You can brighten up someone day without a  pricey gift! I didn't grow up with lots of money, so I always find creative ideas to cheer someone up as I got older. I started doing small things for others that didn't involve cash or much of it, to show my thanks, appreciation and/or admiration for someone. Like there was once, I bought chocolate bars for the whole office staffs and have them placed on each of their table before they come into the office. Check out some of my  favorite  ways to brighten someone's day to make them smile without hurting your wallet. Most of these actually mean more to the recipient than monetary gifts do because they come from the heart, not the wallet. 1. BRING EXTRA FOOD TO SHARE If you are bringing something to eat for breakfast at work, bring a little extra to share with the people around you. 2. LEAVE A NOTE B ecause we are all too used to sending handphone messages or emails and we forgotten one of the simplest way...

Wedding photos is usually a token of the finest day of your life. However, wedding photos might be either good, or very, terrible. Sometimes, wedding photos may be cliché with the same photo taken over and over simply with the wedding party being different. You would like your wedding photos to get as unique as the wedding and you really are. This starts with the engagement photo up to the reception. Step one to having wedding pictures that stick out is to start with a great engagement photo for wedding announcements. Too often, these pictures have zero personality, just a picture of two different people taken which has a generic backdrop. For a much better engagement photo, and later on great wedding photos, you must find a great photographer who has a full set-up of  photography studio equipment .
