How to Plan a Same Sex Wedding
When planning a same sex wedding, it's inevitable that your big day is going to veer away from the traditional wedding style in many ways. Traditional wedding ceremonies have a religious structure, and in many churches, gay couples are not accepted. Of course, in today’s society, we know that newlyweds are not always strictly man and woman. We have an understanding that marriage equality should allow all couples to marry regardless of gender, because love is love. Regardless of whether you hold a traditional wedding or not, having your family and friends present is what will legitimize your marriage and make your big day special. Therefore, when you plan a same sex wedding, it may be unique, but it will definitely be special, regardless of tradition.

In fact, the secret in juggling is not necessarily in the ball, but in your skills. It is all about alternating feet, using high knees as well as your dominant foot to kick the ball high in the air, and finding ways to control the ball in the air so it doesn’t hit the ground. To do all this, you’ll need the perfect soccer ball for juggling that keeps its air retention, holds its shape, and lasts a long time as you move up the field towards the goal.

Most of the time, over-the-top eye makeup looks garner a lot more bad attention than they do good. Whether men are painfully aware of the amount of makeup you put on, or your girlfriends are looking at you with wide eyes and a practiced, forced smile, you don't want to be wondering if you should have gone for a nude look while you're being handed your fifth vodka cranberry. Then the next day when you have to go to work (or class), those glitter eyeshadows that actually stay put seem a little frivolous, don't they? Going with natural eyeshadow palettes is a safer bet in most instances, and less is almost definitely more when it comes to a natural look. With so many options, though, how do you choose which one will look best?

When a military family member returns home from a deployment cycle, it is understandable for everyone to be both anxious and excited. However, what family members may not realize is that when service members reintegrate into society after deployment, the soldier may be dealing with a lot more negative emotions that the family will not understand.

Makeup Primers That'll Give You an All Day LookTop Story - November 2018
Makeup primers are one of the most essential steps in your makeup routine. If you don’t use a foundation primer, your makeup is more likely to look cakey, show imperfections, and wear off easily, because a face primer is what sets your makeup and allows it to have that matte finish that we all strive for. Each primer has different effects that can color correct, reduce fine lines, and give a natural, oil free glow. Sephora is going to be your ultimate stop to find the best correcting primers on the market for that all day look you’re going for.

How Are Police Dogs Trained?
We all know the agony of seeing a perfectly trained police K9 and not being able to pet his smart, cute, fluffy head because he's wearing a harness that says "Do Not Touch." Police dogs are one of the greatest resources we have as part of the law enforcement agencies across the country. While police agencies are able to do plenty with police officers alone, police dogs are trained for search and rescue efforts, to detect drugs with their strong sense of smell, and to protect officers from criminals. These dogs are extremely helpful to our nation’s safety, and they save lives and stop crime on a daily basis. There's a lot of work and attention that goes into training police K9s, from the time they're puppies until the day they retire.
