While there is no foolproof method of eluding thieves, the information below may help reduce the possibility of your becoming a victim

1. Before leaving the house, think about ways to protect yourself. Think about where you want to carry your money, credit cards and identification. Dont take valuable jewelry and watches with you. Separate valuables dont put all your money in one place.

2. Reduce the possibility of becoming a victim by securing valuables in a waist belt or pouch covered by a shirt sweater or coat. NEVER FLASH MONEY AROUND.

3. Dont make it easy for the thief dont carry large amounts of money in easily accessible jacket pockets or purses. Dont use a wallet. Use your front pants pockets and inside shirt pockets for your money and other valuables. Placing valuables in a purse around your neck or shoulder and secured inside a shirt sweater or jacket is a useful habit to get into. Waist packs are better than purses or handbags, but they should also be hidden under a shirt or coat.

4. Never advertise your intention to spend a large amount of money.

5. Avoid shopping alone. Awareness of your surroundings and advanced planning are your best weapons for defending against thieves.

6. Always be aware of your surroundings. Look at people near you and watch for “accidental” nudging and touching.

7. Do not carry anything in your wallet or purse that you are not willing to lose. Most shopping in Asia is done on a cash and carry basis leave unneeded credit cards and your passport in a safe place. Carry a photocopy of the ID portion of your passport. Your ID card and drivers license is replaceable family photographs and other personal items may not be as easy to replace. Remember, carry only what you are going to need for your outing.

The precautions listed above can help make you a harder target. Terrorists and criminals look for the easy target the path of least resistance. By making yourself a difficult target you can help ensure your own safety and that of your family. Please remember that thinking about what to do in an emergency is not as frightening as not knowing what to do when faced with an actual emergency.

Makeup and Prom Dresses Blending for Beauty!

You have purchased your prom dress, shoes, jewelry, and handbag. You have decided on whether you will style your hair yourself or go to a beautician. Now you need to decide if you will do your own makeup or have it done professionally. With 2007 prom dresses, it’s all about fashion, and makeup is a part of that fashion statement that will make you shine!

If you are one that does not like to wear makeup, you will need to wear a small amount for your prom. Makeup will bring your features out and cover those unwanted blemishes.

If you have decided to do your own makeup, put on your makeup before putting on your prom dress. This is a precaution to protect your prom dress from any drops or spills that may take place while you are applying your makeup.

There are many tips for applying makeup that can bring out your natural beauty.

Foundation and Concealer

The first step in applying makeup is choosing the perfect foundation. This is done by matching the makeup with your skin tone and complexion. Always make sure the makeup is well blended and there are no foundation lines around the neck. For any visible blemishes or dark circles under the eyes, a concealer can be used. Just dab it on lightly and blend it in good with the foundation.

Eye Makeup

Once your foundation is applied, your eyes are the next important step. You do not want your eye shadow to match the color of your prom dress, but you do want it to compliment the dress. In order to highlight your eyes, you will use a lighter shade or the base color from the lash line to the brow. Use a darker shade as a contour along the upper lash line from the center toward the outer corner, then back along crease.

With an eyeliner pencil, draw a single line above upper lash line from inner to outer corner. Then, draw a line under your lower lashes from outer to inner corner.

Mascara adds the finishing touch to your eyes. Hold the brush vertically to stroke your lower lashes. Then, for your upper lashes, wiggle the brush back and forth at the base, and then sweep the brush upward.

Blush

You may want to add a little cheek color just to make people think you have a natural glow. For applying this, you can use a cheek color brush and this will make blending easier.

Lipstick

Your lips can be brought out by lining them with a pencil, then filling them in with a creamy lipstick. This will give definition and shape to your lips. Glossy lipstick can be used for that stunning look.

Powder

Finally, after all your prom makeup has been applied, dust your face with loose powder using light, downward strokes. This can be applied by using a powder brush

Body Makeup

You may want to experiment with the body makeup to highlight your prom dress. This is glitter powder or gel that can be applied to your arms and shoulders and you will look like you are under the stars

Just one tip Do not use any of your friend’s makeup (especially eye makeup). Bacteria may be in the makeup because it has been opened and used. This can cause eye infection or pink eye. If you are having your makeup done professionally, carry your own lipstick with you.

