Storage Solutions for the Bedroom

Bedrooms are where we escape to for sleeping and relaxing, but sometimes, they can become storage rooms when we dont know where to put things. Clothes pile up on furniture and it becomes difficult to find what we are looking for.

Here are some creative ideas to make the most of the space you have.

Closets:

Maximize closet space by installing a closet organizing system. A custom designed closet can add so much storage space, but can be expensive. Less costly options are available at many department stores, such as Target. Mix and Match closet storage units are sold separately and reasonably priced. Take stock of what you need to store and decide which pieces you will need to purchase.

Use clear storage boxes to store childrens clothing according to size and age. Store it in the closet for future use or to prepare to donate or sell. They can easily be stacked and keep the clothing dust free and protected. In these boxes, they can even be stored in the basement if closet space is limited and they wont be ruined by dampness.

Use a hamper in the closet to collect clothing as children grow out of it, when its full, pack it up into a storage box.

Under the Bed:

Another option, flat plastic storage boxes made especially for under the bed are perfect for seasonal clothing when not in use or other things you dont need often, but cant bring yourself to toss. Vacuum-packed storage bags are also easily stored under a bed.

Hanging:

Hang hooks in the closet for robes and pjs for quick and easy access. A wall mounted tie rack makes grabbing a tie in the morning a breeze. Hang your purses as well. Use a hanging show rack on the back of the closet door for shoes, or slippers or other items, belts, socks, anything small you dont have to have to search for.

Shelves:

Keep clutter to a minimum by hanging whatever you can, including shelves. Wall mounted shelves for accessories keep clutter off your dressers.

Take a day to organize your bedroom storage and youll create a more serene space. Everything will be easily accessible and more apt to stay organized.

Air-Quality? Water-Quality? A Jaunt to Jamaica

Last week I told you about our trip to Jamaica and this is the end of the story.
If you remember, the purpose of the trip was to attend my life partner's son, Peter's, wedding. He married a wonderful California girl named Danni (short for Danielle). Peter and Danni wanted to get married in a gazebo on the beach in Jamaica. They arrived on Friday because they had a multitude of things to arrange and had to be in Jamaica for three days to establish residency. More about the wedding later.

Anyway, the wedding was scheduled for Wednesday so, to kill time on Tuesday, Peter got our whole group of ten people (counting the kids) together for a catamaran sail down the coast. Have you ever been to Jamaica? If you have, does the phrase "Dunn River Falls" fill your heart with terror. Oh, I'm exaggerating! It's probably not too bad for you younger, more athletically inclined kids. I, however, am a little longer in the tooth and a bit of a klutz to begin with! They start the tour by making you rent what they laughingly call "water shoes" for $5.00 per pair. These are like ballet slippers with grooved rubber soles to help you climb through the water. Most of the shoes I saw must have been used by Columbus when he came ashore. They were old, with smooth bottoms and, with my pair, holes on the ends of both shoes where my big toes stuck out and about three sizes to small. I should have traded my shoes in for a first aid kit.

Well, we started climbing the falls. Yes! Climbing the falls! I don't mean on stairs or an elevator alongside the falls. I mean IN the falls! Yes, you will get wet! In my case, I got soaked. You are trying to climb along from smooth stone to smooth stone, but sometimes you slip. At one point, I even went completely under. Thank the deity that I did not bring my digital camera along! Navigation was not a problem - just keep going UP! At least the water quality was great. Cool! Clean! Fresh! After all, it was kind of fun and the guides were friendly and helpful. However, they don't seem to be able to finish a sentence without the word "Mon". But it's cool, and after a few days you find yourself speaking just like the natives.

Well, here I am at the end and didn't even tell you about the wedding and our trip into town yet. Will have to get to that next week. Hang in there with me, folks, and remember your last trip to Jamaica - or your next!

Five Great Wooden Toys For Toddlers

Toddlers are such loveable little ones. Always filled with adventure and filled with enough energy to make a commercial for the little energizer bunny! It is important to fill these years with educational wooden toys to help with the child's motor skills. Hand/eye color coordination, finger dexterity, and non-sequential stacking capability can all be measured with many wooden toys.

Wooden stacking toys are a wonderful toy for toddlers. Toddlers will enjoy the bright colors and improve the hand/eye coordination with wooden stacking toys. Some of the best wooden stacking toys that I like are the hamburger and sandwich wooden stacking toys. Even some adults enjoy these good old fashioned wooden stacking toys.

Wooden building blocks are an old toy that has been a favorite by many young children. Wooden building blocks help to develop dexterity, problem-solving and reasoning skills, hand/eye coordination, color, shape, size identification and also be lots of fun. Some blocks are all natural and other blocks are different colors.

Wooden push toys are a must have toy for the little energetic toddler. Wooden push and pull toys are helpful for balance and will keep the toddler focused as they are learning to walk. These wooden toys will keep them walking and walking! Little wooden wagons are also a great toy for toddlers. These little wagons help a child learn to walk while pulling something behind and also helps the toddler learn to navigate turns while walking and pulling a toy. Toddlers will enjoy putting all their little "goodies" in a wooden wagon and then proudly walking around pulling their little wooden wagon.

