Weekends are a perfect time to catch a nutritious breakfast and relax with your family. You have enough time to experiment with different recipes over the <a href="https://www.bestrecipes.com.au/entertaining/galleries/best-breakfast-recipes/u1p4og20" target="_blank">weekend</a> and indulge in creative breakfast ideas to satisfy your palate. For instance, you can prepare an exotic coffee in the morning with pancakes, or champagne with Kahlua cream French toast. Here are some other indulgent <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2019/04/a-breakfast-shake-up-with-shaken-udder.html" target="_blank">breakfast ideas</a> for an extra special weekend.</span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7QDzdnu78AKu4YGaXTyQ1VakiZ4lQv3nkKKbgkx6fK53nVaNRhfiGmgd3x1zWvNzF8QtD8FoPH0kZZjSvj2aj7WwAzsTfeA15P-iUFYagFmGtJBVS9ILGR4whbRrwYxWaDPwdEhyphenhyphenuZinfrG4l4WQvb5HJoWyaxF0wXYi_8rxZaJ9vDz5AtQkaIY7IydU/s4483/SAM_5157-01-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4483" data-original-width="2989" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7QDzdnu78AKu4YGaXTyQ1VakiZ4lQv3nkKKbgkx6fK53nVaNRhfiGmgd3x1zWvNzF8QtD8FoPH0kZZjSvj2aj7WwAzsTfeA15P-iUFYagFmGtJBVS9ILGR4whbRrwYxWaDPwdEhyphenhyphenuZinfrG4l4WQvb5HJoWyaxF0wXYi_8rxZaJ9vDz5AtQkaIY7IydU/s16000/SAM_5157-01-01.jpeg" /></a></div><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Espresso Waffles with Rich Mocha</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Espresso waffles with mocha make an elaborate breakfast fit for a lazy weekend morning. Start by mixing a cup of almonds, a half tablespoon of sugar, and adding a teaspoon of baking soda and powder each. Get another bowl and mix a cup of milk, melted butter, and some eggs. Include the dry ingredients and mix them to make a consistent batter. Heat the waffle iron and spread the batter on it until the waffles are golden brown. Finally, prepare the sauce with a cup of condensed milk, and you are ready to kick-start your indulgent weekend.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Exotic Coffee </span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Coffee is one popular beverage that can best settle your stomach in the morning. A cup of coffee is particularly helpful for those who experience stomach upset after eating breakfast. Studies show drinking it with breakfast meals can boost your digestion for the rest of the day by stimulating the activity of the gastric gastric juices. A cup of coffee is probiotic, so it nourishes your intestinal flora and maintains the health of your intestinal bacteria. For your indulgent breakfast weekend, why not try premium exotic coffee brands from countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia or even Kopi Luwak coffee from Indonesia. Fortunately, preparing this drink over the weekend can take an exciting twist- as a tip, consider learning <a href="https://codeblackcoffee.com.au/blogs/brew-guides/plunger-french-press" target="_blank">how to make plunger coffee</a> for a more interesting and satisfying breakfast. </p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Nutrient-rich Cereals</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">From nuts and seeds granola to overnight oats, there are numerous ways to prepare nutritious <a href="https://www.kelloggs.com/en-in/health-and-nutrition/benefits-of-cereal.html#:~:text=Cereal%20provides%20complex%20carbohydrates%20including,provide%20the%20much%20needed%20nourishment." target="_blank">cereals </a>for breakfast. A batch of nutty and maple-sweetened granola will make your morning a delight. It’s a reliable, ultra-healthy idea to start your day strong. Overnight oats are probably one of the easiest breakfast recipes the average person can try. Spending a few minutes to prepare the recipe before bed means you will wake up to a ready-made breakfast. Another practical idea is to make Norwegian Risgrot Rice Porridge. This festive riding pudding is not only soul-satisfying but also a heart-warming treat that is impossible to dislike.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">4. Spinach Pancakes</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Spinach pancakes aren’t just a healthy treat for the weekend but also pleasant for your eyes and taste buds. Bright green spinach pancakes can keep you feeling full for a longer time. You can try this weekend recipe by blending an egg, a cup of spinach, and buttermilk. Add the mixture to a teaspoon of baking soda, whole wheat flour, and powder, and spice up the taste with some sugar and salt. Make sure the mixture has a smooth consistency, and pour a ladle of the pancake mixture on a hot pan greased with oil. Cook until the pancake appears golden on each side. Finally, serve the indulgent breakfast with your favourite condiment; feel free to experiment by drizzling some maple syrup on the mixture.</p>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-22936299002980999912024-02-23T10:45:00.024+00:002024-02-28T07:41:48.734+00:00Game Night Just Got a Whole Lot More Exciting with That Escalated Quickly<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Family game night is a great way to spend time together and bond as a family. In a world where digital distractions are ever-present, setting aside time for games and laughter can help families reconnect and create lasting memories. It can also be great way for children to build on their strategic skills as well as work on their verbal communication.

It is the perfect game to play with family or friends or would be ideal to use as part of a team building exercise for people in business. It will get players to work together, with lots of laughs along the way. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In each round, every player will get a secret card with a number between 1 and 10, then one player will try to order those cards from highest to lowest - without looking at them.

Everyone will then say an answer out loud that they feel matches their secret number. Then they will try to put those answers in order from lowest to highest and if you're successful - everyone wins. If any of them are out of order then everyone fails.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Set Up</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First, shuffle the <i>Questions Cards</i> and <i>Number Cards</i> separately and put them face down on the table. Note that the question cards are actually double sided, so it would be better to pick a colour and stick to that one colour for the entire games and put that colour face down.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next, put the score mat in the middle of the table. Then, pick a player to go first. If you're playing with 2 or 3 players the set up is slightly different. The rules are the same, except you'll deal 2 Number Cards face down, side-by-side, in front of each player. You can look at your cards, but don't change their positions, and keep the numbers secret.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfsYivtsEpzJe2J0ZkXLAcsGYf_pXIkRlNRmG3axz8Rp-vTm0lZq_Zq5x6Ttb6dBWNGk2F9VOB5-ZXG6t9SpWRmYbrTzCbE5MNe99hR5-L37Mk-zjlnDcIahPpc12Xy2q8IQkDCR4mv2pJJ4m5wWFXm_YeQfrMiNQZP05hdlvbQnzKRmzEKTxaEeE-FI/s3838/1000056550-02.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3838" data-original-width="2554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfsYivtsEpzJe2J0ZkXLAcsGYf_pXIkRlNRmG3axz8Rp-vTm0lZq_Zq5x6Ttb6dBWNGk2F9VOB5-ZXG6t9SpWRmYbrTzCbE5MNe99hR5-L37Mk-zjlnDcIahPpc12Xy2q8IQkDCR4mv2pJJ4m5wWFXm_YeQfrMiNQZP05hdlvbQnzKRmzEKTxaEeE-FI/s16000/1000056550-02.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This means each player is pretending to be 2 players - this way you have enough cards to make the game challenging. When it's your turn as <i>The Organizer</i>, read the <i>Question Card </i>out loud. Then, all players will give an answer based on their <i>Number Card </i>on their RIGHT. After each player has given their first answer, you'll go around again and (starting with you) each give an answer for the card on your LEFT. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Taking Your Turn</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. When it's your turn, you're <i>The Organizer</i>. So take the all the <i>Number Cards</i> and deal everyone, including yourself, a number making sure that they are face down. Everyone can look at their card, but must keep it secret.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. Then <i>The Organizer</i> will turn over the first <i>Question Card</i> and read the question out loud.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. So now, it's time for everyone to give their answers in a way that you think matches the secret number on your card. The Organizer gives their answer first and then all the players continue clockwise to give their answers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcPZxkZRczhKzMp3ucLImc-W8NzLNZViFLcmEKxYy8BZH9ST89h4iJK4NJGGaNwSz_l4JIhcsDLd9YtNIO87xOGA2uxWvid5es6DjChIA6IBn5txymLJ40NzChLuGHM8k7aSwnnns6lqAZwVr3VbzgwEf5SQVpemWH-3cBtTSFjdZIhe8tq2-pf4smeyY/s4592/1000056165-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3056" data-original-width="4592" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcPZxkZRczhKzMp3ucLImc-W8NzLNZViFLcmEKxYy8BZH9ST89h4iJK4NJGGaNwSz_l4JIhcsDLd9YtNIO87xOGA2uxWvid5es6DjChIA6IBn5txymLJ40NzChLuGHM8k7aSwnnns6lqAZwVr3VbzgwEf5SQVpemWH-3cBtTSFjdZIhe8tq2-pf4smeyY/w640-h426/1000056165-01.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, if we take the example from earlier '<i>My Friend dared me to do something while blind folded. What Should I do</i>?' On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is the LEAST dangerous and MOST Dangerous. If your <i>Number Card</i> was 1 you may say something like <i>'Sit Down</i>' for a 5 Number Card you might say '<i>Make a Sandwich</i>' or for a 10 you might say '<i>Go For a Walk in a Busy Town</i>'.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. After everyone has given their answers, it's time to organise the cards from lowest to highest. Pick the player you believe has the lowest card number first and slide it over to <i>The Organizer</i>. Continue to do this until the last player has revealed their <i>Number Card</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. If you flipped over all the number correctly from lowest to highest, you all get a point. Then, place your Question Card on the GOOD CARD spot on the Score Mat.

