Deciding On Leather

Leather is popular once again! Despite the ups and down of the fashion world there have always been the die hard leather fans. Of course just the faithful Bikers have done
their best to keep leather sales up! I wonder over the years just how many pairs of chaps, coats, vests, hats, gloves that have been bought, just to outfit the biker. Then of
course, you can't have a well dressed biker, and not have a well dressed bike. Then you need saddlebags and all the those fixings! So not counting the faithful biker fans, the
fashion world has woke up to the benefits of using leather once again.

Most leather goods are for wear and there are several pro's to wearing leather. Depending on your age
whether durability being the biggest selling factor for you, or how hot you look in it. Or if your like me, somewhere in the middle I guess! Pants, shirts, and skirts can all be
flattering and help show off your body ( or booty depending on what you wear! ).

To me there are only two things on the downside of leather. The biggest pain about leather ( at
least for me ) is the cleaning. If it is more than you can dab off, you will have to get leather professionally dry cleaned. I guess in today's world of fast and easy I'm just spoiled
with wash and wear clothes. But NOTHING has the look of leather so it's worth the extra fuss. The next con to wearing leather is it's hot, the other hot, we just covered how
hot you look in it! Anyway, there is some type of leather goods for everyone and everyone's budget. The nice thing about it is that when you find that terrific piece that you just
love, with proper care it could literally last you a lifetime!

Unique Ideas for Girlfriend Get Togethers

Women create friendship opportunities. We suggest get togethers, shopping excursions, road trips, and coffee dates. We remember birthdays and anniversaries and make sure to stay connected. We call each other on the phone for no reason and meet for coffee, lunch, gossip and/or tears.

Being a woman and a mother is not about sacrifice its about investing in others as well as yourself. Striking the perfect balance between these two involves a little or a lot of fun. And who better to share fun times with than our girlfriends...let's face it ladies, girlfriends need girlfriends. The below suggestions are designed to provide ideas to create unique memories for you and your best gal pals. In planning how to celebrate, put your heads together, and dont forget your camera!

Plan a girls' night out:

Does this really need an explanation? In a nutshell, girls' night out is a tradition reinvented by generation upon generation of ladies looking to let their hair down, escape from their ordinary lives and get together for drinks and appetizers to gossip about everything: relationships, fashion tips, boyfriends/husbands, or even the unfortunate couple at the table next to them. This excursion can also be girls night in, i.e. staying at one girlfriend's house sipping wine, watching movies, snacking on junkfood. What more could a group of girlfriends need?

Start a monthly club:

No this is not an opportunity to discuss your period! Having a monthly club is the result of organizing a dedicated group of women to meet monthly for girl talk and gossip. Whether is be high school friends, college friends, mothers in the hood, meet with them once a month at someone's home, at a bar or restaurant for silly, rejuvenating fun!

Go on a weekend getaway:

So it may take some advance planning and babysitting arrangements. It will be worth it Mama! Does someone own a summer home that you know? Can you find an affordable hotel? Pack some food, drinks, even games and get started on your roadtrip escape. Or be spontaneous... destination unknown. Pick up your best friend and head north, south, east, west. Who cares...getting their will be more than half the fun!

Be newbies:

Try something new to you and your friends. A camping and kayaking trip, a guided hike, a cooking class, wine tasting, even sushi. Sharing a new experience with close friends is just one more way of breaking out of you comfort zone and building incredible memories. You may even pick up a new hobby in the process.

Pick a reason to celebrate:

Is someone coming to town, did a relationship just end, does one of the girls need a pick-me-up? Are you dying to try out the new karaoke joint and show off your new leather boots or did you just find out it's Brad Pitt's birthday (December 18)? Celebrate it! Be cute and send Girls Night Out Invitations or call around last minute and see who's up for a night out. Since we were little girls we loved to play dress up so make the night extra special and tell the girls to wear their funkiest or their flirtiest.
