How To Save Money When Buying Shoes

July 7th, 2008 by greatyarmouth65qx

If you’re trying to save money on shoes, you’re not alone. Many people admit to having a penchant for shoe shopping and, given that designer shoes can cost hundreds of dollars, it’s definitely not a cheap habit.

Saving money on shoes boils down to making small changes in how you shop and where you shop. If you can adjust the way that you shop and the styles that you shop for, you’ll be able to save a lot of money.

The first strategy is to stick to classic shoe styles. It may be fun to pick up the latest trends, but, in a season or two, your shoes are going to look old and tired. If you are going to spend a good bit of money on your shoes, make sure that they will be usable for a while. Choosing shoes that are classic and stylish will let you get more bang for your buck.

Following this same line of thinking, stick to neutral tones. Matching your shoes with every shade of clothing that you own is a sure way to deplete your shoe budget. Pick three to five colors that will coordinate with the majority of your clothing. Obviously, black and brown will be two of those shades. You’ll also want to add white into your equation, and a few accent colors. Once you select your colors, don’t purchase anything that is outside of that color palette.

It may sound ironic, but one of the best ways to save money on shoes is to spend more on each pair. If you purchase good quality shoes that will last you several years, you’ll actually end up saving money in the long run. For example, $30 pumps will wear out in just one season, meaning that you’ll be spending $120 a year for just one type of shoe. On the other hand, if you spend $200 on a pair of shoes that lasts you 5 years, you’re only spending $50 a year.

When you spend money on your shoes, it’s important to keep them in good condition. Get to know your local shoe repair store and take your shoes in on a regular basis to repair wear and tear. This will keep your shoes lasting even longer.

You can also save money by carefully selecting where you shop for shoes. You can buy the same designer pair of shoes for much less by looking on an auction site, searching in the online classified ads (such as Craiglist.org) or shopping at designer discount stores in your local area. You can also save a bundle by having a coupon code for an online shoe retailer. It’s not uncommon to find shoes marked down as much as 65 percent online and coupon codes can save you even more. Several of the big online shoe retailers offer free overnight shipping and free return shipping, if you need to send the selection back. If you know exactly what you want, and you are willing to shop around to find it, you’ll be able to save on your shoes.

Finally, shopping at the right time of year can also save you even more on shoes. For example, instead of purchasing spring shoes right when the season hits wait a few months and buy when prices begin to drop. Even better yet, wait until the clearance sales at the end of the season and purchase shoes for the following year.

Your Wild and Crazy Side with Zombie Contact Lenses

July 1st, 2008 by greatyarmouth65qx

Zombie contact lenses are a whole new concept in the contact lens industry. Also known as zombie whiteout or zombie special effect contact lenses, they are perfect for a theme party that calls for something scary or for a Halloween fright night get together. Many people who work in theatre as well as in films utilize zombie contact lenses on a regular basis to change their appearance.

Zombie contact lenses make the eyes appear completely white except for the black dot in the middle. Too scary for some but just right if the occasion calls for spooky or out of this world outrageous. Zombie whiteouts are sure to be an attention grabber and a conversation piece.

Zombie contact lenses, just like any other kind of contacts must be fitted to your eyes properly to ensure comfort so visiting an accredited eye doctor is a must. Zombie whiteouts are available both for contact lens wearers who require a prescription for vision correction as well as for those who don’t.

Keep in mind that eye infections are always a health concern when you wear any type of contact, regardless of whether you wear ordinary contact lenses on a regular basis or occasionally wear ones such as zombie white-outs for fun. Proper hygiene in regards to cleaning and disinfecting of contact lenses is a must. This point cannot be stressed enough.

Many big name contact lens companies such as CIBA Vision and CooperVision carry what they term as “WildEyes” or “Crazy Lenses.” Zombie whiteout contact lenses would fall under these categories. If you choose to search for zombie contact lenses on the Internet keep in mind that they are often also referred to as theatrical or costume contact lenses.

How to Care For Your Designer Handbag

June 29th, 2008 by greatyarmouth65qx

Whether your designer handbag is a Louis Vuitton, a Gucci, or any other designer, it is important to take proper care of it. Proper care will give you many years of beauty and use in return.

Most leather designer bags are not treated. This allows the bags to age gracefully and with the character expected from a designer bag, making them distinct and unique. Keep your bag away from makeup, food, or any other oil based product which can stain. When you are not using your bag, store it in a protective cloth container.

The very first thing you should do is treat your handbag with a leather protector to prevent stains from setting in. No matter how careful you are, at some point your likely to leave a mark on it and the leather protection will not allow it to soak in so you???ll be able to more easily remove it.

What to do if you get a stain. Here???s some helpful tips worth trying.

Cleaning leather can be a bit difficult. Leather is rugged and lasts a long time but it does stain quite easily. Depending on the type of leather and the finish, will depend on the cleaning method used.

If a handbag is tanned, and pigmented you can try to wipe the stain with a soft damp clothe. If this doesn???t work, try a leather cleaner specifically made for the type of leather you have. Follow the directions carefully. Once the spot has been removed it is a good idea to re-condition the leather to restore the natural luster. Always test a leather product in inconspicuous spot before applying to your entire handbag.

