Don’t want to look like a bodybuilder? That shouldn’t keep you from using weights into your workout plans. A women’s body is not built like a man’s body. You’re not going to bulk up using heavy weights. You simply do not have the testosterone to make it happen. Unless of course you are training to compete as a bodybuilder, than you would need to take other measures. But if this doesn’t sound like you than by all means use some weights.

City tap water can contain as much chlorine as the water in a swimming pool, most of which is removed by a shower filter. This chlorine can dry out your skin and hair, removing the natural oils essential to its health, leading to dry, itchy skin and rough hair. A shower filter absorbs this chlorine into the filter media, removing it from your water, leading to smoother skin and softer hair. The neutral pH and softer water from a better shower filter unit will give you silky skin, and soap lathers more easily than ever before. Read the rest of this entry »

If you have young children, you might have enrolled them into a kid’s gym class. Some of these classes start when the child is one year’s old. What they learn at a young age is body awareness. Through play children are encouraged to walk a balance beam, tumble, climb stairs, hang from stationary bars, as well as do other physical activity. All to allow children to feel comfortable with their bodies, gain confidence in them, and develop their memory muscles. Teenagers who pick up a skateboard do so for the fun of it, but what they are really doing is developing balance and motor coordination skills. When the weather doesn’t allow for play on a skateboard or a surfboard, these kids continue to play but this time it’s on a balance board. A rocker-roller board like the cool Vew Do Zippy Balance Board is a great responsive board. Read the rest of this entry »

We have quite a few food allergies in our family including egg and nut allergies, so I often end up having to make our desserts and special occasion cakes. I really don’t mind since I like knowing exactly what is in the food we’re eating, plus I tend to make healthier choices on ingredients compared to the store-bought versions. Of course, I sometimes run into problems of not having the right cake pan on-hand when I want to make a specific kind of cake. One of my families favorite cakes recently was a simple ice cream cake made with a graham cracker crust. Having to use a pie pan made the cake a little smaller than I would have liked and I realized that next time I’ll make a big ice cream layer cake instead using a Commercial-Weight Kaiser LaForme Springform Pan.

You’d think that with what – at times- seems like 6 months of winter (but really it’s not) it would be easier to find an abundance of outdoor bonsai’s in Canada. But strangely that is not the case. You can find junipers and if you know where to look you can find Chinese Elms which adapt quite easily to outdoor culture, even in Toronto. But finding more than an occasional and seemingly random scattering of Maples or Japanese Maples, Larch, Pine, spruce or especially any flowering fruit bonsai trees seems to just be too much to hope for. But I haven’t stopped trying and was really pleased to be able to find some Japanese Black Pine Bonsai for Canada at Zen Garden Bonsai. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re an orange cappuccino fan, like me, you’re going to get hooked on this Orange Nutmeg Coffee Mix. By using real orange peel, there is no escaping the decidedly citrus aroma and taste. The nutmeg adds a nice warm fragrance and flavor to the coffee. Even though you can just stir this mix together, I prefer to use my blender so the mix gets nice and smooth. You might also want to tweak the sugar just a little to suit your own taste. The nutmeg is so nice, you don’t want to hide the flavor with too much sugar. You may also have your little ones drooling over your cup of coffee, so watch out! Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been taking a good look at some of the kitchenware in my home and considering what items might need updating or replacing. I didn’t intend to buy new items, but it all started when I began running out of cabinet storage space in my kitchen. So I started pulling pots and pans and gadgets out to figure out what I was and was not using. I found a few items that I thought I could probably sell and other items that would be good for donation. The items that bothered me the most were my plastic containers. Many had become stained from years of use and a couple of lids had gone missing for some of them. I really don’t like storing my food in plastic anymore, so I’ve decided that it’s time for me to buy a good glass food storage container set. Read the rest of this entry »

It is often difficult to think of what to give as Groomsmen Gifts for your wedding. Your groomsmen are an integral part of your groom’s pre-wedding experience and they will also chaperone your bridesmaids during the day. Giving them the perfect gift is a great way to say “Thank You” for all their work, time and attention. Groomsmen gifts tend to be more useful items, such as pint glasses, poker sets, cufflinks or watches. If you know your groomsmen very well, a more unique but still luxurious item is also appropriate to give. Personalized frames, flasks and similar gifts personalized are very popular. Larger items like luggage and tool sets are also given if they are in the couple’s price range.
Themed gifts would also be great for a strongly themed wedding. For example, for a traditional Scottish wedding, Groomsmen Gifts could be Green Plaid flasks, a beer mug with pewter emblem, or a personalized golf towel. For a beach wedding, a personalized towel and flip-flops can be a fun alternative. Regardless of your budget, great groomsmen gifts can be well-chosen to fit in with your theme and the varied personalities of all your groomsmen.
