Bridezilla No More!

June 18, 2013 by

Everyone is all too aware that the bride can get a little crazy with the wedding planning and the pressure of having everything ready for the big day! You as a bridesmaid must step up and shake the bridezilla out of the bride! Even if you are not maid of honour it is important that all the bridesmaids’ including in the wedding party have an equal share of things to do that will aid the wedding and help out the bride. After all, it is her big day, and reducing her stress as much as possible should be the bridesmaids’ main goal!

Break it down –

First of all think about all the responsibilities that need to be shared, write them in a list and begin to share them out amongst each other. This will include the hen party, the bridal shower, bridesmaid dresses, getting families together and so on. This way each person has a clear one or two responsibilities to look after making the whole planning more manageable!

The hen party is one of the biggest events apart from the wedding itself that will take place. It is the last night as your favourite bride being a bachelorette, and it must be a night/weekend to remember! Plan the date well in advance and ensure that everyone who must be there such as the mother of the bride and mother of the groom will all be able to make it. A fantastic present for the bride before the wedding on the last night of her hen party is a pampering day at the salon to ensure that she is completely rested and at her very best for her wedding. Check out www.jeunessebeauty.co.uk that offers a full range of spa treatments that the bridal party can indulge in, for a relaxing end to a fun weekend.

Help the Bride out –

Weddings are without a doubt extremely expensive these days, and it is hard for brides and grooms to afford the simple extras for a wedding. As a wedding gift to your lovely bride, offer to pay for your own bridesmaid dress to spare them the costs therefore this allows them to spend more money on items or features that they may not have previously been able to have. Check out www.ameliaclassics.co.uk/bridesmaid-dresses that has a lovely selection of bridesmaids’ dresses at an affordable price, so it won’t break your bank balance or the brides if she still chooses to buy them herself. This allows you some extra say in what kind of dress you have to wear and will also help the bride select dresses to suit each and every member of her bridal party! You’ll be surprised how grateful she will be for the financial help and the help with making decisions.

Simple Shower –

The bridal shower should take place just before the wedding, and with so little time until the big day, the bridal shower must be as stress free as possible. Keeping it simple will prevent anything going wrong and simplicity will help calm your lovely bride’s nerves! Check out www.bridalguide.com/planning/showers-parties/bridal-shower-themes  that has lots of ideas for themes, designs, games and plans for bridal showers if you are finding it hard to come up with ideas! You can make a budget bridal shower classy, with a bottle of champagne and proper champagne glasses to serve with. Add a strawberry to the glass before pouring and it will make everything seem more glamorous. Ensure the guests that are invited to the bridal shower are special friends who are close to the bride as well as family. This is so the bride can spend quality time with the people she loves before the wedding, not complete strangers.

Everyone wants the bride’s wedding planning to run as smoothly as possible and that is when the bridesmaids’ can step in and save the day! Check out www.dessy.com/wedding-planner/brides-guide for a full bride’s guide to wedding planning which will give you lovely bridesmaids’ some tips on what you can do, to share the weight of wedding planning!

UK’s EXPENSIVE HOMES

June 14, 2013 by

America is renowned for its incredibly expensive celebrity homes with their stunning interiors and elaborate exteriors which got me browsing through UK homes and I was pretty shocked to find some majorly expensive, mega homes all over our little Kingdom. Pools, saunas, bowling alleys, numerous rooms, cinemas… you name it – they’ve got it! And you can too!

UPDOWN COURT

HOUSE 1

This small house is only worth £70million… only!! But it certainly has got everything you could ever want. You’d never have to leave the house! Bigger than Buckingham Palace, it has 27 bedrooms and 2 separate guest houses if a choice of 27 bedrooms isn’t enough! Complete with squash court, gym, cinema, bowling alley and a swimming pool! You can have a swimming pool in the UK with no problems, indoors or out. Check out www.compass-pools.co.uk that install swimming pools throughout the UK if you want to add some glamour to your home to compare it to the stunning Updown Court. Truly a huge house, what you wouldn’t give to have a look inside!

KENSINGTON PALACE GARDENS

HOUSE 2

Owned and loved by steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, the stunning home is worth £70million also. Formally owned by the Phillipene Embassy it is believed that the house had to undergo mass modernisation to get it up-to-date. This street is well known for its famous occupants, and is very much one of the most expensive streets to live on in Britain! This article from the Daily Mail www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1392680/UKs-richest-street-near-Kensington-Palace-average-house-price-19-5m.html maps out who lives where and the extortionate costs of living on such a renowned street!

