Most effective natural weight loss with GM Diet

I did the following  weight loss diet program and it worked wonders.   I strongly recommend anyone desirous of loosing weight to start on this program immediately.   Best part of the program is that it is doable!   

---   ghostrider30


General Motors: Weight Loss Diet
Program


The following diet and health program was developed for employees and dependents of General Motors, Inc. and is intended for their exclusive use. This program was developed in conjunction with a grant from U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. It was field tested at the Johns Hopkins Research Centre and was approved for distribution by the Board of Directors, General Motors Corp. at a general meeting on August 15, 1985. General Motors Corp. wholly endorses this program and is making it available to all employees and families. This program will be available at all General Motors Food Service Facilities. It is management's intention to facilitate a wellness and fitness program for everyone.

This program is designed for a target weight loss of 10-17 lbs per week. It will also improve your attitudes and emotions because of its cleansing systematic effects.

The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the food eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value.

This plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter because you will be lighter by at least 10 lbs. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.

During the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol. You must drink 10 glasses of water each day


Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.
Day Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.
Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.
Day Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.
Day Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.
Day Six Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.
Day Seven Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.


Tomorrow morning you will be 10-17 lbs. lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white wine in addition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute champagne for white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other alcoholic beverages with the exception of beer which is allowed. Any liquor (bourbon,vodka, rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. You may have an occasional cordial such as creme de menthe or schnapps, but you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only wine that day. If you have beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol adds empty calories to your diet. However, after the first week it will help your digestion and settle your stomach.

G.M.'S Wonder Soup

The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to consume large quantities of this soup.

28 oz, Water, 6 Large Onions, 2 Green Peppers, Whole Tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1 Head Cabbage, 1 Bunch Celery, 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix, Herbs and Flavouring as desired.

Additional Comments

Vegetables as may be taken in the form of a salad if desired. No dressing except malt, white or wine vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic, herbs. No more than one tea spoon of oil.

You have been given a recipe for the WONDER SOUP which can be eaten in unlimited quantities. This soup is a supplement while you are on the program and it should be a pleasure to eat. Not everyone likes cabbage, green peppers, calory etc. This recipe is not inflexible. You may substitute vegetables according to your taste. You may add any vegetables you like: asparagus, peas, corn, turnips, green beans, cauliflower, etc. Try to stay away from beans (lima, pinto, kidney, etc.), however, because they tend to be high in calories even though they are very good for you.

Beverages you may consume while on the program :


  1. Water (flavoured with lemon/lime if desired).

  2. Club Soda is OK.

  3. Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness.

  4. Black Tea = Herb or Leaf.

  5. Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices which are part of day seven. No fruit juices before day seven.



How and Why It Works

Day One you are preparing your system for the upcoming programme. Your only source of nutrition is fresh or canned fruits. Fruits are nature's perfect food. They provide everything you could possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.

Day Two starts with a fix of complex carbo-hydrates coupled with an oil dose. This is taken in the morning for energy and balance. The rest of day two consists of vegetables which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.

Day Three eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from the fruits. You system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will still have cravings which should start to diminish by day four.

Day Four, bananas, milk and soup sound the strangest and least desirable. You're in for a surprise. You probably will not eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed the past three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets. You will be surprised how easy this day will go.

Day Five, Beef and tomatoes. The beef is for iron and proteins, the tomatoes are for digestion and fibre. Lots and lots of water purifies your system. You should notice colourless urine today. Your allowance calls for the equivalent of five "quarter ponders". Do not feel you have to eat all this beef. You must eat the six tomatoes.

Day Six is similar to day five, Iron and proteins from beef, Vitamins and fibre from vegetables. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There should be a noticeable difference in the way you look today, compared to day one.

Day Seven finished off the program like a good cigar used to finish off
Victorian meals, except much healthier. You have your system under control and it should thank you for the flushing and cleaning you just gave it.

Money as Debt

Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation of "Money as Debt" tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created. It is an entertaining way to get the message out. The Cowichan Citizens Coalition and its "Duncan Initiative" received high praise from those who previewed it. I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned with the present unsustainable monetary system in Canada and the United States.

iPhone 3G: First recall in Apple History?

“Apple Recall” sounds more like a finely tuned buzz word for their Time Machine application or the latest Arnold Schwarzenegger flick, rather than the serious Apple concern that it is quickly growing awareness among Apple users. Is it due to the cheap exports from China for reducing the overall iPhone costs to half of its orginal price last year?

Dubbed as “Power Adapter Exchange Program”, Apple has recently addressed reports that the lifeblood of the iPhone 3G, the power adapter, contains prongs that are prone to breaking off in your outlet, resulting in electric shock. Rather than downplay the issue as circumstantial, Apple has announced a worldwide recall of all iPhone 3G power adapters.

Exchanges are available via web and instore beginning October 10th. In the meantime I strongly recommend using the supplied usb adapter to power your iPhone via your computer.

Google's Android-platform gPhone makes a giant step off the desktop

Earliar in 2008 the top Google execs had gone on record, multiple times in the media in the last week, all saying the same thing that there is no gPhone. Google is engineering an open source multi-platform capable OS that any other member of the alliance is welcome to use in the design of a new cell phone. In the same way that Microsoft doesn't make your PC, it was speculated Google will not be making your new cell phone. But tomorrow Sep 23, the things will change forever with Android. T-Mobile USA, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG, is set to unveil a touch-screen device with a swiveling keyboard that incorporates some of the defining features of both Apple Inc.'s iPhone and Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry. The device, dubbed the Dream, is built by Taiwan's HTC Corp., which until now has kept a low profile as a contract manufacturer of other companies' phones.

-Android allows you to access core mobile device functionality through standard API calls.

-Combine information from the web with data on the phone -- such as contacts or geographic location -- to create new user experiences.

-Android does not differentiate between the phone's basic and third-party applications -- even the dialer or home screen can be replaced.

-The SDK contains what you need to build and run Android applications, including a true device emulator and advanced debugging tools.



Here are the sequence of events that have transpired over the making of gPhone 3G:
-Google purchased Android, a software company that makes software for mobile devices.
-Google filed a patent for a mobile payment processing system called Gpay.
-Google purchased Zingku and Jaiku, two companies that provide social networking services. Zingku offers applications for text messaging, sharing pictures, instant messaging and other networking features. Jaiku is a microblog site like Twitter, allowing users to post and read messages with friends.
-Google has expressed interest in bidding in the FCC's upcoming 700-MHz auction with the minimum reserve of $4.6 billion and the stipulation that the FCC agree to its "open devices" terms. This auction will sell off commercial blocks of bandwidth in the 700 MHz frequency. Google executives say they want the mobile phone market to become more competitive, allowing customers to buy any handset and use it with any phone service or operating system.
-Google is working on creating mobile device versions of its applications.
-Google continues to lead the market of Internet-based advertising.

NASA guy in trouble with the new Microsoft commercial

The three new non-Seinfeld commercials, which the New York Times described earlier this week, still don’t talk about Vista features. But they do try to break the stereotype that cool and interesting people use Macs, and everyone else is on a Windows machine.

