February 8, 2022 by Leave a Comment

If you are like us, you may have put on a few pounds during the past year and a half. Covid did a lot of damage to many people’s health, waistlines included. Now that we are starting to move toward normalcy, it might be a good time to start to get your body back. After all, the better you look, the better you feel- and the better you feel, the better you will look. It’s a win-win. You know how active we are here, and we are looking forward to getting back to ourselves as much as anyone.

Here are some items that can help you get back on track!

fitness

Whirly Board – Balance Board
Whirly Board is the most versatile gift to give your favorite fitness lover (or get one for yourself). Use it at home or while working out, it’s perfect for board sports training or yoga. Keep moving for better overall health! It has 500+ positive reviews on Amazon, so a lot of people are having fun with this one. My husband in particular likes it.  Add a little fitness, agility, and fun to your routine with Whirly Board. The Whirly Board allows you to spin 360˚ and engage all your body’s core muscles, so it is an excellent training tool for any skill level (even kids). It’s a fun addition for your home or gym. Whirly Board is a great option for core training and home fitness without the need for bulky gym equipment that takes up tons of space. An indoor training tool, it improves strength, balance, and agility. Practice spin and tricks and take your twirl to a whole new level.
hot cold bottle
Price: $29.95
This is one heavy bottle, let me tell you! Use it as a weapon if you’re ever backed into a corner, haha. Keep your fitness enthusiast hydrated through whatever they do with The BOULDER. The BOULDER vacuum insulated water bottle is the flagship bottle of EcoVessel that will keep your drinks hot or cold all day long. Made from premium 18/8 stainless steel, it features the signature TriMax® triple insulation and keeps drinks cold up to 60 hours and hot up to 12 hours. The BOULDER stainless steel water bottle also includes a removable strainer for tea, fruit, and ice cubes, which is pretty handy for tea drinkers (or those of us with sensitive teeth- no more ice cube smacking you in the mouth). Available on Amazon
phone charger
Also sold on BestBuy
My husband has loves this, and it was great to have around during the recent storm. We lost power for 20 hours, and it held a charge super well. We’ve also taken it out hiking, and John goes long distance running on weekends- it’s never had an issue with the rain or snow or any other weather, and he’s definitely dropped it more than once. No problems as of writing this.
For the past five years, Poseidon has built a reputation for being the best portable charger on the market. Introducing the new Poseidon Pro by Dark Energy, an upgraded portable charging system that is fully waterproof (IP68), drop-proof, and crushproof, and is certified to military standard MIL-STD 810G. Recently upgraded to add more advanced tech enhancements, you can’t go wrong with this handy device by your side and never be stranded without power again (even in the extreme cold).
ice pack
Price: $34.95
I’ve got to say, this was hard to wear on your wrist. It was bulky and made it hard to move your hands, as well as didn’t keep the ice/gel pack on the wrist well. Not on my hand, nor on my husband’s. However, when you take the gel pack and put it in your bra- it’s the perfect size, and was instantly cooling. I’m not joking, it was great, and it fit great on the pressure point between your breasts. Guys….well, can’t help you on that one, not sure how you’d keep it there. It also worked if you put the gel pack on your wraparound headband if you have one, right at the back at the point where your neck meets your head. Temples, too. The ice gel packs were the perfect size for so many spots that cooled your down- However, this is off topic.
As for the cuff, here is the info via the company- it is available on Amazon, and a Veteran-Owned Business, made in the USA.
The Cooling Cuff is solely focused on helping your body cool down properly. Wear it on your wrist for the optimal place to cool down during or after a workout. Cooling the body at the wrist can alter thermoregulation, rapidly lower core body temperature and quickly restore temperature homeostasis. That means athletes can train longer, run faster and recover quicker without their bodies using all their energy to cool down.
U-Konserve
Price: $21.95
Sold on Target ($19.99)
These are super useful. Easy to clean, store, and durable, you will find a million reasons to use them. As with a traditional bento box, these divided to-go containers from U-Konserve are easy to separate food and great for portion control. Perfect waste-free solution for daily lunches, takeout, picnics, travel, outdoor adventures, bulk shopping and salad bars. Pack snacks, lunches and main meals while reducing single-use packaging. These square containers are also ideal for kitchen organization, pantry makeovers, meal prep and family leftovers. I also use them for my friend’s daughter when she comes over to eat, who doesn’t like her food to touch. The barrier in the middle keeps them separate, and that keeps us all sane, LOL.
packable luggage
Super useful, and the price is right at $23. Ever been on a trip, and you accidentally buy too many souvenirs? or when you try to repack your bag with the dirty laundry, it just doesn’t fit properly? This will be a lifesaver, I literally do not travel without one anymore- you just never know when you will need it! This bag (an in my past, bags like it) take up no room really in your luggage, but are big on value when you find yourself up a creek, LOL.
Of course, you can just use it as a normal duffle bag in the meantime.
Whether it be a trip to the gym or an outdoor adventure, the 22 L Nomad Packable Duffel allows you to take what you need and more- it’s very roomy. Constructed from durable reinforced nylon, it stuffs into its own pocket so you can travel with it easily. When it’s time to stash it, turn the interior pocket inside out. Then stuff the entire duffel into the pocket, and zip it closed. (It’s as shockingly easy as it sounds, really.)

