Plus Size String Bikinis - How to Shop For Them and How to Save Money in the Process
Plus size string bikinis and swimwear are available in so many colors, styles, and sizes these days, that shopping is simplified, especially when you shop online and take advantage of all the discounted prices.
Whether you wear an extra large, 1x, 2x, or larger, you can easily purchase bikinis that flatter your voluptuous body. While Hollywood fashion designers might try to trick you into thinking that thin is in, when you talk to various groups of men, you will quickly learn that many men prefer women who are not just skin and bones.
One of the best choices for a plus size bikini wearer is the string bikini. It's a derivative of the full brief bikini, but it rests high on the thighs and gives the plus size woman full coverage of her tummy. Even if a woman has large thighs, a string bikini complements the leg. In some circles, this type of bikini bottom in called a Tanga. Think of it as a bikini that gives you more back support.
When shopping for string bikinis, the plus size woman should look for solid colors rather than prints, florals, or stripes. Although bright yellows, oranges, and reds tend to attract attention to the bikini wearer, if you walk tall, and hold your head back, you will have the same flare that skinny runway models have. It's all in the perception and a reflection of how confident you feel while wearing your string bikini.
Of importance, is that as a plus size woman, you should choose a bikini bottom that is not a thong; rather, select a Lycra or stretch fabric that is ample for your body size, but that does not totally skimp on the coverage. The strings that tie high on your thighs will draw the eye upward.
Definitely, after you've purchased your body-flattering bikini, try to resist covering your body with a pareo or a large swimsuit wrap. To enhance your body style, choose a spa-type beach robe in a very light color and fabric that doesn't tie with a sash around your waist.
In addition, most Internet-based swimwear sites have a sizing chart with recommended bathing suit styles and colors to choose from. Look at the selections with the photos of women who have body styles similar to yours before making your buying decisions. Most online swimwear sites make it easy to see the colors, styles, and sizes that suit your body type.
Further, many online bikini swimwear sites have a section especially for those women who wish to choose a figure shaper bikini-bust minimizer, tummy appearance reducer, slimmer looking hips, and so forth. Check out all the categories online before making your selections. It's easier to shop online to get what you want, than it is to spend hours at the mall and coming home disappointed with the limited selection at the stores.

No matter if you about to stringlights on an outdoor tree as a Christmas decoration or as a year round decoration, there are a few things that you may want to know that will make the task much easier. First, stringlights on an outdoor tree is not just a Christmas decoration. Many shopping centers, hotels and other businesses use clear stringlights on outdoor trees throughout the entire year. Many homeowners are doing the same because the stringlights on outdoor trees provide peaceful and soothing lighting while adding beauty to their landscape.
Before you rush to the store to purchase of these lights for your outdoor tree, there is a couple of things that you should do first that will possibly save you time later on. First, you will obviously want to decide which tree or trees that you plan on decorating with the stringlights. Because they require electricity, you should locate the nearest power outlet and determine the length of the extension cord that you will need. Next, using any type of string, wrap the string around the tree where you would like the lights to go. Then measure the string to determine the length of light that you will need for your outdoor tree. Doing those two things add very little time to your project, but it may save you an extra trip or two to the store later on. Besides using a ladder, a PVC pipe can make adding the lights to an outdoor tree much, much easier. Depending on the height of the tree, pick up a suitable length of PVC pipe that will reach the top of the tree. Normally a 10 foot PVC pipe is around 2 dollars. You will need to add a simple hook to one end of the PVC pipe. A clothes hanger or any heavy duty wire will work. Once you have your list complete, shopping for the lights on string will be easy because there will be no guessing work on what lengths to buy.