You're allowed to make one mistake when it comes to flipping the cards over after being organised in order by simply discarded the incorrect card. Then, continue to reveal the remaining Number Cards. If you make any more mistakes you've lost the round. So you must place you Question Card in the BAD CARDS place on the Score Mat</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">6. The round is over.

Everyone should have a skincare refresh shake up from time to time.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4WRcE6MEYdmFaH-HeEe82Y6LjvWAEhLTgvpYP6BrYLRuNgl0gc6s_S4WcL6peDA_XoTZZUH8ZWWn2oviLhdofTCValor2xQ3HnP5LipWxNnEKhZ75OEfxpoDZ9WDgnPlAaje7dyXJZsPXFwLRQt4jinaJL5BoMyR1t2tBY9BPisbc88wToZ7QXYomWYM/s4592/1000055452-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3056" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4WRcE6MEYdmFaH-HeEe82Y6LjvWAEhLTgvpYP6BrYLRuNgl0gc6s_S4WcL6peDA_XoTZZUH8ZWWn2oviLhdofTCValor2xQ3HnP5LipWxNnEKhZ75OEfxpoDZ9WDgnPlAaje7dyXJZsPXFwLRQt4jinaJL5BoMyR1t2tBY9BPisbc88wToZ7QXYomWYM/s16000/1000055452-01.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A good skincare routine doesn't have to be a 10-step routine to include a whole range of products. The best way to shake up a skincare routine is to not over complicated it and just give your skin what it needs. Go back to basics when it comes to cleansing and choosing a moisturiser that coincide with the changing seasons to ensure your skin is getting the level of moisture it needs. By adding an essence or serum can really do wonders for a skincare routine to help hydrate the skin and boost the skin barrier, but not overload your skin.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But, one of my favourite things to do to my skin is exfoliate. A good exfoliation is the holy grail that will always deliver instant results. It will help to wash away dead skin cells and leave your skin glowing so that the rest of your skincare can sink in and replenish all the goodness. So, yes, a good exfoliation is always for the win.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtXL2bH8IlmD_E6zNhDs51RPGR8pr_RULsCDzO2HvbPaU-bPb6lRAZhLEcbK26qjzNSKjQJk1Pu3TielvhI7ntR2widq-H2mGa64tvNEGdzGSLRufg1427vneKkH3uOGZAV5wCejDLskWJ-2Kaf9ePK4ewGzsCJ2bwDxJUCimmEiGJ2XsclqS5Df1ohFo/s4592/1000055512-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3056" data-original-width="4592" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtXL2bH8IlmD_E6zNhDs51RPGR8pr_RULsCDzO2HvbPaU-bPb6lRAZhLEcbK26qjzNSKjQJk1Pu3TielvhI7ntR2widq-H2mGa64tvNEGdzGSLRufg1427vneKkH3uOGZAV5wCejDLskWJ-2Kaf9ePK4ewGzsCJ2bwDxJUCimmEiGJ2XsclqS5Df1ohFo/w640-h426/1000055512-01.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can exfoliate your skin in many different ways; whether it's with a simple scrub, a face mask or one that's recently gained a lot of popularity, dermaplaning - curiosity got the better of me so I knew I needed to find out everything about dermaplaning.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What is Dermaplaning?</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dermaplaning is a form of exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz from your face that leaves your skin feeling super smooth.

It can also be effective for treating hyperpigmentation on the surface of the skin as well as some minor scars, leading to a brighter and more even skin tone.

Always, start by cleansing your face and patting it dry with a towel. You should also thoroughly clean your dermaplane blade too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. Take the safety cap off the razor and place it at a 45 degree angle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. On one side of your face and hold your skin taut with one hand.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Using the other hand, hold the dermaplaning tool at a 45-degree angle and gently move the tool in a downwards motion. Small, gentle strokes in a downward motion.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. Repeat across your whole face to exfoliate the skin and remove all unwanted facial hair.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">6. Cleanse and dry the skin and finish by applying a nourishing serums like the <i>Skin Nectar Radiance Facial Serum</i> to rehydrate the skin.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">7. Then apply a barrier with a cream, serum or a few drops of oil such as Aloe Vera, Rosehip or a Vitamin E</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Dermaplaning or Oilplaning?</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A dermaplaning facial is typically done on freshly cleansed and dry skin. However, for the sensitive girlies, oilplaning is a wonderful alternative where you apply a facial before any removal. The best oil to use for dermaplaning depends on your skin type and your skin conditions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLRiVm5QYkcmhS4rPZbeD2ntxqbaVy5-JPXLP2yySzhHxbmFY0Lu3tqhWqX910Fajr96sc2SPN77fzhTrDKCHMdor1JUDtzePDDDi0JOSHE0YhZL6_wh_BYMzqfwv9CizsVJxEpynL9VK5OqbhlKW7Vv9wupsFEPu9gfxZ0dwfZ0Xd6iUR01TAOVjbGMM/s4592/1000056821-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3056" data-original-width="4592" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLRiVm5QYkcmhS4rPZbeD2ntxqbaVy5-JPXLP2yySzhHxbmFY0Lu3tqhWqX910Fajr96sc2SPN77fzhTrDKCHMdor1JUDtzePDDDi0JOSHE0YhZL6_wh_BYMzqfwv9CizsVJxEpynL9VK5OqbhlKW7Vv9wupsFEPu9gfxZ0dwfZ0Xd6iUR01TAOVjbGMM/w640-h426/1000056821-01.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By using a facial oil can make it easier for the razor to glide across the skin for a more gentle exfoliation and hair removal. Oilplaning is perfect for more dry skin types or especially sensitive skin types which may be irritated by dermaplaning on dry skin.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oilplaning is for skin types that might get a reaction from dermaplaning on dry skin. This can include mature skin, dry skin, skin with a rough texture, sensitive and reactive skin, and eczema-prone skin. But, combination skin can choose either oilplaning or dermaplaning based on their preference.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Although oil dermaplaning is a good choice for most, there are still some exceptions. Those with raised lesions, contact dermatitis, open sores, and active or cystic acne should not undergo this kind of treatment at home, they should consult a dermatologist.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Don't Forget to Rehydrate and Replenish Your Skin.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whether you go with dermaplaning or oilplaning, there are some really important aftercare tips that everyone should follow as your skin may be sensitive. As you're doing the treatment at home, it is important that you use a gentle cleanser to remove any dead skin cells or hair that may be left behind.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You must rehydrate your skin by using moisturising and nourishing products that will help restore the skin barrier.

