1. Gold Coast Weddings Magazine

Wedding Planner Document Downloads

http://www.goldcoastweddings.com/index.php?page=wedding-planning

This magazine is one of the Gold Coast’s leading bridal magazines that is also available as a website. Unlike the magazine, the website is more focused on giving details of vendors of wedding specialties on the Gold Coast such as florists and reception venues. There is a download section of the site where first time brides are able to download wedding planner checklists to help them plan their wedding. These checklists range from budget checklists, to a wedding week countdown checklist. It’s a great use for couples who have no idea where to start on their wedding planning.

2. The Bride’s Diary

Gold Coast Weddings

http://www.bridesdiary.com.au/reviews/reviewDetail.aspx?id=47

The Bride’s Diary is a complete listing of vendors over Australia; however it also includes reviews and articles on locations and other experiences. This link is for an article on the benefits of a Gold Coast wedding and what the Gold Coast has to offer. It promotes the coast in a positive light emphasizing the beauty of the beaches, the outdoors lifestyle, the great food and fashion and ready available accommodation. To read this kind of article would be a positive reinforcement to having a Gold Coast wedding because it really brings out the great values the Gold Coast has to offer.

In order to put together a Gold Coast wedding, it may be important to know what areas are around you and what areas would be nice for a wedding. This map on the site is useful for knowing what areas are surrounding and from there being able to look up the desired venue.

4. Australian Dream Weddings

This site aims at designing the perfect wedding right down to choosing a theme. An article within this site is on Gold Coast beach weddings.

An article such as this can give ideas to couples looking for the way to have the perfect Gold Coast wedding.

5. Gold Coast City Council

Beaches and Foreshore

http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/t_standard.aspx?pid=194

Gold Coast City Council has a section within their site about having a wedding on Gold Coast beaches. It is possible to organize a beach wedding without informing the council however it is recommended going to this council site and filling out an application for a beach wedding. It is a good idea for couples contemplating a beach wedding as this site can inform about what the requirements are for a beach wedding on the Gold Coast such as guest limit and environmental impact requirements.

6. Queensland Government

Department of Justice and Attorney General: Marriages

http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/765.htm

Another official part of any wedding is having a marriage certificate. These certificates can be obtained via the government. In order to obtain a certificate using the government website, couples must fill out an application form and follow the instructions on this site. For a government site this is very easy to navigate and gives very straightforward steps to attaining a marriage certificate.

http://www.queenslandbrides.com.au/features/realLifeWeddings/

The Queensland Brides is anther magazine with a website that gives you all the details of the magazine as well as articles from the magazine.

If someone has had a negative experience, it helps others to avoid such an experience.

8. Our Wedding Expo

Wedding Expos and Bridal Fairs

http://www.ourweddingexpos.com.au/qld.htm

The purpose of the wedding expo site is to give a full rundown on when wedding expos are being held, the cost and what is involved. This site is useful for couples who want to go to these expos but are unsure about when or where they are held. The site details what is in the expo and couples can know what to expect and have a reason to attend.

9. Australian Bridal Industry Academy

ABIA Award Finalists

http://www.abia.com.au/Supplier/qld-Winners-finalists-2006-7.html.html

Another prestigious bridal organization that runs bridal expos is the ABIA. This site lists events and suppliers in each state. Each year they present awards to the best in the industry and create a listing of those winners and runners up and post it on their site. This makes the site useful for finding accredited business with an organizational body behind them to reassure their credentials.

10. Weather.com.au

Gold Coast Weather

http://www.weather.com.au/qld/gold-coast

Although this site may seem to stray from the idea of a wedding, in the week leading up to the big day this site provides a forecast on the Gold Coast weather including the week outlook, detailed forecast, current conditions and a radar image of the Gold Coast. It is a very easy read site with the above mentioned links organized in a tabbed format. The descriptions are also very detailed and updated on a regular basis.