THE BISHOPS AVENUE

house 3

As if Lakshmi Mittal hadn’t enough from one mansion, he needed another. That’s right – he owns this stunning home as well. It has 11 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, 6 reception rooms, a swimming pool and a steam room. Estimated at £40million the home is now rented for £10,000 a week instead! A steam room would fit nicely with a swimming pool in your home and would increase the worth of your house by the thousands. Check out www.nordic.co.uk/steam.html that will come to your home and install a steam room, right there wherever you want! It truly is amazing that these services are readily available for the domestic home.

PARK PLACE

HOUSE 4

A 300 year old property this beautiful and with such grandeur definitely makes us appreciate our ancestors before us for building such a stunning home! Sold for £140million, the buyer didn’t just get a house, he got cottages, 200acres worth of land, stables, a boat house, and he even got a River Thames frontage view. I think everyone would agree they are ever so slightly jealous of this incredible mansion. It is the ultimate fairytale fantasy for all females and the architecture itself is fascinating, as it looks almost French. If it’s the French look you want in your home check out www.dibor.co.uk that will undoubtedly add class and style to almost anyone’s home with their French decor and ideas.

ONE HYDE PARK PENTHOUSE

HOUSE 5

£135million for an apartment? Extremely expensive one would say, but the building includes a 21m swimming pool, a cinema, saunas, a gym, a wine cellar, a golf stimulator, valet, and concierge AND as if that wasn’t enough, you can have room service from the hotel next door! That is certainly worth the whopping £135million I would think. This stunning building was designed by the renowned Candy Brothers and is amongst one of the most expensive living places in the world!!! That certainly is a lot of money. www.richersounds.com/information/home-cinema offers full home cinema installation and kits therefore that means that you can have a cinema – right in your living room.

 

Technology and homes truly have advanced in this modern age, and it tends to make one wonder have these expensive homes taking it one too far? Or isn’t it absolutely fantastic that additives like these to your home are readily available from multiple companies in the UK today!! I’ll go with the latter…

March of the Tractors!

June 5, 2013 by

tracFrom June 8th – 9th this year, Ripon is host to the UK’s largest festival of tractors, the Newby Hall Tractor Festival. Now in its eighth year, the festival plays homage to the best in tractor design from the last hundred years.

Locals and visitors alike can spend the weekend learning about some iconic tractors like the Yuba Ball-Tread Crawler, one of the last remaining examples of the tractor in the world. The weekend features coordinated tractor dancing from the Dancing Does (not to be missed) and culminates in the March of the Tractors, when a line of tractors and engines will march from Newby Hall to Ripon Market Square. Check out the Discover Ripon site for more information.

In its eight year history, the festival has grown in popularity in the local community and now marks a fun weekend for many families and individuals alike. It’s great to see local communities taking pleasure from showcasing innovations in local industry whilst never forgetting their heritage.

At Cornthwaite AG, families will have the chance to explore the history of tractor 1engineering and agricultural machinery in such a fun way. They have a comprehensive stock of John Deere, Manitou, Massey Ferguson and McCormick tractors, both new and used, and it is a pleasure to see these vehicles celebrated. All the used tractor and tractor parts are safe and well-looked-after so perhaps in a few decades time, they too will form part of the vintage range in the Tractor Festival!

The Festival is great fun for families but will also be a great source of inspiration for those in the industry: farming is part of the heritage of the north of England and with festivals like this; local businesses can take pride in their work with profitable farms, honored in their communities and it happens every year so if you miss it this year, there is always next year!

Does your business have a mobile marketing strategy?

March 29, 2013 by

smsMobile marketing can mean many different things to different people, businesses and organizations. Within this article we will focus on text message marketing, also referred to as SMS message marketing. With today’s technology and fast paced society, text message mobile marketing will give your business the greatest opportunity for the highest return on your investment. Mobile phone users are rapidly increasing and mobile marketing is providing a significant platform for businesses to reach a specific and targeted audience, almost immediately.

