Long wedding hairstyles add beauty and elegance on that special day. The great thing about the wedding stylist is that they have a number of hairstyle tips up their sleeves, so even if your hair isn’t particularly long or you are blessed with an abundance of curls they can help you to achieve the look that you want. Whether you are the bride or the groom, if it’s long hair that you want, they can get it for you or your bridesmaids. In addition they are so skilled that they can transform curly hair to straight sleek locks with a flick of a GHD. Forget about veils – reveal that beautiful hair.

As described above, a good stylist can help anyone to achieve the long wedding hairstyles that they would like to have for their wedding day. Whether you want your hair to have curls or be straight, there are an incredible variety of styles to choose from for you or your bridesmaids. It is not often that the groom has long hair, but when he does it is imperative that it looks sleek and glamorous. If you’re not sure that you can afford a stylist for all of the people that are supporting you at your wedding, just treat yourself.

It is always a good idea to try out your hairstyle before the big day. The last thing you want is to arrive and have the hairdresser do a terrible job on your locks. If you don’t feel gorgeous, you’ll be self-conscious all day. If you have short hair and desire long hair, ask your hair dressers about extensions – these wonderful pieces of real hair can turn you from a bob into a bombshell. So if you’re after a beautiful hairdo on your big day kiss veils goodbye and don’t be afraid to try a long wedding hair style.

Hairstyles for Women with Short or Long Hair

Admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 14:04:54 +0000

When it comes to choosing from the different types of hairstyles there are out there, it isn’t always an easy decision to make. Of course you have to look at what style suits your face; whether you would look good with a bob, or if your hair is long and straight then maybe a short shoulder length cut would suit you. Having curly hair can sometimes be difficult to work with, but you are sure to find a style that would suit you perfectly, curly hair and all. Men are slightly easier when it comes to their hair as they generally have short hair, but with women it is more of a scenario.

What many women do is they page through one of those weddings magazines and look at all the different types of hairstyles the gorgeous brides had for their special day. This gives them ideas to work with and as any hairdresser will tell you, it’s easier to do the hair when the clients know more or less what they want done. A bob was always in the fashion and it still is in many places; women and girls have their hair cut like this as it compliments many different face shapes and looks good on almost anyone. When you are paging through one of the weddings books and you find something you like, take the picture to your hairdresser and see what they can do for you.

There is a lot you can do with long hair, and even so for ladies who have lengthy locks. If you have longer hair, and don’t want to cut it but want to try something different, you should consider having it braided. This is something that many African ladies, among others love to do and they do it so well. You don’t have to be an African to braid your hair, but if you can find an African lady to do it for you, you won’t be disappointed! Choosing from the different types of women’s hair styles doesn’t have to be that difficult, ask your hairdresser what will suit your face best.

PayPal Account – South Africa Phishing Scam

Admin — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 08:05:12 +0000

A PayPal account phishing scam email very similar to the ABSA bank scam reported is circulating around South Africa and has been for some time now. The mail is sent to thousands of random people around the country at any given time and asks the person to click on a link which takes them to a specific web page. Although to the trained eye and regular Internet users this hoax is quite obvious there are many that will enter personal credit card details and other private information online when prompted to do so. Be warned, if you fall for scams such as this you could fall victim to online crime and end up losing a lot of money.

The specific scam about updating a PayPal account circulating around South Africa that we are referring to looks something like this:

Dear PayPal client
——————————————————————————–

Closing Accounts and Limiting Account Access
This is your official notification that your account has been Limited. We recently reviewed your credit card and it seems that you are using the same credit card for 2 accounts. As you can read in our User Agreement ( section 5.11 ) opening multiple accounts is strictly forbidden. You are now requested to provide information relevant to your account. PayPal will investigate the matter promptly and if the investigation is in your favor, we will restore your account.

How can I restore my account access?

Click here and complete the steps to remove limitations.

Completing all of the checklist items will automatically restore your account access.

Thank you for using PayPal !
The PayPal Team

Please do not reply to this e-mail. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. For assistance, log in to your Pravex Bank account and choose the “Help” link in the footer of any page.

As you can see, the mail informs the user that they have entered details of the same credit card for two accounts. Upon clicking the provided link a user will be taken to a web page where they must rectify the situation by providing personal details in order for account limitations to be removed. Once again, DO NOT fall for this and NEVER enter any personal details online after clicking on a link in an email notification. Entering any personal information into the web pages you are redirected to will almost certainly result in identity theft or other types of Internet fraud.

