You get engaged, pick a date, ask your attendants The next big question is ~ what are your colors? Hot colors for Spring 2012 are bright, bold and sunny! How about Tangerine, yellow, or purple? These colors are bright, fun and unique! Feeling sexy? Try Cabareta sensual, intense rosy/red, a great way to kick off a summer wedding! For those who are less bold (like me!) lilac, or driftwood are soft and gentile. Most important thing to remember, its your wedding! Embrace who you are!

As I get ready to celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary this summer I am inspired to write about my own honeymoon in Greece. At the time, this was my first vacation and it was one that did not disappoint. While there are many ways to experience this beautiful country, one of the best ways to see many islands in a short time is through Transat Holidays. It combines a cruise, which takes you island hopping and tacks on a land portion in Athens either at the beginning or end of the holiday. You are able to see

that you needed to experience. While on the cruise you have the choice to lounge on the beach at each port, or sign up for any of the magnificent excursions. Perhaps the most impressive sights I have ever seen is the Ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey. A MUST see if you are ever fortunate enough to make it to this end of the world.

all that Greece has to offer, tour at your leisure and travel within an itinerary all the while feeling like you are alone. Not to mention scenery that impress the most seasoned travellers. I was unsure about a cruise at first, but once we pulled up to the island of Mykonos, my breath was taken away. Each Greek island is so incredibly unique that I felt as though I was in a different country each day! While a week away would never allow you to see all the islands (over 227 are inhabited) this particular vacation was a sure way to make sure you see all

Its March and Im sure everyone is starting to think about summer and getting into that bathing suit, whether it be a bikini, tankini or one piece. I know I am!! The days are getting longer and warmer and theres a light at the end of that tunnel of winter. What are we going to do? How can we get ourselves into those bathing suits and in time for summer. We do it by starting our regime of physical activity and healthier eating. The real question should be...Why havent we been doing this all along? I know we can all fall into that trend of work, kids, taxi driver and chief cook and bottle washer, but what about taking care of ourselves?? Why cant we make sure that we are on the top of that priority list for a change and take care of ourselves. We know that when we feel better, everything else falls into place; not because you lost those extra 10 -20 lbs (although that doesnt hurt) but because of our healthier lifestyle we are now able to do more and enjoy more and in turn, so do the people around us. We eat better so now so does our family. We are more active with our children which in turn shows a good example for them and hopefully this healthy lifestyle with be a part of their entire life. Ok, getting back to you! Where do you begin? What classes or exercise programs should you take? How often can you commit to these classes or programs. These are questions that you need to ask yourself before starting any program. You need

to be able to set the time aside and commit yourself to making that change or it will not happen. Starting and stopping all the time is not doing you any good because you wont have that sense of success which is something you need in order to feel empowered and successful in your new healthy lifestyle. Of course I am not saying dont try new and different classes; how will we know what fits if we dont try it out. What I am saying is to be thoughtful of the process and make informed decisions as to the path you will take. Some people really like the boot camp style of training, some like zumba, while others like yoga. It will all depend on what kinds of exercises make you feel the most comfortable and gives you the best feedback. I know that in my studio, I am always letting my clients know that they are doing the best that they can before, during and after each class and that they can carry over this healthy feeling into their daily diet and lifestyle. Open and free discussions on food, exercises and daily activities are always on the menu at The Powerhouse Fitness

Many clients ask weather using a serum is really necessary, and what exactly is it for. Serums are one of the most forgotten products for at home maintenance. They are highly concentrated and target the skin at a deep cellular level for repairing and maintaining collagen. Ageless Renewal Skin Serum is one I recommend! This is a cutting edge formula contains specially formulated ingredients and polypeptides to support the skins renewal process. This Serum is jampacked full of nutrients without the use of any toxic chemicals in it. It is a naturally derived formula working in harmony with the body to help produce collagen and proteins (which means firmer and more moisturized skin ). It contains 9 naturally derived growth factors, which was originally developed by a physician who treated patients that were in burn units to accelerate healing.) Growth Factors are chemical messengers between cells. When put on the skin they go on the skin and they determine the health of the cell...they either go in and repair a damaged cell or they recruit other cells to assist and repair (or determine it needs to be destroyed and will destroy the damaged cell). Production of Human Growth Factors reduce naturally with Age so by re-introducing these factors by daily application will regenerate the skin. When we are exposed to environment factors such as pollutants, Ultra Violet Rays, Stress, Diet will also contribute to

