Spring Cleaning – hard work but such a great pay off!

  • June 8, 2010 4:08 pm

Spring-cleaning: for some a chore for others a joy. I learned about this ritual at an early age. Now, the thought of spring-cleaning evokes precious memories.

When I was a young child, back in the land of four seasons and none of them rain (Manitoba), the cold inhibiting days of winter were ushered out with a yearly farm ritual: spring-cleaning. No corner of our home was left untouched by brooms, dusters, scrub brushes, rags and other cleaning weapons. Every inch of closet was emptied, inventories were taken, value was assessed, surfaces were washed and cleaned, and then those clothes that were still ‘good’ were organized in a useful and efficient way. Beds were moved, dressers emptied, ceilings dusted.

My memory of choice is the window cleaning. After windowpanes were removed for cleaning, the windowsill became a place of pure ecstasy! I can easily recall those moments: sitting on my perfect perch, watching the ice break up in the creek behind our home. Huge pieces floated by, cracking loudly, twisting, crunching, piling up in a chaotic proclamation of the new season’s arrival. Fresh air was in abundance; pussy willows to the left, bird feeders with chirping chickadees to the right. It was heavenly!

It was that type of day where I learned that hard work pays off. At that early age, I felt the change of energy in my home and in myself after a day of thorough de-cluttering and cleaning. The house felt lighter, brighter, more cheerful. I felt like skipping.

The best part of de-cluttering and organizing for me today is hearing my clients describe similar feelings of lightness and freedom after a session together. Whether in their home or office, de-cluttering can be a cathartic passing of the old, the start a whole new season in life.

What are your plans this spring? Is a cluttered room or desk stopping you from enjoying your home or office the way you’d like to enjoy it? Have your dust bunnies proliferated beyond a reasonable limit? Do you find spring-cleaning to be a daunting task of Olympian magnitude? Has it never even occurred to you that a good spring-cleaning would be appropriate at the office?

How to Pick your Lender for your First Home or Refinancing

  • May 13, 2010 6:41 am

Your lender is one person that can make or break you with finances towards your home. Before you become involved with anyone that will involve your money, you need to make sure that they are going to offer you the best. Once you know some basic concepts, you can begin to find a lender that will fit your needs.

The first set of characteristics that you will want to look for with a lender is with the type of loans that they will offer and the policies that are set next to them. The loan that is offered to you should fit your individual financial needs and give you the benefit of the financial world. This doesn’t just include the loan types, it also includes the extra fees that are attached to loans and how these will differ with you. You should also ask about things such as pre-payment penalties and rate locks that may be attached to your loan.

You will also want to know how your lender will benefit you. Sometimes, you can get discount points added to your loan, as well as lender guarantees. These will help to lower the rate of your loan and will help you to gain credit. You want to make sure that no matter what the loan, that you are not going to be penalized for anything and that you benefit from what you are getting.

The main idea when finding a lender for your home or to refinance is to make sure that you will get exactly what you want from the loan. This includes everything from the type of loan that you will get to the timing and type of funding that will be offered to you. With any situation, go with your list of questions ready and be willing to listen to possibilities. However, if you aren’t satisfied, you can find a lender that will listen to you better.

Even if it is your first time buying a house or if you are trying to get a little extra money, you should always walk into a lenders office and know exactly what you are getting into. In the long run, this will make a difference in your abilities to stay in a place and benefit from what is being offered.

Organic Herb Gardening Is Something You Need For The Kitchen

  • May 13, 2010 6:41 am

Do you use a lot of herbs and spices whenever you are cooking? If you do, perhaps instead of buying these from the grocery, you can get this for free by making your own organic herb garden. In fact, it is so easy to do that even kids can get into it.

So what kind of herbs should you plant? Since they are going to be used for cooking, why not go for herbs that are either Italian or Thai. These herbs are called culinary herbs. Other examples that you can plant for cooking later on include basil, bay leaves, chives, dill, marjoram, oregano and parsley.

Chances are you would like to start from the very beginning which means you have to buy herb seeds. These are sold in packs and it is best to read the instructions before opening them.

Some organic herb seeds can be sown directly to the soil while others have to be raised in seedbeds. Best of all, you do not have to worry that much about pests because they are not that frequent when compared to planting fruits or vegetables.

One herb plant that you should avoid mixing with others is mint because it acts just like a weed and has the tendency to kill the rest. But since you need it, it is best to grow it in a pot so it does not harm your other crops.

Organic herb gardening is not different to organic farming because similar techniques are used to make them grow. The first step is to find the right location that offers adequate sunlight and drainage. Also, check on the soil conditions because what you have in your backyard may not be suitable for it.

When the soil is ready for planting, the rest of the work is easy since you just have to monitor their progress daily. You should also use compost bins so you produce your own organic fertilizer that can be applied to the garden.

