBkfDd-7TG5StGjdIEDwGdmlwQKC0F8YY7FiMDA3HbBfaPxp5CbQBUvRww9jBjOcrKbTL2aDbLMCb6dREFb25-7_qM1-mTKNWGJbPqmqxc1wr719pJeaqYAzwELEocB968svDhxiKdjWA/w640-h434/DSC00961.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> I love these leather wide calf boots that I was kindly gifted from Wide Calf Boots Store.

This is the Cardiff style and because of my bad balance I can't wear much of a heel without the risk of falling over and breaking both my feet and my neck, but these boots have a medium heel which is really comfortable to walk in.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbixEDdnpxkNQYrRTEItm-FtflGsfEHag2R-brh3IK3BD2QU5hFMZq85XTFAmZlrX7WrVTYRbHgwDKH-avpvD9P3gIdsjIkN_q91e-56UJubu-6BEtqFHzgAGyg0Jt5VoJcXgx1x_H1wo/s4810/DSC00963+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4810" data-original-width="3208" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbixEDdnpxkNQYrRTEItm-FtflGsfEHag2R-brh3IK3BD2QU5hFMZq85XTFAmZlrX7WrVTYRbHgwDKH-avpvD9P3gIdsjIkN_q91e-56UJubu-6BEtqFHzgAGyg0Jt5VoJcXgx1x_H1wo/w426-h640/DSC00963+%25282%2529.JPG" width="426" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> I love how these boots have such a simple design from the front, but when you turn around, that is when all the fun is happening!!

text-align: center;">I paired the dress with a vest top from Primark and some fishnet cycling shorts from Boohoo and just my normal undies under for a see through effect. I was visiting a big museum in Oslo the day I was wearing this dress, but walking around in Oslo showing off my underwear felt rather liberating despite my age and I felt like a princess in this dress all day. Definitely out of my comfort zone, but would definitely do it again cause I loved this outfit. I might just wear my bra and panties under next time for even more of a wow factor. Great dress for a warm day and so cute! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gUy4pKa8qI4" width="320" youtube-src-id="gUy4pKa8qI4"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sorry for the bad filming in the video!!! :-( </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: xx-large;">Mookie xx</span></div>Mookiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07637145216068532612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307831482205753138.post-80764253916530531062020-06-25T14:26:00.000+01:002020-06-25T14:48:13.045+01:005 Things To Consider Before Getting Your First Piercing<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you’re thinking of </span><a href="http://www.mookieslife.com/search/label/beauty" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">getting a piercing</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and you’re unsure where to begin then don’t worry, you have definitely come to the right place. Whether you’ve been considering it for years or you’ve only just started to warm to the idea of getting a piercing, you need to be sure you’re making the right decision. Luckily, there are lots of questions you can ask yourself to ensure you’re doing exactly that. From deciding on the right type of piercing to setting yourself a budget, the more questions you’re asking the better. With that in mind, </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">here are 5 things to consider before getting your first piercing: </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What Piercing Would You Like?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the first things you need to consider is the type of piercing you would like. Whether you’ve already got a strong idea or you need to do a little bit of research, it’s often much easier to book an appointment if you know what piercing it is you want. For most, the store you’re visiting will have specific staff for a range of piercings, so this means they will be able to book you in with the person who is best suited for the job.

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What Is Your Budget?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once you know what piercing you want to get, you can start to think about your budget. Whether you’re getting a nose piercing or you’re having your ears pierced, the prices are going to vary depending on where you go. If you’re on a strict budget, you may find that it’s necessary to shop around first. For more information when it comes to nose piercing and </span><a href="https://piercingmania.co.uk/nose-piercing" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">nose piercing studs</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, you can visit this site here. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Where Will You Be Getting It Done?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another important thing to consider is where you’re going to be getting your piercing done, as chances are there will be a number of different places available to you. Whether you’re going to your local tattoo shop or a local jeweller, there are lots of places to get piercings and each of them has their own benefits.

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Although some places offer walk-in appointments, you may need to think about whether or not it’s necessary to book an appointment in advance. If you’re going for something that is a little more complicated, it may be required. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have You Thought About Aftercare?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, you need to think about aftercare. Once you have had your piercing you need to do all that you can to keep yourself from getting an infection. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With lots of questions to ask yourself before you get your first piercing, you can be sure you’re as prepared as you can be.

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you haven’t asked yourself this question lately, then now is the time to do so. Glasses can say quite a bit about your personality. They might give others the impression that you’re creative or that you are a risk-taker. Here are some insights into what different frames say about you.</span></div>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Colourful Eyeglasses</span></h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you wear glasses with red frames or another bold colour, then you are making the statement that you are a creative person. You are not looking at what is trendy but, instead, want to stand out and be original.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bright colours for eyewear also show that you are an outgoing person. The great hue of your frames is not going to hide you in a crowd, and that’s a good thing! Get the attention of others, whether you are a painter, writer, or another artistic type.</span></div>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tortoise Shell Glasses</span></h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tortoiseshell</span><a href="https://www.eyeglasses.com/eyeglasses/brand/burberry.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Burberry glasses</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and sunglasses make a great fashion statement. They are accessories that complete your outfit well as they match any colour of clothing and suit both trendy and classic styles. Plus, when you choose a designer brand like Burberry, you are more likely to get a quality item.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also, tortoiseshell frames are reminiscent of the movie Thelma & Louise. Remember that Susan wore a pair? Channel your feminist spirit with a similar look!</span></div>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rimless Frames</span></h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are wearing rimless or semi-rimless frames, then you are likely a minimalist at heart. You have a lifestyle that gives you everything you need, without any drama.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also, you don’t want to hide behind</span><a href="http://www.mookieslife.com/2015/06/are-you-glasses-wearer.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">your glasses</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. That’s why you choose rimless eyeglasses that open up your beautiful face. If you like wearing makeup, it’s easy to see eyeshadows with the rimless or semi-rimless styles.</span></div>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Large Circular Glasses</span></h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Are you known for having a unique style or always doing things differently than others? If so, then you might wear big round glasses or want a pair of them.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This type of look is one that women and men tend to appreciate too when they have a love of all things vintage. The big frames are reminiscent of old Hollywood, so that makes sense.</span></div>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;">

