Phat Farm Shoes

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

There’s nothing worse than trying to shop for teenagers! They insist on having all the “in” brands when it comes to clothing, which doesn’t do my wallet any favors. The latest on the wish list is Phat Farm shoes. “They’re the coolest!” he says. “Everybody loves them, and they’re really durable and will last me the whole school year!” he says. I guess that means it’s time for me to get busy shopping. I usually just head to the mall when one of my kids need something new, but because this was such a specific brand, I decided to look it up on the Internet first. I didn’t feel like schlepping around from store to store without knowing if they even carried Phat Farm shoes or not. My first stop in my quest for a pair of Phat Farm shoes was the company’s website, where I learned a bit about Russell Simmons. He’s the hip-hop mogul who started Phat Farm shoes and has built it into a monstrously successful business.

Things to Do in Johannesburg – Carlton Panorama

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

A must see for tourists and locals, this experience offers the big picture of all that makes up Jozi. Also known as the Top of Africa, the Carlton Center is one of the tallest skyscrapers on the entire continent. Fifty stories high, the building’s 360 design allows visitors to view the metropolis through giant windows from every angle. When skies are clear, even Pretoria (30 miles away) can be spotted from the Top of the Carlton. The tower’s lower floors include a movie theater as well as a shopping mall, but the rooftop deck is definitely the main attraction. There is no view of the city that could possibly come close.

How to Avoid Hypertension

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Hypertension is the medical term for a condition in which the arterial blood pressure is consistently above the normal range. A blood pressure reading consists of two numbers. The number at the top represents systolic pressure. This is the amount of pressure that the heart generates when pumping blood out through the arteries. The number below represents diastolic pressure. This is the amount of pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest, in between beats. When the reading is above the 140 (systolic)/90 (diastolic) range, it denotes hypertension. There are two major types of hypertension: Essential or primary hypertension and secondary hypertension.

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

You can use wallpaper borders if you wish, and you can add just about anything else you want. However, you should make sure you have things hung safely. You don’t want anything hanging down that baby can pull over on top of his or herself, and you don’t want any cords within chewing distance. As you put together your baby nursery décor, think about what you will be doing in that room. If you plan to feed and change baby there in the middle of the night, as most people do, you want to be sure you have your rocker, crib, and your changing table all close to one another. You don’t want to have to stumble through the room holding a baby while trying to do what you have to get done. Chances are good that you will be very tired, and you won’t react as well if you happen to trip or lose your balance.

Rare Selection of Large Women Clothing

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

The sales clerks were (until SOMEBODY got a clue) petite, pretty, and pretty snooty The would visibly or audibly express their disdain, rolling their eyes or sighing as they had to get off the phone with Johnny Macho to walk us to the special section, obscured way in the back of the store, where very few selections hung tauntingly on a neglected rack

And our choices were just as appealing Of the rare selection of large women clothing were the sparkled, spangled, appliquéd t-shirts, ugly skirts with elastic waist-bands that the makers didn’t bother to disguise, and sleeveless, tacky-printed smocks Where…
