in A.M.

I love my sleep and until recently I didn’t use to sleep well and wake up feeling rubbish. Now I feel great every morning. I feel fresh and knowing that I had a good nights sleep means I can tackle the day head on. I will tell you what I believe to be the main cause of why I wasn’t sleeping well.

Stress – yes the most common cause for not sleeping well. If you are worried or stressed out then this will impact your sleep. I’m almost certain this is why I’ve not been sleeping properly.

Why was I stressed you may ask? Well like most people I’ve been struggling for Cash as everything is just so expensive at the moment. So after seeing those TV adverts about selling your gold items for cash, I decided to do a bit of research online. Anyway I had a load of old Gold Jewelery, so I requested this free Gold Sellers pack and sent off my gold in this pack to Sell Gold Jewelry and within 2 days I had the money in my account after I accepted this great offer. For now at least I don’t have these money worries and I can sleep better. My Mornings are like Gold now

My mornings used to be hell!  I was a bit of a wild one when I was younger and decided that what would be a top notch idea would be to get stars tattooed above my left eyebrow and a lightening bolt behind my right ear. I thought that it would set me apart from the crowd.  It certainly did.

Many people will agree that the best part of the day is when the sun begins to peep in the horizon, lighting up the sky, ushering in a brand new day. Every morning person will attest to that as they get off their beds and head drowsily to the kitchen towards to brew their first cup of coffee. The business case is this. Waking up very early in the morning ensures a productive day.

There are only 24 hours to a day — 12 hours of which have the sun shining and 12 hours don’t. If productivity is the issue then it makes sense to make the most of every day by waking up as early as the sun rises. A good morning routine would look something like this:

5AM. Wake up. Put on jogging clothes. Jog around the neighborhood for an hour. Daily exercise ensures a healthy body. It gets your blood flowing, which will energize you for the rest of the day.  In fact, studies show that people who regularly exercise require less sleep to stay awake through the day.

6AM. Arrive at home after the jog. Brew your first cup of coffee. Check the newspaper if it has arrived. Read the newspaper. Get an update about news about the country and the world. Read up on business updates. Drink coffee while reading the newspaper.

7AM. Pick the clothes to wear from your closet. Take a shower. Put on the clothes and go to the dining room for breakfast. Have breakfast.

8AM. Drive to work. Considering the rush hour traffic this is a perfect time to avoid it.

9AM. Arrive at work. Prepare for the tasks of the day.

With the schedule above, a great day is possible if a person is able to make the most of their mornings. It is important for a person’s well-being and health to start their day right. Having a set routine that includes exercise, a healthy breakfast, time that allow for other morning activities such as reading the papers and a leisurely bath ensures a hassle free life.

People don’t benefit from waking up late in the morning and doing a frantic dash to the office just to avoid being late. Why go through that when there is an option to plan it right and cruise along happily to work every day? All it takes is discipline and a commitment to a set of activities that ensure a productive day. Many disciplined morning person know that starting every day right is the answer to a healthy and satisfying life.

Morning are a tough thing for many people. I find they are especially tough for young professionals who are teetering on the line of fully dedicated to work and raging in the club every night. Truth be told age has a lot to do with it. I used to be able to stay out to all hours of the night then bounce back at be at work at 9am ready to attack the day. Now my routine goes a little bit different. Age has begun taking its toll. Now I wake up at 7am every morning. I tell my alarm to sleep about 10 times and then I finally trick myself into waking up. Then I shower, slam a 5 hour energy and get dressed. Lucky for me I dont have a work uniform so I can still rock my unique underground style. Once I am dressed I eat some carbs for breakfast then im off to work.  NOTE: everyone hates on carbs but they are a vital source of energy in AM.  I find that going to sleep early and sober drastically improve your ability to wake up and have a productive day. Maybe you youngsters can still drink every night and wake up without a hang over but I have had to change my lifestyle to adapt to my new work situation. Some people are morning people. If you are a morning person I am envious of you. Thank god for 5 hour energy and coffee otherwise I would prob still be sleeping right now. Hopefully some of you can relate to my lifestyle change. In the end, my life has improved and I am becoming the responsible adult my parents wanted me to be. Cheers!

The house is quiet, the only sound heard is the sputter of the espresso machine.  The only scent is the aroma of that first cup brewing in the air.

It’s time for morning coffee.

