RELATIONSHIP TIP OF THE WEEK: It's His Gift, Not Yours

As the holidays approach and you’re shopping for your man, don’t make the mistake that many women make. Don’t use the opportunity to attempt to mold your man into someone you want him to be with your gift. It happens all the time. Women buy men clothes, shoes, even sunglasses they wish he would wear. They buy surprise tickets to performances they want to see -- that their partner wouldn’t take them to see otherwise. Sports-oriented gifts like golf clubs have been given to inspire men to join… Continue

Marketing TIp of the week: Common Mistakes to avoid with images

Avoid Creating a logo that doesn't work in a variety of mediums. A vector logo is absolutely necessary if you think you might need it in a large format unless it includes a photograph. Vector logos are scalable and can be any size without pixelating. For example if you made this mistake you probably had to pay or will need to pay to have the logo re-created at a much larger size OR re-created as a vector logo when you need it on a large banner, or on a trade show display.… Continue

Social Etiquette Tip of the Week - Surprise…I’m at Your Front Door!

This week’s social etiquette tip was inspired by good friends who were invited to a quiet Thanksgiving dinner at the home of a dear friend. During their meal the doorbell rang...at the door were several friends of the hostess who decided to just ‘drop in’ to say hello.

Was this ambush visit rude? Absolutely! Uninvited guests can often disrupt your planned evening whether it is a holiday celebration, dinner with friends that was booked long ago, or simply just some quiet time. ..or… Continue

Great Gifts at $20 and Under

And they're off! Black Friday is traditionally the kick off of the holiday shopping season and I admit, I was out there, with my mom, buying gifts for each other and family members.

Many people have trimmed their gift giving list and gone to drawing names within families, but we stay content with trying to buy for most everyone in our immediate family. Like many others, we also feel compelled to give gifts to people we rely on and spend a great deal of… Continue

Bah Humbug

Just not in the holiday spirit this year? For some reason you cry at Christmas songs instead of feeling the joy? You yell at your kids while waiting for Santa instead of enjoying the moment? Has Ebenezer Scrooge moved into your heart and you just do not feel like celebrating?

Our emotions are our inner sensor for when we are on track in our life and when we are not. If you are feeling sad or are angry, these are signs that you are not in sync with the joy in your life. It means that… Continue

SUGAR SUBSTITUTES THE UPDATED FAIRYTALE.........

Once upon a time, your choice for a sugar substitute was pretty much limited to one product—saccharin, commonly sold as Sweet'N Low. Twenty-four years after "the pink one" debuted in 1957, aspartame (Equal and NutraSweet) was introduced, and 17 years after that, sucralose (Splenda) gained the approval of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). No other sugar substitute has ever come close to the popularity of the Big Three. But now, a number of natural sweeteners may give those familiar packets… Continue

A General Idea on Passports for children

In accordance with current changes in the passport law, every child needs a passport of their own in order to travel abroad to any country outside the United Sates. Even for travel to Canada, minors will need a Canadian passport application child.

Special forms are there and every child must come into view in person to apply, together with both parents. Then parents have to submit photocopies of documents in specific government-approved forms (i.e. on 8 ½ by 11 white paper—“The 8 1/2 x 11"… Continue
