An interesting study recently released by the Labor Department found that working women who are in their early twenties are getting closer to catching up to men in terms of their median earnings. Furthermore, the Labor Department found that women within most age groups have made gains in their earnings since 1979. Women who work full time and are over the age of 65, on the other hand, have not made any grounds in terms of closing the gender gap.

The report issued by the Labor Department stated that “the women’s-to-men’s earnings ration peaked at 81 percent in 2005 and 2006,” but some other statistics that are interesting to note include:

· Women between the ages of 25 and 34 earned 89% of what men earned in 2008, compared to just 68% in 1979
· The ratio for women-to-men between the ages of 45 and 54 went from 57% in 1979 to 75% in 2008
· Although the women’s-to-men’s earnings ration peaked in 2005 and 2006, it had risen steadily through the 1980s and 1990s
· The earning gap is greater for Asian women than it is or white women, while Hispanic women and African-American women had the lowest earning gap when compared to their male counterparts
· Women who have never been married earn approximately 94.2% of the earnings when compared to unmarried males
· Women who are married earn about 75.5% of what their married male counterparts earn

The report also found that part of the reason for the closing gap is the fact that women are achieving higher educational levels and are becoming more likely to take on higher paying occupations than they had in the past. At the same time, the report found that women are still generally more likely to take on jobs in fields such as healthcare and education, where the earnings do still tend to be lower.

It’s getting to be that time of the year again – to get a flu shot or not to get a flu shot?  According to many experts, there are certain populations of women who should certainly get a flu shot, particularly women who are pregnant. On the other hand, critics of the shot maintain that there is no guarantee that a flu shot will provide protection from the virus and that there are many potential side effects that outweigh the potential benefits a flu shot may provide.
According to Dr. Katherine Taber, who was quoted in an article in the Baltimore Sun about this matter, pregnant women are quite conflicted when it comes to whether or not they should get the shot. Yet, health officials have listed pregnant women as being top priority for flu vaccine and have been placed at the top of the list for receiving the swine flu vaccine.

“It’s tough. They’re worried about the safety of the vaccine because it hasn’t had a ton of testing,” she said. “They’re asking if Tylenol is OK and I’m telling them they have to get this new shot. The risk-benefit says the vaccine is safer [as compared to getting the H1N1 virus] – take the vaccine. But they’re skeptical.”

Of course, facing skepticism in light of a new vaccine is nothing new. In addition, only about one in every three Americans currently gets a seasonal flu shot, with the rates actually being lower among those groups of people who are at the greatest risk of facing complications resulting from the flu. In fact, only about one in five children gets a vaccination and the rate of vaccination is even lower with pregnant women. So, convincing pregnant women to take a relatively new flu vaccination will likely prove to be quite difficult.

At the same time, the risks associated with the H1N1 virus are quite real. In fact, experts believe about half of the people in the United States might come down with the bug and that about 90,000 of them will become seriously ill. Seasonal flu, on the other hand, kills about 36,000 people each year throughout the United States, with many of them being elderly. Approximately 200,000 people are hospitalized each year due to illness related to seasonal flu. When it comes to the swine flu, however, pregnant women and children are considered to be the highest risk group. To date, over 500 people have died from the virus throughout the United States.

“For the most part, we did hear a lot of hesitancy expressed around the 2009 H1N1 vaccine – concern among some of the moms about, for instance, the newness of it and the speed with which it’s being developed,” said Kris Sheedy, who is the director of communications for the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “Some of them used the word ‘guinea pig’ – ‘I don’t want myself or my child to be a guinea pig.’

“It really did underscore the need for us to get the message out that every year, we develop new flu vaccines because the virus is ever-changing. This goes on every year, so essentially this 2009 H1N1 vaccine is basically a normal flu vaccine with a different strain.”

The following is the list of highest priority groups for obtaining the H1N1 flu vaccinations:

•Pregnant women

•People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months old

•Health care workers and emergency medical personnel

•Children 6 months to 4 years old

•Children ages 5 through 18 who have chronic medical conditions

Lace-up shoes have remained strong for both the Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer seasons! So far as shoe trends for 2009 go, varieties of  This may not sound very amazing, given laces are such a given in the school shoe / sneaker kind of way… So rather the interesting thing is how the trend has steered away from this and moved more towards corsetry-inspired lacing, in line with the emergence of fetish in mainstream fashion. But I digress – I mostly just wanted to draw your attention to this street style shot by Jak & Jil, where the lace-up shoe trend merges with bright pops of colour.