Text messaging is a powerful and emerging new method of advertising and can significantly expand and brand your business. Businesses of all types and sizes can benefit considerably with the use of text message marketing. There are more than five billion cell phones users in the world and that number is consistently and rapidly increasing. SMS text message marketing has an exceptional delivery rate, with over ninety-seven percent of text messages being opened, usually within minutes from being received. Messages are delivered fast, providing you with the ability to contact your customers immediately with new products and services, or the latest industry news and information. This is an outstanding source of marketing and a truly unique and effective way to speak directly to your target audience. Having an open line of communication with your clients can also give you an exclusive and personal quality, as well as a great advantage over your competition.
Those receiving your messages will have to opt in to your service in order to receive your messages. Promote your “text to” numbers within all your current marketing campaigns, social media sites, blogs, etc. This will build an important list of clients that have an expressed, current interest in your product or service and are asking for more information. Be sure to utilize your text messaging campaigns effectively. Be creative when creating your mobile marketing campaigns. Consider offering a discounted price on a purchase made within the next two hours, or exclusive offers and deals to a specific list of clients. Geographical marketing is an effective feature which allows for your message to be delivered to a specific, targeted consumer base, resulting in higher returns and increased sales. Your messages should always include something of value, whether it is product or service discounts, information, or news updates.

Mobile marketing is rapidly growing and developing. With the technology built into today’s smartphones we are able to do some truly amazing things with mobile marketing. A successful business must keep up to date with their industry as well as their customers. Consumers today are technology-based; they are connected to their phones nearly twenty-four hours a day. Creating and launching a successful mobile marketing campaign can be done by any business of any size. Text message marketing receives the highest response rate compared to any other marketing method available today. Mobile marketing is here to stay. Incorporate text message marketing into your business, increase your sales, save yourself some time and money, and sit back and watch your business grow.

In order to take advantage of the high prevalence of cell phone use, marketers have begun to take advantage of a strategy called mobile marketing in 2011. Mobile marketing means that business owners will communicate with their customer base with their mobile phones and other apparatuses. They can do this by sending messages about a new promotion that requires the customers’ participation, to let them know that they have a sale going on or to send them to a website.

Teaching mobile marketing strategies is something that marketing coaches would benefit from greatly, because it will raise their value in the coaching market. Mobile technology is so pervasive, that it would be negligent on a business coach’s part to not know anything about mobile marketing. Several statistics demonstrate why this would be the case. In the United States alone, the use of text messaging has increased astronomically in just a couple of years. In January of 2006, only 18 billion text messages were sent every month, but in June of 2008 the number had exploded to 75 billion text messages.

The statistics do not just show that text messaging is increasing in the United States, but that it is also growing around the world. 4.1 billion people all over the world have some sort of mobile device. In China alone, the number of people with mobile apparatuses amounts to 400 million, while 50 million mobile customers residing in Indonesia. The amazing thing is that in no less than 30 countries, the number of people with mobile devices surpasses 100 percent which means that some of these people have more than one of these instruments.

We have started to see many companies in many sectors use sms marketing such as payday loans companies, ppi companies and even respectable high street brands start to use sms marketing as a method to get their brand exposed to more and more customers.

Because so many people have the tools that allow for text messaging, multiple businesses have the opportunity to benefit from this new technology and to learn it form marketing coaches. Coaches can teach their students the best strategies for using this new technology. For example, the important thing for marketers to do is to gear their messages toward all the different types of mobile devices that exist. Apps are always being created that make using mobile apparatuses easier; as marketers create their messages, they can do it with a particular app in mind.

The use of apps has grown and is expected to grow in the future. In 2010, iTunes saw 5 billion apps downloaded to people’s mobile devices. IBM has made a prediction for the year 2015; they believe that more apps for mobile devices will be downloaded than any other type of app. With these statistics, marketing coaches have a new and important direction to take their clients and they will need the advice of someone who knows how to make it work. A marketing coach who does not take the time to learn about mobile marketing will be left far behind in the industry.

Tips for making a perfect home office

March 10, 2013 by

538070_home_office_deskTips for making a perfect home office

As workplaces become increasingly flexible, with more and more of us working from home rather than suffering long commutes into the city, an office space becomes a necessity in one’s home. This is when you face a range of options and solutions from a bed that turns into a desk to a bespoke home fitted office with a solid corner desk and the choices become a big deal, however if you follow the tips below you will find your decision might get a little easier:

Look round your home for inspiration

Look at the various spaces in your home and then you can decide on which is the right places to set up your perfect home office. Maybe you have a spare bedroon and then options that are available to you will open up, however if you are limited by space you might need to think about a more compact solution such as a fitted office with custom made furniture.

