Awesome Christmas Tips
There's no bigger holiday around than Christmas. With our helpful tips, you will make this holiday season a memorable one.
- Get creative with Christmas gift wrapping. You can really spruce up your package by applying festive patterns to make gift giving more enjoyable while adding sentimental value. Consider using cut-outs from tissue paper, construction paper, doilies, etc. This is both fun and light on the pockets when considering the expenses of purchasing wrapping paper. To "wrap" it all up, personalize each package with a note for that special person!
- Fireproof your Christmas Tree. Mix 1 cup ammonium sulfate, 1 half cup of boric acid and 2 tablespoons or borax into one gallon of water. Spray down the tree with this solution and pour the remainder into the basin of the tree stand.
- Dodge the woes of Christmas shopping. Always avoid weekends. Although the marketing of sales are geared toward the weekends, promotional events generally extend throughout the weekdays. Don't let the hype of a "weekend" sale deceive you into a frenzy of looking for a parking spot and waiting in exhausting checkout lines. Do your Christmas shopping early and you will reap the benefits of stumbling across bargains for quality items- remember quality over quantity!
- Spice up your party. Avoid the typical, bland holiday gathering by organizing your party around a theme, such as "Christmas Past" or "Twelve Days of Christmas." Plan foods around your theme and encourage guests to dress the part.
- Get in the mix. Try online Christmas shopping. The benefits of shopping online often include faster service, immediate attention to "out-of-stock" merchandise, tax-free purchases, and free-shipping. Online Christmas shopping often opens up opportunities to receiving special promotion prices and products that aren't readily available to "in-store" customers. How much more convenient than shopping in the comfort of your own home get?
- Send a Christmas letter. Tired of Christmas cards? Change it up by sending your friends and relatives a brief letter highlighting your year. Keep your letter light-hearted and entertaining. Those receiving the letter will appreciate a break from the Christmas card routine. This is also one of the few socially acceptable ways to boast about your own accomplishments.
- Consider LED Christmas lights. In recent years, LED Christmas lights have gained popularity for several reasons. The cost efficiency of LED lights has been proven to be much more beneficial than normal lights. The amount of energy used in LED Christmas lights is much less than that of traditional lights, which will save you money on your electricity bill. Though the initial cost of LED lights is slightly higher, the lifespan of LED lights compensate for the cost- you will no longer need to worry about spending money on replacing lights every year!
- Keep all receipts throughout the holiday season. Always save receipts for the conventional reason of returning items. Aside from that, there is nothing more important than keeping a budget of how much spending was done during a very costly and busy time of year. By reflecting on your purchases that range from expenses for Christmas parties, presents, cards, driving, decorations, etc., needless spending and ways to cut costs may be beneficial for the following holiday seasons.
- With the economy the way it is, if you buy any gift cards for christmas gifts make sure they are from a stable company that is going to be around when its time to use the cards. Because the stores more than likely will not issue refunds for gift cards if they have closed.
- Shop for Christmas gifts all year 'round! Keep a notebook with the names of the persons for whom you are buying and buy the gifts when they're on special! Then write in the item purchased and when you bought it before you stash the gifts away. Not only do you save money all year, you can also jot down notes on what they like (and what they don't). Best of all, you can keep track of for whom you've bought–and keep from accidentally buying gifts for the same person or persons twice!
- In the 1950′s, a major flour and cake-mix manufacturer used the ad slogan "Nothin' says lovin' like something from the oven." Still true! For nearly 30 years, I have given my immediate family members (and through the years, many co-workers) homemade banana bread based on my mother's recipe (which was also my grandmother and great-grandmother's recipe!). It takes a little time, but it costs very little to make dozens of loaves of bread, and my family still appreciates the memory of their mother/grandmother's banana bread. In fact, one family member once summed it up this way: "It just isn't Christmas without Uncle Charlie's banana bread."
- Sooner or later it happens to all of us–we get a gift that we really don't like or can't use. Some of us "regift" the item–that is, pass it on as a gift for another occasion–but if you do, be careful about how you regift it. Avoid sending the gift on to a family member–or worse yet, to the family member who gave it to you in the first place! If you know of someone outside your immediate family who can use or would like the gift, send it on to him or her instead. Better yet, donate the unwanted gift to a charitable group or organization.
- Set a budget and make a list in advance so you don't get off track and forget what your shopping for. This will help you to save money, instead of running to the store with your credit card and impulse shopping.
