Forever in Fashion: Wedding Band Style Guide

When it comes to picking out your wedding band style, where do you even begin? Unlike most of your big day decisions, this choice won’t just be there on your special day, it will be with you for the rest of your marriage.

Here’s our wedding band style guide to help you make the right decision.

Know Your Wedding Band Style Options

Before you look for a wedding ring, know there’s a couple of different style options. First the band, which applies to both genders. Decide between a plain, diamond or gemstone band.

Plain Bands

If you go for a plain ring that means the band is metal and there are no gemstones. However, there could be some other embellishments or contrasting metal.

With a plain band, you’ll also have to consider what finish you want. You can choose from hammered or brush finish.

Next, you’ll want to think about the fit. This means how the ring will rest on the finger and how high off the finger the ring will extend.

Diamond Bands

If you go with a diamond band you will decide between an eternity or anniversary band. An eternity band means the diamonds completely cover the band. While an anniversary band has diamonds only partially encircling the ring.

Gemstone Bands

If you decide to go with a gemstone band, this means the band is made out gems. Usually, these bands are made of sapphire and diamonds, but can also include any gemstone you want.

The Metals

Next, you will have to decide what kind of metal you want your band to be made out of. If you went with a diamond band, those are always set in platinum or gold since these metals are strong enough to protect and secure your diamonds.

Platinum is considered to be a “noble metal” because it can withstand oxidation and corrosion. Since this metal is naturally white when it ages you can be easily buffed back into a shine.

If you go with gold it can either be a yellow, white or rose gold. This depends on what alloys the gold is mixed with. White gold is a very strong metal and keeps a white tone over time.

If you have a plain band, then you have a wider selection of metals to pick from. Metals like cobalt, tungsten or palladium. Cobalt is super scratch resistant, hypoallergenic and can come in a tarnish free finish of black or white.

Palladium while rarer, is lightweight which can be more comfortable. This metal is also hypoallergenic, durable and won’t easily tarnish.

Tungsten is also scratch and tarnishes resistant, but the heaviest of the metals. You can get a tungsten band in gray, white or black.

Picking the Right Ring

When it comes to choosing your wedding bands, you might feel the pressure to get a matching ring to your partner. When actually it’s fine if your partner wants yellow gold and you want a cobalt band.

You do not have to have the same ring or even the same style. Perhaps you compromise with braided bands of the two metals, or you can even go with rings that are totally different. Focus more on what compliments your own individual style and lifestyle instead of matching rings.

What About the Engagement Ring?

Another issue you might face when picking out the perfect wedding band is finding a wedding band to match your engagement ring. When actually can decide if you want your band to be a perfect or complementary match to your engagement ring.

Perfect Match

A perfect match means the size of the diamonds along both the engagement and wedding rings are visually the same. Some perfect match wedding rings will even follow the curve of the engagement ring allowing the two bands to fit together almost seamlessly.

Complimentary Match

A complimentary match means the wedding ring flatters the engagement ring instead of perfectly matching it. For example, a sapphire and diamond side stone engagement ring’s complementary match would be a diamond wedding band.

Bottom line the choice is yours. These are not rules but rather suggestions. You can have a rose gold band with a white gold engagement ring, whatever makes you happy.

For more ideas on wedding bands, see page.

Set a Budget

Another thing you should consider when looking for your wedding band style is your budget. Know that you will likely spend about three percent of your total wedding budget on the rings.

Factors that can impact your wedding band cost include who your retailer is and if you’re going for a plain, 14-karat gold, simple platinum band and if there are any embellishments on the band which will make it cost more.

If you want your bands engraved, know that price is usually determined based on how many characters are in the inscription as well as what the font is, and if the engraving will be by hand or by a machine. Know that hand engraving tends to be pricier.

Consider Your Lifestyle

Another thing you should think about when picking out your wedding band is your lifestyle. You will wear this ring every day, so you want to make sure it fits into your life.

For example, if you play sports or an instrument, you’re going to want to go with a slimmer ring with rounder edges also know as a comfort fit. If you work with your hands, you may want a simple solid metal ring. If you’re very active, platinum might be best because it’s super durable and the metal doesn’t wear away when it’s scratched.

Think Maintenance

Another factor you should consider when choosing your wedding band is the maintenance. To keep bands with stones sparkling there’s a lot of upkeep, whereas a simple gold or platinum ring is easier to maintain.