Whichever solution you choose you should make sure that you will be happy in that location, maybe you want to be near a window for natural light, or maybe the glare from the window will disturb you. Maybe you want to near the kitchen for convenience of getting refreshments, or perhaps the temptation of being near the biscuit tin is too much for you.

Make a list of the locations you could position your home home and then decide which one is the most suitable for your needs and then start planning the layout.

Office chairs – Don’t be a rule book:

While we want to be comfortable as we will probably be spending some time sitting down at out desks, budget constraints can come into play. The latest ergonomically designed office chairs can cost many hundreds of pounds and while some are happy making double use of the side chair, stool or a dining room chair others want the latest design or fashion statement when it come to the office seating part of furniture for a home office. One advantage of using existing chair is that when you’re not at your desk, the dual-role piece can slide to its spot in the room.

Pay-off: A side chair or a dining chair usually is much more chic than an office chair anyway.

Seek out desk which takes up little space. Secretary desks are perfect fits. We also like desks that serve as display areas, entry tables or console tables when not in use. These kind of desks easily blend into a guest room, living room, dining room or entry.

Jazz up your desk:

By adding things such as a handsome table lamp, candles, journals, favourite art books – you transform your desk into a lovely vignette of the room. The additions make it seem naturally fitting.

Accessories and organisation.

Pens, pencils and paper clips look lovely when lodged in a cute jar or vase. Make sure you hide all the unsightly cables and clear away dust regularly.

Finishing touches:

Add a plant to reduce any feeling of isolation, a vision board reminding you of your priorities and biz goals every time you walk into the room and sit down to slog it out! Throw in a music system to produce some smooth background music, or even something to jig to, to celebrate striking a new business deal.

At the end, when you’ve built your perfect home office pat yourself on the back.

THE FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA

January 16, 2013 by

first digital cameraCreated in December 1975, by an engineer at Eastman Kodak, the first digital camera had a lens that was stolen from the reject bin of the factory’s Super 8 video-camera production line. Tacked onto the side was a digital cassette recorder.

Inside the contraption were 16 nickel cadmium batteries, an unreliable early version of CCD imaging area array, and a/d converter implementation stolen from a digital voltmeter and several dozen circuits and circuit boards.

Steve Sasson’s creation was cumbersome, to say the least, but, nevertheless, revolutionary.

 

***

the first digital camera

With less that 100th of a Megapixel, the camera recorded only black and white photo to the cassette tape. Each photograph would take 20-30 seconds to display. To play back images, data was read from the tape and then displayed on a television set, via a “microcomputer” that didn’t exactly live up to its name.

***

In many ways, this device broke new ground. It was the first camera that operated without film. The first to display images without the use of physical media.

Despite these advances, it met with much resistance. Sasson has explained that many individuals questioned the logic of the move. Many couldn’t envisage anybody wanting to view their pictures on a screen. Many couldn’t imagine an electronic version of a photo album. It was also predicted that it could take the technology between 20 and 30 hours to reach a consumer – an ETA of the mid-1990s. Some even went as far to as to say that Kodak ‘would never find a way to sell digital cameras‘.

The team at the Kodak Apparatus Division Research, had no real idea as to whether these questions would be answered. That team; which included Rick Osiecki, Bob DeYager and Jim Schueckler; were ultimately vindicated by the many technological developments of recent decades. Personal computers, the internet and fibre-optic technology have all advanced the taking and storing of photography.

Steve Sasson, in the technical report of the time, expressed an unsure hope that this could be the case:

“The camera described in this report represents a first attempt demonstrating a photographic system which may, with improvements in technology, substantially impact the way pictures will be taken in the future.”

Are Promotional Products Worth The Money?

November 6, 2012 by

Promotional items are a tried and tested way to win business, but who was it that had the brainwave that spending money to give stuff away would be one of the best ways to win new business? It doesn’t seem intuitive, yet time and time again it yields results.

Starting in 1789 with free badges to celebrate the inauguration of George Washington, promotional products, “novelty and specialty goods” as they were known, are a tradition that have reached our shores from America. The first promotional items were used by newspapers (who had access to the printing presses needed to brand the items- makes sense) to increase the circulation of their papers. The giveaways were basic items that people needed like blankets, bags, calendars and aprons. From there, the product range has grown and grown, to include real novelties like nodding dogs and stress balls. There is something for every niche nowadays and something for every budget too.

When used creatively, promotional gifts do more than simply promote or advertise, sure they can improve your sales figures, but they can also raise staff morale and encourage staff satisfaction and retention.  They can be used as a reward- presenting high end items to reward success in the company will inevitably encourage loyalty.