Aside from making an organic herb garden outdoors, you can also do the same indoors so it is much closer to the kitchen. Instead of planting these on the ground, you will have to buy organic containers. These can be made from clay, plastic or wood. The important thing is that it provides excellent drainage and good air circulation.

When you use pots for your organic herbs, do not use soil but a mixture of peat, perlite and vermiculite. They need to be watered regularly so make sure it is moist and not damp. Since they also need sufficient sunlight, you can place these outdoors and then bring them back in when it is too cold or put these in the western or southern windows of the home.

Regardless if your herbs are grown indoor or outdoor, you still have to deal with pests and weeds. You can pick them off by hand or get other insects to do your dirty work. Mulch is another solution and you should apply at least 3 to 4 inches or 8 to 10 cm in order for it to be effective.

Herb gardening is a lot of fun since it can be used for other things aside from culinary like for cosmetic, craft, household or medicinal purposes. But if you are into cooking, then organic herb gardening is good for the kitchen.

Keep Fit With Essential Fatty Acids

  • April 2, 2010 5:30 pm

Why should I increase my Omega fatty acid intake?
Our intake of essential fatty acids has changed radically in the last century. Our ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 should be close to 1:1, but it is now over 10:1 and up to 20:1. This is due to the addition of corn, sunflower, safflower, sesame and other Omega-6 oils to our food supply. Such excesses are thought by many scientists to be a factor in a number of chronic medical conditions including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, asthma, acne, obesity and depression. It is clear that we need to increase our intake of Omega-3 fatty acids and decrease our intake of Omega-6 (linoleic acid) oils. By doing so we will be, look and feel healthier.

What are good fats and bad fats?
Fat is a concentrated source of energy. This source of energy is very useful during aerobic exercise. The longer the exercise, the higher the fat contribution for providing energy. Fat is particularly used in large quantities in the brain and nervous system. There are two types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. Unsaturated fats are commonly referred to as “good” fats, and should make up the greatest percentage of your fat intake.

UNSATURATED
• Unsaturated fats, “good fats” are liquid at room temperature, and remain in liquid form even when refrigerated or frozen.
• Good fats are part of the essential fats: omega 3 and omega 6, both of which are unsaturated fats.

What are EPA and DHA?
These are two specific essential fatty acids found in fish oil. Both Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) have been well documented in regulating cellular functions and promoting good health. Diets deficient in EPA and DHA have been associated with a number of health problems, most notably cardiovascular disease.

What is GLA and how is it different from other Omega-6 sources?
GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) is an Omega-6 fatty acid found in high amounts in borage oil, and to a lesser degree in black currant and evening primrose oils. In contrast to the sunflower, safflower and other Omega-6 oils, the presence of GLA in borage oil results in very different physiological effects. Linoleic acid in its current dietary excess promotes inflammation due to the production of arachidonic acid (AA). GLA on the other hand, actually interferes with the production of AA and decreases inflammation. GLA has been used with success in treating various medical conditions, most notably rheumatoid arthritis and eczema. Emerging science also indicates that GLA has synergistic activities with the Omega-3 marine-derived DHA and EPA, particularly in cardiovascular health and fat metabolism.

We all want to be healthy, happy and fit with enough energy for work and for play. A well-balanced diet, exercise, and enough rest go a long way in helping us get the most out of life. And essential fatty acids (EFAs) have been proven to help us achieve healthier and happier lives. These good fats’ truly are essential and the majority of us are not consuming enough of the well-researched Omega fats. Now getting the right amount of Omegas to suit your specific health needs is easier than ever.

Where do essential fats come from?
Sources of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fats:
• Cold Water fish such as Salmon (coho, king and pink), sardines, cod, albacore tuna, trout, halibut , herring. (these fish are also a great source of Omega 6, but are predominantly richer in Omega 3)
• Flaxseeds and green leafy vegetables are great sources of Omega 3.
• Sesame and sunflower seeds and other seeds and nuts are great sources of Omega 6.
• Borage oil and evening primrose oil are rich sources of GLA which is part of the Omega 6 essential fats.

Where do saturated fats come from?
Saturated fats contain large amounts of saturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids are named so, because they are “saturated” with hydrogen, meaning they have only single bonds between carbon atoms, leaving no room in their chemical structure for additional hydrogen atoms. Saturated fats are typically solid at room temperature.

Varieties of Saturated fat include: Butter, coconut and palm oils and lard.

Benefits
• aid in balancing the autoimmune system
• treats skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis
• cardiovascular health

Secured Personal Loans

  • April 2, 2010 5:30 pm

Personal loans provide borrowers with the opportunity to access funds for those areas in their life that need some assistance or where additional funding would work to their benefit. A secured personal loan is a type of personal loan that involves the borrower having to provide some type of collateral to the lender as assurance that they will repay the loan. This is due to the borrower falling into a high risk category. There are pros and cons to accepting a secured personal loan that we will explore further.

