Push-up bra

Push-up bras maximise cleavage. They hoist the breasts up and push them together; for this reason, they are often worn when a woman wants to show off her assets. They are usually padded to give breasts more volume and join together at the bottom so that the bra cannot be seen when wearing something low-cut. Push-up bras are great for those with smaller breasts who want to give the appearance of them being bigger and are also a favourite among men.

Balconette bra

Balconette bras are a style of demi cup bra, meaning the cups finish low on the breast so that they can be worn with low-cut clothes. They are not as low-cut as a plunge bra, nor as high as the Prima Donna Deauville brief bra, and make a horizontal line across the breasts. They usually feature widely set straps and are underwired.

Full cup bra

The cups on a full cup bra cover the whole breasts. They are popular with women with large cup sizes, offering the most support of all bras thanks to their wide shoulder straps. A good example of this kind of bra is the one found in sets such as the Prima Donna Deauville briefs and bra set.

Plunge bra

Plunge bras are designed so that you can wear low clothing without revealing your bra. Whereas full cup bras such as the Prima Donna Deauville brief bra join high up the breasts, plunge bras join at the very bottom so that they can go unseen under many garments.

T-shirt bra

T-shirt bras feature seamless cups that give a smooth finish under lightweight or tight clothing. They are also lightly padded to prevent any nipple shape showing through.

Multiway bra

Multiway bras feature convertible straps that can be removed and reattached to different hooks around the garment; therefore, you can wear them with clothes under which the straps of a conventional bra would show. You can wear them completely strapless, in a halter-neck formation or crossed over at the back.

If you are going to double glaze your windows then why not triple glaze them? This will be the question on many homeowners’ minds when they start researching new windows, only to find that things have progressed in the industry. Once upon a time double glazing was the pinnacle of good housekeeping, but now there’s another option. Read on for a quick round up of what triple glazing is exactly, and whether it’s actually worth getting.

What is Triple Glazing?

Just as it sounds, triple glazing means your windows are formed of three panes of glass rather than two or one. It works in exactly the same way as double glazing, in that there is an air cavity between the two panes, but in the case of triple glazing there are three panes, resulting in two air cavities.

Is it Worth it?

Whether or not you choose to install triple glazing will depend on a number of factors. Yes, it’s true that triple glazing can dramatically reduce the cost of your energy bills whist creating a warmer feel to your home. Triple glazing is thought to be better at reducing those cold spots in your home that are hard to fix. That being said, if your house is well insulated and otherwise very energy efficient, you may be fine with secondary glazing.

The other thing to note is that unless you get a big enough thickness of glazing and the optimum size air cavity in your triple glazed windows, it may be more energy efficient (and cost effective) to plump for thicker double glazing. The trick is to only appoint an established reputable firm in your area. If you are looking for triple or double glazing in Dublin for example, then an established family firm such as Keane Windows in Dublin will give you an honest idea of what you need.

Are There Alternatives?

Yes there are, and some types of window units can actually be more energy efficient than UPVC triple glazing and can also be more sympathetic to your house design.

Whilst triple glazing has obvious benefits, it’s really worth talking through your options with your window installer who can advise you on the best type of windows for your house or your building project.

Anyone who has seen the film Elf, the story of a human named Buddy who is adopted by an old Elf, knows that being an Elf is not a walk in the park – but what jobs do elves really need to do to qualify for the most prestigious job in the Elf world – working for Santa Claus himself?

Reindeer Keeper – So everyone knows that Santa has a team of reindeer that perform the all-important task of pulling the sleigh on Christmas Eve – but the reindeer must be looked after all year around by a team of elves – and these are not your normal reindeer! The elves in charge of these amazing creatures must feed them their special diet containing magic dust enabling them to fly, and assist Santa in training them to fly – so a fear of heights is not an option!

Gift Maker – Santa delivers gifts to approximately 22 million children per hour on Christmas Eve – so these elves need to be good with their hands and able to keep to deadlines. They must be able to turn their hand to anything, whether electronic gadget, or dolls house – after all, failing to meet deadlines means children going without a gift!

Christmas Cheer – As the saying goes – the best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing aloud for all to hear! But of course there are other ways for elves to spread Christmas cheer – helping Mrs Claus keep the place looking festive is a very important job – Mrs Claus likes to use makower Christmas fabrics from http://www.higgsandhiggs.com/christmas-shop/christmas-fabrics.html to spread festive cheer throughout the North Pole Workshops, and of course baking cookies is a must!

Engineer – Physicists all over the world are still scratching their heads at just how Santa travels the world at such speed in one night – looking after the sleigh is an important job for elves, as Santa’s closely guarded secret to speedy travelling is housed in the sleigh. Looking after the reserves of magic dust, making sure that the sleigh is in the tip top condition that allows it to bend the fabric of space time itself is a very important job for this team of elves.

So if you are an elf and you think you are up to the challenge, Santa needs you! So submit your CV to North Pole HQ – Santa looks forward to hearing from you!