- Save your reciepts for at least 90 days after your purchase just in case you have a faulty/defective gift, missing a part, or a wrong size You can also get gift reciepts to give to the recipient as well.
- Don't forget to remove the price tags/stickers off the items before you wrap the package.
- Take advantage of "AFTER CHRISTMAS SALES" to get supllies and gifts for next year. You can get some nice gifts and extra christmas supplies for up to 75% for 2-3 weeks after christmas.
- Shop online and avoid the Christmas traffic and lines. Most online retailers have discounts on shipping or other discounts to offset the shipping charges, and if the retailer doesn't have a store in your state you can avoid paying sales tax as well.
- Shop in off-peak hours and avoid weekends. Most stores have extended hours for the Christmas holiday by opening earlier and closing later. Get up and go early in the morning or late at night. This will help avoid the long lines and busy isles.
- If you are visiting family for the holidays and have issues in your life (i.e. bankruptcy, illness, filing for divorce, etc.), unless it is absolutely unavoidable, this is NOT the time to bring any of these things up for discussion! Try to find a more suitable time that you can discuss these things in better surroundings where you have more time to think and concentrate. If you must bring these subjects up, find a time and place to do it where you have as much privacy as possible.
- Make sure you do your online Christmas shopping earlier than later! Like retail stores, online stores can run out of stock when it gets closer to Christmas.
- If you brought home a live Christmas tree make sure you remember to water it so it stays fresh and green while you have it in your home.
- Use caution when decorating your house with Christmas lights. If you are on a ladder and especially if you are on the roof, make sure you have someone spotting you in case you slip and fall, or even need an extra hand.
- It's not all about the presents. The greatest gift you can give someone is the gift of unconditional "love".
- With the seemingly never-ending series of postage increases in recent years, you should take a serious second look at your Christmas card list. Granted, the Postal Service and the greeting-card companies may not like it, but if you're sending cards to friends and relatives who haven't responded in more than two years, you're throwing away the cost of the card as well as the postage stamp itself. You may want to drop such people from your list. Check to see if they're using e-mail or some other social media to send holiday greetings. If they are, follow suit and you'll save money on both stamps and cards. If they don't have access to e-mail or social media, double-check their addresses (particularly older friends and relatives) and update accordingly; I have had family members who have had to move into retirement homes or care centers between Christmases and found out they missed the card and the contact.
Great Tips for Father's Day
Father's Day is the day for you let your dad see how much he means to you. So, use some of the tips below to make the day even more special.
- You don't need to plan a huge celebration to let your dad know just how much he means to you. Sometimes it means more just to spend the day with him doing a hobby that he loves – even if you don't.
Even dads like breakfast in bed. It does not have to be an elaborate meal – especially if you have kids underfoot. Just a hot cup of coffee, a bowel of his favorite cereal and some toast will work. Remember it is the thought that counts.
- You don't have to break the bank to get dad a gift on father's day – but if he really does not need a tie – then don't get him one. Make sure you get him something that he will really love – such as tickets to a sporting event or a new power tool.
- A great gift idea, especially if you wait until the last minute, is to get your dad a gift card to one of his favorite stores or restaurants. Almost every store or restaurant has a gift card available and that way he can get something he really wants, instead of you having to guess. Most super centers, book stores and big grocery stores now sell gift cards to the more popular restaurants.
If you give your mother flowers for Mother's Day, don't forget that maybe your father might like them, too! Your father might like the idea of a new plant or bush for the yard.
- Some dads may like the idea of the gift of a day off. Don't bother him with petty things on Father's Day. Let him sleep in for a change and let him watch what he wants on TV!
- Give your dad a homemade coupon book. In it you can put coupons that are redeemable for a home cooked meal, mowing/watering the lawn, cleaning the garage, or any other chores around the house that your dad might do on a regular basis.
- If your dad has a hobby of some kind – like playing golf, photography, etc. – you can arrange for him to take a day class to improve his skills!
- Maximize your resources and purchase a gift collectively among family members/friends to get Dad a gift that would otherwise be out of your price range. This gives you the chance to buy a laptop, a digital camera, a big screen TV, appliances, and more!
- Father's Day may be a good time to help your dad get a few things done he's been trying to avoid. You may want to volunteer to wash/detail/vacuum his car for him, or fill it up out of your own pocket. Your dad deserves to drive a car that looks good!
- Other great gift ideas for your Father are; a nice comfortable hammock, a new grill (men love to cook out!) or a new watch (something masculine).