There is a lot of chatter about the NASA guy appearing in the Windows ads is committing an ethics violation by being in these ads, punishable by fine for each violation. It turns out that US Government employees are prohibited by law from endorsing commercial products. If this guy had paid attention to the ethics training every US government employee is required to take, he would have known better. I guess Microsoft simply didn't care about subjecting this guy to Ethics Code violations and their penalties, which could curtain his NASA career.

The three new commercials are below:

1000 times daily earnings growth by blogging

As the great philosopher from the East once said -"A  win does not matter, a try what matters, the most...", this blog ghostrider30 has risen from its daily earnings of $0.03 to $30 in a matter of just a year based on this philosophy. That is 1000 times growth in blog earnings. This blogging income is now covering my losses that were incurred due to poor stocks like NASDAQ:VG, NASDAQ:SIRI and some mutual funds that downgraded my portfolio by $10,000 in a year. I dont think about the $10,000 drop anymore after I got addicted to blogging. All my blogging started on Oct 7, 2007 with just a belief and try to experiment after being inspired by some great bloggers who live to write just great content. I believe that if you just blog to your hearts content, and get started with my referral links, you would start making profit in no time and have 1000 times daily earnings growth like me. Its a very simple formula that I can't explain in any more easy way.

Peek at Sarah Palin's personal emails

(courtesy: gawker.com)Did the internet just cause Sarah Palin to destroy evidence? The potential Veep is in a bit of trouble for conducting state business using her personal, unarchived email address (gov.sarah@yahoo.com) instead of her official account (which is, of course, subject to laws requiring the retention of government records). Emails from that Yahoo account are already being sought in connection with the Troopergate investigation. Now comes word that Anonymous, the fun-loving Internet trouble-makers based loosely around the message board 4Chan, gained access to another Palin email account: gov.palin@yahoo.com. It looks legit! The offending posts, screenshots, heretofore unseen family photos, and emails have all been deleted from Imageshack and 4Chan. But we have them. You want to read Sarah Palin's email?


Ok, sad thing first: a good Samaritan reset the password and tried to alert Sarah. But he also posted the new password, causing multiple people to try to log in at once, freezing the account for 24 hours. And now, the account has been deleted! Which is, as we said, maybe destruction of evidence? So for now this is, we think, all we'll get to see from this email account (if anyone finds evidence of saved emails, let us know.)


The full timeline of events, with corroborating evidence of the legitimacy of these screengrabs, is here. Here's why it all looks convincing:



  • The emails to Ivy Frye, a Palin aide who's mentioned in the earlier email stories specifically wondering how best to hide her correspondence with the governor.

  • The attached contact list (below) features an email address for husband Todd Palin that is legit. As well as an apparently genuine phone number for Bristol Palin and an address for Beth Leschper, Palin's deputy communications director.

  • The email from Amy McCorkell, a known associate of Palin's from Wasilla who might have the governor's personal email address.

  • Emails to and from Lt Governor Sean Parnell about a local radio talk host.

  • Calls to the phone number listed for Bristol Palin apparently go to her voicemail.

  • The public profile for the gov.palin address dates its last update to April of this year—well before she became McCain's running mate. So if it's a hoax, it's a hoax that began long before anyone outside of Alaska cared about Palin.

  • We haven't seen these family photos before. Have we?

  • The previously accessible public profiles for gov.sarah@yahoo and gov.palin@yahoo were both deleted at the same time.


Here are the screenshots of the emails saved before the account went dark, along with the contact list. It's newsworthy and we will not be taking it down!

A faster YouTube and Google Video

Viddler is a video sharing service that goes deeper than other mainstream video sites like Google Video and its sister Youtube by offering users the ability to add tags and comments to particular points in a video.

Comments on Youtube videos sometimes refer to a specific time point in the video. Viddler takes this a step further by letting users tag specific moments, which people can comment on and discuss to their hearts’ content.

Users can also link to and embed videos, either in entirety, or from a point they select, making Viddler quite a bit more flexible than Youtube. And although Google Video recently included the ability to link to particular points in a video, Viddler makes it easier to do, and combines this feature with a number of others.

Users can also upload multiple videos simultaneously, and uploading will not pause your operating interface.

Viddler’s max video size is a whopping 500 megabytes — five times more than Youtube.

Corporate Twitter for Large Enterprises

Yammer is Twitter with a business model. Created by an existing company, Geni, to scratch its own itch, Yammer takes the familiar Twitter messaging system and applies it to internal corporate communications. There is such a huge demand for this type of service that 10,000 people and 2,000 organizations signed up for the service the first day it launched on Monday. Anyone with a corporate email can sign up and follow other people in their company. But if a company wants to claim its users, and gain administrative control over them, they will have to pay. It’s a brilliant business model.

CERN caused Solar Halo in India and Girl Suicide?

A halo around the sun seen from Siliguri last week triggered curiosity as well as rumours as it coincided with the start of the Big Bang experiment in Geneva.

When the aura around the Sun became visible around 11.30am, the people of the town started making calls to their near and dear ones, trying to gauge what exactly the phenomenon was.

Burst of light in the sky, sudden darkness and now this. Could this be connected? It happened exactly at the time of starting of the LHC. The CERN has created quite a flutter in India with a girl committing suicide over 'end of the world' fears.

Punishing the illegal money makers in disaster sites

Here are some reports of price gouging from fox news:
990 of Sunmart's 1,704 fuel pumps cheated consumers (58 percent)
47 Sunmart stations cheated customers on more than half of their pumps
15 of those 47 stations had every single pump cheating drivers.
TDA shut down all of the non-compliant pumps.

People are encouraged to report any suspected gouging especially noted in past disasters hotels, gas stations and convenience stores that have been caught taking advantage of other people’s unfortunate situation during a disaster. Goods that frequently have their prices artificially raised include gas, drinking water, batteries and food.

The Texas AAA recommends that if you think you have been gouged to keep your receipts and file a report with the Texas Attorney General here. The Texas Attorney General has already warned that gougers will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Reports can be filed by telephone at 1-800-252-8011.

How to increase your eCPM rates

If your website has adopted technology like AJAX or Flash then Pageless Tracking in Google Web Optimizer may help you. Internet marketers rely heavily on CPM metrics to structure advertising campaigns. Normal web analytic reports may not show all user activity on websites powered by heavy AJAX or Flash technology. When impressions & pageviews are no longer indicative of user interactivity, advertising rates can be misleading to both the advertiser and publisher. Only accurate tracking that include non-pageview activity and time-spent- on-site will help determine more fair CPM rates in future advertising deals. Being able to track pageless activity may help increase your CPM rates in future advertising deals. This new feature in Google Web Optimizer will surely help publishers increase their CPM (cost per thousand impressions) rates.

Bring more visitors with HDTV enabled blog video

You know time and again I have blogged about video blogging and several times made you realize that you need good content in order to drive more traffic. Many a times I need to post quick and easy videos to my blog at my own leisure when I am gardening or moaning my lawn. Well you know that the concept of putting true HD (high definition) video recording capability is not really a rocket science phenomenon anymore. Several bloggers like John Chow who make more than $30,000 in a month by mere blogging have set examples on their blogs and how they post the quick videos and drive traffic. So I believe that a small investment from ABG Solar catalog can make you millionaire in no time.

