Traditional Marketing Tactics that Still Work

Posted on

As a business, you’ve probably heard that you need to replace your traditional marketing tactics, such as direct mail or radio/television advertisements, with online tactics, such as social media or digital ads.

There is no denying that the Internet is a great way to generate business and engage with your audience. People use social media on a daily basis, and having a social media presence is essential to reach out to your customers or clients on a personal level and engage with them one on one.

People also use the Internet everyday, so it’s important to have a website that is rich in SEO keywords and tactics. Plus, most online marketing tactics can be a bit cheaper than traditional mediums, though that’s not always the case. [Read more…]

Living (and loving) Life)

If you are not a big fan of going to the gym, there is no need to worry. The simple act of walking, always a far gentler alternative, is a great way of getting all the exercise and fresh air you need to keep you in good health. Indeed, walking is good for us all. Here are six reasons why:

1 – Get the day off to a great start

There is, perhaps, nothing better to prepare yourself for the hard day ahead than taking a brisk morning stroll. Indeed, it is certainly far better than sitting in a traffic jam or cramming yourself onto a busy bus. Not only will walking before work suitably wake you up but it will also relieve any of the stress you may have from a restless night.

2 – The health benefits

Walking, in fact, is a gentle form of aerobic exercise and that’s good for your lungs and heart. Moreover, walking won’t put undue pressure on your joints like running and jogging tends to do. It will also help to significantly develop better muscle tone and, as we shall see, can also be great for reducing excess body fat. [Read more…]

Cancer Causers to Remove From Your Home

Posted on

Here in the 21st century we live in a world where the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat can be carcinogenic (i.e. cancer-causing). It seems that if we are to lead normal lives and not head for the mountain tops, we will inevitably be exposed to some of these substances while going about our business.

And while we can work to make the air, water and food we consume cleaner and healthier, there are limits to what we can do to remove these carcinogens from our environment.

Something that is firmly under our control, however, is the presence of cancer-causing substances in our homes. I have taken steps to remove as many of these kinds of things from my home environment, and so should you – at least you will know that your home surroundings are free from common carcinogens.

Here are some of the most common cancer causers to remove from your home: [Read more…]

How to Get your Kids to Help in the Kitchen

Posted on

I love teaching my kids how to cook. I like watching their faces as they light up when I let them mix something, pour something, or even measure something.

Cooking together also encourages healthy eating habits and responsibility. It also ensures my kids know how to boil water for pasta, cook an egg, or even make toast.

I also find that with my fussy eater, she is more likely to try something if she had a hand in making it. I can give you the example of the meatloaf. She would NEVER touch meatloaf ever.

However, one day I had her help me make it and I made it the same way I always did. But because she had a hand in making it, she wanted to try the fruits of our labor. Guess what? Now she eats meatloaf. [Read more…]