Yet, you might wish to make your garden look beautiful year-round. If you lack the energy or expertise for a beautiful garden, you’ve come to the right place. </span></b><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Using this post, you can find the best advice for reducing garden maintenance while maintaining its appearance.</b></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9yeZChqcB7DXo7Q8IvLI_gTmwCFLZKqp3fzlgbwBxH3LYcPWQKEN3cez3dAlngxL19S7bMRuYThYNcNqjHiNfNmfLyfP2aPImdfpYvo9rf7Liyj0VIIL6WBjsXJBEWThD0o3AH7hnUBvbQxSw0YWOVSBb_FGTC0_ijnzKKHjrAukCx5N6B0ta0Hhs_W8/s4592/SAM_1088.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3056" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9yeZChqcB7DXo7Q8IvLI_gTmwCFLZKqp3fzlgbwBxH3LYcPWQKEN3cez3dAlngxL19S7bMRuYThYNcNqjHiNfNmfLyfP2aPImdfpYvo9rf7Liyj0VIIL6WBjsXJBEWThD0o3AH7hnUBvbQxSw0YWOVSBb_FGTC0_ijnzKKHjrAukCx5N6B0ta0Hhs_W8/s16000/SAM_1088.jpg" /></a></div><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Mulch is Your New Best Friend</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are certain materials that you can use that will help reduce maintenance while guaranteeing a happy garden. For example, you need to use <a href="https://www.bianchibrickyard.com/mulch-topsoil-for-sale-in-leland/" target="_blank">mulch topsoil</a> if you want your plants to last longer. They will enjoy moisture retention, so you can be sure to maintain them without adding an excessive amount of water. When you use the right materials, you can reduce your maintenance while still making sure that your garden thrives.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mulch helps to conserve soil moisture by reducing evaporation from the soil surface. It also suppresses weed growth. Keep in mind that it takes anywhere from 1-4 million weed seeds per acre to produce a solid stand of weeds. By eliminating this light source, you reduce or eliminate the germination of these seeds. Spreading a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch helps to regulate soil temperature and hold moisture in the soil.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Install Low-Maintenance Plants</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Whether you wish to create a <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2023/05/how-to-create-cosy-garden-this-summer.html" target="_blank">cosy garden</a> or a huge vegetable patch, it will help to install low-maintenance plants. Opt for varieties of plants that are well-adapted to your local climate and will require minimal attention and water. Choose native and drought-tolerant plants which are naturally adapted to survive in your local environment. Also, choose plants with low water and low nutrition requirements and that are resistant to pests and diseases.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Plan and Design the Garden Like An Expert</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Plan your garden layout as efficiently as possible and use concepts of permaculture and ecological design. Create zones for different plants based on factors such as sun exposure, soil moisture, and microclimates. Establish companion planting systems that will benefit each other by building up soil fertility, repelling pests, and conserving water. Incorporate sustainable gardening techniques like mulching, composting, and rainwater capture to be as close to a no-waste garden as possible.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Practice Minimal Pruning and Deadheading</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Take a minimalist approach to pruning and deadheading to keep your garden looking its best without <a href="https://www.growveg.co.uk/guides/storing-and-preserving-your-garden-harvest/" target="_blank">garden preservation efforts</a>. Prune visibly dead, damaged, or diseased branches and deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowering and healthy growth. Prune only as necessary to maintain the shape and structure of each plant and avoid excessive trimming that can lead to excessive growth and, therefore, more pruning.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Use Natural Pest Control </span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Utilize natural pest control methods to manage common garden pests and reduce the necessity for chemical solutions. Draw and keep natural predators, such as birds, ladybugs, and beneficial insects, that feed on garden pests by creating habitat and food sources. Disrupt pest lifecycles and decrease pest pressure organically by practicing crop rotation, companion planting, and intercropping. Safeguard vulnerable plants from pest injury without chemical pesticides by using physical barriers such as row covers and netting</p>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-74323234946858812062024-02-01T12:54:00.001+00:002024-02-02T09:54:29.119+00:00Sweet Heart Rice Krispie Treats<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What could be better than krispie treats?

Place the butter in a large pan and cook over a low heat. Once the butter is melted, add mini marshmallows to the pan and stir until the marshmallows are melted. The add a couple of drops of red food colouring to the pan and stir to mix. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. Stir the Rice Krispies into the melted marshmallows, making sure to completely coat the cereal. Once the ingredients are fully mixed, press the cereal mixture into a 9×13 pan coated with non-stick cooking spray. It can get a little messy, so you can use a lightly buttered spoon to smooth over the top and compress the mixture.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. While the mixture is warm use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut the treats into hearts. Transfer the cut treats to a flat surface and allow them to cool completely. The quicker the better as it gets extra sticky as the mixture begins to cool</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Once the cereal treats are fully cooled, melt the white chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Make sure that your bowl doesn't touch the water, as this this burn and spoil the chocolate. Stir the mixture until smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and gently stir. Dip each heart treat halfway into the chocolate and transfer them onto a piece of parchment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiMMb5mB6dVbBLc7L1QsroZiIYYb1FqYmUOKzCIYGGpuS5avGxMjj0nUa_Ah26fM_L7j2XD4ahEK4WOie_P4hgdEVMrZiL1ro88vfLdmRUzcEjYUOGqs4c-EwbpU4sKwD9ZdpvIGXmmbDsK-Rmv5jqF3u7P2HDqtW9mTMpgxWC67og0WqusyfOI3fqFBk/s4592/SAM_8830-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3056" data-original-width="4592" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiMMb5mB6dVbBLc7L1QsroZiIYYb1FqYmUOKzCIYGGpuS5avGxMjj0nUa_Ah26fM_L7j2XD4ahEK4WOie_P4hgdEVMrZiL1ro88vfLdmRUzcEjYUOGqs4c-EwbpU4sKwD9ZdpvIGXmmbDsK-Rmv5jqF3u7P2HDqtW9mTMpgxWC67og0WqusyfOI3fqFBk/w640-h426/SAM_8830-01.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">5.