<span id="gmail-docs-internal-guid-3026a7ef-7fff-6b04-c088-8bfd21704409"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do you stay or do you go? A large dilemma for most homeowners is whether they should</span><a href="http://www.mookieslife.com/2019/02/living-high-life.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> stay in their property and renovate</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, or move to a new one with more space. The cost of moving is, of course, higher than the cost of upscaling the home, which is the obvious draw of doing something more with the house. Improving the home is - however - a big job. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Homeowners have a lot of planning to do if they decide to improve the home instead of moving to a new property. The trouble is that there must be adherence to the law, too. For example, a </span><a href="https://scenarioarchitecture.com/lp/permitted-development-in-conservation-area/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">permitted development in a conservation area</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> may not be allowed to include a few things, and so it’s important to know whether it will be legal for you! Below, we’ve got five things to be mindful of when it comes to those home improvements. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 351px; overflow: hidden; width: 624px;"><img alt="Two Light Red and White Pillar Candles Beside Pink Orchid Flowers in Kitchen" height="351" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/mWGpIBMODNOlRV2bAqtuyIYXCrJCsqR_RgEiUKNj2_eeejQJxi0Su6u5fdse1fnGH-tGp9Z4pgYzCv7O70p5_ZCjVHQdYn0eaH-WgAt8-6TedF5h9B49rpt26oSuMqZu65vPvpl_" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="624" /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/candles-contemporary-decoration-furniture-210687/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Image Source: Pexels</span></a></div>
<ol style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Think About Your Neighbours. If you have an extension idea that you are planning, then you need to think about your neighbours and their right to natural light. If you build an extension that blocks out what your neighbours need, there are going to be issues.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Extra Bathrooms. Did you know that you can now place toilets in the home wherever you need to? It used to be the case that you would have to install a door lobby between the toilet and another room and that was designed to stop smells. This is pretty much the best thing to happen for homeowners, as now you don't have to worry about where you place your toilet! Your architect should be able to help you with the building regulations, too.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How High Is Your Ceiling? If you want to extend the rooms in your home upward, you can do so as long as you are sensible. There is no longer minimum ceiling height to worry about, but you want to have at least 2.1m of height from floor to ceiling.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Think About An Added Room. If you really want to improve your home, what about adding a new room entirely? You could add more storage to your home with plenty of space added. A new room could be as small as you like for storage, or big enough to have an extra bedroom. No matter which way you look at it, you can use a new room to make improvements.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Renovate The Basement. Your basement could be very useful to you if you gut it out and get it set up for a new bedroom suite or living area. You could </span><a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/diy-and-decorating/how-to-convert-a-basement-202958" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">convert the basement</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> into a huge new kitchen, or you could even add a whole wall made of windows so that you can see directly into the home, too. There is so much that you can do with the money and space when you have the time!</span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you want to move to a bigger home, you can do so, but remember that you need to spend time searching for a home, listing your existing house and packing. Why move when you can improve?</span></div>

The Ultimate Family Break Guide<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Holidays are one of the most exciting events that you can do together as a family. However, they can also be a source of much confusion and procrastination as well. After all, there are so many options available, how can you possibly know that you are making the right choice for the perfect family break? Well, instead of sitting around scratching your head, check out my ultimate holiday type guide below. Something that should make your final holiday choice that much easier. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 15pt 8pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Most people start with accommodation options, but I think what you really need to consider first of all is catering. After all, it's no good picking a gorgeous hotel if they don't offer the meals that you and the family will need on-site. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 15pt 8pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With that in mind, there are two main catering options to consider. The first is </span><a href="https://www.mappingmegan.com/pros-and-cons-of-an-all-inclusive-holiday/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the legendary all-inclusive</span></a><span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, which literally male that all meals are included in the price you pay. Of course, you can expect these types of breaks to cost a bit more when you book. Although it may work out cheaper, in the long run, to go all-inclusive as a family. Especially if your kids will want lots of soft drinks and snacks during the day. After all, all those things can really add up. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 15pt 8pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, having said that, you need to be careful to read the small print when blowing an all-inclusive break. The reason being that not all of them include snacks. Some have other restrictions, such as only offering house alcohol to adults rather than name brands too. Which it is smart to be aware of before you book. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 15pt 8pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At completely the other end of the spectrum to all-inclusive, </span><a href="https://www.moremountain.com/blog/latest-news/catered-vs-self-catered-accomodation-best-winter-holiday/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">you have self-catering</span></a><span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. This is when you prepare your own meals for the family while you are away. Although, whoever gets the job of doing this ain't getting much of a break! Of course, you can also go self-catering and then go out to eat every night instead. Something that can work really well if you find yourself in a European location where meals are a little cheaper than in the UK. </span></div>

In fact, there is a massive range of options when it comes to accommodation from camping to caravaning. You may even wish to stay in a fancy hotel in the middle of a city? </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 15pt 8pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You also may wish to consider leasing a holiday rental for your family break. In fact, this can work particularly well because you won't be restricted by the set meal times, or lack of space that staying in a hotel as a larger group can put on you. In fact, by leasing an apartment or house, you can get a real 'home away from home' feeling that the kids will surely appreciate. All while getting to explore a new location and take a break as well. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 15pt 8pt 0pt;">
<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Of course, these are not the only accommodation styles that are available to you as a family. You may wish to try something else instead, such as a cruise. In fact, cruises can be very successful choices for families for several reasons. </span></div>

Something that will keep the kids amused all through the day, and so give the parents a rest. Additionally, because they stop off in some of the world's most exciting places and ports, you are only ever a few days away from exploring a new and fascinating city. Something that can provide a great pace to a family holiday, balancing both relaxation and activity. </span></div>

These being a combination of a traditional cruise with the option to customise stays in places of interest.

<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is another consideration that you need to think about when it comes to boosting your family break, and that is how you will travel to arrive at your destination. In fact, even if you are going on a cruise, you will still need to get to the part where your journey begins. </span></div>

<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The options for travel tend to be overland by vehicles such as self-driving a car or on a bus tour or flying by plane.