11. Gold Coast Airport

Airlines & Departing & Arriving Information

http://www.goldcoastairport.com.au/

This is a very useful site for couples with relatives travelling to the Gold Coast for their wedding. It provides details of departures and arrivals, car parking and transportation to and from the airport. It also provides links to the airlines that use the Gold Coast Airport.

12. Freeman Weddings

Hot Air Balloon Wedding: Gold Coast

http://www.freemanx.com.au/weddings/experiences_detail.cfm?prodid=371

For a less traditional take on the perfect Gold Coast wedding, hot air balloon is another option. This is a unique service offered on the Gold Coast, with the site providing all the necessary information about guests, attire, cost and availability. A very organized layout makes it simple for out there couples to book their hot air balloon wedding and even gives a profile on the company and the pilots they employ to fly the hot air balloon. I think having these details gives peace of mind to customers and wedding guests.

13. I do.com

Wedding Reception Venues

http://weddingvenues.i-do.com.au/brisbane/

This site gives a listing of venues in all areas of Queensland however it includes some of the Gold Coast’s finest venues. It is a very neat site with listings able to be bookmarked and offering a small blurb on each venue. Unfortunately there is no accompanying image with the name of the venues, but when clicked on the website of the venue opens in a new window for the viewer to get a the proper site. This makes it better for couples who might be wary about using information off an affiliated site and prefer to use the proper venue site.

14. Bride Online

Weddings on a Budget

http://www.brideonline.com.au/articles/budgetweddings.htm

I found an article on this site with useful information on the actual budget for a wedding with suggestions on how to keep costs to a minimum. In a situation where a couple may not have all that much to spend on their big day, this article gives pointers to let couples have that fantastic day and not be completely broke afterwards. I think having suggestions on how to cut costs can be very useful for the money conscious pair who still want to have a good time and be able to afford to live after the big day.

15. Beyond the Bride

Wedding Forums: Wedding Budget

http://www.beyondthebride.com.au/forum/whole-wedding-budget-164.html

Forums are a fantastic way to gather opinions from others who have already been down the aisle. This forum is a query on budgets and what a couple should expect to be paying in this day in age. I like this forum for the fact that there are a range of answers from all different years people were married and it gives a couple an idea of how the times have changed with budgets but it also gives them hints on what to plan for that they may not have factored into the budget.

16. Gillet’s Jewellers

Ladies Wedding Rings Advice

http://gilletts.com.au/information.php?info_id=43

This is an article from one of the top jewelers in Queensland about how to find the right ring. As a part of the ceremony, this article informs on how to find the perfect wedding ring to compliment your engagement ring as well as a comprehensive list of shapes, sizes and designs that couples can choose from. I found that having images to accompany this list makes it a perfect site for brides to gain an idea of what they are after before they buy and gives an insight into how to really find the perfect ring.

17. Bride Online

Wedding Planning- and Wedding Planners

http://www.brideonline.com.au/WeddingPlanners/

Another useful article from the Bride Online is for the busier woman who doesn’t have the time to put every detail of a wedding together. Although it’s only a small blurb on wedding planners, I like the fact that it includes a great deal of information in a short space. I also though it was great that at the top of the page there are links for wedding planners in designated areas.

18. Wedding Celebrant Nicole Brown

Weddings

http://www.nicolebrowncelebrant.com/services.htm#weddings

This wedding celebrant offers a very detailed site with information not only on her own services but for what can be included in a service, legal aspects of a service and where to hold a service. I found her wedding section to be very informative and I liked that there were images of wedding she has been involved in, it gave the site a feel of authenticity. I also liked that she included every aspect of a wedding into her page giving it an organized, professional look.

19. Your Wedding

Flowers: Colours, Seasons & Meanings

http://www.yourwedding.com.au/wedding-advice/flowers-colours-seasons-and-meanings.html

A constructed table of different flowers, the colours they come, when they are available and the meaning behind that flower. For a prospective bride this is a great way to but together a bouquet by having a idea of colours in your wedding and when your getting married. It is also a good way to know what the meaning is behind the flowers you want in your bouquet. I think the concept behind this article is great, but it is let down by the fact that there are no accompanying images so brides will have to take the flower name and find the accompanying image elsewhere.

