I recently came across this site called check pregnancy; it is basically a one-stop shop for expecting mothers, mothers or pregnancy and older women. The website is extremely informative; you can find information from how to conceive, what to expect when you are pregnant, how to get pregnant with twins, parenting, these are only a few topics, the list goes on.
One topic that I found to be very interesting is in regards to more women waiting longer to start a family because they are focused on building their career and unfortunately motherhood gets put aside, but more and more it’s beginning to be the norm. In today’s modern world, it is very expensive to start a family and in order to do so it most likely will require two incomes. Check pregnancy has a very informative post called “Too old to be a mother, of course not” which put other points into perspective that I did not consider to why waiting to be a mother older in life will make it worthwhile. Women who become mothers later in life are well exposed to realities of life and are more emotionally prepared. Older parents are also more prepared to financially support their children than just providing the basic essentials that come along with being a parent, for example daily activities to keep the child well versed for socializing is becoming a high demand because children need to be exposed to different activities in order for the child to become successful. These activities cost money and it can take a while to figure out what a child is good at, which may require trying a lot of different activities before it is narrowed down, it’s not only about having children, children are a big responsibility and they need to be set-up for success so that they don’t struggle in life and helping them achieve that, is a life time responsibility of the parents, until they are old enough to make it on their own without having to struggle.
Becoming a mother later in life has also become more advanced, thanks to artificial insemination, if you want to be a mother, but are not at the point where you have achieved financial success to be able to provide for a child the way you would like to, is not something you should stress about, focusing on your career and striving to be the best role model for your child should be considered your top priority before deciding to have a child , the check pregnancy website will help guide you to all the essentials that come along with how to conceive, pregnancy and parenting when the time is right.
It’s that time of the year again to figure out what to get your boss for Christmas, not only are you stressed about finding a good gift, it also has to be work-appropriate. Consider these eight practical gift ideas from Watch Warehouse that will please, and impress, your boss during the Christmas season.
Watches
In the workplace, time is of the essence. And a boss with a sleek and stylish watch exemplifies status, style, and professionalism. A watch like the Diesel Analog Black Dial Leather Stainless Steel Men’s Watch for a male boss has the poise that will distinguish him from the rest of the bosses in the office.
And for a female boss, a watch like the DKNY Soho Black Dial Rose Gold Tone Steel Woman Watch has a modern, sleek design perfect for the boss who makes her presence known and is respected in the office.
If your boss arrives to work decked out in the best jewelry, or wears specific types of jewelry for sentimental reasons or with symbolic meanings, buying a charm may be a good way to go. Charms are small ornaments worn on necklaces, and they come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and designs. Most jewelry stores will have a variety of charms in stock. So, finding one may be fairly simple. Choose a neutral option with a simplistic design suitable for almost any personality and style.
Keychains
Give your boss’s keys some style and flair. The Montblanc Meisterstück keychain is perfect for your boss who may have to carry all of the keys for the office building. This keychain conveniently has three keyrings, while its durable calfskin strap keeps keys securely in place.
Notepads
Every boss needs a notepad on their desk to jot down notes, appointments, and to-do lists. A nice, leather-bound notebook that includes a writing instrument and a holder for business cards, credit cards, notes, and papers is a perfect idea. Add in a metal zipper and leather cover, perhaps made of Italian full-grain calfskin, will make this gift a treasured, super-durable addition to your boss’s essentials.
Specialty Pens
Signing documents and forms throughout the day may be the norm for your boss. A high-quality, long-lasting writing instrument can keep them going through the day. A pen with a beautiful and elegant finish and functional clip gives it a professional look that may fit perfectly with your boss’s existing office supplies ― and leadership style.
Wallets
Helping your boss organize credit cards, IDs, and more with a nice leather wallet will do the trick. Since your boss may be handling multiple business accounts or holding on to some of the company’s credit cards to make business purchases, this simple yet stylish wallet will provide an organized and easy way to gain access to all of their on-the-go needs.
Messenger Bags
Does your boss oftentimes rush to impromptu meetings and forget to bring their briefcase? Or maybe your boss gets invited to an informal business brunch and feels a briefcase is too formal for the occasion. A messenger bag is a great gift that can help your boss quickly store all types of documents and get organized, so they can focus more on landing that big deal.
Create a Gift Basket
Gift baskets make great holidays gifts, especially for those who have varying interests. If you think your boss would like a nice bottle of wine, some custom glasses, varieties of hard cheese, and tasty crackers, for instance, find a large wicker basket and cellophane wrap from an arts and crafts store, put all of the items in that one basket, and wrap it up! Gift baskets are great for consolidating all of your boss’s favorites into one package.

If you are looking for a lip product that will last all day with one application, I suggest trying LipSense. The product is made with peony root extract, it is gluten free, without GMO, includes linden flower extract (a powerful anti-oxidant) and FDA approved, all it takes is one or three applications, it all depends on all how intense you like your color. Start by lining clean lips first for a more defined pout using one of their LipSense shades.
Shake the product (I am using Praline Rose) before you apply. LipSense is applied by using a layering technique. Three layers is recommended for full maximum staying power. Apply the product at the corner of your mouth using the longest of the applicator and moving it one direction verses going back and forth, let each application set for a couple of minuets before you start the next one.
Finish with the Moisturizing Gloss over the final layer, this is the only product you may have to reapply, but you won’t mind because it is extremely moisturizing and glowing.
If you are interested in a more natural long staying lip product I highly suggest this product, email me at info@essentjewels.com for more information and don’t miss out on this wonderful offer in September see details below!