Now that you have everything that you need, you should be ready to add the lights on your outdoor tree. Before you add any lights, you should plug them in first to make sure that they all work. Once you are ready, start at the top of the tree. You can either use a ladder or the PVC pipe to reach the top of the tree. Then as you work your way down, you will want to circle the lights around the outdoor tree. The space between each row of stringlights does not have to be perfect. Once the lights are wrapped all the way down your outdoor tree, you will want to tuck the stringlights into the tree, just a little bit. If you live in a windy area, you may need to secure the stringlights with small pieces of wire. Once it gets dark, it will be easier to make the necessary adjustments. The end result will be beautiful stringlights on an outdoor tree that provide a soothing lighting effect to your yard.

Unique Wedding Decoration Ideas - Use Wedding Lights as Part of Your Decor
Planning a wedding means making some big decorating decisions. Using wedding lights will add ambiance, brilliance and romance to your wedding decor. Here are some of the choices available to make your special day shine.
WEDDING LIGHT DISPLAYS
Add a dramatic and elegant touch to your wedding décor using wedding light displays.
Wedding light displays come in a variety of styles and colors. Some favorites include bells, doves and hearts. There are also roses and even cupid styles. Just plug them in and you've got a spectacular lighted wedding decoration.
Most wedding light displays are for indoor or outdoor use making them an easy way to decorate. Place one above the wedding party's table, over the entry way to the reception area or near the dance floor. Accent them with some stringlights on white wire and you've got a truly beautiful wedding decoration.
As an added benefit, wedding light displays can also be used at Christmas or Valentine's Day. Once you see how beautiful these displays are, they will be the first decoration up next holiday season!
BATTERY OPERATED MINI WEDDING LIGHTS
There are two varieties of these wedding lights; incandescent or LED.
If you are using floral table centerpieces, then battery operated mini lights make the perfect accent. Nest them in your floral arrangement and turn them on. They turn an ordinary bouquet into an exquisite centerpiece.
Battery operated mini wedding lights are a great accent anywhere you want to add sparkle. Intertwine them with some white garland around windows or table tops a shimmering effect. Here's an easy wedding decoration idea. Buy an 18 inch grapevine wreath, some small dried flowers (like baby's breath) and wide white ribbon. Secure the battery pack to the back and weave the lights around the wreath. Next attach bunches of the dried flowers over the lights and wreath. Wrap the ribbon around the top to hang and you have an elegant lighted wedding decoration.
One safety consideration using battery operated incandescent mini wedding lights; they run hot so use caution when placing them near flammable materials for extended periods of time.
WEDDING STRINGLIGHTS
Clean and classic, these wedding lights add luminescence and elegance to your wedding décor. Their decorating uses are limited only by your imagination.
White wedding lights are available in incandescent or LED and come in mini, globe, C6, C7 and C9 styles. The difference between incandescent and LED is economy and safety. LED wedding lights are more expensive but run cooler than incandescent. LED lights also use about 80% less electricity than incandescent, so they pay for themselves over time. Also, LED wedding lights have a much longer bulb life than incandescent, reducing the expense of replacing worn out stringlights. With the right accessories, LED wedding lights make a brilliant ceiling-to-floor display or a wonderful accent to the rope light sculptures.
Mini wedding stringlights are best used as accents around windows and doors. If you are planning an outdoor wedding these lights make great arbor accents. Nesting them in the arbor's foliage creates a starry canopy for the bride and groom.
Here's a quick and easy wedding decoration idea. Loosely wrap (like a cigar) a string of LED mini wedding lights in tulle and place along the edge of a table top. You've created a gorgeous wedding decoration in just a few minutes.
Globe, C6, C7 and C9 wedding lights are best for exterior or perimeter applications. Globe wedding lights come in two sizes (G12 and G25). Globe wedding lights can be used as room accents like around the tops of walls or windows.
No matter what type of wedding lights you use, it is a good idea to buy an extra strand or two just in case of emergencies (the nervous bride will be forever grateful). Also, plug all the lights in to ensure they are working properly. A little preventative measure goes a long way.
Keep your wedding decorating tasks minimal and still make your guests think you've spent countless hours creating the perfect atmosphere. Wedding lights make it possible. With a little imagination and lots of fun, you'll have the perfect look for your special day!

