Somethings about Cursive writing:

The term cursive derives from Middle French cursif from Medieval Latin cursivus, which literally means running. In the Arabic, Syriac, Latin, and Cyrillic alphabets, many or all letters in a word are connected (while others must not), sometimes making a word one single complex stroke. Steven Roger Fischer suggests that based on finds at Saqqara, the reed pen might well have been used for writing on parchment as long ago as the First Dynasty or about 3000 BC.

Cursive handwriting was originally conceived and invented as a calligraphic art form in the 16th century for the design of special greeting cards. From this writing, the joined-up Latin source writing has developed.

Don’t you love flawless writing or even reading the nicely handwritten letter?

Handwriting plays a major role in the acquisition of written language and spelling and is less to be regarded as a mere fine motor skill. Handwriting is a complex and major achievement of the brain that connects the language center, the motor area, cognition, and other areas. This means improved networking of the neural structures that are important for successful (not just academic) learning.

They say; “Spoken words fly away, written words remain”.

Winter is around the corner and all we do at this time is to dig into our closets, suitcases and storage compartments to find winter outfits, shawls, sweaters, jackets, gloves and cozy scarfs that make you feel utterly warm at your transit between work and home or traveling to some snowy destination. Although this year’s winter seems like playing hide and seek, we can utilize this time to be prepared and not surprisingly get sick overnight from cold wind.

The very first step you want to take is, take out all your winter outfits and lay them into the shade and let them breath some fresh air, they do not have to be under direct Sun for discoloration, though.

As we all know, we wear winter outfits hardly a few months in a year, we do not even buy new ones every year, however, shuffle your closet, and align all your outfits which you will be wearing underneath the wintery garment. Wool and fur are those types of winter outfits that need extra care while washing, drying, wearing and storing. We have a few tips for you that will remind you not to miss a thing.

As you may know, wool is naturally non-allergenic. If wearing woolen items results in a rash, it may be due to the presence of wool wax known as lanolin. Sweaters and other woolen garments tend to lose their shape quite easily. It may shrink in size if not washed properly. Things to remember are:

• Read the label before washing. Some garments are dry clean only, do not wash them home
• Wash wool less frequently.
• Wash darks and lights separately.
• Use a gentle detergent.
• You can wash small spots or dirt, food spots separately before putting garments into the machine
• Turn the garment inside out before you wash it.
• Soak the garment in cold water before you put it in the machine.
• Always use a cold water cycle.
• Tumble dry only if it says on the label
• Iron clothes only if says in label, it must have ironing symbol
• Never make the error of hanging your woolen clothes in the wardrobe.
• For storage purposes, always fold them properly and keep them in a cabinet or boxes, or place them on a shelf that doesn’t come in contact with the walls.
• Always add mothballs and cedar chips while storing woolen clothes. This will kill and repel insects.

Many manufacturers recommend not to hand wash or machine wash woolen clothes. Instead, they insist on getting them dry cleaned. As you know, all clothing items have care instruction labels sewn in them. If the label clearly says “Dry Clean Only”, always take the clothes to a professional dry cleaner.

Now that you have made up your mind to go pro with your storing event, incorporate vibrant colors in your everyday look, match your favorite jewelry and handbag to look cautious fashion goer without making any efforts. Do not forget to eat healthy while keeping warm and walk in the Sun with sun screen lotion on.

Breast cancer awareness is an effort to raise awareness and reduce the humiliation of breast cancer through education on symptoms and treatment. Greater knowledge will lead to earlier detection of breast cancer, which is associated with higher long-term survival rates. Thus, community members and non-profit organizations raise awareness of breast cancer by organizing multiple events throughout the world. Breast cancer is not a fatal disease, 2% of deaths are occurring due to breast cancer compared to 32% from heart diseases and 56% from other types of cancer (According to World Health Organization).

The pink ribbon and wearing pink outfits are the most prominent symbols of breast cancer awareness, and in many countries, the month of October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Increased awareness has increased the number of women receiving mammograms, the number of breast cancers detected, and the number of women receiving biopsies. Overall, as a result of awareness, breast cancers are being detected at an earlier, more treatable stage.

At the Ontime, we encourage everyone to wear pink, spreading awareness about this cancer at our online store. Our objective is to spread awareness through showing concerns to those who are diagnosed and of those who lost their lives. It is recommended for women to get a mammogram done once in their fruitful life and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Cancer is something, we have to fight until it totally vanishes from this planet. Until then, let us unite and support each and everyone and promote a healthy lifestyle to hunt fatal diseases.

The story of handbags is merely wholesome. The oldest known purse dates back more than 5000 years and was a pouch worn by a man.

The purse became handbag as we started using it to store larger accessories and essentials like documents and gadgets. Women’s bags grew larger and more complex during the 19^th century. Women were taught embroidery as necessary skills for marriage, which later was used to make handbags and other decorative. Museum of bags and purses in Amsterdam displays a collection of bags used from the 17^th century, made of hard cases and carpetbag style clothes, too.