Find Your Perfect Wedding Band Today

Now that you know what to consider before deciding on a wedding band style, it’s time to start your search. Think about what style and metal you want but also keep your budget and lifestyle in mind. For more style tips and tricks, check out our blog.

5 Different Fun Ways to Document Your Life

Do you even care of your happy and tear-jerking memories? Do you even treasure it more when shared with loved ones? Do you somehow think of a way you could freeze the moment and uphold every seconds, minutes, hours, and day with them?

Holding memories and moments for a lifetime doesn’t merely stopping a specific event that greatly means to you – it can also be called “documenting life”. You can achieve this by exerting a little creativity and effort to hoard and keep those memories as long as it can last on earth. Do you want to know how? Continue reading and you’ll surely find out.

1. CHANNEL YOUR INNER ARTSY SELF THROUGH SCRAPBOOKING

Are you an artistic person or simply want to discover your own creativity (if you have…just kidding) in your own unique way? Then why not try this exciting and very creative way of documenting? Scrapbooking is the artistic method of putting scraps, photos, and many colourful art materials together in one book, how does it sound to you?

Scrapbook is usually a book with a number of blank pages to be filled most importantly with photos. It’s like the more artistic version of photo albums.

If you find it interesting, you can follow these steps to make your first-ever scrapbook!

Pick the best photos in family events or significant experiences you want to document
Decide on the theme of the page/s where you would start scrapbooking
Start decorating – the more colourful, the better. Some people really overdo the designing session – they think that the more filled the pages are, the more fulfilling turning pages will become.
You are also free to put different types of souvenirs as a memento of a particular event – how about a ticket from a movie night out with your cousins? Or a flower from a picnic day? And so much more interesting things to put in one page.
If you’re patient enough, then why not put certain notes for each event? A sentence or two will do. So, the moment you recall them will be more enchanting heart-touching.
And finally, remember to never stop making good memories. Real treasures aren’t found beneath the earth’s surface in a treasure chest but found in the love and happiness of the people that are closest to your heart.

2. EXPRESS YOUR THOUGHTS THROUGH JOURNALING

If you’re not into photographs and scraps, then try this serious kind of thing to document your lovely life – journaling. You will only write your thoughts and feelings on a certain page or two, and then voila! You already documented an excerpt of your history.

Some people are best to express their thoughts through writing and if you’re one of them, then this is the best-suited thing for you to do. Do you know that journals are a big help to future genealogy research? Unlike the photograph collections, personal journals hold more specific and broader information from your past that may help in the certain research of you and your family in the future. So cool, isn’t it?

3. MAKE IT MORE THRILLING BY VIDEOTAPING

The habit of personal videotaping can also be considered as documenting. This act of documenting is mostly seen in American families, from which they start taking videos of their babies first smiles, first words, first steps, and as long as they grow up.

Today, it’s done to preserve something about someone else’s day. A second or few more seconds of a recorded video per day collected to look back on to at the end of each year. What a great idea, right? It’s like summarizing all the happenings in your life in a year. It will surely be an exciting way of documenting from the moment you start collecting video clips to the moment you look back into all of it. Yaaaay!

4. GATHER YOUR FAMILY AND MAKE YOUR YEARLY PHOTO ALBUM

This traditional way of documenting doesn’t ever get old. And guess what? It’s a lot better to be done with your family. Making photo albums is so much fun whether to be done on the floor or on a table. Making family photo albums help in preserving and keeping the history of the race to be passed on their future generations.

You can start by finding a perfect photo album to stick or put your photos together. And, don’t forget to call on your whole family to get along in the making process – surely, the room will be filled with joy and a huge wave of laughter.

5. YOU CAN SUM IT ALL UP THROUGH DIGITAL FILING

If you don’t have all the patience to stick and organize your treasured photos or you don’t have time to write about what happened on your day, then you must be willing to do digital filing. It’s so much easier nowadays especially with the birth of different high technology gadgets every year and of course, the legendary internet.

Through accessing your social media accounts, or blog sites, you can easily compile your most treasured events. It’s also a plus in a way that your family and relative will easily have an access with your uploaded photos, videos, or blogs as well.

How do you find the idea of documenting your life? Isn’t it thrilling? Make every memory more worth-living by capturing and keeping them. There’s no more joy equivalent to what recalling memories might bring.