There are others floating around imposing to be from South African banks such as FNB, Nedbank and Standard Bank, but these banks will never ask you to click on a link and then provide personal information online. Whether you have an ABSA account, any of the other major bank accounts or a PayPal account in South Africa, be very alert to these email phishing scams doing the rounds and where possible, inform friends and family that regularly use the Internet.

Hoax ABSA Bank Phishing Scam in South Africa

Admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:39:04 +0000

Criminals often send out hoax phishing scams in an effort to trick you into thinking they are from ABSA bank and in order to try and capture your personal details. Be very careful, ABSA will not ask you to click on a verification link in an email and then request your PIN number, telephone number, account details etc on the webpage that the link takes you to. There are some virus protection programs that can filter out these mails or warn you about a web page after you have clicked on an email link but the best thing is just to be aware of these mails doing the rounds.

If you receive an email from what looks like ABSA bank and it seems to be official but reads something like the following, do nothing except delete it. You can phone the bank as well to be 100% sure.

Dear ABSA Bank customer,

This email was sent by the ABSA Bank server to verify your ABSA Internet Banking account. You must complete this process by clicking on the link below and entering your account information. This is done for your protection, because some of our members no longer have access to their online access and we must verify it. To verify your e-mail address and access your account, click on the link below.

Please fill in the required information.
This is required for us to continue to offer you a safe and risk free environment.

Thank you

This is just one example of many variations these online criminals are using. There are others and some of them pretending to be from other major SA banks such as Standard Bank, Nedbank and FNB and in each instance you can phone your local branch but they will all tell you the same thing, do not click on the link and delete the email. Sadly many people are caught out by these types of scams online and identity theft, in particular with the ABSA bank phishing scam methods used as there have been so many of them.

Phishing Scam Email

Admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 06:32:54 +0000

Identify a phishing scam email which looks as though it has been sent by FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank or Absa by following one golden rule: NEVER send personal information in an email or provide personal information after clicking on an email link. Types of Internet related scams such as these often rear their ugly heads in South Africa and the criminals behind them are getting sharper and making things look more legitimate. By refusing to submit personal information such as bank account details, PIN numbers and telephone numbers you can be certain you will avoid being caught.

Essentially these phishing scam criminals are sending emails to large numbers of people and a surprising amount of victims do actually fall for it and get tricked into submitting personal details. The reason being that some of the mails are very professionally created and look exactly like they have been sent by the major South African banks such as FNB, Nedbank, Absa and Standard Bank. What these criminals do with your personal details once they have them varies according to the types of crimes online they are involved with.

Some of them may phone you if you have provided them with your telephone number and may pretend to be a bank official trying to con you into supplying more of your personal details such as PIN numbers etc. If they get a hold of your bank account details they may contact you to pretend they have deposited a certain amount of money into your account by mistake. You are then requested to pay the money back to them only to find out later that the deposit they claimed to have made was in fact fraudulent even though it may have reflected on your account! These are just a few brief and common methods criminals use after sending out the latest phising scam, there are many others.

More Common Symptoms of Pregnancy with Advice

Admin — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:13:28 +0000

After describing some common pregnancy symptoms recently we decided to offer some more information on a couple of the issues that pregnant women have to deal with and a few words of advice in dealing with them. Mood swings are common due to raging hormones and PMS type outbursts can leave you ecstatic the one minute and in tears the next! Anxiety about the birth and disturbed sleep, as well as worries about how you will cope as a mother are enough to give any expectant mum the blues. Exercise is a great way to heighten your mood and get the ‘feel good’ endorphins flowing. Regular meals to keep blood sugar levels stable and swapping sugary sweets and chocolate with wholesome alternatives will help as well as relaxation and regular treats.

Many women experience pregnancy symptoms such as swollen legs and ankles which are caused by fluid retention and can get worse during hot weather or when standing for long periods of time. This can be helped by avoiding too much salt or processed ready made foods and meals. Drinking plenty of fluids on a daily basis and massaging your legs (or getting your partner to do it) from the ankle upwards will also help as well as soaking your feet in a bucket of cool water. Leafy vegetables, bananas and apricots should also help regulate your body’s fluid levels as they are rich in potassium.

Itchy skin is caused by the hormonal changes and in the summer this can feel worse and become almost unbearable. Take regular cool baths or showers in the hot summer months and wear lightweight clothes made from natural fabrics in order to allow your skin to breathe. Calamine lotion can help ease the itchiness when applied to the areas in question and try to use unscented soaps and bath products instead of fragranced ones. If severe itching persists, especially during the third trimester and on the hands and feet, make an appointment with your local doctor to have it looked at. Hopefully between the two articles of information we have covered the most common pregnancy symptoms that mum’s to be experience and you have found our tips and advice useful.