Top Tips For Aspiring Bloggers

February 8, 2022 by Leave a Comment

new blogging tips

There are many benefits associated with launching your own blog. For example, it gives you the chance to cultivate an online community, share your opinions with others, save money, and it can even be a great way to travel and still advance your career. However, the growing popularity of blogs means that competition is fierce from the get-go – meaning you have to find a way to stand out if you want to build a readership and succeed.

With that in mind, here are some top tips for aspiring bloggers.

Brush up on your writing skills.

The first step to running a successful blog is learning how to write the perfect blog post. This means far more than finding a suitable topic to discuss – you’ve also got to think about the tone and style of your writing and the audience you are writing for. Then, you’ve got to think about spelling and grammar too! 

Get technical.

If you really want your blog to succeed, then you’re also going to need to brush up on your technical knowledge, too. For example, if you’re going to be using certain software, such as Photoshop, to curate content for your blogs then you’ll need a bit of program-specific know-how. For example, Photoshop often takes up a great deal of virtual memory – which is often taken from your ‘scratch disk’ (SSD or disk drive). When an error occurs here, it’s important that you know simple ways to solve it so that you do not lose any critical data or spend hours pouring over a problem that has a simple solution. 

Choose a niche.

As mentioned previously, the world of blogging is one of fierce competition – which means you must build a readership sooner rather than later. After all, if you’re going to be putting a lot of time and effort into writing your blog, then it deserves to be read and enjoyed. One way in which you can achieve this goal (and build a readership) is by choosing a specific niche for your blog. For example, if you spend a lot of time vacationing you could write a travel blog. This way, you’ll be able to carve out a name for yourself within a certain community or industry – making it easier for others to find you. 

Post consistently.

The key to succeeding on any online venture – whether that be blogging or posting Instagram picks is consistency. After all, if you do not post on a regular basis then readers will lose interest, or may even forget about your content entirely. However, on the other end of the spectrum, you should also avoid oversaturation and do not post too much – as this could again turn readers away. While posting every single day may seem like a good idea to begin with, it likely demonstrates that you aren’t putting a great deal of time, energy or thought into the content you produce. As a result, you should aim to post on your blog a few times a week – on the same day or time. This way, readers know when to check in! 

Collaborate with other bloggers.

Another easy way to extend your readership (and even make new friends) is by collaborating with other bloggers. Keep an eye out for bloggers you admire or whose content is similar to your own and reach out to see if they will be willing to collaborate on a project. For example, you could write a guest post on their page. This will increase the amount of exposure both your writing and your blog gets and is often a mutually beneficial endeavor. 

Learn about SEO. 

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) practices are a great way to drive traffic towards your blog and increase your visibility. While this may sound a little confusing – don’t worry – it is much more straightforward than you think. SEO simply refers to a series of keywords and phrases that you can use that will increase your blog’s online ranking. When applied correctly, they will place your page at the top of Google (and similar platforms) searches as opposed to your competitors. There are plenty of SEO tips and tricks that bloggers can use – such as using free software to identify the keywords you need to be using in the first place.  Ideally, you should determine which keywords or phrases you are going to use before you start writing the blog so that you can ensure they are incorporated organically – otherwise it may feel as though they were ‘forced’ into the text and disrupt the flow.

How To Keep Your Kids Entertained This Winter Break

February 8, 2022 by Leave a Comment

entertaining kids

When you have kids you sometimes feel as though you run out of fun ideas on things you can do collectively as a family. But fear not, if you are feeling a little uninspired, here are some great suggestions on what you can do to spend some much needed time with your kids when they have winter break this year.

