How to Plan the Holidays for the Entire Family

The jolliest of times is finally here and we cannot be more excited about it. This is the right time
to reflect on the previous year, see what mistakes you have been making and trying to find a
way to change it. Apart from that, it is time to show your love and appreciation for the people
that you love the most. Family is also very important around this time of the year, and it could be
an amazing idea to gather around and celebrate the holidays together. But since this day and
age makes it very difficult to find time and actually do all the things that we want to do, this can
be a challenging task. Take a look at how to plan the holidays for the entire family without any
problems whatsoever:

Go big on the decor

In order to find yourself in the Xmas spirit, you will have to do a bit of decoration. And who
doesn’t like Xmas decorations? The first step is to go to your parents’ house (or the house of
your grandparents – basically the place where you created your earliest Christmas memories)
and go big on the decorations. Invite all your family and spend one weekend at the end of
November or the beginning of December giving this special time of the year the Christmassy
touch that it needs. Take the biggest Christmas tree, light the best lights and show the world
that you are in the festive mood.

Buy beautiful presents

Another way to create positivity during this time of the year is to buy presents for the people that
you love. These do not have to be big presents, a small sign of appreciation would be more than
enough. However, even though buying plenty of presents for all the members of the family might
be costly, you need to choose the most important person in your life and give them something
nice and pretty. Time is flying by and every Christmas is proof of that, so buying a nice watch for
your partner, mother or brother/sister is a great idea. In order to save some time, it would be a
good idea to find a great online watch store and see what they offer. They will deliver the
present to your doorstep and the only thing you will have left to do is wrap it nicely.

Organize a trip
If your family is big, then perhaps not everyone will be able to make it to your Christmas dinner
that you will organize. For this reason, and also for making it more interesting, it would be a
great idea to Organize a good road trip that everyone will go to. Once again, you do not have to
break the bank in order to make this happen. You can choose a location that is nearby and book
a nice cottage in the woods, for example, where you will spend the weekend. Traveling with
your whole family is not something that a lot of people do, yet it is a magnificent way to gather
around with your loved ones.

Cook together

When it comes to the Christmas dinner, there are those families that really cook the whole day
in order to make the most festive buffet, and there are those who either let one person do all the
work or order something from a restaurant. An amazing way to bond and have fun would be to
cook together. Determine who is making what and have the whole day for cooking and having
fun. This might seem unimportant and unnecessary right now, but it will create so many great
memories that you will, one day in the future, be happy to remember. You can also organize this
by giving everyone the option of cooking one meal by themselves and bringing it to the party,
and then deciding who the best cook is. It is a very fun way to bond, talk, and have fun.
This might the time of the year when it is cold outside, but we should be very warm in our
hearts. In order to do this in the right way, bring your family around and have the best time.
Show them your love and your support. Not only will they be thankful, but you as well.

Learning To Live Better With Your Chronic Ailments

Many millions of people live with life changing or altering long term health problems. Chronic illness affects many people which inhibits them from working, socialising, enjoying life and even sometimes being able to get out of bed in the morning. After the diagnosis of a chronic illness, life can feel incredibly painful and you may feel immediately isolated. If people don’t understand and don’t take the time to understand, you may feel very alone and even today there is a stigma attached to chronic illness which is just one more element to have to battle in your journey.

There may be some ways to help your body along on its journey, but of course any treatment methods you choose to take, it is important to run it past your medical professional, because one size does not fit all and you have to make sure it is right for you. If you spend most of your time at home because of your illness, it’s important to have everything you need around you. Start to look at what you enjoy doing at home and what is possible to achieve at home. Do you enjoy art? If so, make sure you have plenty of art supplies at home. If you enjoy reading, start to build a little library somewhere in your home, to make you feel as if you are venturing into the world, even if you’re not well enough to leave the house. Having a good network around you is wonderful, team building and focusing on that can help but being aware that not everyone has a team around them. 

There are ways to improve chronic pain, with acupuncture and alternative remedies. Even CBD oil which has proven beneficial for so many people and according to this source, the way you use CBD oil can change how long it takes the oil to work in your system. Another good source is gummies made from hemp- there is no THC so you will not get high but it is a great pain relief and it works very quickly. I know this because I have used it along with some close family members.

Implementing relaxation techniques can help alleviate pain short term and can prove beneficial to your entire wellbeing. Guided meditation, which can easily be found online and on many parts of the internet, including YouTube, breathing techniques which involve slow deep breathing can also help combat pain for small amounts of time. Take a slow, deep breath, sucking in as much air as you can. As you are doing this, your belly should push against your hand. Hold your breath and then slowly exhale. Repeating this daily or to whatever fits your schedule can be of assistance. 

Guided imagery is another way to relax and is becoming increasingly popular. Guided imagery is listening to a trained therapist or a guided imagery CD to move into a relaxed state.  Once you’re deeply relaxed, the images that come up in your mind can help you uncover things in your life you were not aware of and can help you realise your emotional and spiritual health and journey. 