the degeneration of our cells. Signs of aging are the result of the rate of deductions of proteins in skin causing it to sag. This particular serum is key at signalling these proteins and restoring health at a cellular level. Study results on this serum showed:

94% saw overall appearance of skin

85% saw improvement in skin texture and smoothness

79% saw increase in firmness and elasticity

87% saw reduction of fine lines and wrinkles Contact me to find out more!

YES! This is really the same person!

Supra mobile dj service

Q. How did you get into the DJ business? A. Ive played in live bands for years. Unfortunately, the live music scene has slowed considerably the past few years. I found myself sitting at home on weekends with a state of the art sound system in my basement. I decided to start Supra Mobile DJ with my son John to fill the musical void. I worked for years in the hotel / convention business so this was a natural fit. The name Supra is derived from my favorite instrument, the legendary Ludwig Supraphonic snare drum. Q. What do you have for sound equipment? A. We use QSC K10 1000 watt powered speakers and a QSC KW181 1000 watt powered sub. This is a high end sound system which produces amazing sound. Its perfect for small venues but also powerful enough to fill large halls. We also have an impressive light show. All of our equipment is owned, not rented. Q. Whats your music consist of? A. Our setlist was built with the objective of maximizing crowd participation. Weve actually spent a lot of time researching this. After working so many events, you get a sense of what works and what doesnt and you adjust accordingly. Its important that the music not focus on any one genre. We normally play a mix of modern pop/dance tracks, country and classic rock. Its all radio friendly stuff with heavy emphasis on dance. Our setlist is constantly evolving and we always welcome requests. Q. Are you licensed and insured? A. Yes. We are members of the Canadian Professional DJ Association (CPDJA) and our music is AVLA licensed. We also carry adequate liability insurance coverage for all events. Q. Do you still have openings for the summer of 2012? A. We still have some good dates available but were booking on a regular basis. Its always a good idea to reserve your date early to avoid disappointment. Q. What sets you apart from other DJs? A. Without a doubt its the level of service we provide. With a background in the hospitality / service industry, our focus is always on delivering top notch customer service. For us, its all about the attention to detail, responding to customers needs quickly and laying the groundwork for a great party. Were also very proud of the quality of our sound system and light show. Q. How can customers contact you?

A. There is a contact form on our website at www.supramobiledj.com. You can also reach us by email, supra9691@yahoo.ca or by phone 3804009. We answer all inquiries promptly.

The Gala Expo on February 19th was a day to remember! Michelle and Lynn were there (Lori was with us in sprit) and we had a blast! We loved seeing all the new faces, and met some familiar ones as well. The excitement was palpable that Sunday afternoon and we couldnt have been more happy to be a part of it! The luckiest person of the day was not us for getting so many new readers on board with us here at KJFB but it was to Chantal Mallais!Winner of a brand new 2012 Chrysler 200! A HUGE congratulations to you Chantal! We hope you enjoy your new ride! Stay tuned for dates for the next Gala Expo coming our way soon!

WHAT MAKES
YOU FEEL LOVED?

I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is. Forest Gump

One of my absolute favorite movies (and love story) is Forest Gump. There was absolutely nothing he would not do for his one true love, Jenny. And as the quote suggested, I believe that he knew what true, unbiased and whole hearted love was. Many of our favorite Hollywood movies gave us favourite characters, quotations and scenes that we look to when we compare love. We are asking our readers to tell us what they think true love really is. How does your fianc show you that you are love? What does he do that makes you feel special? Write to us at knotjustforbrides@live.ca . Maybe we will share what your honey does that makes you feel like Jenny!
