Found another one

Oh I absolutely love this! I have found another site to get parts for the Jeep. My honey is going to be over the moon. We have done so much work on it and still have so much more to go. You can see Smittybilt Reviews here, and judge for yourself. We have been looking for the winch for the front end and roll bars for the inside. I am confident that when he gets home, he will be happy that I have found this site, because they have a lot of the stuff he is looking for.

The neoprene seat covers are nice, but the seat covers with all the pockets on the back are just amazing. We could fit a lot of the little stuff we need to take with us on camping trips in that. I could put the first aid kit, Mosquito repellent, sunblock, and much, much more in there. There is also a tailgate cover that also has storage pockets in it. Tools, fix a flat, and other repair kits could be stored in those as well. The over head console with hydration pack is really interesting. If we were stuck, we wouldn’t have to worry about not having water with us.

I am really encouraged by what I have seen on this site, as we like to take off to very remote areas and need a lot of supplies, with little room to do so. The merchandise I like will come in handy on just about every trip we take in the Jeep. I think I am going to show this to my honey and then make sure that some of it is bought for his Christmas presents, by myself and various family members who have already been asking what to get him. Now I will have a list to give them.

Parts for Jeeps

My boyfriend has a Jeep that we use for off roading. He is very proud of this Jeep and keeps it in pristine condition. Finding after market parts for it used to be a problem, until he found Kentrol truck parts manufacturer. They have all of the stuff he could ever want to fix up his Jeep. Warrior Reviews can tell you all about Kentrol and what they do. We have bought a lot of parts through them and have plans to buy much more in the future.

They have stainless steel accessories that we really want to use on the Jeep, from bug sheilds, bumper, door and hood accessories to grill guards. I have never seen so many parts that could be used on his truck. One of the most recent things we put on the truck, was a Safari Sports Rack. Since we love to camp, we can load all of the camping equipment up on top and not have to worry about space. That is a major plus when you have kids and it’s a family camping trip. We always need a LOT of stuff to go camping. Now it’s not a problem anymore.

My man was reading about some of their stuff on Warrior Reviews and found that they have body armor for his truck. Now, he wants to put stainless body armor on the truck as well. I think it would look amazing like that, but I am not sure about it all being stainless. I am sure he knows what he is doing and it is his truck after all. He has really good taste too, so it’s all good. My oldest son is enjoying helping him fix the truck up. He makes sure to have my son there, and spend that time together. My son is now a serious Jeep enthusiast.

Car troubles

Well on my way to go get my tags renewed, my car started acting really off. I made it there and home, but now I think the time has come for a change. I have had this old car for so long, it’s almost a part of the family. However, with kids, I need to know that my transportation is reliable. So in light of this, I am looking at car lease deals to see who is offering what. I had thought about buying a newer used car, but I want something that is under warranty.

Warranty’s are important now a days. There is so much more electrical systems in the cars and can be very expensive to fix. My father will go with me to help me pick something reliable, but then that is what daddy’s are for. I will have to show him the car lease deals I find before we go. I will definitely not take the kids with me. I would never get to pick something out if I take them. They will all want something different and it would be a mad house. I guess I will have to do it while they are in school, which means dad will have to take the day off.

Cool planetarium

Planetarium
Cool looking planetarium

 

I would so love to take my kids here. This is a really cool looking place. The kids love to go to the planetarium. They have been on field trips there before and are always begging me to take them back. I would really like to take them to a larger one, but even more, I want to take them to an observatory. That would be amazingly cool.

Setting up shop

My cousin is a doctor and has decided to start his own practice. I am helping him to set up the office. I just ordered the hospital carts needed for the electronic equipment that will be used in the office. Each room will need one for the computers the nursing staff will use to record data on as well as other equipment. I am so proud of him and very happy to help him organize and begin this phase of his career.