- Every guy is different, but my idea of a great Father's Day includes some good cooking, some unencumbered time to have my kids play with me, and maybe even a trip to the pool or a new gadget I've been wanting. The last two are optional.
- Need fathers day gift ideas? Think about what your father loves the most. Is he a couch potato? Give him an organizer for his remotes. Is he a sports fanatic? How about a jersey with his favorite team. Does he have a fancy car? Give him a full car car kit with wash, wax, detailing tools, etc. With a little creative thought, you should have no trouble coming up with fathers day gift ideas. Just think about what he likes. And don't forget to spoil him. It's his special day!
- Don't forget to give him a card! Whether it be a card bought from the store or a handmade card from all the kids, it'll make dad's day.
- Treat your dad to a day at the ol' ball park! It will be a fun day full of baseball, hot dogs, and more!
- Have the kids make a Father's Day medal or award that has a special message like "Best Dad" or "We love you Dad!"
- Give your father a useful gift that he can use everyday instead of a tie or shirt. If your dad loves to cook, a food thermometer makes a wonderful gift that will also promote food safety.
- First, make sure Dad has nothing work related to do that day. Take care of his chores for him.
- Dads don't like to rush. Plan a day the has plenty of down time. Plan an outing, but only if you can make it a no hassle trip.
Buy your dad something personalized that he can keep for years to come. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it should remind him of favorite hobby or activity.
Don't Buy your dad anything that involves work! Nothing to plant or build unless it is absolutely his passion.
- Stick around that day. Tell your friends you are busy. Hang out with your Dad, or at least be around (to cater to his every whim.)
- Dads not only like treats, but they actually need them in order to remain healthy. You know what he likes – make sure you have plenty of it on hand.
- It is a scientific fact that dads need a high degree of relaxation on Fathers Day. Plan a day the requires no effort on his part. If possible, your dad should not be moved more than a few inches in any direction.
- Dads are stress magnets. Something that massages or relaxes is a good idea.
- It is extremely important to keep your Dad well hydrating on Fathers Day. I suggest keeping a small bucket of whatever he likes to drink within his grasp at all times. And make sure it's nice and cold.
- Don't talk about money, car problems, or anything else that could distract Dad from the primary purpose of this day which is Relaxation! A recent European study showed that it can take the average Dad up to seven years to recover from just one bad Fathers Days.
- If Dad doesn't like 'em don't invite 'em over. That includes your new boyfriend with the Tattoos and Motorcycle.
- Take your Dad to lunch and make sure you pick up the tab.
- If I was your Dad, I would want you to wash and wax my car. In fact, I still want you to wash and wax my car.
- Do things for Dad that you know he hates to do himself. Weeding, changing the oil in the mower, painting the mail box?
- Once your dad has been properly fed and cared for, He will need to be placed in a comfortable position. Ideally, on a couch or in a hammock. He will need to be left completely undisturbed for at least one hour.
- Don't forget a Father's Day cake! Personalize it with his name. If he's on a diet, you could do cupcakes instead.
- Buy your day an "experience" for Father's Day. They have anything from driving a race car, learning to cook, deep sea fishing, a helicopter ride, brewing your own beer, and more!
- If your dad is a golfer, buy him a new set of golf clubs for Father's Day! If you can't afford a whole set, try replacing one or two of his most worn out clubs with new ones.
- Buy your dad an everyday gift for Father's Day that he wouldn't normally think to buy himself like a new wallet or pair of nice sunglasses.
- Don't forget to wish the other dads that you know a happy Father's Day!
- Buy your dad a season of his favorite old TV show series on DVD!
- Buy your dad a CD of his favorite band or download onto his iPod some songs from his favorite music style!
- If you can't figure out what to get your dad for Father's Day, just ask him! It's better to get him something he wants rather than another tie.
- Get your dad a hip new technological gadget like a GPS, smart phone, or Blu-Ray Player!
- Sometimes waiting until the last minute isn't always a bad thing as many stores will have Father's Day sales the week before or the weekend of the holiday.
- Buy your dad a big bottle of his favorite cologne this Father's Day!
- Buy your dad a personalized gift with his name on it for Father's Day. It will be something he will appreciate forever and you will show how much you care by buying him a truly unique gift.
30 Awesome Mother's Day Tips
Mother's Day is the time to show your mom how much you appreciate everything that she does for the family. So here are some great ideas on how to celebrate her.