There is something special about that first cup of coffee in the morning to help you get your day rolling.  It doesn’t have to be a leisurely cup of coffee so long as you have just a few moments to ready yourself for the tasks ahead.  Coffee contains caffeine that helps to energize you in the morning.  It has also been shown to improve reaction time and memory in small amounts.  We rely on that cup of coffee to serve as our set point to rev us up for whatever we are facing for the day ahead.

The morning is always fraught with rushing, clamor and time tables.  A good cup of coffee can revive you from your sleep and get your brain moving to clear away all the clouds from the night before.  Everyone has their own morning procedure to perform before actually getting to that first sip.  Some of us have kids to get out the door for school, some of us are hurrying to get on the road to beat the traffic and few of us are lucky enough to actually be able to sit at a table and enjoy it from time to time.

The Monday through Friday morning coffee is different than the Saturday/Sunday morning coffee.  The weekend coffee at breakfast is savored, slow and relaxed.  The weekday coffee is paced, meant to get us moving to start our day.  The coffee routine and its role in our lives is our way of staring things off and getting ourselves mentally ready to wrap around our day.  It can be any flavor, espresso, plain or latte.

My morning routine is typically just that, routine. After waking up with a cup of tea, reading my daily news, and walking the dog I can then turn on my computer to check my emails. Most mornings my emails contain a few Facebook updates, or a message from my mother, but one morning I found a message from my sister.

This was odd for me. It was very rare to have a message from her. When I opened the email she went on and on about finding out about IVAs. So what is an IVA? It turns out an IVA is a great way to reduce your debt while being able to keep your home and other assets.

There are some restrictions and requirements in order to qualify for the IVA programs available. However, these restrictions are fairly limited and can help a majority of the people in need of assistance. I was very excited to have solved my financial issues just by opening up an email from my sister!

Overcoming jet lag, especially if you’ve been abroad for a lengthy amount of time can be somewhat difficult for most of us who are so used to a steady sleep cycle. Yet the fact of the matter is that we all go on travel holidays and finding information on this topic can be quite difficult to come by. I recently came back from a trip and have spoken with a friend who works in the travel industry to see what tips he can give to me that are most effective. My friend is basically a trip advisor and what he told me was somewhat surprising. He basically said the main reason why people adjust slowly is that when people wake up in the middle of the night after a long travel, they usually lie awake trying to sleep. What you should be doing is to get up and do something insanely boring like working on that next project of yours and right when your really sleepy, do a quick burst of sports like pull ups. This makes your body extremely tired and wanting to get more sleep. I’ve actually tried this and it works even though it sounds counter intuitive.

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.

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!

It 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.

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.

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.

When most people think of Foot Locker and using Foot Locker coupons they think about buying sneakers and athletic footwear. What they may not know if they have not been into a Foot Locker store for a while is that there are also a lot of shoes on offer that can be worn in “everyday life” as well, even some stylish and fashion forward enough that they can be worn to work

The chain carries shoes and boots for men from brand name makers like Timbaland and Lugz and even from designers like Steve Madden and Stacey Adams. For the ladies there are shoes for everyday wear, some smart enough even for the office,  from Clarks, Steve Madden, Birkenstock and many more in addition to a full range of stylish athletic footwear, athletic apparel and accessories. There are even great casual shoes for kids and babies so on a single trip to Foot Locker you can cover your whole family’s footwear needs!

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 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.

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.

There is one thing I do without fail every morning and that’s to give my face a thorough clean with my Clarisonic Pro. This gadget takes facial cleansing to another level. The brush is designed to be gentle yet thorough as it oscillates around 300 times per second removing six times as much dirt as normal cleaning.

If you use the Clarisonic regularly you will begin to notice that your pores are smaller, you have fewer lines and you possess a generally brighter complexion. You can also use the Clarisonic Pro on your body too which will smooth away rough, dry patches on your feet and elbows and any other problem spots.

Follow these simple steps and you’ll improve your skin in no time.

Step One:

Splash your face with cool water and apply a quarter sized amount of your chosen cleanser on your forehead nose and cheeks.

Step Two:

Turn your Clarisonic on and gently move the brush in circular motions starting with the forhead before moving on to the nose cheeks and chin. Do not apply too much pressure. The timer on the Clarisonic will let you know when it is time to move on to the next section of your face.

Step Three:

Rinse your face with water s to remove all traces of cleanser.

Step Four:

Using a clean towel, gently pet your skin dry.

Step Five:

Apply a gentle toner on your skin before finishing off with your favourite moisturizer.