Chasing kittens

We have a couple of kittens and my littlest guy is having so much fun playing with them. One minute he is chasing them and the next they are chasing him. He is dragging a long shoelace around behind him and they have been going nuts trying to catch it. It is so funny to watch. I might have to dig out the camcorder and get it on video. It is moments like these that I want to cherish forever.

Marketing your page

The best advertisement these days is online. Any good business person knows that they need a web page for their business. Most people build one, or have one built for them, but then are disappointed when it doesn’t generate much business for them. Thinking they wasted their money, they then let the web page just sit dormant and do nothing with it. Small business marketing is not that difficult. It doesn’t really take a lot of know how, to make a page worth the money you pay for it. The worst thing you can do however, is give up too quickly.

Your page needs to be available to local search. This way, potential customers will find your page with ease, and help your business flourish. Every time someone searches for something that has to do with your products and services, your page should pop up in their search for your area. There are many different ways to accomplish this, as well as companies that can help you manage the traffic that you need to come to your page. You only need to look for them, in order to achieve your goals.

Revlocal is a company that does just that. They can help with many different aspects of marketing your page and helping to drive traffic. You don’t want to waste the money you paid to have your page built, so using a company to help with that only makes sense. Any good business owner knows that to make money, you have to spend money. Advertisement and marketing are the most important things you can do to help your business grow. So, use the tools available to you and your business will do just that. Make the decision today, to be the best entrepreneur that you can. I hope this helps everyone.

Cob homes

All natural
Cob homes with a living roof.

 

Cob homes are making a revivial from the olden days. Made out of clay, sand, straw, water and earth, they are similar to the adobe style homes of the South West United States. The come back for these types of homes can be directly attributed to the green movement. Building green saves you money and some of the homes are actually built with recyclable materials as well, so save the environment on a larger scale. I believe this is really the way of the future, by going back to the basics.

BPI Training

My sister is taking these classes to get bpi training certification. There are a lot of places that are trying to become more energy efficient. Some of them require home energy audits before the sale of a home as well as energy companies who want home owners to bring their houses up to bpi standards. Green Training USA is the company she is going through for her certification. I am considering this myself, as the quest to go green intensifies around the globe.

Professionals in this area are becoming more in demand each year. The BPI building envelope for specialist training and certification can be purchased online. You need only find a center near you and begin your classes. It doesn’t take that long as the class is only four hours long, with one full day of on site, hands on training. The fees include your exam fees as well as the sudy guide.

Cellulite treatment

I have been seriously thinking about having a bit of cellulite treatment done. Cellulite can be caused by many different factors, such as

  • Metabolism
  • Physiology
  • Dieting
  • Skin Architecture
  • Tissue Structure
  •  Hormonal Factors
  • Genetic Factors
  • Micro-circulatory System
  •  Extra cellular Matrix
  • Inflammatory alterations

Weather it is hormonal, genetic, predisposing factors or life style, once you have it, it is there to stay without treatment. What ever treatment you choose however, is going to be an ongoing treatment, as there is no absolute cure.

 

There are many different treatments available, however only a few actually work. Laser treatment for cellulite is the leading treatment proven to work. Once you have gotten the cellulite under control, the number of treatments required per year are small. Usually a once a year treatment, much like having your teeth or eyes checked. A simple maintenance that is relatively quick and easy.

Learning about cellulite and it’s causes as well as treatments before committing to one, is of course the smart thing to do. After careful consideration, I have decided to go with laser treatment myself. Of all of the different treatments offered, laser treatment is the only one I have found that is truly backed by the FDA, according to my research.

Originating in Australia, the treatment goes down into the subcutaneous tissue where the cellulite originates and melts the small fatty cells away. This in turn firms up the skin and gets rid of those dimples we women are so self conscious about.

Face it, we all want to look good in that bathing suit during the summer months.  Laser treatment can help us do just that, without the invasive surgery that can leave scars on our bodies, and still unable to wear those shorts and bathing suits we do desperately want to wear. Investigate for yourself and you will see exactly what I am talking about.