The thing to remember here is that the more extended and more restrictive your travel option, the more difficult it will be to believe it with the kids. </span></div>

<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Therefore if you have a choice between a long haul plane trip and a shorter drive and ferry crossing, going for the latter is often the best choice. After all, if you self-drive, the kids can get comfy and spread out in the car, and you can stop for a break when needed. Something that means you won't all be exhausted before you have even reached your holiday destination. </span></div>

<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Alternatively, it's always possible to combine the travel option of your trip, with the accommodation. Something you can do by hiring an RV and going </span><a href="https://www.autoeurope.com/travel-blog/8-tips-for-planning-a-family-road-trip-in-the-uk/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">on a road trip</span></a><span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

<span style="color: #103a5a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, another consideration you need to make is where in the world you and your family would like to visit. In fact, the world truly is your oyster! Yes, it can be challenging to navigate long haul flights with younger kids. However, such breaks can be a very educational and horizon-broadening experience for them. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Low self-esteem can affect everything in your life. It can affect how you see yourself. It can affect your perception of how others see you. And it can affect what you do in life, or, as is more likely the case, what you don't do in life.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, let's be honest. Having low self-esteem sucks, as it's not something any of us want. We want to feel confident in our skin. We want to feel confident around others. And we want to have the confidence to live our lives without limitations.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thankfully, we don't have to live with low self-esteem forever. By getting to the root causes of why we lack confidence, we can usually take steps to overcome them. It's easier said than done, we know, but to boost the way we think about ourselves, we really do need to try.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Below, we list some of the root causes of low self-esteem. We also offer a few suggestions to overcome them. Have a read, and if you relate, do what you can to give yourself a more confident outlook in life. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cause #1: Feeling negative about the way we look</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hey, none of us are perfect, right? Even the celebs in the magazines we read have been digitally airbrushed to make them look their best. So, it doesn't matter if you aren't the epitome of heavenly beauty, although we're sure there are some aspects of you that are just fine. However, many of us make it matter, and this is partly because we compare ourselves to others and partly because we feel embarrassed about our imperfections. It might be an issue with reoccurring acne. It could be a broken smile because of gaps in our teeth. And there could be other aspects of ourselves that we don't like. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, what should you do if you relate to this point?</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well, you should stop comparing yourself to others for a start. Remember that everybody is different, so even though somebody else might have particular features that you wish you had, try to think of your best features instead of dwelling on what you don't have. </span><a href="http://www.mookieslife.com/2019/04/how-to-embrace-your-natural-springtime.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Embrace your natural beauty</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and fear not how others look or what they think of you. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Secondly, change what you can if you think it will help your self-confidence. Speak to your doctor about any skin problems you are having. Have </span><a href="https://bestdentistinhouston.com/dentures-richmond-tx/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">comfortable dentures</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> fitted if you are missing any teeth. And if there are any other cosmetic changes you could make for the benefit of yourself, and not for the benefit of others, then consider them. When you are able to look your best, you can feel your best, so do what you can if you are sure your confidence will be lifted as a consequence. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cause #2: Other people</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">People can be so unkind. They can say and do things to us that make us feel poorly about ourselves. A put down here and a snooty glare there can make us wither up inside and feel terrible. Of course, other people are not always the problem. Our low self-esteem can create false perceptions, so with oversensitivity, we can assume other people are belittling us. Sometimes, we also take offence when people don't like or respond to us. We assume that it is something we have done or said to turn them against us. Again, this perception is due to the oversensitivity that can be created by low self-esteem.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well, while it's easier said than done, we know, but try not to take the unkindness of others to heart. There might be people in your life who genuinely do make you feel bad about yourself, but you don't have to let their words or actions hurt you. In fact, it is they who have a problem, as their personalities clearly aren't A-grade! </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Secondly, know that it's okay for you to </span><a href="https://www.bustle.com/articles/169607-11-little-ways-to-stand-up-for-yourself-every-day-no-matter-what" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">stand up for yourself</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. If somebody hurts you, tell them how you feel. Even if they don't make any attempt to apologise, you will feel better for saying something rather than nothing in retaliation.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You should also ditch those people who constantly put you down. Be it a so-called 'friend,' work colleague, or even a neighbour, spend as little time as you can with them. Instead, look for those people who will lift you up and make you feel good about yourself, and spend time with them.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And finally, remember that not everybody will get on with you. You can't please everybody, and you can't make them be your friends. It's a fact of life. So again, find the people you can draw close to, and don't worry about the rest. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mistakes happen! As we said before, none of us are perfect. We can screw up in all kinds of ways, be that in our workplaces, our relationships, and in our attempts to try something new. When mistakes happen, we can start to feel like failures. We hesitate before taking those steps in life that could cause us to fail again. Because we then place limits on ourselves, we can compound those feelings of low self-esteem because we feel terrible about not having more confidence to be better. And we can also suffer from low confidence because of the guilt we feel, especially if our mistakes have impacted on another. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, what can you do if you relate to this point?</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well, action is better than inaction. Rather than let your failings defeat you, you should make attempts to try again. You could take educational and </span><a href="https://sheerluxe.com/2018/08/16/7-self-development-courses-boost-your-career-personal-life" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">personal development courses</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to better yourself, as they might give you the confidence you need. You could also seek advice from others, as with their support, you might be able to overcome those aspects of your life that have caused you to make mistakes.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You should also make amends with others if your mistakes have hurt them. While they might be hesitant to trust you again, doing something to apologise is better than doing nothing. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And finally, rather than dwell on your past mistakes, think about the things you have done well in life instead. By focussing on your good points, you might start to build your confidence levels, and have greater impetus to build on your positives. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, if you suffer from low self-esteem, consider what you might need to do to improve the way you feel. Consider our suggestions, and then look elsewhere online for other advice. You deserve to feel good about yourself, so confront those obstacles that are affecting your confidence levels, and do what you can to eliminate them.</span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Everyone dreams of a magical lifestyle abroad. Maybe you imagine yourself strolling down a Parisian boulevard or drinking the perfect espresso in Rome. Perhaps the dazzling city lights of New York are more up your street or the cool vibes of Melbourne could be tempting. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Wherever you dream about settling down and </span><a href="http://www.mookieslife.com/2019/11/settling-down-abroad-what-are-best.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">whichever city</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> you go for, you have to be prepared for a bit of a culture shock. It doesn’t matter how much research you do or how many holidays you have, actually living in a new place is always going to be different. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, here are a few tips to help you settle in. </span></div>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Be Wary of Homesickness</span></h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Moving to a new area is a good chance to start again, or at least discover a new side to yourself. But beware of changing too much. Completely overhauling your life in a new place can easily lead to homesickness - a craving to go back to what you know, even if it wasn't for you. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To combat homesickness, the best option is to continue with some familiar things and prepare for homesickness. So taking a Firestick with you and set up a VPN might be good so that you can watch TV from home - see </span><a href="https://troypoint.com/best-vpn-for-firestick/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">troypoint.com</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for instructions. Figuring out a way to get in touch with friends and family back home is also really important. </span></div>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Explore Your New Area</span></h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just as you would explore a new city on holiday, you should start to explore your new local area. Going on a walking tour is often a good way to get to know a new city because you will start to learn the routes to various places. However, do be aware that these tours often focus on tourist spots, not necessarily the places you need to find! </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the best ways to get to know a new city is to </span><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-joy-of-being-lost-an-_b_812161" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">allow yourself to get lost</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Simply going for a wander and see where you end up will help you to create a kind of map in your head, connecting the places you usually frequent. Getting lost is also one of the best ways to discover hidden locations such as bars and cafes that tourists rarely visit. </span></div>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Get Involved and Make Friends </span></h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Going out to </span><a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/9-tips-for-making-friends-in-a-new-city-according-to-experts-8750193" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">meet people</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> can be daunting but there are plenty of opportunities in most cities. Going to classes, frequenting the same cafes or bars and getting to know the people around you is a good start. You could also start to build your friendship group by inviting friends of friends. This is actually a great way to meet like-minded people if you are shy because everyone will be pre-vetted! </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Building a new lifestyle won’t happen unless you are willing to put yourself out there and make new friends. It might feel weird to begin with but the more you start to integrate yourself with the local community, the more like home it will feel. But the best advice is to simply take your time to adapt. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A lot of people are taking up the option to sell their gold at present. After all, the value has increased and in the current economic climate, added cash is certainly a bonus. Nevertheless, if you want to make a quick profit then you need to find a credible company to sell your gold to. Thus, there are some key things you need to contemplate when deciding where to sell gold online.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First and foremost, you obviously want to ensure that you get a good price for your gold. Thus, the valuation is highly important. You should get several quotes and compare them against one and other. Never pay for a valuation – it shouldn’t cost you to discover how much your gold is worth. Moreover, when deciding where to sell gold online make sure you go for obligation free valuations. This means you will not be forced to sell your gold to the company in question once they’ve evaluated it.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You also need to consider your situation as well. For example, if you want to sell your gold wedding ring because you are going through a divorce, it is worth speaking to your </span><a href="https://austinkemp.co.uk/contact/divorce-lawyers-and-family-law-solicitors-manchester/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">divorce solicitors</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to determine whether it is going to be better to sell this before or after the divorce proceedings, as this may impact your overall settlement if the ring is of a high value. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Aside from finding a good valuation, you need to make sure that the company has a good reputation and that their level of service is of a high standard. In order to decipher this you should read the reviews that have been left by previous customers. A good company will have these readily available on their website for everyone to read because they will be proud of their feedback. While the Internet presents a lot of money-making opportunities for businesses today, there is no denying that it has also given rise to a number of fake companies that are simply looking to take people’s cash. This is why you need to be extra cautious when you are dealing with any person over the web </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And finally, when deciding where to sell gold you also need to make sure that you are satisfied with how quickly you will receive your money. A lot of the top online companies nowadays promise to release the funds into your bank account within 24 hours of receiving your gold. At the end of the day, you shouldn’t have to wait long to get your cash.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All in all, if you consider the three main areas of contemplation touched upon in this post then you will have no trouble finding the best place to sell your gold online today.</span></div>