20. Blossoms

Wedding Bouquets

http://www.blossoms.com.au/index.php?module=pagesetter&func=viewpub&tid=4&pid=20

For a florist web site, this is a very informative and well constructed article, which would gain plenty of customer interest. This article has listed all the styles of bouquets available to brides for their weddings and has given a small description on each with recommendations on suitability. The part I like best is that there are accompanying images so the customer knows what to expect.

21. Wedding Blog

Bomboniere ideas for all Weddings

http://weddingblog.com.au/bomboniere-boxes/bomboniere-ideas-for-all-weddings/#more-177

When I heard first heard the word ‘bomboniere’ I thought it was made up. But after a search I found an article that tells you what bomboniere is (wedding favours), and how to pick the right bomboniere to give to guests and the end of the wedding. I found this article to be simple and to the point with some good idea for couples including money saving ideas.

22. The Wedding Band

Tips & Tricks

http://www.theweddingband.com.au/tips.html

This is a site for a Gold Coast based company simply titled Wedding Band that can be hired to play for weddings. The site appearance is not exactly appealing however there is a section called tips and tricks, with some humorous and logical ideas for the wedding day which I think couples would enjoy reading when looking for the perfect music for their big day.

23. Wedding Marquees- Gold Coast

Wedding Marquee Planner

http://www.weddingmarquees.com.au/html/mplanner_content.html

I came across this site when looking at the different wedding services available in the Gold Coast. Wedding Marquees Gold Coast is such an up to date site it even has a program within the site where you can design your marquee layout. This is a fantastic program which lets you drag items you would have into the marquee and organize exactly how you want it.

24.  Your Local Wedding Guide

Preserving Your Day

http://www.weddingguide.com.au/articlesadvice/planning/preservingyourday.aspx

This would be a great site for the end of the wedding once the stress is out the way. This article provides information and ideas on how to preserve the wedding bouquet and other items from the wedding and make them into memories. I found the article had some thoughtful ideas and some sentimental ideas that brides would find touching after their wedding.

25. Wedding Update!

Latest

http://weddingupdate.oneperfectday.com.au/?p=23

I found an article within this site about timing of a ceremony which I thought was very detailed and gives couples an idea of how they could plan their night. There is a recommended layout of how exactly the night should run which I found was really informative and could be handy when planning the reception.

26. Squidoo

Great Ideas for Beach Themed Wedding Cakes

http://www.squidoo.com/beach-wedding-cakes

If you’re having a Gold Coast Wedding, what better a theme for your cake than the beach! I found page full of beach wedding cake ideas that can be used as inspiration for your own wedding cake. The pictures are fantastic and have only the best most detailed cakes on show, however there is no option for enlarging the pictures to get a better look.

27.  Itsmywedding.com

Top 20 First Dance Songs

http://www.itsmywedding.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=80

Sometimes the random articles in a site can be the most interesting. This page lists 20 of the top favorite songs a newlywed couple’s first dance together. There is a mix to suit everyone and I find sites with this sort of information good for jogging the mind. Top lists always seem to be a popular favourite on websites and this one is no different.

28. Hens Party.com

Hen’s games and fun

http://www.hensweekend.com.au/hens_night_games_funstuff.html

A Hen’s night is the ultimate night out for a stressed out bride to be. There is a site completely dedicated to putting together wild hen’s nights and they have also added an article on games to make the hen’s night that much more fun. The games they list are pretty funny and not too out there which means prospective brides could actually use them. It’s good to find a site like this for some fun that isn’t too extreme, considering a majority of people are not willing to go too crazy before their big day. It’s also a very fun and colourful site to look through.

