Pop Up Wedding Paper Placemat for Your Table

I love these creative pop up paper placemats from Wedding Things. Made of 100% recycled paper, the disposable placemats feature pop-up graphics that will definitely get smiles from your guests.

They also double as place cards—each graphic has a space for you to write your guest's name. This birdcage design is witty and fun, and the new reindeer, fireplace and banquet table graphics would be perfect for a holiday wedding.

Cutting Edges with The Edger Brownie Pan and Working it off with Kettlebells!


You can cut edges with the one product... but the second one below.... whew! You can't. You gotta work ... no edge cutting! First my favorite thing..... brownies.... Girl's gotta eat! How cool is this! Plus this makes a great bridal shower gift! So make sure you put it on your list!

The Edge Brownie Pan For corner brownie fans and chewy edge lovers, it's a dream come true -- a gourmet brownie pan that adds two chewy edges to every serving! It's the Edge Brownie Pan from Baker's Edge, and it's the first (and only) brownie pan specifically designed for chewy edge lovers. The pan's patented sidewalls also improve baking performance by circulating heat evenly to the pan's middle, where food typically takes longer to bake. The size is just right -- 9" x 12" x 2", so it's a perfect fit for box mixes and most recipes for 9" x 9" and 9" x 13" conventional pans. Widely acclaimed for its innovation and quality since its launch in 2006, the Edge Brownie Pan has received rave reviews by more than 200 magazines, newspapers, and blogs. Units are individually boxed and come complete with a gourmet recipes insert and a custom nylon spatula.

So after you eat all the edges then what? I'll tell you what -the guilt comes in ... which brings us to Kettlebells I first heard about these the other night on the Donnie Deustche show 'The
Big Idea" and am quite intriqued. I may go this way after Christmas to get rid of the packed on pounds as opposed to joining another gym. My only concern will be if I let go and the bell goes flying into the tv or wall : ) But I have to say, these look pretty cool. Previously, I only thought Russian athletes used these things... so much for stereotyping... they are evidently popular!

Kettlebells The Iron Core Way Volume 1 (Complete Guide to Kettlebell Training with Follow Along Workout) Body And Soul Magazine, May 2006

These DVD's provide a thorough kettlebell initiation, with a combination of attention to detail and heart pumping, sweat inducing exercise. Kettlebell Training Basics: Kettlebells are a weighted cannon ball with a handle that delivers an all in one strength and cardio workout. Kettlebells work the entire body with each movement. Exercise converts use them as the latest fitness tool to achieve the core, functional strength and fat burning that has eluded them in other workout programs. A typical 1- hour kettlebell workout can
burn up to 1,200 calories. Volume 1 teaches foundation kettlebell exercises like the swing, clean, press and front squat. Volume 1 also has a 45 minute heart pounding, fat burning follow along workout circuit. Volume 2 builds on the foundation exercises taught in Volume 1. Instruction on the more advanced kettlebell lifts , like the snatch, and a 45 minute sweat- inducing workout guarantee you will lose fat and inches forever!


First Place Kettlebells (Sold As Singles)

  • Helps develop total body strength, power, and endurance
  • Kettlebells work the body across a wide range of angles
  • Increases your dynamic flexibility

Kettlebells, the hot new dynamic training tool that deliver an intense workout that can be done in half the time of a traditional workout, while producing twice the results. GoFit Kettlebells feature a class defining
oversized, powder coated handle that makes them more user friendly, less slippery, and easier to transition from hand to hand. They color coded for easy weight designation and floor friendly with premium vinyl dipping.

And now, for a preview of how they work.... I am so psyched about these things!

Start a New Tradition With Your Bridal Shoes!


Start a New Tradition!

The Scuff-Off Tradition

For something blue, get a pair of blue shoes and have your single bridesmaids sign the bottom of the sole. After a night of dancing and prancing, tradition states that the person whose signature has faded the most will be the next to marry!

Above shoes are from Apple Blossom Bridal Shoes -- The designer stated "I wanted to take the classic ballet slipper and give it a little more structure and style. I think the result is something that's obviously great to wear at your reception, but could certainly be worn the entire day if you prefer. - Shelley George Comfortable, slip-on ballet style has a flat, non-skid tan leather sole and is available with or without the bow. Handmade with shiny satin in your choice of white or ivory dyeable fabric. Available in whole and half sizes 5-11. Comes in in a standard "medium" width that runs true-to-size, so order the size you are accustomed to wearing every day.

Beautiful Under Gear ... what's under the dress is as important as the dress!

Who could say it best but Wikipedia? Before recent times, women's underwear were made with the primary function of body contortion. In the 940s, Frederick's of Hollywood opened shop in Hollywood and began selling corsets and lingerie with a much more fashionable appeal to them. These new styles of women's undergarments possessed a greater sexual feel, made even more glamorized by models such as Bettie Page.

Colorful, bright, sexy, and flashier fashions of women's lingerie were becoming available. More fabrics such as satin, lace and silk began to be incorporated into the makeup of women's lingerie, making them more desired by females and more sensual to males. This is perhaps the great turning point when panties became more than simple hygiene products and developed into
an icon of pleasure and sexuality worldwide.

Since then, women in flattering and provocative panties and lingerie have become a staple of several functions of men's and lesbian's popular culture. Several men's magazines such as Maxim and FHM often use images of attractive females in sensual lingerie to capture mainstream appeal.

Without further adieu .... you can get some really sexy bloomers, panties, undergarments.... whatever you want to call them, here at Get Go Retro! We have the ruffles, bows, sequins and more!
