There are many gorgeous places to visit, which makes choosing one a challenging task. 

If you are planning a honeymoon, take a look at these three magical destinations and what they offer.

1. Blue Lagoon, Iceland

Blue Lagoon is an aqua geothermal spa located on the southwestern side of Iceland. The hot water is supplied by a lava field in Grindavik that comes from Mount Orbjörn. This location is excellent for a couple that needs time to relax, unwind and bond. The water temperature ranges between 37 and 39 degrees Celsius. It is milky blue due to the high silica content. It is also rich in algae and other salts. Part of the fun involves rubbing yourselves with the soft white mud, which is fun. This is therapeutic for your body and mind, resulting in soft skin. Besides, you can float in the lagoon as a masseuse works on your muscles for total relaxation. When you are not at the pool, you can enjoy the comfort of your Blue Lagoon Retreat Hotel room or take a walk to enjoy the best of nature, wine and dine in restaurants around the spa where you enjoy local cuisine. 

2. Bali, Indonesia

Bali is a tropical paradise with greenery, fresh air, and friendly people, giving you the ultimate romantic vacation. This island is in the middle of Indonesia and is an ideal honeymoon location without breaking your bank account. This location is a spiritual hub for the Hindus.

In addition, you get to hike mountains or go white-water rafting. Bali is close to the equator. Therefore, it is warm and humid all year round. In fact, the hottest months are between May and July, when temperatures rarely exceed 28 degrees Celsius. You can also get cheap hotels in the area with three-to five-star service.

3. Tulum, Mexico

Tulum in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is a perfect honeymoon destination for trendy couples.

There are plenty of sites in the town of Little Rock for people to visit and explore. Seeing these sights can really help you to feel the enriched culture that the city and the state itself have to offer. These historical sites could have effects on the prices of Little Rock houses for sale depending on where they are located around the sites.

With some of the more popular historical sites like the Big Dam Bridge, Simmons Bank Arena, and the Arkansas State Capitol, how are you supposed to limit yourself to just a few places? You should try to see as many as you can, but these are must-see spots for you!

The Big Dam Bridge

This bridge spans the Arkansas River and Murray Lock and Dam between Little Rock and North Little Rock and is open only to pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The length of the bridge is 3,463 feet and was constructed in 2006.

Imagine how scary it must be to walk on the bridge that runs over water. That’s all part of the experience. Imagine the beautiful water that surrounds you and the once-in-a-lifetime view that you’ll see!

The name came from Judge F.G. Villines, who believed that the bridge was being built on a dam and was concerned with the financing. His concern was correct, the bridge wasn’t cheap when it was done. The final construction cost was $12.8 million!

The bridge is not only a popular tourist attraction, it’s also used for several racing events. Not only can you see the bridge itself when you’re visiting, but also the events. You can get two sites in one visit.

Simmons Bank Arena

The Simmons Bank Arena is one if not the most popular in the town of Little Rock. The arena seats 18,000 people and has had many uses over its years of existence since its opening in 1999.

Some of the many uses of this arena have ranged from pro basketball tournaments to the filming of American Idol LIVE. Even performances from musical artists like Fleetwood Mac have occurred there over time.

The arena is owned by the Multi-Purpose Civic Center Facilities Board for Pulaski County. The arena was designed by the Civic Center Design Team (CCDT), Burt Taggart & Associates, Architects/Engineers, The Wilcox Group, Garver & Garver Engineering and Rosser International of Atlanta.

Simmons Bank Arena is a sight that you need to see with your own eyes so that you can just sit and admire all the events that could’ve taken place there. If the walls of this place could talk, they would have quite a lot to say.

Arkansas State Capitol

The Arkansas State Capitol was originally built in 1915 and took several years to reach that point in its construction. It was built on the site of the state penitentiary where the prisoners helped in the building’s construction.

Although the building was originally aligned incorrectly, it has served as a filming location for several famous movies and events that portrayed the building as the nation’s capital in Washington D.C.

Seeing this building in all its glory will help you to see the true historical value that it offers as well as the rich culture and people that helped make the Arkansas State Capitol what it is. Come and visit it today and see what I’m talking about!

This year, headbands have been a huge hit, and there are so many different ways to style them. Headbands are the perfect accessory when you just need to add a bit of sparkle to any ensemble. You can incorporate larger padded headbands, knotted bands, and bows into your look if you want to make a statement. You can style this accessory with your hair up or down, by sweeping your bangs back or letting a fringe fly free. Here are some other ways to wear a holiday headband along with some of the most prominent headband styles to try this season!

Look Luxe in Velvet

Velvet padded headbands are the go-to if you want a versatile accessory to wear to work, parties, or casually. They’re wide and thick enough to stand out, but velvet’s soft and subtle texture gives them an elegant, muted look.