Toddlers love to make noise. One good thing about a toddler is you know where they are when you can hear them, but when it is quiet......you know that it is time to start checking things out! Another old wooden toy that toddlers love is a wooden hammer and peg set. I still have mine that I received for my first birthday. It is now setting on a shelf for display. This little set has wooden dowel rods and a wooden hammer that the child can pound and then turn the game over and start pounding again. The best one that I have seen has a small leather strap which attaches the hammer to the peg set so the hammer does not get separated. My daughter has this set at her daycare center and it is a game that is played with often. It is interesting to watch the eyes of the toddler light up when seeing their accomplishment of pounding the pegs through.

Toddlers love toys, but just having a toy is not enough. Make it an educational, wooden toy and learn to bring out the creativity in your child with a unique, wooden toy!

Dearfoams Women's DF591 Slipper

This microfiber scuff from Dearfoams will make your feet happy on cold mornings. An embroidered floral design and thick padding make it as pretty as it is comfortable. Securely stitched to the soft upper, the flexible sole offers light traction.
Customer Review: Sizing is really bad on these
I have worn Dearfoams scuffs for years, bought in local stores. I did notice that the soles on these appear thicker than on the older ones, and ordered my usual size (8). I could barely squeeze me foot into them width-wise, and when I did, they were also too short. I returned them and ordered the size 9. Well, they are fine in the length but they are still really tight. I'm going to keep them in the hopes they further stretch out, but buyer beware: they seem to be sized really narrow.

Yes, summertime is in full swing. There's one thing that strikes terror in the new mom...the thought of putting on a bathing suit in public! As much as you might like to, you can't stay indoors all summer or hide inside while your family and friends enjoy the sunshine. So here are a few tips to help you make the most of swimsuit season:

1. Choose a bathing suit that is most flattering to your figure. If you just had your baby, this is probably your maternity swimsuit and that's okay. Just tell yourself this is a time of transition and know that you'll be able to get back in your old suit soon. Use a cover up when you're not in the pool. A sarong wrap that ties around your waist and covers up that post-baby belly works great.

2. Don't focus on the way your body looks. You don't have to look like a Victoria Secret model - hardly anyone does! Focus on having fun with your friends and family. Remember that almost every woman in the pool or on the beach feels conscious about her body too.

3. Set a goal for yourself to get back into your pre-baby bathing suit. Why not use that pesky bathing suit as incentive? It may take several months, but make it your goal to put your old bathing suit on next season. Take the angst you feel about your post-baby body and turn it into fresh fuel for working out and eating healthy.

And if you decide to get a new bathing suit:

Don't spend much money on your swimsuit unless you're at your goal weight. You'll only wear that swimsuit a few times, and then it will end up in the giveaway pile when you lose those pounds!

Lastly, I wouldn't advise trying on bathing suits at the store with your husband in the dressing room. I did that once and it was utterly depressing and humiliating!

Okay moms, now you're ready to dive in with confidence!

Customer Review: CAQREFUL - What is show is not what is delivered!
What is shown is not what is delivered. Clogs are actually shown, but what is delivered (with the same part number) are just cheap terry slippers with a plastic bottom, the kind you can get at Target for $6.

Frustrated by the over-commercialization of the holiday season? Overwhelmed by rising costs and dwindling income? Not only do we see people spending money that they cannot afford around the holidays we also see people become nicer, more giving. It is easy to feel annoyed when we see people "into" the spirit of being a nice person for this short period of time only. A lot of talk and a lot of noise along with the pressure to buy, buy, buy - others find the holidays a time of additional stress because they are alone.

Many of us dream of attaining a simpler lifestyle and we can see the demand by all the information posted online and the newsletters on living a more simplistic or sustainable life. Use your favorite search engine to find them to find a myriad of articles, books and two positive radio programs that will help you in your journey.

Families are now going back to earlier traditions of making gifts by hand rather than buying them (plates of goodies, crafts, art, dried arrangements, dried or processed vegetables, herbs and jams from their gardens, etc). Some are making the most of family fun during the holidays by creating treasure hunts (as opposed to wrapping the gifts) - which is good for environment because it reduces waste. Many families are taking on environmental themes in their holiday gift giving by choosing gifts that will benefit the recipient and the environment.

Another sure way to break the blues is to make someone else's life a little brighter. Do you have a relative or neighbor that finds it difficult to wrap gifts? Help them with the task or purchase some reusable gift bags and boxes for them to use. Individuals and groups of friends can volunteer at several places around their community, if only for an afternoon; check with the local volunteer office if you are looking for places that need a hand.

Occasionally look through your closets, pantries, library shelves and storage areas for things that have not been used in the last couple of years or items you longer wish to own. Choose one section of the home at a time if you have a lot to go through. Donate the items to the less fortunate through food kitchens, shelters for the homeless, women's support centers and missions. Send books to the library and your local literacy programs - and don't forget to drop off items to thrift stores that raise funds for charities or hospitals.

If you have a few dollars to spare, even $20 would do, take the family down to the local grocery or pet shop and try to get as many items as you can for that money. Go down as a group and donate them to a food bank or animal shelter. If you can, try to purchase one item per family member as a donation for the food bank every time you go shopping. Even one can of tuna a week can make a world of difference.

Some families have taken on the task of repairing broken toys purchased at garage sales and thrift shops, which they then donate to others during the holidays. Perhaps you have a talent at a craft such as knitting mittens and slippers that you can use to help others.

Creative ideas like these are guaranteed to take the blues right out of your season, while getting the family involved in your community. Doing various holiday activities gets us out of our houses and into some fresh air. Living a more frugal and simplistic life encourages bonding between family and friends. Meanwhile we are able to make a measurable difference in our community. These kinds of ideas bring more life, adventure and love to us all for an extended period of time - they are memories and legacies that will last a lifetime.