So, you have already finished the medical assistant training without too much sweat. What do you plan now? Are you planning to get certified and take the required examination for medical assistants? I often ask myself these questions when I wake up. It keeps me motivated!

Then, if your answer is a sure “Yes”, then don’t take this exam like it’s just a piece of cake. You have to pass the exam in order to be certified and become an ideal candidate for employment and take your medical assistant career to the next level.

Well, just got here 5 key pointers for you to follow as you make an early preparation for your pending medical assistant examination:

1. Avail a copy of the CMA exam outline

The very first step that you have to do is download a copy of the CMA examination outline through the internet by going to the website of the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA). The outline will provide you an entire scope of all the subjects that you will need to review like: medical terminology, anatomy and psychology.

2. Practice the sample test exam

Your next step is to take the sample test exam from the internet. Grab this opportunity to get an actual feel of the exam by doing it repeatedly until you master the entire process and get familiar with all the questions and correct answers.

3. Enroll in a review course program

You also need to enroll for a CMA exam review course. Find the best review center located in your area or join group studies of other medical assistant’s organizations who can help you prepare for the big day itself, the actual exam.

4. Go back to the outline

Your fourth step that you have to do is go back to the exam outline and verify again all the subjects that you need to concentrate in reviewing. Make use of all available review materials and other resources that you have at the moment and focus on these key areas. Never stop reviewing until you are 100% sure you have them all in your mind.

5. Strictly follow a good study habit

Your last and final step is to follow a strict schedule in your review regimen. Never put aside your intended CMA review schedule. Make sure that you set a specific timeframe in any day to review all the required topics for the exam.

Stay focus on what you have to achieve and that is to pass the medical assistant certification exam with flying colors. Highly organize yourself and soon you will enjoy a rewarding career as a medical assistant.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Search engine optimization is a term that you may have heard of, but never really understood its meaning. This article will briefly explain the concept to improve your understanding of the term. To make it simple, search engine optomization is a way to make your website rank higher in the results of a query on a search engine. The important thing to remember is that there is no single method. Instead there are several methods that one can employ.

It is important to find and SEO company that has a wide ranges of SEO services because new SEO methods are developed all the time, making it a rapidly evolving concept. The algorithms that are used by search engines are always changing. For this reason, it is difficult to determine what a particular engine is looking for to rank your site high. The best option is to design a website that is full of relevant content in order to obtain relevant top search engine ranking. It is important that everything on your website pertains to the product or service that you are offering on that site.

It is not beneficial to post an article about quilting if your site is about shoes. Make sure that your target audience’s interests and potential questions are addresses with the content on your website. This will ensure that your site will appear on queries relevant to your business or service. It might not ensure that your rank will be high but you will draw the correct traffic. Selecting relevant keywords is just as important as selecting relevant content. Do not litter your site with a million keywords. Instead carefully select a few and use them in prime places such as on descriptions of photos. This will encourage a webcrawler to select your site as a legitimate site with valid information. Too many keywords will have just as negative of an effect as none at all so be careful with this method.

Byzantine design was original, powerful and lavish. It was long lived and broad based, lasting until the Turkish conquest of Constantinople in 1453. Although it had been called the peak of the Early Christian Style, the Byzantine departed from both Early Christian and classical precedents. Under the emperor of Justinian, the basilica model was changed to a centrally planned church with vaulted roofs and a dome above the crossing. Whether you are in Byzantine looking  at architecture or st george real estate there is a great history.

The most luxuriously decorated of all Byzantine buildings is St. Mark’s. This basilican church was built in 864 to hold the body of St. Mark. Construction of the church began in 1063 and was finished in 1085. Decoration and additions continued for centuries however.

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. Byzantine character is seen throughout.

In 313 Christianity was officially recognized by Constantine. By 326 it became an official religion of the Roman Empire. Its Capital was based in Byzantium (renamed Constantinople). They adopted Roman characteristics

What are the benefits of early morning exercise?

I think I’ve found the best shampoo for hair loss…

I’m a thirty-something female suffering from severe hair thinning.  As you can imagine, this had me very depressed but not anymore!

When I now wake up in the morning, I can’t wait to start my morning routine.  I hop in a warm shower and wash my hair with Perfect Image shampoo.  I consider this to be the best shampoo for hair loss as I’ve seen significant hair re growth since I started using this about two and a half months ago.

After my shower, I towel dry my hair and then I apply my 3% Monoxide to my scalp using the glass dropper that came with the bottle of Monoxide.  This topical solution is massaged into my scalp using my fingers and then I simply style my hair using my hair dryer.

