My Morning Battle Against Nail Fungus With Funginix

January 16th, 2012

My weekday morning routine goes something like this.  The alarm on my wrist watch goes off at 6.15 am and I quickly shut it off so as not to wake my partner.  Sleeps clings to me for 10 more minutes until I force myself upright and into the shower.

After showering I grab my toothbrush and notice a red ribbon tied around it.  That’s my signal to treat my stubborn nail fungus infection with Funginix (see review).  Not pleasant at all, but it’s got to be done.  Applying the nail lacquer regularly is the only way I’ll get rid of my ugly yellow nails according to my dermatologist.  I believe her.  After all I’ve spent 5 years trying to get rid of the condition without success.

Then its into my work clothes and into the kitchen.  If I’m lucky my partner will have got up by now and made me a strong coffee.  She normally does and I love her for it.  Unfortunately I’ve had to swap eggs and bacon for wholegrain cereal.  On some days my partner will sprinkle an encyclopedia of health foods – from amaranth (food of the Aztec gods apparently) to chia seeds and gogi berries (for antioxidant benefits).

Then its out into the morning rush-hour into Brisbane listening to the news and weather.  If I plan to exercise that day, I now remember to take an extra pair of socks with me to change into.  Another tip from my dermatologist to help combat my fungal nails.  She tells me that fungi grow best in warm, moist, and damp environments so its vital I change out of my sweaty exercise socks as quickly as possible.

I’ve got my morning routine down to a T.  And I think I’m also winning the battle against my nail fungus infection.

How my friend prepares for work in the morning

January 11th, 2012

Think your job is hard? I have friend who goes through a rigorous mental routine just so that he focus for the rest of the day. You see, he works for a marketing company and apparently its more than just “selling”. He tells me that t is about building a relationship founded on trust and confidence between you and your customers. Working for an internet marketing company entails a lot of hard work and dedication. Some people can be swayed by traditional marketing strategies, but a larger percentage of the population decides based on facts. Here is the morning routine he goes through everyday:

Convince Yourself First
If you are not convinced about what you are selling, chances are you will not be able to sell or promote the product at all. This would affect the way you word your promotional materials, and your customers would easily feel this even if they do not see you in person.

Be As Educated As Possible
In order to gain trust and confidence, you should be knowledgeable about whatever you are promoting and ready to answer any questions your customers may have. That way, you will be able to make your customers feel that you are the best person to do business with.

Provide Appropriate Amount of Information
Customers will not always ask questions. The more information you provide about the products are services, the higher are the chances that you will be able to make a sale. Providing answers to frequently asked questions and product reviews and feedback will greatly be of help as well.

Yep, that doesn’t sound like the job for me!

Getting Up in the Morning to Find a Security Job

January 6th, 2012

security jobsIt may not be difficult to find security jobs around since pretty much all of the major establishments around would require a security guard or two. The problem is not with the availability of jobs but with competition and also having the initiative to do it. Sometimes, the actual problem of being able to land a job is not with the employer but within the individual. It can be quite a lot of effort for some people to just get up in the morning and get dressed to look for a job.

Well, guess what, there are ways on how you can actually talk yourself into landing one of those security jobs beginning with getting up early in the morning to prepare.

Preparation for a Security Job is the Key

If you find yourself unemployed and are willing to apply for security jobs one thing that you should do the day prior to your job hunting date is to prepare yourself. Now how exactly do you prepare yourself for a day out in the city looking for openings in security jobs? Well, first thing is to find a decent outfit that would make employers say that you are a respectable person. No one wants to hire a person who looks grungy and has poor hygiene.

Next is to prepare a good resume about yourself and have it printed out so that you’ll be good to go the very next day. Also, make sure to prepare a brief description of yourself that would include all the pertinent information that they would require when you’re applying in one of those security jobs.