Nascar Party Lights - Practical But Fun
One of the fastest growing sports today is Nascar racing. While I am a gigantic sports fan, Nascar was not something that I paid a lot of attention to in the past. However, with Danica Patrick making the move from Indy car racing to Nascar, I may just become a big Nascar fan after all. As I speak with other fans of racing, they seem to indicate that having a favorite driver is what really holds your interest in the sport, so I guess it is the same as having a favorite baseball or football team in that sense. Like some big football fans hold Super Bowl parties, Nascar fans hold race parties. Of course, these Nascar parties, like all parties, require decorations. Since lighting has become a big part of any occasion, could Nascar party lights be far behind? Of course not.
I would expect that anyone decorating for a racing party would begin much the same as a fan of any other sport. You adorn your home with memorabilia of your favorite team in addition to the normal team logo items that are available. I am also sure that you utilize some images and logos of Nascar as a whole so that your guests are not too put off if they happen not to be a fan of the same driver and race team as you.
When I thought about where to go to purchase Nascar party lights, I began with a search of the Internet and started at Amazon.com. What I found was a couple of generic offerings of stringlights that included lights depicting checkered flags and a red and white race car. These and the other stringlights I found consist of a ten light set with alternating covers on a twelve foot lightstring. Much like your usual string Christmas lights, they are constructed like an extension cord so up to two additional sets of stringlights can be added. Also available at Amazon are stringlights that are white covers with a driver's number painted in black. These seem rather bland for a sport that likes to paint its cars in all kinds of flashy colors and schemes. Besides that, they do not have the Danica Patrick model so I decided to move on.
A further search of the Internet did yield some better results as far as finding light strings with covers depicting more authentically painted cars of some favorite drivers. However, the strings are not as long but do contain the same number of lights. The cars my initial search found belonged to drivers such as Matt Kenseth, Jimmy Johnson and Carl Edwards. I am sure a more thorough search will produce results locating the cars of most of the more popular drivers. Since my search has yet to locate the Danica Patrick stringlights I am looking for, I will continue to hold off on the purchase of my Nascar party lights until sometime in the future when Danica makes her way to the senior circuit and becomes more of a main stream driver than just another pretty face.

The Holiday season is the best time of year, decorating my home and the Christmas Tree. So how do you stringlights on a Christmas Tree? On we go to the fine art of stringing Christmas Lights on our Trees....and yes, it can be considered an art. And to some a fine art.
Make sure that before you begin, to have everything you need on hand. This will eliminate not having something you need while you are the ladder. So we will begin with the ladder, make sure you have a sturdy step ladder or small ladder handy. You will need this while you are wrapping the upper branches, even with a small tree, being on a ladder makes stringing your lights much easier.
You will obviously need your lights, an extension cord if the socket is not close or a step on off/on switch cord, makes lighting your tree easier and some patience.
Would you be surprised to know that it is recommended that you start stringing your Christmas Tree lights at the bottom? We had always started at the top. Reason being...you can follow the electrical outlet with the string of lights and not have too much or too little left over from stringing from the top. Never thought of it that way before. You will also be able to start with the correct male/female connections, ever stringlights and end up with two female ends?
When decorating your Christmas Tree, always start with the lights. The lights are first thing that should be put on before garland or ornaments. Before you start, make sure that the lights are in working order, nothing worse than putting the lights on the tree and half the strand is not working.
As you string your lights use a weaving motion one light under a branch and the next light over, under and over. Tuck the cord into the branches so the cord does not show.
Estimate your space as you work your lights into the branches, stagger and space your rows so that there are no bare spots or clumps of lights together. Be especially careful not to clump the lights together at the top of the tree. The top of the tree should be the showplace for your topper.
If you decide you need more lights on your Christmas Tree, use additional strands and repeat the process of weaving from the top of the tree to the bottom.
