Belly Dancing Hen Night
Belly Dancing is a great way for you to release your inner being through dance. It will also give you and your girlfriends an opportunity to have lots of fun.
Anyone can learn to belly dance, whatever their shape or size, and because Middle Eastern dance has not been codified as have other forms of dance such as ballet, it is very much an improvised art form.
The sensuous rhythmical movement of the hips, pelvic and abdomen offers belly dancers a great way to stay supple and trim. This should be music to the ears of the novice and a perfect way to spend your hen night with friends.
Go on let your hair down and let the music take control!

The Grooms Waistcoat
White dresses and veils, flowers and the cake are all at the top of the list when the wedding day is being planned and with today’s modern man stepping forward and having a much bigger say in what he wears, a lot more consideration is now being put into his ‘role’ in complimenting the bride and bridesmaids colours.
One of the most popular ways to do this begins with the waistcoat. Coloured and patterned waistcoats have come a long way since the hardest decision in the past was choosing between black or grey!

Getting Engaged....
It used to be the tradition for a man to first approach his sweetheart’s Father to ask for her hand in marriage and once his request had been accepted, he would approach his hopefully future wife and ask her to spend the rest of their lives together, while at the same time producing a beautiful engagement ring and place it on the third finger of her left hand if she said ‘yes’!
Getting engaged can be listed high as one of life’s experiences with an understanding of commitments between two people that a marriage will take place.

Tip of the Issue
Hair care tip:
For 3 to 6 months before your wedding use an intensive conditioner / treatment on your hair once a week to keep it nourished and healthy for the big day . This will also help your hair cope better with all the colouring / perming and styling on the run up to the wedding.
Thanks to madmooer (Fay) for that Top Tip :)