Confidence Comes from Preparation

Employers give thumbs up or can be impressed by people who know how to carry themselves. Having the confidence during an interview for a security guard position can come from preparing well. If you do not prepare yourself, you’ll probably end up stuttering without a word to say about yourself or the job.

Being Productive in the Morning

January 6th, 2012

I have found that mornings are my most productive part of the day.  I like to get up, have some coffee and a bite to eat and then get right to work.  This morning, for example, I used this interest calculator to research a loan that I am applying for.

An interest calculator is utilized to calculate additional funds, while performing mathematical equations. Whether it is determining accrued funds on a bank account, or checking rates, these dependable units are widely popular and always in demand. There are several ways to find these computing units as well. One of the best ways is to visit the local electronics and accessories store.

These venues offer a range of calculators, which are designed to effectively compute amounts and other functions. One can also check the Internet for online calculators, which help save time and money. As wireless devices continue to soar in global popularity, a number of them also offer these calculators for maximum convenience as well.

In order to process exact calculations, individuals must first understand what interest is. This is additional money you earn when investing other money. The latter is known as principal, which can accrue in banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions.

Accrued funds are based on specific rates, which are determined when making an initial investment. While some banks offer higher rates for larger deposits, most simply base the value of additional funds on the amount of the deposit. To effectively calculate these sums, you need a dependable machine that can determine both current and future rates.

In addition to retail stores, customers can also find dependable calculators at wholesale outlets. Whether it is scientific or mathematical calculators, individuals can access a range of top brands and components. They may also be eligible for substantial discounts on mass purchases and sales. For those that are strapped for cash, a number of educational institutes also offer these calculators for free. In fact, several schools carry a wide array of calculators for students that simply cannot afford one.

Simply speak to a math teacher of professor for more information. While these units can help you access desired financial amounts, individuals can also determine annual payouts on certain investments or financial ventures. No matter what you utilize these popular units for; you are guaranteed to receive precise computations and readings.

These calculators may even be used to figure out rates for credit cards. As the fiscal crisis ensues, a number of credit card holders are trying to lower rates and finance charges. To help alleviate the financial tension, several credit card companies now list additional calculations on statements. While the information is easy to read, there are times when calculators will be needed to determine future rates. For example: a credit card statement may list certain rates based on current balances. If, however, an individual wants to see how much he or she will pay out over a period of ten years, a calculator can be used to find exact figures within time and budget.

These types of calculators can also be used to figure out rates on loans. This is very important when planning to take out a home mortgage or car loan. An interest calculator can also be utilized to determine additional charges for store purchases and clothing sales.

Waking up to the sweet smell of SEO

December 27th, 2011

Wake up to SEO. A technological revolution like no other.

SEO or search engine optimization is really a phenomenon. It’s an industry that churns out more than a billion in turnover year after year. Why don’t many people know about it? Well that’s an answer in itself. The people behind the mastermind industry like to keep quiet.

Why wouldn’t they? If you’re raking in a couple hundred thousand a year through a fairly easy industry would you like the whole world to know? Of course not!

Though even if the world knew, maybe they wouldn’t be able to wrap their head around theories such as link building services or on-page optimization. Maybe they wouldn’t even be able to get off the bench, since there is just so much to learn before you can start tooting your horn.

Whatever the case, it’s about time you and your business woke up to the sweet smell of seo in the morning because, SEO could mean a lot more than your morning coffee.

Morning Habit – The Dreaded First Cigarette Of The Day

December 12th, 2011

Looking back now on my morning routine I couldn’t believe what I used to do each and every morning. My alarm would go off at 7am, I would snooze until 7.15am. I would sit up in bed with my eyes barely open, lean over to my bed side table and grab a cigarette. I would light up and smoke that cigarette as a way of waking me up, at the time this was just a normal morning and it didn’t seem odd to smoke whilst sat in bed never mind indoors. When I look back now to my old routine it actually makes me feel a little nauseous! Why couldn’t i at least wait until I was out of the shower and having a cup of coffee? This is how addicted I was to cigarettes, not good.