If the leather has become discolored there are leather products on the market that can help restore color. Try to match the product as close as possible to the natural color of your handbag.

If your not sure, we would recommend you take it to a professional leather cleaner who will have the expertise to remove the stain.

The Secret to Better Media Coverage for Your Nonprofit

June 12th, 2008 by greatyarmouth65qx

Many of nonprofit communicators see media coverage (a.k.a. earned media, vs. advertising or paid media) as a cost-effective means of marketing. Here’s what it takes to make your press releases really work for you:

1. Press releases are just one part of your earned media work

Press releases are important but remember, the release is just one step in your campaign to secure media coverage. Most important is that your media efforts are fully integrated into your marketing and communications plan, timetable, and budget. Media strategies should be selected only when they will help reach a specified communications objective for one or more target audiences. Messages and ‘look and feel’ should be consistent for EACH AUDIENCE throughout all strategies and campaigns, including media.

The success of your media campaign comes from media relations - your cultivation of strong relationships with the carefully-selected journalists and editors you want to cover your organization. Your goal is to create an ongoing dialogue between a news outlet and your spokespeople in an effort to have your organization discussed in a positive manner in a publication or broadcast.

Once you’ve developed a current press list, begin by identifying the top ten media outlets that you’d like to see cover your news. Make sure you target the right person in each outlet and introduce yourself and your organization, inviting reporters for a site visit or special event or arranging interviews with leaders. Make sure to keep in touch to learn what kind of stories these reporters are looking for and shape your news to provide them with what they need. Although relationship-building is a long and labor intensive process, media relations is the only way to get good media coverage.

2. Shape press releases that grab reporters’ attention Once relationship building is underway, how do you shape releases that engage reporters? Here are some musts:

  • Be judicious about when you craft a release, doing so only for significant developments. Make sure that you’re covering hard news for the most part as soft news items or features don’t have the same urgency. Send hard news releases to news editors;features releases to feature editors.
  • Establish your organization and leadership as experts in your field. Your goal is to generate incoming press calls seeking insights on the field and issues, as well as to place your stories. Consider listing your experts with ProfNet which links reporters and expert sources. http://www.profnet.com
  • Sharpen your messages. Develop three or four core points that you want to communicate and stick to these in the release and interviews. Also, make sure you hone a brief (four-twelve words) description of your organization and use it consistently throughout all of your marketing and communications materials.

Remember to make it easy for the press:

  • Structure releases so that they can be digested at a glance, printed on a recognizable letterhead, including a clear headline, a one-sentence sub-head that clarifies its importance (if necessary), and crisp, succinct copy with quotes from relevant leaders and experts.
  • Write releases so that the copy can be cut-and- pasted by interested journalists (and more likely that your news will be picked up). Style should be fairly standard for easy extraction.
  • In every release, include a release date and clear contact information at top and an About’ paragraph (following the release body) detailing key information about your organization.
  • Make sure that you know how each recipient prefers to receive releases (email, fax, carrier pigeon) and stick to that preference. Nothing is more frustrating than a huge release distribution that generates no interest.
  • Join the right wire service(s) to supplement your distribution and ensure that your releases get into news retrieval databases. Options include PR Newswire and Ascribe.

3. Follow-up, follow-up, follow-up

There is nothing more important than following up on your press releases. Journalists receive stacks of releases and contacts from folks wanting to place news. It’s your relationships and your follow-up calls that generate interviews and story placement. Ideally, you’ll work with your press contacts to shape feature releases to their needs prior to distribution.

In-house or outsource?

Although media responsibilities are frequently outsourced to an agency or consultant(s), that’s not a must. If you’re just initiating your media effort, you might want to outsource strategic media planning including special events and news conferences (based on your organizational and communications goals for the year) and press list and press release template development. If possible,it’s best for a staff person to develop relationships with key media contacts. You and your colleagues are the subject experts and must be prepared to work directly with the press to ensure powerful, accurate coverage.

Whatever approach you take, never release all control and involvement of your earned media effort. You’ll generate the most coverage, and the greatest results, when you plan in the context of your overall marketing and communications agenda, review results, and revise accordingly.

Politics in Fashion?

June 4th, 2008 by greatyarmouth65qx

Everybody knows that clothes could make or break the woman…or man. From the tailored work wear to the glamorous evening wear to the hospital scrub suits, clothes are able to tell a story of the person wearing them - who they are and where they are headed.

Even after a typical workday, what we ultimately choose to wear stills gives a reflection of our personalities. From sweat suits to wet suits, the clothes we wear are meant not only to be functional, but also to be fashionable.

Clothes are able to tell onlookers what the person wearing it is like and how he or she spends his or her time. Sports franchise logos are usually displayed on Main Street America. Shirts printed with famous film, music and television icons are present everywhere. Clothes are obviously great media of advertisements and messages and people from all walks of life have begun to realize that we have the responsibility of choosing which printed shirts we will wear, if we decide to wear them, at all.

