The Body Shop Has Launched A Christmas E-Card Design Tool, Allowing Customers To Make Their Own Cards To Send To Friends And Loved Ones Wherever They May Be In The World

The Body Shop, the ethical cosmetics company, has launched a new section of its website that allows customers to design their own festive greeting card.

The Body Shop, known for its ethical roots, has created a card design tool to enable people who want to use less paper this Christmas, yet still want to spread some festive cheer, do just that. The e-card initiative fits beautifully with the seasonal theme at The Body Shop, “Festive and Fair“ – after all smart gifts needn’t cost the earth.

Those visiting The Body Shop website can navigate to the Beauty Lounge section, where the e-card creating tool can be found. Users can pick from one of seven designs, add a desired greeting and a personal message and then e-mail the e-card to their relatives or loved ones. The e-card design feature also offers a variety of Christmas greetings from around the world, allowing users to spread some festive greetings to people all over the world, regardless of language barriers.

The Body Shop Christmas e-card design tool is the latest feature to be added to the company’s online Beauty Lounge, which also includes videos offering make up tips, information regarding new products and a new Christmas gift finder tool, assisting those who may be stuck for some Christmas inspiration.

Mary C. Pugh, Top JP in CT offers same sex marriage upgrade to her civil union couples

Mary C. Pugh, the busiest JP in the state of Connecticut announces her policy of upgrading her past civil union clients to a marriage if they come to Norwalk, CT for the ceremony. Mary was recently seen performing one of the first same sex marriages in CT on ABC, CBS, NBC and the top CT channels, CT 8 and CT12.

The state of CT recently made same sex marriages legal. Same sex couples can now get married in CT. There is NO residency requirement, NO witnesses and a couple from out of state simply needs to come to CT, go to the town clerk’s office where they want to get married, present a photo id and proof of age (driver’s license is accepted), pay $30 and get a marriage license. They need to tell the town clerk who will be the officiant for the ceremony.

CT residents can get their license in the town of the ceremony or the town where either of them are residents. Couples who previously were united via a civil union can upgrade the status of their relationship to a marriage. The current civil union does not have to be dissolved. A same sex marriage can take place in one day; there is no waiting period.

After the ceremony, the officiant signs and dates the license and returns it to the town clerk where the ceremony was held. To obtain legal proof of marriage, the couple should obtain a certified copy of the license from the town clerk – each certified copy is $10.

For new same sex couples Mary offers totally customized vows, music and bubbles, a photo DVD emblazoned with their photo and a mini slideshow of their wedding photos. She wears a robe (select: black, white, purple, or red) and a stole or if the couple prefers, a black suit. Full service includes explaining the process and helping to obtain the license.

Mary C. Pugh is proud to offer a free upgrade to any of her couples who previously had her officiate at their civil union.

Just contact Mary at 203 838 1038 or email her at mary@ct-jp.com. For more information, go to www.ct-jp.com.

About Mary C. Pugh:

Mary, who has her MBA from Columbia University, has completed two terms as a Justice of the Peace and will be accepting a third term which begins in January.

Her 24/7 availability and ability to speak English, Spanish and some French have made her very popular – she performs more ceremonies than any other JP in the state.

Many out of state couples come to Mary as she guides them through the process. She is happy to pick up couples from the train station, take them to town hall for their ceremony and return them to the train station.

For high profile and couples who wish to maintain their privacy, total discretion is assured.