Fast forward 3 years and my morning habits (as well as my smoking habits) have changed completely. Since I switched to the electronic cigarette I really haven’t looked back. The morning smoke is now thankfully a thing of the past, this has been replaced by a strong black coffee, I don’t even smoke my e cig until the afternoon now. Soon enough I won’t even smoke this.

If you are a smoker then the routine of that first cigarette in the morning may possibly be a familiar thing. If it is then you may also be wandering what an e-cig is? It is simply an alternative device that delivers your nicotine hit without all the harmful carcinogens whilst still giving you the sensation of ‘smoking a cigarette’. There are many different brands available, take a look at brands such as Green Smoke, E-Lites and Sky Cig, there is even a Green Smoke discount code available to give you money off your first starter kit.

Start Your Morning With Aloe Vera Juice

December 12th, 2011

Start each morning with aloe vera juice drink, not only does it improve your health, it gives you that ‘feel good factor’.

There’s an abundance of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids which act to boost your body’s immune system. Not only does your immune system help by dealing with the relatively small things like curing that cold, but by boosting your immune system you can help your body to fight much more serious illnesses including many cancers and even AIDS. Don’t just take my word for that. The UK’s National Health Service announced in March 2011 that its doctors’ main treatment for pancreatic cancer would be to boost patients’ immune systems, and that this treatment would in future be used for all cancers. That’s pretty conclusive proof that it is worthwhile to boost your immune stsyem. After all, if your immune system can fight these illnesses after they have taken a hold, it must make sense to help your body defend against contracting these illnesses in the first place. Start your morning with aloe vera juice, your body will love you for it.

Start Your Day With a Glass of Water for Better Health

December 12th, 2011

It’s a good idea to have a glass of water ready next to you before going to bed. A little simple trick to stay healthy to have a glass of water as soon as you wake up in the morning; it doesn’t take much effort, it’s really not hard to do, it doesn’t require as much time and commitment as say exercise or similar type of activity, yet it packs a good bit of benefits for your health. If you can, it is also good to have some lemon squeezed into your water. This little drinking water thing helps with digestion problems, gives you healthier skin, make easier for the waste to be removed from your system, obviously it will help with constipation as well, and even possibly, you would never guess this one, lower your cholesterol level. Yes, I was quite surprised to learn about that myself here (Cholesterol). During the day it’s not the best time to drink water when you eat, it is better to have it half hour before eating or a half hour after eating.

Constipation and waste removal is probably a bigger problem than most people know or understand; not frequent enough bowel movements mean a lot of toxic waste staying inside of the body longer and therefore being a course for many new diseases to originate inside your organism, and many many other problematic health conditions that require unnecessary or excessive component to be removed from the body in order to operate well. For this matter dehydration can cause many health issues, and there is no better way to solve it then simply drink more water, however it’s important to note that it’s more beneficial drinking water early in the morning when you wake up then it is during the day.

Water is basically the greatest substitute for virtually any liquid, not to say that adding some fresh squeezed juice to your diet is a bad idea, it is actually a great idea. However, there is a big difference between fresh squeezed juice and the juices you buy in the supermarket. Juices that are regularly sold have a lot of sugars added, excessive amount of which can cause health problems in their turn, in addition to that nutritional value of fresh squeezed juices is much much higher. For this reason the majority of the liquid consumed daily should come from water. An extraordinary case is for those who consume a lot of soft drinks, they should look at drinking water as a first priority. Soft drinks have shown to be a problem for many health conditions, the list of health issues that may originate from drinking soft drinks is so large that it’s hard to keep up with it, it includes conditions as diabetes, dental problems, many cardio vascular diseases, elevated cholesterol levels, addiction to caffeine. Long story short, to drink the damn glass of water now and then during the day and save one or the early morning wake-up time.

Afraid You’ll Miss Your Morning Cigarette?