Dearfoams Women's Acrylic Pile Platform Slipper

The softness of the Acrylic Pile platform slipper from Dearfoams is so unbelievable that you'll have to pinch yourself to know it's true. This cozy slipper has a cushioned insole, a rounded toe, a sure-grip rubber sole which is ideal for light outdoor wear and is also machine washable.
Customer Review: Unhappy
They didn't have a size chart to let you know what sm, med, lg, ex-lg, meant, so I ordered the medium and they were too small. I ordered a different color in the same size (med, which was an 8)and they were bigger for some reason, so I had to switch with my daughter. They were sooo soft and felt like walking on air at first, but about a week later the cushion is gone and it's like wearing covered flip flops now. I would not recommend.
Customer Review: Cushy!
I brought these slippers for my wife as a joke but it turns out that she like them alot. Their cushy and fluffy but they keep your feet really hot! Their about a 1/2 size too small so given your foot size go a 1/2 size bigger. But a good buy anyway.

Certainly a class on its own, an embodiment of style and fashion, and terribly expensive. These are probably the most appropriate phrases to use when describing those expensive designer shoes that, every so often, come out of the fashion world.

Women, generally, seem to be more attracted to shoes and are more likely to buy a pair than men. According to retail and consumer expert, The NPD Group, women in the United States spent about $17 billion on fashion footwear between October 2004 and October 2005, a clear 10% increase from the previous year's record.

Base on the same study, it was found out that handbags and footwear have completely replaced clothes as women's choice to showcase their personal taste, status, wealth and style.

Truth, when items are expensive chances are manufacturers used the highest quality materials possible which makes them more durable and would definitely last longer than the cheaper ones. However, there are times that the high price of a shoe is due to some uncommon, unconventional or unique material integrated into the shoe's design, like the $2 million stiletto sandals created by known designer Stuart Weitzman.

The pair of shoes has a total of 55 carats of clear diamonds and one big 5-carat stone decorated into the straps of the shoes. Another pair that Weitzman designed was a pair of ruby stiletto sandals inspired by the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. The pair was made by weaving platinum threads and inserting 642 rubies on the straps. The pair amounted to a cool $1.6 million, definitely not something that you could wear everyday. Really, sometimes the price of these designer shoes are already bordering on the absurd.

Years before, a $200 pair of shoes were considered as already expensive and for the high and mighty. Nowadays, prices for a more "practical" and "normal" pair of expensive designer shoes usually range from $500 to $15,000 depending on the materials used.

Italian leather is considered as the best leather in the world for making shoes and would certainly mark up the selling price of any pair of shoes by a considerable amount. Women shoes that are made from pure Italian leather and fashioned by highly skilled Italian craftsmen can easily fetch a price of more than $1000. Usually, shoes made from exotic skins like crocodile, alligator, snake and ostrich skins are the most expensive pairs that you'll find in boutiques, malls and shoe shops.

Dearfoams Women's Microfiber Suede Slouch Slipper

After nine months of being pregnant, the time for delivery almost arrives. You should prepare what you need to bring to hospital. It's a good idea to pack a bag full of your new baby and your necessities so you just need to grab it when the time comes!

So first thing you must do is make a list of everything you need and pack your bags in advance. The maternity ward usually offers this list and you can cross the item as you put it in the bags.

You need to pack your bag with your nursing bras, a lot of sanitary towels, underwear, slippers, toiletries and pajamas. For your newborn, you need a supply of Pampers, nappies, baby wipes, soap, shampoo, cream, towel, blanket, and baby powder. Off course you must also have rear-facing car seat installed in your car to bring your newborn safely home.

Remember to bring camera as you want to see and remember those happy moments forever. This will be your husband's duty to capture them! By the way, it's wise to take off all of your jewelry at home and keep them safe.

You will probably be too tired to read, but if you do want to take some magazines or books, then make them light and easy to read. Some parenting magazines and books are good to bring.

Your husband will be in charge of the belongings and getting everything to the hospitals once you're in labour. So relax and wait your newborn to come safely and happily.

Dearfoams Men's Auburn University Slipper

This slipper from Dearfoams is perfect for kicking back on Sundays while you watch the game. The suede upper is lined with warm, fleecy fabric, while the outsole is substantial enough for minor outside use. Auburn University fans will appreciate the embroidered vamp.

T C & Company knows how to please customers with their fast shipping and wonderful packing. I was surprised how fast our Sugar Scrub arrived. It came in it's own very nice gift box. Would make a perfect gift without a doubt, due to it's nice packaging and natural ingredients.

Works wonderfully, and I'm not left guessing what's included in the ingredients. It's basically a body butter base turned into a natural sugar scrub. The result of the combination is a body butter that not only makes your skin soft, but allows you to exfoliate, too. My problem area has always been my dry elbows, but this product actually took care of that. I was pleased about how well it did actually work!

The scent I was able to try was Luscious Lavender, and it is a very nice lavender like smell with a touch of vanilla. Other floral scents are available, as well as other types of fragrances. Several to choose from, so you are sure to find a scent you like.

In addition to their sugar scrub, T C & Company also offers many other natural products. At their website you'll find body butter, lotion, body spray, soap, and other items. Other collections are also available and each item is packaged for gifts.

