The Home is Your Oyster

ByMySparklingLife November 26, 2019September 16, 2023

Working from home is not a novelty anymore. However, the popularity of home offices has helped many employers to shift their priorities. Nowadays, you can find a remote position at the click of a button. Whether you choose to establish yourself as a freelancer or to join a virtual office, working from home puts you in charge of your time. As a result, you can create a successful and profitable career without ever needing to commute to work. More and more experts testify that home-based professionals can be more productive and creative than their office colleagues. Additionally, you can also use a virtual PO box to maintain your professional appearance without revealing your home address.
You can work out at home
If you’re the kind of person who can’t find the time to go to the gym, staying fit doesn’t have to be complicated. You can use your home as your gym HQ, which can save you a lot of time and money in the long term. Indeed, if you enjoy working out outside, you can consider the addition of an in-ground basketball hoop in your front yard, for instance. It’s the perfect excuse for a quick game with your family! Pet owners can play with their dogs in the garden. You’d be surprised how many calories you can burn just by running with your dog! Rainy days are not a problem either. You can find plenty of online workouts to follow in the lounge. Most often than not, you won’t need any additional equipment than your gym clothes!
Who needs a restaurant when you can cook?
What the best way of spending your Friday evening? While going out is the preferred way to start the weekend, more and more people wonder if there is a cost-effective alternative to plan get-together nights with friends. The answer is yes. You can throw a simple party at home and invite a selected few to enjoy a convivial home-cooked meal. With a little know-how, you can easily throw impressive meals that are a piece of cake to prepare! But, more importantly, you can make your home the new place to be during the weekend.
In conclusion, the simple home has become a place of opportunities, both professional and social. While staying at home can seem at first like an excluding gesture that keeps you isolated from the rest of your community, the reality is different. Staying at home can not only bring families together but also create new connections with friends and colleagues that would, otherwise, not have happened.

5 Ways You Can Give Back For Our Future

ByMySparklingLife May 12, 2016October 11, 2023

Every day, we go about our daily routines and rarely think about what others are going through. For the most part, I don’t think that it’s not that we don’t care…I think we get too busy, or just don’t know what we can do or how to even get started helping.
Over the past 5 years, in my time blogging, I’ve worked with a few companies that are really trying to make a difference in the world. But it takes people like you and me to step up and help these companies help the world. Recently I followed along as my friend Leanette from FUNtastic Life visited the Dominican Republic where she learned all about the ways World Vision (#WVBloggers) impacts the community. While there she was able to meet a child and tell him that she would be his sponsor! Following her journey reminded me of when I was little and my family sponsored a child. I loved writing back and forth with her and knowing that we were helping her and her family have better lives. Today it’s much easier to help here and around the world, you just need to know where to start! Below are 5 ways you can give back for our futures sake!
Volunteer! This is the #1 best way to be hands on and give back to our community and others around the world. I was recently introduced to VolunteerMatch & Cross-Cultural Solutions…both a great way to step up locally and abroad. Children are my life! They are our future and too many are in debilitating situations that are out of their control.
Sponsor a Child! World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. Visit World Vision to find out more about sponsoring a child or to get started.
Purchase a “Gift”! I’ve shared this option with you in the past posts from World Vision & BeadForLife. World Vision offers gifts such as a goat for milk, chickens for eggs, & fresh water or mosquito netting. BeadforLife is a Colorado nonprofit organization that works to eradicate extreme poverty by creating bridges of understanding between impoverished Africans and concerned world citizens. When you give you truly are helping change a life.
Walk! Walks & runs are going on daily…you can visit active.com to find local walks/runs that help charities you care about.
Host A Fund Raising Event! Get together with friends & family to host a small or community fund raising event for a charity that’s close to your heart. Imagine how many gifts you could buy, how much research could be done or how many people you could get to sponsor a child by just showing them where to start!
As you can see there are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved & give back! How will you help our future? Will you purchase clean water, Sponsor a child, or go on a walk? You CAN make a difference in someone else’s life, and now that you have a direction, all you have to do is figure out which way to give back works best for you.
I would love for you to share images of you giving back, use hashtag #MSLGivesBack on social media and each week I will choose an image to share!

Don't Let The Winter Weather Bring You Down

ByMySparklingLife June 5, 2019September 17, 2023

There will be no soothing hot shower this winter
You might enjoy your hot and relaxing shower in the evening, but in reality, the hot water is doing nothing for you! In fact, it could even damage and dry out your skin as it’s been fragilized by the weather. The best thing you can do for your body is to take a cold shower. Indeed, as your metabolism tends to slow down in winter, a cold shower can help to improve blood circulation and clear blockages. Besides, as it tightens your pores and cuticles, it ensures that your skin and scalp can stay clean and healthy.
Does your hair get greasy when it’s cold?
Beanie hat, warm gloves, and you’re ready to go out. Except that after a few days with these warming accessories, you notice that your hair is looking greasy. The main reason is that wrapping up makes you sweat, transporting the oil that protects your scalp further down the hair. The result: Your scalp can dry out while your hair looks greasy. Your winter shampoo, consequently, needs to tackle both dry scalp and oily hair! Failure to use the appropriate product can aggravate the situation.
Spend as much time outdoors as possible
The winter blues, as mentioned earlier, is a seasonal affective disorder that affects people when their intake of vitamin D drops. Vitamin D can be found in dairy products, for instance, but it also comes directly from sun exposure. In winter, the short days, cold temperatures and cloudy skies make it tricky to recharge your batteries. In reality, if you want to keep the seasonal depression at bay, you need to spend your free time outside. Natural light exposure can help you to prevent mood swings and other symptoms. Besides, fresh air is good for your immune system!
Winter might not be your favorite season. But with these tips, you can finally make the most of it without worrying about your health.

6 Tips For Keeping Your Lips Happy & Healthy This Winter

ByMySparklingLife March 8, 2016September 20, 2023

With winter in full swing, you better believe I’ve stocked up on one of my winter must haves, ChapStick! During the winter, your skin & lips are bombarded by the brutal elements, both indoors and out.

Below you will find 6 tips for keeping your lips happy & healthy this winter.
Try to refrain from licking your lips. When you do, it removes natural oils that keep the moisture in your skin.
Dehydration can happen when spending too much time in dry environments, or if you’re not drinking an adequate amount of water every day. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, esp water.
Use a humidifier at night to keep moisture in your dry, heated home.
Cover your face when heading outdoors, especially on windy days.
Lips are the most delicate part of your face & have few oil glands of their own. To help keep them soft and healthy, try ChapStick Moisturizer that features more than 7 moisturizing ingredients that will leave your lips soft and silky.
As I stated above, UV rays are present even in the winter months. Try to use a product with broad spectrum SPF 15 or higher like ChapSticks Sun Defence delivers SPF protection and other moisturizing ingredients.