Even though I know that this regime will be my morning regime for the rest of my life, I don’t mind as I feel on top of the world now that I’ve found a solution to my hair loss that actually works!

Dealing with Hepatitis and other liver diseases means responding to the symptoms that express when you don’t feel well along with fighting off new attacks. This involves treating inflammation, supporting liver health and strengthening your immune system. Many people find that a variety of natural supplements help them achieve these goals.

Treatment must focus on reducing inflammation. This is a common physiological response to hepatitis. In addition a way is needed to limit the virus. The goal is locking the source virus into a neutral mod or location. Last, but certainly not least, the liver needs to regenerate and be protected from further damage.

Many of the herbs and foods recommended for natural healing are drawn from centuries of use and study. Although that research may not be based on modern techniques there is also the benefit of much accumulated time and expertise. Each of the following supplements offers different options for healing.

Cordyceps is known in the West as a medicinal mushroom and its use has a long history in Traditional Chinese medicine as well as Traditional Tibetan medicine. It supports the immune system so it can be a great help to those who deal with Hepatitis. Typically this herb is gentle and also improves energy levels without the problems of caffeine, so you get even more benefits from the supplement.

Licorice is another herbal supplement frequently recommended for those with Hepatitis. It is considered beneficial because it helps limit hepatitis so that is stays within cells rather than reproducing and spreading through your system. This allows you to heal and recuperate. There is one consideration for using this herb, however. It does tend to deplete potassium levels, so offset this problem by increasing your potassium intake through more bananas or other sources. If you have nay health problems related to kidney health licorice may not be a good choice for your situation.

Milk Thistle can also be of great value to patient with hepatitis. When taken as a supplement it helps the liver become healthy. This can also increase the growth of healthy tissue while protecting from further damage. As an additional benefit, milk thistle is effective at combating nausea.

Ligustrum is an extract made from small trees often used as shrubs. The plant is also known as privet. This supplement helps those with hepatitis due to its immune relationship. Ligustrum helps reduce inflammation overall and builds up the immune system as well.

These are just a few options available to those who seek a natural path. You want to be sure and work with someone who can guide you. Many individuals with Hepatitis are also taking prescription medications. Interactions between supplements and drugs can occur. For safety and your best results it is beneficial to have an expert who can assist you on creating an effective plan.

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!

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!

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.

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.

One of the things that I love the most is having a nice glass of juice every morning. Preferably before everyone wakes up; that for me is one of the most precious moments anyone can have. This technique of waking up a bit earlier than usual is a great one and one that I highly recommend; if you want to know more about it you can check Leo Babauta’s site for more info. But I digress; let’s talk about some great recipes that you can have in the morning!

If you are new to the whole juicing thing and you want to take a shift to living a healthier lifestyle but don’t know where to start, you could always look for simple juice recipes that you can use to prepare your juices in the morning. It is best to try the simple recipes first so you will get an idea of how to do it and eventually experiment more juicing recipes. This will be a greater way to be introduced to juicing.

Juice Benefits

One of the benefits you get from juicing is the chance to experiment and try things on your own. Obviously that is way easier if you have a fine juicer like a Breville 800JEXL which you can then use to prepare some delicious drinks at the comfort of your own house. You can always combine fruits and vegetables the way you want it or just mix different fruits. Your taste buds may be new to juicing but eventually, you will get more excited the longer you get into it. It is understandable that you don’t want to take on green vegetables during your starter period, so it is best to have a little combination with fruits first. Below are some of the simple juice recipes you can try. These are just simple juice recipes, so you may not find it difficult to prepare them in an instant.

• The Liver Mover. To prepare this, you will need 2-3 carrots and beet.
• Carrot/Apple Juice. To prepare this, you will need 6 carrots and 2 apples.
• Evening Regulator. To prepare this, you will need 2 apples and 1 pear.
• Bromelain Special. To prepare this, you will need pineapple (with its skin, just unscrew top and throw it away), grapefruit or orange. The three oranges and 1 grapefruit should be peeled.
• Holiday cocktail. To prepare this, you will need 2 apples, 1 large bunch of grapes and 1 slice of lemon with peel.
• Digestive special. To prepare this, you will need a handful of spinach with 6 carrots.
• Body Cleanser. To prepare this, you will need 4 carrots, cucumber and 1 beet.

