Everyday decorating ideas?
Keep sending me your ideas… this is so helpful. I am pleased and suprised that there is so much interest in everyday decorating. WHAT IS LACKING IN THE MAGAZINES ALREADY AVAILABLE THAT YOU THINK MATTHEW MEAD COULD ADD? Provide me some great details and comments because the publisher will ask. Matthew

Hi Matthew,
I did a post a while back grumbling about how the magazines almost always feature homes that are “high-end”, and their contents are not really attainable to the everyday homeowner on a family friendly budget. Well, the response was overwhelmingly in agreement, and the reactions quite passionate in their frustration! Of course we want to see what is out there, to inspire us, but a balance would be nice, too.
I think a hallmark of your style is using objects that are readily available (new or old), and your magazine could blaze some trails by featuring real homes, who achieve the look for so much less. I always laugh at those features where they do the “high/Low” thing. I am usually yelling at the pages, “Hah, I could do it for even LESS!”
I also think we have become tired of so much of the same. If I see one more kitchen that has been modelled after the one in the movie, Something’s Gotta Give…Don’t get me wrong, I know it is gorgeous, but I am tiring of seeing endless kitchens with cream cupboards, apron sinks, stainless steel appliances, and soapstone, or marble countertops. Yes, they are beautiful, but we’ve seen enough of it, and different is beautiful, too! It is getting so that one can predict exactly what they are going to see, with a few exceptions, when they flip open a magazine. I think the magazines need to inspire us more with do-able spaces, rahter than make us just WANT, or feel badly about what we do have.
Well, now that I have that off my chest, I’ll let someone else bend your ear.I can’t wait to hear what others have to say. This is a wonderful dialogue, Matthew, and I hope it leads somewhere. If there was ever a person to rescue us from the predictable, it’s you!!

I was excited that Victoria arrived back on the scene. Whenever I arrive at my daughter’s in France, the first magazine I buy is Campagne Decoration. If you can find one, buy it. Or let me know and I will forward one to you. Yum.

Do you ever see Marie Claire Idee? It is filled with great ideas. I have seen Campagne Decoration and I LOVE IT too. Matthew

Hi, Matthew. I have to agree with Linda. I think people want to see more homes, like theirs. More realistic type homes that the average person may have. My house, and the homes of a couple of my friends are on a tour every Christmas. They are your average home, no Mc Mansions here, but are decorated wonderfully (not to blow my own horn as we all get together and do the decorating). The people who come absolutely love this as they can see homes they can relate to. I think this is what people want to see. Each year we have more and more people coming. I think to have a magazine that showcases both the type of average homes we have, and also the homes we dream we had would be great!

I would love more ideas for children’s birthday parties. That could be something at any time of the year and you’re so halloween book was so incredibly creative and had so many ideas that kids would enjoy - I’m certain you would have some fabulous ideas for children’s birthday parties. There aren’t enough great ideas out there that haven’t been done before or tailor to the same old themes…
and yes, I believe that a Christmas 2009 issue is in high demand. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas.

I love the decor magazines, but there is no way I could ever pull off those styles. We have a small home, small kitchen, no spacious windows, small bathrooms etc. Remodeling is not an option, nor is buying all new furniture etc to spruce it up. I need ideas of how to shake up the spaces we really live in everyday. Furniture arrangements, color combinations, tricks for organizing in a stylish way, low cost options for making a big impact in terms of how the home looks. All white rooms, shined silver, blood red accent walls, not helping with my real life dilema of how to blend the needs of a active family home with something that makes me feel good about how it looks too. What to do when you can’t afford the designer price rugs, wallpaper, fabrics, matching storage containers, valted ceilings, and certainly can’t stage your home with breakable objects perched on the shelves? What kind of makeover can you pull off if you don’t have access to the fancy stores, miles of antique stores, a carpenter at the ready, and a loan to pay for it all? I seriously wonder what those magazine homes look like in real life when they aren’t staged for the camera. I for one like my home to be lived in, not staged for the next guest to enter the door. That’s not to say it couldn’t use some serious help like a magazine from you is sure to offer. Help those of us with limited resources pull off a dream room too Matthew!

Hi
I find the best free eight loss diet plan.
Breakfast
1 Serving of oatmeal. Use no calorie refrigerated butter spray, no calorie sugar,
1/2 cup of skimmed milk, 1 Tablespoon of REAL light brown sugar. Small orange
1 Cup of hot tea or coffee. For creamer, use the ‘Creamora’ type creamer (10 calories per spoon)
Snack
1/2 of any of the following: Hershey Bar, Hershey’s with almonds, Nestle’s Crunch, Kit Kat OR any candy bar that contains about 200 calories per bar. Eat only HALF. We’ll enjoy the rest tomorrow.
Lunch
1/2 can of your favorite soup. The ‘Chunky’ brand soups are very tasty and filling. Try the ‘Steak & Potatoes’ for a hearty meal! Your total should come in around 200 calories.
10 saltine crackers
1 cup of steamed veggies - add as much of the no calorie butter spray as you desire; salt and pepper to taste.
Smoothie - Take 1/2 cup of skimmed milk, 1/2 teaspoon of REAL vanilla, 1/4 cup of ice, and any of the following: 5 frozen strawberries OR 1/2 a banana OR a small handful of raspberries or blackberries OR 1/2 cup of frozen peaches. Next, use either a blender, your mixer or a stick mixer to combine the ingredients.
Dinner
1 small chicken breast that has been roasted in your oven. Add a bit of lemon and rosemary, if desired.
1 piece of fresh bread, warmed if desired. A nice trick is to spray your bread with butter flavored cooking spray, then sprinkle with garlic salt. If you don’t like garlic salt, then omit. Pop the bread into your toaster until warm and crisp.
1/2 baked potato - add as much of the no calorie butter spray as you desire, as well as parsley, then add salt and pepper.
2 cups of steamed veggies - add as much of the no calorie butter spray as you desire; salt and pepper to taste.
1 baked apple topped with 1 Tablespoon of light brown sugar, no calorie butter spray and a dash of cinnamon.