Therefore, ensuring your home is ready for the season is important.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRVE3oZaxfw-4VXgiBXlypKaJUnt3LAkiCinCHmX3nn-42OWsoI5Wa8Rszo_XUtntOZCr3Fa0M7GDHBhZNPWBpfI8rS2vbCIQ35ZBUh8P5M22uevNjMruiPbvhN4HmM3HjUMoCfLymj0DBfjRApTIQPfBSK-RRv_gUkRF7GE30IvQADJ-qCJlk1cLDH8I/s4896/123omrm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4896" data-original-width="3264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRVE3oZaxfw-4VXgiBXlypKaJUnt3LAkiCinCHmX3nn-42OWsoI5Wa8Rszo_XUtntOZCr3Fa0M7GDHBhZNPWBpfI8rS2vbCIQ35ZBUh8P5M22uevNjMruiPbvhN4HmM3HjUMoCfLymj0DBfjRApTIQPfBSK-RRv_gUkRF7GE30IvQADJ-qCJlk1cLDH8I/s16000/123omrm.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first thing you want to check on is the window, as they can let cold air into your <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2023/09/how-to-feel-more-secure-in-your-home.html" target="_blank">home</a> and also affect your insulation as you lose precious heat. Learning how to overcome a draughty home can help beat the cold and rack up your energy savings. Following these tips below will help to insulate your home properly for the winter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Upgrade to Double or Triple-Glazing</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Double and triple glazing are effective strategies to better insulate your windows. Similar to secondary glazing, <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/double-glazed-windows-1821739" target="_blank">double</a> and triple glazing add more layers of glass to existing windows, greatly enhancing insulation. Two or three glass panes with small spaces between them can trap more air, improving the quality of insulation. However, one downside to these windows is the cost. Apart from that, you may not have permission to replace single-glazed windows with double-glazing if you live in a rented home.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Invest in Thermal Curtains</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another practical way to insulate your windows for winter is to use a set of insulating thermal curtains. These come with a thin piece of foam between the fabric layers, making them effective for combating wayward draughts and chills. Fortunately, investing in thermal curtains won’t break the bank. Shop for affordable ones from home improvement stores, or consider using heaving curtains to achieve a similar effect. Any material that traps the cold is as effective as a sweater.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Use Window Insulation Foam</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Expanding foam is a great tool for quick insulation around windows. Using a foam shooter gun, first, add a little drip in the corner of your windowsill to determine the rate at which it will expand when applied. You can then add a small beam of foam to make an airtight seal around the window frame. Homeowners who don't want to use foam spray can choose foam rubber sealing strips that can stick firmly around their windows. Finally, feel free to consult qualified and accredited insulation installers like <a href="https://allseasonsenergy.co.uk/" target="_blank">All Seasons Energy</a> for tailored advice on how to insulate your windows for winter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Add Rope Caulk</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Consider using a non-hardening material such as rope caulk to seal all draughty areas around your windows. One good thing about rope caulk has to do with the ease of installation. Plus, you can reuse the material for several seasons. Use as many strands of caulk as you require and mould them around the draughty window areas, securing the seal. You can make hard caulk more flexible by dipping it in lukewarm water for a few seconds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Apply Draught Snakes</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Draught snakes are not only ideal for your doors; you can also use them to insulate your windows properly. Consider buying these insulation products online or making them by yourself. It helps to measure the length of your windows to determine the quantity of fabric you need for the insulation. Sew the <a href="https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/advice/draught-proofing/" target="_blank">draught-excluding</a> fabric into a tube-like structure, fill it with dry ice, and you are good to go.</div>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-77840293624283116482023-12-12T12:08:00.001+00:002023-12-13T12:24:32.181+00:00Productive Ways to Spend Time at Home<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Most of us just want to sit on the couch after we get home after a long day at work. Yet while that can be fine for ten minutes, if you’re spending the whole evening there, then you may begin to feel like you’ve somewhat wasted your free time. It’s all too easy to get stuck scrolling through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and before you know it, you’re playing catch up with all the family responsibilities. </span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3ztGr_f0Er3D1-guvqYAMkQ2-TAFKX1z4U7vUXfp6mlpVfdsbIEO5kPr4MPoFhcOGxTGhjr7eYk-uZHsPRKXvJNJuf1r-FURhn6gaCjHNefaD1kt05DFnsO4HtEQ8fvhHYPXFEHZhe2JUQlfzbvw4F6iBNAvy5nsUFIKhLZMgvjKxMQ0rbKancHeP3M/s4592/SAM_2637-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3056" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3ztGr_f0Er3D1-guvqYAMkQ2-TAFKX1z4U7vUXfp6mlpVfdsbIEO5kPr4MPoFhcOGxTGhjr7eYk-uZHsPRKXvJNJuf1r-FURhn6gaCjHNefaD1kt05DFnsO4HtEQ8fvhHYPXFEHZhe2JUQlfzbvw4F6iBNAvy5nsUFIKhLZMgvjKxMQ0rbKancHeP3M/s16000/SAM_2637-01.jpeg" /></a></div><p>In our post today, we are going to look at some of the most effective ways to use your time at home, things you can do that will enrich your mind, body, and soul.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Family Bonding Time</span></b></p><div style="text-align: justify;">First, an idea that’ll benefit everyone in your clan: some good old family bonding time! You’ll naturally spend time together when you’re at home, but are you spending valuable time, or are you just all existing in the same space? It’s worthwhile setting some time aside to do things that’ll really help you to feel closer. In truth, it doesn’t matter what it is, so long as it’s a shared experience. But if you had to ask us, we’d recommend getting rid of all the screens and taking a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about things from your family’s shared past, as well as what your life was like before your children were born.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Learn a New Recipe</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stuck inside all day because the rain won’t stop falling, and the wind is so chilly that it goes straight to your bones? Then consider getting in the kitchen and cooking up a storm. Many of us end up making the same meals over and over again, but there’s a lot of value in pushing yourself to create something new. You might just create a new<a href="https://tasty.co/article/melissaharrison/easy-dinner-recipes" target="_blank"> easy-to-make </a>dish that becomes a new dinnertime staple.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Engage in Arts and Crafts</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Looking for something fun, rewarding, and challenging to do at home? Then consider engaging in an arts and crafts project. You’ll need some equipment to get started, but once you have, you’ll find that you’ve got a perfect way to pass some hours when at home. There are websites that sell candle-making supplies, <a href="https://www.amcsupplies.com.au/product-category/resin-art-supplies/resin-art-kits" target="_blank">resin art kits</a>, and products to make your own soaps, so you’ll have plenty of options. Focus on the process rather than the final product in the early stages and just have fun with it; over time, you’ll find that you’re getting better and that you have goods that can take pride of place in your home.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Rest</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, consider using your free time at home <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2018/03/how-to-enjoy-spa-like-day-at-home.html" target="_blank">to rest</a>. And by that, we mean really resting. Some people spend an evening looking at their device and think that they’re relaxing, but that’s not usually the case — your smartphone, after all, will keep your brain in a state of alertness that means you can’t really zone out. Instead, put your smartphone away, light some candles, and put on a podcast or light film. It’ll be the perfect way to wind down before bed.</div>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-12225382953104243692023-12-08T07:02:00.005+00:002023-12-11T07:22:35.948+00:00 Winter Fun Ideas in the Lead Up to Christmas<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The festivities are drawing closer by the day, and now is the time to think about what you’re going to be doing with your children to keep them occupied in the lead up to Christmas. It can be difficult to know what to do that will please everyone in the family, especially if the weather has gotten colder. Luckily, there are plenty of fun winter and Christmas activities you could be doing that the whole family will enjoy, so let’s check them out.</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE36bDeOxfxCkc7bVHkG9zyPOylzbj_psNvOLyK3DVMLRH_33ExUKmehZX_qjUeAZm1rcfqXthkzgJzNGPp-UpBt47hf-1z3MKIYrAIOgvsT9On1VOGr_SmuOTpzZjH77PV1WvXCaKIJXgTCJd_c1NxSi9J56Pq-1b7zaB_2PA3kDpdIr_ioSQsJ7LG4Q/s3914/20231202_112239-01-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3914" data-original-width="2608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE36bDeOxfxCkc7bVHkG9zyPOylzbj_psNvOLyK3DVMLRH_33ExUKmehZX_qjUeAZm1rcfqXthkzgJzNGPp-UpBt47hf-1z3MKIYrAIOgvsT9On1VOGr_SmuOTpzZjH77PV1WvXCaKIJXgTCJd_c1NxSi9J56Pq-1b7zaB_2PA3kDpdIr_ioSQsJ7LG4Q/s16000/20231202_112239-01-01.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Watch Christmas Movies</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There’s nothing quite like snuggling in front of the TV with yummy snacks, warm drinks and laughing at the classic Christmas films being shown on TV to get you feeling really festive. If you’re looking for an inexpensive day, try choosing a movie each, get into your warmest pyjamas, and enjoy each other's company watching your favourite Christmas movies. Stuck for ideas? Some solid favourites are Elf, The Grinch, Home Alone and the Polar Express. Of course, there are loads more to choose from!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Go Ice Skating</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bundle up warm with your hats, mittens, scarves and coats and <a href="https://www.iceskating.org.uk/rink-finder" target="_blank">head to your nearest ice skating rink</a>. It’s a great way to burn off some pent up energy near Christmas time, and it can be a really fun experience for all ages. Not all venues provide ice skates, so make sure you check ahead to see if they do!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Do a Treasure Hunt</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps everyone is feeling a little unchallenged recently, especially if the schools have broken up and you have some time off work. A great way to tackle that would be to have a <a href="https://www.enigmap.net/en/categories/treasure-hunt/" target="_blank">treasure hunt</a>. If you’ve got a garden, you can easily and cheaply hide treasure with clues around your garden for the kids to really put their minds to. Or, if you want to go bigger, consider getting a big group of people together and playing it in the park! It’s hours of fun for next to no money and everyone will have a great time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Go For a Walk</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Christmas is exciting, especially for small children. The anticipation of what Santa is going to bring may cause some overexcitement that means you need to use up some of their energy. Why not grab your coats and go for a walk? If you live somewhere with nature trails or hiking treks, take your camera with you and capture some beautiful moments out in nature. Just be careful if it’s icy on the ground - the last thing you need at Christmas is an injury!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Bake Some Delicious Snacks</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.loveandlemons.com/baking-recipes/" target="_blank">Baking delicious snacks </a>is another great way of getting into the Christmas spirit and spending some quality family time together. Buy some eggs, flour, butter and sugar, and whip up some delicious cakes and biscuits with the kids. Give everyone their own special job that will not only keep them occupied, but help teach valuable skills they can use later in life. Another bonus? You can all enjoy your efforts after dinner! Why not pair baking delicious snacks with your movie day?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you’re trying to keep costs down this year, baking goodies for your family and friends is a great way to give a thoughtful gift without spending lots of money. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to go and visit your loved ones!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Make Christmas Decorations</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A fantastic way of making Christmas extra special is by making your own Christmas decorations. You can buy clear, plain baubles that you and your children could decorate with paint, glitter, or even small ornaments to go inside. There are tons of ideas online when it comes to Christmas decorations, so don’t be afraid to get creative!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Why not make this a <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2015/12/our-new-christmas-traditions.html" target="_blank">yearly tradition</a> for you and your family? Before long, you’ll have a whole tree full of lovingly handmade Christmas decorations for you to enjoy for many years to come.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Get Crafty</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">While on the subject of crafts, now is the perfect time to dig out your paper and envelopes and <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/holidays/christmas-ideas/g4080/clever-diy-christmas-cards/" target="_blank">make some handmade Christmas cards</a> to hand out to your family and friends. Coloured cards and envelopes are fairly inexpensive, and it’s another really good reason to take your kids to see family members and friends!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Visit a Christmas Market</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, there’s something really magical about walking around a Christmas market; the twinkling lights, the festive smells of turkey, cranberries and stuffing, and generally happy people doing their Christmas shopping. Even if you don’t spend anything, it’s a great way to spend the evening without having to spend any money if you don’t want to!</p>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-8494834648013166252023-12-07T13:55:00.001+00:002023-12-07T13:55:57.204+00:00The Best Ways to Make Your Kitchen More Efficient<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The kitchen is one of the rooms you might spend most time in. Even if you're not a very enthusiastic cook, you still have to prepare food every day, especially if you have a family. So it makes sense that your kitchen should be a space that you can use efficiently.</span></b> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMLKrXqdHvWA6DZ09rfPgsHQnJ52VB2G5ZXR9YIeBc9CtQ_b2HX_DsUmnZaH0sNtmO7SVNxXJNlE1BZn0jREbOCx5ARgHf6uwDj-JlASPrmBrC5cZqvT5tPjkxaAvbsjbtSQz-MeL5s6exUqkgVgl4dQCl2EdcBftXUlaE17B_Ue1K9LUGV0x5WIfVouw/s4244/1000049153-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4244" data-original-width="2830" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMLKrXqdHvWA6DZ09rfPgsHQnJ52VB2G5ZXR9YIeBc9CtQ_b2HX_DsUmnZaH0sNtmO7SVNxXJNlE1BZn0jREbOCx5ARgHf6uwDj-JlASPrmBrC5cZqvT5tPjkxaAvbsjbtSQz-MeL5s6exUqkgVgl4dQCl2EdcBftXUlaE17B_Ue1K9LUGV0x5WIfVouw/s16000/1000049153-01.jpeg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You want to be able to find what you need easily and cook as smoothly as possible. The way your kitchen is set up and how you keep it <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/organizing/tips/g1397/small-kitchen-storage/" target="_blank">organised</a> are big contributing factors when it comes to kitchen efficiency. By making a few little changes, you could make it more efficient than ever.</p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Organise Your Cupboards</b></span></p><p>For better <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2018/04/kitchens-dont-have-to-be-dull-anymore.html" target="_blank">kitchen</a> efficiency, start by organising all of your storage. If you've ever spent five minutes (or even longer) just searching for a pan or an ingredient that you need, you should spend some time getting organised. Firstly, make sure you have different cupboards or organisers for different items. Assign one place to pots and pans and another for herbs and spices. Put glasses in one cupboard and key store ingredients like pasta and flour in another. You can even go so far as to label everything, perhaps putting some ingredients in neater containers that are easier to store.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Set Up Different Zones</span></b></p><p>You can use your kitchen for a number of different tasks. Perhaps you both cook and bake, and maybe you have a hobby like canning or making chocolates. If you use your kitchen in a variety of ways, you can find it's helpful to have different <a href="https://www.kitchendoorworkshop.co.uk/news/organise-your-kitchen-5-zones/" target="_blank">zones</a> for each activity. This might be harder to do in a smaller kitchen, so it's not always the most helpful move. But if you have the space, it could be a really useful way to boost the efficiency of your kitchen and the way you use it.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Start Cooking with Gas</span></b></p><p>The kitchen appliances you have at your disposal really matter when you want to work smoothly. And if there's one thing that many will agree is a must for an efficient kitchen, it's a gas hob. Modern induction hobs might have become more popular, but many still prefer gas for the easy ability to control the temperature. Remember that installing a gas appliance requires a qualified professional.