Today, more than ever, politics have entered the fashion scene. Blatant political slogans and phrases have become more and more prevalent on the shirts of people than car bumpers. Some articles of clothing have actually advertised some candidates and political parties and have actually been purchased by some individuals. However, are there any options for those who want to make their agenda a bit subtle? There are, with the union of clothing and socially conscious art. Some clothing retailers, who are less political and more fashionable, have designed pieces, which display the balance of the medium and the message.

Making use of art as the means of exchange and clothes as the canvas, these clothiers are supplying people with a way to express themselves in fact and in figure. Is there a better way for entrepreneurs and business owners to be able to meet the public demands, which is concentrated on reflecting their belief in style and substance?

Is Your Baby Crying Because YOU Are Stressed?

June 2nd, 2008 by greatyarmouth65qx

Of course we all know that babies cry when they are physically uncomfortable, like when they’re hungry or need a diaper change. But what about emotions like worry, sadness, anger, boredom or self-pity? No, babies don’t experience these types of emotions… yet. When a baby comes into the world they are bright, alive and in total amazement. They are completely content and satisfied with their existence.

So if they aren’t born with these emotions they must learn them… but how? No parent consciously sets out to teach their baby to be sad, angry or anxious!

Most new parents don’t realize just how much they impact their babies with their own emotions. Plus everyone else in the baby’s environment impacts them as well. Babies are like sponges taking in information all the time. Their own emotional response system is not developed until about the age of 18 months. So you can think of them like little mirrors â?”- mostly just reflecting the emotions around them.

Another good analogy is to think of babies like little radio receivers and everyone around them as a radio station transmitter. Babies simply tune in and “play” whatever the people nearby are “broadcasting”.

I raised six babies and observed this often. I learned that whenever I got emotional and stressed, my baby always started to cry! When each of my babies was quite small, I would often take them with me to business meetings. They would usually be sleeping soundly, or contentedly awake. But the moment the meeting got tense, the moment it got a bit rough for me, my baby immediately started crying loudly!

I have often found that parents who complain about their baby not being able to fall asleep (excluding a medical problem) show a similar pattern. They are insecure about what they are doing and already afraid that the baby might not go to sleep. So before even starting the task at hand, they are already stressed. This emotion gets picked up by the baby who then responds to mom’s stress with crying — this stresses mom even more, and so on. You can see the vicious circle forming!

The remedy is to start paying more attention to what emotions you are teaching your baby â?”- what emotions you are transmitting to your new little “radio”. Obviously, you should always first make sure your baby’s physical needs are met. But once you’re sure they are, take a moment to “check in” with your own self to see what you are feeling. Are you feeling stressed, irritable, or angry at someone else and are replaying it over and over in your mind? Are you feeling sad, worried or sorry for yourself?

If so, here’s some hints on how to step out of this emotional endless loop…

** First, this simple exercise of awareness is often enough to break the unconscious cycle. When you just step back and notice the emotion, instead of being immersed in the emotion, it will often evaporate by itself.

** Take a break! Do something that is fun for you and come back to your baby refreshed. Even a small break will do wonders. You’ll see how dramatically things will change when you do this.

** Give yourself permission to make mistakes — you will anyhow! Whenever you feel yourself getting stressed or emotional, relax! Just remember the most precious and important gift you have to give your baby is your unconditional love.

** Drop the schedule for a day and just love and appreciate your baby.

** Accept assistance from others when needed. You don’t have to do it all yourself!

And of course, always remember to have fun!

A Natural Crib Mattress Gives a Better Start

May 5th, 2008 by greatyarmouth65qx

Starting off the healthiest life for a new baby takes a lot of work, determination, and research. Itâ??s important to have a crib, car seat, and even stroller that meet the safety standards of the industry. But a healthy start goes beyond the nuts and bolts of the necessities. Investing in a natural crib mattress could be some of the best money spent for the new life you are now responsible for guiding.

A natural crib mattress is free of all traces of the toxic chemicals used for pest control and fertilizer when the fibers are growing. It is free of all the harmful dies and solutions that are often added during the manufacturing process. Choosing a natural crib mattress ensures your baby the toxin free sleep that you desire for him. And since babies spend a large amount of their day sleeping, it will give him the best start to a bright future.

The move towards things organic has been on the rise over the last few years. Part of the movement is out of concern for the environment and what the chemicals are doing to the planet. Most of the movement is from people who want a healthier lifestyle for themselves and their families.

Even with the rise in popularity of organic products, linens and clothing are only beginning to make their mark. Finding a natural crib mattress may not be as easy as just going to the local retail store. Fortunately, a determined parent can find a natural crib mattress at numerous sites online. It may take a little time to find and it may cost a bit more than the synthetic products available at the MegaStore, but the investments you make today will offer your new baby a great beginning. A natural crib mattress will bring comfort to you both, so take some time to look into one today.

Kathryn Lang is a freelance writer covering environmental issues and especially the recycling industry. She has written various articles on natural crib mattress and regularly contributes to the Fair Home magazine on recycling help issues.