These makeup tips can also be used for other occasions in which formal dresses, homecoming gowns and Quinceanera gowns are worn. Makeup and prom dresses can blend to bring out your beauty on your special evening!

What is it about handbags that drive the girls bonkers? It’s handbags and shoes an awesome combination that makes significant others jealous everywhere.

And no, it’s never adequate only to possess one in your stash, but to have an entire years worth of handbags and fashion accouterments so that you can match it with whatever you’re wearing that day (or whatever mood you’re in).

There is something very sultry and raw about handbags they exude femineity. It’s probably the defining accessory for women because it goes beyond footwear, or other clothing we put on our physical bodies handbags are what make women standout from a purely fashion point of view.

Handbags are not merely eye candy, in fact, they provide various different uses as well. There are all purpose handbags that can carry your daily essentials such as cell phones, makeup, wallet, and anything else you’d like to have around with you.

There are particular handbags that people use to carry their canine fellows as well. Women rarely use one style of handbag. They usually have a rack full of different bags for different occasions.

There are all sorts of styles and fashions of handbags that will suit the taste of any discerning woman in the whole world. From wellknown handbags such as coach, to lesser known producers, there are wide product lines as diverse and unique as the stars in the sky.

If you think that’s still not impressive, there is a constant evolution of handbags on a annual basis, whereby the hottest new designers come out with a refreshing approach while the veteran designers produce instant classics adored by all.

Some groups prefer the name brands exclusively, while others go for lower tier handbags and purses, while yet others may consider a mix or even opt for replicas. Replicas usually are inferior in quality and certainly not a good decision in most cases.

Getting the most out of any networking event is about more than just handing out and collecting cards. Some people seem to think the success of an event can be measured by the number of business cards they take away. The truth is its better to make real connections with fewer people, rather than to pride yourself on a collection of cards that you may never use. These simple steps will help you to use your business cards effectively and to know what to do next with the cards that you collect at a networking event.

bAlways carry your business cardb. That means both in and out of business hours even at social and sporting events you never know when someone may need your services. Ladies, it is a good idea to keep a supply of business cards in all of your handbags while gentlemen, you may like to keep a supply in all your coat jackets.

bNever hand out cards with incorrect or crossed out informationb. It is not professional. Information crossed out may give the appearance that you are disorganised or dont have attention to detail. Business cards are not expensive to print and you should ensure each one you hand out is an ideal representation of you and your business.

bKeep a good supply of cardsb. Dont allow yourself to be in a position where you cant give someone your card. Be aware of your stock and reorder before you get too low.

bAsk for a business cardb. When you have met someone and had conversation ask, May I have your card? Always ask for their card first. Once you have received it then ask, May I give you my card? Dont always assume that they will want your card. It is more polite to give it to them after they have said yes.

bAsk permissionb. If you want to write details on someones card (while you are still with them) always ask, Do you mind if I make a note on the back of you card? Some people invest substantial money in their cards and asking this question demonstrates your respect.

bWrite notes to yourselfb. When you have finished a conversation with someone, take a moment to write something about him or her on the back of his or her card. This will help jog your memory when you contact them after the event.

After each networking event I gather all the cards I have collected and put a rubber band around them together with note to remind myself of which event I met these people at. I place the pile of cards on my laptop keyboard so I that I action them the next day. Some people invest in contact management systems, and many of them are good, however you can still establish an effective contact system using basic tools such as a business card holder and Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes.

bSchedule follow up timeb. Whenever I book a networking event into my schedule I always schedule another 30minute appointment with myself for the day after the event to follow up with the organisers and the people I meet.

bSend handwritten cardsb. I handwrite thank you cards for those people I made a real connection with. I thank them for the time we spent, for the information they gave me or acknowledge some other connection that we made. Receiving a hand written card in the mail is so unusual and personal that it delivers with it a powerful impression, far stronger than a quick email might.