If your tools aren't working properly, you can work slower and end up with less than stellar results. But if you keep them in good shape, you'll find you can have much more success. One good example is your knives. Dull knives are not only inefficient but can be dangerous too because you're more likely to slip and hurt yourself. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk3scs5FqCY" target="_blank">Keep them sharp</a> for the best results.</p><p>A more efficient kitchen is more enjoyable to use.

The aim is to races across the snow-covered Arctic to be the first to find a fish, and get it home to your burrow. During the game you get to interact with other animals and some may help and some may hinder your journey. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Designed by Mason Cooper-Muir along with the help of his two dads Ben & Lee, this fast and fun family game is the latest creation of Foul Play Games.

The game is so simple and easy to set up. Before you begin playing you will need to pop the cards out of their boards and give them a quick shuffle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-K3gUCO-t4Xsb-dJUzFZOKqykYEpIFyFWCpNWqFNSoFsEm3TllZ-NRg27P65GH_Ew4IfGlAp-MjLXJt_FfalmxB7rb7JYyhmRWpUTZj3iWMKClvzm8S5K3WUSfnaCcnfMlBl_ZzCp4shPzIB-alIvN0vc-USmyg-XHDAAqzQmR_vXRWIE4Q8AfWOnBsE/s4592/1000049931-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3056" data-original-width="4592" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-K3gUCO-t4Xsb-dJUzFZOKqykYEpIFyFWCpNWqFNSoFsEm3TllZ-NRg27P65GH_Ew4IfGlAp-MjLXJt_FfalmxB7rb7JYyhmRWpUTZj3iWMKClvzm8S5K3WUSfnaCcnfMlBl_ZzCp4shPzIB-alIvN0vc-USmyg-XHDAAqzQmR_vXRWIE4Q8AfWOnBsE/w640-h426/1000049931-01.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, lay down the 36 cards face down to create your 6×6 playing area. You can move your Puffin character across the cards flipping them as you go to find a fish, and head back to their burrow. It’s not as easy as it sounds, as there are various obstacles along the way, and players have to find a fish and their burrow first. The card you want to avoid most is the blizzard card as it will mean you have to turn all the cards back to their starting position! The reindeer can move cards around, and some of the animal cards help, and some hinder!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Puffin Rush has been created for 1-4 players and works well for all ages. It really is a great of memory, competitiveness and a whole lot of fun. When we played for the first time, it took us about 15 minutes as we played with my nephew who is just getting into board games, but we all soon got the hang of it and could get it down to 5 minutes. It’s very addictive and definitely one for families that like a little competition.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNLM0tmdQ4OpijwTyh7mpbIU42RPzQuWPNfbX2jR0YeAwz9l2omVnkz2Su78tCItAi8Pspro4CibndRe01CqnnqSZAO632HeMgIQSM6nwm9U4wdoBRDEB8Sjw3Vcmy42VSZBRgEyF4yZY61yjdX1sJh2rJFnYTOhsx5DAd7soAFEOCrXM8zqlLdQ3HMtw/s4570/1000049929-01%20(1).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3041" data-original-width="4570" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNLM0tmdQ4OpijwTyh7mpbIU42RPzQuWPNfbX2jR0YeAwz9l2omVnkz2Su78tCItAi8Pspro4CibndRe01CqnnqSZAO632HeMgIQSM6nwm9U4wdoBRDEB8Sjw3Vcmy42VSZBRgEyF4yZY61yjdX1sJh2rJFnYTOhsx5DAd7soAFEOCrXM8zqlLdQ3HMtw/w640-h426/1000049929-01%20(1).jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Our Thoughts on Puffin Rush</span></b></div></div><p>Would we recommend Puffin Rush?

This game would be one game to play at Christmas with the family. Puffin Rush retails at £9.95 and is available to purchase from the Foul Play Games website.