Dearfoams Men's Genuine Suede Moccasin

Customer Review: my husband loves these
These are the only slippers that truly fit his size 11 feet. He wore them into a pulp last winter and I want to get him new ones. Why are they no longer available? whaaaaaaaaaa!
Customer Review: Comfy product
Bought the slippers as a gift for my husband. These slippers were exactly as shown in the picture. They are well made and comfy. My husband loves them!

Sometimes hitting a plateau can set motivation aside. It's sometimes really hard to lose weight on diet and exercise alone. Atro-Phex may be the answer. This supplement has helped many people lose weight and get toned such as 8 time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman. The truth is you don't need to be a bodybuilder to take a product like this. Atro-Phex helps people show their true definition. BSN has been in the industry for a long while, and knows what it takes to make a great product.

Back in June 2008 I just wasn't seeing results, so I decided to take Atro-Phex for a test run. The results shocked me. As the product says the first day you notice an increase in mental and physical focus. I sure did. When I started I took one capsule twice a day, then the next day went to two capsules twice a day. The caffeine may be overwhelming for some at the start, but I noticed it calms down after a while. I drink coffee daily so it wasn't overwhelming at all. I was noticing a consistent fat loss just after a week! I really liked the constant non fluctuating results. I even had some cheat meals, and didn't gain any fat.

The product does really a good job of suppressing appetite. I was quite surprised. I'm usually always craving the foods that I shouldn't eat, and thus hinder my results. At the beginning of June I only had one or two cheat meals planned, and I thought that might be unrealistic, and go up to 5 or 6 cheat meals. Throughout the month I really did stick to my plan - I had two cheat meals. I didn't have any cravings at all. There was a huge increase on my mental focus. It was totally different from anything I've ever experienced before. I really was focused on my goals, and nothing stopped me from reaching them.

After a month of using Atro-Phex I went from 186.6lb to 172.8lb! Almost 3% bodyfat was lost also. That was quite the accomplishment for me. I did lose more than I should have (weight loss doesn't always mean fat loss), and may have lost some muscle as a result. I don't think it was excessive though. The key for the product to work is you need a sound diet in place, have a good exercise plan, and get plenty of rest. BSN hit a home run with this product.

I hope this Atro-Phex Review gave you some insight to the power of BSN's products.

When you are a first time mother, you don't know what to expect period. People tell you all about their personal experiences and this just tends to be more nerve wracking for you the expectant mother. You hear that you need to pack a bag and get it ready for the hospital, because you will be in such a rush to get there. But what do you take with you to the hospital? Well here are some helpful tips so you have everything ready to go when your water breaks.

First of all, you shouldn't wait until your water breaks to pack your bags. Have your bag packed and waiting by the door you leave out of, at least a week before your due date.

Make sure that when its time to go to the hospital, you or your husband has a watch with a second hand. This way you can time your contractions, this will be very helpful for when you get to the hospital.

Make sure you have a cell phone, and on your way to the hospital make the necessary calls to family and relatives that you want to be at the hospital. Grandparents, sisters, and brothers, mothers in laws etc. Let your husband concentrate on driving and if your not in to much pain then you should try to make the calls.

For your laboring room when you are in labor, you should bring warm socks, hospital rooms are usually cold, a couple of washcloths for sweating and if you would like your own birthing gown, which can be a nightgown or whatever you want it to be. The hospital usually supplies these things for you so if you are a light packer you can leave these things at home.

For your hospital room you are going to need a robe, and some nightgowns, again the hospital will provide these if you don't want to take these. Slippers and some sweatpants and a sweatshirt, your makeup and everything you are going to need to get ready, hairdryer curling iron etc. You most likely won't look so hot after you have your baby, and since you will have visitors it's a good idea to bring thes thing. Also if you have a preference on sanitary napkins bring these or else the hospital will have these as well.

For going home you are going to need, an outfit, a nursing bra, if planning to breast feed, or just a bra. Underwear, shoes you get the point. A jacket if it's cold outside. Last but not least a couple bags to bring home flowers and presents

For the babies ride home you are going to need a car seat, an outfit including an undershirt and socks or booties, a couple of heavy baby blankets, one to swaddle baby in and if it's cold outside another one to cover babies head.

Choosing the Best Dance Wear for Ballroom and Latin Dance

Lots of people are getting off their couches are enrolling in Ballroom and Latin American dance classes. Dance is a wonderful way to get active, meet new people and discover a wonderful new hobby. However every week though I see beginners not getting the maximum benefit from their class because they don't have the right clothes and shoes.

Shoes are the single most important item for a dancer. Even keen social dancers make sure they have good comfortable shoes. Ballroom and Latin technique involves you sliding your foot over the floor: you cannot do this with athletic shoes, worse you may wreck you knee forcing your foot. Ideally you should have shoes with suede or leather soles. These shoes can't be worn outside though, you'll destroy the soles. If you don't have leather soled shoes get a smooth sole shoe.

Ladies, most ballroom dance steps have you moving backwards, you can't step backwards with a slip on shoe. You can't dance comfortably in a shoe that does not stay on your foot. That means a sandal with a strap or a court shoe that fits properly.

The other important point with shoes is that Ladies they must have a heel: normally 2 1/2" but 2" if you are more comfortable in it. Flat jazz sneakers or ballet slippers will not help you with ballroom and Latin American: your weight has to be towards the front of your foot and the easiest way to achieve that is with a proper shoe.

Men's shoes are easier - just make sure you wear a dress shoe with a relatively smooth sole and not athletic shoes.

