Tips Before Remodeling

2016-04-07T15:01:00.003-07:00

Your renovation project is something that you will likely spend a lot of time completing. It might involve remodeling an entire room or each room in the home. However you want to change the appearance of the home, you want to keep in mind a few simple tips that can help give the best results possible.

Make a plan before any of the work is completed. You want to make a list of the items that you will need and the colors that you want to use. Gather all of the supplies that are needed before the project begins so that you aren't going back and forth to the store for hardware or small pieces that might get lost in the middle of the project. Create a picture of what you want the new area to look like so that you aren't completing the remodeling project blindly.

Think about the bigger picture once the remodeling project is complete. You don't want to add appliances that are going to use more energy than the ones that were in the home before. Look at the care that is needed to maintain the floors, walls and other aspects of the remodel as you might not want to spend a lot of time cleaning when you could be spending time with family and friends enjoying the new look of the home.

When you hire contractors or people who will help with the remodeling project, you want to make sure they are knowledgeable or certified in the work that is done. Don't let someone who works in plumbing complete the electrical work, and make sure the person who is building knows how to use measurements. Before the work begins, find a place in the home where you can have a similar living situation while the work is being completed. Look at work that has been done by the company that you hire. See if the company can give you the design that you desire as some companies might not know of the latest trends when it comes to colors, framing, electrical work and personal design ideas. Get a free quote now by looking online and contacting companies that seem to offer what you want in the remodeling project.

Olive Oil for Thicker Hair

2013-08-06T17:18:00.002-07:00

My mother used to have long and thick hair when she was younger. Now that she is more than 70 years old, her hair is thinning and has lost its luster -until she discovered the benefits of olive oil to hair.

She starts to regularly apply olive oil to her scalp a few hours before taking a bath. Sometimes, she would apply it at night and just sleep with a hair cap to make sure the olive oil is really absorb by the scalp.

And to our surprise, after a few months of doing it, her healthy hair is restored –thick and shiny again. For those who want to try it too, here’s a simple recipe for olive oil hair mask:

Just add a few drops of honey to olive oil to make a hair mask. Add just enough honey because too much of it can make the mask sticky and harder to apply. When the desired consistency is reached, apply the mixture to hair and scalp and then cover it with a hair cap.

Wait for 1 and ½ hour before rinsing it with shampoo. It is best to rinse with cool water because hot water takes away hair shine.

Do this natural hair care treatment regularly and your hair will be the envy of many.

Tips to Create a Healthy Relationship

2013-03-05T17:33:00.001-08:00

I came upon this story in Facebook. A friend shared this and I am deeply touched because of the lessons it teaches on how one can maintain a healthy, loving relationship with all the people in our lives. I wish I can acknowledge the author but I am guessing that this one is posted anonymously. Read and learn a great lesson in life:

Burned Biscuits - A lesson we all should learn.

When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!

All my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that ugly burned biscuit. He ate every bite of that thing...never made a face nor uttered a word about it!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said, "Honey, I love burned biscuits every now and then."

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Mom put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides--a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!"

As I've grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people.

I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

And that's my prayer for you today...that you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn't a deal-breaker!

We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!

"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket--keep it in your own."

So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burned one will do just fine.

And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life--I just did!

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

"Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil--it has no point"

Enjoy Great Skin by Going Natural

2013-02-20T14:16:00.001-08:00

Everybody wants to have a beautiful skin and to achieve that-one must be wise in choosing the skin care product to purchase. There are skin creams and ointments that are loaded with chemicals, would burn a hole in one’s pocket and would even prove to be ineffective in the end.

Since our skin is very sensitive, it is a must that we wisely choose the products we buy for our body’s largest organ. It is best to purchase skin products that are loaded with natural ingredients.

One company promises to give the best skin care by offering beauty products that are safe and effective. The products of Madhippie- a company based in Austin Texas are safe because it do not contain harmful chemicals and effective because they utilize natural antioxidants to fight elements that cause skin degeneration.

How to Be Happy & Fight Negative People

2013-02-17T02:44:00.001-08:00

Everybody wants to be happy and indeed there are so many reasons for one to feel joy. However, as ironic as it may seem, happiness seems to be so elusive for many. There are days when it is just so tempting to wallow in self pity and despair. Various factors can cause unhappiness – the situations we are in, the people in our lives etc.

Negativity (negative thoughts, negative people) is so real that it can fill our daily lives. If one is not careful, you may find yourself being swallowed away by these dark and destructive emotions.

But to be wise and happy, you should not let all the negativity put you down. To be really happy, we should cultivate the happiness inside ourselves, not on external and material things.

One can also find it easy to stay happy by thinking of the people who are dear to us, just like what this wonderful poem that I found says:

“Think of Those Who Love You"

If someone should hurt you

and say a thing unkind...

Remember what I write to you

and keep these thoughts in mind.

For everyone who makes you cry,

there are three to make you smile...