December 8th, 2011

People who are thinking about giving up smoking usually dread the fact they are going to miss those “special cigarettes” they have always smoked at certain times of the day. Usually it’s the cigarettes they have after a meal, while consuming alcohol, or that first one in the morning when drinking a cup of coffee. It’s missing out on these cigarettes in particular which cause many people to go back to tobacco when they could otherwise manage to quit.

These days there’s an option which will allow you to continue “smoking” without lighting up. It’s called the e cigarette and it’s the savior of many smokers who wake up first thing in the morning craving a ciggie to go with their hot cup of black coffee.

Using the electronic cigarette is much like lighting up your regular tobacco smokes. You get the nicotine, the hit in the back of your throat, and the smoke-like vapor when you exhale. Most people even think e cigs are tastier than the real thing, and if you believe the hype then the are even less damaging to the health of the people who use them.

After making the move over to the smokeless cigarettes a few months ago I can honestly say I no longer miss the burning tobacco I once inhaled. It’s true that it takes most people a little while to get used to the cleaner taste of the e cig, but once you do there is no going back. When I take a draw on my Safe Cig each morning I’m overjoyed I no longer have to fill my lungs with tar and carbon monoxide, and I’m pretty happy about the money I save too!

Check out some of the e cigarette reviews online to find one of these cool little devices for yourself without spending a fortune.

My secret to waking up every morning and being full of energy?

December 6th, 2011

In the past when I woke up I was grumpy and a bit depressed as I started my day doing the same routine every day. At work I continually felt the pressure that I had to join the usual discussions during my lunch break with my colleagues. That was probably so as I was totally unhappy in my life as I had nobody to share my love and pain with; I was empty from the inside. I don’t mean I was without a soul, but if you think about it, I was not a stone cold wall but more a less without another soul to keep my life warm and full of love and energy. The greatest love of my life I have found on the internet while searching for sites de rencontre en belgique, which if you don’t speak French means dating sites in Belgium, where I enjoy living and now also enjoy working. I recommend everybody that is angry or depressed in the morning to do exactly the same, just go on the internet and join as many online dating sites. As most are free, you have lost nothing and you can only gain more! This is my morning gift to all you other morning friends and colleagues.

Let the day begin again!

My Morning Walk in my Garden

December 6th, 2011

Each morning i go for a stroll outside and as I walk around my garden I admire the greenhouses.  I open the patio doors from my lounge onto a large patio area where I have lots of potted flowers and herbs.  Then there is a grassed area in an oval shape with borders down each side which are full of all sorts of flowering shrubs, foliage and bamboos.

I then have a path which sort of starts wide then gets narrower made from bricks and shingle.  There are some garden ornaments along the way which I have collected over the years.  The wooden bench is my favourite as it is situated right next to a lavender bush.

So you can sit there on a nice sunny morning and smell the lavender.  The greenhouses are situated right at the top of the garden where they get the best light.

Homemade Litter Box For Your Sleeper Furry Friend

December 5th, 2011

Cats love to take a nap on bed or sofa – day and night, as well as developed a nasty behavior of dirtying it. Therefore, having and training your cat to use litter box properly is a must. Automatic litter box will surely able to comfort your life, but not every cats lover can afford it, especially in this economy.

For this reason you its possible to save your self by making a home made litter box . With easily found materials used and as well as the simple structure,  mamking a homemade the litter box should be very easy.

The first step in making a litter box is by looking for a hollow plastic box. Depending on whether your pet is a kitten or a fully grown cat, choose a box that your cat will fit in and comfortable to do its business. Remember cats are known for their pride and extreme comfort. Next time they feel uncomfortable in the litter box, it will refuses using the box.