See the HD recording cam today at http://www.abgsolar.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=30_31&products_id=178

1. You can now capture the real moments of your life and preserve them on your blog

3. You can load the videos with features, and in a stylish package

These three features are provided to you in a unique product to make any moment of your life in exquisite HD color,and true life or real life quality. Moreover you can even capture vibrant still photos that will remain as clear as your own memories for the rest of your life. The site also has user reviews posted that you can see for yourself. I havent personally seen the reviews, but I firmly believe that it meets the needs of any average blogger like me. Even the price has shown a from from its old Price of $166.25 all the way down to $149.63, which is a significant amount of savings direct from ABG Solar.

If you need it or if you want it or just gotta have it, then ABG Solar is the only place. I also liked their Deluxe Spinning Spa Brush Set that would help pamper my body with a deluxe spinning bath/spa brush and make me feel like I checked into a spa. I cant wait to order these items from ABG Solar. Do you know what is holding you back then?

Here is the model that I love the most and cant wait to buy:

Innovative fleshy ways to make money from paid ads

It seems that some airlines are offering as much as $600 for placing a billboard tattoo on back of your head while travelling in the airport. There were reports of one man offering his head as a tattoo billboard for offers above $250,000; another is asking for $1m, promising that the proceeds will go to charity. For just $7,000, a Texan network services firm, has turned a Jeff Nelson into the world's first human billboard, by tattooing an advertisement onto the nape of his neck. The possibilities are endless. I had even seen a blonde Canadian blogger wear bra and panties on the beach with the paid ads. BTW, can someone jog my memory to help me remember the name of that Canadian blondie?

Lower traffic due to BlogPicks going offline

My blog was ranked #1 on BlogPicks.net for the last few months and was a factor for incoming traffic and getting good CPM for my ads. BlogPicks was surely a topsite for blogs.

How it worked was that you submit your site to our list, and you place a link code to your blog’s home page (either text or banner). Every time you send a visitor to BlogPicks, it registers as a unique hit. The more hits you send, the higher up your site is ranked. And the higher up your site is on the page the more exposure you get!

As the site BlogPicks.net has been taken down without any notice, all my traffic has been reduced by 20%. This means that my estimated target of $1000 for Sep 2008 will be reduced to $800. Let see what happens. Hope BlogPicks staff is listening and will try to restore the site again with full functionality. Our prayers are with you BlogPicks team!

Are double eclipse bad for bloggers?

Year 2008 had only 4 eclipses, whereas it is estimated that there will be 6 eclipses in 2008. Some people believe that the timing of the eclipse is ill-fated and bad things come with it. Others believe that the eclipse is a blessing. The studies of psychology shows that suicide rates, rapes, and neurological problem increases as you reach the Full Moon. This is perhaps due to psychological affiliation with Moon. Moon has gravity on Earth, some people are senstivie to it (we dont say Romanticism scientific, but in the end, it comes under Science). In Full Moon, your weight decreases by few grams because Moon is pulling you as well due to its gravity. There are plenty of successful recordings of this effect. Anyways here is the table of the present and future eclipse dates in case you are planning to make some serious blogging miracles during these dates, then just be aware of these dates.

Annular Solar Eclipse: 2008 February 07
Total Lunar Eclipse: 2008 Feb 21
Total Solar Eclipse: 2008 August 01
Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2008 August 16

Annular Solar Eclipse: 2009 Jan 26
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: 2009 Feb 09

Make money idea: Selling Mineral Makup wholesale online

Mineral makeup wholesale will allow you to quit your day job and enjoy each day selling makeup!

If you are currently dissatisfied with your job or business, then I recommend selling mineral makeup.

There are LOADS of ways to make money with mineral makeup and many people are doing it!

Don't allow fear or insecurity to prevent you from making a positive career change.

With mineral makeup you can start small, and build up to any size company you like!

I'll begin here with the basics of mineral makeup wholesale buying and reselling.

-Easy start up (most companies have low minimums)

-Easy to learn (even if you know nothing about makeup like I did)

-Has virtually no shelf life (so you can stock up to save money in the long run)

-Allows you to express your creativity

-Allows you to work on YOUR time schedule and at YOUR own pace

-It is so exciting!!

-Excellent profit margin

-Easy to locate a good source

-Provides waves of customers who return over and over for "their" colors!

Etc.

The list goes on and on.

It is just a great product to sell!

STEPS TO TAKE:

**If you are clueless as to where to even start, I recommend starting with a simple web search.

Search for terms like: wholesale mineral makeup, mineral makeup wholesale, mineral makeup wholesale supplier, etc...

You will find a bevy of great mineral makeup companies to buy from. Buy from the company YOU find works best for you.

So search around till you find a supplier you are interested in.

Buy some samples from their retail line if possible to make sure the quality of the makeup is excellent and to your personal liking.

Keep in mind that you if YOU aren't in love with a certain mineral makeup wholesale brand, then you won't be able to sell with as much enthusiasm as if you did really love it. That will affect sales.

So make sure you love it and are excited about it!

**Once you have numerous samples of the mineral makeup wholesale line, decide on your plan of action.

Will you sell only to friends and family, or will you sell at flea markets? Will you go online and face the internet world?

Remember, even if you know NOTHING about the web, like I did, you can still create a website that gets great traffic rankings. Or you can sell on eBay or other auction sites. There are many options.

Think on it, come up with multiple ideas, and then move on.

**You need to make your first mineral makeup wholesale purchase eventually. Ask the seller or look around her site for info about her most popular colors and start with these.

In general, neutral, natural shades sell the best. Light to medium foundations will by far outsell darker shades. This will depend upon your clientèle, however. If you will be selling mostly do darker skinned women, then by all means, go with mostly darker foundation shades.

I recommend carrying one or two neutral cheek colors.

For eyeshadow, start with a good natural brown and cream shade, and begin adding other colors as time and money permit.

So start small if you are unsure and tight on money. As your confidence and money supply builds, then expand your offerings to cover most customer requests. Don't try to please everybody or you'll be constantly disappointed and frazzled.

Begin building your website, listing your eBay auctions, planning your local sales, having makeup parties, etc. Whichever money-making plans you choose, I recommend highly giving the internet a shot. That has the potential to catapult you to monetary heights you might have never dreamed of.

**Odds and ends of your new business will really get confusing at times. Which size labels do I order for which size jar? How do I seal my jars for shipment? What is the best shipping company to use?

I understand your frustration. When this happens, just take it slowly and surely and you WILL get it. Whatever you do, just don't give up. Keep plugging along and things will smooth over... you'll find the sources, ideas and people you like working with and things will flow. But you must keep your head level and don't get frustrated with your mineral makeup wholesale adventure.

**Labels: You will need 1.67 inch labels for standard 30 gram makeup jars.

You will need 1.67 inch labels for standard 20 gram makeup jars (same diameter, but shorter than the 30 gram jar)

You will need 1.2 inch labels for standard 10 gram makeup jars.

You will need 1 inch labels for standard 5 gram makeup jars.

You can get any color you like. Get waterproof if you want really slick, professional labels. But simple paper labels will work just fine and those are what I use.

**Jars:

Mineral makeup jars can be confusing...