I came across a list titled: “48 Tips to a Happy Marriage”. I thought that they are worth mentioning and maybe exploring. I wonder how much of these are followed by couples in our society and do they find them relevant and applicable?
Since I am still single; I will comment about each one from my own perspective and state what I think about it; by that; I am not dictating or promoting anything, I am just thinking in the form of writing.

The list goes as follows; if you become bored while going through them, stop and come back later because I found them very interesting and I am hoping you will do too:

1. Start each day with a kiss ~ I think this one is not that hard; on the contrary; it can be healthy and nice.

2. Wear your wedding ring at all times ~ most couples do wear the ring, however; their reasons might vary, so as long as they think of it as a sign of their commitment to their spouses, then they are on the safe side.

3. Date once a week ~ I believe this one is very healthy; maybe not as often as once a week, let’s say every other week or that a date can be inside your home and that you don’t have to go somewhere fancy to have it, you get the idea, right?

4. Accept differences ~ No one is perfect. However; healthy arguments are good for the relationship, hence; the most important thing would be learning how to compromise with one another.

5. Be polite ~ Please, thank you, you are welcome… these are not only meant for strangers; your own spouse and family should come first and you must always use these phrases inside your home.

6. Be gentle ~ a person is supposed to be the closest to his/her spouse, being gentle is crucial to keep them close enough or they will find that comfort elsewhere.

7. Give gifts ~ nice small gifts are appreciated every once in a while

8. Smile often ~ I would say: Smile Always because it is contagious and you are more likely to be smiled at when you show your teeth more often!!

9. Touch ~ intimacy between married people is very important and touching is a means of communication that reflects closeness, connection and love; it is your way of keeping the spark alive.

10. Talk about dreams ~ dreams of the future that is; if you don’t share your dreams with your spouse; then who?

11. Select a song that can be “our song” ~ this sounds like a cliché, but it can be nice, don’t you think?

12. Give back rubs ~ this means: be comforting both mentally and physically and if you don’t know how to give back rubs and massages; it is time to learn!

13. Laugh together ~ laughter is like smiling and as they say: it is medicine. When you share good laughs together; the fun grows in the relationship and you grow closer and stronger every day.

14. Send a card for no reason ~ another cliché? Maybe, but everyone likes to receive a nice “I love you” or “I miss you” notes every once in a while; it does boost one’s ego, doesn’t it?

15. Do what the other person wants before he or she asks ~ of course; you need to know your spouse so well to be able to do this one. I guess this comes with time as you grow to know each other but seek to get that knowledge; don’t assume that it will come to you!

16. Listen ~ this could be the most important one ever, but note that you should listen with empathy and not just hear what they are saying; you should get involved.

17. Encourage ~ positive support and being there for one another is also very important; seek their support and give them yours and be generous!

18. Do it his or her way ~ sometimes; you need to do things their way just to show how much you love them and respect their feelings.

19. Know his or her needs ~ what good is a spouse if he/she does not know the needs of their significant others? This should be your primary concern!

20. Compliment twice a day ~ everyone likes to hear something nice as a compliment; so give them that when it is due. It should not be literally twice but don’t be extreme by not giving at all or giving too much; just say something nice when you can.

21. Fix the other person’s breakfast ~ it doesn’t have to be breakfast in bed though!

22. Call during the day ~ but don’t over do it and be obsessed with calling him/her. Give them their space but also show them that you think of them by a 2-minutes phone call saying “how are you doing?”

23. Slow down ~ and don’t jump to conclusions; always give the benefit of the doubt and wait to hear them out.

24. Cuddle ~ yes; intimacy is very important and reflects love and deep feelings.

25. Ask for each others’ opinion ~ absolutely; whose opinion would you seek if not your spouse’s? Your decisions will reflect both your lives and not only your own, so their opinion is important for you to make the right move.

26. Show respect ~ all the time; whether you are alone or among others. Showing respect is more important than showing love.

27. Welcome the other person home ~ show enthusiasm when they come home and greet them; this means that you are happy because they are home now and that you were waiting for them!

28. Look your best ~ I understand that this is not easy to implement since we face different situations all day long, however; it does count that you make the effort to look your best every once in a while just for their sake and not only because you are going out or expecting guests, get the point?

29. Wink at each other ~ another cliché? Probably, but it can be any other gesture like smiling their way across the room or dining table, or holding their hand for a minute, just anything that appeals to both of you.

