-- Product Review --  Properly inflated tires save money, improve handling, extend tire life, reduce fuel consumption, and reduce uncomfortable bouncing and vibration from uneven surfaces. According to Verona Chadwick of the Get A Life Sales company: “ Experts recommend checking your vehicle's tire pressure every month to ensure a safe, comfortable ride and maximum fuel efficiency.” In our household that chore is up to my husband Dave who’s taken the responsibility to check our wheelbarrow, bicycles, RV trailer and Jeep tires, among others around the house from the lawnmower to various wheeled tools and gates. It isn’t that I am unwilling to do the chore, it is just such a difficult thing to do. You have to balance your body in awkward positions, try to read the pressure gauges that tend to be dirty or foggy, and depending on the weather or time of day, this can be a very difficult chore indeed.  Not all pressure gauges are easy to use as well, trying ...

Visit http://business-soulwork.com/blog Find Ling and grab her free "How to Find YOUR Winning Formula" Training Series at http://business-soulwork.com/ywf-free/ -- Marketing Matters -- A coaching client was nearing the end of her intensive program. We were at the stage to design a marketing plan for the next 6 months so she can cut the busywork and do what truly matters. She is an experienced coach using a particular method. However, she has been "selling" the method in a very generalized manner without much focus. As a result, she had only been doing some workshops here and there for anyone and everyone who walked into the door, and never been able to funnel many of the participants into private clients and...

-- Product Review --  I just love reviewing products made right here in Canada! Up to the last year I’ve never tried facial serums before, however I’ve since tried 4-5 brands out and have become a fan of what it can do for skin. Today I’m reviewing a certified organic 20% Vitamin C Serum via All Natural Advice ( AllNaturalAdvice.com ) company who specializes in organic beauty products made in Canada. When I was first contacted in the first week of July by the president of the company, Stephen James, I was immediately impressed with the obvious pride he has in their company, the professional communications and the quality of their products. Stephen took the time to express his appreciation for our environmentally friendly blog – which was a very nice thing to do – and is something their company is quite passionate about. Stephen says: “ As a company we chose to go organic. For example, our Vitamin C Serum used to be 70% organic as it was much thicker. We tha...

  -- Quote of the Day --   "Do something about your life now. You know you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Don't just think about it, look at it, and complain about it to whoe ver will listen. Stop conning yourself into being a volunteer victim, or telling the same old story. You are better than that. It's time to stand up for yourself and your dream. This is the one and only life that you have. Don't waste it watching someone's life - on tv, in a movie, a series or reality show. Take your power back and make a move. Live your life on your terms, and create something new in your life. You Deserve!" ~ Les Brown 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/ 110...

An advocate for utilizing local resources and traditional skills, she makes her impressive installations out of high quality wool from her own flock of Drenthe Heath Sheep. The Dutch artist uses the beauty of such a natural material to create a softer, more human atmosphere in public spaces. Jongstra studied fashion in Utrecht, Netherlands before becoming fascinated by a Mongolian yurt on display in Nederlands Textielmuseum. She found the colors and textures of the felt interesting, and started to make fabrics combining wool and silk. Since then, she has continuously experimented with different felting techniques, satisfied wi...

-- Product Review --  Drinking anything outdoors can be a messy problem; glasses tipping over and their expensive contents oozing into the ground attracting wasps and ants and all kinds of unwanted visitors to your outdoor adventure. When camping – this can be an exceptional problem because strong scents (like alcohol) can attract bear, skunk and other large creatures to the campsite affecting your stay or the people who camp there after you. Wine, especially, can be hazardous in that the containers are awkward and fragile; they can easily shatter leaving broken glass (or plastic) with small, dangerous shards for unwary feet, hands or knees (and wildlife). Also, as we know from grade-school science, glass can reflect the sun so intensely that it can start fires. 2015 has been a horrible year for fires and people should be even more conscious of this during their outdoor adventures. Personally, every time we go outdoors we are looking for litter, especially gl...