30 gram jars actually hold on average 10 grams of loose powder.

20 gram jars actually hold on average 5 grams of loose powder.

10 gram jars actually hold on average 2.5 grams of loose powder.

5 gram jars actually hold on average 1 grams of loose powder.

The reason for the discrepancy is: The jars are sold according to how much of a LIQUID ingredient they would hold. If you were to fill up a 30 gram jar with water, it would hold 30 grams by weight.But when you fill it up with loose, fluffy powder (less dense than water), it only holds on average, about 10 grams by weight.

When filling your powder into your various jar sizes, I recommend stainless steel measuring spoons with a flat back (that way you can turn the spoon over after filling powder into your jar and tap the powder down into the jar with the back of the spoon).

A 1/8 cup round coffee scoop works great for filling the 20 and 30 gram mineral makeup jars.

Deciding which color goes in which jar will be up to you. Some people sell each color in each jar size. I personally don't want to stock that many items, so I sell each color in one size retail, but multiple sizes wholesale.

Just start somewhere. You can adjust later on if you like.

To keep your jars secure if shipping, you can either apply clear sticker seals over the jars (or buy jars that already have the seal on the sifter), and/or shrink wrap them. A shrink wrap is just a small, plastic sleeve that you wrap around your jar, then blast with your blow dryer or heat gun. It shrinks up around the jar, for a professional, sealed look. (Remember applying colored shrink sleeves to eggs on Easter as a kid? This is the same principle).

**Makeup Brushes. You will want to sell mineral makeup brushes along with your mineral makeup powder.

Sell at least one kabuki style for sure. Then begin adding in a nice powder brush, eye shadow brush, concealer brush, brush kit, etc.

Kits that include brushes and mineral makeup are great for beginners, so come up with some ideas for that.

Once you have gathered all your supplies, you are well on your way to selling mineral makeup.

**Keep in mind during the whole process that it is okay to start small and build later. Start with the basic supplies and as resources permit, add more in time.

Also, don't get in a rush. You CAN start making money right away, but don't get frustrated or overwhelmed with everything you need to do. Just take each thing one at a time and it will happen.

**Don't get stuck in a rut of thinking you can only sell mineral makeup retail. You can also sell mineral makeup WHOLESALE! There are many other people wanting to get started in the mineral makeup wholesale industry, and you can supply them!

Repackage your bulk makeup into whatever sizes you like (1 oz or 4 oz or 16 oz, etc...) and sell for a profit to OTHERS wanting to package it themselves!

Or fill the jars, leave them unlabeled and sell for a profit. Or, label them and sell them under your own brand name for salons and spas to carry. There are many options for your mineral makeup wholesale business.

**Shipping Options:

You can use any shipping company you like. If you are unsure, just start by shipping your packages from your local post office.

Eventually move to printing your labels online, as this will be quicker than hand-writing each label, and also provide a record of each shipment made.

**Payment:

Paypal is a great way to accept money if you don't have a merchant account. You can even print your shipping labels directly from there.

People can pay you with their paypal account or a credit card ( they don't even have to have a paypal account!).

**Legal:

You do need to set up your business legally with your state sooner rather than later. I recommend scouting out an accountant , and having them do your books and set you up in the proper business. Whether you will become a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC or corporation, will depend upon your personal needs and desires.

25 most romantic movies that will make anyone want to fall in love

Romance movies and related genre movies are my kinda movies and most of my all time favourite movies are in this genre. Who would not like to watch a good romance movie with his Girlfriend or Boyfriend? I would love to do anything to make Serendipity happen for any true lover...I believe that is my personal calling, after seeing so many romance movies. If I can unite at least one lover together with his better half, THROUGH MY BLOG then I will believe that I have fully lived my life.

I have listed movies which are ideal and suitable for viewing in this season.. The movies have same theme but each movie is different from the others. From Fantasy (City of Angels) to Drama (Elizabethtown) Romantic-Comedy (You’ve Got Mail) to Comedy (La Vita è Bella) to War (The English Patient) to Animation (Antz) to even Sci-Fi (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)!



25. Serendipity


serendipity

Another one of the movie which I really dint like much, but a great flick with your GF/BF. I really can’t understand why anyone will want to try your luck on fate with that special person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with?


Jonathan (John Cusack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) meet at Bloomingdales when they want to buy the same pair of gloves. The attraction is instant and it’s love at first sight for Jonathan. They spend that night together. Jonathan wants to see her again but Sara insists it is fate that they should be together and they will find each other again. They separate and almost never find each other. After some point of point, it was boring and I got impatient if they will ever meet!


John is likeable, he is great actor to play romantic roles. Kate Beckinsale is a stunningly gorgeous woman with great hair. Both John and Kate give good performance, the movie might be entertaining if you watch this flick with your soul mate.


Most Romantic Moment:The Ending at the New York Ice skating arena where Jonathan and Sara meet. It was snowing at the time and they were lying on the ground.

Romantic Quote:“Jonathan: Let’s go do something.

Sara: Allright, what d’ya wanna do?

Jonathan: I don’t care.

Sara: Allright, come on “

24. The Princess Bride


princess bride

This movie is a fairy tale Adventure - Romance saga. I don’t think big macho boys will like this movie. But it’s a perfect romantic movie to watch with your partner.


A grandfather reads a bedtime like fable to his grandson. When lovely Buttercup is kidnapped by a gang; Dread Pirate Roberts, Westley comes to save her. He eventually dies but death is no barrier to true love and in the end it’s ok!

It got all the ingredients of a adventure movie, quicksand, 6 foot tall gaint, beasts. Rodents, chasing, escapes and sword fight!


Its’ an adaption of the fable written by William Goldman. The movie adds a smart charming flavour to a simple fairy tale. It has witty, funny dialogue. That’s the key to the liking the movie. If you find the dialogues funny and humorous, then you’ll prolly like the movie. The characters were extremely memorable as well.


A true ’80s classic movie!


Most Romantic Moment:“Since the invention of the kiss there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind. The End.” The quote of the grandfather alone with the passionate kissing is truly warm and romantic!

Romantic Quote:“You can’t hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love. And you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords. “

23. 50 First Dates


50 first dates


Even though I don’t like 50 First Dates very much, it’s a good watch with your Girlfriend/Boyfriend. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore star in this romantic-comedy which has many funny and witty moments. Drew Barrymore looks gorgeous as ever.


Adam Sandler tries to help Drew Barrymore who has a short-term memory loss and forgets anything the very next day. She goes through the same activity everyday. Adam Sandler tries different techniques to help her but it’s all vain. But in the end, he goes ahead and marries Drew Barrymore; and the obvious they-lived-happily-ever-after!


The end credits come with the song : “Every Breath You Take” by The Police, the song that I like very much and it has features in the 50 First Dates screenplay may be little “unbelievable”, but is a very enjoyable movie, and that what counts.


Most Romantic Moment:At the end, when Drew Barrymore wakes up from her sleep, watches the tape which shows about her wedding. She then see herself with her kid, Adam Sandler and her father in a boat following which is Every breath you take song with the end credits…

Romantic Quote: “Can I have one last first kiss? “

22. Antz


antz

Do you think that only humans love? Antz portrays a love between two ants and how far they go to show their affection to their lady love! Antz is an animated movie from the Dreamworks stable.