- While store bought cards are great, there is nothing better then a homemade card filled with words from the heart. The sky is the limit as to what a homemade card can be made with or say, just let your imagination go wild. Your Mom will love it no matter what.
- Every mom loves spending quality time with her kids. Why not let that be your gift this year to her. Set aside the time for you and her to go to dinner, go to a movie, go shopping or to just hang out and talk. Those memories will last far longer then anything you could buy her.
- Treat your mom to a mini makeover. Set up a time for her to get a new haircut and a new outfit.
- A home cooked meal is always a great gift for mother's day. You can start with fixing her breakfast in bed and end the day with her favorite foods for dinner. Just remember to also clean up the kitchen!
- Buy your mom everything that she will need to have a spa day at home. Buy a CD with relaxing music, bath salts and bubble bath, fluffy slippers and robe, new nail polish and other manicure/pedicure supplies. She'll love the chance to lock herself in the bathroom and have a stress free day.
- Home made gifts are a great idea. You can put together a photo album for her. You can also put together a box of things she regularly uses such as pens, paper, lotion, and cosmetics. Search the internet for more homemade gift ideas for mom.
- If you want to spend a little money on a gift for mom, but want something that will last for a long time, you can purchase a flowering plant, instead of cut flowers, or bush to plant in the yard or in a container for her house. You can also purchase a bird or hummingbird feeder so that she can watch the birds outside. You can also purchase a subscription to her favorite magazine so that she will receive it for a year or two years.
- Give your mom a homemade coupon book. In it you can put coupons that are redeemable for a home cooked meal, cleaning the windows, doing her laundry, taking her out to dinner and so much more.
- If your mom has a hobby of some kind – like playing golf, photography, scrapbooking – you can arrange for her to take a day class to improve her skills!
- If you want to buy your mom a piece of jewelry, you don't necessarily have to go out and buy something new. You can go to an antiques dealer and find jewelry that is perfect for your mom, but does not necessarily cost as much as something new. Or perhaps you have an older piece of jewelry that you can have repurposed for your mom.
- If your mom works hard to be eco-friendly then you can take that into consideration when buying her a gift. You can buy her environmentally friendly cosmetics, or candles made from beeswax. Just do an internet search for earth friendly gifts for mom and you will find hundreds of ideas.
- Maximize your resources and purchase a gift collectively among family members/friends to get Mom a gift that would otherwise be out of your price range. This gives you the chance to buy a laptop, a digital camera, a big screen TV, appliances, and more!
- I think that a flower corsage to wear on Mother's Day is a great way to make Mom feel special. Don't forget one for your significant other as well, if you have kids!
- Supposedly, back in the day, men and boys wore a corsage on Mother's Day – red if your mother was still living, and white if she was deceased. I like the idea of Mom getting to wear the flower better, though.
- Skip the "Mother's Day Brunch" at your local chain restaurant. The place will be crammed to the max with people, the servers will be over-worked and harried, and because of the amount of people coming in and out and the "special" menu, the food probably won't be that good. Take the time to cook something for your mother. Even if you're not the next Gordon Ramsay or Bobby Flay, your mother will appreciate the extra effort you've made.
- Have the younger kids get together and make a bouquet of paper flowers to give to their mom.
- Make your Mom a CD of her favorite tunes! She'll love hearing all the songs that she loves.
- Help with the Housework the day before Mothers Day so Mom can really relax!
- Make sure you take the time to let Mom know how much you love her and the you really appreciate all the things she does for you!
- If weather permits – take Mom for a picnic in the park. Keep simple and have fun!
- Mom loves to see her family happy – No fighting that day or that weekend!
- Take lots of pictures and start a Mothers day scrap book that you can both add to each year.
- If you are taking mom out for Mother's Day, don't have her drive. Be her chauffeur for her special day.
- Write your mom a poem telling her how much you love her. She'll enjoy the heartfelt, personal effort.
- Surprise your mom with a homemade sleeping mask the day before Mothers Day so she can peacefully sleep in on her special day.
- Give your mom a gift card to her favorite clothing store. She'll love buying new outfits for herself on Mother's Day.
- If this is your wife's first Mother's Day, make it the best. Let her relax while you take care of the baby.
- Check the local newspaper for any Mother's Day events that may be going on around town.
- If your mom likes board games, pull out her favorite one and play together as a family.
- If your mother loves to cook, make her a recipe book so she can keep all her favorite ones in one place.
