Keeping the Baby Healthy During Pregnancy

A healthy baby comes from a healthy mother during pregnancy and the belief that says that a pregnant woman should eat for two has long been corrected by nutritionists and health experts. So, what can a pregnant woman do to keep the baby healthy? For sure, the answer is not by eating double portions. Eating excessively will only cause obesity or even worse diabetes while pregnant and if this occurs, a pregnant woman will even have double tasks: keeping the baby healthy during pregnancy and overcoming the obesity or diabetes issue.

Why Cougars Are So Popular in Australia

Much has been written recently about the rise of “cougars” (sexually assertive, mature single women) in western societies. Many people seem to think that this boom is not real but merely a silly craze, a marketing ploy, or just an invention of the media.

Online Dating – Why a Unique Profile Matters

The 18th rule states “good character alone makes a man worthy of love” and when applied to online dating the easiest way to convince a lady of your good character is to have a great profile. The easiest way to convince someone that you are worth talking to more than the next guy is to have a unique profile — and since guys initiate most internet dating exchanges, and only get a response about 30% of the time for all their trouble, a unique internet dating profile is very important if they want to succeed at online dating.

Why does it matter that your online dating profile is unique? Your potential date may … READ MORE ...

Starting a Beauty Salon Business

In this bad economy, there are many businesses that are folding and closing for good. But there are plenty of recession-proof businesses out there; it is just a case of finding the right niche.

People still get married, so any business that is directly related to the wedding industry is typically still doing well in this bad economy as well. And, no matter the hard times, people still want to look beautiful. So, it goes without saying that beauty salons thrive in bad economies as well.
