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.

Getting healthy

Well as you know, I have type two diabetes. Losing weight is difficult for me, so I am going on a serious work out regimen. I found a protein powder that I will take to help me with that. A while back I bought a workout system to use, but haven’t been serious about it and it just sits in the family room not being used. The time has come for me to get off of my couch and finally do it.

Big bonfire tonight

With the turning of the weather, bonfire time is definitely here and the kids are so excited. We just love this time of year. We will roast marshmallows and such tonight after dinner as we gather around the bonfire. My family is coming as well. I think we will have the last BBQ of the year, even though it is cold. I haven’t made up my mind about what to cook yet, so that is not set in stone, so to speak. We shall see.

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.

 

Grocery shopping

I have to do the grocery shopping today. I am not really looking forward to it as it seems like it is going to rain. I don’t have a choice though, because the pantry is looking sickly without much in it. I will probably only pick up a few things though. I usually do most of the shopping at the begining of the month and buy in bulk. Then I only have to drop by the store for perishables, like milk, eggs, and bread. I makes my life so much easier that way.

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.

Cleaning and laundry today

So I am cleaning the house and doing laundry today. I most of it already done and only a little more to go. Basically, just two loads of laundry to finish drying and fold to put away. I do have to vacuum my bedroom, but I am not in a big hurry for that. I can always do that tomorrow, so I will have something to do. Honestly, my kids are pretty clean around the house, and clean their own rooms. So I am pretty much good to go. I love my life.