- Many moms (and grandmas) love those T-shirts with the names of their children or grandchildren on them. While some stores offer prepared kits with several paint tubes for your T-shirt, find an inexpensive but durable plain white or colored T-shirt at a local store, then purchase fabric paints at a craft store and have the kids write their names (or put their hand prints) on the shirt. Follow the instructions with the fabric paints and you'll have a one-of-a-kind masterpiece… hands down!

Top 5 Gifts for Musicians
Need gifts for musicians? You might be wondering what to get your favorite musician for their birthday or maybe as a unique Christmas gift. The first thing to come to mind is something practical but how on earth can you know if it's something they already have or not? That's where getting a little creative comes in handy. For example, instead of trying to buy a drummer a new cymbal (because you couldn't possibly know what types of cymbals he likes), try opting for something more practical like a drum-themed T-shirt or a handy drumset keychain. The same goes for guitar. You might be considering a set of colorful guitar picks but it's going to prove hard to know what kind of picks he uses. Try something where you don't have to know this like a personalized guitar picture or coaster set. We've looked around a bit and put together what we feel are among the top music gift selections for musicians.
1. The Boss!
You can never go wrong with the boss. This original piece of artwork will blow them away!

Fathers Day Gift Ideas
Need a unique gift for dad for Fathers Day? We're here to help. The first thing you may want to do is define the characteristics of your father. When you're in tune to their personality type and idiosyncrasies, you're more apt to buy the right product for him. For example, everyone will tell you that the perfect gift for father's day is a tie. But what if your dad rarely ever wears ties? Furthermore, we feel ties have been worn out. They're much too predictable as a gift and we think more thought should go into the gift.
So, what about your dad? What does he like? What is his personality like? Is he your typical sports fanatic? Does he like to be outside? Is he your average geek type. Does he read a lot? Tuning into these questions first and foremost will help you land that perfect gift. For example, a geek-type-of-dad might enjoy some kind of accessory that works with his iPhone or mobile device. If he's the outdoorsy type, maybe a cool hammock for the backyard. If he reads quite a bit, maybe you could get him a Kindle, if he doesn't already have one, or a Kindle add-on accessory. Of course, if he likes sports, there is a plethora of sports related gifts and ideas on the market that would be suitable for him. Here are some ideas to help make it a little easier for you:
How about a cool grill apron? You can even get it personalized with "Dad" or his initials.
Here's another neat idea for Father's Day. Give him a reward for "Best Dad Ever!"
This amazing tie tells everyone who the #1 dad is and, of course, it's yours!
Any dad who loves to grill will enjoy this whimsical salt & pepper set this Father's day!
Show your dad how cool you think he is with this personalized photo frame!
These I Love My Dad cufflinks will tell the world that your dad is appreciate, while adding some style to his formal wear.
Your dad will know you love every morning when he drinks from this incredible Dad of the Year coffee mug that can be personalized just for him.
Best Birthday Gifts
Their birthday is coming up fast and you can't believe you almost forgot. There's time to get a nice gift but everyone's first thought is usually, "What on earth will I get?" You wonder how much money you should spend and if you're going to be able to find something unique. Well, just relax. We've got some tips to help relieve the stress just a little and help your gift be the best one.
Despite popular opinion, the best birthday gifts aren't always the ones in the bigger boxes or the most elaborate gift wrap. Sure, they might make the best first impression but if you really want to hit a home run, put some thought into the person you're buying for and buy a gift that's "perfectly" suited for them. Ask yourself a few questions like, "What do THEY really like". You might like books and have the latest title in mind but are you sure they're reader? Just because you've seen them read a magazine doesn't mean that's their favorite thing. Do they like to shop? Then maybe a gift card would be a nice option. But, gift cards can be a little bit boring as a gift and it's debatable whether that's always the best option.
If you can manage to give your gift a personal touch, that's what usually makes a big impression on the recipient. You might have done that with birthday cards before. You know, like when you jazz it up with some colored pencils or fancy up the envelope? But what about the gift itself? Let's say the person with the birthday likes antiques or things that have an antique-like flair. You could visit an estate sale and look for a unique item that you could put in a frame perhaps. Or maybe the other way around. You could find a unique, anitquish type of frame and put a personal poem inside or a picture of the two of you together. That would make your gift the best – very original and well thought-out.