Does lemon water help you burn extra calories? No. Should you be consuming lemon water if you wish to lose weight? Yes. Confused? Read on to find out how and why lemon water could be your friend if you intend to cut down a few inches.

Lemon water in itself has no properties of burning down calories but here are a few reasons why you should be swapping your drinks with it:

Lemon water and the magic of pectin – Pectin is a dietary fiber which is water soluble and slows down the digestion process which in return kills the unwanted hunger pangs. It also increases body’s capacity to absorb glucose and leads to lesser cravings.

These were some direct ways in which lemon helps in weight loss. Here are a few indirect and holistic ways in which lemon leads to maintenance and reduction of body weight:

Cut down on the slack with an immunity boost – Vitamin C is a core content in lemon juice and is famous for its immunity building properties.

Lemon juice helps in digestion – A lot of people are now suffering from gas, heartburn and acidity. The medicines that the above said consume contain unwanted sweeteners and lead to not just an unhealthy dependence on medicines but also dull and lethargic attitude. Consumption of lemon juice will help improve digestion naturally by breaking the food down.
Lemon water helps reduce body inflammation – Daily consumption of lemon water can help reduce the levels of acids in body. The deposition and build up of uric acid leads to inflammation in joints and can be easily reduced by regular intake of lemon juice.
Lemon water can help fight viral infections and kidney stones – Lemon is filled with antioxidant properties and can fight the strongest viral diseases by building the immunity and fighting the disease causing virus. Solid mineral formation in kidneys AKA kidney stones can be fought with lemon as the citrate in lemon juice helps to prevent some compounds from combining with calcium and hence preventing stones.

The Best Home Design Ideas for Your Outdoor Living Area

Photo by Vinny Ciro from Pixabay

Creating functional outdoor living areas is one of the major home improvement trends these days. It’s a nice addition to your house, most especially if you love spending time outside or if you frequently host parties.

There are various ways you can utilize your yard. You can use it to create a lounge, dining area or kitchen. You might also want to use it to show off your gardening expertise. If you have a spacious backyard, you can even build a luxurious poolside or a fire pit. If you want to get more details about these ideas, you should read on.

Create a beautiful garden

For many homeowners, the garden is the most important part of their house. It takes a lot of effort to maintain a garden, but it’s all worth it once you start seeing the blooming flowers. Also, it’s a great conversation starter.

If you don’t have a garden yet, you better start making one now. Gather the gardening equipment you need before you start. This way you don’t have to run around the house or the tool shed just because you forgot the trowel or shovel. Then, choose the plants you want to see in your garden.

When you’re shopping for plants, don’t forget to ask how to propagate them properly. Some plants require a lot of sunlight. While others fair better when they’re grown in shaded and cooler parts of the garden. Once you already have your plants with you, you can start working on the garden plot.

Outline your working area and start digging. Each bed should be elevated to reduce the risk of bug infestation. You will also need to check the soil. Is it good for gardening? Do you see a lot of pebbles? If not, then you need to prepare a garden soil mixture.

After working on the plot, you can start transferring the plants. There should be enough space between each seedling to promote healthy growth. It would take a few weeks to see your garden come to life.

Water the plants every day. Prune and cut them as needed. Also, keep your yard safe for kids, by keeping the fertilizer and gardening tools in your toolbox or shed.

Create a comfy lounge area

If you love enjoying the outdoor breeze and looking at the lush vegetation around you, you will also love having an outdoor lounge. It’s very easy to set it up. First, consider the type of activities you want to do in the lounge. Do you plan to use it as an extended entertainment area for your guests? Do you only want the space for yourself?

Second, you must measure the area. You need to know the size of the available space you can work with. This way, you can choose the right outdoor furniture. Also, you need to consider the existing design of your house.

Don’t forget your available budget. You don’t need to spend your entire fortune just to have a cozy outdoor lounge. Check yard sales or the flea market. You might find amazing furnishings there. Mix and match the items you buy to achieve the look that you want.

Enjoy dipping in an outdoor bathtub

Having a hot tub in the house is already awesome. You can easily drown away all your problems and stress in a tub filled with warm water and oil essences. If you want to level up your bathtub experience, consider installing an outdoor hot tub. If possible, install a large one so you can share it with your friends or family members.