The second step is making the floor of the box suitable for your cats needs. You can use any absorbent paper like a newspaper for purpose. Place the paper on the inside the box. After you have made sure that the paper is of a comfortable thickness, add the litter on it. The liter should be thin actually. Going by the cat’s diet and digestive system, we dint expect much urine and feces from the pets system.  The purpose of laying the newspaper is to absorb the urine so as the acidic excrete doesn’t come into contact with the floor of the box and corrode it. Cat litter holds the feces from the pet.

The litter material used should be chosen with a lot of care. Not any kind of litter can be used, you may need to replace with the new type if she do not like it, and carefully monitor her reaction. When you finally get a litter that your cat prefers, stick with it. Place the cat litter box at a point where your cat prefers to use. After that, it’s your duty to make sure that you change the litter and newspaper from time to time.

Morning Is All About Coffee

December 2nd, 2011


Hamilton beach one cup coffee maker
As one of the contributing authors of this morning time blog, I have to admit there’s not much I like about the morning. The highlight of my morning is brewing coffee in my Hamilton Beach one cup coffee maker and from that point forward it starts to pick up. As soon as I put my foot on the ground I head straight to the coffee maker and of course I had ground the beans the night before so it’s all ready to go. I just flip the switch and by the time I let the dog out and feed him, which takes about a minutes, I have a fresh cup of coffee ready and waiting for me.

From that point, I grab my coffee and sit down for my morning meditation. My meditation seems to get me off on the right foot and without it I’m really lost. I’m not sure why, if it’s habit or if it’s just better for me but I actually sip my coffee while I meditate. For those of you that meditate it probably sounds odd but coffee seems to just get me in the place I need to be.

Once I finished my morning ritual of coffee and meditation, I’m then ready to get ready for the day. I actually take my coffee into the shower with me where I put it on a special made ledge high away from the water. I can reach up and grab a sip anytime I want. Once I’m showered and get dressed which takes about an hour I begin to take on some resemblance of a human being.

Without this morning ritual starting with coffee and meditation and then my shower, I have no idea how I would be able to face the day. When I was younger I could literally step out of bed and turn on the shower but those days have passed and it takes some serious effort to get my day started right. I am fortunate that I work for myself so this works very well for me. At that point I’m out the door, coffee in hand and ready to take on the world. Thank God for coffee.

Juicy Mornings

November 28th, 2011

When I wake up early in the morning the first thought I have in “drink”. Before you start thinking that I’m an alcoholic, let me assure you, that’s not the case at all. My body is a temple! What I’m meaning is that after a good sleep of eight hours plus, my body needs some hydration. So the first thing I do is get to the faucet and have a glass or water. In the summer, water alone is fine. I’d usually have two large glasses, about a pint and a half. In the winter, the water is a bit to chilly. So I have a smaller glass of water and then some hot water with a slice of lemon. This is really healthy and it helps to warm me up as well.

Once I’m feeling suitably lubricated, I move on to breakfast. Usually I have a fruit smoothie or a large juice. One of the easiest drinks (and cheapest) is just bananas and water all mixed together in a blender. Since I’ve got a high powered blender, it’s easy for me to make green smoothies – an example would be apple, orange, pineapple, spinach, water and ice. There’s less calories in a green smoothie but the fiber it contains does help to fill me up. These kinds of drinks are made in a blender.

Juicers are used to make lighter drinks. A popular model at the moment is the Omega VRT350HD masticating juicer. I got this juicer because it juices any fruits and vegetables I want and it’s fast too. I’d say that blended drinks feel more like a meal but there is a time and a place for juice. They’re good in the morning to get the hydration I need for the day ahead.

Making the Tea and Letting The Cat Out In The Morning

November 28th, 2011

My morning routine is pretty standard, even though I was made redundant six months ago.  Nothing has changed really, apart from a slightly later time of getting out of bed.  I am still up before the wife even though she is still going to work and I still make her a nice brew and take it to her in bed.