Clothing: again its surprising the number of people who wear tight fitting clothing and think they are going to be comfortable dancing. Wear something comfortable but, particularly if you are paying for private coaching, wear clothing that shows your body's line. The reason that ballet dancers typically wear leotards is because that's what shows their body alignment the best. Ballroom is not quite as dramatic but its still essential to wear something that won't ride up at the shoulder and make you look like you've raised your shoulders even if you haven't. For men this eliminates any regular business or sports jacket: only jackets specifically designed for dancing will sit correctly across your shoulder with your arms up in ballroom hold. Most men avoid the problem by wearing a business shirt for ballroom or T-shirt for Latin American. Men's trousers should again not be too full so that his leg line can be seen.

Ladies clothing has an additional issue: American style ballroom particularly you need to wear a mid-calf length skirt so that you have something to play with! A skirt both enhances the dancers movement and hides the rather ugly bent knees which is the technical secrete behind that movement! Obviously a suitable skirt must allow you to stride out and for the man to get his leg between your' so a tight, straight skirt won't work.

A suitable skirt is traditionally made of Lycra and is either 4-gored cut on cross or designed with additional inserts from below the knee. The skirt is not as full as that used for square dancing or rock and roll. For Latin American the skirt is be shorter (optionally a LOT shorter) and trousers are slightly more common, but basically a nice knee-length or shorter, flippy skirt will show movement and your leg line!

Lis Sowerbutts has been a competitive ballroom dancers for over 10 years.

Over that time she has seen an explosion in cheap affordable dance wear thanks to the Internet. Buyers now have a fantastic choice for a lot less than even a few years ago For all your dance wear needs check out http://cheapdancewear.info

Is it Possible to Train Your Dog?

He was so cute when you brought him home. (Let's get the sexism out of the way right now. When I write "him" or "he" I am referring to either gender.) All he wanted to do was to shower you with love and to be loved in return. Euphoria cascaded all around. He whimpered and cried for the first few nights and you were willing to put up with that. After all, here he was in a new environment and this was part of getting use to his new surroundings.

Very quickly he developed some habits which were bothersome. He barked when the wind rustled in the trees. He barked when someone came near the front door. He barked at other animals, dogs, cats, squirrels; he didn't discriminate. He barked when he heard or saw humans even though he saw the same ones every day. He barked for no good reason.

Then he developed the attack mode. After all humans were meant to be loved and the best way to show love was to pounce on them. So your dog would jump at or up on the humans that entered his territory, at the same time furiously and lovingly wagging his tail at warp speed. What an deluge of love, but past bothersome and annoying especially if his victims got injured and threatened to sue you.

Your favorite slippers all chewed up? I wonder who could have done that. Answer - an untrained dog. But even worse is nipping and biting. This could be a major problem with young children in the house. I won't even get into urinary (and worse) problems though they are probably the most serious for a dog owner. No one wants to have furniture ruined by "accidents." And almost pulling your arm out of its socket by yanking on the leash? Who's the alpha male (or female?) anyway, you or the dog? Does he run headlong into traffic? And the list goes on.

So you consider ways to civilize his behavior. Obedience school is an option, but they tend to be expensive, and it will tie up one of your precious nights. We're not talking rocket science here. You shouldn't have to go to a school to get your dog trained. At the school you may feel you and the dog are being graded. You get enough of that at work, why look for extra aggravation. Are these schools successful? What's their drop-out rate? If your dog flunked out of school and you became labeled as a bad owner could you handle that?

So try a book or books. Get an education about how to get your dog under control. For example, the experts recommend not using treats as rewards. They propose establishing boundaries for your dog which will result in good manners. And maybe most important: YOU must learn to think and act in ways that will get you the behaviors you want. With enough effort on your part I'm sure you can train your dog.

Dress Code in Business - Some Considerations

On one end of the dress-code dimension we find the Iranian measure in which women are fined if they do not use their veil. A measure that got introduced only recently. The other end of the dress-code discussion is the complete freedom that some tourists exhibit when visiting a sacred building. In business you need to choose a side; somewhere on the wing of total freedom or just on the other side of the center imposing a simple code.

Some schools in Spain and other countries prescribe a uniform. Such a measure brings many advantages; all pupils are treated equally, it is cheaper as you need only a few sets of uniforms and it supports the child in accepting the education. To see this just imagine that you are going for a ride on the bike. In the first case you just wear normal clothes, in the other you put on a professional bicycle gear. In the second case the uniform reminds you every minute that it is serious. Imagine a Tour-the-France where everyone puts on the clothes he or she pleases.
Many other professions require an official uniform. Have you ever witnessed a pilot in shorts? Or a police officer in jeans, a medical specialist -- other than Doctor House -- dressed casual? Alright... there are exceptions, as always.

But the main point is that a simple dress code should help you perform. The suit at the office reminds you that you are a professional like the football player ready to start the match.

There are disadvantages or limitations of the success of a dress code. If you do not feel a professional a proper suit will not change your attitude. There is no guarantee.
Also you cant push things in a call-center. A call center is already a very demanding environment and some freedom would lower the barrier to accept the job. The client or prospect on the phone cannot see you. So in fact you are free to wear as you please as long as you are able to express respect. Are you when wearing toe slippers, like the tourist visiting a church?

In recent years the gourmet coffee industry has come of age. Discerning consumers have come to expect distinctive coffee tastes and aromas with all the passion of fine wine connoisseurs.

Boca Java is one of the many suppliers who has "answered the call" and markets gourmet coffee beans and accessories from around the globe, via the internet. This article will provide an independent review of Boca Java products and service.

