More Info On Hand Pink:

The Fifties is an easy party to throw together with some rock and roll music and a group of guests who are willing to relive the good old days! Do you remember how crafty projects were all the rage? Well, set up your own craft project with the guest by making some fun magnets for your refrigerators.

Refrigerator Magnets

To make your own refrigerator magnets you'll need the following: 9 plastic bottle caps, 2 googly eye buttons or black permanent marker to draw eyes, glue, yellow felt, and small round magnets.

Start making your own Fifties craft magnet by applying glue to the tops of your bottle caps and pressing them onto the felt. Let dry then cut out the bottle caps with their felt circles on top. If you wish you can cut small strips of felt for the sides of the bottle caps and glue those on to completely cover the bottle caps in yellow felt. However, covering the tops is good enough. Next, take your two googly eyes and glue each onto two of the felt covered bottle caps. Let dry. These will serve as the eyes.

Finally, you'll glue the magnets to the insides of each of the nine bottle caps. Let these dry very well. Once they are dry you have the makings of your very own fifties style smiley face magnets!

There are many other kinds of objects and shapes you can make with homemade bottle cap magnets. Try your hand at a pink poodle magnet set with pink felt covered bottle caps. Or you can create a flower out of bottle cap magnets.

No matter what you attempt to make at your party, be sure you have enough supplies for all of the guests to make their own magnet sets at your Fifties Party!

Pink Eye

Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is redness and inflammation of the membranes (conjuctiva) covering
the whites of the eyes and the membranes on the inner part of the eyelids. These membranes
react to a wide range of bacteria, viruses, allergy-provoking agents, irritants, and toxic
agents, as well as to underlying diseases within the body. Viral and bacterial forms of
conjunctivitis are common in childhood, but they can occur in people of any age. Overall
however, there are many causes of pink eye. These can be classified as either infectious or
noninfectious.

Viral pink eye:

The leading cause of a red, inflamed eye is virus infection. A number of different viruses can
be responsible for the infection. Viral pink eye symptoms are usually associated with more of
a watery discharge that is not green or yellow in color. Often, viral "cold-like" symptoms, such
as sinus congestion and runny nose, are also present. The eyelids may be swollen. Sometimes
looking at bright lights is painful. While viral pink eye may not require an antibiotic, those
affected should see a doctor, as occasionally this form of pink eye can be associated with
infection of the cornea (the clear portion of the front of the eyeball). This infection must
be correctly detected and treated. Viral pink eye is highly contagious. Viral pink eye usually
resolves in seven to 10 days after symptoms appear.

Bacterial pink eye:

The bacteria that most commonly cause infectious pink eye are staphylococci, pneumococci, and
streptococci. Bacterial pink eye symptoms include:
1.eye pain
2.swelling
3.redness
4.a moderate to large amount of discharge, usually yellow or greenish in color.

  The discharge commonly accumulates after sleeping. Affected children may awaken most unhappy that their "eyes are stuck shut," requiring a warm washcloth applied to the eyes to remove the discharge. Bacterial pink eye is treated by repeated warm washcloths applied to the eyes (try applying these to your child's eye one eye at a time during a favorite video) and requires antibiotic eyedrops or ointment prescribed by the doctor.

  Be careful not to use medication prescribed for someone else, or from an old infection, as these may be inappropriate for your current infection or may have been contaminated from other infections by accidentally touching the medicine bottle to infected areas. A safe, effective, and "less scary for
your child" method of putting drops into the eyes involves asking your child to lie down flat, with
instructions to merely "close your eyes," and placing the recommended number of drops in the inner corner of the eye, next to the bridge of the nose, and letting them make a little "lake" there. When your child relaxes and opens the eyes, the medicine will flow gently into the infected mucous membranes without the need to "force open" the eyes.