Have Family Meal Time 

If you are not in the habit of having a sit down meal together for dinner then why not cook a lovely simple family favorite that everyone enjoys. This will get the family sitting down together at the dinner table which will enable you to have a good old chat as well as enjoy the food. Also when it’s not a school night you will be able to have more of a leisurely meal and not be preoccupied with getting them to stick to their evening schedule. 

Watch a Movie Together 

Everyone is bound to have a different taste regarding their favorite movie, but why not have a cozy night in with the kids and sit down with some popcorn, snacks and a film that you all agree on watching. It could either be a classic film that everyone loves or a new movie. With lots of streaming channels to choose from and also any dvds you may have, you shouldn’t be short of options. 

Play Board Games 

It’s fun to get together and play a board game and is a great way to encourage everyone to spend time together as a family. You could opt for games that use creativity, general knowledge, artistic skills or concentration. It’s also good for encouraging teamwork and communication skills, so it can also be a positive way for children to improve their everyday skills as well as spend time with you. 

Bake Some Goodies 

There is nothing more rewarding than making your own baked goods or treats. It is also slightly healthier for everyone as you will know exactly what ingredients will be going into the recipe. You could have a baking day with the kids and create lots of yummy recipes for everyone to enjoy. It’s also a fun way to spend time with your kids. 

Get Creative 

It’s good to encourage your kids to be creative, so from a young age you could do group activities such as painting, drawing and crafting. It will inspire your kids to be more creative and expand their skill sets. It will then be a nice tradition to be able to spend a few hours each week getting together and being creative. You could then make some nice wall art to hang in the home or create an ornament to put on display. The great thing is there is no age limit to being creative so it will work with both younger kids and older ones. 

Do Some DIY  

You might be wanting to get stuck into some DIY in the house and renovate one of your rooms. Get the kids involved as well as they may enjoy getting stuck in with painting and assembling furniture together. If they can have an opinion on the design and color of the room they may be more willing to get involved with helping. Also it is very useful to be able to learn how to do some DIY jobs at home so this will be beneficial to your kids as well as being enjoyable. 

Go Camping 

Spending a few days away from the hustle and bustle of city life can be quite refreshing. It allows your kids to be away from their cellphones for five minutes. You could go on a camping trip to a lovely scenic environment, and appreciate going back to basics with sleeping and eating arrangements. It will give your kids the opportunity to learn some useful skills on how to light a campfire and appreciate nature’s surroundings. 

Compete Against Each Other With Virtual Games 

There is a lot more variety now when it comes to drones, that you can even experience virtual reality games on them, such as with the DJI FPV model. You could compete against each other in a virtual race and see who comes out on top. It would be a fun way to spend time at home when perhaps the weather is not ideal to go outdoors and will certainly keep them occupied for a while. 

Create Your Own Book Club 

To encourage your kids to read from a young age and be inspired to pick up a book for pleasure, you could create your own book club at home. Each week you could sit down to discuss what you are reading and what you like the look of to read next. It will allow your kids to become interested in reading and help them to use their analytical skills as well. The more they see you read as an adult the more likely they are to become interested in reading which is a great skill to have. 

Dig Out The Old Family Photos 

A good bonding experience will be to get out the old family photos that are packed away in the attic and go through some family memories with your kids. They will get to learn about you when you were younger and also about any relatives that are no longer around. It will also be a novelty for them to see actual photos as they will be used to seeing images on a cellphone screen. You could then put together some photo albums with your kids which will be a nice activity to do together. 

Do a Road Trip 

 

You could get in your car or in a campervan and explore another area you haven’t been to for a few days. The adventure of the unknown can be quite exciting when you explore scenic places as it allows you to take your children to new places and keeps the journey more interesting when you don’t know exactly what will be next. 

Get Gardening 

If you have a garden you can spruce up the backyard by getting your kids involved. They could help you plant some nice new flowers and seasonal vegetables. Getting them to help you grow some veg could get them interested in gardening and being responsible for taking care of the plants. It will provide them with a sense of responsibility as well as keep them occupied for a bit maintaining the plants each day. 

Play a Sport Together 

If you want to encourage your kids to be more active and get outdoors then learning a new sport with them is a good way to achieve this. It will enable them to get outdoors and do some exercise which will certainly be beneficial to their health as well as learning a new sports skill. 