By using a few tips when you’re designing your new office, you shouldn’t have much of a problem getting it all done.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You’ll even make sure it’s a comfortable place to work, and you shouldn’t have to worry about getting things done. Ten of these tips could help more than you’d think.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Designing Your New Office: 10 Top Tips</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. Have Enough Space</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You’ll need to make sure you have enough space in a potential office before you decide to take it. This is one of the more important factors to consider, and you’ll have to think about it from the start. Take the time to make sure you have enough space for your current operations so everyone can work comfortably.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the same time, you might want to have a little extra space on-hand if you’re a growing company. You wouldn’t want to be in a position where you have to look for a new office relatively soon. You’ll need to balance this with cost, however. Go with what’s most comfortable for you and your business.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2. Pick The Right Location</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the first decisions you’ll have to make about your office relates to its location. You’ll have to make sure this is somewhere easy to commute to. While this isn’t an issue for a home office, it can be a problem for more traditional offices. You don’t need to just worry about your commute with this, though.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You’ll also need to consider how easy it is for your employees to get there, too. Then there are your clients, suppliers, and other third-parties. Make sure your office is located somewhere they can easily get to. It’ll be a lot easier to run your company and actually do business once you’ve put some effort into this.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>3. Try Ergonomic Seats</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Seats are an obvious essential when you’re designing your new office. Your employees will need to sit down while they’re working, after all. You could be tempted to go for relatively cheap options for this so you can cut down on costs. That could be far from the best option to take, however.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These options can often be uncomfortable and difficult to use, especially for hours at a time. You’re better off going for <a href="https://www.godrejinterio.com/blog/article-10-reasons-why-ergonomic-chairs-are-so-important-in-the-office/24887#:~:text=Ergonomic.,height%2C%20lumbar%20support%20and%20armrests." target="_blank">ergonomic options</a>. You and your employees will be more comfortable, and nobody should develop any aches and pains because of them. While this will be a noticeable investment, it’ll be well worth it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>4. Manage Your Cables</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You’ll have countless cables around your office, and these could be a health and safety hazard if they’re not properly dealt with. Take the time to properly manage them and <a href="https://www.deskup.com.au/accessories/cable-management" target="_blank">look online</a> for cable management systems that can help you with this. With this, you shouldn’t have to put too much extra time and effort into it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once you take care of them, you’ll get rid of the safety risks they can pose. You’ll also make sure your new office doesn’t look too cluttered. While this could take a little while to do, you should only have to get it done once. Pay attention to this at the start, and you shouldn’t have to worry about it in the future.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You and your employees will be sure to appreciate it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>5. Bring In Natural Light</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">None of your employees will want to work in an office that’s dark and depressing. At the same time, they wouldn’t want it to be overly bright either. Both of these scenarios have more than a few negatives associated with them, so it’s always worth avoiding them as much as you can.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Natural light can be the best thing to go for to avoid these. It’ll have quite a few positives, like making your employees feel more comfortable. All you’ll need for this are a few strategically placed windows, and you’ll be good to go. Add in a few well-placed lights, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>6. Add Some Nature</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Speaking of bringing in natural things like light, it’s always worth bringing in a little more nature. Plants and flowers can add to your office much more than you’d think. It’s always worth adding a few of these around the office, and they’ll have quite a bit of benefits once they’re there.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They improve the air quality and can make employees feel more relaxed while they’re working. Then there’s the fact they add a certain style to a space, giving you another reason to consider having a few of them. You don’t even need to go overboard to see these, and it’ll be more impactful than you’d think.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With how much these can add to an office, there’s no reason not to get some plants.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>7. Accessorise & Personalise</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you’re designing the office, it’s natural to think it needs to be a little formal. While you’ll want to keep everything professional, it doesn’t mean you can’t <a href="https://www.simplehomesimplelife.com/blog/how-to-personalize-your-office-but-still-be-professional" target="_blank">personalise it a bit</a>. It can often be recommended, as it’ll end up making the office space feel more comfortable, and employees will feel happier working there.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You wouldn’t even need to put too much time and effort into this. Instead, it’s just a matter of adding a few bits and pieces around the office to make it feel a little less formal. Even adding some company branding around the office could be more than enough for this. The more effort you put into it, the better.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>8. Have A Meeting Place</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you’re designing your new office, it’s easy to overlook a few things. A meeting place is one of the more notable, despite how important it could be. You’ll need somewhere to bring potential clients and other outside parties, after all. Make sure you have somewhere nice and comfortable you can bring them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While you’ll need to dedicate a bit of space to this, it shouldn’t have to be too large. Make sure it’s big enough to have a few people in it without feeling cramped. At the same time, you can use this for employee meetings and similar events. You’ll have more than a few reasons to have this in place.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>9. Have A Floor Plan</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You’ll need to have a floor plan for your office, especially if there’ll be a decent number of people working in it. The plan helps people get around the office much more easily, as well as work productively. You’ll need to put a decent amount of time and effort into this so everything can go as smoothly as possible.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Don’t just focus on letting people get around easily, though. Make sure the things employees will need to use, like printers, are relatively close to their desks. The easier they can do their jobs, the better it’ll be. While this could use some tweaking in time, it’ll be more than worth the effort.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>10. Get The Right Storage</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Storage is one of the more overlooked parts of designing an office. For <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2018/08/styling-modern-and-minimalist-home.html" target="_blank">a home office</a>, that’s especially true. It’s something you’ll need to put a little bit of time and effort into, though. You’ll end up having quite a few things you’ll need to store, after all. Make sure you have somewhere secure for them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That doesn’t mean you have to go for standard storage units, however. You could get a lot more creative with it, which will make everything much more appealing. Consider the space you have for storage, as well as what kind of style you’d like. You could end up having storage on the wall instead of the floor to save space.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Designing Your New Office: Wrapping Up</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Designing your new office should be an exciting time. You should look forward to what it’ll be like once everything is done. As obvious as that is, it can get stressful for more than a few people. You’ll need to get quite a bit done for it, after all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That doesn’t mean you’ll need to feel overwhelmed. A few tips will be more than enough to help with this, even if you’re putting an office together for a large company.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Alongside helping you get through the process much easier, they’ll let you create an office you can be proud of. You and your employees can work productively and comfortably, so there’s no reason not to put a little time and effort into them.</div>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-85633669153727263892023-10-12T13:46:00.009+00:002023-10-16T12:58:30.011+00:00Safety Considerations For A Child’s Room<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Creating and decorating a child’s room involves much more than pretty toys and bright colours. Those are great, but safety is of prime importance. </span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhWWjISdDrs8zsB2iJu3jtjA3RrR5NzbtJc9u-x8XhbtFZTrBaduolrk52KAlfqC0cvLEcxS3GrCaFvI0OxtPNggchbNuRDuVVedcwxnLuEttoNvbmNL9Fwx6Tr15aHZVyfudkKg3Z-FAklEb28Og0hPfHUFcqBQP2lIqzHq85_fIgUkeNi6-_FQJOR7Q/s3200/sarah-dorweiler-7tFlUFGa7Dk-unsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3200" data-original-width="2309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhWWjISdDrs8zsB2iJu3jtjA3RrR5NzbtJc9u-x8XhbtFZTrBaduolrk52KAlfqC0cvLEcxS3GrCaFvI0OxtPNggchbNuRDuVVedcwxnLuEttoNvbmNL9Fwx6Tr15aHZVyfudkKg3Z-FAklEb28Og0hPfHUFcqBQP2lIqzHq85_fIgUkeNi6-_FQJOR7Q/s16000/sarah-dorweiler-7tFlUFGa7Dk-unsplash.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Unsplash/<a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/7tFlUFGa7Dk?utm_content=creditShareLink&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash">Sarah Dorweiler </a></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.safeandsound.uk.net/first-aid-for-common-accidents-in-the-home/#:~:text=more%20than%20two%20million%20children,an%20accident%20in%20the%20home" target="_blank">Millions</a> of children are rushed to hospitals each year thanks to accidents at home, including their rooms. Kids can be super reckless when unsupervised in their rooms, and it’s impossible to patrol your child’s room 24/7 to keep an eye on them. But you can count on creating a safe space to minimise accidents and keep them from danger. Here are some safety considerations when creating or <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2022/05/our-living-room-makeover.html" target="_blank">designing</a> a kid’s room.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sharp edges are an absolute no-no, even in an adult’s room. They’re the most harmful, especially when left exposed. With kids jumping around the room and being their usual playful selves, sharp edges are the ultimate nightmare. Table and bed corners, door knobs, cabinets, and sharply textured surfaces are common culprits of unhappy endings.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Always use decor items with blunt or smooth edges when designing your child’s room. Furniture sets with soft, round edges pose less risk than hardwood alternatives with sharp edges. Some toy designs can even pose a risk. Yes, that’s a lot to pay attention to, but you can’t overlook them. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Watch Out for EMF Radiation </span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Like every part of your home, your child's room should prevent overexposure to radiation and electromagnetic fields (EMFs). That means Wi-Fi devices, smartphones, computers, and other devices that emit radiation should be away from this area. These devices emit high doses of ionising radiation. While the jury is still out on EMF, the scientific consensus is that it’s dangerous for kids. <a href="https://www.ucbaby.ca/fr/emf-radiation-how-should-we-protect-children#:~:text=Protection%20from%20EMF%20Exposure&text=Some%20studies%20show%20increased%20childhood,health%20effect%20of%20EMF%20exposure" target="_blank">Some studies</a> have linked childhood leukaemia and brain tumours to prolonged exposure to EMF. Therefore, invest in <a href="https://www.blushield.global/" target="_blank">EMF protection devices</a> to create a safer home for your kids.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Cage Those Power Outlets</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Whether or not kids’ rooms should have power outlets is a discussion for another time. But if outlets are exposed in your child’s room, please place them in a protective case as soon as possible. You can never underestimate a child’s curiosity. So, covering an outlet with a furniture piece alone will not work. Some kids can crawl under chairs to push an item into a power outlet just to see what happens. Ensure that every power socket has a child protection cover. Replace existing outlets with child-safe alternatives where possible. Various options are available on the market. You can speak with a certified electrician to help you find one. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Avoid Glass Doors and Mirrors</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some parents add dressing mirrors to their kids' rooms, especially for little daughters. They may look cute, but you’re better off avoiding them for safety reasons. Also, avoid glass doors on or for wardrobes and cabinets and keep mirrors out of your child’s room. An item can hit a glass door or mirror, shattering it. Your kids can get hurt when sharp shards of these shattered items litter the floor. And, yes, that goes for glass vases and decor items, too. </p>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-19902571289056329902023-10-06T12:29:00.005+00:002023-10-15T08:36:48.672+00:003 Small Changes That Can Alter Your Appearance For The Better<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">It’s often said that celebrities often aren’t the most attractive people in the world, they just have enough money to spend on treatments to look good. In some cases this is true of course, but you don’t have to be a phenomenal supermodel with a perfectly symmetrical face and no hair in the wrong position to look great.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoz9avrBl5FYYFVMf3OGIIpzO_RWyIAXLxxCHTH2LGXSjWq8db6SBJQkuj4odDQ-VYbIQPpoWiMwCmBQqBtk3Lt1YAAUpu_5Xe-nbfi0oXTJBAztLG_SloJoAFPmPycbmhoAausLx_U-uYeTxhGseFdRwnywGuLZJ1cRS7PMum90JNW77Z5WyIafWA68g/s1650/photo-1603573650439-759da1f4661b.jpeg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoz9avrBl5FYYFVMf3OGIIpzO_RWyIAXLxxCHTH2LGXSjWq8db6SBJQkuj4odDQ-VYbIQPpoWiMwCmBQqBtk3Lt1YAAUpu_5Xe-nbfi0oXTJBAztLG_SloJoAFPmPycbmhoAausLx_U-uYeTxhGseFdRwnywGuLZJ1cRS7PMum90JNW77Z5WyIafWA68g/s16000/photo-1603573650439-759da1f4661b.jpeg.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Beauty, at its core, should always be about <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2023/09/5-ideas-for-making-use-of-extra-room.html" target="_blank">expressing yourself how you like</a> and feeling great because of that. Thinking you need to meet an artificial test or gain a stamp of approval will only lead you to think in smaller and smaller terms about the rules you should follow.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most of the time, looking great is simply a matter of caring for the small things - like keeping up on your hygiene, wearing clothes that fit you, and being proud of who you are, even your perceived flaws. If you’re looking to make a positive change, start small. Let’s consider what those measures might even look like:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Dental Care</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You won’t need the perfect set of teeth to smile naturally and to feel confident about it. That said, it can help to have minor corrective, restorative or cleaning work done from time to time, especially as we get older and the condition of our teeth may need a little more attention. For example, renewed flossing, even simple whitening strips or <a href="https://www.dvinesmiles.com.au/cosmetic-dentistry/dental-crowns" target="_blank">dental crowns</a> if they’re needed can help improve anyone’s aesthetic and help them look so much more confident. Moreover, it’s nice to know your teeth have been cared for and there are no health issues that could be experienced.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Posture</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is definitely the simplest measure to enact, but it can be hard to remember to keep up with. Thankfully, there are little things you can do to fix your posture throughout the day, and usually, the changes stick. Keeping your chest up and your shoulders a little back, using chairs with lumbar support that helps you avoid slouching, and just walking naturally with your chin in a neutral, up position can work wonders. This not only helps your outfit hug your frame more fittingly, but it gives you a sense of confidence as our <a href="https://montarebehavioralhealth.com/posture-and-mental-health/#:~:text=A%20study%20by%20Harvard%20University,can%20all%20be%20problematic%20situations." target="_blank">stature often helps influence our mood</a>, too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Being You</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It’s easy to think you need to fit a given standard to look good. But don’t change who you are for someone elses’ benefit. Rocking what you have and who you are will always be more appealing than being ashamed of it. Perhaps you wear large glasses - that can look fantastic if they fit your face shape and you’re not afraid of them. Perhaps you have shorter hair now you’re getting older, but that can look fantastic if it’s properly trimmed. Simple light makeup is just as good as your more creative applications, while no makeup at all can look wonderful in its own right, too, letting your skin breathe and showing your natural beauty. This is an attitude adjustment, but it shows that you’re not afraid to be yourself, and that is the best shift you could ever make.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>With this advice, you’re sure to enact three small changes that alter your appearance for the better.</b></div>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-18286828650856554432023-10-05T12:38:00.001+00:002023-10-06T12:46:58.909+00:00How To Dedicate More Time To Your Health In 2023<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">It’s important to prioritize your health whenever you can, however, in reality, that’s not always the case.