When you go on holiday to Thailand the temptation is often to stay up late at night drinking and having fun. The weather is great at night. The heat has gone out of the day and it is pleasantly cool. Moreover, in the evening there are usually several bars serving cocktails and cold beers that go down very easily after a day on the beach or a day site seeing. In many of the beach locations the 1am drink curfew is conveniently ignored and you can carry on drinking until they eventually kick you out of the bar or club in the wee hours of the morning.

This is no doubt great fun, but you can miss out on several morning activities if you snooze all morning, especially in a place like Khao Lak.

Khao Lak is on the Andaman Coast just north of Phuket. It is not a party area. Khao Lak accommodation is more geared for couples and families than party animals anyway. Khao Lak is a place packed with things to do in the day, and especially in the morning before it gets too hot. There are 3 golf courses to enjoy. There is also Khao Lak Lamru National Park that has some impressive waterfalls to visit, jungle trails to follow and some stunning beach to enjoy.

The other great draw to the Khao Lak region is the World famous Similan and Surin Islands just off the coast. You have to get up early to do day trips out to the islands for either snorkeling or diving. Lots of people do 3 or 4 days diving around the islands. They live on a boat and also get up early in the morning.

Other interesting places to visit in the wider Phang-Nga area are Koh Panyi (a floating island) and James Bond Island (featured in the Man With the Golden Gun). Around the Phang-Nga Bay area are many strange karst rocks and mountains that are great for caving and sea kayaking.

In short, unless you get up early in the morning in Khao Lak you won’t be making the most of your holiday.

Ok so maybe we shouldn’t be encouraging everyone to have a glass of wine in the morning.  Sure there are certain health benefits, but a cup of coffee is probably more appropiate given most of us have to drive to work right?

One thing I’ve found that is difficult when it comes to wine and the morning, is shopping for wine gift baskets.  Probably because we don’t expect people to drink that early I am finding that although I work noon-9pm every day, that shopping for wine gift baskets is a real challenge.  Most wine stores don’t open until 10am at the earliest! It’s pretty frustrating for someone who loves shopping as much as I do.

Without a doubt when Apartment hunting, always search in the morning.

There are always places to live, there is always new property to rent on the market. But all the listings freshly appear by 8 AM in the morning every morning. Multiple-listing services allow you to view these these flats much easier than by traditional methods. All you have to do is logon and before you at 8 AM are all the days enlistments. It’s quite amazing to see them all post at once occasionally. Occasionally there are brokers who upload their content later in the day, the more common practice is to set up appointments after  viewing listings submitted the morning.

The day of a real estate broker tends to start after those listings are posted, only then can a viewing for your most recent listings be seen. There are lots of options available to buyers all day available online. But the best leads come from the multiple listing service your broker has available to her every day. Every morning for the uploads are sifted through to find what you’re looking for, and hopefully start a deal.

There is a major difference when a professional is handling the search. They have access to a service, with not only more listings, but in a format that allows for shorthand. Meaning a broker can glean a lot of information while looking at only one screen. The skills that these brokers have honed over years of the job. will serve you well when it comes to the search. from the moment the broker finds the listing, it is now your job to become the human lie detector. Now the most important thing between you and your broker is trust. Will my broker give me all the info or will they hold back key info for fear of scaring us off? These are the real human issues at the heart of real-estate deals.

Imagine a job in which technology satisfies art! If you have excellent imaginative tips and also have the same passion for technology, you could have identified your market in daily life being a web developer. A new web design system will give you the courses required to work for corporate web sites in which these types of sites have become an indispensable and also essential instrument regarding modern day marketing and advertising employees. All this offers bring about an extremely huge demand for people especially skilled income successfully connect a great business’ information to the target audience.

However it needs to make any difference to you since it implies that down the road, you’re beholden for them for every element of your own website design templates. So sometimes you’re saddled with the broken as well as outdated web design or perhaps you do have a website that you’ve simply no use of or you have to chew the particular round and also pay out to possess a alternative site. Website design education entails mastering the necessary expertise and knowledge needed to create visuals as well as expensive animation to the web, in addition to organizing as well as creating compelling interactive web sites.

The idea started to be quite evident that whenever you appear consequently near to losing almost everything, that you simply appreciate items additional and also, a lot less. Way less, in that you can find elements of your lifetime any time you truly appear better, see that they need changing- because expending life sad, is often a lifestyle unfulfilled sufficient reason for regrets inside my new viewpoint. Most likely you’ll also pay out less for your internet hosting as compared to you would with a few with the free of charge or even allegedly cheap possibilities. 