High risk in regard to loan repayment can mean a variety of things. It can mean you have an unsteady income, including self employment where the amount of income you have coming in varies each month. While the lender can see you have an income source, it is not considered to be a reliable as getting a regular paycheck. The decision will depend on the regulations of the lender, length of time you have been self employed, and the loan amount you are requesting.

High risk in terms of a secured personal loan generally imply the borrower has either poor credit or has not established enough of a credit history for a decision to be made. Poor credit can be the result of poor money management or circumstances that took place in your life which you had no control over. Some individuals think it is very unfair to be penalized for not having an established credit history. I agree that it can be frustrating, because you can’t really be expected to establish a credit history if no one will give you credit.

In either situation, use the opportunity of a secured personal loan as a way to prove yourself worthy of lenders working with in the future. Your credit is an area that is going to make or break you down the road, so use your opportunities wisely. A secured personal loan that is repaid as scheduled or sooner can help you on the road to re-establishing your credit worthiness or start your newly documented credit history of to an amazing start. Secured personal loans can offer opportunities to those individuals who would not be eligible for any other types of loans the chance to have the funding they need.

On the flip side, secured personal loans can be risky. It is very crucial that you understand that risk. Since you will be required to provide collateral for the loan, any default could result in you losing your home, other property, vehicle, whatever it was that you used as collateral on the loan. While entering the contract of a secured personal loan, no one really anticipates the loss of their collateral. It can be very damaging to an individual when the lender comes to collect that collateral.

To protect yourself, be realistic with your financial endeavors. You will need to ask yourself some tough questions and be honest with the answers. If you have a pattern of not being able to fully commit to financial obligations, then do not create further financial hardships for yourself or your family by becoming involved with a secured personal loan.

As yourself exactly how much you need to borrow and for what purpose, then stick to those terms. It can be tempting to borrow more when you need $5,000 and the lender tells you that he can approve the loan for $10,000. Don’t let your common sense and judgment be clouded by dollar signs.

Requesting Formal Attire for a New Years Eve Party

  • March 19, 2010 5:19 am

If you are planning a New Years Eve party, you might want to consider requesting your guest wear formal attire to the party. Although this is not necessary, it can make the entire party appear more elegant and formal. It can also help to create a more formal atmosphere for the party. When hosting a New Years Eve party in your home, the predominant reason for requiring formal attire is to set a particular mood or atmosphere. However, if you are hosting your New Years Eve party at another location such as a catering hall, there may be other reasons to necessitate formal attire. Some restaurants or catering halls have their own requirements regarding attire. If you opt to host your party in one of these locations, you have to ensure your guests adhere to these requirements.

There are some important aspects to consider when you are planning to request formal attire for your New Years Eve party. One factor to consider is whether or not your guests will object to this requirement. This is an important consideration especially if you have guests will opt to not attend your party because of this requirement. Although this is not a likely scenario since most people already consider New Years Eve to be a formal situation, it should be considered carefully if you believe it will affect attendance at your party. Again, if the party is hosted in your home, there will not likely be ramifications if a guest does not wear formal attire to the party because you will likely still allow them to attend. However, it is important to note that if the restaurant or catering hall where you will be hosting your New Years Eve party is implementing the dress code for your party, your guests may be turned away if they are not dressed properly.

When requesting formal attire at your New Years Eve party, it is important to note the attire guidelines on the invitations to ensure all guests are aware of how they are expected to dress for your party. One of the most popular ways to do this is to create one line on bottom of the invitation which states the attire requirements. Popular language for this statement includes, “Formal Attire,” “Black Tie Event,” or “Cocktail Attire Required.” Most guests will be familiar with this type of verbiage and will understand they are expected to dress formally for the occasion. If you are hosting the New Years Eve party in your home and there are no ramifications for guests who do not follow the attire recommendations, it is sufficient to state the attire guidelines on the invitation. However, if you are hosting the New Years Eve party in a restaurant and catering hall and they are enforcing the attire guidelines it might be worthwhile to make sure each guest understands these requirements. This is important because it could result in your guests being denied entry to the party.

There are a couple of ways you can help to ensure the guests understand the attire requirements. One way to accomplish your goal is to follow up your invitations with a phone call to each guest. During the phone call you can explain the attire requirements and make it clear guests who do not adhere to these guidelines will not be admitted. Another way to make sure guests are aware of the situation is to include a card in the envelop which explains the policies of the restaurant or catering hall and makes it clear that guests who do not follow these guidelines will not be allowed to enter the party.