If you get it right and choose products that will be used by your staff or customers in the places that you want to get your brand recognised, you will have been successful at turning them into walking adverts. Concentrate on your demographic, what do they do and where do they do it and the rest will follow.

The old sayings are always the best, look after your customers and they will look after you. Show them that they are appreciated by giving them a small (and useful or novel) gift and they will reward you with greater loyalty than you could otherwise expect. There are many ways that promotional products can be used, and it is up to you to make a decision about your aims and expectations when using them. Whatever you decide upon, you can be sure that they are a sound investment for any business.

What can happen if oral hygiene is not maintained?

December 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Oral hygiene is extremely important as it helps to protect the teeth and gums and prevent harmful oral health conditions which can otherwise wreak devastation on the state of one’s mouth. Any dentist will tell you that good oral hygiene is a much and ought to comprise tooth brushing done twice daily, on top of flossing and swirling mouthwash. Even they’re told to do so many people don’t bother with flossing, but it is an integral part of a good oral hygiene routine since it helps to get rid of plaque deposits.

Nowadays, there is a huge range of oral hygiene products on offer and it can be difficult to choose which product will suit you best. Many brands have comprehensive ranges of products, which all claim to be the best, so choosing one can be very hard. Dentists recommend using products that are geared towards your individual situation; if, for example, you suffer from sensitive teeth, you should use toothpaste that has been specially designed to protect against this problem. Many brands have products for sensitive teeth.

If oral hygiene is not maintained and you allow your oral health to go unwatched, this can lead to complications such as infection and the possibility of missing teeth. In such situations, dental implants can be a handy tool of tooth replacement. More info for this is on www.dentalimplants.org.uk. Dental bridges and crowns also function well when replacing missing teeth.

Dentists recommend using electric toothbrushes because they remove more plaque than brushing with a normal toothbrush; the heads are often smaller and more flexible, meaning they can reach into the corners of the mouth and the increased speed of brush strokes removes more plaque and polishes the teeth more effectively.

Using mouthwash on a daily basis can also help to remove plaque and bacteria and will also help to stave off halitosis (commonly known as bad breath). Most mouthwashes have a pleasant minty taste that will refresh the mouth and leave your breath smelling fragrant and fresh.

What are the causes of obesity and how can it be prevented?

November 11, 2011 by Leave a Comment

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the measurement used to compare a person’s weight and height and defines whether someone is underweight, of normal weight, overweight or obese. The pre-obese/overweight BMI measurement is between 25 kg – 30 kg per m2. A BMI over 30 kg per m2 indicates obesity with abnormally high amounts of body mass or fat. Obesity usually occurs over time and is caused by genetics, lifestyle and social choices, diet, health and medication.

Genetics

A person can be born with a predisposition to becoming obese, and for this some seek gastric band surgery. Genetics plays a role in how our bodies metabolise food and the rate at which body mass develops. Some of us have faster metabolisms than others so we retain a more constant normal weight over time. A slower metabolism can contribute to a higher amount of body fat, which does not break down into energy. An increase in body mass is linked to less energy or a lower desire to do exercise. Such lifestyle choices can drive obesity development further.

Lifestyle Choices

We are motivated to choose a lifestyle and activities based on how we feel. If we feel a lack of energy, we are less likely to want to do exercise and more likely to increase in weight. Unhealthy lifestyle choices, like spending excessive hours in front of a television or computer instead of having intervals of exercise with fresh air, can also lead to unhealthy food choices. Social choices such as smoking or drinking in excess also raise or depress our appetite, affecting diet.

Diet

The foods and liquids we consume can contribute to either a healthy or unhealthy diet. Our diet can be influenced greatly by the company we keep. A diet of poor or unbalanced nutritional content may consist of eating fast or processed foods, fewer fruits and vegetables, comfort eating, excess alcohol or tea/coffee and larger food portions. A poor diet contributes to ill-health.

Health and medication

Periods of ill-health or certain conditions like under-active thyroid, ovarian cysts or over-production of certain steroids in the body can cause weight increase. Our food impacts on our brain’s chemical function. Medications like the pill or anti-depressants can also raise body weight. A medical practitioner can advise you more on causes of obesity and choices that can help you reduce your weight, such as diet, lifestyle, medication or surgery, which may include gastric band surgery, gastric bypass surgery and weight loss surgery.
