Fun and Easy Garden Projects

Posted: 30 May 2013 10:00 AM PDT

This post brought to you by Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine.

Most people regard garden as one of their comfort zones and this is true because it’s where they can feel refreshed and relaxed.  The atmosphere we see in a garden give us tranquility that sets our peaceful mood whenever we set our foot on it.  As calming as it is some people find it hard to maintain a garden let alone plant some herbs or flowering plants on it.  Others who do not have enough time to spend gardening hire a gardener or landscaping contractor to beautify and maintain the beauty of their garden.
 
Well it shouldn’t be so much of a problem when you find some helpful advice to guide you through your gardening chores or when you find a company that will provide materials to make your plants and flowers grow abundantly.   With the help of Miracle Gro it’s such an easy thing to start fun garden projects with my family.  I would love to start growing beautiful flowers on one side of the garden and on the backyard I’ll start planting some herbs and vegetables.  
 

Doing so I’ll be able to grow and harvest my own vegetables free from pesticides and other harmful elements.
  I know Miracle-Gro’s ready-to-plant seed pods, liquafeed and all purpose plant food will help materialize my garden projects and guide me through the steps to a bountiful and green garden that I’ve been dreaming of.  The Miracle Gro product is good for planting or feeding.  The Shake n' Feed moisture control and all purpose plant food and moisture potting mix can be used in indoor container while the Liquafeed all purpose plant food advance starter kit is good for in-ground planting.

Requirements for a new tattoo business

Posted: 28 May 2013 07:50 PM PDT

Tatto2

Due to the high demand of tattoos, many people are opting to get into this business. There are various things that you need in order to start you business. You need to invest in a quality tattoo kit that has various items that you need in your business. The basic items needed include tattoo guns, tattoo needles, power supply, and various inks among other things. It is very important that you ensure that you have invested in quality products in order to get good results. It is important that you make a list of all the items you need and then do a research on the best suppliers as well as good quality items. By buying a tattoo kit from a reputable supplier will ensure that you buy one that is of good quality and hence not compromise on the tattoos that you make. The internet is one of the best places from where you can begin your search. The other point that you should consider is buying the items you need in bulk instead of buying one at a time. This will ensure that you do not run out of stock, you will not have hold ups in your business and it is also cheaper because you easily get discounts when you buy things in large quantities. The other consideration that is very important is the cleanliness of your parlor. In the tattoo kit that you buy ensure that it has sterilizing materials since it is possible to find some suppliers who do not sell it. Your kit should also have two tattoo guns, in order for you to use one for outlining the design and the other one can be used to shade. This way you do not need to keep switching needles all the time. You can find a quality tattoo kit from www.thelashop.com among other tattoo products.

Benefits of Using Organic Products to Make your Skin Smooth and Glowing

Posted: 28 May 2013 06:00 PM PDT

This post brought to you by Tree Hut. All opinions are 100% mine.

Skin is the largest part of our body and as such it should be given preferential attention if you want to have a clean and glowing skin.  Everyone wants beautiful skin especially women but sometimes caring for our skin is not enough to achieve our desire to maintain its youthful appearance.  

 
Every day we encounter dirt, dust and other elements that harm our skin so we should know how to combat these things to prevent the development of dead cells. We thought that regular cleaning, toning and moisturizing of skin is enough to make it beautiful but sometimes we need to exfoliate it to have a healthy skin.   Regular Exfoliation helps in removing not just dead cells but other harmful buildups that will make it look dry and rough.

 
Then you start the proper maintenance of your skin using the right products like the Tree Hut Hand & Foot Care products specifically made to keep your hands and feet not just healthy but smooth as well.  Their creams are all certified organic for your utmost protection and benefits. For those whose job is always on the go and you need some pampering of your feet you should try Tree Hut foot cream with skin repairing and moisturizing properties of argon and rose hip oil that will keep it young and elastic.
 
Well everyone needs a foot scrub every now and then and with their organic shea butter foot scrub you’re confident that your tired feet will be exfoliated and moisturized to keep it from looking old.  What I want to try is Tree Hut’s organic hand cream with aloe vera and peppermint oil to keep it smooth no matter how tired I am from operating the computer. I should protect my hands dearly as I need it not just for my work but for taking care of my family. With Tree Hut certified organic products I know I’m in safe hands and whatever I choose to use it will surely make my skin smooth, soft and young as ever.