Famed for high brow culture, the city of lights, Paris is an ideal city destination to enjoy with the whole family. Even if the cultural side of Paris isn’t what the kids might have in mind they’re sure to enjoy eating roadside crepes, diving into the famous sweet shops, Disneyland Paris and climbing the Eiffel Tower. Paris is a very exciting city with an unbeatable ambience. The museums are kid-friendly, there are fun transportation choices and fantastic food. There is really easy access to the main tourist attraction too which makes it ideal for even the littlest of kids.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a look below at some tips on travel to Paris with kids: <br />
<br />
<b>Things To See And Do </b><br />
<br />
There is plenty of kid-Friendly things to do and see in <a href="http://www.mookieslife.com/2016/01/mookies-7-quick-travel-tips-paris.html">Paris</a>. It’s packed to the brim with museums and although some are more kid-friendly than others, with a little bit of research you’ll know exactly which ones to hit. Try not to force them upon the kids as some adults have been known to. Take two days to explore a place like the <a href="https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwj14qHJ-IjmAhVNtO0KHQpGC50YABAAGgJkZw&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQOD2tJr0JvOrwWBEGdILSpYEn9M7XlV7IWTHKuQrMeWNrrX1YwrLs8gACK1sLaZ-6PVQtwEZFEkWYBsR6q1s4pk&sig=AOD64_0IeLqMQRO_YsWBmXLGWea0zOhhYg&q=&ved=2ahUKEwi2rZrJ-IjmAhVSqHEKHb-vCbEQ0Qx6BAgPEAE&adurl=">Louvre</a>, it’s important to make sure it stays fun for both you and the kids so, take it slow and play it by ear. <br />
<br />
As well as it’s museums Paris has a fair few churches that show off a range of architectural styles. From its Gothic-style churches like Sainte-Chapelle, and the famous Notre Dame Cathedral, that sadly was struck by a devastating fire in April this year, there is plenty to see.<br />
<br />
The Eiffel Tower is always a hit with kids as long as they aren’t afraid of heights, it has three hundred steps, but there are two levels of elevators if you have smaller children with you. The Eiffel Tower even has a special guidebook available to visiting kids. In it, you will find the answers to questions that children may have about the tower. <br />
<br />
<b>Places To Stay In Paris</b><br />
<br />
Whether you chose to rent an apartment or look for <a href="https://www.babybreaks.com/sleep/family-friendly-hotels-paris">Paris hotels for families</a> there is a wide range of choices when it comes to places to stay. Wherever you choose to stay it’s a good idea to make sure it will accommodate a family and isn’t too far from all the places you want to see. If you’re planning on visiting Disney Land Paris you might want to stay a little outside of the main city. <br />
<br />
<b>Outside Paris</b><br />
<br />
On the outskirts of Paris are two completely different attractions that are both are ideal for the kids. You have the Palace of Versailles which is a World Heritage site with amazing outside gardens and mazes and then you have <a href="http://www.disneyholidays.co.uk/disneyland-paris/">Disneyland Paris</a>, which is world-famous for being a magical place to visit with the kids. You will find that the attractions and characters are completely different from its American sister and the music is played in French. Be warned if you don’t want to go to Disneyland as it’s advertised all over Paris city. <br />
<br />
These are just a few of the top tips for travel to Paris with kids there are other things to consider such as travelling there and how you’re going to get around the city. Do you have any other tips that you can share in the comments section below? <br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-f311ac13-7fff-d4a2-0eb9-2f0bce67a5fb" style="font-size: 18.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-c9746278-7fff-cb43-c230-aecf5379057a"><span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><b>Why You Should Consider Adding Lash Extensions to Your Repertoire as a Mobile Beautician</b></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 4pt 0pt 8pt 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">If you are running your own beauty business, then it can be good to sometimes add new things to your menu, and be able to offer your existing clients a more varied service, as well as potentially bring in new people. If you currently do make-up, nails, or hair, or all of the above, then there are various other beauty treatments you can learn how to do, stock up for, and provide. These can mean things like eyebrow shaping with threading, waxing or conventional plucking, pedicures, acrylic nail extensions, and all kinds of other popular treatments you are likely already well aware of the market for. However, one option you may not have considered, as it is still really just starting to catch on as a conventional beauty treatment in some areas, is lash extensions.</span></div>
<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700; text-align: justify;">Why Are Lash Extensions A Good Service To Offer? </span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 4pt 0pt 8pt 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Lash extensions have been popular for at least a decade, but are now really moving from being a special occasion thing or something only the most glam women have, to a fairly normal part of a lot of people's beauty habits. Having lash extensions can mean a better and more defined eye shape and lash line, while also saving the wearer time by meaning they don't have to apply eye make-up every day to have a reasonably made up look. Lash extensions can range from very long, thick </span><a href="https://www.beautylaunchpad.com/eyelashmag/hottest-lash-and-brow-trends-2019" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: navy; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">party lashes</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> that can even feature bright colors or metallic effects, through to very natural lash looks that simply enhance the lashes by making them appear much thicker, longer, and darker, without any mascara. </span></div>
<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700; text-align: justify;">Why Are Lash Extensions Good for Mobile Beauticians?</span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 4pt 0pt 8pt 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">One great thing about lash extensions is that to be able to do them for people at home, you don't need to carry a lot of expensive, heavy tools and kit. The lashes themselves, as you might expect, weigh next to nothing, so you can keep a wide selection in your collection in order to create the perfect look for your client on the fly. Other than that, you only need the special adhesives and basic beauty tools like tweezers. Lash extensions are also great for repeat custom, because they do need to be replaced fairly regularly, and they are great for when somebody wants a new look for a special event.</span></div>

