When my husband and I got married we didn’t have much money to have any fancy decorations at our wedding. I did, however, come up with some inexpensive, creative ideas to make sure our flower girls were dressed in style.

We had an outdoor wedding in August, so it was easier to dress our young flower girls for the nice weather. We had two flower girls in our wedding, ages 7 and 9. Because we have two mothers who love to sew, the flower girls’ dresses were very inexpensive. I picked out a simple, yet elegant sundress pattern, and paid about $3 a yard for a pretty summer print. The dresses were calf length and sleeveless, with a big bow in the back.

My husband had a hand in decorating the flower Portable Garden Hose Reel Cart Manufacturers girls’ baskets. He is always one to fix up something instead of throwing it away, so he came up with the idea of spray painting wicker Easter baskets. It was perfect--we already had the baskets and the white spray paint.

Next I tied some pink and white ribbons around the handles of the baskets, and then I glued on some matching silk flowers (just a few, to accent). The baskets were simple and elegant.

Finally we gathered together the rose petals we’d gathered from our garden just for the occasion, and filled the baskets with petals we’d laid out in the sun to dry.

For a finishing touch, I took some of the leftover silk flowers and ribbons and decorated hair clips for the girls.

The grand total for the two matching flower girl dresses, with matching baskets and hair clips, was under $30.

Pepper spray has been measured as a percentage of OC in the active and inactive ingredients of the spray and the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) of the particular spray. In marketing the effectiveness of pepper spray, some manufacturers stress the OC rating, others stress the SHU as how "hot" their spray is, yet others use both to market their sprays. The range of percentages on the market today is 10% to 17% OC and/or a SHU could be up to 5,300,000 heat units. What is the actual percentage of OC and/or heat units that is in the spray to affect the attacker? If you do your research you will learn from various sources that the SHU of pepper range from 0, like green bell peppers, to the actual 16,000,000 of a Cayenne pepper in pure form. Everything is diluted.

The only true way to measure a spray’s potency is to measure it AFTER it leaves the nozzle. I believe that an educated consumer is a wise consumer. What you buy for your personal self-defense and the self-defense of your family is a major concern requiring research and an important decision. The safety of you, your friends, and family is at stake.

So, the question now looks like this. What is the "quality & effectiveness" of your OC pepper spray vs. "quality and effectiveness" claimed?

90% of the pepper sprays on the market claim an unrealistic, false and/or unsubstantiated "true" heat rating. The math you use for this is very simple. If the OC spray claims 10%, then you multiply the SHU rating by 10% and that will tell you what you should get out of the nozzle, or business end of the pepper spray. The formula looks like this:

If the product claims 15% OC at 2,000,000 SHU, you multiply the claimed SHU by the claimed percentage of OC. i.e.: 2,000,000 SHU X 15% (or .15) = 300,000 "true" SHU.

Now, even with all this information available to you, the question still remains, "What pepper spray is right for you?" You really have to look at your life-style, environment lived in, and need. It will take some searching, but you will find the one that will suit you and your needs. You can find an effective pepper spray.