Having the right morning routine really does make a difference to my whole day.  As a work at home dad I still like to rise early – usually 5:45 so I can have a nice workout before I have to get the kids up, ready and dropped off at school.  Not only that but I have to eat my breakfast before seven, no matter what is happenning with the kids.  If I get the workout and eating done and out of the way I find it is a lot easier to stay calm and focused on getting the kids off to school whilst my wife gets up and dashes off to her high powered job as chief exec of a mid sized company.

I think the type of exercise I do makes a huge difference too.  I tried to do early morning yoga for a while and it did leave me feeling nicely stretched and calm but recently I have been trying to get my heart rate going a little more and it makes me feel great.  I have just purchased the Concept2 indoor rower which I use in my garage and it has been a revelation.  If I don’t fancy that for any reason then I get on the exercise bike for a mid length high intensity ride.  I would like to run more but my knees just can’t handle the impact so I stick with the rowing and riding and I feel great for it!

As an attorney, I constantly have things running through my mind, ranging from docket notices to power of attorney forms to injunctions.  The hour before I leave for work in the morning is my sacred time, during which I get my head around my tasks for the day.  I usually don’t arrive home in the evenings until 9 or 10 p.m., so my morning hour is a cherished part of my day.

How does my sacred hour go?  Well, as soon as I climb out of bed, I drink a glass of room temperature water with fresh-squeezed lemon.  This invigorates me more than coffee and clears my mind.  I then do something I learned on a blog called Zenhabits — I set my three most important tasks of the day.  By writing these three important tasks down, it gives me a laser sharp focus on what needs to be done that day and helps me view a lot of the other daily stressors as simple “noise.”

Next, I take a relaxing bath — yes, bath.  It completely relaxes me, all 30 minutes of it, and gets me ready to start the day.  By the time I’m done, my sacred hour is up and I feel entirely ready to get dressed and ready for the day.  At this point I usually start to think about at least one of my most important tasks of the day.  By the time I’m at work, I’m focused and ready to go.

One way to make yourself feel better for dragging yourself out of bed at an unearthly hour, and then having to do a mundane and soul destroying job for 8 hours is to do something good for the world. It is in the nature of most people that sacrifice becomes less painful when it is for a good cause.

One of the best causes is the drive to help the environment. The situation is getting more dire by the year. The amount of carbon in the air is increasing, species are dying out more rapidly, resources are becoming depleted, the air, sea and soil is becoming more polluted, and in short, man’s activity seems to be screwing up the environment. The killing irony being that when we destroy the environment we destroy ourselves.

I don’t lose sleep about this because I take the most green type of transport to work: I ride a bamboo bicycle to work. I made it myself. A friend gave me the bamboo poles and I made a bicycle frame from them, joining them with hemp and epoxy resin. The rest of the parts I bought.

It took a while to make; and of course, I made plenty of mistakes. But now I have a 3 gear bamboo bike to ride to work. It reduces the amount of metal used to make a bike. It creates zero carbon emissions. And of course when the frame gets damaged it is very easy to repair with a new piece of bamboo.

I’m now waiting for somebody to invent a bamboo car so I don’t have to ride my bamboo bicycle to work in the winter!

One way to simplify your morning makeup routine is to eliminate the need to apply eyebrows, eyeliner and lipstick by having makeup applied once and for all – permanently. This can be done by micropigmentation specialists who professionally create natural-looking eyebrows, using hairstroke and shading techniques involving the use of electronic equipment and pigments, so that brows needn’t be drawn-on daily, and by having eyeliner applied permanently, for either a dramatic or natural look, and by getting lip liner and blended pigments permanently tattooed on the lips to eliminate the need for lipstick. Yes, it’s possible to wake up with your makeup already in place – smudge-proof eyebrows, water resistant eyeliner, and lip color that enhances thickness and can even camouflage small wrinkles around the mouth. Permanent cosmetic tattooing can help women simplify their morning routine by providing makeup that will last 1 and 3 years, or longer, and doesn’t require reapplying throughout the day.

