Lose Belly Fat With SafSlim- Review and Giveaway

Wednesday, March 28, 2012


Unwanted weight gain is an issue that many of us struggle with on a daily basis. The weight gained often distributes itself in least desirable spots such as the stomach. Stomach fat (called omentum fat) is one of the most dangerous fats that we can hold on our body.

A new breakthrough product- SafSlim -helps combat this dangerous fat. The product contains Polyunsaturated linoleic sunflower considered essential fatty acid which is shown to be cardio supportive and beneficial for the metabolism, helping in digestion. With use, SafsSlim promotes the healthy belly fat hormone adiponectin promoting insulin sensitivity, decrease appetite and support regular blood sugar balance. Two tablespoons of SafSlim a day have been scientifically shown to decrease belly fat at an average of 6.3% with no change in diet or exercise. SafSlim is available in two flavours-tangerine cream fusion and berry cream fusion that make the process enjoyable

You can learn more about why experts – including the eminent Dr. Oz – are so excited about it here.
I have been trying SafSlim for the past two weeks at the recommended dosage and I can definitely see a noticeable difference in the flatness of my stomach-all this with absolutely no change to my diet or fitness. Although the scale is not budging, my clothes fit a lot better-and that’s a great feeling.


SafSlim would love to give one of our readers a chance to try SafSlim as well.One lucky reader from Canada or the USA will win 2 bottles of SafSlim™ and the book, "Belly Fat Breakthrough: Smart Science for Transforming Your Body!" by Karlene Karst.

Wooden Window Treatments: A Budget-Friendly Option For Every Home




Extremely simple to install and not to mention cost-effective - wooden blinds are a great option for any home.


When it comes to installation, simply prepare yourself with the basic tools for any DIY job (screw driver, tape measure, hammer, etc) and you’ll be done in no time. It’s hardly rocket science – let’s put it that way. The job is half done for you in most cases, as you are often provided with all the essential bits and pieces like screws and other parts, as well as diagrams and instructions to talk you through it. This way, you don’t have to spend unnecessary money on tradesmen.


However, before installing new window treatments, it’s important to consider the uses and purposes of a room. For example, rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms will obviously generate more moisture than living rooms and bedrooms. As a result, wooden window treatments are likely to be the best choice as they offer more endurance when it comes to these conditions. Although they aren’t completely immune to wear and tear, they look good even when a little bit worn which means they won’t need replacing any time soon.


Similarly, to ensure they stay at the peak of their condition, regular care and maintenance is essential. Thankfully, this is a relatively simple task and shouldn’t take too long and it can be as simple as a quick wipe of the slats without the use of any specific cleaning fluids. Each wood is different though, so it’s worth spending a few minutes doing your research to make sure there aren’t any specific manufacturer’s recommendations.


There are so many different types of wooden blinds available on the market in this day and age, therefore a bit of research before going shopping will make your job a hell of a lot easier. Certain woods cost more than others, and suit different types of room. Bass wood, faux wood and bamboo are a few options available, all suited well to different windows and rooms. No matter which blinds you go for, you should be able to find something to suit not just your home, but your budget too.

Getting Around Portugal

Tuesday, March 27, 2012


The most beautiful and charming country in this world is the country of Portugal. It is one of the exclusive European destinations that provide great reviews by the enthusiasts that have travelled to this country. Always plan a long schedule to this country because if your plan to visit this place for short period this is a guarantee you that you will not be able to feel back to return to your home destinations.


When you are planning a trip to any place make sure of hiring a car in advance to travel the city at your own terms and as per your comfort. Visiting to any place is expensive and that also if you do not do it at your own comfort and affordability then it’s a sheer waste of money. If you arrange of a cheap car hire Portugal you will be able to save money and with that you can enjoy other places which you were not visiting previously. Without any arrangement for the transportation you will have to make a lot of expense for using the transport locally.


Search beforehand visiting the places and book for the cheap car hire to Portugal as fast as you can. Public transport is very inconvenient and it will not take you to the proper destination on time. But if you hire a car on your own then you can visit the places of your choice duly on time and can enjoy the place to make it a memorable destination for your future memories. It has been found out that tourist who do not prepare themselves for the transport beforehand had to wait for the local transport for hours.


People think of so much they will do during their trip, they make so many wishes for the trip but if those wishes are not fulfilled then they that creates a negative impact in their mind.


Enjoy Portugal.

Five Unforeseen Expenses When Starting a Home Business




In today’s struggling economy many people are considering starting a home-based business as a way to bring in income or supplement any income they may already have. The pros of having a home based business are many and include a short commute, more relaxed wardrobe, setting your own schedule, and saving money on things such as childcare, gas, and lunches out. However, having your own at home business is by no means free, make sure to consider these “Five Unforeseen Expenses When Starting a Home Business
1) Trademarking your business names: A good and memorable business name can help you attract clients. However, a business name that is the same as an existing business can not only be a headache but can have legal consequences as well. Make sure to contact a law firm for trademark registration.