bBook a 20minute coffeeb. If you have connected with someone at an event and you want to know more about them and their business, make an appointment with them for a 20minute coffee. Twenty minutes is an easy appointment for most people to fit into their schedule. It indicates that you value their time and shows that you are genuine about wanting to find out more about them. When you contact them you might say, Id like to invite you for a 20minute coffee so I can find out more about what you do, what day is most suitable for you? Make sure you honour the 20minutes. At the 20minute mark I always stop the meeting and say, I promised it would only take 20minutes so thank you for your time. At this point the person you are with is able to choose whether they want to end the meeting or continue.

bSend a thank you to the event organiserb. Take the time to thank the organisers of the event, let them know why you found it valuable and include your business card in the envelope. There is a lot of time and energy that goes into organising events and people appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge that.

Few breeds are as widely loved as the Maltese. This intelligent and affectionate pet is popular all over the world with the rich and famous as well as the commoners.

The Maltese is a playful and adventurous little dog with a rich history dating back more than 28 centuries.

As with every breed there is some disagreement about the first traces of the breed. Some say the dog originated in Sweden and is a descendent of a Spitz type dog.

The Greeks believe the first Maltese originated in the Isle of Malta. They called this dog “Melitaie Dog”. Melitae was the ancient name for Malta. Some sources indicate the Maltese originated in Asia.

The earliest artifacts resembling Maltese dogs was found in Egypt. These date back to between 600300 B.C. suggesting that the ancient Egyptians worshipped early forms of the Maltese.

There are many historical pictoral representations of these dogs. Greek cermaic art and many Greek and roman philosphers also mention the Maltese. Aristotle and many other noteworthy philosophers and historians mention the dog. The Greeks even erected tombs to their Maltese.

These tiny dogs most likely made their way through Europe and the Middle East as nomadic tribes migrated. Some say the little dogs were used in bartering and in this way the Maltese found its way around Europe, and beyond.

The Maltese was regarded as a upper class dog, prized by aristocrats, statespersons and royalty. In the middle of the 19th Century it was regarded as quite fashionable to have a Maltese in your pocket or handbag. Some even believed that the dog possessed magical healing powers.

The first records of the Maltese in Britian is during the reign of Henry VIII. Many royals have enjoyed Maltese companions since then. Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria also owned Maltese.

Nobody documented how the Maltese came to America. The Maltese were first seen in the US in the late 1800’s. The first Maltese was white and listed as a “Maltese Lion Dog” at the first show in 1877. The American Kennel Club started recognizing the breed in 1888.

Maltese owners come from all walks of life. Many pop culture icons have owned these good natured little dogs. Marylin Monroe, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor and Tony Bennett are some of the famous owners.

Most likely its white color and long silky coat had a great deal to do with its popularity. It also has alot to do with its great personality

Customers are getting smart. They know what they want, and with the sheer number of wholesale handbags websites on the Internet, they will walk away if they dont get it. After all, there will always be another wholesale handbags supplier who can give them a better deal. Or if not a cheaper handbag, something in a better color or a prettier design for the same price youre offering. Theyre very fickle when it comes to buying wholesale handbags. If you cant sell me the wholesale handbags that Im looking for, theyll say, Ill find someone who will.

So the way to succeed at the wholesale handbags industry is to really offer the best variety and the most reasonable prices. Even if you lead the pack in search engine optimization, or have the fanciest graphics and the most colorful product photos, if your wholesale handbags website doesnt deliver value to the customers, you dont make more sales.

Thats why its important to develop your wholesale handbags business network of suppliers. How can you offer good prices for your wholesale handbags when youre paying too much for your stocks? How can you entice your visitors to shop when your catalogue of wholesale handbags is meager and monotonous?

Thats why your success in wholesale handbags depends on an extensive directory of wholesale handbags suppliers. Its the most useful kind of database that youll ever find on the internet, and perhaps the smartest move youll ever make for your business. Having found one, you can find suppliers with the best rates, and then negotiate for even prices by telling them that you can always take your business elsewhere. And if youre not happy with any of your wholesale handbags suppliers (maybe their service isnt reliable, or their quality is erratic, or they simply dont have the designs that your visitors want) then you have other options.