And a smile will last a long, long time,

but a tear just a little while.

Don't let someone who hates the world

cause you to hate it too...

Behind the clouds is a Golden sun,

and a sky that's full of Blue.

If someone said a thing that's cruel,

don't let it get to you...

Your achievements are greatly numbered

and your faults are very few.

So if a certain person should act a certain way,

Think of those who love you

and don't let it spoil your day!

Love Tips Hope for the Broken Hearted

2013-02-15T00:24:00.001-08:00

Thoughts of a Brokenhearted

Love, like so many things in my life is a changing concept. Lately though, love for me has taken on a horrible spin. All it took was one phone call from a friend who told me my boyfriend has finally decided to leave me for her!

In a moment, my world crushed to pieces. A dark cloud enveloped my whole being.

Suddenly love became nothing but a dangerous game where everybody wins except me. I thought of it as a fraud, which brings momentary happiness, but in truth will just lead one to unbearable suffering.

For quite a long time, I allowed myself to be swallowed by dark emotions. I spent my days in a quandary and my nights in tears. It felt like nothing would ever be the same again. I desperately wanted my life back to normal.

But I struggled to get out of that mess. “No one can hurt me without my consent,” I constantly reminded myself. I surrounded myself with supportive and pleasant people; friends, family, even strangers, anybody who cared. I started joining organizations; concentrate in my studies, I even started a new hobby. I practically did everything that would keep my mind off it. I was willing to try anything and anybody just to hear myself say, “I finally got over it.”

But, everything I've tried relieved me only for a while. The pain remains as real as the air I breathe! I still feel weak. But it's a blessing to finally have the strength to admit that at present, I am not in control of my emotions. Time will heal all these wounds. Just wait, be practical and as time passes by, the pain will go, for pain is the breaking of the shell which encloses our understanding.

Just the other day, I found myself thinking about the four-letter word, hoping to grasp its significance in my life. It was a fruitless attempt. Love is something I don't need: something I'm better off without and the more I think about it, the more absurd and pathetic it seemed to me.

I closed my eyes and in surrender, I let the word love dominate my thoughts. Gradually, an array of emotions represented by colors formed in my mind. It was a heavenly sight, like a melted, multi flavored icing. There were all sorts of colors imaginable, constantly mixing, hues and tones. Changing every second as it goes round and round; getting wider as it beats and moves to an invisible rhythm that is both soothing and slow. It was easy to be lured by its splendor. But it was a trap. One stare too long and the images haunt your every waking moment.

After a while every reason which drawn you to it fades. Its magnificence ceases and all that’s left is making you dizzy and numb. It becomes art in its gruesome form, losing both its essence and style.

I opened my eyes, half torn, and half relieved but smiling, assured by the faith that all is part of the healing process. Recovery, without even exerting any effort will come sooner than I expect, at a time when experiencing it doesn’t matter anymore. It won’t be long till my whole life light up…beauty and happiness in all sorts of shades…

How to Keep Veggies Fresh Longer

2013-01-21T18:24:00.000-08:00

To be healthy, one needs to eat lots of fresh vegetables. The problem is it is hard to buy as many vegetables as you want because there is this pressure to use them right away as they might go stale.

To solve that, one just needs some paper bag. Yes, put your tomatoes, lettuce, and other greens inside a paper bag before stocking them in your refrigerator. You will see that you can enjoy green and fresh vegetables longer. This is because the paper seeps absorbs the extra moisture in fruits and veggies.

Post regularly. Blogging is not a one time thing. Once you start, you have to keep going. Make sure that you post at least once a week to keep the blog active and attractive to the search engines.

Have the passion for it. Don’t just blog for the purpose of making money. Start a blog because you love doing it and blog about the things that really interest you. This will keep you going and will give you reasons to keep on posting.
Learn how to socialize. Add share buttons. In a lot of ways, blogging is sharing and reaching out to others. So don’t blog for yourself alone. It is great if you can visit other blogs of similar topics. Blogging can give you lots of friends. It will also be good in increasing the backlinks for your blog.

Always be alert on new blog features you can add to improve your blog. Always take steps to improve and grow. You can read guide materials, blogging tips and observe other blogs.
Strive to learn about SEO. Search engine optimization or Seo is the magic word for all web masters. Owning a blog is a mini website so you must also know SEO. It is about building backlinks for your blog, maximizing the use of meta tags, and stuffing your blog with the right keywords etc.

Have a Spirit of Excellence

2013-01-06T16:38:00.001-08:00

Recently, I had the privilege of watching this 30-minute video by Joel Osteen that is so inspiring, it just has to be shared. It is applicable to everyone and in all aspect of our lives. It is all about having a spirit of excellence. I took some notes while watching this video:

• The video says that in our society today, mediocrity is the norm. However, God doesn’t bless mediocrity, God blesses excellence.

• So all of us should -Go the extra mile” and “Do more than what is required.”