According to the suppliers, they pride themselves in using only handpicked, specialty-grade Arabica coffee beans, chosen from selected high altitude tropical regions. Each location produces coffee beans of distinct taste and character.

Their biggest claim is freshness. They don't start roasting your coffee beans until after your order is received.

Boca Java also claim an interesting online shopping experience. You can choose your coffee blend by country of origin, by flavour (I counted about twenty different flavours), or if you're just looking for a quick smooth tasting dark roast with full bodied satisfaction, they have a webpage especially for that.

They also provide coffee accessories, such as brewing and grinding apparatus, coffee pots and cups, coffee storage devices, scoops, filters, milk whips, coasters - you name it. You can also order tea and cocoa as well... with all the accessories to go with it.

Finally, there's the "coffee club". Here's where you get all the specials and discounts and also earn "boca bucks" which can be exchanged for gifts and prizes. At the coffee club you can learn anything you want to know about coffee, including coffee's health benefits. You can also place 'standing orders' and choose your own delivery terms, which can be changed at your whim. Just love it.

Now for the bad news. I've read that you need to be careful about accepting one of their introductory "special offers" for a "free" coffee grinder and sample packages. The claim is, that Boca Java take this as a green light to provide you a regular supply of their coffee and extract money from your account. Whilst I have not experienced this myself, I believe that if you want to avoid this, you need to join their "coffee club" where you are given the option to modify or cancel your orders anytime. They notify you by email seven days before coffee is due for delivery and this is when you opt to cancel, change or reduce the order.

Their website looks very impressive. Just the pictures alone make you want to buy. You can almost smell the coffee coming out of your screen. All in all, it appears an attractive alternative for gourmet coffee lovers, with all the convenience of online orders and delivery to your door.

Peter Halpin enjoys great coffee. For further information about Boca Java and online gourmet coffee suppliers, he recommends visiting http://www.bocajavareview.com

Customer Review: Not what you think or pay for!!
I have very sore feet daily and I am always looking for a good slipper. I saw these and thought this might actually work. I was willing to pay the price due to the hope that they wouldn't fail me. I was only able to wear these for two days before they flattened like a pancake. There is no support. They are just like a cheap pair of slippers you could find at your local discount store. Please think before you purchase and look at the sides they are not a clog and only have a little piece of plastic on the bottom, they cannot go outdoors also. I really think this isn't what it looks like it is going to be!

Bedrooms are where we escape to for sleeping and relaxing, but sometimes, they can become storage rooms when we dont know where to put things. Clothes pile up on furniture and it becomes difficult to find what we are looking for.

Here are some creative ideas to make the most of the space you have.

Closets:

Maximize closet space by installing a closet organizing system. A custom designed closet can add so much storage space, but can be expensive. Less costly options are available at many department stores, such as Target. Mix and Match closet storage units are sold separately and reasonably priced. Take stock of what you need to store and decide which pieces you will need to purchase.

Use clear storage boxes to store childrens clothing according to size and age. Store it in the closet for future use or to prepare to donate or sell. They can easily be stacked and keep the clothing dust free and protected. In these boxes, they can even be stored in the basement if closet space is limited and they wont be ruined by dampness.

Use a hamper in the closet to collect clothing as children grow out of it, when its full, pack it up into a storage box.

Under the Bed:

Another option, flat plastic storage boxes made especially for under the bed are perfect for seasonal clothing when not in use or other things you dont need often, but cant bring yourself to toss. Vacuum-packed storage bags are also easily stored under a bed.

Hanging:

Hang hooks in the closet for robes and pjs for quick and easy access. A wall mounted tie rack makes grabbing a tie in the morning a breeze. Hang your purses as well. Use a hanging show rack on the back of the closet door for shoes, or slippers or other items, belts, socks, anything small you dont have to have to search for.

Shelves:

Keep clutter to a minimum by hanging whatever you can, including shelves. Wall mounted shelves for accessories keep clutter off your dressers.

Take a day to organize your bedroom storage and youll create a more serene space. Everything will be easily accessible and more apt to stay organized.

Dearfoams Embroidered Ballerina Slippers

All the seasons in a year whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, flowers and marriage go hand in hand. Flowers are great for any occasion especially for a wedding it plays a great role. Wedding day is one of the biggest days in your life. Whether the wedding is planned for a small and simple gathering or an elegant and extravagant show, flowers are a must in every wedding.

Recommendations from friends, relatives and associates are usually a good place to start with. Additional information can be found in the yellow pages. There are many sites which offer beautiful wedding ideas to add a special touch to this moment in your life.

Price, quality and service are the three main factors which should be kept in mind when selecting a florist. Also, refer to the recent client reference or letters of recommendations. If a summer wedding, ensure they have refrigerated delivery vehicles. These are the tiny details but it is very important to know and then enter into a contract for the florist.

For a Christian marriage, these floral arrangements are needed for the wedding bouquets, wedding altar arrangements, church, wedding table and so on and so forth. For a bride who wants it all white, the scented white lilies are gracefully arranged in a holder and accented with white lilacs and it becomes a beautiful white wedding bouquet. For the altar, if they want, full white beautiful floral arrangements can be made with white gladioli, or white Fuji mums, or white carnations. A beautiful white basket filled with Bridal white roses can be given to the flower girls. If the people are interested in colorful theme or pastel themes they can go for colorful roses, croton leaves with cut oranges and lemons and limes in a classical transparent flower pot for wedding floral arrangements.