30. Celebrate birthdays in a big way ~ this does not mean a big party; just show them you care about their personal occasions.

31. Apologize ~ and don’t be too stubborn to admit that you made a mistake, because apologizing can clear things between you and allows you to move on from the conflict in a healthy manner.

32. Forgive ~ from the heart and not only in words; forgive them and mean it.

33. Set up a romantic getaway ~ this sounds like fun every once in a while; no harm in that!

34. Ask, “What can I do to make you happier?” ~ in other words; communicate and keep it going, because one’s needs might change along the way, and what they used to like a couple of years ago might not be appealing to them now; so make sure you ask them what does make them happy and do it.

35. Be positive ~ even when it is a negative era of your lives; always try to show the full half of the cup.

36. Be kind ~ and nice.

37. Be vulnerable ~ let those guards down and show your true colors.

38. Respond quickly to the other person’s request ~ show them that you are doing this because you care for them the most.

39. Talk about your love ~ again; communicate. Always tell them as well as show them how much you love them and how happy you are because of having them in your lives.

40. Treat each others’ friends and relatives with courtesy ~ even if you don’t like their family and/or friends, you treat them with respect and courtesy for the sake of your spouse; they deserve that much.

41. Send flowers every Valentine’s Day and anniversary ~ or just for the sake of it; flowers can say a lot on your behalf.

42. Admit when wrong ~ don’t be too arrogant to say it.

43. Be sensitive to each other’s sexual desires ~ more importantly; understand these desires and keep the communication going.

44. Pray for each other daily ~ and do it from the heart.

45. Watch sunsets together ~ just share such moments together; it does not have to be sunset; it can be anything else.

46. Say “I love you” frequently ~ don’t assume that they know you love them; everyone likes to hear it, so say it!

47. End the day with a hug ~ show closeness and again; intimacy.

48. Seek outside help when needed ~ if you reach a point when you feel that you cannot solve the problem alone; seek the help of someone you both trust before giving up, or go for professional help as a last resort. Never feel ashamed of that; seeking help is a lot better than giving up and doing your very best to solve your issues. You owe it to yourself and to them to do that

These tips are solid gold, learned from successful experience with thousands of peoples. Some tips are new. Some you’ve heard before, but they’re repeated because they work. This treasure trove of RD wisdom could change your life-starting today.

39. “It’s more stressful to continue being fat than to stop overeating.”

I Eat Healthy, but I’m Overweight. What Mistakes Could I Be Making without Realizing It?
40. Skipping meals. Many healthy eaters “diet by day and binge by night.”

41. Don’t “graze” yourself fat. You can easily munch 600 calories of pretzels or cereal without realizing it.

42. Eating pasta like crazy. A serving of pasta is 1 cup, but some people routinely eat 4 cups.43. Eating supersize bagels of 400 to 500 calories for snacks.

What’s Your Best Advice for Avoiding those Extra Holiday Pounds?
60. Don’t tell yourself, “It’s okay, it’s the holidays.” That opens the door to 6 weeks of splurging.

61. Remember, EAT before you meet. Have this small meal before you go to any parties: a hardboiled Egg, Apple, and a Thirst quencher (water, seltzer, diet soda, tea).

62. As obvious as it sounds, don’t stand near the food at parties. Make the effort, and you’ll find you eat less.

63. At a buffet? Eating a little of everything guarantees high calories. Decide on three or four things, only one of which is high in calories. Save that for last so there’s less chance of overeating.

64. For the duration of the holidays, wear your snuggest clothes that don’t allow much room for expansion. Wearing sweats is out until January.

65. Give it away! After company leaves, give away leftover food to neighbors, doormen, or delivery people, or take it to work the next day.

66. Walk around the mall three times before you start shopping.

67. Make exercise a nonnegotiable priority.

68. Dance to music with your family in your home. One dietitian reported that when she asks her patients to do this, initially they just smile, but once they’ve done it, they say it is one of the easiest ways to involve the whole family in exercise.

How Can I Control a Raging Sweet Tooth?
69. Once in a while, have a lean, mean salad for lunch or dinner, and save the meal’s calories for a full dessert.

70. Are you the kind of person who does better if you make up your mind to do without sweets and just not have them around? Or are you going to do better if you have a limited amount of sweets every day? One RD reported that most of her clients pick the latter and find they can avoid bingeing after a few days.

71. If your family thinks they need a very sweet treat every night, try to strike a balance between offering healthy choices but allowing them some “free will.” Compromise with low-fat ice cream and fruit, or sometimes just fruit with a dollop of whipped cream.

