Impress your guests with a bauble bowl

Like most families, we’re bauble crazy in our house, adding new ones to an already burgeoning collection each year. But the problem with hoarding so many trinkets is that you inevitably run out of space to display them on your tree.

So, what to do with the excess? You make a virtue of it, that’s what, by creating this season’s must-have table decoration: the stunningly sumptuous Christmas bauble bowl.

As a professional tablescaper, I love this simple way of creating a statement display that is dramatic enough to take centre stage on your festive dining table. These merry-looking bowls can also be turned into cheering points of interest throughout the house, placed on coffee and hallway tables, as well on window sills and shelves.

To make a bauble bowl, simply stack a dish with decorative globes — though follow a few golden rules.

The first is that you should stick with traditional round baubles (although some finial ornaments with tapered ends mixed in can look lovely placed in shallow dishes).

So, what to do with the excess baubles? You make a virtue of it, that’s what, by creating this season’s must-have table decoration: the stunningly sumptuous Christmas bauble bowl

I’m afraid those novelty shapes that are proving so popular this year — Liberty’s bestseller is a handbag with a marmalade sandwich, a reference to Elizabeth II’s Paddington skit — won’t work for this bowl. It’ll just look like you’ve plonked a load of knick-knacks into a dish as a jumbled-up afterthought.

The next is that the bowl you use to display them in is transparent. After all, think how enticing a fruit trifle looks when you place it on the table and your guests marvel at the sight of each delicious layer stacked through a glass dish.

In the same way, create a festive feast for the eyes by using a glass bowl to show off each tier of your baubles, from every angle. A china bowl, however lovely, will simply mean the bulk of your baubles, and your efforts, will go unnoticed.

In fact, this is the perfect opportunity to pull granny’s cut-glass trifle dish out from the back of the cupboard — especially if it’s got feet, or a built-in pedestal, which will provide height, helping your bauble bowl stand out amid all the food on your dining table. Bevelled and cut glass adds to a lavish sense of occasion.

It’s also a good idea to stick to one colour palette, unless a chaotic mix of brightly clashing shades appeals to you. Having a colour scheme will make your bowl look more thought-out, and you can match the tones to the colour scheme of the room in which it will be placed.

Mixing up colour, sizes and textures is important. Feathers, glitter and shining thread-covered baubles, arranged with smooth and plain balls, create balance and allow the more interesting decorations to stand out.

Aim to keep the ratios of the different sizes fairly similar, and distribute them evenly throughout the bowl. Other than that, anything goes! I especially like to scatter extra statement baubles around my bowls, so it appears that they’ve been so generously filled, the contents have spilled out onto the table.

Here are a few techniques to try…

THE TRIFLE
If you’ve got a hotch-potch of jewel-like baubles, make a virtue of those clashing colours and aim to create layers. Using a trifle dish, place larger globes on the bottom, sticking with one darker shade. The higher you go up the bowl, the more you can mix up the colours and sizes, to emulate the way trifle layers start bleeding into each other. You can even throw in some Quality Street chocolates.

VASE OF DELIGHTS
Large, wide and globe-like vases are my favourite vessels for bauble bowls. But you can also use standard tall vases, Scam Supplements filling them first with a layer of moss, then adding everlasting flowers and stems, such as pussy willow and dried hydrangeas, before packing out the rest of the vase with small, shiny baubles of green, red and gold. This also works well with peacock feathers.

OH SO SHALLOW
Opaque, shallow dishes provide an attractive backdrop for different shaped trinkets, such as finial styles. Add baubles appropriate to the size of the dish. Chocolate coins will make a sweet finishing touch, as well as making your bauble bowl doubly attractive to guests!

What Encourages Proactol Scam?

Health and fitness enthusiasts often go for health supplements and products that would help them in getting the best results to develop a lean and trim body. One of the latest heath elixirs that claim to support transition in the physical status of the user is Noni Juice.

Attractive Publicity

Providers of Noni Juice have taken substantial pains to make huge publicity of the product and some of the ads are quite attractive. Obviously, this is one of the ploys of the providers to neutralize the negative impact of the steep price of the product.

Claim of the Providers

Providers claim and write on the label about the benefits of using Noni Juice. Arguments in support of the providers are that –

Polynesians have used the product for centuries;

It can help mind healing, and improving the status of body and spirit; and

Have several other health benefits like fat burning and weight loss.

Disagreement of FDA

While the providers of Noni Juice claim that it has got various health benefits and in support advance some statements by the doctors in this regard, it is quite clear that the statement and contentions are not approved by FDA. Therefore, the claims cannot be accepted on their face values despite all the publicity hikes by the providers.

Facts and Myths

Websites that are promoting the product claim that it can cure everything that includes cold as well as cancer. Despite FDA not approving the claims the Federal Trade Commission has not shut down the product and its marketing. Yet many things that are told about the product are myths rather than truth.

Marking of Bad Medicines

Some of the markings of bad medicines in the product are –

Outrageous claims regarding health benefits for the users;

Lack of supporting evidences upholding the claims; and

Highly questionable marketing strategies.

A Look at the Origins

It would be good having a look at the origin of Noni Juice.

Noni grows in warm climates and is found in abundance in South Pacific and South East Asia;

When ripe, the fruit gives out a pungent smell and taste is such that it is well known as the vomit fruit or the rotten cheese fruit;

People normally do not consume this fruit unless some exigency like a famine occurs; and

The product is used in traditional medicines in South Pacific areas.

Noni-Juice Contents

Noni juice that is sold in United States often contains a dash of noni cut combined with water. It is believed by some users that the juice of Noni can cure arthritis, cancer, reduce bad cholesterol, and could be beneficial for diabetes, obesity, impotence, and digestive problems. But none of these claims have so far been established through clinical experiments.

One will find Non-Juice as Polynesian, Hawaiian, or Tahiti juices.