2) Technology: It is hard to run any business without the right equipment. Even if your business in not technology based you will still need items such as a computer, faxes, software and printers for day to day operations such as client tracking, advertising, invoicing etc.

3) Energy Costs: Not many people consider the rise in their energy costs when operating a home business. There is an increase in the use of electricity to operate various equipment, keeping the house warm, as well as potential increase in transportation costs as you venture out for business related activities-even if its something as basic as a cheque deposit.

4) Setting up Dedicated Internet Service: Many home business owners find that standard residential internet is insufficient as their business grows. Residential internet services are also prone to security breaches leading to extra hassle and costs. These can be avoided through a dedicated T1 internet for business. After all, why wait for a webpage to load because…..

5) Time is money: Whether you are waiting for an internet connection, running errands, or providing a service, remember that all these tasks are essential to a home based business and have to be calculated into the time it takes to run it. In the end, you want to make sure the business is financially worth it.

20 Green Alternatives For Things You Use Everyday

Thursday, March 22, 2012


Whether it’s cleaning products or how you drive your car, there are green alternatives that you can use to have a positive impact on the earth and your pocket book.  Use the following tips as alternatives for the things you use every day. 

·         Get out your bike! Instead of paying for gas, choose to ride your bike to work or other places you need to go. If it is close enough, you can even walk.  Driving your car less is a great green alternative.

·         Make your own laundry detergent. Laundry detergent can be expensive. Making your own can help save the environment and save you money.  Simple ingredients from around your home can be combined to make laundry detergent.

·         Use cold water for washing clothes.  Washing your clothes in cold water will make your energy bill cheaper each month.  Use the warm setting only when washing towels and undergarments.  A green alternative is using cold water for things around your home.

·         Natural cleaning supplies.  Purchase natural cleaning supplies that have the green seal instead of toxic products. Many companies have caught on the “green” attitude and now offer natural cleaning supplies that are good for the environment and your budget.

·         Invest in fans. Installing fans in each room in your house will allow you to set your thermostat on a higher setting. A single fan can make if feel 13 degrees cooler. This adds up to significant savings!

·         Look for the “energy efficient” label. When buying appliances for your home, choose Energy Star appliances that have been tested and confirmed to use less electricity.

·         Green makeup. Even make up can have a green label. Choose to use make up that is made from more natural ingredients.

·         Composting.  Instead of buying compost, choose to make your own.  If you eat fresh fruit and vegetables every day, this is a great way to eliminate the waste.

·         Air freshener.  A green alternative to the air freshener that you spray every day is using scented oils and fresh fruit to scent your home.

·         Drinking tap water. Bottled water is expensive and very harmful for the environment.  A green alternative is to buy a filter and drink tap water. 

·         Growing your own food.  Choose to grow your own food rather than purchasing expensive food from the grocery store. 

·         Change out your light bulbs. New energy efficient light bulbs should be lighting your home for the most savings. This is an easy change that can make a huge impact on the amount of energy that you use each month.

·         Turn off your computer when you aren’t using it.  Instead of keep your computer up and running, turn it off when you aren’t using it.  This can save you money on the things that you use every day.

·         Buy second hand. Gently used clothing are the better option if you are being environmentally conscious and want to add recycling into your daily lifestyle.

·         Fix faucets that leak. Leaky faucets can actually cost you a great deal of money each month.  Fixing leaky faucets is cheap and will be great for saving water.

·         Dry your clothes on a clothes line. Instead of using the dryer, choose to line dry your clothes to help save on your energy bill. 

·         Use cloth napkins. Paper napkins add to the waste problem and can be quite expensive. Save money and have a positive impact on the environment by using cloth napkins.

·         Reduce your showering time.  The less water you use when shower, the cheaper your bill will be and the better impact you can have on the environment.  Reduce your showering time to 5 minutes. 

·         Donate to others. Don’t throw things in the trash. Choose to donate them to people in need.  Homeless people will appreciate an old blanket or clothing that you no longer use.  Donate to Salvation Army or to some other charitable organization.

Listed above are 20 green alternatives for the things that you use every day.  Will you help have a positive impact on the environment by switching to these green alternatives?

Enjoying Easter's Sweet Treats

Wednesday, March 14, 2012



Always arriving in the beginning of spring, the Easter holiday is generally considered a time of rebirth. We shed our winter coats and our heavy boots in favour of spring attire. With the sun shining and snow melting many of us are ecstatic to great warmer weather.

Traditionally, Easter completes the cycle of Lent, so a great way to celebrate the end of a season of deprivation than by indulging in chocolates and candy. Easter candies are one of the prettiest treats available all year round, as they are wrapped in beautiful and colourful wrapping and take fun shapes such as chocolate bunnies and treat-filled eggs.

Easter egg hunts are one of the most fun traditions for children, and often colourful baskets have to be used so that the kids can carry of their found treasures.So whether your Easter basket is filled with real or chocolate eggs, make sure to celebrate the arrival of Spring.

Check out this Easter's sweets and treats from our friends below:

-The Madelaine Chocolate Company: Established in 1949, they've dedicated themselves to perfecting the superior taste and quality of chocolate.Using the finest quality chocolate, innovative shapes and unique Italian foils, they're proud to help make every moment special.

