Earrings are THE accessory for Spring and Summer 2009. This season, they are worn big. Stunning dangling earrings, huge chunky earrings of head-turning proportions adorn the ears this season.

Actually, earrings were never out. The right earrings flatter a woman’s features. Chic women would wear earrings most of the time.

Pierced ears aren’t absolutely necessary in order for you to wear earrings. There are always clip-ons. Though relatively hard to find, clip-on earrings offer several advantages over the usual post earrings meant for pierced ears.

For one thing, anyone can wear clip on earrings. Even the needle phobic. Whether your ear are pierced or not, you can always clip them on and enjoy the face flattering benefits earrings offer. If you never did pierce your ears because you find the holes there when you aren’t wearing earrings, kind of ugly, then clip-ons are your best bet. You get to wear earrings without have the piercings in your ear lobes.

Somehow, earrings make quite a difference to the way a woman looks. Sparkling gems on the ears make eyes sparkle. The glow of gold or silver, the metal the stone might be set in, reflects light on the wearer’s face, making her look more radiant. Pearls and other such materials used in gemstones make skin look more luminous. That is the beauty of earrings. They bring out the wearer’s innate beauty.

Back to this season’s offerings. The ones on the catwalk may or may not be clip-ons but this season’s styles as clip ons would be a wiser choice than the regular pierced earrings. Large, dangly earrings weight down the ear lobe and pull down the piercing, turning that neat hole into an ugly slit. Even if the earrings are light, dangly earrings that swing around as you move your head would still tug at the ear piercing, making the hole bigger and more obvious. Pretty soon, those little stud earrings won’t sit well on you ear lobe anymore as the hole’s gotten too big.

With clip on earrings, the piercing, if any, won’t be stretched as the earrings are simply clipped on to the ear lobe and not supported via the piercing. You don’t get ugly slits with clip on earrings.

Hence, if you love this season’s look, go ahead and wear those stunning earrings, but do make them clip on earrings.

 

According to 2 Kings 6:25-3 , the Bible mentions a horrible story; a woman cooked her son and ate him. When the king heard such a he tore his robes. 

As the king was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help me, my lord, O king!”  This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’  we cooked my son and ate him; but the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.

This inhuman, barbarous, cruel, ruthless, heartless, merciless story is not found in the Quran.

2 Kings 6:25-30

 

New International Version

25 There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels.

26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”

27 The king replied, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?”

28 Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’

29 So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”

30 When the king heard the woman’s words, he tore his robes. As he went along the wall, the people looked, and there, underneath, he had sackcloth on his body.

27He said, “If the LORD does not help you, from where shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”

28And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’

29″So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”

From the threshing floor, or from the winepress?” 28And the king asked her, “What is your trouble?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son and ate him. And on the next day I said to her, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him.’ But she has hidden her son.” 30When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes—now he was passing by on the wall—and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath on his body—

25And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.

26And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

27And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?

28And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

29So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

30And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?

ght (c) 2009 Lian Vaiphei

Plus size women are no different from any other women. Plus size or curvy women, like anyone else, want to be fashion-forward while being comfortable with their body shape. As such, plus size womans clothing not only focuses on how good a piece of clothing looks, it also takes into consideration fabrics that should fit well and are long-lasting.

Usually, there is not much difference between fabrics used for plus size womans clothes and other clothing. So, there is no big difference in taking care of plus size clothing from other normal clothes.

The most basic thing to remember in taking care of plus size clothes is to always check the label of the item so that you are informed of how to wash it.

When it’s time to do the laundry, group clothes that have similar washing instructions and remember these groups so that it?ll be easier the next time you have to do a load.

While washing your clothes you should take care not to wash light colored clothes together with colorful garments. Usually dark color clothes shed their color while washing. When light color clothes are washed together with dark color ones, there is greater chance of the lighter cloth being soiled in the wash.

When you wash dark color clothes try washing them inside out. Washing clothes inside out prevents the color from fading. It also keeps the prints and colors intact.

After washing the clothes check if all the stains have gone. Dry your clothes after properly washing off the stains as stains become harder to remove when it dries.

Clothes are also more long lasting if they are not washed too often. It is always advisable to rather dry clean your clothes than wash them regularly. Dry cleaning does not affect the prints and keep the color also intact.

Take note of ironing instructions too; it can save you time and money since some articles of clothing do not need ironing. There are many plus size clothes made of stretchy fabric. The best way to maintain these sort of clothes is to follow wash and care instructions.

Hang your garments in closets using good-quality hangers. Using the wrong hanger can make soil your clothes. Using the wrong hanger can make the shoulder or collar sag, leaving stretches and lumps made by the hanger.

Maintaining plus size womans clothes is not a difficult task. Just remember to check the label and follow the instructions written on the label. That way you can’t go wrong, and your clothes will last a long time.