Here are a few top tips to help dedicate more time to your health in 2023.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Keep Up to Date with Health Appointments</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Health appointments are something you want to stick by when they get booked in. No excuses or anything should really get in the way of you attending the health appointments unless it’s a real emergency. Cancelling health appointments or simply not booking them is a downward spiral to not spotting underlying health problems that could have otherwise been resolved prior. Keeping up to date with health appointments is a must so make sure you see the <a href="https://www.blueappledental.com.au/" target="_blank">dentist</a>, your opticians, and your doctor!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Prioritize Your Sleep</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.saatva.com/blog/how-to-prioritize-sleep-in-new-year/" target="_blank">Prioritizing your sleep</a> is important, especially when it comes to your health. It’s often the case that people will sacrifice their sleep whether it’s to scroll a little longer on their social media feeds in bed, to getting up earlier for a morning workout.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While there are times that getting up early or going to bed late might be beneficial, it’s important to ensure you’re not burning the candle at both ends. Be sure to prioritize your sleep and get in at least seven hours of sleep per night. Ideally, you should have between eight and nine.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Spend More Time in Nature Than on Your Phone</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Instead of spending more time on your phone, try to get more time in with good ol’ Mother Nature. Getting outdoors and spending time getting that all-important fresh air is great for your health. Consider spending more time outdoors, whether that’s going for a daily stroll to your local park or doing some exercise outside with a local sports club.

These will be some of the most sought out toys this year that will include Furby, Barbie, Care Bears and a whole miniature world of Polly Pockets.