South Asian weddings are full of rituals. Fresh flowers like roses, marigold and gerberas enhance the overall appearance of the traditional and ethnic look. For fall weddings go for the rich, bright and earthly colors like red, burgundy, amber, yellow and rust.

For summer weddings, go for light and pastel shades like pink, sky blue and for winter weddings go for the evergreen effect, white and sparkling silver. The entrance could be made grand with floral arrangements either with fresh flowers or with petals of other flowers and a floor flower carpet can be made.

Wedding floral arrangements carry a great significance in a marriage of any religion. A wedding without flowers is incomplete. Flowers depict various virtues and also give you that heavenly feel. So, order your wedding floral arrangements after the theme and shades have been selected.

Dearfoams Men's University Of Iowa Slipper

This slipper from Dearfoams is perfect for kicking back on Sundays while you watch the game. The suede upper is lined with warm, fleecy fabric, while the outsole is substantial enough for minor outside use. University of Iowa fans will appreciate the embroidered vamp.

Toddlers are such loveable little ones. Always filled with adventure and filled with enough energy to make a commercial for the little energizer bunny! It is important to fill these years with educational wooden toys to help with the child's motor skills. Hand/eye color coordination, finger dexterity, and non-sequential stacking capability can all be measured with many wooden toys.

Wooden stacking toys are a wonderful toy for toddlers. Toddlers will enjoy the bright colors and improve the hand/eye coordination with wooden stacking toys. Some of the best wooden stacking toys that I like are the hamburger and sandwich wooden stacking toys. Even some adults enjoy these good old fashioned wooden stacking toys.

Wooden building blocks are an old toy that has been a favorite by many young children. Wooden building blocks help to develop dexterity, problem-solving and reasoning skills, hand/eye coordination, color, shape, size identification and also be lots of fun. Some blocks are all natural and other blocks are different colors.

Wooden push toys are a must have toy for the little energetic toddler. Wooden push and pull toys are helpful for balance and will keep the toddler focused as they are learning to walk. These wooden toys will keep them walking and walking! Little wooden wagons are also a great toy for toddlers. These little wagons help a child learn to walk while pulling something behind and also helps the toddler learn to navigate turns while walking and pulling a toy. Toddlers will enjoy putting all their little "goodies" in a wooden wagon and then proudly walking around pulling their little wooden wagon.

Toddlers love to make noise. One good thing about a toddler is you know where they are when you can hear them, but when it is quiet......you know that it is time to start checking things out! Another old wooden toy that toddlers love is a wooden hammer and peg set. I still have mine that I received for my first birthday. It is now setting on a shelf for display. This little set has wooden dowel rods and a wooden hammer that the child can pound and then turn the game over and start pounding again. The best one that I have seen has a small leather strap which attaches the hammer to the peg set so the hammer does not get separated. My daughter has this set at her daycare center and it is a game that is played with often. It is interesting to watch the eyes of the toddler light up when seeing their accomplishment of pounding the pegs through.

Toddlers love toys, but just having a toy is not enough. Make it an educational, wooden toy and learn to bring out the creativity in your child with a unique, wooden toy!

How well I remember each of my children's first Christmases. Even when we couldn't afford to take many photographs, pictures are printed on my memory. My nine-month-old daughter on Christmas morning, wore her new nightgown, robe, and slippers I made her and put on her after her bath Christmas Eve. The night outfit was to be one of her gifts for that morning, but she needed to look "pretty" for pictures while she opened her gifts. So, she opened one the night before.

That memory is ours, my husband's and mine, not hers. She couldn't remember how many gifts she received, or if she got any. The tradition, of having the children open a present on Christmas Eve from Daddy, and wearing their new pajamas in order to have nice sleepwear for Christmas morning pictures was born her first Christmas, but not because she started or wanted it.

The first Christmas for our first son gave the family a story to tell and retell, but it wasn't one the children remembered on their own. We planned on traveling to my parents' for Christmas that year. I hadn't been home for Christmas since my senior year in high school. Since my husband's parents had left gifts for the two children, we decided to allow our two-year-old daughter and eight-month-old son open the gifts from that set of grandparents rather than take up space in the car going and coming. Our daughter was thrilled with the baby doll, and our son sat in the middle of the living room pushing the toy pickup going "rrrrr ... rrrr." We learned that boys learn how to make motor noises at an early age.

Christmas morning, our daughter ran to the tree, grabbed up the baby doll like the one left at home except for different clothes. She turned to her daddy and said, "Santa Claus brought my baby doll here for me." However, if we hadn't repeated the story later, she wouldn't have remembered.

The point I'm making is little ones won't remember how many gifts, how expensive, or the experience of their first Christmas. The memories and traditions are the parents' and grandparents'. Those babies old enough to open presents often enjoy the wrappings more than the content. One or two toys are enough to occupy little ones. More than that, they don't know which to play with first.

A baby's first Christmas should be one that both the baby and the parents can enjoy. The parents then can have pleasant memories to share with the child when he or she is old enough to understand.

Are you one of those that has no idea what to do when it comes to putting pictures on paper, creatively? Are you pretty clueless how to get started in scrap-booking? That's okay, so was I, in fact, we all were at some point in life. But as you have probably heard before, you have to start somewhere.

So to begin you need to know the basics of scrap-booking. To get started you will want to have a few things.

1. Paper, you can pick this up anywhere. Walmart has packages of plain colored pages that are pretty cheap. Your local craft store will have a lot, most of which are decorative.

