Throw a Halloween Party for Adults |
|
Why should kids have all the fun on Halloween? Get your friends together to help celebrate the holiday, and be sure to give prizes for the most imaginative costumes and makeup. - Plan your party. If you wish, choose a theme. (See tips below.)
- Make a list of people you want to invite.
- Send invitations noting the theme and whether or not guests should wear costumes.
- Decorate with anything from crepe paper streamers and balloons to a full-fledged house of horrors. Get small plates, forks and napkins in Halloween colors.
- Play one or two short games such as bobbing for apples, musical chairs or charades with a Halloween theme. Or get into a Halloween mood with a Ouija board or tarot card readings.
6.Provide finger foods such as cheese and crackers, popcorn, pretzels, cocktail wieners or meatballs, veggies and dip, deviled eggs, finger sandwiches or mini-quiches. Offer drinks such as "Nuclear Waste," made with one shot blue curacao mixed with orange juice and vodka. Or, mix your favorite alcoholic punch and add an eerie cast to the brew with food coloring. Talk. Most adults like to have some time to visit and talk, so try not to fill the whole night with planned activities.

The shy woman's guide to dating |
|
 Dating can be an absolute nightmare for shy people. You want to meet the right person, but you're too scared to do anything about it. Sticking out one's hand and looking another person in the eye -- can be terrifying. The brain locks up as you scramble to think of something relevant to say. You fall apart as soon as you're asked what you do for a living. You stammer.
The heat rises in your face and under your arms. You're suddenly incapable of forming a grammatical sentence. You think to yourself, "Why would anyone care about me? I'm really not that interesting!" |

Finding the Right Swimming Suit for Yourself |
|
 Your holiday is booked and you are eagerly awaiting the moment when you can let down your hair and forget the stresses of daily life as you relax on the beach. But which suit would highlight your curve?
PEARS If your problem areas are thighs and tummy, then you want a swimsuit that draws attention to your upper body. Try bold prints like florals or stripes, with plain deep-sided bottoms in darker shades - you don't have to stick to black, try dark brown or blue. For the very self-conscious, a floaty skirt or sarong will hide any bulges. Alternatively, tankinis give great midriff coverage, as long as the top and bottom of the suit meet.

Lucy Gao - watch what you wrote |
|
Lucy Gao became an instant hit when she hit the "send" button to email out her 21st birthday party invites to the friends at Citi Group. The email, see below, was then forwarded out of Citi-group, and eventually sent to several newspapers and out of control.
Whether the email is intended to be funny or not, it did not turns out that way. My guess is that her financial career is over now.
The lesson? Always be careful about what you are writing. In today's blog and social networking time, news travels fast, especially funny and bad ones. Clear mark the message if people might interpret it in different ways. Say it, not write it. And assume everyone in the world could get a copy as well.