This is same old boy-meets-girl-fall-in-love-live-happily-ever-after story. A rather neurotic ant tries to break from his totalitarian society while trying to win the affection of the princess he loves. But still it’s enjoyable with your GF/BF.


The cast (voice) may be impressive with the likes of Woody Allen, Sylvester Stallone, Gene Hackman, Jennifer Lopez, Sharon Stone.. but I’m not a fan of “star voices”.


This is a animated movie, which adults can relate to and enjoy more than kids.


Most Romantic Moment:Nothing like ants kissing!

Romantic Quote: “There you have it: your average boy-meets-girl, boy-likes-girl, boy-changes-the-underlying-social-order story. “

21. Sleepless in Seattle


sleepless in seattle

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan act together for the next time after their Joe Versus the Volcano. No one can beat their on screen chemistry. Nora Ephron makes good touching romantic movies. She also directed You’ve Got Mail starring the same actors.


Sam Baldwin’s (Tom Hanks) son Jonah Baldwin (Ross Malinger) makes him talk to a radio talk show as Jonah thinks that his father needs a woman in order to get his life back in order. Hundreds of Women write to him, one of the women is Annie (Meg Ryan)


Meg Ryan is cute as ever. Tom Hanks is a great versatile actor, he plays a father. There is nothing new or notable in this flick, but it’s a warm and touching romantic comedies which is perfect to watch in a lazy day!


Most Romantic Moment:Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan holding hands and walking together on the top of the Empire State building.


7.5/10

20. Pretty Woman


pretty women

Pretty women is a good romantic movie, with comedy as well; but the comedy is not that much when compared to the other movies of similar genres. But I really liked the movie and I saw without any break. It has a perfect blend of humor and romance.


Edward (Richard Gere) and Vivian (Julia Roberts) are shrewd businessman and a prostitute. They both meet up accidently at Beverly Hills. Edward is moved by the charming personality of Vivian and asks her to stay with him the Penthouse of a Hotel. Later asks her company to his social events. They take a liking to each other and with some minor complications later (feature of so called romantic comedies), they end up.. watch the movie!


Richard Gere and Julia Roberts give a good star studded performance. This movie is Julia’s first movie but if you dint know about this, you will prolly not know that this is her first movie. I think you’ll never imagine Julia playing a prostitute.


Most Romantic Moment:When Edward and Vivian enact the Shakespeare opera scene, with comic references. /em>

Romantic Quote: “I’m gonna treat you so nice, you’re never gonna let me go.”

19. America’s Sweethearts


americas sweetheart


America’s Sweethearts was one of the first so called Romantic Comedies that I watched (in HBO) and I really liked it. It’s is good cute romantic flick with comic moments.


After they’ve broken up, a married movie star couple (John Cusack, Catherine Zeta-Jones) still have to go out and promote the movie they made together while they were in love, even though they now hate each other.Here comes the movie director tries to divert attention by concocting the story of the couple’s reunion..when in fact, the actor is actually in love with his wife’s formerly fat assistant (Julia Roberts), and the actress has found a new beau named Hector (Hank Azaria). Billy crystal has co-written the script.


A wonderful and talented cast comprising of Julia Roberts, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Billy Crystal, John Cusack star in America’s Sweethearts. Catherine ZJ is my sweetheart, she was lovely in this movie. Billy Crystal and Catherine Zeta-Jones played a good role, even if they dint have big part to play in this flick.


The movie has a lot of brilliant and humourous one liners I loved it and could watch it over and over again! To sum up: Sweet, romantic, heart-warming, and hilarious romantic comedy.


Romantic Quote: “Lee: And if you’re in love, you should just go for it… The way you went for this breakfast. “

18. Hitch


hitch

I like Will Smith and his comic antics (remember Bad Boys, Men in Black, Independence day). I watched this flick with an open mind. After all most of the so called Romantic comedies almost have the same storyline. But I really liked this movie.


Will Smith plays a “Date Doctor” helping his clients in getting their dream date. He meets Eva Mendes. Again the same old romantic movie formula - boy-meets-girl-falls-in-love-complications happens-in-the-end-make-up-marry-live-happily-ever-after.


It’s a cute light hearted love story with comic references. I am a Will Smith fan and liked him. Will Smith is fantastic with his never ending charm. Eva mendes is hot and lovely as usual. Hitch is a movie that makes single people and new couples alike believe in finding love in this cynical world. A Cute date movie for Valentine’s Day!


Most Romantic Moment:The end credits have a wedding and song, which was really good with Will Smith and Eva Mendes dancing and kissing!

Romantic Quote: “Sara: So, you kinda like me, huh?

Alex Hitch Hitchens: No. I love you. “

17. When Harry Met Sally…


when harry met sally

What happens when a boy meets a girl? Can two friends sleep together and still love each other in the morning? Can men and women really be friends? This movie attempts to explore these issues. When Harry Met Sally… touches so much on the difference between men and women: the most enduring conflict in history, and one that is will continue to rage on until humanity is extinct. This is the ultimate battle of the sexes movie!


The storyline is simple.. Can a guy and a girl be friends without sex getting in the way? We see Harry and sally met for the first time and never seem to like each other. But in the end, it’s obvious. A girl and boy can really be friends. There is a lot of comic moments and memorable moments; the infamous orgasm scene, NY cinematography, New year eve party scene, 4 split screen telephonic talk, etc..


The movie great New York cinematography. Maybe the best NY set romantic comedy. Nora Ephron has written the story and screenplay. She has some movies to her credit like You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, etc. The movie can in 1989 and still it’s fresh every time I see it and hasn’t aged till this moment.


The dialogue is funny, well-placed and realistic, it has really good acting ,a great cast (any movie with Meg Ryan has a great cast for me!) it features a supreme sense opinion exploring both sexes, it… It’s just amazing, the perfect romantic comedy. Great movie for both sexiest.


Most Romantic Moment:The climax of the movie, when Harry comes to a new year day eve party to tell Sally he loves her. This was The best New Year’s Eve scene in any movie.

Romantic Quote: “I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

16. Four Weddings and a Funeral


4 wedding

Four Weddings and a Funeral is a British Romantic comedy. The movie is witty and funny. It has many hilarious and comic moments and I am sure that it will tickle up your funny bone.


The film revolves around Charles and his friends. The title itself will give some idea as to what the plot is. Four of Charles friends get married and his friends (and himself) wonder if at he will get married. his British subtle comedy revolves around Charlie, his friends and the four weddings and one funeral which they attend.


The movie has Kristin Scott Thomas (my fav. actor), Andie MacDowell, Hugh Grant, John Hannah and not to forget Rowan Atkinson. I usually like movies which has many actors starring. Rowan makes a small appearance but gives a impact to this movie. The best was when the priest-in-training (Rowan) messing up the vows.

Kristin Scott Thomas as usuall gives a wonderful performance and looks lovely and cute too. I would have really loved to see Charles get Fiona rather than Carrie. Carrie and Fiona both look lovely, but I thought Carrie on the whole (leave the last dialogue part) did give a fine performance and overshadowed Fiona.