2. Scissors, I suggest you buy a package of 10-15 decorative scissors. You can get these for around $20-25. If you can't afford that then try to buy at least 1-2 scissors, which are about $3-5 a piece.

3. Basic decor, you don't need much for decorations if you can't afford it because you can use a lot of things that are already lying around the house. If you can afford it I would suggest getting a few different colors of silk, some string, stickers, markers, smaller pieces of paper to frame your pictures, pipe cleaners, eyes, and then a few stencils including letters. You do not need all of this so choose some things you think you are more likely to use.

Once you have got your stuff gathered together you need to pick out the pictures you would like to showcase on some of the scrapbook pages. Then you will want to find or think of some ideas for scrap-booking these pictures.

For instance you could take a picture of you child smiling, frame it with piece of paper and then put a yellow smiley face in the corner of it. That one is pretty basic, but you can also take one of her doing a ballet solo, frame it with a purple paper and then cover the page in pink silk, doilies, and ballet slippers.

Need more scrap-booking ideas for your little one. I can help you with all things scrap booking including free, cheap, easy, baby, wedding and more scrapbook ideas.

You can browse by brand or product type when searching for luggage on the internet; if you know the website to the brand you are looking that will save you some time. Regardless of the actual dimensions of your carry-on-luggage; you should still make sure you pack it lightly so that it will be able to fit in the overhead compartment. Buying the top brands of luggage is normally your best bet if you can afford one the higher quality pieces of travel gear.

You can immediately take inventory of the contents in your luggage just in case it is lost or stolen; you will be able to file a claim with tsa. Alot of people haul as much of their material possessions on board as they can; these passengers are the ones who do not like to wait on the carrousel. Many people will walk off and leave their luggage unattended; however, there has been a rule implemented for that. To avoid lost luggage tag your luggage so that it will look different from all the other bags that look similar to yours.

Much of the luggage will not only be scanned; but it will also be opened and sifted through to be for certain no rules are being broken. Quality is about continual improvement no matter what the luggage may go through; the airport staff is not always careful with the handling of your bags, therefore it needs to be built to last. Plastic luggage is used best when packed inside of a leather or vinyl suitcase; this can protect it from being ripped or damaged in any kind of way. Your bags can be checked at the airport to save the trouble of taking them on and off each connecting flight you are scheduled to fly on.

Weight is 50 pounds and maximum size is sixty-two inches per checked piece of luggage; how these numbers are figured is a question that should be directed to tsa. To avoid getting the lock cut off of your luggage; you should purchase a lock that has been approved by tsa. Your bags might be saver with you while you travel; however, not all luggage will fit in the overhead compartment on the airplane. Regardless of the way things may have changed regarding carry-on-luggage; it is still okay to take a small bag on the airplane with you.

Customer Review: Briiliant slippers!
For some reason, slippers are the only footwear that make my feet feel claustrophobic; I have no idea why. I absolutely love these slippers! There's a tiny lip of a heel around the back of these slippers, but not enough to cup around the back of your entire heel -- just how I like it. They are amazingly soft and warm. I am a shoe size 7.5-8 and bought the L (8-9). Get these, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.

Well, here's a thought.

First off - use your brain. Memorise each one. You're a clever person. You can keep track. And no-one else will ever know what's inside your head. Problem is, it's not going to be the odd one or two. It's going to be more like 100 or 200 hundred.

Every password must be different otherwise as soon as someone manages to work it out once, they can use it time and time again. So all of your passwords MUST be different.

As well as being different from each other, they must also be rather complicated. Your dog's name just will not do - too easy to guess. Neither will your favorite color. Anything that can be found in a dictionary is too easy for the automatic 'harvesters' to discover (the hackers use programs which use a whole dictionary to try and get your password). They do the same with names, so you can't use your favorite Uncle's name either. No, it has to be really complicated.

But you still want to remember it, don't you? Hundreds of 'it's.

Plan B - write them down. In a small address book which will keep them alphabetical. Yes, this will work. But where to keep what I've written down? OK, so it's really no big deal at home where family members can be trusted. But in environments where there is a risk that someone will mis-use your book if they know where to find it, then it must be kept either on your person at all times (even in the shower!) or under lock and key.

I think you will find even your bank wants to be sure your passwords are not written down and easily accessible.

Hmm. Bit of a problem?

Well, no it needn't be.

There's a fantastic program from Siber Systems' called AI Roboform, which will handle all your passwords for you. There's even a USB version, which means that if you use more than one computer, you can plug in the USB stick to use it and then when you've finished, 'stop' it and take it out. It removes all traces of ever having been there.

Roboform can be set up for use with more than one person. Passwords, logins and all sorts of details can be safely kept behind a master password too. This times out after a couple of hours of inactivity. It's absolutely brilliant!

You can try it out for free and it will let you save 10 entries.

Oh, and because you don't need to remember passwords for yourself any more, you can even get Roboform to generate them for you - and save the whole login ready for next time you want to use it. Clever, eh? It does a lot more than there's room in this article to explain.

Yes, there are other password management programs. You only have to run a search in Google to see hundreds of them. But I really like Roboform. Perhaps because I've been using it for many years now, and that they gave me a discount when I bought the USB stick version, or just because it's like a pair of old slippers - easy and comfortable.

For whatever reason, I do urge you to give it a try and save the space in your brain for recalling more fascinating information - like naming all the planets in our solar system.
