 -- Product Review -- We received this wonderful opportunity to review Smartsmile’s Professional Teeth Whitening Kit around June 24 th - it did not get in our hands until after July 4 th via a postal service outlet that we use a couple miles on the US side of the border (we’re located in Canada), which happened to be when we were crossing the border again, but the shipping order stated it was estimated to arrive before July 6 th – so the shipping time was pretty impressive.  The product was shipped in a white plastic bubble envelope – via USPS first class mail; and the product itself was encased in a stiff clear plastic envelope that folds down nicely for recycling. The instructions are printed on paper that you can see through the envelope, which is easily removed for recycling purposes. The kit comes with a tooth shade guide so you can determine what shade your teeth are at prior to and after application of the prod...

* Today we have the honor of featuring some very helpful lifeskills and business building skill tips from Donna J Thomas. The article was a bit longer than we normally publish so I have split it into two sections. Today is part 1... I'll publish the second half on August 9th .  Can You Hear Me Now? 6 Ways to Listen to Clients The primary purpose of any business is to make money. In fact, the definition of business is "exchanging goods or services for money." In most cases, revenue depends on customers or clients. The foundation for your successful enduring business is a long-term two-way relationship with your clients.  To foster this crucial relationship, you need to do only 2 things: (1) Listen for your clients' problem. What is their biggest need, pain or challenge that relates to your work? (2) Solve their problem. Respond to their need and help them do, be, get or keep it. Whether you attune to your cli...

-- Product Review --    Like me, you’ve probably heard of frankincense oil but have never had any experience with it. I was totally in the dark about the oil when this review project came across my desk and as such I really appreciated the mini 9-page e-book that comes with each order of Radha’s Frankincense Oil .  I did a review of the company’ s tea tree oi l product earlier this year and was al very impressed with the company. We picked the package up on July 4 th via postal service a couple miles on the US side of the border (we’re located in Canada), which happened to be when we were crossing the border again, but the shipping order stated it was estimated to arrive by July 2nd. Amazon chose a much larger box than necessary (3.5” tall X 10” long X 7” wide) for this product, and they had to use 6 air cell packages to fill the box up enough to protect the product. Radha’s product comes in a 4 fl. oz. (120 ml) blue glass ...

-- Quote of the Day --    Beatrix Potter once spoke of her experience in nature:  “the music sweetest moral ears can hear, the murmuring of the wind through the fir trees.”  She also said:     ‘Thank goodness, my education was neglected. I was never sent to school…it would have rubbed off some of the originality.” Award-winning authors Dave and Lillian Brummet: http://www.twitter.com/brummet http://www.facebook.com/ lillian.brummet   http://www.linkedin.com/in/ ldbrummet http://www. consciousdiscussions.blogspot. com https://plus.google.com/u/0/ 110939008901230737529

This is an activity for mind, which helps to keep body and soul in harmony. If to look at someone in the process of meditation, it might seem to be easy – just sitting there in the lotus position, with your eyes being closed, doing nothing. Simple as that. The only difference is that it seems easy physically because you are static but your mind works. What is important is to be able to concentrate especially meditating somewhere on the fresh air. Being outside, different noises always...

-- Product Review --  * Look for a coupon code listed near the end of this review! This product review process happened very quickly, Sadia customer support manager for Zufy , connected with me around June 23 rd regarding the Zufy Car Phone Holde r and the order was processed on June 24.  Dave (my husband) picked it up on July 4 th via postal service a couple miles on the US side of the border (we’re located in Canada), which happened to be when we were crossing the border again, but the shipping order stated it was estimated to arrive before June 29th, and Amazon is pretty good about being accurate about that. Amazon shipped it in a cardboard box (10” long X 7” wide X 5.5” tall) with 5 Sealed Air brand (flm.fillair.com) inflatable packaging cells; which not only protects the product but also weighs less – so there is less cost in shipping and simply poking the packets and letting the air out will deflate the individual cells.