You might also think about something trendy as a great birthday gift idea. People like getting things that are recently popular. Think about things like the iPhone, iPad or other smart phones. Trendy items are iphone accessories and covers and bling products that go with all the new devices on the market these days from the Samsung phones to the Androids (and everything in between). Those are among the best ideas for birthdays because people like being up on knew trends and the best way to be familiar with the latest and greatest is to be in the game yourself.
When picking out a birthday gift, take your time and use the Golden Rule approach. How would you like someone to shop for you when buying a gift? Would you like to receive something blasé or something that had some thought behind it and a personal touch? If you want to buy the best gift for that special person, buy a gift that has a little bit of "you" in it. That way, you're sure to get it right and watching their face when they open it up will be your reward for the time you spent on getting it right.

Punggol is a town directly borders Sengkang to the south and shares riverine boundaries with the planning area of Seletar to the west and Pasir Ris to the east. Bounding the town to the north and north-east is the Straits of Johor, with Coney Island included as a part of the Punggol planning area.
Under the Punggol 21 initiative, plans to turn the area into a new residential town was announced in 1996 and development of the town started in 1998. Due to the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and the financial troubles within the construction industry in 2003, the plan did not fully materialize. In 2007, a new initiative, the Punggol 21-plus plan, was introduced to redevelop the area into a waterfront town. Punggol is divided into 7 subzones, namely, Coney Island, Matilda district, Northshore district, Punggol Canal, Punggol Field, Punggol Town Centre and Waterway East district.

A Sporty Look
I like to mix up my sporty look with normal cloth and shoes. These shorts are from Adidas SS15, my blouse is from Adidas by Stella McCartney AW15and shoes Isabel Marant, I think its great that the sports brands have details on the shorts which seems like a blonde and the colour on the blouse matches the nude trend from the catwalks.
I have always been fascinated by fashion, I worked with fashion so many years and I will always feel connected to the industry, I think the most important thing, that you find your own way of expressing yourself through your choice of cloth, let your personality decide.

"Well, aloe there… Mind if I join you? Don't wanna come across too hasty – but if you were a fruit, you'd be a FINE-apple." – Your new blender BFF right there; working his sexy gut loving charm once again. Quite the smooth talker, he is…
And you know what? The blush-worthy compliments are by 'no greens' the only benefits you'll be reaping from this creamy dream of a smoothie. Oh no, oh no! You'll be getting in on some major skin soothing action, whilst helping to crank up your immunity and dose up on a whole lot of gut loving benefits too; all in one tropical inspired glass of pure 'lick-the-blender-clean' deliciousness. Perfect for those hazy summer mornings or balmy afternoons when you want something refreshing and substantial to keep you cool in the heat!
I'm all kinds of excited to collaborate with Simplee Aloe, a new Aloe Vera brand (funny that) founded by friends Alex and Ray that offers high quality, organic, no B.S aloe drinks which can easily incorporated in to your every day routine, one uber-healing spoonful at a time. During a (unknowingly career altering) trip to India, they were drinking the stuff derived from the aloe leaf every day, and felt damn good for it too.
When they returned back to the UK, however? Well, they may have been joyfully reunited with fish and chips and the glory of GBBO on TV again – but the choice of decent Aloe juices/drinks available here on the market was somewhat lacking. First of all they realised that they are generally loaded with sugar – meaning all that goodness is essentially masked by the sickly taste of sweeteners to make it more 'palatable'. Secondly, they don't actually contain much aloe (kinda defeats the whole object, right?!) – so basically another prime example of the market using their clever tricks to waste your dollar on a crappy product. Surprise you? It didn't with me to be quite honest; I'd rather just buy myself a cappuccino than an uninspiring carton of sugar sugar. That's why when the opportunity to create a smoothie recipe for them using their real aloe juice came up, I was more than happy to get my blend on and introduce you to a product worth stocking up on!
So what's the whole deal with aloe, you ask? The guys over at Simplee Aloe have worked closely with nutrition pro's to ensure that they get the facts right with why it's a trusted and solid choice for your wellbeing – as opposed to a trendy FAD that will be forgotten by next year.
"For those who are looking for good digestive health, aloe vera is a natural prebiotic and therefore helps to establish the natural bacterial flora in the digestive system. We think of it as food for your good bacteria!
Not only that, but aloe vera's soothing gelatinous properties help food move through the intestinal tract with ease, absorbing toxins along the way to aid the detoxification process.
Aloe vera's naturally occurring anti-inflammatory enzymes help those with gut issues such as IBS."
