So Your Considering a Destination Wedding

Here at Bride's Book we would like to introduce you to Newport, RI, a hidden jewel for just that. Once the summer playground for the most affluent family's of the Industrial revolution. Family's with names like the Astor's, Vanderbilt's and Rockefellers are just to name a few and all of the "Summer Cottages" as they called them had price tags back in the early to mid 1900's from $300.000.00 to 7 million dollars and today....well lets just say priceless. Most of these jaw dropping homes are available for wedding receptions. None of these venues are in any way cheap but lets face It is any destination wedding actually cheap. The costal town of Newport is rich in culture, history and the home of the America's Cup Racing. There are great Vineyards' to visit and amazing seaside resorts, and five star restaurants for dining. The photos pictured are just one example of these fairytale venues .



 



 If you would like more information regarding these venues, visit our local vendors directory at www.brides-book.com or Ask our Expert Linda Lee and she will help you out with any questions and even get you quotes on a wedding package if needed. Bride's Book is totally free so don't be afraid to ask for help or use any of the great wedding tools and services we have available.

Online Outlets Vs Your Local Galleria

Forget The Deposit At the Pump

I came across a site called Bride's Book while looking for a wedding gift for friends. The Outlets @ Brides Book is an online outlet mall within the Bride's Book wedding site. The layout of the outlet mall is much like the real thing and you will be surprised what stores are in there. Guess Outlet, Reebok, Adidas, Bon Look, Express, Macy's, Lord & Taylors, Gap, Puma, Tommy Hilfiger, Sacks 5th Avenue, Spencer's, Best Buy and Anna's Linen are just to name a few. They also have so many others shops from around the globe. Here's a hint, if you sign up for the newsletter you will get weekly sales promo codes for even deeper discounts that are exclusive only to the outlet. With the money you save at the pump and the codes you get in the newsletter you will save more by shopping right from home. Almost all or the stores offer discounted shipping or in many cases free with a set spending amount.

I hope this was helpful to everyone looking to save on gas consumption and find great bargain's online at the same time.

Happy Shopping and Say No to the Pump.

Have Eyebrows Like Megan Fox-- Fast and at a price that won’t break the bank

Eyebrows are what really make a difference in a woman’s appearance. Eyebrows are what frame the face and define a women’s bone structure, if done right, the eyebrows will give a fresher and younger appearance to one’s look that no eye shadow, mascara, or eyeliner can.
The mega star Transformers actress, Megan Fox has one of the most envied eyebrows out there and many women looking for the starlet look will go to many lengths to get the same look.
Hollywood Surgeons dub this “The Megan.” The cost for this procedure is a bank breaking price upwards of $8000.00. Many of the pencils, powders, and gels on the market are not only difficult to use ... they have that painted on unnatural look.
 There’s a great new product on the market called Wunderbrow that’s selling like wildfire. Read more like this at http://www.brides-book.com

Diet Friendly Fast Food Choices For the busy bride on the go.

Diet Friendly Fast Food Choices that are Healthy and Low- Calorie

The 22 Healthiest Fast Foods What to Order at America's Top 10 Fast Food Reataurants

   Eating healthy at home is a breeze.
But when you’re out and about in the midst of a hectic day of errands and you have precisely 30 minutes to scavenge and wolf down lunch before your next appointment, squeezing in food of any sort becomes a challenge—a challenge to which fast food restaurants have risen. Tasty, convenient, and cheap, there are plenty of reasons they’re popular. But if you’re watching your weight, or watching your health, a fast food menu is like a minefield! One wrong step and a 2,100-calorie sandwich winds up in your stomach (and later on your thighs). But if you’re careful, you can come out intact, with a meal in your hands, not on your hips.
Dining at a fast food restaurant doesn’t have to be a diet disaster. We’ve scoured the top 10 most popular fast food chains for their healthiest picks, so you don’t throw all of your hard work out the (car) window. Use this list as a guide, or visit the websites provided to tally up totals for your preferred favorites. And remember that these selections are healthier options for the occasional fast-food meal, but they may have other nutritional flaws (like high sodium), so you might not want to make it a regular part of your nutrition plan.
McDonald's
No one can say that McDonald’s isn’t convenient—you can find one on just about every corner in some cities. But can it be healthy, too? Depends on what you choose. Visit www.mcdonalds.com for more healthy ideas.