72. Try 2 weeks without sweets. It’s amazing how your cravings vanish.

73. Eat more fruit. A person who gets enough fruit in his diet doesn’t have a raging sweet tooth.

74. Eat your sweets, just eat them smart! Carve out about 150 calories per day for your favorite sweet. That amounts to about an ounce of chocolate, half a modest slice of cake, or 1/2 cup of regular ice cream.

75. Try these smart little sweets: sugar-free hot cocoa, frozen red grapes, fudgsicles, sugar-free gum, Nutri-Grain chocolate fudge twists, Tootsie Rolls, and hard candy.

How Can I Conquer My Downfall: Bingeing at Night?
76. Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The large majority of people who struggle with night eating are those who skip meals or don’t eat balanced meals during the day. This is a major setup for overeating at night.

77. Eat your evening meal in the kitchen or dining room, sitting down at the table.

78. Drink cold unsweetened raspberry tea. It tastes great and keeps your mouth busy.

79. Change your nighttime schedule. It will take effort, but it will pay off. You need something that will occupy your mind and hands.

80. If you’re eating at night due to emotions, you need to focus on getting in touch with what’s going on and taking care of yourself in a way that really works. Find a nonfood method of coping with your stress.

81. Put a sign on the kitchen and refrigerator doors: “Closed after Dinner.”

82. Brush your teeth right after dinner to remind you: No more food.

83. Eat without engaging in any other simultaneous activity. No reading, watching TV, or sitting at the computer.

84. Eating late at night won’t itself cause weight gain. It’s how many calories—not when you eat them—that counts.

How Can I Reap Added Health Benefits from My Dieting?
85. Fat-free isn’t always your best bet. Research has found that none of the lycopene or alpha- or beta-carotene that fight cancer and heart disease is absorbed from salads with fat-free dressing. Only slightly more is absorbed with reduced-fat dressing; the most is absorbed with full-fat dressing. But remember, use your dressing in moderate amounts.

86. Skipping breakfast will leave you tired and craving naughty foods by midmorning. To fill up healthfully and tastefully, try this sweet, fruity breakfast full of antioxidants. In a blender, process 1 c nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt, 1 1/3 c frozen strawberries (no added sugar), 1 peeled kiwi, and 1 peeled banana. Pulse until mixture is milkshake consistency. Makes one 2-cup serving; 348 calories and 1.5 fat grams.

87. If you’re famished by 4 p.m. and have no alternative but an office vending machine, reach for the nuts—. The same goes if your only choices are what’s available in the hotel minibar.

88. Next time you’re feeling wiped out in late afternoon, forgo that cup of coffee and reach for a cup of yogurt instead. The combination of protein, carbohydrate, and fat in an 8-ounce serving of low-fat yogurt will give you a sense of fullness and well-being that coffee can’t match, as well as some vital nutrients. If you haven’t eaten in 3 to 4 hours, your blood glucose levels are probably dropping, so eating a small amount of nutrient-rich food will give your brain and your body a boost.

89. Making just a few changes to your pantry shelves can get you a lot closer to your weight loss goals. Here’s what to do: If you use corn and peanut oil, replace it with olive oil. Same goes for breads—go for whole wheat. Trade in those fatty cold cuts like salami and bologna and replace them canned tuna, sliced turkey breast, and lean roast beef. Change from drinking whole milk to fat-free milk or low-fat soy milk. This is hard for a lot of people so try transitioning down to 2 percent and then 1 percent before you go fat-free.

90. Nothing’s less appetizing than a crisper drawer full of mushy vegetables. Frozen vegetables store much better, plus they may have greater nutritional value than fresh. Food suppliers typically freeze veggies just a few hours after harvest, locking in the nutrients. Fresh veggies, on the other hand, often spend days in the back of a truck before they reach your supermarket.

91. Worried about the trans-fat content in your peanut butter? Good news: In a test done on Skippy, JIF, Peter Pan, and a supermarket brand, the levels of trans fats per 2-tablespoon serving were far lower than 0.5 gram—low enough that under proposed laws, the brands can legally claim zero trans fats on the label. They also contained only 1 gram more sugar than natural brands—not a significant difference.

Eating Less Isn’t Enough—What Exercising Tips Will Help Me Shed Pounds?
92. Overeating is not the result of exercise. Vigorous exercise won’t stimulate you to overeat. It’s just the opposite. Exercise at any level helps curb your appetite immediately following the workout.