интимная пластика
Эстетическая хирургия в гинекологии Операционный зал Женской консультации № 22.
В Женской консультации № 22 выполняются все виды пластических операций по низким ценам с применением самых современных препаратов наркоза, бесплатный прием гинеколога-эндовидеохирурга Что же такое интимная хирургия? Интимная хирургия-отрасль, основанная на стыке нескольких профессий. Это и гинекология, и пластическая хирургия, и сексология, и психология, и психиатрия. На самом деле, прежде чем гинекологу определиться с показаниями к операции и объемом вмешательства, нужно решить, насколько вообще необходима пациентке операция. Перед операцией, кроме консультации гинеколога, может быть предложена консультация психолога или сексопатолога, так как нарушения интимной жизни могут быть вызваны и психологическими причинами.Специалисту нужно определиться: какова степень выявленных нарушений, действительно ли необходима операция или женщине может помочь консервативная терапия. Основные операции в интимной хирургии: пластика половых губ коррекция размеров влагалища (пластика влагалища) восстановление девственности. Пластика половых губ Чаще всего женщин не устраивает вид малых половых губ. Большинство женщин желает иметь маленькие половые губы, которые полностью прикрываются большими половыми губами. В ряде случаев, проблему можно решить при помощи увеличения объема больших половых губ, например, с помощью биополимерного геля. При этом происходит увеличение объема половых губ, сохраняющееся обычно в течение 2-3 лет. Потом манипуляцию необходимо повторять. Но чаще приходится проводить операцию на малых половых губах-резекцию, когда путем иссечения излишков ткани формируются малые половые губы того размера и формы, которые соответствуют эстетическим представлениям женщины. Пластика влагалища Чаще всего изменения женских половых органов происходят после родов, как, например, растяжение промежности и увеличение входа во влагалище, что часто приводит к потере былых ощущений во время секса. Интимная хирургия и в этом случае предлагает несложный выход - ушивание разреза на задней стенке влагалища, что приводит к уменьшению его размера. Противоположная проблема - сужение входа во влагалище, тоже результат родов, часто неудачных, с разрывом промежности. Образующиеся после этого рубцы и суживают вход во влагалище, что приводит к появлению боли во время сексуального контакта. В этом случае интимная хирургия предлагает пластику влагалища с восстановлением его естественного строения с помощью кожно-жирового лоскута. Эта операция обычно проводится женщинам, имевшим травматичные роды. После значительного растяжения стенок влагалища во время родов ткани не всегда могут сократиться до первоначального размера, в результате чего качество сексуальной жизни и женщины, и мужчины ухудшается. В этом случае прибегают к операции, уменьшающей размеры входа во влагалище, а также размеры самого влагалища-пластике влагалища. В другом случае, из-за старых рубцов, оставшихся после разрывов влагалища, происходит сужение входа во влагалище, что затрудняет половую жизнь, причиняет болезненные ощущения. В этом случае во время операции производится иссечение рубцовой ткани и восстановление проходимости влагалища за счет пластики. Операция также может проводиться как под местной, так и под общей анестезией. Послеоперационный период сходен с описанным выше. После пластики влагалища не рекомендуется сидеть в течение не менее 2 недель. Восстановление девственности Наиболее неоднозначной операцией в интимной хирургии является гименопластика - восстановление девственности. Пластический хирург может сшить слизистую оболочку таким образом, чтобы создать неплотное препятствие при входе во влагалище. Зачем подвергать себя повторному испытанию, учитывая современные нравы, не совсем понятно, но если операция существует, значит и сейчас кому-то важно надежно скрыть следы бурной молодости перед началом нового жизненного этапа. Но это - лишний повод порадоваться, что и здесь поможет интимная хирургия. Без сомнения, современные возможности интимной хирургии делают ее единственным выбором для устранения многих отклонений в области женских половых органов. Разрешение интимных комплексов, раскрепощение сексуальности, не скованной более никакими ограничениями - вот лучший результат интимной хирургии, лежащий в основе личного счастья и гармоничных взаимоотношений женщины и мужчины.

You may need to adjust some parts of your lifestyle causing this sexual problem. It is known that excessive smoking, overweight and decrease in physical activeness can result to erectile dysfunction. You can try to quit smoking, lose too much weight and increase your physical activeness. This is one of the effective natural remedies that work well for this condition.