Pick a shaded area in your backyard or create a nice gazebo for your tub. If you have money to spare, install wood tiles or build a deck. This will make your hot tub area look elegant and classy.

If you think a hot tub is too small, you can always create a swimming pool instead. Place a couple of plastic or resin chairs and tables for your snacks and personal valuables. You will also need outdoor umbrellas, most especially if you love swimming in the afternoon.

Dine with your family al fresco style

Nothing beats eating outside and breathing in fresh air at the same time. If you already have an outdoor kitchen, you should consider creating an outdoor dining space too. It can also work even if you don’t have an outdoor cooking area. You can just bring the meals outside once you finish preparing them.

In setting up the dining space, pick sturdy and durable furnishings. Choose chairs that you can comfortably sit in. You might need to add cushions if you buy hardwood chairs so you won’t have a difficult time while you eat your meals. Also, you must add an umbrella, pergola or gazebo so you’re fully shaded from the sun while you eat outside.

Build a fireplace or fire pit

If you have an outdoor fireplace or fire pit, you can conveniently spend your day off sitting by the fire and drinking your favorite alcoholic beverage. Both outdoor add-ons can instantly add a unique and romantic vibe to your house. It’s perfect for night activities with your friends or family members.

Contrary to popular belief, it’ not costly to build a fire pit or fireplace. It’s not also hard to make one on your own. You have the option to hire a pro to do it, but if you love getting your hands dirty, try and build a DIY fireplace.

Before you start, you need to check if your city or county imposes specific regulations in using outdoor fireplaces or pits. Some places are super strict with the measurements of a chimney. Take note of the specifications.

Also, you need to consult with your home insurance policy provider. Ask if your insurance policy can cover for any damages caused by your fireplace or fire pit.

Once you have all the paperwork sorted out, you can start with your project. Buy sturdy and heat-resistant materials. Find out what types of materials work best for DIY fireplace or pit. You also need to research the proper specifications and design to avoid catching fire. Alternatively, you can just buy a ready-made fireplace that you can install so you can just concentrate on enjoying a nice and cozy night around the fire.

Are you happy with all the tips above? Which ones are your favorites? What other ideas do you have in mind? Take inspiration from all these design ideas so you can finally create an amazing outdoor space for you and your family.

The three-story building is one of the biggest hosseiniehs or buildings used in the commemorative ceremonies for Imam Hossein’s death. The structure was said to be built sometime during the 15^th century and showcases exquisitely symmetrical iwans (vaulted hall or space) which are lighted and give off an amazing glow at night.

The complex also has a bazaar and several sweet and ice cream shops where you can get your fill of traditional Iranian beverages, cold, refreshing treats, and desserts.

3. Yazd Jameh Mosque

The Jameh Mosque of Yazd has the highest minarets in Iran. Its mosaic tile work exemplifies the stunning Iranian-Islamic architecture of the 12^th century. The grad iwan also showcases intricacies and inscriptions which are unrivaled by other mosques found in Iran.

Its façade is made up of delicate blue tiles. During sunset, prepare to be mesmerized by the wonderful play of colors. The sight is definitely a must-see and deserves to be captured in photos.

One of the oldest gardens in Iran, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was the former home of the Persian regent Karim Khan Zand. It was built sometime in 1750.

The garden boasts a pavilion which has a splendid interior, elaborate latticework, and superb stained-glass windows. Additionally, you will also find a 33-meter central badger or wind tower in the middle of the garden, the tallest one in Iran.

The Bagh-E Dowlatabad is also surrounded by evergreens, sour orange, and pomegranate trees.

5. The Zoroastrian Ateshkadeh

About 3,500 years ago, Zoroastrianism was the main religion in Iran. Today, certain groups of locals still follow Zoroastrianism. Architectural remnants of this religion are also still alive in Yazd, the country’s center of Zoroastrianism.

The Ateshkadeh, or Fire Temple, is the most important vestige of Zoroastrianism in Iran. It contains a central fire that is said to have been burning since the 5th century A.D.

Other remnants of Zoroastrianism you can find in Yazd are the Towers of Silence which can be found on the Shahidan-e Ashraf Boulevard, and the Chak Chak, another important Zoroastrian pilgrimage site located in Ardakan.

Since Yazd is one of the Iranian cities steeped in history and culture, and it is teeming with natural scenery, make sure you book a room at one of the best Yazd hotels to truly enjoy your side trip here.