Most Romantic Moment:In the end when Carrie comes wet (it was raining) to Charles’s house, he says his proposal to her at last. The lines are quoted below.

Romantic Quote: “Charles: Let me ask you one thing. Do you think - after we’ve dried off, after we’ve spent lots more time together - you might agree *not* to marry me? And do you think not being married to me might maybe be something you could consider doing for the rest of your life?

Carrie: I do. “

15. Notting Hill


notting hill

Notting Hill is a Sparkling and charming romantic comedy. It’s a British movie. I thought Julia roberts and Hugh Grant share a great on-screen chemistry bringing out emotions, expressions in ease. Both the characters are absolutely adorable.


It’s love at first sight for William Thacker (Grant) when a famous star (Julia) walks in to his little bookstore in Notting Hill, London. Then a series of developments bring William and Anna closer and they love each other but have difficulties in the end. Even if it has the same old predictable and niché ending which all this romantic comedies have, we will love the movie.


The photography and settings show off London beautifully, and the story’s interior scenes make highly imaginative use of a narrow, stacked-up Notting Hill mini-townhouse.The movie has many comic moments and we will have a good laugh, after watching it. Rhys Ifans plays a gay character and I have never seen a “joker” like him in movies. The dialogues between Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts are both romantic and comic. One of the few romantic-comedy I really laughed out while watching!


It’s one of the movies which make you want to see more than once, and you will enjoy it the every time you see it. It lightens the mood after watching the movie.


Most Romantic Moment:When William and Anna are in the park at night (after climbing over the fence), and Anna kisses William while the song “When you say nothing at all” plays in the background.

Romantic Quote: ” ‘For June who loved this garden from Joseph who always sat beside her.’ Some people do spend their whole lives together.”

14. You’ve Got Mail




Another romantic comdy from Nora Ephron. She has already made a movie with Tom and Ryan, Sleepless in Seattle. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have a great on screen chemistry and all their three movie together was a hit. I think they should act more movies together.


Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly talk, chat over the internet but they don’t know that are business rivals who hate each other. Joe puts Kathleen out of business by opening a chain store close to her little shop. Tom Hanks character comes across as the arrogant person who want to make money but when he is talking to Meg Ryan on the internet, we see another side of him. So he see two different levels, one is the internet chat and the other is hate of business rivals saga.


Meg Ryan is such a beautiful woman, so cute, so adorable and such a good actress for this kind of movie. The way she bounces; the way she walks when she is happy, with her head slightly bobbing back; forth like she is dancing to some wonderful music no one else hears, makes me very happy. He body language is perfect.


It’s got a little bit of romance, social commentary, literary references, great side characters. Hanks and Ryan are of the perfect chemistry. You’ve Got Mail has a more emotional ending , I would liked to see the movie extend, but anyway it was great movie. I just Love this movie! Love these people! Makes me feel so good! It just makes my day and puts me into good and cheerful mood.


Most Romantic Moment:The last scene where Meg Ryan wait for the person who has been mailing her, but she was in love with Tom Hanks, but in the end it turned out that the person who mailed was none other than Tom Hanks.

Romantic Quote: “Joe Fox: Don’t cry, Shopgirl. Don’t cry.

Kathleen Kelly: I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly. “

13. Vanilla Sky


vanilla sky

LoveHateDreamsLifeWorkPlayFriendshipSex … goes the tagline of this movie. That’s a lot of things to digest! Note that there is no space between the words, in the movie also the developments criss cross each other. It’s a complex and confusing movie and we might find difficult to understand the developments that take place. I must admit that I dint understand the movie fully. Vanilla Sky needs multiple viewing to understand the plot better.


A successful publisher finds his life taking a turn for the surreal after a car accident with a jaded lover. Thats the plot of the movie. It’s a phycological thriller and a mystery as well. Never mind the plot, most of us understand it unless we watch for 3-4 times.


Tom Cruise looks his best in this movie, not too old (like in War of the Worlds) nor too young (like in Rain man). Penélope Cruz looks absoultley fresh and stunning, thats what I call: “If looks can kill”! I have not seen any other movie of hers, but I am gonna check them out. She looks fresh and lovely. Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz and Cameron Diaz do a wonderful job. Men love Penélope Cruz and women Tom Cruise!


This movie is an under rated movie for sure. I like Cameron Crowe movie a lot. I liked Elizabethtown also, which is also listed in this post. I really like the way he makes movies. He gives some sort of message. My only complaint is that he makes movies once in 3-4 years. All together a good movie to be watched in a lazy afternoon.


Most Romantic Moment:The first time when Sofia meets David in his party. They talk about

Romantic Quote: “David: And to what do I owe this pleasure?

Sofía: The pleasure of Sofia Serrano. “

12. The Terminal


the terminal

The Terminal brings back the good old Spielberg from the ET days. We see again his childlike playfulness. This film made me laugh and it’s funny (Tom Hanks was brilliant just as he was in Big), has romance, a brilliant script and a good direction.


The Terminal is a real life story of a man, Viktor Navorski who finds himself stranded in JFK airport (NY), due to the coup in his country and is not allowed entry in the USA. He makes the Internation Travel lounge as his temporary residence, meets Catherine ZJ and makes friends with the shop keepers there.


This movie does not have the usual Romance flavour. Maybe the writer/director wanted to avoid the boy-gets-girl cliché in the end. Catherine ZJ either continued her character trait of making bad choices, or perhaps made a sacrifice to help him (like his other friends) and the price for the hardship visa was going back to the married man.


The movie has two parallel love stories. One between Viktor and Warren. The other is between Enrique and Torres. Enrique gets Torres. Toorres and Catherine ZJ are both lovely to watch. Caterine ZJ has an aura and charm around around her which cant be explained by words. She is one of my favourite actors. She is back in here lovely girl looks with a new looks.


The whole Napoleon and Josephine references are really good. It was used well in this movie with Catherine ZJ and Tom Hanks. It’s a feel good movie and somekind of inspirational movie. If you liked Big, Cast Away and fan of Catherine ZJ, then you will like this flick as well.


Most Romantic Moment: Tom Hanks and Catheine ZJ have dinner in a gate of the airport, it was a moonlight dinner.

Romantic Quote: “Stanley Tucci : You are the kind of woman who can get any guy she wants. Why Viktor Navorski?

Amelia Warren : That’s something a guy like you

could never understand.”

11. Shakespeare in Love




If Gwyneth Paltrow stars in any movie, then I am in it too! She is cute, beautiful and does act well too. She won a Oscar for the best actress for this movie. Don’t get fooled on the name of the movie,it’s supposed to be the Shakespeare adaptation but it’s not, and that’s worked out well and movie was good.


A young Shakespeare, out of ideas and short of cash, meets his ideal woman and is inspired to write one of his most famous plays. So we have two love stories one is the play itself and the other between the lead actors.


Shakespeare in Love is set in the 19th century (maybe even before, I don’t know fir sure) and we get to know more about the people and place at that time. The settings are damn good, in fact it won the Oscar for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration. This is a spectacular drama, it has a remarkable score, brilliant direction, wonderful performances from everyone involved, and an ingeniously written script and has Gwyneth Paltrow!