And if your wholesale handbags business blossoms, as we all hope it will, then you can expand it without worrying that you wont be able to keep up with the demand for wholesale handbags. You can go to other wholesale handbags suppliers to get a different kind of style or material, or include more whole handbags suppliers of designer labels. You have more power over your business, you deliver better value to your customers, and ultimately, you have higher profits.

So what are you waiting for? This kind of service may be exactly what you need to stand out in a sea of wholesale handbags suppliers. So the next time a customer visits your wholesale handbags website, and looks at your large inventory and sees the low prices you can afford to give (because you get it lower prices too) she isnt going to walk away. Except, maybe, to get her credit card make that credit cards and buy all the handbags she can.

Everyone wants to stand out especially when it comes to showcasing the latest fashion trends in apparel, footwear and handbags. There are basically two types of people in this world when it comes to their fashion sense. There are those who merely follow whats found inside fashion magazines or the latest trends from the runway of famous designers. There are also those who want to start their own trend or those who dont pay much attention to the latest styles because they want to be themselves by expressing their own individuality. If you classify yourself with this second group of individuals then I believe you are one of the many who dont quite like shopping from a mall because you are fed up with the many similar styles and designs that numerous shops are displaying on their racks.

You have to admit that when you do window shopping, you would notice that majority of the stores carry a similar line of handbags or those almost in exactly the same kind or color with a different brand name at that. Quite often we get embarrassed being in the same elevator or bus for example with someone carrying a tote which is exactly the same as what we are bringing too. We cant help but feel that our handbag is just way too common. I believe that there still are many women worldwide who want to have their own sense of style without being so much as part of the crowd following on whats new and whats not.

You will find that shopping online gives you a myriad of choices when it comes to handbags in varying shapes, sizes, colors, designs, and styles. Shopping online helps you find oneofakind unique purses that may never be available in a retail store. Plus you will find that many of these bags are actually a lot cheaper because maintaining an online store doesnt require a lot of overhead expenses unlike that of an actual shop wherein you have to pay for rent, electricity, maintenance and salaries for the staff not to mention other miscellaneous expenses. Shopping online also gives you the convenience at shopping at your own time whether its 500 am in the morning or late at night even in the comfort of your own home.

The only thing is you dont really get a feel of the handbag and is not given the opportunity to actually try it on you. I would suggest that if you do shop online, shop only on websites that offer either a return or refund policy that will enable you to get your money back or have it changed to another one in case you are not satisfied with it.

The first step to picking your products involves identifying you niche. It has been proven again and again that Ebay sellers who focus on a niche market are much more successful both in sales from new traffic and sales from repeat customers.

What is a niche market? It is basically a specialty store. To put it simply you focus on one group of related products. For example Children’s Apparel, Cameras and Camera Accessories, Designer Handbags, Fragrances for Men and Women…etc….The point is to focus on a group of related products and if you explore the eBay stores you will notice most of the successful ones are all these types of specialty sites.

Here’s a breakdown of the benefits of a niche market approach

Initial set up is much easier. Since you are focusing on a group of similar products you can quickly and easily add all the available products in your chosen category to your Ebay listings.

It has been proven that niche market Ebayers gain a significant increase in their upsales (meaning a customer who views you listing for a digital camera sees that you are also selling the lens he wants and he buys that too). If you are selling unrelated items like cameras and belt buckles then you are not going to have much chance at the upsell.

You will generate repeat customers who have shopped with you before and had a positive experience. When you sell Joe Blow a printer and he later needs ink or paper he is more likely to return to you to make his purchase because he already trusts you and he assumes you will have the related products he wants, and if you have followed the niche model you will! Since you are selling printers your niche would include these accessories and you would pick up the sale. Ebay allows members to add sellers and Ebay stores to their favorites list so they can easily come back to the vendors they have used and trust.

A niche market is much more manageable and logical. It doesn’t really make sense to be selling power tools and wide screen t.v.’s….you see the point? And keeping up with your inventory is a very simple matter when you are working from a niche model.

There are two invaluable FREE tools that can give you a great snapshot of the hottest products on eBay. Ebay Pop and Ebay Seller Resources. Access them through Ebay and make good use of the available tools to help you narrow your niche.

