One of the best ways to look after yourself is to think about your diet, as this will have an impact on your both fitness and your overall physical health. Whether this means changing your diet completely or switching up a couple of things, you need to ensure you’re eating healthy as often as you can. Whilst that doesn’t mean limiting yourself every single day, it does mean you need to be mindful. For a guide to eating healthy and how it can affect your health, you can visit this site here.
– Exercise As Often As You Can
Another great way to look after your physical health in the new year is to ensure you’re exercising as often as you can. Whether that means walking to work or going to the gym three times a week, the more exercise you’re doing the better you’re going to feel. If it helps motivate you, you might want to consider hiring a personal trainer to advise you.
– Work With A Personal Trainer
As mentioned above, working with a personal trainer is one of the best ways to ensure you’re looking after yourself to the best of your ability. Not only will they be able to tell you what you should be eating, but they will also be able to put together an exercise plan that will work.
– Get Regular Check-Ups
If you think you’re struggling when it comes to certain areas of your fitness, you may need to go for regular check-ups with a specialist. Whether this means seeing an orthopedic surgeon about an ongoing issue or seeing someone who can help with cardiac health, you need to put your health first. Whilst they may mean limiting the exercise you do overall, they will be able to advise you on the best route to take.

There are a lot of things that go into wedding planning, and a lot of details that you need to sort out in order to make your big day the event of your dreams. But there are also a few reasons why money should be in control of your planning. Continue reading to learn more.
1. Set a Budget So You Don’t Go Overboard
Setting a budget will essentially set the foundation for your entire wedding planning process. Without a solid budget in place, you simply won’t know how much you can afford and how much you need to save in order to have the event you’ve always wanted. If you don’t set a budget, it will be easy to book vendors and a venue that are out of your means, and this will result in unpaid bills and debt as soon as you enter your marriage. Since financial stress can really tax any marriage, it’s important to make it a point to set a budget so you know you’ll be able to pay off all of your expenses right away.
2. Choosing Vendors Requires Judgement
When you choose the appropriate wedding venue for your style, needs, and budget, they may end up giving you a list of recommended vendors that you can use. These could include everything from DJ companies, to bakeries for your cake, photographers, and videographers. You may be tempted to go with these vendors because they’re recommended, but when you let money rule the choices that you make for your wedding, you’ll likely find that, if you search elsewhere, you’ll locate great quality vendors at lower prices. This is because recommended vendors often have to give the venue a share of the money they make, which means their prices may be higher than their competition.
3. Look for Savings Wisely
Another reason why you should let money be in control of your planning is because it sets you in a frame of mind to look for the best deals. There are many opportunities available to save money on everything you need for your wedding, from the florist to your gown. If you search for wedding savings, you won’t only be able to stick to your budget, you may even come in under budget, which means you’ll have more money left over to take a fantastic honeymoon, buy your first home, or save up to start a family.
4. Resist the Temptation to Hire a Planner
A wedding planner might be a great investment for busy couples, but planners can be expensive. If you follow your budget, you may find that you don’t have the money to hire a planner. But have no fear, as hiring the vendors yourself isn’t as difficult as it may seem, and if you book the right venue, they’ll have a planner on hand to make sure every aspect of your day goes smoothly.
As you can see, there are many reasons why you should let money be in control of your planning. With the tips above, you can save money and have the wedding you want.

Don’t splash out on equipment that you don’t need. Many companies looking to kit out their office automatically buy a printer and a scanner, but in today’s paperless world such machinery isn’t always necessary. Unless you’re a printing company, weigh up whether you need this machinery.
Hire single-use equipment
If you’re only going to use a piece of equipment once or twice, there’s no point buying it. Consider hiring this equipment instead. For instance, if you own a construction company, you probably don’t want to be buying a crane if few of your jobs are going to require it – hiring a crane will save you huge amounts of money.
Shop around for finance schemes
Some equipment may be too expensive to buy outright. If you do require a loan, make sure to take the time to shop around first. You may find that there are business loans out there with cheaper interest rates and reduced repayments compared to finance schemes offered by equipment sellers.
Use specialist sellers for specialist tools
If you’re trying to buy specialist tools such as a specific catheter for a medical clinic, consider looking into specialist sellers. These sellers will be able to offer specialist knowledge and you may have a greater range of products to choose from.

The other day was my hubbies 35th birthday, and I had been promising to pull out my old Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes recipe, so I thought what better time than his b-day! Today I’m going to share this delicious and rich dessert with you!
Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes A delicious cupcake that takes just like your eating a banana cream pie!
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix ( I use Immaculate because its the closest to homemade) + ing on the back
1 Box Vanilla Pudding Mix
1 Box Nilla Waffers
1 Box Instant Banana Pudding Mix
1 1/2 c Cold Milk
1 Banana
Frosting
1 c Soft Butter
1 c Vegetable Shortening
2 lbs Confectioners Sugar
8 oz Whipped Cream
3 tbs Heavy Cream
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tsp Banana Extract
Preheat oven to 350*. Line 2 muffin tins with 24 paper liners and spray with baking spray.
In large bowl prepare the cake mix according to the instructions. Stir in the box of vanilla pudding mix without the milk..mix until blended.
Place a single cookie in the bottom of each paper liner then pour batter into each filling each 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 min depending on your oven (check with toothpick at 18min)
Cool completely
Once cupcakes have cooled completely, core them using a sharp knife as to not mangle the cupcake. Be careful as to not cut completely through the bottom of the cupcake, the cookie should help with this.
Prepare your filling. In a medium bowl combine milk, banana cream pudding & sliced banana and stir to combine..you want your banana sliced then quartered so they are small bits. fill the cupcakes with the pudding.
Make your frosting. mix together butter, shortening, whipped cream, heavy cream, vanilla, & banana until blended. Next add in your confectioners sugar, and mix until smooth. Place in piping bag and pip generously over the top of the cupcake and pudding filling.
Keep refrigerated if not eating that day.
You can make this without the pudding filling and it still tastes like a banana cream pie, but its not as messy and easier for children to handle.