Chronic illness is a lifelong battle and having breakthroughs in how you combat your illness can help you look to a brighter, bigger future, filled with all the happiness and comfort you deserve. 





Worthwhile Investments in your health

You can spend money on anything nowadays. There are updates, offers, and gadgets to control all elements of your life. You can download an app for near enough anything. But when is it worthwhile? When it comes to your health, you might be keen to make improvements and changes. We want to do everything that we can to stay healthy and live long and happy lives. And so it can be tempting to invest in absolutely everything that you see that you think might help you. We want to make healthcare easy, and we’re often happy to spend our money to make it so. 

But, your health isn’t something that you can just wave money at and expect it to be perfect. It takes an effort on your part. You have to make changes to your lifestyle if you want to stay healthy. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t investments that you can make, which could help. You just need to know what is worth your investment, and what won’t help at all. Here are some of the worthwhile investments that you could make in your health. 

Aids to Your Senses

Your senses are an essential part of your health and wellbeing. Our sight is often the first thing that we struggle with, and around 75% of us need some form of vision correction during our lives. It’s certainly worth investing in yearly eye tests to make sure everything is as it should be, and glasses or other corrections if you need them. Struggling with your eyesight instead of getting checked out can lead to headaches, dizziness, difficulty focusing, and other symptoms. This can all be upsetting, and not worth it when there is usually an easy fix. 

Another sense that can cause us problems is our hearing. For most of us, our hearing performs well until we start to age. But, not always. If you experience an earache, ringing in your ears, or any hearing loss, see your doctor or get a hearing test. Hearing loss can be corrected with an iphone hearing aid app and compatible hearing aid, which is certainly worth your investment. 

An Activity Tracker

The American heart association recommends walking 10000 steps a day for good heart health. Walking 10000 steps can reduce blood pressure, boost circulation, help you to burn calories, and control your weight. It can strengthen and tone muscles, improve core strength, and even improve your mental health. 

But, in truth, most of us assume that we do a lot more steps than we actually do. Ten thousand might be a lot more than you think it is. An activity tracker can help you to monitor your steps. It can also remind you to move for a little every hour, monitor your sleep, keep an eye on your heart rate, and track your exercise. In the first instance, this will give you a much clearer idea of how active you already are. Then, it’s a great aid to setting goals and making improvements to your health. 

Insurance

If you live in America or another country without free social healthcare, insurance is a must. It’s not something that you can afford to be without, and you should get the best policy that you can afford, taking care to read the details and restrictions. 

If you are traveling, it’s also worth making sure your travel insurance covers you for medical issues, or that your health insurance covers you when you are abroad. 

Exercise

Exercise doesn’t have to be expensive. If you find it hard to motivate yourself, then a gym membership or trainer might help. But, you could workout using online videos with just a yoga mat and comfortable clothes or pound the pavements with running shoes. The cost of exercise can be minimal, but you do need to invest your time. 

Good Shoes

Whether you want to run, workout at the gym, or burn calories and raise your heart rate by going for after-dinner walks, good shoes are a must. They keep your feet comfortable and dry and protect your legs and back by offering your ankles greater support. Invest in good pair of shoes, and you’ll find it easier to stay healthy. 

Good Food

Food is another essential investment if you want to live a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, fresh, healthy food is often more expensive than junk food. But it’s worth it. A healthy diet can boost your immune system, help you to manage your weight, reduce your blood pressure, help you to sleep, and keep your skin clear. There are so many advantages to a healthy and balanced diet, and it’s something that you can’t afford to skip.

Peach Blueberry Crumble

Life’s a peach. And as such, it needs some extra peachiness in you life with a peach crumble. But have you ever tried it with blueberries to make an extra special combination? Crumbles are a great dish at this time of year, and they are so simple to make, as you let the fruit bubble and soften, and the topping gets crisp on the top, so why not make this simple dessert yourself? Plus, with two portions of fruit, you’ll be getting in some really natural sweetness; a great combination.

Lemon Soufflé

If you really want to wow your guests, then you can’t go too far wrong with a souffle. They can be a bit of a labor of love, but they are dish that is ready to go right from the oven.

The smells that the cake makes are perfect for this time of year too, and you could even add a sprinkle of cinnamon for something extra festive.

Churros with Chocolate Sauce

Just imagine sitting in on a cold winter evening with family all around, munching on hot churros that are dusted in cinnamon sugar, and then you’re dipping them in rich and warm chocolate sauce.

The good news is that you can top it with pretty much anything as well. You can drizzle melted chocolate over it, or sprinkle with some more of that delicious cinnamon sugar. 

2 Winter Warming Crumbles To Make This Week'




Winter is a time for amazing food. The season is finally here where soup, roast dinners, and fudge puddings are everywhere in sight and it is the ideal time to enjoy great cuisine as we hibernate for the winter. If you have your own produce in the garden now will likely be a time for harvest, and you’ll be able to enjoy fresh salads, warming pies and soups to boot.

