Experiencing money challanges?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

More ways to save money. Recently I was reading in the “Penny Saver” more ways to save money, one interesting way I found is using coupons if you are recycling bottles and cans; to add to your savings coupons have been posted for you, with the various recycling center locations where you can bring your recyclable cans, bottles and even newspapers to the recycling center when you turn in your cans and plastic bottles. Check it out. You will be able to get more money for your items.

One more way to save money in a big way is to shop around if you are in need of auto parts. Usually auto parts are more expensive if you get them from the auto dealer, because the company has so much overhead to cover. I have bought from stores like Auto Zone, they are usually pretty good at saving you money, sometimes by 60%. If you know a good mechanic who is honest and can give you a reasonable price for his or her labor, you can save a bundle of money. For instance if your car is leaking oil and you find out that you need to change the oil pan, some dealers sell the oil pan for more than 100.00 dollars, the auto-parts store sells it for less than 50%. You just have to do your homework, this way your buck will buy more, and you will be able to meet the challenge. It sure helps decrease your stress level, if you can save money!

It is very painful when you have to pay 600.00 dollars for something that can be done for 125.00 dollars.

Doctor/ Give yourself a treat!

Friday, June 18th, 2010

It is no secret that you work long hours, sacrifice yourself, getting little sleep, and sometimes not eating or eating on the run.When there is such demand on your time, you must take care of yourself, set some boundaries to protect your health. Try taking 5 minute mini breaks through the day, make sure you get breakfast, lunch and dinner so that you can better do what you do best “take care of others”.
Ponder the thought of you in a relaxing atmosphere, a quiet place, beautiful music, if you like the woods, imagine you walking through a vast exuberant forest. You are breathing pure air and have noticed the beautiful sent of pine trees, soon you come to a small shallow creek and deciding to sit on a rock near the stream of clear water you take a deep cleansing breath. As you sit you are aware of the birds flying around and some birds playing near the water. As you look behind you, you are able to get a glimpse of a squirrel with reddish-brown fur and bushy tail enjoying an acorn, the squirrel sees you and quickly runs up the oak tree. You wish you had a camera to capture the view in pictures, however you did not bring your camera and you are now resigned to the idea of using your mind and your heart to keep the magnificent view in your memory bank. How refreshing it is to take time alone, so you can pull yourself together, treat yourself  you are worth it!

You can ponder and imagine a quiet time, what is more you should turn it into a reality by planning a mini-vacation to your favorite place, revitalize yourself for you, and by default for others.

Memorable Father’s Day!

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Father’s Day is around the corner, you can make Father’s Day a fun and memorable occasion. Visit San Diego, there are many wonderful places to see, one of our favorite places to visit is the zoo. You can save some money if you have a membership card. Usually the card provides free guest passes, and free rides. As a part of the membership benefit  you receive a magazine with discount coupons for the months of June through August. This means you could plan your Father’s Day even if is not exactly on father’s day. June 25 of 2010 the zoo has nighttime activities  at 07:30 p.m., a great bird show . Old San Diego is also another place you can visit, on the weekends they have live music which adds to the ambiance, music while you dine.

Dad might enjoy a quiet day at home, perhaps you can prepare a meal including his favorite entree and dessert, he might even enjoy a noisy day, just being a dad, playing ball in the back yard, or playing a table game with his children .Perhaps reading  a special book, or watching a movie in the evening, while eating popcorn and fruit salad.

The main purpose is to make the day special for him, let him know that he is loved. It does not have to cost a fortune.

More ideas to spice your love life!

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Invite your mate to “one enchanted evening together” Go together, or meet at the restaurant where you had your first dinner date. During your dinner date be prepared to play footsie under the table and reminisce. This can take you way back when you were so in love. Perhaps you can remember when you watch the sun set followed by some hot and heavy make out session. Do you remember when you fogged up the windows?
After your dinner date you can go home and give each other a 15 minute back rub, be creative.