Bring touches of spring into the bedroom

Posted: 23 May 2013 03:40 AM PDT

Spring is a famous time for cleaning, but it's also a great time to freshen up the inside of your house. You may not have the time or budget for wholesale interior remodeling, but there's a lot you can do by livening up your interior decorating. After a cold and gray winter, spring is a time for renewal and growth, so it's great if your decorating suggests these themes. The bedroom is a particularly good place for making your décor more spring-y. It's easy to change many elements of the décor in your bedroom and it will brighten your mood every day.

image

Beds: The bed is usually the focal point of any room, so your spring makeover should start here. First, you should replace heavy winter bedding with lighter bedding for a warmer season. Replace the comforter with a quilt or light bedspread and take out those flannel sheets in favor of light cotton sheets. Next, you can choose bedding whose colors and patterns evoke spring.

image

New Colors and Patterns: Floral or botanical patterns for the sheets suggest a season of new growth and renewal. If you aren't crazy about these types of patterns, think about focusing on spring-y colors that suggest freshness and the outdoors – sky blue, bright yellow, yellow-green, and even pink. Don't be afraid of bright colors; this is the season for it! Or, you can pick more muted pastel shades of your favorite colors. If you're decorating a child's or baby's bedroom, pastel colors will fit right in. Geometric patterns are very fashionable right now, so if you like the geometric look, you can select bedding with spring-like colors to help give the flavor of the season.

Accents: If you don't have the budget or the time to purchase new sheets, you can still suggest a spring theme with some accent pillows in springy pastel colors or with patterns that suggest flowers, animals, and plants. It's also simple to add a throw rug in spring themed patterns or colors. If you're adding furniture – even just a chair or end table – consider wrought iron or wicker furniture that suggests outdoor living. Another idea is hanging pictures of flowers or botanical prints on the wall.

Curtains: Don't forget the window treatments. The outside is bursting with new life and a riot of colors from the flowers and new spring greenery. Hanging new curtains will help frame this glorious view. The curtains should be in spring-y colors that echo your new bedding, or consider sheer curtains that allow the mellow spring sunlight to flood the room.

Scents: Now is the time to replace your potpourri or scented candles. The rich smells of pine, cranberry, and pumpkin that were suitable for fall and winter need to give way to fresher, lighter scents that suggest spring. Look for floral scents like freesia, lilac, or lily that call spring to mind. Pick candles and air fresheners with scents that are subtle rather than overwhelming and energizing rather than calming.

Bringing Nature In: Nothing suggests spring more than flowers. You can add fresh flowers to your bedroom – or even a whole branch of flowering cherry blossoms, lilac, or forsythia – on a regular basis or display high-quality silk flowers. Crocuses, daffodils, and tulips are all early-blooming flowers that suggest spring. But your greenery doesn't need to be limited to flowers. You can install plants in pots or hanging baskets in the bedroom to remind you of what Mother Nature is doing outside.

Disneyland Park Adventure | Disneyland Theme Parks

Posted: 26 Apr 2013 10:05 PM PDT

 

It had been about 30 years since I had been to the Magic Kingdom, when the time had come to return with my own children. I imagine there have been some changes over the years; but all of my "favorite" rides were still there: the Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, and last but not least, the Pirates of the Caribbean.

The Thunder Mountain Railroad happened to be closed on this particular day; but the others were up and running. Therefore, I was able to introduce my oldest, at 8, to the roller coasters. She loved it and didn’t even flinch.

We spent about 8 hours at the park, and the staff was helpful and friendly as usual. I was also impressed by the use of CNG fuel in the trams, as this is one of the cleanest combustion fuels.

Disneyland is one of those great American icons, and every American child should get to experience it at least once in their life. I think this was my third time. I plan to take the family there again as the kids get a little older, and hopefully I will someday return with my grandchildren.

For ticket information, feel free to visit their website at http://disneyland.disney.go.com/tickets/