Melbourne<br />
<br />
Australia is a big country, famous for its hot weather and exotic wildlife. And if you’re looking to become an expat for the first time, moving to Melbourne might be the <a href="https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2017/08/16/global-liveability-has-improved-for-the-first-time-in-a-decade">best first step</a> for you! It’s a big city, with lots to do, and that’s just what you want from your first foray into foreign culture. You’ll have access to all kinds of arts and entertainment, and there will be plenty of doctors around if anything goes awry with your health - it’s a traveler’s dream! <br />
<br />
New York City<br />
<br />
The Big Apple. It’s the wonder of many travelers, and it’s only many bucket lists the whole world round. You’ll get to know the infamous subway system, and you’ll learn how to walk fast and keep up the pace; there’s a lot to see, and a lot of people on the streets. Very few people use their own transport here, so if you don’t have a car to take abroad (because that gets pricey too), you’ll fit right in! <br />
<br />
But finding the right <a href="https://physicaladdress.com/new-york-mailing-address/">nyc address</a> can be a bit tricky, of course. It’s quite a high profile, high traffic area, and rent costs can be high. But if you’ve saved up for a 3 or 6 month trip away, you’ll want to splash the cash to stay here - it’s common to have roommates here too, so you’ll definitely be able to mingle with the locals whilst you’re away! <br />
<br />
Tokyo<br />
<br />
Maybe a bit further afield than you were thinking, but Tokyo is a great city for a first time expat. You’ll travel halfway across the world, which is an achievement for any traveler, and there’s always something going on in this city. <br />
<br />
It might be a bit of a cultural shift, and you’ll need to look up the <a href="https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/japan/moving/country-file/culture">social norms</a> before you go, but it won’t be too much trouble for your already impeccable manners! And there’s a great nightlife scene, and all kinds of new experiences for you to get to grips with; ever heard of a capsule hotel? <br />
<br />
Settling down abroad can be scary, but if you want to go, check out these big destinations first. They’re great for first time expats, and you might just find a new home. <br /><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let’s be honest, keeping your kids entertained on the weekend can be difficult. So when faced with the prospect of a week or several weeks off for school holidays, you’ve got a lot of entertainment that needs providing. So here are some suggestions for keeping your kids entertained during school holidays.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 416px; overflow: hidden; width: 624px;"><img height="416" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/6Z3jmFiZXufrjmX1CFwRFwntd9CbLOMOvMOTgB6BYKhyWFsz-wrmuZ_uS45yjdSuaeW6CIh_4TukxxbdmjOetrt77j20PpjJcndbXEOorDtkp6kr1QtB9jxhjRUBFWMgrgZxEFRE" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="624" /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Get Outside</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Times have changed, and nowadays, children can’t just play outside without being watched by their parents. However, it’s still important that your children are getting some fresh air and are playing outside. So make the time to spend an afternoon or morning at a local park or playing area. </span><a href="https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/11-picnic-food-ideas-that-arent-sandwiches/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Take a picnic</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and make a day of it! Get them out of the house and keeping their fitness levels up with a kick-about or playing on some outdoor obstacle courses. It can be a great way of wearing them out too so that you can have the evening to yourself at least.</span></div>
<br /><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 16pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Teach Them Baking</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Being able to cook is a good skill for anyone to have. We all have to do it at some point, and so there’s no reason as to why you can’t start them off early. They’re going to at least get some cooking skills, within the school but you might as well have a few </span><a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/kids-baking" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">baking sessions</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> over the school holidays in preparation. It’s a basic lifestyle that everyone needs and you want to help give them a good relationship with food and to know how to cook their own food from scratch, rather than using all processed ingredients in their meals.</span></div>
<br /><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 16pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Get Arty With Hand Painting</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It may be a little messy and every parent’s worst nightmare, but painting and using colourful pens and crayons are good to help with your child’s creativity as they get older. Set up a station outside with a table and cover this table with plenty of newspaper to keep it protected. Have anything that’s needed to clean messy hands afterwards outside also to avoid bringing in anything or anyone that has paint on them. Once they’ve had fun, peg them up to dry and then perhaps frame them or stick them on the fridge to show them that they’ve got something to look back on.</span></div>

Too much time spent in front of a screen can hurt their eyes, and they need a rest every so often. So how about you get traditional and dig out the old board games that you used to play as a child. It’s a great way of having a family night in and encouraging a little bit of a competitive drive. It also helps keep the board game era alive and thriving as it competes with the popularity of </span><a href="http://www.mookieslife.com/2019/05/staying-in-touch-with-friends-when-you.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the digital world</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></div>