You may also plan a romantic sunrise viewing for two. Perhaps you can visit the Grand Canyon or somewhere spectacular, bring your blanket. Fabulously romantic, it sets the mood for the rest of your day!
You can make a deal with your partner, receive two kisses, get two or for more free… must be specific where the kisses may land. Meet in the bedroom for some melted chocolate, strawberries dipped in chocolate, and feed each other, no napkins or towels allowed, a great way to get messy!
Go to the beach together, wear your bikini, do not forget your biggest towel, have your partner spread sunblock all over, skip your eyes.
Have fun as you spice your love life!!!

Reading can create sweet memories!

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Reading to your two, three, five year old, and even to your nine year old creates a sweet memory for both you and your child. You form a strong bond with your children. You also have something to talk about, when they grow older and they go through a difficult face in their existence. You can resort to those times when you read together, remember those precious moments when you took time to read, even though you have so many other things to do. When you read recipes and made bread, friendship bread you could take to school to share.Even the cat would want to join when you sat down to read. What a wonderful time you had when you could not go anywhere because you got snowed in, however you could make some hot chocolate and bake some bread, had your children choose the book of their preference and just be there while,they read to you or you took turns reading the story, with no one to interrupt you to go anywhere,because you were stranded anyway! How fun! Your children will never forget that!

Reading if you have not try it, do. It can be the missing link that joins you and your child forever.

The Powerful Chile!

Friday, April 30th, 2010

You can make the chile or pepper an addition to your grocery list and your diet. Many recipes are enhanced by it and the beautiful fact is that it is also a great home remedy. You might know the chile as pimento, mother nature provided us with over 300 varieties of chiles. Some of the most popular ones are the japapeno, piquin, guajillo, habanero; all these are very flavorful and also hot!

When you utilize chile in your recipes and eat it you will find that you can postpone illnesses such as the common cold, nasal congestion, you may reduce the possibility of some heart problems, it may prevent brain hemorrhage, and even prevent stomach ulcers. Chile is in many cases used as a natural remedy against cough, gripe, sinusitis and bronchitis. Some studies have shown that it even lowers the cholesterol level (LDL). It may be responsible for the prevention of cerebral hemorrhage, hypertension and cardiac problems.

Do not let fear keep you from chile if you have ulcers, contrary to the common believe and myth that it hurts you if you have ulcers, it fights the stomach ulcers. (It is alkaline not acid).

Just for fun have you ever looked at the ingredients in Guaifenesina, known as Robitussin? The list of ingredients include a substance that is like the one in the chile, great decongestant.

You may even want to start your own garden, plant peppers!

People who like to read, as they read get transported or taken to another place or even another dimension.Using this as a vehicle where they can travel in their minds anywhere they would like to go. You know who you are! Chances are your parents or someone who cared much about you, inspired you to learn the joy of reading.
Perhaps you enjoy reading novels, sports illustrated, readers digest like magazines, health magazines, or The Bible. If you are one of those people, as you read your mind travels without limits. How about when you read a recipe? Do you find that you can almost taste the final product?
Movie producers have turn some book material into movies, an example is The Lord of The Rings novel. The well known novel about the Hobbit named Frodo Baggins who inherits a ring from his adopted uncle Bilbo.A wizard shows up in this book, Gandalf is his name. He does research on the rings and tells Frodo that the ring belonged to a Dark Lord bent on domination. In the end the ring must be destroyed.

You see? if you were part of the joyful reading people, you were able to see in your mind all the detail and the mistery surrounding Frodo and the ring.

Reading! It must be done.

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Reading is a tool we can use to get ahead in life. Reading is a part of our daily lives, it is important and necessary to read. When we go grocery shopping, or window shopping or when we go on vacation reading is at the top of the list of things we must know. It makes sense and it makes our experiences less stressful if we know how to read in order to get from point A to point B. It is good to be able to read, some people read because they have to, others read because they want to read, and others simply for the joy of it.

There is a plethora of books in the market, people read some books just for fun such as The Lord of the Rings, a well known novel. Another novel is the Harry Potter series.

The Harry Potter series, took the world by surprise and it inspired many children to read. Children that before the books existed,were not interested in reading at all. Much credit goes to J.K. Rawling who wrote such interesting pieces.

It is up to the parents to help their children choose the appropriate books, careful not to discourage them from reading. Reading can also be very relaxing, it can be an escape, and a refreshing experience.