So now lets suppose you have chosen Cookware as your niche market. You build your eBay listings using only products that fall into the Cookware category. You appropriately price your items, fine tune your listings and drive traffic to your listings.

When you feel you have all your cookware products running smoothly you are ready to expand to a related category like blenders or microwaves. Each time you complete a category you move on to the next one and the list of items you are selling will grow and grow….and you will still have a niche market.

There is no limit to how far you can go with this. With enough time and effort you could find yourself running on a department store type model. The key is one category at a time. Make sure every product in that category is 100 optimized before moving on to a new category.

Import Notes on Selection Criteria for Products

It is very easy to get overwhelmed by the many products you now have access to. Here are some crucial factors to keep in mind when choosing your niche market and the best products within your niche

Don’t chose a niche that is already highly saturated on Ebay. You can easily determine the saturation level by doing a couple of ebay searches for products in the niche you are considering. For example if i go to eBay and search for “Cell Phones” thousands of listings are going to pop up. Your listing would get lost in the shuffle. Search for “Underwater Camera” and you will find it is a much less crowded category. If you check the completed listings you will find most listings sold telling you this is a good opportunity for a niche market. It is always a good idea to check the completed listings for a more accurate idea of how well the item is selling overall on Ebay and for how much.

When choosing products avoid items that have a low quantity available. It may seem like an easy sell but when quantities are low you take a huge risk that the item will sell out before you sell it. In some cases products with a low quantity are actually already sold out and have not been updated yet. You can always contact customer service to get more information as to the availability. My general rule is not to sell products that have a quantity of less than 25 in stock.

Do Ebay searches for any item you are interested in. You can see how much competition there is and also by checking the completed auctions you can get a picture of how much people are paying for the item. Prices can vary greatly and you may ask yourself why. It is all about the presentation which I discuss more in my in depth free guide.

Don’t get to caught up in how much the retail price of the items are. The important thing is what they are actually selling for and how steady the demand is. I have a product that I sell for 5.95 plus 3 shipping. I profit only 2.30 per sale but that adds up fast when you sell 50 or 100 a week.

I discuss this topic and much more in my free online guide for Ebay dropshippers which can be viewed at the link below

1. Safety begins when you pack. To avoid being a target, dress conservatively. Don’t wear expensive looking jewelry. A flashy wardrobe or one that is too casual can mark you as a tourist. As much as possible, avoid the appearance of affluence.

2. Always try to travel light. You can move more quickly and will be more likely to have a free hand. You will also be less tired and less likely to set your luggage down, leaving it unattended.

3. Carry the minimum amount of valuables necessary for your trip and plan a place or places to conceal them. Your passport, cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe. When you have to carry them on your person, you may wish to conceal them in several places rather than putting them all in one wallet or pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny packs and outside pockets that are easy targets for thieves. Inside pockets and a sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest are somewhat safer. One of the safest places to carry valuables is in a pouch or money belt worn under your clothing.

4. If you wear glasses, pack an extra pair. Bring them and any medicines you need in your carryon luggage.

5. To avoid problems when passing through customs, keep medicines in their original, labeled containers. Bring copies of your prescriptions and the generic names for the drugs. If a medication is unusual or contains narcotics, carry a letter from your doctor attesting to your need to take the drug. If you have any doubt about the legality of carrying a certain drug into a country, consult the embassy or consulate of that country first.

6. Bring travelers checks and one or two major debitcredit cards instead of cash.

7. Pack an extra set of passport photos along with a photocopy of your passport information page to make replacement of your passport easier in the event it is lost or stolen.

8. Put your name, address and telephone numbers inside and outside of each piece of luggage. Use covered luggage tags to avoid casual observation of your identity or nationality. If possible, lock your luggage.

9. Consider getting a telephone calling card. It is a convenient way of keeping in touch. If you have one, verify that you can use it from your overseas location(s). Access numbers to U.S. operators are published in many international newspapers. Find out your access number before you go.

10. Check with TSA or your local airlines to see if there are any restrictions like liquids, lighters, matches, etc. These rules change often so check before you go.