What about the cost? Permanent makeup prices are reasonable, but anyone who says that getting eyebrow tattoos, permanent eyeliner or a cosmetic lip tattoo will save money on makeup probably doesn’t realize that women buy eyeliner, brow pencils and lipstick once or twice a year, which isn’t a big deal. Although makeup costs are minimal, the time spent applying it and fussing over brows, eyes and lips is not insignificant. Getting permanent makeup isn’t about saving money but about saving time and about having perfect eyebrows, defined eyes and plump youthful lips everyday. It’s about waking up with makeup! With that in mind, permanent makeup prices are indeed affordable. Most procedures cost $375 – $525 on average. It’s possible to get special permanent makeup prices on packaged deals. How? When scheduling procedures for eyes, brows and lips at the same time, some experts offer a discount, sometimes up to a couple hundred dollars off what you would have to pay if each procedure were scheduled individually.

DO NOT bargain shop for the very lowest cheap permanent makeup prices you can find online. Instead, look for recommended specialist who charge at least $375 – $400 per procedure. The only exception is if you want a single upper or lower eyeliner – that may only cost $275 – $325. Your priority should be finding a certified, experienced cosmetician, technician or micropigmentation experts that will provide top quality hygienic procedures in a clinical environment using the latest equipment and quality pigments.

I’m a nature lover and spend lots of time watching nature shows on the TV.  But sometimes I forget that all this stuff is happening outside my living room.  Ok so I can’t have the dulcet tones of David Attenborough explaining the mating rituals of the Madagascar Love Parrot, but sometimes my humble, little back garden is a fantastic place to be in the morning.

Yesterday it was beautiful morning and I found myself sitting outside in the sun.  The reason I was there was purely because I couldn’t wait to try out my new garden toy – a device dubbed ’simply the best’ on a lawnmower review site I had stumbled upon.  Unfortunately I had realised that I was likely to get some abuse from my neighbours if I started mowing my lawn at 7:00 AM in the morning so was forced to just sit.

I settled in the corner on a garden seat with a hot cup of coffee and watched the comings and goings in my garden.  Waves of starlings, chaffinchs and colorful blue Tits came and frequented my feeding station.  A young woodpecker tapped out a call on an old Oak tree in the distance. Then I spotted the gang of Squirrels who come and raid my bird table every morning.  It was wonderful to watch all the ’nature traffic ’ my little garden received – I really had no idea.  So get out there and enjoy the monring in your garden!

Waking up and having a cigarette is something that a lot of smokers do as soon as they wake up. Many don’t even wait until they are out of bed, I know this because I was one of those people. Lighting up first thing in the morning whilst sitting in bed with a half full ashtray next to me actual seemed normal all those years ago, looking back now it was pretty disgusting!

I found an alternative to my morning cigarette though, which I still had, just not in bed! A friend introduced me to the electronic cigarette and a brand in particular called The Safe Cig. I wasn’t so sure at first but after using the e-cig for just two days I was converted. There is no smell, no ash and not butts lying around stinking my apartment out, using The Safe Cig coupon code my friend gave me I now buy these on a regular basis completely replacing my tobacco cigarettes. To add to the other pluses I am also spending a lot less money every month as a result of the switch.

Are you a morning smoker? Seriously, try the electronic cigarette as an alternative, it makes a huge difference for the better.

I’m not an early riser by nature. This is partly due to the fact that I work nights. When I finish work I cannot go straight to bed; instead, I have to stay up for a while and unwind with a drink. It makes life more worth living as there is nothing worse than feeling that you are merely existing rather than living. It used to be so different when I was living in Koh Samui.

I used to be a teacher on the tropical Thai island at an international school. I stayed in a cheap apartment near Chaweng beach. Every morning I used to naturally wake up before my alarm clock rang. I would grab a cup of coffee and a piece of fruit and then I would jump on my bike and head down the beach. Swimming in the sea at 7am before all the tourists were up was magical. It made me feel alive, it made me feel that I was not wasting my life, but really living it. Normally, the sea was warm and comforting. Whether wavy or calm I would swim about 1km and jog back down the beach to my bike.

I would then go back to my apartment grab a shower and head off to work. I never really planned my lessons. My good mood always gave me an idea for some topic or exercise from the book. I’m a firm believer that the best teachers are those that don’t feel stressed. They give off the impression to their students that learning is fun and relaxing.

I did that job for 2 glorious years. Now I have to drag myself out of bed in the morning and commute to work. Frankly I hate it, despite the salary being better. I miss those mornings on Chaweng beach in Koh Samui.

Few things go together worse than alcohol and the morning.

That is, of course, unless we\’re talking about Mamosa\’s or even Bloody Mary\’s.  Have you ever had a glass of wine with breakfast? Heck, my French friends even think the idea is ridiculous.