<br />
For many people, visiting New York City is up at the top of their travel bucket list. Perhaps you are fascinated by the bright lights, the iconic Broadway, and all the amazing things to see and do in the Big Apple. But for many people who visit NYC for the first time, it’s not uncommon to have no idea what you’re doing. Getting your bearings can be difficult, particularly if you’re not used to city life. I have put together some top tips for visiting New York for the first time, whether you want to learn more about saving money, getting around or finding the best things to do.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Avoid the Tourist Traps:</span></b><br />
Times Square and Rockefeller Centre May be iconic, but avoid staying here as they are also massive tourist traps. Sure, go and visit them and take a picture for your Instagram feed - the giant ice rink or the giant, flashing billboards at Times Square make ideal backdrops - but staying here is bound to cost you more than anywhere else in the city. Explore less touristy areas if you want to find out more about what the city has to offer.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Get a City Pass:</b></span><br />
If you’re planning on staying in New York for a few days and want to see as much as you can while getting the best value for money, then <a href="https://clubthrifty.com/new-york-citypass-review/">getting a Citypass</a> is a great idea. You can sign up for yours and have it delivered to your home in time for your trip. And the pass will give you access to most of the main attractions in the city, including the 9/11 Memorial, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Top of the Rock Observation Deck, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and much more.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Take Advice from the Locals:</b></span><br />
When it comes to finding places to eat, then the best people to ask are the locals - New Yorkers are bound to know where to avoid, and where to find the best food at reasonable prices. Little Italy, for example, might be raved about outside of the city but in reality, according to the locals, it’s nothing more than a couple of streets lined with expensive souvenir shops and other costly tourist traps, plus a couple of restaurants selling mediocre Italian food. If you want to taste the best Italian food in NYC, then head to Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, where there are scrumptious pizza, cannolis and rice balls on offer from the various Italian shops and street food carts lining the street.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Research the Subway:</b></span><br />
The NY subway is one of the best ways to get around the city, so it’s no surprise that it’s busy pretty much all the time. So, before you go, the best thing to do is do some research on the subway so that you know what you are doing - this will save you getting confused and frustrated and help you stay out of the way of others as you get around the city. One of the fastest ways to annoy New Yorkers is by blocking the turnstiles, stairways or the entrance to the train - so keep it moving. And, make sure that you know how to use your <a href="http://www.nycsubwayguide.com/subway/metrocard.aspx">MetroCard</a> and have it ready to swipe when using the subway. And while it might seem tempting, don’t get in an empty subway car - your nose will thank you for it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Understand the Walking Etiquette:</b></span><br />
Walking is one of the primary ways of getting around the Big Apple, so it’s no surprise that many refer to the sidewalk in NYC as the highway or freeway. It’s important that you keep the traffic moving when walking in New York, otherwise, you could become an obstacle to others fairly quickly. Make sure that you don’t end up causing a sidewalk traffic jam. If you need to stop to figure out directions, take in the sights around you, or if you’re strolling along slowly, then it’s best to keep to the side so that others can easily get past you. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Avoid Driving:</b></span><br />
There’s really no reason to drive in NYC, with most attractions in walking distance and the subway covering pretty much everywhere you might want to visit in the city. As tempting as it might seem to hire a car when you arrive at the airport, you’ll quickly regret it as the traffic is horrendous and there’s nowhere to park. The same goes for taxis - you might want to ride in an iconic yellow NYC taxi, but the truth is that the experience most likely won’t be the same as what you are used to seeing in movies and TV shows. Typically, NYC taxis are fairly pricey compared to other ways of getting around the city, and thanks to the traffic, it’s usually faster to get to your destination on foot. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Dress Comfortably:</b></span><br />
Chances are you’ll be spending a lot of time walking around the city, so make sure that you are dressed comfortably. And, since you’re likely to be walking outside a lot, then make sure that you are dressed for the weather. It can get fairly cold in NYC during the winter, so if you’re visiting at this time of year, make sure to wrap up in a warm coat, hat, scarf and gloves. If you want to fit in, then dress comfortably but stylish - and make sure that you’re wearing a pair of comfortable shoes that can take all the walking you’re going to do. Boots, flats, loafers, oxfords or All-Stars are usually a better option than standard sneakers. And, try to avoid wearing your souvenirs in public - your ‘I Heart NY’ sweater will look a lot cooler outside of the city.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Avoid Chain Restaurants:</b></span><br />
New York is full of chain or themed restaurants, but these aren’t the best places to spend your money. The Big Apple is home to hundreds of incredible, independent restaurants and diners that aren’t Red Lobster or Olive Garden, so unless you’re coming from a completely different country and have never eaten at any of these places before, then you won’t regret skipping them in favour of something new. Just outside of Times Square, Hell’s Kitchen has an amazing range of food and drink on offer, and if you enjoy curry then Little India is the place to be.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Save Money Getting There:</b></span><br />
Last but not least, there are many ways to save money on getting to your NYC destination. If you are flying, then check out the flights to New York on a site like Fly Porter – found at <a href="https://www.flyporter.com/en-ca/book-flights/where-we-fly/usa/new-york">https://www.flyporter.com/en-ca/book-flights/where-we-fly/usa/new-york</a>. Porter Airlines offer fast check-in, easy gate access and a VIP service all at reasonable prices.<br />
Keep your eye out for the best deals. You can also save money on your flight by flying into a smaller New York airport rather than the main hub, JFK. And, don’t forget to check out times for trains into the city from the airport so that you can save on a pricey cab ride - getting a cab after landing could set you back upwards of $30.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you’re planning to visit New York for the first time, then have fun! There’s so much to see and do, so keep this handy guide with you to make sure that you are able to make the most of your trip.<br />

Hello everyone.
<br />
<div id="C9B1949C-1422-4AD4-8AC443390A05C59C-2D97AE2C-7F2A-40ED-8E3916E127773BC7">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm currently on holiday in Albania and since I only brought hand luggage it was limited how much swimwear I could bring. So before I left I considered a few factors that was important to me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Functionality. If it's practical and easy to move in. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Support. If it give my huge busy good support and doesn't risk the dreaded "my boobs are floating out of the top" incidents. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Colours and design. I wanted different colours and patterns so I could mix it with beach wear I brought. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With this in mind I chose these three styles. </div>

