Pregnancy stretch marks

Stretch marks are a nightmare for many women and cream manufacturers interested in expanding their market seek to address this issue. Unfortunately the truth is that while those creams can help us with reducing stretch marks or making them less visible, they cannot guarantee us that the marks won’t appear again.Getting stretch marks depends from our type of skin, which means that some women can have no stretch marks, even if they did not use any special creams during their pregnancy; some women can have plenty of stretch marks even if they were looking after their body carefully and in addition used a few of supplements to avoid having stretch marks. Although it is not always possible to avoid stretch marks, we can still reduce their visibility.


Start moisturizing your skin before pregnancy

Well-hydrated skin is more resistant, flexible and will get fewer stretch marks. Those which will appear will not be very visiblle so you won’t be that concerned about them.


Right diet

Right diet is also very important for your skin.

How to get a mortgage?


Mortgage tips

Good credit rating
A very important thing which counts a lot when we are applying for a mortgage is a credit rating. Sometimes you might fail a credit chaeck simply because you have no credit history, not because you have a bad credit history. Lenders want to see that you will pay back money you borrow and if you have no such history in the past, they have no way of knowing. To get started with building a good credit history, the easiest way is to get a credit card. Once you will have a credit card you should use it from time to time. Just make sure you pay it back on time every month or else your credit history will backfire on you.

Paying your bills on time
Even if you are not planning to get any mortgage now and think that not paying a bill on time and paying it later won’t hurt you, you are wrong.This is how people get a bad credit rating.


Register at electoral register
Lenders are very often checking if you are on the electoral register so even if you are not interested in voting it would be a good idea for you to register.

Changes to husband and wife's roles

Men need to feel that they are the head of the family and care for their wife and children. Currently we are changing the traditional family model for a modern one which is not good for anybody.
Many women are putting their jobs before their family as they feel that they should be breadwinners also. Many women do not want to have children at all as they value more their freedom, social life and independence or even if they wish to be mothers, they know that they are unable to reconcile a full-time job with having a baby. 

Putting a job before a baby does not really mean that women are choosing their career. It means that they are conscious of their choices. They know that work will be an important part of their life and they understand that they have to concentrate on a job first in order to be satisfied and not do a bottom job later on. 

Single mothers
Women do not need a man anymore to have a baby. It is very popular among British women to have a one night-stand to get a baby or to have artificial insemination.
There are also plenty of women who do not want to have children at all as they are very independent and having a baby could make them being unable to fend for themselves, getting fat and loosing a good job position.
Many decent men are running away from a relationship with a bossy woman as they feel ignored and excluded from that relationship. They do not feel needed anymore and feel abandoned due to the lack of any decision-making and fulfillment in their life.

Asian woman’s world

Asian woman's eligibilities
There are plenty of stories of how Asian women should be and what their responsibilities are. Most Asian women are Muslim which means that there are many rules which they need to comply with. Some people are saying how good their tradition is as it lets a woman stay at home and a man is the only one who should take care of her and the children. It is slightly different for those women in the UK as they have more eligibilities than in their own mother country. I saw myself quite a few Pakistani or Indian women at work, some of them were dressed in their traditional clothes, some like any other British person.

Strict family
If an Asian woman has a strict family and a husband, then they are told what to do, what not to do and they have to follow those strict rules.
Asian men’s role is not only to provide a family, a wife with everything. They have big powers as they are the ones who are dictating women how to dress, what to do, what not to do, whereas their wives are not independent at all and their quality of life depends on their husband's will. They can be treated like queens but also like slaves who should do everything that the husband will say and they can be also killed if a man will decide that he wants his wife to been tortured or dead.

Family's camping

Camping is not any more for people who do not have enough money to go into a proper hotel, although it can help you to spend less. Modern camping is recognized as a new experience and a freedom for children. Most camping fields are situated close to mountains, so you will have less to walk to a chosen top. It is hassle free also as you can drive to a camping field and leave a car there, while you will go to climb mountains.

Advantages of camping
While camping, you can take your pets with you and you do not need to worry that it will be banned. It is really a priceless experience to spend time in the fresh air for a whole day. It is quite cheap to pay for a camping field.

What should you check for before going camping?
Make sure that there will be toilets and kitchen appliances available. Most camping fields should have this equipment but all of them are run by different individuals usually so it is recommended to check these things before going there. The weather should be nice unless you are happy with cold weather and rain. Most people are coming back very satisfied from camping if they had a nice weather and dissatisfied if it was cold as there are no facilities really for camping when cold.

Costs
It is quite expensive to buy camping equipment but you will certainly get your money back if you are going to use tents, sleeping bags and mats more than one time. If you are planning to camp only once, maybe a better idea would be to borrow the equipment from somebody.
It is much cheaper than a hotel, where a night spend in a hotel would not be cheaper than £120 for a family with two children.
Price for camping for family of 4 may cost £10 per night up to £60, depending on where you will be camping, how old are children and if the camping field owner will provide with any discount for children.

Safety
The majority of camping fields are safe, although anybody can easily enter a field at any time and cause problems. If you feel unsure about children sleeping in a separate tent, get a bigger tent for the whole family.

Women’s shopping habits

Why do women still prefer a physical store instead of online shopping?

Although times have changed, women still favor visiting stores instead of hunting for goods online. There are advantages to it but also disadvantages.
Women love shopping and we all know about that. However there is one thing about which they are not really convinced – online shopping. They prefer to spend hours in the shop choosing properly their products. Their way of shopping has a connection with the past – a long time ago they were picking forest fruits and small branches to make fires. They were spending a long time deciding which fruits to pick while men had to make quick decisions while hunting.

Marriage roles

Traditional classification of roles in a family obliged a man to provide his wife and children with things necessary to live and be responsible for their safety, whereas the woman had to take care of the house, children and her husband’s comfort. The situation had changed since women started working professionally. The distinction of roles stopped being obvious and predefined. Married people have a choice now of making decisions together how they want their relationship to function independently from any outside influences and social expectations on their roles, however it is like that only in more modern countries. 
 
How psychology define a role terminology?
Social role as a social category is a collection of expectations from surroundings (a family, social groups, an institution). This role determines one’s social status and its place in a social group. Every role has set of entitlements but also responsibilities, which we need to make our priorities.
Every human already has a scheduled role which means that the roles can be sometimes contradictory to people’s wishes and life expectations.