Most Romantic Moment: When the lead pair enact William Shakespeare and Viola De Lesseps as lovers and the famous giving up life for lady love scene…

Romantic Quote: “I love you, Will, beyond poetry.”

10. City of Angels


city of angels

City of Angels is a simple romance with sentiment movie. City of Angels has Meg Ryan, who I like for her cute face. Men can watch this movie for Meg Ryan and women adore Nicolas Cage!


This is a story where an Angel (Nicolas Cage) falls in love with Meg Ryan. Nicolas Cage gives up his “angelhood” for the cause of love.


City of Angels is a sentiment movie. I really like such movies, and that too which has my favourite actors.


Most Romantic Moment: When Meg Ryan cycles her way back to guest house, she was thinking about Nicolas Cage and wind breezes through her.. everything goes right till she meets with an accident.

Romantic Quote: “I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.”

9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind


eternal sunshine of spotless mind

Jim Carrey in a Sci-Fi / Romance movie? How good will the movie be? This is only movie where I have seen Jim Carrey do such serious role. I thought all his career he did stupid cable guy or Ace Ventura roles. I have always liked Kate Winslet after watching Titanic.


A couple (Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet) undergo a procedure to erase each other from their memories when their relationship turns sour, but it is only through the process of loss that they discover what they had to begin with.


Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a weird,bizarre movie yet enjoyable. The fozen lake, beach scenes are very tender, loving and beautiful. The cast is strong. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in the lead, Elijah Wood returns from LOTR, Kirsten Dunst and Mark Ruffalo.


The movie has been made with little details taken care of, we will enjoy the movie with repeat viewing. This is one of the best movie that I have seen in 2004. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a masterpiece.


Most Romantic Moment: When Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet talk lying on the frozen lake.

Romantic Quote: “I could die right now, Clem. I’m just… happy. I’ve never felt that before. I’m just exactly where I want to be. “

8. Elizabethtown




Cameron Crowe (Director & Writer) makes motion pictures about moments, not momentum. It’s based on relations, friendship and love for other souls. We tend to like the small and subtle reference that Crowe introduces to the movie watchers. It was a film with meaning and depth.


Drew Baylor (Orlando Bloom) is very depressed as he is a failure in his job and wants to end his life, when he comes to know of his fathers death. He flies to Kentucky to arrange a funeral, where he meets Claire Colburn (Kirsten Dunst) in flight. Now they meet again and a unexpected romance blooms between them. It’s emotional rollercoaster he was riding as he experienced the failure on the job, planning suicide, and then finding out his father was dead, finding Claire and discovering life.. we are also made to sit in the roller coaster. A great film about relationships, about life and death, about what we do with our lives while we are here.


Guys will like Claire who is sooooo cute and gals will adore Drew who has a chocolate-boy image. Claire makes a dairy sort of thing for Drew to keep company in his roadtrip. I know she would have worked hard to make it , it has CDs, pictures and instruction to Drew during his drive. It’s so beautiful and I really liked that I wished my wife also makes something like that for me.


The Kentucky county, Elizabethtown, Louisville, whole smalltown reference, with the roadtrip sequence (with the wonderful soundtrack of course where we enjoy roadside attractions and landmarks) is wonderful and makes us watch the movie again.


Watch with your GF/BF, you will certainly enjoy the movie for sure.; even if you personally don’t like the movie (highly unlikely!).Purchase this movie DVD, it’s worth more viewings. Elizabethtown is a movie which is to be enjoyed in a Autumn lazy Sunday afternoon.


Most Romantic Moment:When Drew and Claire meet in a market at the end of the movie, the soundtrack at that moment was amazing.

Romantic Quote: “I’m going to miss your lips. And everything attached to them.”

7. Love Actually


love actually

Love Actually is my favourite Romantic Comedy movie. It’s a British movie shot in London. It was a refreshing change for me after watching so many “Hollywood” movies.

It’s about the lives of 8 couples five weeks before Christmas and the sequence of events that unfolds with happiness, gloom, success, sacrifice etc.. The movie showcases people who do all it takes to have relationship with the people they love.


It’s a entertaining movie with funny moments. There is fact eight short stories within the movie which dont get mixed with others or atleast not that much. The cast is huge and wonderful. Many of my favourite are casted: Liam Neeson (and Thomas Sangster as his son), Keira Knightley (damn cute), Hugh Grant (as Prime Minister), Billy Bob Thornton(small role but make a good impact), Rowan Atkinson (funny as ever), Alan Rickman (Severus Snape in Potter movies), and many others..


Love Actually is a rare movie where we have a great screenplay to back great acting performances. Love Actually is not a love story, it is a story about love. How love unites people who come from different walks of life… I am sure that Love Actually lighten your mood and feel good after watching the movie!

6. A Walk to Remember


a walk to remember

A Walk to Remember (AWTR) is a “teen” movie. But dont get me wrong, it’s not the usual type of teen movie and it’s not R Rated! Yes it’s a romance movie but you will fell warm and brimimg with positive emotions after you have watched this movie.


The story of two North Carolina teens, Landon Carter (West) and Jamie Sullivan (Moore), who are thrown together after Landon gets into trouble and is made to do community service. Jamie is not the usual girl; she is conservative, god fearing, doesn’t care for what others think about her, cute (even without any makeup). Landon was the usual guy who likes chicks, want to enjoy life, have fun untill he meets Jamie and his life changes forever.


A story of who two polar opposite teenagers get together and do anything for their love. AWTR showcases how true love needs to be, Landon is a perfect guy and Jamie is a perfect girl.


AWTR is not the type of movie, who look for “fun and frolic” type of romance movie like 50 First Dates. It got a sad but positive ending. I couldn’t resist weeping while I watched this movie. I found myself wishing I were either Landon or Jamie, because they represent the real virtues of life and love. I wish I get a girl like Jamie.


Most Romantic Moment:Shane West and Mandy Moore get out of the town and have a drive down the highway, where they talk, name stars(!), and kiss and express love for each other.

Romantic Quote: “Landon: I might kiss you.

Jamie: I might be bad at it.

Landon: That’s not possible.”

5. The English Patient


english patient

Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas are one of my favourite actors, Kristin has one of the cutest face that I like. This made me like the movie even more. Now I have a liking for Juliette Binoche after watching her Oscar winning performance!


At the close of WWII, a young nurse tends to a badly-burned plane crash victim. His past is shown in flashbacks, revealing an involvement in a fateful love affair. There are two love stories, one is Ralph Fiennes-Kristin Scott Thomas and the other Juliette Binoche-Naveen Andrews. One fails and one suceeds.


The way Ralph Fiennes asked for the car from the British soldiers to save his lover’s life, walking 3 days on foot in the hot desert and finally keeping up his promise to Kristen was really touching and moving.


The English Patient is not the usual kind of romance movie, it’s sad and you cry as well. It has a beautiful desert backdrop. The movie was not about kissing and romance scenes by the lead actors, it was more that.. taking Ralph Fiennes out in the rain, Naveen Andrews-Juliette Binoche exploring the church painting…

This movie explore themes of love.