Psychic Scams – When Psychic Ability Is Used For The Wrong Reasons

Friday, March 9, 2012


This was contributed by Hollywood Psychics, a group of psychics who are screened and only the most professional talent in the field. When speaking to a live psychic at Hollywood Psychics, you can rest assured that your spiritual advisor won’t trick you try to deceive you.



For everyone who may have the talent of clairvoyance, there are many more trying to manipulate people in times of need through their “gifts.” This, as you well know, has historically given many psychics a bad reputation. Though there have been many claims of people being scammed by psychics, the most well know scam in recent years was that of The Psychic Readers Network. Founded in 1991, they stayed mostly under the radar until they gained household name status with the famous face of their company, Miss Cleo.



Miss Cleo had a demanding presence. She was a sassy, exotic, loud woman with an almost off-putting personality. It wasn’t like any other infomercials happening at the time, and it seemed like she was the perfect fit for the customers  The Psychic Readers Network where trying to pull in. Lonely, confused middle class working Americans eating their popcorn in from of the TV at 2am would feel reassured by her demanding presence, like she knew a secret they didn’t, and like if they called she might let them in on it. She claimed to be from the Caribbean Islands, or like she said, “Trelawney, a little place called Duncan Falls, twenty minutes outside Falmouth.”



After making a midnight TV connection with Miss Cleo, clients would call the line being enticed in by the first 3 minutes being free. Some people would be surprised not to get Miss Cleo at all, but rather a ‘friend’ from the network. They would, after keeping you on the phone for the free three minutes by asking your address and other information for a free tarot card, proceed to ask ‘showing questions,’ then they would draw the tarot cards together from information given to them. The goal was to keep the client on for 19 minutes, or 80 dollars worth of empty predictions and assumptions. People would usually call about love or money, so it wasn’t hard to make set scripts for people to work with.



The scam was eventually up when they showed Miss Cleo’s United States birth certificate. Though she was not sued directly, the company suffered large losses, not only from lawsuit expenses, but also from a now untrusting clientele. For everyone they could have help by just giving them someone to listen to, they sideswiped just as many, causing them to second doubt themselves even more when the clients found out they had been used.



Miss Cleo is just a famous example; there are many fake psychics out there, namely street vendors, who instill fear and doubt into their clients when they’re at a low point in their lives; they use this control over them to pay exorbitant amounts of cash to remove curses, bring lovers back, win the lottery, etc. A real psychic’s goal is to make their client happy and feel positive about moving forward with their life; they don’t want to scare you into giving them money for mundane rituals or trick you into staying on the phone with nothing gained.



Though fake psychics have continued being ousted since Houdini, there are more victims than just the people getting scammed for their money; there are also the people who could possibly have a real clairvoyance, people who may be scared and confused by their gift, being constantly accused of being the next Miss Cleo.

Make A Break For The Breakout Kings on DVD March 13th


Make a break for it, and check out season 1 of the Breakout Kings which will be making its way to DVD on March 13.

A team of federal marshals makes a deal with current prisoner that if they agree to help and bring in fugitives currently on the run, their sentence will be reduced by each fugitive that they bring in. However, any attempt at an escape will be punished with all of them returning to their prison cells and their sentences being doubled. Outstanding ensemble cast featuring a wide variety of intriguing character that you cannot help but care about, the show keeps viewers glued to the seats, often cheering for bad guy...or is it the good guy?

A&E’s hit show has lured viewers since its premiere and is fused with twists and turns. It is a great guilty pleasure for any fan of fast paced crime shows.

Wednesday-March 3

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

I can see another month flying by with it already being the 3rd of March today.The weather is starting to warm up around here,( melting on the roads)  and it's that time of year when I start Spring cleaning. It's usually NOT alot of work for me though, since I declutter and clean all year round. Things like outside windows, carpet cleaning and those outdoor things will wait till Summer. I mostly just have things to clean like inside closets and cupboards. I've already breezed through half of our home on my "slow" days around here.It will be nice once the weather is warm enough to open the windows and let everything freshen up.

Gerry is getting a good tax refund back so we will be putting a small part towards our trip fund and I know this year he has talked up putting the siding on the workshop. Not sure what else at this point.We decided this year not to take the cash back option offered by H&R Block. We did last year. Must have needed the money as far as I can remember as this year, it would have costed us over $300 to take that option and we said we could wait to get the refund back. After all that is alot of money. In May his company gives a yearly bonus as well to all their workers, which is another boost. We need the roof redone on our mobile home, so that will be a for sure thing that needs to get done. We were told it was pretty bad.We had priced out a contractor for it before and it was quite high so Gerry is talking about checking around for pricing and doing it himself. I personally think it's too much work for one person, plus alot of up an down on the ladder.Hard on the knees and the body. Has anyone else did their roof by themselves?

We still have the travel bug. After getting back from our vacation, and always on the lookout for a super flight deal, Gerry said he'd love to go somewhere again. I would love to hear if you are going on a Spring Break this year or have a Summer holiday planned.