My alarm goes off now at 6.45 (used to be 6 but I don’t need to get up now).  I put my dressing gown on, visit the toilet and then toddle off downstairs to open the curtains, make some tea and let the cat out.  Actually, I don’t need to let the cat out any more but it is just force of habit.  She used to be locked in over night and I would let her out first thing in the morning and she would skulk off behind the garden shed and get on with her private early morning business.

Just before my redundancy I bought her some cat litter box furniture so she could use her litter tray indoors, still with the required privacy, and without me having to look at it whilst I eating my morning corn flakes.  She still only seems to use it once a day, overnight, but it actually doubles up as a nice end table as it matches the rest of our dining room furniture and has a nice lamp and some books on top.  Overall a really nice product and we are glad we invested in one even though it wasn’t particularly cheap.

Once I have had my morning breakfast and listened to the news headlines on the radio, I take my lovely wife a steaming hot brew and that’s me in her good books for the rest of the day.  Now that’s what makes a happy marriage!

Find the best sleep apnea treatment option now.

November 28th, 2011

Snoring has been something man has dealt with since the beginning of time, however we just recently have understood the root of this problem and that is sleep apnea.  Presently there is somewhere around twenty million people in the USA alone that have yet to be diagnosed with this condition. The good news for people suffering from this condition is that there is a number of treatment options available on the market today.
When most people think sleep apnea treatment they think CPAP.  This is a facemask put on at night that streams a continuous airflow into your airway, as a result stopping the snoring and allowing proper breathing.  There is also the choice of opting for oral surgery, however this can be extremely painful and often times is unsuccessful.  At last there is another answer that is rather accepted today and that is oral appliance therapy.  Many people today choose oral appliance therapy simply because it works the best and is the least uncomfortable of all treatment options.

The Stock Market Opens EARLY If You Live On The West Coast!

November 28th, 2011

When I was in my early twenties my Dad taught me how to buy stocks because he thought I needed to get started saving and investing my money. He has always been a big proponent of buying solid companies and holding them to get better returns than you can in any other investment vehicle.

The thing is though, the stock market opens up at 6:30 in the morning every weekday on the West Coast where I live. That means for anyone who keeps a close eye on the market, they have to get up super early! Sleeping in means you may miss the news and movement in the market as it opens and I hate missing out.

For over 20 years now I have gotten up before the market opens  and I think the reason I developed that habit was because of the stock market. I don’t buy or sell stocks every day by any means, but it has just sort of become part of my routine. Sometimes I wish my Dad had taught me to do something that takes place later in the day so I could sleep in every morning!

Best Coffee Machine

November 28th, 2011

Personally I can’t even contemplate doing anything in the morning before I’ve had my first hit of caffeine. There something so comforting about inhaling the aroma of fresh coffee that really sets me up for the day ahead. These days there are just so many options when it comes to coffee maker brands that it can be really difficult to know where to begin and that’s before you even think about what the best coffee machine  to suit your lifestyle would be. Should you go for the traditional pump espresso machine? Or maybe you’d like the whole shebang and think a bean-to-cup machine is the way to go. You may of course want the easy life, like me,  in which case a pod or capsule machine might be the answer. These are great because you don’t have to deal with the mess of spooning out ground coffee or go through the process of grinding beans. These machines will quite often produce a lovely espresso or cappuccino in unfeer 30 seconds. Now that can’t be bad.

Watching an English Premier League Match

November 26th, 2011

Nearly every Saturday morning I get up and eagerly await the start of the English Premier League soccer matches.  What’s great is that in the United States the television station ESPN 2 now shows one game each Saturday, in glorious high definition.  This might not sound that amazing to my British friends (who would be aghast that I am calling football ‘soccer’), but to us Americans who have been deprived for so long, this is an incredible step forward.

This morning the match I watched was Manchester United against Newcastle United at Old Trafford (Manchester United’s home stadium).  It was a wild game that had a little bit of everything: a lucky goal, a contentious penalty call, multiple world class saves, a red card, and much more.  One that that stuck out to me was the new soccer ball the Premier League is using during the winter months.  It’s a bright yellow “high visibility” ball, and it sure stands out when you’re watching on TV.

