Crafting Double Meaning Snacks: Holidays And More Scrapbook Occasions

The double entendres of the world are made for holidays like Valentine's Day; this is one holiday which combines mystery, romance and leaves room for a bit of naughty cheekiness. What may come as a surprise to some is that the tame scope of double meaning rhymes and limericks are not exactly rare or non-existent. And, these too, can move to center stage and occupy the spaces where no controversy is needed: spaces where children can participate in gift giving to parents, to teachers and observe the relatively harmless exchanges between adults in their lives. Some of those tension free gifts can include edible treats providing the second half of the dual meaning which is ascribed to these Valentines gifts.

And, thankfully, none of these exchanges will require complex, nervous and awkward explanations to curious children who find themselves already somewhat understanding the underlying essence of words on TV and words exchanged between adults in front of them.

Choosing to combine objects with secondary meaning and phrases allows all of this drama to be escaped while again attracting the positive qualities. These are the responsiveness and interest which can make this option very rewarding between romantic partners themselves. Three responses you may find yourself faced with are amusement, unusual curiosity and welcome gratitude. All in all, people likely to be pleased with something new and different. So, whether you opt to make edible crafts or another holiday gift decision, that fact may be something to keep in mind for the best surprise possible.

Edible Treats With Double Meaning

These edible treats are based on love phrases and can be the perfect opportunity to combine cute, quirky and sentiment. One example of this unique combination is the simple but effective method of combining a crafted apple or a real one with the phrase "you are the apple of my eye." A second example of this combination comes with the phrase "head over heels for you."

A simple way to apply this concept to an edible treat is to use the more difficult to replicate part of the phrase, the high heels, in a photograph with the use of pastry chef techniques to achieve the heel picture. In addition, the crafter can apply a three-dimensional hand crafted head, reminiscent of a small Mr. potato head, and place it above the heels while adding in the phrase below or leaving the meaning open to interpretation from the symbols alone.

Other phrases to consider using with this option include the following:
1. I'm bananas for you.
2. You're one smart cookie.
3. You're the one.

By including a three-dimensional version of the noun in the above phrases and combining this with a love note which makes the figurative literal, you might experience the effect of both nurturing and surprising your special someone with unexpected cuteness.

Brain Memory - What Affects It And How You Can Improve It

It is said that the brain is the most complex machine on earth. It is that machine in the human body that is responsible for our every movement, our personality and how best we remember past events. Without the brain's capability to hold the memory of things we have done before, what we intend to do and or even who we all are, then there would be no you and me. As much as we would like to keep our brain memory intact, sometimes we forget stuff and wonder how that happens.

Yes, it is quite okay to forget some basic information that is not relevant to us at that particular moment. For example, it is not a life threatening case when you forget the name of your neighbor who just moved in when you do not cross paths that often. It is not also serious when your brain erases the memory of movies you watched when you were a kid.

But it is quite serious when we forget important stuff like our name, where we live, our relatives and basically what we have been doing for the past one hour. So what affects our brain memory? The brain memory can be affected by a number of things including diseases, accidents and also the kind of lifestyle who choose to live.

When the brain memory is lost as a result of illness such as Alzheimer's disease and or Parkinson disease, then there is little we can do. This is because these diseases have some kind of damage to our brain cells thus leading to long term or permanent memory loss. Head injuries on the other hand can be classified as serious or not. There are head injuries that lead to major damage of the brain thus causing a permanent brain memory loss. The less serious accidents while only cause temporary brain memory loss which the patient can recover as they get better.

When we choose to live the kind of lifestyle that requires heavy drinking as a daily routine, then we are not only damaging our other important body cells but also the brain. Previous researches show that heavy drinkers suffer from memory loss than those who drink occasionally.

So how do we improve our brain memory? There is no trick when it comes to this. All we need to do is to follow a few basic rules and guidelines that will help keep our memory in check. The first thing to do is to never skip on sleep or exercise. The simple exercise we do such as walking or joking helps to increase the oxygen supply in our brain and as a result reduce the chances of getting any disorders that eventually lead to memory loss. Sleep on the other hand ensures that your brain performs at its full capacity.