  When you feel that you or your child might have bacterial pink eye, it is very important to see your
doctor immediately for several reasons. First, if the cause is a bacterial infection, an antibiotic
will be needed to help the infection-fighting immune system to kill this infection. Secondly, if you
are experiencing other symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, earache, etc., there is a good chance that these symptoms are caused by the same bacteria, and an oral antibiotic may very well be needed to treat this infection along with the antibiotic drops or ointment for the eyes. Finally, your
doctor will want to exclude the possibility that the infection has spread to areas where the symptoms may not yet be recognizable.

Treatment:

Pink eye treatment options vary, often depending on whether your conjunctivitis is caused by a virus
or bacteria. Antibiotic eye ointments or drops may help bacterial forms of conjunctivitis, but don't
work for viral forms.

 If you have allergic conjunctivitis, artificial tears may help dilute irritating allergens that may
be present in your tear film. Antihistamine allergy pills or eyedrops also may help control symptoms.

  For all types of conjunctivitis, warm compresses placed on the outside of the eyelids and lubricating eyedrops may help eyes feel better.

  Antibiotic treatment for conjunctivitis in newborn infants may be given by injection, by mouth, by eye drops or by ointment, depending on which germ your doctor suspects is causing the infection. When oral antibiotics are prescribed, they should be continued for the full course (often 14 days), even if the eyes appear better after only a few days.
If drops or ointments are to be used, first wipe any mucus or pus off the lids with a tissue or cotton ball dipped in warm water. Then gently pull the eyelids apart, place one drop (or a 1/4 inch ribbon of ointment) into the small pouch that this forms and hold the eye closed for a few seconds. Avoid touching the dropper or tube to the eye. Treat both eyes even if only one side looks infected.
Since tears quickly wash out the eyes, drops should be given with feedings around the clock. Ointment need be given only three times a day. Treatment should be continued for five to seven days. Regular diet and family activities with the baby can continue during this illness.

Prevention:

  Both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis, which can be caused by airborne sources, spread easily to
others. So your first line of defense is to avoid the cause of conjunctivitis, such as contaminated
hand towels.

  Never share washcloths, towels or pillowcases with anyone at home or in a public environment. Don't share eyedrops or cosmetics such as eyeliner, eye shadow or mascara. If you have pink eye, replace these items to avoid re-infection after your recovery.

  Swim goggles are good protection against organisms that can cause pink eye.
  Keep windows and doors closed on days when the airborne pollen count is high.Dust and vacuum frequently to eliminate allergens in the home. Stay in well ventilated areas if you're exposed to smoke, chemicals or fumes. If you are a swimmer, try protective swim goggles. Exposure to chlorinated water in pools can be a source of noninfectious pink eye, such as allergic conjunctivitis caused by irritation.

  Always follow the strict cleaning and handling instructions taught by your eye care practitioner to avoid bacterial contamination of the contact lens, which could then spread to the eye.
If you do have pink eye, do not wear your contact lenses until the condition has been resolved. Otherwise, you run the risk of extending or worsening symptoms. Even if your contact lenses are extended wear and it isn't time for disposal, you still may need to replace them, because they could be contaminated. Replace any contact lens solutions in which contaminated contact lenses may have been placed. When you take a bath or enter a hot tub or any other body of water, be sure to remove contact lenses first to avoid trapping bacteria between your eye and the lens.
If other explanations have been ruled out, ask your eye doctor about the possibility that you could be having an allergic reaction to your particular contact lens solution or preservatives within that solution. Soft contact lens wearers are more susceptible to a form of pink eye known as giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC), caused by abnormal immune responses. If you have GPC, ask your eyecare practitioner about other options, such as wearing a different kind of lens.

Knowledge and Persistence leads to success
I have always been fascinated by the question ,why some people can and others can't? I spent years trying to figure This Out. At first it was mainly for myself. I remember growing up with little confidence and under the impression that others were more capable than I was. The fact was that this impression was true. It was true because i believed it.

why is my feet cold and my bottom of hand little pink?

my doctor couple of weeks ago said nothing wrong just growing pains?
i never smoke

Do u smoke? Ive always heard that its bad circulation. My boyfriend and I both smoke. His feet stay cold and my hands stay cold.