• Living well or in excellence praises and honors God.

• Having a spirit of excellence also means doing the right thing at all times, even when no one is watching.

• We should all- “Take pride in our work.”

• Be proud of what God has given you- no matter how small or big.
The eagle recovers around a mark!

Watch this Joel Osteen Video and be moved:

True Cinnamon versus Cinnamon Cassia

2012-12-31T18:23:00.005-08:00

Many people who are interested to use cinnamon are confused about its two kinds – there is what they call true cinnamon and then there is the cinnamon cassia.

What is the difference between these two? What should I use if I want to take advantage of its nutritional benefits?

Cinnamon and Cassia: Different in Every Way

Cinnamon and cassia are from the same plant family (Lauraceae) and the same genus, Cinnamomum. However, cinnamon and cassia are not from the same plant family so people should not confuse them as one and the same. Their nutritional and health benefits are also very different.

The scientific name of the true cinnamon is “Ceylon cinnamon” and it is obtained from Cinnamomum zeylanicum plant. This kind is also known by the name Cinnamomum verum, which means "true cinnamon."

Cassia on the other hand is from a different species of cinnamon that includes Cinnamomum cassia(also known as Cinnamomum aromaticaum) and Cinnamomum burmannii.

Cassia is also often referred to as Chinese cinnamon, Saigon cinnamon, Java cinnamon and Padangcassia.

How to make a distinction between the two?

The true cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon is rolled like a cigar and it is thin and brittle. On the other hand, cassia is thicker and harder because it is double-rolled. You will also find that Ceylon cinnamon cost more than cassia.

Those who want to use cinnamon for its health benefits especially in regulating blood sugar should use the Ceylon cinnamon

Cassia contains coumarin, a naturally occurring plant component that has anti- coagulant properties. Too much intake of cassia with coumarin may cause health problems because our blood needs to maintain its ability to coagulate in times of injury.

If you buy cinnamon powder, then it would be hard to tell if it is made from Ceylon cinnamon or cassia. The only thing you can do is to buy from a manufacturer that clearly states its source.

If you are buying stick cinnamon, then you need to examine the texture of the sticks downward. In cassia cinnamon, you will notice it is just a one-piece bark without multiple layers. If the stick shows multiple layers at the end, then it is made from true cinnamon.

True cinnamon is recommended for those who plan to use it regularly as they do not pose any adverse health effects.

Cassia cinnamon is for those who only want to consume it on a limited basis because too much consumption can be harmful. It is best to choose organic cinnamon.

How to Use Cinnamon at Home

2012-12-31T18:18:00.000-08:00

One element of good housekeeping is making sure that the house is not lacking in basic essentials. These are stuff that one should always have a stock at home; simply because of the variety of ways it can be used. Examples of these essentials are spices and condiments such as salt, pepper, vinegar, soy sauce and yes- adding cinnamon to that list is definitely a good idea.

Cinnamon is a very useful house product and listed below are some of the reasons why:

Instant air freshener: Walking into a room with fresh scent boost the mood and make relaxation easier. Instead of buying air fresheners that can be costly, why not put a dish of ground cinnamon in a room and enjoy the sweet scent.

Make an Incense. Use a match to ground cinnamon and you already have a pure incense. Just remember to put it in a heat-resistant container.

Make Your Own Moth Repellant Sachets. You will need small square pieces of fabrics as this is where you will put the cinnamon insect repellant mixture. Just combine cinnamon sticks which have been broken to small pieces (at least 4 sticks), half a cup of whole cloves and half a cup of black peppercorns (whole). You can put it in your closet to keep moths away.

Cinnamon: A spice that is everything nice

Cinnamon is produced from the evergreen tree that belongs to thecinnamomum family. It is actually the dried inner bark of the evergreen tree that is harvested during the wet or rainy season because at that time, the bark would be more flexible and easy to handle.

The most common type of cinnamon is produced from thecinnamomum zeylanicum or Cassia Cinnamon plant that is a native tree in Sri Lanka. This explains why the name of the tree is actually derived from one island in Sri Lanka which is Ceylon.

However, cinnamon intake also has some side effects. It is not recommended for pregnant women and people with diabetes because it contains coumarin which is a compound that can thin blood.

Buying Tips Fruits in Packs

2012-12-28T03:10:00.002-08:00

My whole family loves fresh fruits and vegetables so these are always a part of my grocery list. And whether in a supermarket or a stall market in our neighborhood, I would always see fruits and veggies that are already neatly wrapped whether in a plastic or other attractive packaging.

I have bought some of those and almost every time, there would always be several pieces of fruits or vegetables that are stale or not fresh. It is easy not to notice them when buying because these fruits/veggies are hidden in the middle of the package. I am sure these are done on purpose and I always felt cheated by this strategy.

TIP: So I learned that in buying fruits and veggies it is wiser to just choose the unwrapped ones and though it may be time consuming, it is best to pick the fruits or vegetables by piece.