Most Romantic Moment: When Juliette Binoche reads out the letter to Ralph Fiennes that Kristin Scott Thomas had written to him. Juliette Binoche admisters the morphine overdose to Ralph Fiennes, and he listen to the letter. The exact quotes is the one below..

Romantic Quote:“My darling. I’m waiting for you. How long is the day in the dark? Or a week? The fire is gone, and I’m horribly cold. I really should drag myself outside but then there’d be the sun. I’m afraid I waste the light on the paintings, not writing these words. We die. We die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we’ve entered and swum up like rivers. Fears we’ve hidden in - like this wretched cave. I want all this marked on my body. Where the real countries are. Not boundaries drawn on mapswith the names of powerful men. I know you’ll come carry me out to the Palace of Winds. That’s what I’ve wanted: to walk in such a place with you. With friends, on an earth without maps. The lamp has gone out and I’m writing in the darkness.”

4. Life Is Beautiful (La Vita è Bella)


life is beautiful

“An unforgettable fable that proves love, family and imagination conquer all.” goes the tagline of the movie and rightly so! There is so much in the movie; comedy, romance, Drama, war; it’s a treat for the whole family. Life is beautiful is not the usual War movie we might have seen.


Life Is Beautiful is a fable tale of a father who does all he can to win the heart of a girl he loves and later he saves his son from the Germans when they are held in the German Ghetto’s.


Even when the father (Guido) and son (Joshua) were forced and taken away to a Ghetto, mother Dora also follows them there and she was asked to come to Ghetto. Guido plays music, talks in microphone with her wife, when he is not able to meet her in the German Ghetto. Wow.. perfect couple.


Life Is Beautiful is one of the best foreign films I have seen. I Have never seen a movie which is based on the World War 2 backdrop and is a comedy. Even thought the ending is sad, the film shows in lighter spirit. Never matter the language , this movie was really good and I might watch this over and over again, of it was not dubbed in English.


The kid, Joshua as he was named is cute little boy and his role was perfect and did a reasonably good job as well. His mother Dora or princess (Nicoletta Braschi) as his husband Guido Orefice (Roberto Benigni) calls is also cute. Both the Kid and her mother is adorable and loving. Perfect movie to watch with your Girlfriend/Boyfriend! I can go on forever describing the creativity of this movie, but I will not be able to capture all its beauty in writing. This is one of those movies that have a lasting effect on you.


Most Romantic Moment:Even when the father (Guido) and son (Joshua) were forced and taken away to a Ghetto, mother Dora also follws them there and she was asked to come to Ghetto. Guido plays music, talks in microphone with her wife, when he is not able to meet her in the German Ghetto.

Romantic Quote: “I want to make love to you - not just once, but over and over again! But I’ll never tell you that. I’d have to be crazy to tell you. I’d even make love to you now… right here for the rest of my life. “

3. It’s a Wonderful Life


it's a wonderful life

It’s a Wonderful Life is a movie for any season and occasion. It’s a “Christmas” movie, Drama, Family and Romance of course. This is the kind of movie that I would like to watch with my Girl friend or my wife, the way Donna Reed helps James Stewart in times of need is really touching and heart warming.


It’s about the sequence of events that unfold before the Christmas eve for a man who is frustrated and wonders why he is alive and even attempts suicide. An angel helps him to overcome the stress by showing what life would had been like if he never existed and emphasising the fact that life is to live and in a beautiful way.


It’s a wonderful life is the ultimate feel good movie. The whole sequence of events till the end may be be disturbing, but in the end I did shed “Happy” tears. I was “weeping” for the last 5 minutes of movie


Most Romantic Moment:When George Bailey is helped by his wife Mary in the end. Depicts true love that she had for him.

Romantic Quote:“George Bailey: What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That’s a pretty good idea. I’ll give you the moon, Mary.

Mary: I’ll take it. Then what?

George Bailey: Well, then you can swallow it, and it’ll all dissolve, see… and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair… am I talking too much? “


It’s a Wonderful Life — It’s a Wonderful Movie!

2. The Notebook



At first thought and seeing the title of the movie, I never thought I would like The Notebook very much. It’s one of the best Romance movie to watch.


There are many romantic moments in the movie, one needs to watch to enjoy. The dialogues and quotes are really heartwarming. Both Noah and Allie are cute and make a wonderful pair.


The movie opens with an old man reading a tale from his notebook to an old women in a nursing home… It’s the usual triangle love story. Two guy for one girl. The Notebook stands tall among the ruins of the usual triangle romance movie that we are subjected to.


The Notebook is a sweet and emotional love story. I must admit that I did cry at the ending. Don’t miss this movie. It’s a must watch, buy the DVD and enjoy the movie with your GF/BF/spouse. It’s heart warming and leave a lump in your throat.


Most Romantic Moment:Noah and Allie meet each other after one year, they go around the lake in a boat.. see swans, it rains at that point of time.. it was this moment when Noah tells Allie “it wasn’t over,” (their love) then pulls her to him and says “It’s still not over,” and they kiss.

Romantic Quote: “The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I’ll be seeing you.”

1. Titanic


titanic

Top movie in the history of US with Box Office collections running over 6mn$, “My heart will go on” song performed by Celine Dion topped the radio charts, most grossing movie in the opening weekend, 11 Oscars - no film has ever surpassed that, the records that Titanic set, speak for itself.


Many people have divided opinions on this movie, some say it’s the best movie, some say it’s the worst movie. But what we can dispute is that this is really good movie to watch with your Girlfriend/Boyfriend/spouse. It’s a sort of movie where we enjoy more with a company of another soul whom you love. Titanic is the Ultimate romance movie of all times. It’s my best movie of all times and still continues to rule after me watching many other good movies, but nothing comes close to Titanic.


It’s the usual Rich girl-meet-poor boy-fall-in-love movie shown with a difference and extravaganza. We all know the fate of the ill lucked ship Titanic. This movie attempts to showcase a Fictional romantic tale of two lovers on board and how far they go to express love.


It has the famous song which was a chartbuster for many weeks. My heart will go on is a wonderful piece of music and one of my favourite romantic numbers. I have listed it in also. James Cameron had no choice but to fit it in the end credits. James Horner does a good job with the recordings and the background score, which really is emotional and sets the pace.


Titanic does a super job of recreating the historical details accurately and then weaving them seamlessly around the fictional romance. There are many powerful scenes, but my favourite is when the Irish mother makes her kids sleep and say:” They lived happily ever after..”, I break down at this moment whenever I watch the movie. My favourite romantic moment follows after the romantic quote. Titanic is a masterpiece, near flawless movie and historically accurate as well.


Titanic has top notch acting by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet (I liked both the actors after watching the movie), good direction by James Cameron (one of my best directors), sets are lavish and extravagant, good background score, crisp screenplay.. all the essential ingredient to make it a success and it was a blockbuster. You can’t ask for a better excuse to buy the DVD.


Most Romantic Moment:The famous railing scene where Rose and Jack hold to each with their arms stretched out, singing “Come, Josephine, my flying machine” and they kiss.

Romantic Quote: “Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me… it brought me to you. And I’m thankful for that, Rose. I’m thankful. You must do me this honor, Rose. Promise me you’ll survive. That you won’t give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.”


Titanic - The ultimate love story ever made