Besides a spare bedroom, there are a number of things you can consider for using the extra space. From a home office to getting around to working out, here are some ideas.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuNIrUUf9uwwRHjJHnlHhmI8m9peRwa6nazKd48Ynk9_q8zTrxQv0-ykY7Y-5JMnqEXhPMtJJqs-KCLPlSWNt2lhFkHV5eTgy7xH5cxPvNEzp_fN_K6PESzcTLyn2ueFUmT2IpHcBnagal5sSgqAVBEV5nnFvjXjOKqn1SPxfaRNh-X71Ec8i943maVp8/s4592/SAM_2169-02.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4592" data-original-width="3056" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuNIrUUf9uwwRHjJHnlHhmI8m9peRwa6nazKd48Ynk9_q8zTrxQv0-ykY7Y-5JMnqEXhPMtJJqs-KCLPlSWNt2lhFkHV5eTgy7xH5cxPvNEzp_fN_K6PESzcTLyn2ueFUmT2IpHcBnagal5sSgqAVBEV5nnFvjXjOKqn1SPxfaRNh-X71Ec8i943maVp8/s16000/SAM_2169-02.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Create Your Dream Walk-In Closet</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Too much stuff isn’t too much when it’s stuff you love and use. And there’s nothing much better than procuring a stylish and trendy wardrobe for each season. Looking your best is known to boost confidence and help you feel more motivated to work. A spare room is an excellent way to build in some <a href="https://www.neatsmith.co.uk/" target="_blank">beautiful wardrobes</a> you always wanted as part of a stylish walk-in closet. This way you have the space you need for storage, getting ready, and, of course, adding more!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">How About a Home Office?</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Working from home is far more common today than it has ever been, and up to 40% of people work from home in the UK today. Many offices offer hybrid and flexible schemes so you can get some work done from the home office. But what if you don’t have one? A spare room is the answer, and a home office is an excellent use for a room you don’t use. A dedicated office space helps you stay motivated and free of distractions and makes the work environment much safer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Good Use of an Extra Room for Reading</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Reading for pleasure is one of the world’s oldest pastimes. And even today, in a digital world, the world of literature is still going strong. But there is nothing quite like a dedicated reading room or library <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2018/08/4-gift-ideas-for-bookworm-in-your-family.html" target="_blank">if you are something of a bookworm</a>. A reading nook is a great way to use a small space, such as under the stairs or near a window. But with an entire room, you can procure all kinds of literature, gradually grow your library, and even make it your special and cosy go-to place.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Home Gym You Always Wanted</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Like most, you have probably been telling yourself you will start the gym next week. And this often starts with the new year. You may have even invested in some minor gym accessories and even bought fitness games for your consoles. But they never get used, and a gym membership is expensive. For the price of one year’s membership, you can kit out a room in your home to get fit. Inviting friends over can keep you motivated, and you don’t need to worry about privacy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Hobbies Like Crafting, Arts and Play</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We all have hobbies, and there’s no greater pleasure than when we get to the things we love. Whether it’s gaming, artistry or the growing crafting scene, a spare room in your home can help you indulge more in your passion. A <a href="https://www.livingetc.com/advice/hobby-rooms" target="_blank">dedicated room for hobbies</a> becomes something of a hideaway where you can enjoy yourself without distraction. You can even redecorate it how you feel such a room should be, where you can get lost for hours on end doing what you love.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>A walk-in closet is a good use of an extra room if you enjoy organised living and fashion. Or you can create a library if reading is more your thing or a hobby room for things like video gaming.</b></div>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207176078599945299.post-74383325746774898632023-09-15T19:18:00.002+00:002023-09-20T19:23:21.458+00:00Rainbow Looms Are Back with an Exciting Twist<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Does anyone remember the loom band craze?

Despite their name they are not actually monkeys and they do not live in the sea. In fact, sea monkeys are a hybrid breed of brine shrimp that were created to be able to go through a process where they hatch and grow once the eggs are placed in purified water. Once the process is complete, little shrimp-like creatures will be floating around, eating, growing, and maybe even having babies right in front of your eyes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Kz8hsnZwHwMPVx9FOd7EoQujDIOdLiL0MqfZfckYIwOsvy-dLGpuZDiaYw-oC0ZVhuPeq0pWhvruuPd9uUkO2_dSUdQEuC-GJsSkuHeq19Kc9Ruc7IpdLEe_9UFUsaewcI00cZgfMvIpt3bA_aZyfTLXY44xgZfnokXncIuFxRUiXVuphoEUpbkPfjQ/s4052/1000041260-02.jpeg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Kz8hsnZwHwMPVx9FOd7EoQujDIOdLiL0MqfZfckYIwOsvy-dLGpuZDiaYw-oC0ZVhuPeq0pWhvruuPd9uUkO2_dSUdQEuC-GJsSkuHeq19Kc9Ruc7IpdLEe_9UFUsaewcI00cZgfMvIpt3bA_aZyfTLXY44xgZfnokXncIuFxRUiXVuphoEUpbkPfjQ/w640-h426/1000041260-02.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not only are they relatively inexpensive, easy to care for and can live up to five years under ideal conditions, but they can be a fun and educational way to learn about responsibility.

Whatever you do, do not over feed as this will cause a bacteria build up in the tank. If the bacteria gets out of control, it will continue to eat up all the oxygen and the little Sea-Monkeys will suffocate and die.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 1:</span></b> Pour 340ml/12ozs of water into any clean glass container or your special Sea-Monkey tank.

Exercise is often one of the first things that people sacrifice when struggling to juggle life commitments. Worse still, it is one of the hardest to get back. However, the harsh reality is that you need to take action. Now.</span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnDOiR51sT-PbSpWCxNvUStgRX8CisCZOqA3sWz0rRM2plXZm3Thn6tKoQC5Be9WxRH0Tzvl3o3v28wP0iQQlFp7nyP3nrWBHV14IsGB0dsDSdEuNbOc1hyM2b50m2Y1fXnHDiflgLJpnqwhgdVhCUDrvoawEtmE0lUMdwVXQEjEpQVepkHIwAmsIBLME/s3056/SAM_6264%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3056" data-original-width="2290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnDOiR51sT-PbSpWCxNvUStgRX8CisCZOqA3sWz0rRM2plXZm3Thn6tKoQC5Be9WxRH0Tzvl3o3v28wP0iQQlFp7nyP3nrWBHV14IsGB0dsDSdEuNbOc1hyM2b50m2Y1fXnHDiflgLJpnqwhgdVhCUDrvoawEtmE0lUMdwVXQEjEpQVepkHIwAmsIBLME/s16000/SAM_6264%20(1).jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Otherwise, you may find it difficult to join in with your child’s physical games and sporting activities. Likewise, your personal quality and quantity of life will decline as a direct result. While getting back on the fitness path may seem daunting, the following steps should lead you to success.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">1 // Get Physical Complaints Seen To</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The “no pain, no gain” cliche means that you need to push yourself hard. It doesn’t mean you should force yourself to exercise through injuries. If you have back pain, neck pain, or any other physical discomfort, you must not ignore it. Searching for <a href="https://ostco.co.uk/" target="_blank">osteopath near me</a> services will help you gain the support needed to put your health back on track. This can subsequently restore your ability to exercise while also aiding other life aspects. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to treatments, you may receive advice on supportive clothing. Conversely, ignoring the issues will increase the risk of further injuries. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">2 // Make Fitness Accessible & Fun</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">One of the main reasons you’ve let your fitness slide as a parent is that finding time for it can be tough. Therefore, it has to be more accessible and affordable. On a similar note, you will be far more likely to sustain the effort when you actively look forward to sessions. <a href="https://www.mimiroseandme.com/2018/06/key-equipment-to-develop-all-round.html" target="_blank">Finding the right equipment</a> so that you don’t have to step into the gym works wonders. Alternatively, playing sports can be a wonderful solution, especially if it has a social element.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Unless you’re a professional athlete, there is no point in doing exercises you hate. After all, consistency will deliver improvements while also boosting your quality of life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">3 // Focus On Nutrition</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The harsh reality is that if you’ve let your fitness fade, your BMI has probably increased too. With this in mind, it is important to focus on nutrition. A short-term cut followed by sustainable nutrition plans will aid your pursuit of fitness. After all, it’s far easier to run 5k when you’re 10 kgs lighter. Finding <a href="https://www.eatingwell.com/category/4305/weight-loss-meal-plans/" target="_blank">online meal plans for weight loss</a> can be a great starting point for the transformation. Eating well is the first step to living well.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If nothing else, embracing improved daily habits in this way will put you in the best frame of mind. So, you’ll find it easier to remain on track with physical activities too.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">4 // Involve The Kids</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The whole point of investing in your fitness is to spend more time with the kids. So, why not exercise together? There are plenty of <a href="https://babyballers.com/" target="_blank">toddler-parent football groups</a> if you have young kids. As they get older, training them in their favourite sport can be a useful option too. You’ll create magical memories, help your child understand the importance of fitness, and get fitter in the process. There is no downside.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When combined with the other steps in this guide, your fitness levels will start to regrow in no time. Best of all, the process will be more fun.</p>Mimiroseandmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898204592837184098noreply@blogger.com0