The game ended up in a 1-1 draw; Newcastle must consider themselves extremely fortunate to come away with one point, as Man United had at least a dozen incredible opportunities where on most days they would have scored 3-5 goals very easily.  This really opens up the EPL for Manchester City to take a stranglehold on first place and to win their first Premier League title.

Tips On Drawing Targeted Traffic You Your Website

November 26th, 2011

Learning About Byzantine Architecture

November 26th, 2011

Although it had been called the peak of the Early Christian Style, the Byzantine departed from both Early Christian and classical precedents.

Its plan is a Greek cross inscribed in a square, and its great central dome, 42 feet in diameter. The plan was derived from the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. The domes on pendentives and the half domes above the apse are ringed with windows, so that the brilliantly colored mosaics in the upper reaches of the church were softly lightened.

Find The Debt Relief You Need In The Private Sector

November 22nd, 2011

Is getting out of debt really all that hard?  This is a question going through the mind of millions of Americans right now.  The recession has put so many people in such a bind that credit card debt has become the next financial epidemic.  The bad news is that our government is doing nothing to help the common debtor.  The good news is the private sector can offer help to solve this problem.
Most debt relief solutions can be found only in the private sector.  Even the so called nonprofit companies are really in business to turn a profit.  But this is a good thing for the majority of debtors.  Thus allowing people an out to what could be a very rough financial situation.  Paying minimum payments is what most people do until they realize that it’s a losing path.  And by losing I mean in terms of dollars, the amount of interest collected by the credit card companies through minimum payments is simply ridiculous.

Quick Tip for Accessing BBC Iplayer Abroad

November 21st, 2011

If  you’ve ever tried to access the BBC Iplayer abroad then you have probably experienced that disappointment as the warning message informs you  that it’s not going to happen.   The fact is that if you are trying to access the BBC Iplayer site from anywhere outside the United Kingdom – in all likelihood it simply won’t work.  The reason is that the site looks up the origin of your connection when you visit the site, checking  the address with a large database of IP address locations.  Anything not registered in the UK gets blocked.

Sometimes you can be lucky of course, IP addresses often get re-allocated across countries.  An address range may start off in the UK and then get assigned to another country, if the database is not updated then this will work.  I’ve connected before to the BBC from French and German hotel networks due to this situation.   If you’re lucky enough to have this situation then don’t move your ISP as you’ll end up in a different range.

However for everyone not as luck there is some hope.  Although the BBC have blocked us they’ve left some pretty simple work arounds open by accident or perhaps design.   The trick is to make sure that your IP address is actually seen to be from the UK whilst obscuring your real one.  Sounds difficult but it can normally be achieved with a few clicks.  What you need is to initially connect through a proxy or VPN server which is based in UK.

For many people if you’re working abroad, then you may be able to connect through to the home network through their company VPN – just log onto the BBC before disconnecting and you’ll have no problems.  Otherwise then you can subscribe to the many online services which offer you a connection through a UK server.

The best ones have little software interfaces which mean it involves no technical aspect at all.  A click of the button and you’re disguised as a British web surfer.  There are some free proxies around as well but unfortunately finding one that is fast enough and available is no easy task and you will probably spend many hours continually searching.

Wine in the Morning?

November 18th, 2011

Why is it that we are allowed to have almost every type of alcohol in the morning except red wine?

Think about it for a minute.  If you order a Bloody Mary, that’s pretty normal right?  Order a glass of Champagne in the form a Mimosa at brunch and you’re sophisticated.  Ask the waiter for the complete wine list before 11am and you’ll get a look to be sure.

Of course, no one can tell you what to eat or drink when you’re in your own home though.  A wine of the month club can deliver wine straight to your front door, you’ll be allowed (assuming your wife is on board!) to drink it whenever you want!