"The polysaccharides within aloe vera stimulate white blood cells to help strengthen the body's immune system and support in fighting against viruses, thus making aloe vera a restorative essential and a boosting tonic for those under the weather."
"Aloe Vera's antibacterial properties combined with its anti-inflammatory factors can prevent and reduce skin inflammation. When consumed, they provide the skin with a natural source of moisture that can contribute to a glowing complexion and the high levels of antioxidants can help combat free-radicals that are known to contribute to the ageing process."
*All deets taken from the Simplee Aloe website – if you're interested to learn more than clicky here!*
As someone who knows the gut struggle, I'll take anything that can help with the healing. Aloe vera is definitely nothing new to the 'wellness scene' (Ugh! I know, I hate that term too) and my Mum has raved about it for years – especially after she found it incredibly helpful whilst healing her gut after suffering from Candida. Like mother like daughter, eh? Combining it with the sweet pineapple which brings home all the bromelain (an enzyme to aid digestion), creamy avocado, stomach soothing mint and zesty lime creates a truly epic concoction that will no doubt transport you straight to a paradise island lined with palm trees and Ryan Reynolds lookalikes tending to your every need…
Or you know, something like that.
Aloe and behold! Here is how we're gonna do it, my friends:
- 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
- ½ avocado
- 6 mint leaves
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 100ml dairy free milk of choice or coconut water
- 1 tbsp Simplee Aloe original juice
- optional add ins: maca, ginger, cinnamon, spinach, shredded coconut to top
- You know the drill. Place all the ingredients in the blender, whizz up until smooth and pour in to your glass. Top with the coconut, pineapple and extra mint if you're feeling fancy!

While southern Indonesia's red hot resort property market has shown remarkable capital appreciation in the last five years, people are now asking: Have things gone too far, too fast?
A spatial planning analyst warned that development projects in green areas in Bali were growing at an alarming rate and threatened not only the local ecology but also productive farmland.
The situation has not been helped by the fact that the local administration lacked a clear overview of its spatial planning...
LOVE it or hate it, Australians are buying land in Bali and other far-flung Indonesian islands to build villas and resorts - but it's not a venture for the faint-hearted.
After remarkable growth over the past several years, the development of budget hotels in Bali is predicted to slow down this year...
Developments of luxury hotels and villas are starting to penetrate new areas outside the crowded southern Bali...
Bali is changing now because it's welcoming more urban-type resorts. Just like Phuket, it is becoming an urban-resort destination. It's not going to be the same Bali.

anyone know why the muscular insectthing has it's offspring in colour and not the batthings?
The insectcreature is a pre-defined, the batwinged is my creature. Only the offspring of the pre-defined creatures is coloured, so i think the designers has worked on it.

This tops the list of the world's most expensive beer, costing around £500 (equivalent to around $1,000) per bottle or about £39 (equivalent to around $78) per pint. It can only be found in a bar called the Bierdrome in London
The recipe of this brew is prepared according to the recipe and brewing method discovered by a team of University of Cambrige archaeologists/Egyptologists in the Queen Nefertiti's Temple of the Sun in Egypt. The brewery found in the corner of the said temple is believed to have been built by King Akhenaton who is King Tutankhamen's father.
This is also the place where King Akhenaton queen, Nefertiti worshiped.The archaeologists sought expert advice from Scottish and Newcastle Breweries, Edinburgh and the beer is brewed in the Cambridge laboratory, costing around $52 per bottle. The production is also limited and the edition is also numbered
This beer is brewed by the Boston Beer Company, using the brand name of Samuel Adam's Utopias, named after one of the founding fathers of the USA.
This comes second in the list of the world's most expensive beer which costs around $100 per bottle (24 oz) or about $67 per pint, sold in copper bottles resembling the copper brewing kettles which are used by brewers for hundreds of years.
«Utpoia tastes like carmel flavored tires.»

Jeremy Wallace
Associate Professor of Government
I study authoritarianism, urbanization, and information, with a focus on Chinese politics. My research centers on questions of authoritarian regime survival and how such regimes--particularly China's--grapple with threats in two major themes. The first explores the dangers that cities pose to dictators. Cities and Stability: Urbanization, Redistribution, and Regime Survival in China shows how China's management of urbanization is an under-appreciated factor in the regime's longevity by combining cross-national statistics and in-depth analysis of China. The second examines the ways that dictators become aware of and understand their political environments and the consequences of the such institutions of information, which is the subject of my current book project, Seeking Truth and Hiding Facts in China. My research has appeared in Journal of Politics, British Journal of Political Science, China Quarterly, Global Environmental Change, and Land Use Politics. I also host the ChinaLab podcast, publicizing current research on China.