The morning can be helpful when you are shopping for a wine gift though.  Many retail stores, even wine stores, are required to be open by a certain time based on where they are located.  Your neighborhood mall is notorious for having rules like this.

Unlike other times of the day, shopping for your wine gift in the morning when the store first opens is going to most likely give you the undevided attention and help of the sales staff.  When you\’re shopping for a wine gift, that is usually a really, really good thing.

There is no better way to start the morning than with an ice cold glass of orange juice from the refrigerator.  Orange juice is both delicious and nutritious, and is a great way to pick up your energy levels prior to your mornings exercise.

Personally, I like to sip on orange juice while I prepare a slice of toast.  Once the toast is ready i skim the first couple of pages of the newspaper while I break my fast.  Once my meal is complete I will take off for my morning jog.  I do not run a long way – only 30 minutes – but the energy from the orange juice makes it much easier.  When I exercise without that early morning pick me up I always feel sluggish at first.

Even if you do not like oranges, there are plenty of other juices you can enjoy.  I keep pineapple juice in the refrigerator for my wife, as she much prefers the taste of refrigerated pineapple over orange.   Each to their own, right?

A well stocked refrigerator is key to a healthy lifestyle, and a healthy lifestyle starts by beginning each day with a nutritious meal and a bout of exercise!

It is so hard to get up in the morning for me. That is because it is already hard enough for me to get to sleep. I have tried taking melatonin in order to help me get to sleep, but it has not helped very much.

So having to get up is really a strain. I know, it is not like a whiplash or something, but I have resulted to going with two alarms in order to prevent me from sleeping through the time I should be awake by.

I set my alarm clock to about 20 minutes before I truly need to get up in order to give me a warning. That way I feel like I am getting extra sleep in the morning even though I am really not. Then I set my cell phone alarm to the time I need to be up by. Often I set it to play a loud enough song to force me to wake up.

I am like most people in that I hate waking up in the morning. No matter how early I go to bed at night, I never wake up early in the morning feeling fresh as the proverbial daisy. My day starts at 7am during the week. I really wish it didn’t; but, until I become a millionaire I see no other choice.

There is one thing that I’ve started to do that makes my morning recovery just that little bit better. I now drink coconut water every morning with my breakfast. I buy vita coco 100% pure coconut water. It tastes slightly tangy but I like it.

I have been doing  research about coconuts: coconut types, coconut products, coconut health benefits, coconut environmental credentials etc. and I’ve discovered coconuts are truly remarkable.

Take for instance coconut water. It contains more essential electrolytes for re-hydration than any other sports drink. It is high in potassium, sodium, magnesium etc. Athletes drink coconut water after work outs. Coconut water also contains lauric acid that is a proven antimicrobial agent that helps protect the body against viral infection. Moreover, coconut water is an exact match with human blood plasma. In short, coconut water is the best thing for human health.

In the morning it helps me increase my liquid intake, it replenishes lost electrolytes and it gives me protection against catching a cold and other viral diseases. At the weekend coconut water helps me to shake off my hang over quicker.

I still hate waking up in the morning, but now I feel healthier by the time I get to the office. All because of coconut water.

I’ve noticed that for me (and I suspect for many other people) I have the very best dreams just before I wake up. This is no doubt one of the main reasons why the alarm clock going off is a most irritating intrusion on a blissful state. Sometimes my dream is so enthralling and insistent that it manages to incorporate the alarm sound into the dream and I don’t wake up for several beeps.

I have never understood people who say they don’t dream. Science is on my side. We all dream. Dogs dream. Babies dream. Just because you can’t remember your dreams doesn’t mean that you don’t dream.

I have one recurring dream that I love. I’m on Thong Nai Pan Noi beach. It’s the middle of a very hot summer’s day. The beach is empty. The sea is as calm as a mill pond. Butterflies flit over the surface. There’s not a cloud in the sky. I go into the water. It’s warm like a bath. I sit in the shallows on the sandy sea bed and look at the palm trees lining the beach. I look up at the tree covered mountains. I look up farther and see eagles gliding in the thermals. I feel ultimately content. Happy to be alone.

At that moment a big shaggy beach dog comes out of nowhere. He trots through the water and sits down next to me.

It’s at that moment I usually wake up. After turning off my alarm clock. I pause. I wish I was back on Thong Nai Pan Noi beach in Koh Phangan. It’s surely one of the most idyllic spots in the world. I’ve been many times, and perhaps that is why I can imagine it so vividly in my dreams.