93. When you’re exercising, you shouldn’t wait for thirst to strike before you take a drink. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re already dehydrated. Try this: Drink at least 16 ounces of water, sports drinks, or juices two hours before you exercise. Then drink 8 ounces an hour before and another 4 to 8 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes during your workout. Finish with at least 16 ounces after you’re done exercising.

94. Tune in to an audio book while you walk. It’ll keep you going longer and looking forward to the next walk—and the next chapter! Check your local library for a great selection. Look for a whodunit; you might walk so far you’ll need to take a cab home!

95. Think yoga’s too serene to burn calories? Think again. You can burn 250 to 350 calories during an hour-long class (that’s as much as you’d burn from an hour of walking)! Plus, you’ll improve muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance.

96. Drinking too few can hamper your weight loss efforts. That’s because dehydration can slow your metabolism by 3 percent, or about 45 fewer calories burned a day, which in a year could mean weighing 5 pounds more. The key to water isn’t how much you drink, it’s how frequently you drink it. Small amounts sipped often work better than 8 ounces gulped down at once.

How Can I Manage My Emotional Eating and Get the Support I Need?
97. A registered dietitian (RD) can help you find healthy ways to manage your weight with food. To find one in your area who consults with private clients call (800) 366-1655.

98. The best place to drop pounds may be your own house of worship. Researchers set up healthy eating and exercise programs in 16 Baltimore churches. More than 500 women participated and after a year the most successful lost an average of 20 lb. Weight loss programs based on faith are so successful because there’s a built-in community component that people can feel comfortable with.

99. Here’s another reason to keep level-headed all the time: Pennsylvania State University research has found that women less able to cope with stress—shown by blood pressure and heart rate elevations—ate twice as many fatty snacks as stress-resistant women did, even after the stress stopped (in this case, 25 minutes of periodic jackhammer-level noise and an unsolvable maze).

100. Sitting at a computer may help you slim down. When researchers at Brown University School of Medicine put 92 people on online weight loss programs for a year, those who received weekly e-mail counseling shed 5 1/2 more pounds than those who got none. Counselors provided weekly feedback on diet and exercise logs, answered questions, and cheered them on. Most major online diet programs offer many of these features.

Myla was founded in 1999 as a lifestyle concept offering a beautiful collection of luxury lingerie, sleepwear, swimwear and an exclusive range of bedroom accessories. The aim was to allow women to indulge their love of luxury in every area of their life including the bedroom, and empower them to look and feel sexy and beautiful.

The first Myla boutique opened in Notting Hill, London’s hippest district and the brand’s reputation grew rapidly. Uniquely, Vogue featured the brand every month for the first year. When Kate Moss found out she was pregnant, she rushed to Myla for bespoke lingerie. And Myla’s famous Myla’s Lace & Freshwater Pearl G-String gave Sex and the City’s Samantha a moment for reflection.

In addition to their luxury lingerie, Myla became renowned for their exclusive selection of innovative Toys. Created by world-leading designers, Myla’s toys graced the front pages of national newspapers and were featured in design exhibitions around the world.

There are many fashion mistakes women make and here we have picked out the most common ones.Many people make these Fashion mistakes as they try to hard, or want to make sure they are wearing the latest fashions or styles regardless of whether they suit them or not.Fact is, anyone can present a stylish fashionable look. There are styles and fashions out there to suit everyone.

1.Your clothes don’t fit correctly.

Wearing baggy clothes will add weight to anyone. Clothes that are too small accentuate bulges and can make you look ridiculous.Don’t buy anything thinking that it will be “just right” if you lose weight. Buy for the present and in relation to your clothes size now.

2. Wearing wrinkled clothes.

A great suit or dress won’t do you any favors unless it’s wrinkle-free. Avoid this fashion mistake and buy clothes that are easy to care for and don’t wrinkle easily.

3. Fashion trends that don’t suit you.

Don’t try to follow trends that don’t suit you. Keep in mind your figure and age and only wear what looks good on you.

There is nothing worse than seeing someone follow fashion for the sake of it. Face reality, if short skirts are in and you haven’t got the legs for it don’t do it!

There are plenty of fashionable looks out there and it’s a question of finding the ones that are best for you.

4. Showing bra & panty lines.

Wear proper fitting undergarments under your clothing. If they do fit you correctly and you can still see lines, then your clothing is too tight. If you are dress size 14 except it and don’t try and squeeze into a 10.