Since you made the decision to host a New Years Eve party, in which guests will be required to dress formally, you have the responsibility of ensuring the event reflects the attire. For example it would be inappropriate to require formal attire and then serve foods which are difficult to eat and likely to result in a mess.

Orlando is a fine choice if you’re thinking of going to Disney, maybe having a little sightseeing, and going to the major destinations and tourist attractions in the Orlando, Florida area. The best areas to go to are some of the most popular as well, ranking among some of the highest in the world. Disney, for example, is one of the largest in terms of size and number of visitors. But vacations are not only about going places, you also have to think about where to stay, and an Orlando vacation hotel is perfect for your family holiday.

Hotels in resorts

Among the popular resort locations in Orlando, there are hotels that you and your family can stay in while you’re on vacation. That means that you won’t have to go far when time comes to turn your vacation fun up a few notches. Just a short walk’s distance from tourist attractions, hotels situated in resorts are perfect if you want to have fun while being near the hotel. This is better suited for those who have to have instant access to their hotel rooms, be it for special needs or what. Fun in or near the water is great for those who have a love for the beach.

Standalone hotels

As well as having hotels tied up in resort compounds, there are also standalone hotels in the city of Orlando, and these range from three to five-star accommodations. Perfect for everyone with every kind of budget. These hotels are also strategically located in the heart of the city or near existing tourist destinations so you know they really have convenience as their trump cards.

Hotels and theme parks

If ever you want to have a vacation wherein you start having fun right from the moment that you step out of your hotel, then you’ll want to stay in hotels located within the compound of the theme parks you’re planning to visit. Disney and Universal offer hotel accommodations right within their parks so that you’ll never have to be far away from their fun entertainment for everybody in the family. These are luxury accommodations, but with the right package or offer from travel agencies that you’ve booked with, then these rates might be reasonable enough for you to take.

Villas and luxury accommodations

Of course, there’s always a presence of super-luxurious accommodations in the vicinity of Orlando, so that anybody who wants to stay in complete pampering in their hotels can book a reservation in luxury hotels while on vacation. Iconic names in the hotel industry such as the Peabody or Sheraton have a presence here. There is no shortage in Orlando when it comes to luxury. Of course, there are villas for rent as well, so if you’re traveling in a small or moderate group you can rent your own place while on vacation.

Theme hotels

Theme hotels seem like a trademark of Disney, and they deliver on their promise. With entire hotels having a motif of their own, these hotels promise to deliver a unique experience in their own right. If you’ve ever wanted to stay in a hotel that gives visitors a touch of Africa, Disney has one just for you.

But wherever you go and whatever budget you may have, there will always be an Orlando Vacation Hotel that’s right for your budget and provide perfect accommodations for everybody in the family.

The Perfect Office Chair

  • February 14, 2010 6:52 pm

An office chair will come in all sizes, colors,
and shapes. Ergonomics means that a chair has a
healthy design. Chairs may come with adjustable
parts. All the while, the human body comes in
many different shapes and sizes.

Some may be tall, other short. Some require a
large chair, while others prefer a smaller width.
As much as we may want it to, the human body
isn’t as flexible as an ergonomic chair. Even
though it isn’t possible to find the perfect
office chair for everyone, it’s quite possible
to get adjusted to all types of seating.

Even if you aren’t able to find the perfect office
chair, you can always use techniques to make the
most of the situation. They can help make proper
use of the body and even enhance your coordination
as well. The idea here, is to hold your neck in
such a way that the length of your spine and neck
aren’t shortened or curved in any way.

There is no ergonomically designed office chair
that can force your body into the correct position
it should be in. It’s up to your body and mind to
sit in a a healthy manner.

When it comes right down to it, finding the perfect
office chair is all a matter of what’s best for
you. Office chairs come in all different shapes
and sizes, such as human body’s. If you try out
several chairs, you’ll find the perfect chair for
your particular body size.

Once you’ve found your perfect office chair, you
can relax like never before. At the office, finding
the perfect chair for yourself is something you
must do. Finding your perfect office chair isn’t
that hard – all you have to do is look around.

Ruin Not Thy Word-of-Mouth Quest

Opening a sale is more difficult than closing it
Most valuable word in your presentation: Consider

Introduction

One of my mentors is James English. He consults to sales organizations, large and
small. He has been self-employed for more than 40 years. Invariably, he is contracted to
help staff close sales. Jim believes people have more trouble opening the sales process
than closing it. I agree.

Most Valuable Word in Your Presentation

Sales trainers teach you to present to people who have needs you can fill, and who have
money to pay for your service. Jim determines (in seconds) whether a prospect is
interested in his services. His opening statement is, ‘May I request an opinion and
direction from you?’ The answer is usually affirmative. He continues with a statement
tailored specifically to his listener, then uses the single most valuable word in an
opening presentation.