<br />
There are often arguments that technology is ruining our lives. However, there are a number of ways it has improved them and even more ways you can embrace it and let it improve your life experience further. From the ease of online shopping to talking to friends and family who have moved to the other side of the world to dating and meeting your partner, technology has changed the way we live and how we do things. But what else can you use it for to make sure you're living your best life?<br />
<br />
Technology Can Improve Your Health<br />
While many people will argue with this statement because there are more kids playing computer games and adults slumped in front of the TV than ever before, technology has offered so much more than that in terms of our health. You can monitor your calories and get help losing weight with apps such as <a href="https://www.myfitnesspal.com/">My Fitness Pal</a> and Lose It. Your phone will automatically count your steps without you even thinking about it meaning that if you're trying to get your 10,000 quotas, it can be easy to do as you'll know where you're up to and how many more you have to do. There are apps such as Couch 2 5K, which can help you ease into running and train you in how to do it so that you can eventually run a 5K. Other apps work with Fitbits and other fitness trackers and can give you a whole load of information about your activity and health that you never had before. This can be extremely motivational, and as they say, knowledge is power, so once you know what you're doing and where you're at, you can start doing something about it. There is also a tonne of communities online who can help to motivate you, give you tips on what you're doing and help you to improve. You can connect with others, whether it's a professional personal trainer who can help you online and share tips and stories with people doing the same diet as you. Finally, there is also the benefit of Doctor Google who you are advised by professionals against using, but the internet does mean that you can check your symptoms and work out whether it is something you need to go to the doctors about or something you don't need to worry about. The internet increases awareness of illnesses and generally gives people more knowledge. You can find out simple things from information about sleep to what a specific skin pattern means. <br />
<br />
Technology Can Save You Money<br />
It might be expensive to buy some of the equipment outright, but overall technology has meant that you can save a lot of money. For example, <a href="https://uk.pcmag.com/smart-home/85/the-best-smart-home-devices">Smart Home Electronics</a> means that your life is more comfortable, but also your home is greener, and your utility bills will be less. There are also now a number of apps which can help you to save money and budget, effectively manage your finances so you can see what's going where and what you need to spend and how your money is frittering away. Then there's the shopping, while it has made life a lot easier and meant that we don't have to go shopping any more physically, online shopping has meant that you can get things a lot cheaper, there are more discounts available, voucher codes and subscriptions online. <br />
<br />
Technology Can Save You Time<br />
As well as saving you money, it can save you a lot of time too. Whether this is in your personal life and is a case of shopping online or perhaps in your business and it's productivity software you've got or need which gets everything in one place, means that your staff can see everything in one place and they can all communicate in the one place. <br />
<br />
Technology Can Protect You<br />
Some people think that technology has meant that the world is more dangerous, with online grooming, easy access to strangers and easy access to disturbing content and videos and cybercrime. However, technology has also meant that you can keep track of where your kids are by their phones, keep tabs on who they're talking to and what they're saying. Security technology for the home and businesses and even having to put your fingerprint in your phone have meant that it's far more difficult for thieves to get hold of your information. For example, something like <a href="https://www.jumio.com/kyc-compliance/" rel="">Jumio's Netverify can protect you from complex frauds</a> and smart home technology can mean that you can check your home while you're away on holiday and even get a notification when your doorbell rings. <br />
<br />
Technology Can Improve Relationships<br />
As long as you're not being unsociable and sat on your phone while having dinner with your partner, then technology can be brilliant for relationships with family and friends. It has meant that you can keep in touch with people all over the world, <a href="https://www.firstmet.com/">online dating</a> has made life easier to meet potential partners, go dating and even meet friends who are into the same hobbies as you are. There's video calls which are great for being able to see people but emails as well for getting a message across instantly. Sharing photos, arranging nights out and finding people from your past are some other examples of how technology can and has improved relationships. <br />

<br />
In our comfortable lives, we often forget that we would be reduced back to the normal way of things if the power went out. We’d have to cook our food somehow without an oven or cooker, we’d have to take a bath by boiling water into a bucket, and we’d have to eat food that’s completely fresh. Thankfully, power outages are really rare. What’s more common than power outages however is the internet cutting out. Companies have issues all the time and although your internet might not have gone out, the same company you employ probably has another area that did. This can also happen when internet providers are updating their backend, which happens almost monthly. Usually, this goes down without a hiccup but every now and then for some odd reason, the <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/article/341603/12-tips-to-troubleshoot-your-internet-connection">internet does cut out</a>. So how can you still keep in contact without any WiFi at home?<br />
<br />

<br />
Get downloading quick<br />
<br />
One of the best apps on your smartphone for quick messaging <a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/7-messaging-apps-you-need-to-have-on-your-phone-if-youre-going-abroad-80724">is FireChat</a>. It's a simple app to understand and use, which is why it's also so popular. For one thing, FireChat has a bright orange logo so you can spot it easily in among all your other apps. The key is, your friends need to download the app as well which is a highly likely prospect. With over 1 billion downloads, FireChat is by far the most popular free messaging service that is peer to peer. As long as you have an account and the app installed you can text chat with each other without having to use the internet. All you need to do is create a group first, this will then be open to anyone who knows how to look for it. Once the friends you want are in the group, it will stay open indefinitely and only close if you manually do so.<br />

<br />
A working brand ecosystem<br />
<br />
We all know Apple for<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/christinemoorman/2018/01/12/why-apple-is-still-a-great-marketer-and-what-you-can-learn/#4a9518e815bd"> their brand ecosystem</a>, whereby once you’re in you need to stay in because everything you use is within the sphere. Things like iCloud, iPhone, iPod, AirPods and more are all intertwined. Everything you need is in one place which has been remarkably successful for Apple as a company. However one thing is for sure, there’s more you can do with such a brand network. With iMessage, you can send emails in the form of SMS. This way you can talk to your friends even when you have absolutely no connection whatsoever. This is <a href="https://setapp.com/how-to/set-up-imessage-on-mac">how to connect iMessage to Mac</a> using the SetApp suite. All your apps are in one singular place but you can also download any kind of new app and add it to your library. The iMessage app is just one of many that have purposefully been designed for Mac users. Many need to keep up with their business duties so now you can send emails in the way of SMS and MMS for pictures.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's rare that your internet will cut out for too long but just in case you don’t want to remain the dark ages for too long you can use these methods to stay in contact <a href="http://www.mookieslife.com/2019/01/holiday-planning-when-you-have-picky.html">with friends</a> even without a connection. <br />