29. Online Wedding Boutique.com

Choosing the Perfect Wedding Dress

http://www.onlineweddingboutique.com.au/articles_tips-article-choosing_the_perfect_wedding_dress

Having the perfect dress is central to making any wedding the best. This article is all about how to find the gown to suit your needs. All the separate areas to take into to consideration are broken down and explained and accompanying images on the side give the reader that fuzzy feeling about marriage. I think that more images to accompany the text would have worked well for this site but other than that there is plenty of great information.

30. Wedding Invitations by Tango Design

Beach Wedding Theme

http://www.tangodesign.com.au/site/838692/page/880022

Although this is a site for invitations, it includes a great write up about how to create a Beach theme for a wedding. For a Gold Coast wedding, the beach theme is usually the way to go, and this site tell exactly how to do that from the invites down to the cake. The information is great and even the recommendation of products is slipped in the middle well to give readers an idea on what to get to make that theme possible.

I finally began to understand my role as a mother only after I gave birth to my third daughter. I learned that it s my responsibility to accept credit whenever it is due, such as being able to raise beautiful (from the inside-out), well-mannered, respectful, caring, and loving girls. I finally learned how to take pride in my gifts and talents by graciously accepting a compliment, rather than pushing them off with the typical nay, are you kidding? No way that s not me whatever! As women, we re so used to giving, that we can t even accept a compliment worse yet, we feel guilty, or obliged to give one right back.

Then, I finally understood WHY we need to say Thank You it s an acknowledgement to someone s compliment. I also reply with God has willed . I continue to acknowledge that my good fortune is a gift from God, and I praise and thank Him for these blessings. By remaining humble, I also ask for His protection from any evil that may result from the misuse of these gifts. For example, if one is granted money and abuses it, they may lose it tomorrow. If one is granted beauty and arrogance overcomes them, then they may be physically harmed. I also acknowledge the need for protection against the ill-intentions of the ungrateful, such as the jealous, envious, spiteful, or unkind.

As women, we don t pride or boost ourselves of our honors, awards, or good fortune, and we need to start. At the very least we need to acknowledge our self-worth by accepting a compliment confidently. As a starting point, try at least acknowledging God for granting these gifts. By saying God has willed you will soon feel the power of your own inner-beauty. As for those women who accept compliments a-bit too well, try replying with God has willed to treasure your humility a little more.

Ponn s Personal Pointers: As for giving appropriate credit when it s due: when someone remarks about my physical makeup, I reply God has willed and add very confidently, I ll thank my parents for you . After all, it wasn t my genes that gave me my looks.

Oh my gosh, today was one of those bad eating days and in my mind I’m counting the calories. How many were in that fudgecicle? Plus, I had a little extra chili today at lunch. Oh and don’t forget that piece of chocolate…or two. Then I wreak havoc on my brain, talking to myself and saying calories in vs. calories out. Eating all of these extras without burning them off isn’t the fastest healthiest way to lose weight. This won’t get me to my goal. And then once again I’ve given in to “the diet mind game” and forgot to love me through the fall off the wagon. I think we’ve all been there. We are all looking for the fastest healthiest way to lose weight and when we have a rough day we beat ourselves and cover ourselves with a blanket of guilt. Well you know, sometimes we just have to say no to that mind game and just love ourselves through a bad day. How we treat ourselves emotionally when we diet is another piece of the puzzle that’s a part of the fastest healthiest way to lose weight.

See how we feel about ourselves when we diet and how we treat ourselves when we stumble applies to healthy weight loss too. Although we wouldn’t normally think about it like that. The healthy part in this instance applies to our mental and emotional well being. Do we love ourselves in the beginning of the diet? Will we love ourselves in the middle of the diet, so that we can love ourselves when the diet is over and you’re on a maintenance cycle.

For the fastest healthiest way to lose weight to be effective, first you must say “Hey world, this is me and I’m a beautiful person. I’m fixing to make some changes. But no matter what the new person looks like it’s still me. God didn’t make a mistake and I’m somebody special.” You truly need to be okay with you. Doing so means that you won’t take any drastic unhealthy measures to lose weight. Plus you’ll avoid the guilt and anxiety and off day can bring. That allows you to get back up on the horse to get started the next day and help keep you on the path to achieving your goals.