Overall you do not need to feel stressed if you are lacking ideas on what to do with your kids. Most of the time it is the simple ideas that will be the most effective and enjoyable. You don’t need to just focus on spending money on going on expensive vacations. The most important thing is that you are spending time with your children as you want to appreciate the time you have with them before they grow up and move out.

What Is Sd Alcohol 40-b?

February 4, 2022 by Leave a Comment

The term ‘sd alcohol’ means specially denatured alcohol. On the other hand, ‘denatured alcohol’ means ethanol that has been adultered with toxic substances, otherwise known as denaturants, to make it unfit for human consumption. Various denaturants are added to ethanol to discourage people from drinking it. The most common denaturants include methane, pyridine, denatonium, and tert-butyl alcohol.

Ethanol is also denatured to exempt it from beverage alcohol taxation. The US Bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms uses numbers to name denatured alcohol according to the denaturing method. Thus, sd alcohol 40-b means ethanol denatured with tert-butyl alcohol and denatonium benzoate.

Uses of Sd Alcohol 40-b

Sd alcohol 40-b is used in the cosmetic industry due to its antimicrobial, antifoaming, and astringent properties.

As an Astringent

An astringent is applied to the skin to tighten the pores. Thus, sd alcohol 40-b is used in cosmetic and beauty products because of its astringent properties. Keratin is one of the proteins that make your skin. It contains salt bonds that are sensitive to temperature changes. Thus, higher temperatures break the salt bonds, causing the skin to swell.

Cosmetic products containing sd alcohol 40-b cool the skin and reform the salt bonds. They also improve blood circulation and open up clogged pores. As a result, these products improve the skin tone resulting in more beautiful skin. Sd alcohol 40-b is mainly used in acne-prone and oily skin products because it prevents excessive skin oiliness by unclogging the pores.

Antimicrobial Properties

You will find sd alcohol 40-b in soaps, sanitizers, and lotions labeled ‘antimicrobial’ because of its potency against bacteria and fungi. Specially denatured alcohol kills bacteria and other microorganisms by breaking down the proteins in their cell structures. Thus, it/s used to formulate antimicrobial shampoos and soaps for certain cosmetic use.

As a Solvent

Sd alcohol 40-b dissolves other compounds. Thus, it’s used as a solvent in various industries. Sd alcohol 40-b is incorporated in cosmetic preparations to shrink their volume by thinning them out. Thus, it helps improve absorption of these products through the skin and improve overall product performance.

As an Antifoaming Agent

Sd alcohol is popular in the cosmetic industry because of its antifoaming properties. It prevents foam formation, thus improving the production process by increasing the machine capacity. In addition, they make product packaging easier and improve overall product performance.

Is Sd Alcohol 40-b Safe on Skin?

Controversy surrounds the safety of sd alcohol 40-b. Thus, the cosmetic ingredients review panel (CIR) reviewed the available data to determine its safety. According to the review, cosmetic products containing sd alcohol 40-b did not cause photoallergy or sensitivity to the skin. In addition, the review concluded that topical application of sd alcohol 40-b did not cause plasma concentrations.

In the same review, an irritation test on sd alcohol 40-b did not cause any effects. Thus, the review concluded that it does not affect the integrity of the skin barrier or cause systemic concentration when applied to the skin.

Although the CIR considers sd alcohol 40- b safe for use on the skin, high concentration in cosmetic products may cause excessive skin dryness and irritation. In addition, long-term use can disrupt the natural skin barrier, causing abnormal water loss. Thus, always check the levels of sd alcohol 40-b in cosmetics before using them.

Products containing sd alcohol 40-b are unsuitable for dry skin, eczema, sensitive skin, and allergies. In addition, long-term and consistent use may break the skin and expose the skin to inflammation. Thus, avoid products containing sd alcohol 40-b if your skin barrier is broken because it may cause irritation and burning.

Conclusion

Specially denatured (sd) alcohol has various uses in the cosmetic industry. It is adultered with tert-butyl alcohol or denatonium benzoate. Sd alcohol 40-b Is mainly popular due to its antifoaming properties. In addition, it has astringent and antimicrobial properties making it popular among beauty soaps, shampoos, and lotions. The cosmetic ingredients review panel considers sd alcohol 40-b safe for use on human skin. However, it’s only suitable for oily and acne-prone skin and unsuitable for dry and allergic skin. In addition, long-term and consistent use may break the skin barrier resulting in irritation and skin burns.