There’s no experience quite like being able to wake up in a foreign land, ready for an exciting adventure ahead. And every time you come home, it’s like you see the world with a new set of eyes. Travelling is definitely a great way to shake up your daily routine, and if you’re looking for more places to add to your bucket list, have a look at some destinations below and book the trip of your life. <br />
<br />
<strong>Japan</strong><br />
<br />
Named by premier travel site <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/destination-of-the-year-2018-japan">Travel + Leisure</a> as the best travel destination of 2018, Japan is a country where cultural extremes come to play together. Its capital Tokyo is full of neon-lit streets and high-tech innovations — it’s the stuff of science fiction novels. Opposite to that is rural areas like Kobe and Kyoto, which boast oriental beauty that are quintessentially Japanese. The Japanese are also known to be one of the most respectful cultures in the world, so you’re sure to feel welcome. <br />

<br />
<strong>Morocco</strong> <br />
<br />
In Morocco, there’s no shortage of variety. From the rainbow-coloured buildings to the rich spice markets and sand dunes, you’ll never run out of things to discover. According to blogger <a href="https://www.beckybedbug.com/2018/07/best-destinations-for-plus-size-travellers.html">Becky Bedbug</a>, plus size travellers often write off Morocco because of the heat and potential for “chub rub,” but it’s a place where all sizes are accepted with open arms. “Bigger women are massively appreciated,” it explains. “It [was] nice to know I could walk through a city and be admired rather than looked down on because of my size.”<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>India</strong><br />
<br />
As the world’s seventh largest country, India is a melting pot of cultures. It spans from the towering mountains of the Himalayas, all the way to the sacred Ganges and the lush greenery of Kerala. And of course, who could forget the famed <a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/the-taj-mahal-1434536">Taj Mahal</a>? The iconic mausoleum even inspired its own Hollywood film. Aptly called <em>Taj</em>, the 2008 film is said to be a South Asian take on <em>Romeo and Juliet</em>. On the other hand, gaming platform <a href="https://www.slingo.com/">Slingo</a> also draws inspiration from this fascinating country in its Indian-themed games like <em>Nirvana</em> and <em>Bollywood Story</em>. These give gaming enthusiasts from across the globe an idea of what the country is like, hopefully inspiring everyone to go beyond the stereotypes and witness its wonder in person.<br />

<br />
<strong>Norway</strong><br />
<br />
Gaping fjords, majestic snowy peaks, picturesque rivers, and pristine skies — Norway has it all. This Scandinavian country is also known for playing host to the most priceless show on Earth, the Aurora Borealis. This visual phenomenon can be seen in <a href="http://www.mookieslife.com/2013/12/weekend-blues.html">Lofoten</a> (where I grew up and spent my first 18 years on this planet), which rests right beneath the auroral oval. Apart from that, the Nordic country is also home to some amazing wildlife, like polar bears, elks, and whales.<br />

The Bahamas has long been the poster child for the ultimate beach getaway. With crystal clear waters and its perpetual summer weather, it’s a destination where you can let go of all your city woes. But even if people live in bikinis and swimming shorts, plus size holidaymakers have nothing to worry about. <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/bahamas-plus-size-resort/index.html">The Resort</a> is a welcome addition to the islands and is specially designed to accommodate plus-size guests. <br />

We take a look at what to watch out for and what to avoid:</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You’re likely to be facing a choice that thousands of renters and buyers before you have faced over many years and that’s the question of budget over location. Sure you could get a great size apartment, for a great price but if it’s miles away from where you live, work or hangout then is having your dream home worth the hassle of a longer than necessary commute?</span></div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well, the answer is that no, it probably isn’t. As a rule of thumb, though certainly not set in stone, you should generally prioritise where you want to live over the type of property you live in. In reality there is often a grey area with most buyers or renters able to find at least one property they can live with in an area they love.</span></div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So what should your dream location look like? It might be that you love the nightlife and general ambience of your preferred area. The reason might be altogether more practical with a shorter commute to work or closer proximity to friends, family or partner. Whatever the reason, it should be practical as much as idealized otherwise the cracks will begin to show pretty quickly.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you’re looking to rent then this is going to be of a key concern for you. Aside from your monthly bills for rent and utilities, you’re going to need to find out if your apartment carries with it extra maintenance charges and how much your bills are going to mount up to. Check out if there are parking charges or other hidden items.</span></div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When it comes to buying an apartment the process can feel a lot more complex than buying a house. The reasons are generally tied up again with maintenance and who is responsible for what inside and outside the building. It is essential that are fully aware of what you are responsible for, in terms of repair work, before you sign on the dotted line. Finally, you’ll need to check if there any scheduled major works taking place because even if you’re in your apartment for a matter of days, you could be expected to take on part of the cost of a big repair or investment job.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This really is the key area for apartment buying, once you have that clear in your mind it’s just a case of looking out for the more general issues that can come along with any apartment.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Everything has the ability to look better on paper than it does in reality and the same is definitely true of property. A suntrap balcony can easily turn into a small outside space hemmed in by industrial buildings or worse being overlooked by far-too-close neighbouring properties, affording you nothing in the way of privacy.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Think about the position of your living space. Will you catch the sun? When, and does that matter to you? If you’re looking at properties sandwiched between a top and bottom floor you’ll need to consider noise; noise you make and noise you’ll hear above you. Noisy neighbours or a complaining lower floor resident might offset the benefit you might receive in retaining more warmth being in the middle.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The rest of our checklist would apply to house or apartment but are still important. Check that windows are sound and free from cracking paint. Make sure they open and close properly and the keys are available and will come with the property.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Take a look at power points and make sure there are no dangling wires anywhere and that they are also free from cracks. You’ll also need to have an inspection of the </span><a href="https://www.plumbforcedirect.co.uk/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">plumbing</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and electricity, two major system that, if not functioning correctly, can make a serious dent in your budget.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If the apartment isn’t quite to </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">your taste</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, do you have the necessary skills to redecorate? Could you live with it in the short term, decorating one room at a time, or would you need to have it completely repainted before you move in? These questions might seem straightforward but when faced with a well-staged apartment viewing, it can be hard to see the obvious flaws. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your ideal apartment is out there somewhere but like every major decision in life, you mustn’t rush into it. You may think you know the area well but take a walk around to make sure you know where the nearest convenience store is, the transport links and the atm.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Make sure you look out for any hidden charges, for planned works and for all the little details that might ultimately cost you money in the long run. As boring as it sounds make a decision with your head and not your heart for your perfect home.</span></div>