Not sure how many lights you need, a quick rule of thumb is to take the height of your tree and times by 10. For example, a six foot tree would approximately 60 feet...I know I go way overboard on the amount of lights on my tree but just can't help it.
Now that you have finished stringing and are satisfied with the lights on your Christmas Tree, it is time to decorate your decorate your tree with ornaments, garland and whatever tickles your fancy....

Miracle Legion Mr Spaceman
READ INFO: Miracle Legion: "Mr. Space Man" from Time Between - A Tribute to the Byrds Lyrics: Woke up this morning with light in my eyes And then realized it was still dark outside It was a light coming down from the sky I don't know who or why Must be those strangers that come every night Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight Leave blue-green footprints that glow in the dark I hope they get home all right Refrain Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along I won't do anything wrong Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along for a ride Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared Over my window, they'd written my name Said, so long, we'll see you again
The scientific definition of light is--a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation between 3,800 and 7,600 angstrom units to which the retina of the eye is sensitive and a part of the electromagnetic spectrum the brain interprets. That physical response of our eyes reacting to light, long before it could be defined as retina and wavelength, has engendered a light-defined vocabulary over centuries. For example, when we talk about the physical properties of light, we talk of, "the light at the end of the tunnel," "by the light of the moon."
LIGHT AND DARK LANGUAGE
The concept of light peppers our language. For the most part, these definitions are of a positive nature and refer to uplifting, pleasant, awe-inspiring, spiritual or burden-relieving expressions. It is easy to see that there is a correlation between the physical effect of light and the meaning of the word. The very life-giving properties and powers of light are reflected in the use of light in language to evoke specific feelings and emotions. Here are some familiar examples:
Mental illumination--"He saw the light and understood the parable."
Positive profile -- "They saw her in a favorable light."
Passion -- "C'mon baby, light my fire."
Positive attitude--"I decided to make light of the burdensome problem."
Spiritual revelation -- "Brother, do you see the Light?
Euphoria -- "Feeling light-headed."
Positive influence -- "You light up my life."
Of course, the same correlation between the physical manifestation and language exists in reverse with the word "dark." Some examples include:
Lack of understanding--'I am completely in the dark."
Evil-- "A dark plan to murder him."
Lacking knowledge or information --"Kept in the dark."
Inability to comprehend --""Through a glass darkly."
ANCIENT LIGHT It is the ancient daily transition from day to night and from night to day that has, for thousands of years, enriched our language and cultures with hundreds of references to light (and dark.) And the ancient assignments of positive and negative to light and dark remain.
The period between the 5th and 8th centuries following the fall of Rome are referred to as the Dark Ages. A more contemporary terminology now defines this period as the Early Middle Ages. It was characterized by Muslin conquests, religious conflicts and a void of cultural and literary achievements.
ELECTRIC LIGHT
The advent of electric light has appended these references with new words, such as light bulb, black light, neon light, fluorescent light, LED light, landscape light and street light. The hope of Christmas which began with a star in the heavens, has evolved to the
lights we string in our Christmas trees. And, conceptually, the iconic symbol of a light bulb represents an idea or inspiration. The lighting industry today is undergoing a major change. The need to reduce costs in lighting and the introduction of compact fluorescent lighting into the industry has made it a forerunner in the movement towards green power. This is, again, a verification of the positivity of meaning of light and how it impacts our lives.
NEGATIVE LIGHT
It is highly probable that the undesirable side effects of light--sunburn, heat stroke, heat rash, blinded by light, lightning, etc. will remain minimal compared to the hundreds of positive references that the phenomena of light has engendered. To date, the principle negative reference to light is the lack of it--or darkness.
LIGHT AND LITE
Defining the meaning of light in contemporary terms brings us to a new usage and spelling of light--lite. Lite has come into public usage by virtue of many products and the frequent advertising of them. Products containing the word "lite" are mainly focusing on our worries of being overweight and unattractive. Today there is lite beer, lite butter spread and lite snacks of every variety, to name a few. Manufacturers of "lite" products want us to think that consuming those products will keep us from adding those extra pounds that we accumulate every year. They assure us that we are doing the right thing by eating food with less fat, sugar, etc. and therefore are living a healthier life.