Fresh Content: 3 Ways To Make Sure Business Premises Are Always Comfortable For Customers

February 2, 2022 by Leave a Comment

customer service

Keeping customers comfortable is important for any business. Whether you are reassuring them that their money is safe with an online purchase or that they are secure when they are on your premises, it’s crucial to ensure that customers are happy when they are with you. This is especially important for companies that have buildings that customers access, like stores and showrooms. But how exactly are you supposed to make them feel comfortable in places like this?

Cleaning

Cleaning is a priority in any building that customers visit. Being surrounded by dust and other muck will leave anyone feeling uncomfortable, especially if they have to spend a good amount of time there. Options like environmentally safe commercial carpet cleaning services make it incredibly easy to keep your space clean. This is great for any business with a lot of foot traffic on floors that can be a challenge to clean, but you can find similar services for other aspects of your business.

Warmth & Air

Keeping customers warm is another crucial element of a business like this, but you have to be careful not to make your building feel stuffy or unpleasant. Airflow is important here, as this will help to keep air fresh while also moving heat around the building. Considering the idea of installing air conditioning systems to make sure that the whole building has access to fresh and warm air is a good approach to take.

Comfortable Furnishings

Keeping your building comfortable is as much about furniture as it is about anything else. You need to make sure that customers have access to chairs that will make them feel good, along with tables and other comfortable furniture where it is appropriate. There are loads of companies out there that specialise in producing furniture for businesses, giving you everything you need to get started with this without having to rely on low-quality home furniture for the job.

Light

Many people fail to consider light when they’re trying to make a space comfortable. Bright lights can be overwhelming, and dull lights can make it hard to see, making both options bad for a business. You need to find a comfortable middle ground that makes it easy for customers to see products without having to squint or close their eyes. Using white decor can help with this, as it will make the light you use go further.

With all of this in mind, you should be feeling confident in the steps you need to take to make your business comfortable for your customers. This process can be a challenge, but it will be well worth the effort, giving you the chance to get more out of your customers. Of course, though, this process will always take a small amount of investment.

3 Tips on Having a Longer, Healthier Life

February 2, 2022 by 1 Comment

long, healthy life

Self-care, particularly in later age, may be extremely difficult, even for the healthiest among us. As we age, the range of motion in our joints decreases, and as a result, we begin to notice changes on and within our bodies that we never noticed previously. In this post, you will learn about the most prevalent difficulties that we encounter later in life, as well as how to fix or alleviate them when they arise.

It is inevitable that we could experience humiliating ailments at some time in our lives, but they will not go away unless we seek medical attention. Your doctor has probably seen a lot of people with the same thing you’re having trouble with, so go see him or her and get checked out.

Joint discomfort

Joint discomfort affects a large percentage of the population. Obesity, as well as excessive or insufficient usage of that joint over time, are contributing factors to the discomfort. Fortunately, most joint pain issues may be resolved by taking pain relief medication to alleviate the discomfort. If medicine isn’t your thing, there are alternative options, such as physiotherapy or low-impact workouts like yoga and gentle walking. You can also use tape to support your joints. You can read more here if you’re wondering “What does kinesiology tape do”? Even though walking hurts, it’s important to do it since it will help your joints over time. Exercise, of course, can help you lose weight, which will in turn alleviate any joint discomfort you may be experiencing. Check with your doctor for any other underlying health concerns if these solutions don’t work out for you.

Bunions

A bunion is an abnormally large lump on the big toe joint. Bunions may make walking or even putting on shoes difficult. Bunions aren’t only caused by the sort of shoes you wear, although they can contribute to their advancement. Keep an eye on your feet for signs of arthritis and flat feet, which can lead to bunions.

It is common for bunions to develop over time and become more severe. If you suspect you have one, make an appointment with your regular doctor so that you can be sent to a podiatrist for evaluation. If this is the case, you may either have bunion surgery or treat them at home with ice packs and supportive straps.

Skin conditions

As we grow older, our skin begins to show signs of ageing. Regardless of how many cosmetics we use to attempt to keep our skin youthful, the inevitable will happen. Skin suppleness will diminish and wrinkles will emerge. Your skin’s texture and elasticity will improve if you drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Ask your pharmacist about the best products to use to keep your skin healthy.

Remember to take good care of your body by eating the correct meals, getting plenty of sleep, limiting your alcohol use, and increasing your physical activity. This will maximize your chances of avoiding health complications. Keep your mind and body in good shape as you age.
