Donald Trump?s Marketing Secrets Revealed!

by: Dan Lok

It's official!

Now in it's third season, Donald Trump's killer television series "The Apprentice" is officially a "franchise."

With new seasons in the making, a clothing line that carries "The Apprentice" brand, DVD's in production, and mega-fortunes to be made, it's no surprise that the king of real estate... a man who knows a good thing when he sees it... is involved.

I like Donald Trump a lot.

Mostly because I learn something new from him every time I watch him in action.

One of the barbs critics aim at Donald Trump is that he's a shameless egomaniac who can't get enough of the spotlight.

Well, they may call it egomania, but from my perspective... it's a brilliant business strategy.

I'll admit it: I'm a marketer.

My job is to make people sit up and take notice of my clients (and their products or services), and to deliver a "brand" message at every...

Top 10 Tips To Look Great At Christmas Parties Whatever Your Size

Top 10 Tips To Look Great At Christmas Parties Whatever Your Size

by: Janice Elizabeth Small

1. Fake it until you make it

If your flesh is looking pale and pasty, get a fake tan to look great for the party season. Somehow golden brown looks slimmer than pale and uninteresting.

2. Have a make-over

Treat yourself to a make-up lesson so your party face looks glamorous and up-to-date, especially if you've been wearing the same tired old make-up for years. The right make-up can take inches off your face and draw all attention to your eyes rather than your size.

3. Beat the bloat

For a few days before any big event avoid alcohol and caffeine, and drink lots of water to flush out toxins. Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and eat only small quantities of other carbohydrate foods, keeping to wholegrain rather than white varieties of bread, rice or pasta. If you can afford it, try a body wrap treatment before a special occasion...

How to Remove Stitches

How to Remove Stitches

by: Brenda H. Murphy

Removing one or two stitches in a garment is not a difficult chore, but getting whole seams out so that you can take a blouse apart to use for a pattern, or to alter the length/width of a skirt can be more challenging.

A lot depends on whether the stitches you want to remove were sewn by hand, or machine. Machine sewing tends to lay down a very close line of stitches than can run along the seam and overcast it as well.

The most common tool used to remove stitches is a seam ripper. This is a little device that has a curved, sharpened blade at one end, and set into a handle with a secure grip, so that you have total control over where and how you cut things. In a basic seam, it is possible to slip the tip under the stitches, and literally rip the entire seam out by just moving the device forward.

But as mentioned, if it was done by machine, you may have a second seam to deal with. Some people...
