A Haribo Surprise

Friday, December 5th, 2008

It’s that time of year again. Time to bring out the candy holders, fill them up with goodies from Haribo and the like, and then enjoy. We do it every year, it’s just that this time around I’ve got everything out a bit earlier than usual. Why? Well, i couldn’t help it! Everyone loves to have a few candies every now and then, and even though we know that they aren’t that good for us, the taste is quite frankly -addictive.

How do you mitigate against this unhealthiness? Well, my advice would be to increase the amount of exercise you do over thecelebratory seasons. Additionally, keep a tally of your candy consumption. I know, its hilarious, but it actually works. All too often we pop off to the cupboard or table, grab a few Haribo candies, and gobble them down thinking how innocent they are. For some reason, 20 minutes later we have forgotten about our previous”quick” candy consumption, and go back for more. At the end of the day, you are left wondering where on earth all that candy went! “It was the dog”, or “well, there weren’t many in the pack to begin with”, are all common excuses.

The key: moderation. It’s the best way to go.

The History of Staples

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Staples - who would think that I could write a whole piece on this one stationery supply alone? Well, lets give it a try shall we? The humble staple apparently dates all the way back to the 6th Century, where it was used for something completely different than its common use today. The original use was in fact for holding rocks together, and proof of this has been found in ancient masonry works throughout the world.
Clearly then, they were not the same as the “staples” we have come to know and use regularly today. The modern day staple and home stapler originated much later than the previous, alternativeversion, in 1877, and was patented at this time also. As far as the usefulness of office supplies go, the staple is most definitely one of the top contenders. It is responsible for maintaining order on your desk, reducing clutter, and ensuring that material to be presented is kept together in the correct order, allowing for ample readability and ease by the receiver.

All in all, not the most exciting history or topic to write on. But, if the staple has done so much to prevent our working lives from descending in to chaos, I say we owe the little stationery supplies such as this one, just a few moments in the limelight.

Worthy Cases

Friday, September 26th, 2008

A case is just as important as the object its holding. In fact a case is what can be feasibly seen, not the object inside. Be it a watch case or a jewelry box or cigar humidors; what comes to mind is home dcor material apart from the obvious reason that it is a holder.

While taking a watch case we must keep in mind that the case must have a cushioned pillow and a proper hinge. Added attachments can be along the lines of a proper latching mechanism and a pure leather material. Most companies use faux leather which is a cheap unviable substitute to the original leather. In fact the margin for profit for an exquisite watches case is lesser than the cheaper ones. This though is a trade secret. From here on the beautifully crafted automatic watches should not be left deprived of a befitting case.

Similarly, jewelry boxes can be highly embellished and crafted in detail with a generous application of color. It can be made to look glitzy or given a matt finish as consumers can have varied preferences. The cases can be encrusted with beautiful semi-precious stones just as well.

Organic Baby Care

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Once you know that you are expecting a baby, creating a place for your new baby is one of the first things you will want to do. A natural nursery filled with eco friendly baby furniture, organic baby bedding and organic skin care products is a great way to begin. Before bringing your baby home be sure to load up on organic cloth diapers.

Cloth diapers help keep disposable ones out of the landfill and can be better for babys skin because they do not contain the chemicals disposable diapers do. Using organic cloth diapers helps save money as well because you are reusing them instead of tossing them in the trash. Organic baby care is something you will want to discuss with your ob-gyn during your pregnancy and with the babys pediatrician.

Ask if the hospital you will be delivering in offers an option between conventional products and organic products. If not, ask if you can bring your own organic baby skin care products for use on your baby. Also inquire about organic baby formula. If you want to start your baby on organic baby formula this may be something you will have to provide.

As your baby begins to grow choosing organic baby food is going to be your next choice. Organic baby food is healthier and does not contain all the chemical toxins conventional baby food does. Parents who choose to use only organic baby products have the peace of mind that their baby is getting the very best products and none of the toxic chemicals found in traditional products that could harm their baby.
