Pocono honeymoon a happy tradition of newlyweds

swimming, parasailing, fishing.
The resorts are equipped with
so many indoor facilities that the
couple never runs out of diver
sions - racquetball, indoor tennis,
shooting ranges, bowling, indoor
mini golf, archery and game
rooms.
For serious-minded golfers,
there are some of the finest golf
courses in the East located minu-
utes away.
It’s best to make reservations
for the Pocono honeymoon resorts
well ahead of time in order to
reserve the accommodation of
your choice.
“The top of the line goes fast,’*
according to one spokesperson.
But there is something for every
budget and for every taste.”

Pocono perfect
A couple visiting one of the Pocono honeymoon resorts opts
for a quiet and romantic picnic supper by the side of a
picturesque mountain lake. What could be a better setting In
which to begin to get to know one another better?
Whatever the season ... what
ever the weather ... it’s always
fair sailing and blue skies for the
honeymooners who make their
way each year to the Pocono
Mountains of Northeastern Penn
sylvania.
A honeymoon “mecca” for over
40 years, the Pocono honeymoon
resorts offer a unique honeymoon
experience. Here couples are
surrounded by their peers - other
couples of varying ages beginning
their lives together.
The companionship of other
couples is available for those who
want it, and complete seclusion is
another alternative, depending
upon the tastes of the couples.
The Pocono honeymoon resorts
are known especially for their
luxurious and elegant rooms - the
in-room swimming pools, heart-
shaped and champagne glass tubs
and whirlpools, the three-tiered
suites with round and king-sized
and canopied beds. Whatever
your decor preference, it can be
found here.
And the resorts are known for
the pampering care they take of
their couples; • after all, over 40
years of catering to newlyweds
makes them rather expert at what
they do.
They are known for their out
standing cuisine, and the variety
offered throughout the week and
on weekends in entertainment
featured nightly a bands for
dancing, comedians, belly dan
cers, newlywed games, singers,
duos, trios ... you name it.
One of the most important
things the Pocono honeymoon
resorts are known for is their
one-price-pays-all package. Rates
vary according to type of accom
modation chosen, but everything
is included - all of the food, the
entertainment, the myriad of
sports that are offered on premis
es.
In the winter months, there is
skiing (nearby), as well as sledd
ing, tobogganing, snowmobiling,
Choosing the right hairstyle
At a time when more and more
brides have full-time careers, it’s'
easy for a woman to overlook a
simple detail like her hair. With
lunchtime . and after-work hours
spent rushing from dress fittings to
showers to meetings with caterers
and florists, it almost takes a
superwoman to do it all.
“There are so many details
involved in planning a wedding
that even the most organized bride
might overlook her hair, particular
ly if she’s trying to keep her career
on track while planning the event of
a lifetime,’’ says Xenon, interna
tional creative director for the
Helene Curtis Professional Divi
sion.
According to Xenon, it’s easy to
have a wedding hairstyle that is as
radiant as your smile and flattering
as your dress - if you count on the
skills of a professional hairstylist.
Today’s working woman, more
often than not, counts on a profes
sional hairstylist to give her a look
that is polished and professional,’’
he says. “It only makes sense to
leave the worry over you wedding
hairstyle to the person who keeps
you looking great every other day
of the year.’’
Xenon offers these suggestions
to help you look your beautiful best
on the big day:
•Consult with your stylist soon
after you’ve set the date. You will
want to discuss hairstyle options,
including whether or not you want
to grow your hair out.
•Your stylist may be at the
church, or wherever you plan to
dress for the wedding, to style your
hair. Ask well in advance, so that
he or she can arrange his or her
schedule. And, see about having
your stylist do your bridesmaids’
hair as well. There may be a fee,
but the finished results will be well
worth it.
•Consider a perm, three to four
weeks in advance, to give your hair
the body and support it needs to
look its best throughout all of the
wedding festivities.
Today’s new perm formulations
leave hair in top condition, so
there’s no need to worry about frizz
or too-tight curl, and nothing
makes hair easier to style that a
good professional perm.
•Begin using a moisturizing hair
care line. A moisturizing hair care
system, will help to strengthen and
revitalize the hair. The added shine
you’ll have will really show in your
wedding portraits.
•If you stylist will not be assist
ing you on the day of the wedding,
take time to rehearse your bridal
style with your stylist the week
before so you’ll know exactly how
to do it on the day of the wedding.
Practising your bridal style will
give you added confidence. After
all, you shouldn’t have a care in the
world on such a special day,
especially not how your hair’s
going to look.

Looking for "that special gift"?
Leave it all to Jeanne!
Jeanne McDonald loves the work she’s in. She surrounds herself
daily with the beautiful things she selects for the store call
Token Treasures. Hers is a world of brides and grooms, birth
day wishes and tokens of love and affection.
Jeanne’s job is to assist customers in choosing that gift which
savs "I care". Jeanne does this well!
When it comes to brides and grooms, Jeanne relies on a bridal
registry. For many, the idea of a bridal registry is a mystery and
therefore an uncomfortable experience. Jeanne explains that it is
really neither of these things; it is a way for buyers to make the
wisest choice of a gift for their money and it answers that age old
question "What can I buy that will be really enjoyed?"
The bride-to-be is encouraged to drop into the store, alone or
with her Mom, to consult with Jeanne about her personal tastes
and those of her husband-to-be.
Within ten or fifteen minutes Jeanne has an idea of the colours
the bride plans for her first home and the accessories she enjoys
(brass, wicker, silver, copper, etc).
Jeanne records these facts and refers to them from time to time
as shoppers arrive to choose a special gift for the young couple
(or not-so-young couple). Buyers nave the knowledge of cnoosing(or not-so-young couple). Buyers have the knowledge of choosing
gifts of the taste and style they know will please. They are happy
they are not buying something the couple nas already received.
What it amounts to for the
shopper is that it is the wisest
use of money spent. It is a
choice of present which is go
ing to say " I care."
A few minutes of the bride’s
time, plus the gracious assis
tance of a manager like
Jeanne, and the gift becomes
a treasured token of affection.