RV Living – Experience A Beautiful Sunrise Every Morning

November 18th, 2011

One of the highlights of RV living is the way it allows you to see and enjoy the best the country has to offer.  Amongst the rewards of this type of lifestyle is the unparalleled opportunity to experience the most beautiful possible sunrises when you awake each morning.

Why RV Living Makes For Great Sunrises

Unlike living in a traditional home, when you opt for the fulltime recreational vehicle lifestyle you are location independent.  This means you can seek out places to say that are attractive to you.  If you are a fan of wonderful sunrises you can spend your days travelling from one beautiful location to the next, seeking out the best there is to offer.

Best East Coast Sunrise For RV Dwellers

Many people have great things to say about Sand Beach, which is located in the Acadia National Park in Maine.  It is well known for the beautiful morning vistas it offers at sunrise.  While somewhat remote, if you live in a small travel trailer – or an RV that is not overly sized – you should be able to easily locate a great viewing spot.

Pacific Coast Sunrise In Oregon RV Parks

If you favor the Pacific over the Atlantic oceans, there are many beautiful places to enjoy the Sunrise in Oregon and California. One great option is to locate a park on Mount Rainier.  Whilst Mt Rainier is not right on the coast, it does offer spectacular views if you are encamped high enough up the mountain. I can imagine few more gorgeous mornings than watching the sunrise from your Class C RV atop this mountain paradise.

Desert Southwest Sunrises in your Travel Trailer

You don’t need to be near the coast to experience great views in the early a.m. Desert states like New Mexico also offer great opportunities.  If you set up your travel trailer for a stay in the neighborhood of the Rockhound State Park, you have the potential to enjoy the morning sun illuminating the glorious New Mexico Capital Dome.

 

Whatever your aesthetic preferences, when you are living the RV life the opportunities to spend beautiful mornings enjoying wonderful sunrises are limited only the extent to which you are willing to travel to seek out the best views!

Is Your Hot Morning Shower Sabotaging Your Hair?

November 18th, 2011

What is the first thing you think about when you wake up?  Is it your morning cup of coffee, a brisk walk with your dogs?  Is it a relaxing, steamy shower before heading off to work for the day?  Maybe it’s your favorite news show or the daily newspaper that’s delivered to your door.

If you said that you’re dreaming of your morning shower, be aware of the fact that what might be great for waking up is actually terrible for the condition of your hair.

The thing is, when we take hot showers, the cuticles of the hair are opened up.  This is great if you want to get your shampoo deep into the hair and release built-up oils.  However, this can have a negative effect by prematurely stripping the hair of any color you may have used on it.  Not only that, but if the hair cuticles are open too long, you can strip away even the natural oils, leaving the hair brittle and dry.  If your hair is too dry, you may need to use additional hair care products, such as mira hair oil, to add back in what the hot shower has stripped away.

Depending on the condition of your hair, you may want to use hot (better to use warm) water briefly to make sure your shampoo is effective.  You can finish with cold water, which will seal in the moisture and lead to less frizzy hair (very important in the winter!).  One thing to watch out for is if you have very fine hair, using cold water on your hair too long can cause it to fall flat.

The next time you’re in the shower, before your turn on the water, think about how you want to treat your hair!

Love the Beatles

November 17th, 2011

The Beatles got it right with their song I’m Only Sleeping. There’s nothing like staying in bed and floating up stream! I love these lyrics. They inspire me and tell me I’m doing the right thing when I want a lie in.

When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I’m still yawning
When I’m in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don’t wake me, no
don’t shake me
Leave me where I am
I’m only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I’m lazy
I don’t mind, I think they’re crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find, there’s no need

Please don’t spoil my day
I’m miles away
And after all
I’m only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please don’t spoil my day
I’m miles away
And after all
I’m only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I’m still yawning
When I’m in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don’t wake me, no
don’t shake me
Leave me where I am
I’m only sleeping