To style a velvet headband, you should start by letting your hair down for an elegant look. You can leave your bangs or a few locks free in the front or use the headband to sweep your hair away from your face. To elevate the look, add wavy texture or a few curls. This is an easy way to get yourself ready to take on the day!

Swap a Santa Hat for a Santa-Themed Headband

Find yourself donning the traditional stocking cap around Christmas? It’s a cute way to add some holiday cheer to your look, especially when you’re gathering around the tree with family on Christmas morning. This year, though, you can try mixing it up with a Santa-themed headband. Look for red velvet trimmed in white fur to create the perfect Mrs. Claus look. Bonus points if you get reindeer antlers for the kids (or the pets, if you have them).

This is another easy style to pull off. Try a low ponytail with a few strands left free to capture the casual look, then place the headband over the top of your head for an easy, effortless holiday morning style.

Try Tartan Styles

Among trends that are making a splash this year, tartan is another big one. It’s also a wintertime classic that you can enjoy year after year. There’s just something cozy and comforting about tartan plaids this time of year.

Another great thing about tartan? This is a style that works for both casual wear and for formal nights out. To style a tartan headband casually, wear it with a ponytail. Choose a padded tartan headband or one that features a bow to create a cute and comfortable look. Then, pair it with your favorite flannel shirt in tartan plaid.

For the formal look, you can pair a tartan headband with a pencil skirt. You can even upscale the look with a braided headband or add a little flash by choosing a tartan band that features pearls.

Use Your Headband to Add Texture and Detail

If you’re a fan of sleek dresses and pantsuits for holiday parties or work, then this style is for you. Use a headband featuring texture or fun details to draw attention upwards.

To achieve this look, start with your outfit. Once you’ve selected that, you’ll be able to pair a headband with complementary shades. But, you’ll want to avoid smooth, padded bands and instead go for something big and bold like a knotted band, a big bow, or even a beautiful lace headband.

Style your hair as you normally would, then place the headband like a crown or tiara. Take care to tuck the ends of the headbands behind your ears and beneath your locks. If need be, use a few concealed bobby pins for a no-slide look that will stay in place all day.

For When It's Time to Go Glam

Headbands make it super easy to create a glamorous look for your Christmas card photo, holiday parties, or for a New Year’s Eve event. This look works well with both short and long hair. 

For the headband itself, go big and make a statement! Choose something flashy with sequins or a pearled ornament. If you really want to make a splash, go with a headband that features a bold crystal accent – it’s like jewelry for your hair!

Here at Bellefixe, there are lots of different options to choose from. Try one of the above styles to create an amazing holiday look or be a trendsetter and use one of our headbands to create your own gorgeous style. No matter what, we’ve got the hair accessories you need to get yourself ready for the holiday season!

When a formal event is coming soon on your social calendar, you will want to plan your outfit accordingly. Although it may be a formal event, you will need to choose a suitable outfit that will be appropriate, making you look fabulous but not overdressed for the occasion. You will also need to plan other outfit factors and ensure you achieve the correct balance with your outfit. 

You will also need to put plenty of thought and attention into planning the accessories for your outfit. If you want to wear your hair up, you may want to consider some more oversized earrings, and drop earrings could be an excellent choice. You may also wish to wear a necklace for the occasion, and the length of the necklace will depend on the cut of your dress and how low it goes.

Calgary is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is between June and October. These are the warmer months with more festivals and outdoor activities.

Are you considering traveling between two climates on the same trip? This happens more often than you think. Sometimes folks visit two different countries or even varying elevations in the same destination. Another example is when your home country is warm but the destination where you’re traveling is cold. Below are a few tips on how to prepare for traveling from warm to cold climates.

Layer as Needed

Dress in layers! The more combinations you can make from your clothing, the better. Wearing layers of clothing is the best and only way a traveler can effectively pack for both warm and cold weather, dry and damp conditions. It’s that simple - the layers trap heat against the body – keeping you warm – and the outer layers can be removed as the heat builds up and you need to cool down.

Pack the Warmest Climate First

Begin packing with the warmer climate and determine what you’ll wear there. This may include shorts, light t-shirts, etc. These items then become one layer of your clothing strategy. Make sure each piece of clothing is thin enough to add extra warmth when paired with other pieces. With your warm-weather pile finished, address the colder climate. A light fleece adds warmth but it’s no match against wind or rain. Consider a light fleece layered over your warm-weather tank top and under a light rain-proof jacket that not only looks good, but is warm and comfy in the wind and rain.

Check Extended Weather

Check the extended forecast in advance up until you leave and plan. How many days will you be in warm weather vs cold weather? If you have a 10 day trip and will be spending 8 days in the cold and 2 days in warm weather, obviously plan for a majority of your belongings to be for cold gear vs a small amount for warm weather.