What it is, what it is, what it is... shed no tears! The Dynamek One has returned from his travels to once again bring the noise. This month's Anthem is of particular significance to yours truly...
In case I haven't been thoroughly clear on this matter in the past, I LOVE the Dynasty Warriors series. Say what you will about it, but it is the closest thing to the feel of those old school beat 'em up games from my youth. On top of that, they're loosely based on my all-time favorite book. That being said, the series has had no shortage of memorable characters over the years. However, one of the more recent additions to that roster utterly captivated me: Wang Yi.
The song you're hearing right now, "Teary Edge", is her theme from Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends. She made her debut in that expansion and, if I'm to be honest, quite an impact. You see, her (tragic) story is tied directly to another mainstay character of the series, Ma Chao. After the betrayal & death of his father, Ma Chao took out his rage on an unsuspecting village. Wang Yi's family was among the victims of that onslaught. From that moment on, she swore an undying oath of revenge against him. So intense is her desire for vengeance that she likens it to love on more than one occasion. I've (thankfully) never hated anything with that level of passion and I pray I never do.
The song itself conveys that sense of emotional confusion. Since I live to share music with my friends, I let a buddy of mine hear this song way back when it first entered rotation for me and he said something so uncharacteristically profound that it has stayed with me all these years. Believe it or not, what he said sums up this track better than I think I ever could: "The juxtaposition between the piano & strings against that underlying guitar is like hearing someone lie to themselves, but ultimately -- almost to the point of heartbreak -- come to terms with the inescapable truth." Heavy stuff, ain't it?
I'd be lying if I said that pairing this song with the right character didn't drive me up a wall for a while. Like I said earlier, this song has left an indelible mark on me, so I wanted to make damn sure that whoever I assigned it to was worthy of it. After actual months (yes, months) of internal struggle & debate, a lone figure stood out in my mind and, if I do say so myself, she is perfect.
Soul Cailbur's Setsuka ultimately proved to be the ideal match for "Teary Edge". Both women's motivations are rooted in revenge. The target of Setsuka's murderous intent is none other that Heishiro Mitsurugi. Due to her "unusual" appearance, Setsuka was often shunned & persecuted as a child. Her fortunes changed when she met a kind stranger who not only took her in, but gave her the name "Setsuka" (Snow Flower). Setsuka would devote herself to this man and, in turn, he would teach her the finer points of his protection techniques. One day, her master requested that she deliver a message to a dojo far away. Setsuka begrudgingly accepted the task. Upon her return, she found her master gravely injured. His days as a swordsman were behind him, so he intensified her training.
Over time, Setsuka would come to realize that her feelings for her master ran much deeper than simple piety... she was, in fact, in love with him. Time can be cruel, however, and her master would soon succumb to its ravages. With his dying breath, he revealed the identity of the one who injured him. Although he never wanted her to seek out revenge, Setsuka's heart was fixated on finding & killing Mitsurugi.
Here's where the paths diverge for these two women. You see, although both of their initial reasons to fight aligned around revenge, the women would ultimately travel different paths in life. While Wang Yi & Ma Chao did clash on a number of occasions, she never dealt the killing blow. Vengeance would elude her. Setsuka, in kind, also got the chance to cross swords with her nemesis. However, after their confrontation, she realized her master's words were true and gave up the quest for violent retribution. In the years that followed, she would travel, change her name & even find time to pass on her master's fighting style to a student of her own. Hmm, I wonder how that turned out...
Until next time... keep fighting the good fight, my friends.

I use this quote cautiously because when I illustrate one of my fears, I can't stop shaking for days, even if my readers are happy.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine that highlights our much anticipated books.
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
Add to GoodReads
Incapable. Awkward. Artless.
That's what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: she wants to fail.
Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she's exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life. But if controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn't interested.
Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and wove a moment at testing, and they're coming for her—tonight.
Now she has one hour to eat her mom's overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister's academy gossip and laugh at her Dad's stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything's okay. And one hour to escape.
Because once you become a Spinster, there's no turning back.
Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter? I think this would be another fantastic time travel novel! The moment I've read the summary last May, it just left me asking for more! Really really looking forward to reading this!
What titles are you excited about this week?
