You might not think that many women of today have much time to lounge around in front of the television during the day and watch all of the day time soaps that are on so many of the major networks. However, their ratings show that this is evidently not the always the case. Although the first airing of the soaps are during the day on the major networks there is another channel that airs them at night and they are dedicated solely to soap operas and other serial shows that women love.

What is the big attraction that some women have to these television programs? If they are stay at home moms and have kids in school during the day, it might be the only time they have to sit down and relax and enjoy a few television shows. They might be an older lady that stays at home whose children are already grown and moved out of the home. There are a lot of ladies that enjoy these shows and probably for different reasons.

After all, who would not like to watch the incredible exciting lives that the soap stars portray in the imaginary existence? They have as many lovers as they want, they remarry repeatedly until they get it right or not and they can even come back from the dead a time or two and look just as incredible as they did beforehand. They get to have a lot of money and travel to exotic places and wear the greatest looking clothes, cars and homes. They lead the most seemingly enjoyable lives filled with all sorts of intrigue. It might be be fantasy of many women to get to live like this.

Perhaps it is just because of all of the reasons mentioned that they enjoy these soaps so much. Perhaps they do not have the opportunity in their lives to have very much fun and adventure. One thing is for sure, they never will have any adventure other than that they watch on the television as long as they are sitting there on the sofa. Perhaps if they got outside into the real world and try to drum up some excitement of their own, they would have better things to do than be such big fans of people who only lead imaginary lives. No disrespect intended to the soap opera because they are entertaining, but there is nothing more entertaining than enjoying a real life.

Santa Barbara is the place to go to for green and glamorous eco-chic weddings! With venues such as the Four Seasons Biltmore overlooking the gorgeous Pacific Ocean, San Ysidro Ranch nestled into the Montecito foothills, or the elegant Bacara Resort and Spa, you need look no further for the perfect venue. Each location caters to brides seeking elegant, upscale events, and each provides a fabulous venue that is both environmentally friendly and exquisitely memorable. Santa Barbara also offers several beachside locations and private estates suitable for weddings

One of the most important aspects of any wedding is the meal. Local sourcing of organic produce is easy in Santa Barbara. There are always organic options always in season, and one visit to a Saturday Farmers’ Market will give you a sense of the bounty available for local chefs. There are several excellent options for humane sourcing of meat and poultry, as well as well as local, sustainably-fished seafood options. Santa Barbara offers many choices of caterers with discriminating palates that will enable you and your guests to eat well, healthy and organic. We’ve produced events where even the wedding cake was baked with organic flour!

Create gorgeous, custom paperless invitations are easy on the wallet and on the earth. You can use them for your “save the date” cards as well. For paper invitations, take a look at Twisted Limb. Here you will find many environmentally friendly, handmade papers. The website offers helpful suggestions for green parties and weddings.

Use a florist that works with local, organic plants and flowers. The greenest option is to use locally grown, live plants that can be rented for the evening or planted into your garden. Or, you may donate them to a local school to plant after your wedding. We recently planned an event where the wheatgrass centerpieces were donated after the event to a turtle and tortoise rescue foundation called Turtle Dreams, providing food for many rescued reptiles.

A lovely option for party favors are locally produced food items such as Santa Barbara honey, olive oil, pistachios, locally roasted coffees from Green Star, hand dipped candles or dried lavender from the farmers’ market. Bridesmaid’s gifts can include jewelry made by Montecito jewelry designer Samantha Goldstone made of interesting beads and stones.