FUTURE LIGHT
What will be future applications of light in meaning and language? With global warming, surely light from solar energy will become a viable power source, reducing our need for fossil fuels. LED lights (light emitting diodes), which we are used to seeing in our dashboards, light switches, and computers are slowly and steadily growing to become more powerful in illumination. Research in LED technology is developing towards increasing LED light output. One advantage of LED's is that they produce a "cold light" with no wasted of energy. To date, LED's cannot match the bright white light of incandescent fluorescent bulbs. But bright, white LED light is on the horizon. It may be that, in the near future, a couple, with lovelights in their eyes, will be LED to the altar.

Icy Outdoor Christmas Decorations
I have found a way that you can transform your landscape in to an icy Christmas wonderland for pennies. If you have water and a freezer you can create a look that is very elegant and classic or whimsical and fun depending on the garnishment you use. These decorating ideas will survive longer in northern climates; however the icy touches on patios and centerpieces in a warmer climate will be a refreshing look for a holiday party.
Luminaries
A beautiful inexpensive and impressive way to light a path to your door is luminaries. The whole paper bag with a candle always seemed a bit risky but here is an easy solution that is safe and makes a great statement.
Ice luminaries
Supplies:
1. 2 containers one smaller than the other, I have used everything from milk cartons to plastic bowls that nest inside each other. You can use just about any container and add a balloon with a rock in it for weight. The important thing is that one container is bigger than the other.
2. Water
3. Freezer, outside works if it's cold enough.
4. Various greens, berries, etc.
Pour water in the larger container, put smaller container inside. You want water to be on all sides as equal as possible as well as under the smaller container. You will need to weight the top container as it will usually try to float. Add greenery, berries, sticks or any other embellishments you want to the water between the containers. This is optional. Your luminary will be pretty either way.
Put them in the freezer at least over night, the time needed will be determined by how thick the layer of water is between the two containers. When completely frozen remove the smaller container, add some warm water to the smaller container if you are having trouble taking it out. If you used a balloon for the center can just pop it. Add a candle and presto, changeo you have a luminary.
Just a side note: One year I made them votive size and put them in a tray with fresh greenery and roses for a centerpiece. They look great and help keep the greenery and flowers watered.
You can also make Ice Globes; fill a balloon with water and freeze. They will freeze from the outside in. Check them regularly; you want the "shell" to be frozen but the center to be liquid. Once you have a solid shell you can take them out and pop the balloon. Drain the remaining water out of the center cavity and you have your globe. You will have to chip an opening. This is an easy task. Now add your tea lights and you're done. You can make these any size. Use your imagination, make a glowing ice snowman or pile them up in a pyramid...Line your driveway, sidewalk or patio. You'll love the effect.
Crystal Branches
Plant sticks and branches in your flower pots. You can "crystallize" them if you live in a place with freezing temperatures. Using a spray bottle filled with water mist them periodically. Eventually they will be come encased in ice and have the appearance of crystal.
Ice Ornaments
You can also use your ice and candy molds to make ice ornaments. You can hang them from trees or your potted sticks and branches. Lay a ribbon, wire or string in the mold when you freeze for a hanger, these also make an excellent addition to your holiday centerpieces.
Ice Wreaths
Use a Jell-O mold to make an ice wreath. For years this trick has been used to keep the punch cold but why not make it a hanging wreath. Add cranberries, greenery and/or some water proof ribbon. Orange, lime and lemon slices look great also if you are using a nontraditional color scheme. Simple and stunning. These can be very heavy if you use too much water so make them thin. (You can always make more.) These look especially good on light posts or porch railings.
All these icy ideas can be adapted to enhance any current theme or colors you use. Your imagination is the only limit to all the applications that are possible. Enjoy! Merry Christmas!