The other part to consider is what happens when the fastest healthiest way to lose weight got you at your perfect fitness and now you are in your maintenance mode.

Another piece of the puzzle is a belief in the idea that you can lose weight. If you’ve had a less successful nutrition day than what your diet plan calls for, chances are that if you beaten yourself up for slippin’, you’ve also questioned your ability to even reach your goal. That’s human nature but it’s also like kicking yourself when you’re down. And when you doubt yourself, you limit your chances of success. If you say to yourself after a little indulgence that it’s okay and tomorrow will be a better day, I can do this. You’ve increased your success potential ten fold. Goals are accomplished because people believe they CAN not when they think they can’t.

So if you have a bad day, like we all do just remember….no one is perfect and tomorrow is a new day. You’ll get back on that horse called the “fastest healthiest way to lose weight”.

To your highest success,

Well! I’m mostly healed. Just a twinge in the left knee from time to time. Must have been my very busy summer. We did a fair bit of walking which could only help right?

We went to the Yukon, via Edmonton where we spent a few days visiting, and took lots of great pictures. Then, after we got back, spent time in Winnipeg at Folklorama, attended a wedding here in Neepawa and finally took a trip up to Hecla Island Resort.

I’m back to work now. I’ve been mulling over what to do with this blog and I’ve decided to use it to keep you up to date with what I’m doing and to act as a hub for many interests. For instance, Andy has his very own Squidoo page. The link is to the right. Other links there are for the websites and pages of the people who inspire me and keep me working away.

If there is something that you would like to suggest please do, and I appreciate any feedback.

Lately I have been exploring the world of Internet Marketing and there are many resource links here that may assist if you are considering getting into that. I am NOT an expert, but I can steer you to some really great folks, who are.

That’s it for now. Watch for my Squidoo page, coming soon. Oh! and I’ll be uploading my own photo’s to Flickr soon. Watch for them.

The fastest healthiest way to lose weight has everything to do with your diet. It is essentially all about what you eat, when you eat and how much you eat. Monitoring those three facets of nutrition will help you reach your weight loss goals. Exercise does play it’s role in weight loss and overall heart health and muscle strenth but when it comes right down to it, losing weight is about burning more calories than you consume.

To find out your daily caloric expense account, first you need to know how many calories you burn in a day. This number does fluctuate dependant on your lifestyle. Are you physically active or a sedentary person? The more active you are, the more calories you need to keep your engine running. The site, www.mypyramid.gov, is a terrific site for helping with this calculation.

The second step in this process is to determine the number of calories you consume in a day. Again, mypyramid.gov has a food tracker tab to assist with this. For the most accurate number, be sure to include everything from your daily consumption.

Substract the number of calories burned from the number ingested. A negative result should allow for a pat on the back and congratulations are in order. A positive result means you have an excess of calories and they are most likely being stored as fat. The ultimate outcome would be weight gain. Fluctuation of similar positive and negative numbers through the course of time simply means a maintenance of the current weight you are sitting at now.

Some tips to help you with your caloric intake and expenditure:

A. Keep a food journal and write everything down, including spreads on your sandwich, sauces and dressings to top your food, gum you chew, etc. Sometimes this alone is a big eye opener.

B. Start an exercise plan if you don’t already have one and note not only the type and length of the activity but the intensity as well. No sense working out if you’re not putting any effort into it. The effect of no effort means no results

C. Avoid late night snacking binges.

D. Avoid using modern conveniences such as automatic doors and open them manually when possible.

E. Only eat when you are hungry.

F. Avoid using food toppings such as mayo, A1, sour cream, etc., or at least cut down on the amount used or use reduced fat forms.

Eating right is the fastest healthiest way to lose weight. And there are many things you can do to assist in healthy eating habits and achieve your weight loss goals.

There’s more than one type of fat in our bodies (one of them you can’t even see!)–and what you don’t know about them could seriously damage your health When the Flat Belly Diet experts talk about belly fat, it’s important to know that there are actually two different types: subcutaneous and visceral.

Subcutaneous is best defined as the fat that you can see, the “inch you can pinch.” Subcutaneous means “beneath” (sub) “the skin” (cutaneous ), and it’s no secret that this fat resides all over. In some places–your thighs, underarms, belly–it may be thicker than in others, but for the most part it’s everywhere, even on the soles of your feet.

A moderate amount of subcutaneous fat is essential for life–for one thing, it keeps you warm in the winter. But too much of it can be bad, starting with the fact that subcutaneous fat functions as a visible sign of being overweight or obese. Worse, it makes us lose confidence in our body image (which studies show leads to even more dangerous health behaviors). The good news is that subcutaneous fat responds immediately to the Flat Belly Diet

What also distinguishes the Flat Belly Diet is that it targets the second type of fat–visceral–which is much more dangerous and difficult to lose. Visceral fat (which gets its name from viscera, which refers to the internal organs in the abdomen) resides deep within the torso, wrapping itself around your heart, liver, and other major organs. In fact, it’s possible to be relatively thin and still have too much visceral fat. That’s why it’s sometimes referred to as “hidden” belly fat, but we prefer to think of it as “deadly.” Excess visceral fat can literally subtract years from your life.

How does this happen? Carrying excess visceral fat is one of a complex group of symptoms collectively called Metabolic Syndrome, or Syndrome X. The other symptoms are high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and elevated insulin levels. Having just one of these conditions contributes to your risk of serious disease, but your risk grows exponentially as the number of symptoms grows.

Visceral fat has been linked to a long list of adverse health conditions, including:

High blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease
High cholesterol
Diabetes
Breast cancer
Dementia

One of the main reasons visceral fat is so deadly is because of its role in inflammation, a natural immune response that has lately been tied to almost every chronic disease there is. Visceral fat secretes precursors to an inflammatory chemical that helps fuel the systemic process that exacerbates early symptoms of disease.

In fact, according to a study published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, visceral fat may have a greater impact on the cardiovascular health of older women than does overall obesity. Danish researchers found that women with excessive belly fat had a greater risk of atherosclerosis than those whose fat was stored mostly in their hips, thighs, and buttocks. Here’s why:

The proximity of visceral fat to your liver boosts production of LDL cholesterol (the “bad” one), which collects in your arteries and forms plaque, a waxy substance.

Over time, this waxy plaque becomes inflamed, causing swelling that narrows the arteries, restricting the passage of blood.

The narrowing passageways increase blood pressure, straining your heart and potentially damaging tiny capillaries.

The inflammation further increases your risk of blood clots, which can break loose and cause stroke.

But it gets worse. Visceral fat also contributes to insulin resistance, an early precursor to diabetes. Insulin resistance is a condition in which cells do not respond to insulin and the pancreas is forced to increase production in order to clear the bloodstream of glucose. Over time, insulin resistance can lead to full-blown diabetes, which can severely comprise the entire circulatory system and cause long-term issues with vision, memory, and wound healing.

As if that weren’t enough, a Kaiser Permanente study comparing people with different levels of belly fat showed that those who had the most belly fat were 145 percent more likely to develop dementia compared with people with the least amount of belly fat. Why? Inflammation again, suggest investigators.

These science-based studies should be reason enough to motivate you to shed your belly fat forever. But even if you reduce calories and exercise regularly, you can still be left with too much hidden visceral fat. What is the answer? By focusing on the research, we’ve discovered that the only way to minimize both visceral and subcutaneous fat is by eating the right kind of …fat. Studies have shown that a core group of healthy fats–monounsaturated fats that we call MUFAs (pronounced moo-fah ), are the key to shedding both subcutaneous and the deadly visceral fact.