Here is 2 amazing warming crumble recipes that you need to know this year. 



Apple Crumble or Pie 

It can be said that nothing beats a classic apple pie, but this crumble comes pretty close. When we think of autumn and winter crumble recipes, apple is a classic, and this sweet and sticky crumble is the ideal accompaniment to a scoop of clotted cream ice cream.

Ingredients:
  • 140g self-raising flour
  • 85g butter
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 3 large Bramley apples
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 60g muscovado sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

To start, weigh out caster sugar and flour into a bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes, add to the bowl, and mix with your hands until a breadcrumb consistency is formed. Place in the fridge to chill. 

Meanwhile, peel and dice the apples, then place into a saucepan with muscovado sugar and lemon juice. Bring to the boil and stew for 5-10 minutes. Add more lemon and sugar to taste, and finish off with cinnamon. 

Place the mix into a baking dish greased with butter, and then sprinkle the crumble topping over. Bake at 200C for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve either with clotted cream ice cream or a warming bowl of custard for the ultimate comfort food. 



Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Crumble 

If you are looking for a showstopper that will wow everyone in your family this week, try this tangy and decadent chocolate and raspberry crumble. Once you’ve tried this once you’ll never go back. 

Ingredients:
  • 140g self-raising flour
  • 85g butter
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 150g dark chocolate, chopped 



To start, weigh out 50g of the caster sugar and flour into a bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes, add to the bowl, and mix with your hands until a breadcrumb consistency is formed. Place in the fridge to chill. 

Meanwhile, in a pan add 100g caster sugar and raspberries with a splash of water, and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly softened. You still want some structure to the berries at this point. 

To assemble, add the raspberries into a greased baking dish, sprinkle half of the chocolate on top. Then add the crumble topping and sprinkle on the remaining chocolate. Bake at 200C for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve with vanilla ice cream for a beautiful dessert!

6 Ways to keep your family safe in everyday life


If you have a family, it’s only natural that you want to keep them safe. From babyproofing your home, while your kids are young to teaching them not to talk to strangers when you introduce them to the world outside, the list of things to do can often seem endless. And it is true that you can never protect your family from everything – but improving their safety is still better than leaving things to chance. With that in mind, here are six ways to keep your home and family as safe as possible.

Secure your windows and doors

This might sound like a no-brainer, but various surveys have shown that people often leave their home without locking it. Additionally, research has shown that burglars often enter a home through the front door. So, make sure to lock your front door when leaving your home, even if you’ll be back in half an hour – it wouldn’t take a burglar more than a few minutes to enter and grab the most expensive thing they see. Of course, you should teach your kids to do the same, and you should install quality locks too. 

Meet the neighbors

There are more than a few benefits of getting to know your neighbors, but one of the most important ones is definitely the additional safety measure. Neighbors who know each other tend to take care of each other, and just like you’d watch over your neighbor’s home, they’d watch over yours too. They can maintain the exterior appearance of your home while you’re away – to make it look occupied – and they can also watch over your kids while they play outside. They are also a much better choice for stashing spare keys than hiding them under a rock. 

Be prepared for fire

Fire can happen for many reasons, from an electrical malfunction to a cooking accident. And when it does happen, it’s important not to panic. Therefore, make sure to install and maintain smoke detectors, and teach every member of your family how to use a fire extinguisher. Also, your kids should know how to call the firefighters and where to go if the fire happens while they are home alone. Moreover, it’s always better to prevent fires than to stop them, so keep your electronics, wiring, and outlets in good condition. 

Insure your home

Related to the previous tip, if a fire does break out, you want your home to be insured so you can recover from the damage. With that in mind, do your research on available home and contents insurance options. Find one that suits your family and home, and don’t hesitate to insure your home. By doing so, you’d feel much more comfortable, as there would be one less thing for you to worry about. Of course, it’s still better to prevent any damage than heal from it when it happens, but you’d feel better knowing that there would be a way for you to recover.

Maintain your privacy

Even the simple things, like using curtains and blinds, can make your home safer. This is because nobody would be able to see what’s inside, and not many burglars want to risk entering a home they know nothing about. They wouldn’t know how many people live there, if it is empty at the moment, or where to find the most valuable things. So, as mentioned, this makes your home less likely to become a target. 

Get a dog

Having a dog comes with numerous benefits for both you and your kids. They would become more confident, and their health would improve. However, a dog would also protect your home and your family. They are very effective when it comes to deterring burglars, and even if you get a breed that doesn’t count as a guard dog, most dogs would still bark at an unknown person and draw attention to them. In general, a dog would let you know if anything unusual is going on, and thus, it’s a great way to make your home safer. 

We can’t protect our family from all the dangers in the world, but we can reduce the chances of anything bad happening to them or our home. So, think about the listed ways of improving your family and home’s safety, apply them, and you’re bound to feel much more at ease.

All You Need To Know About Termite Control

Only decorating your room is not enough to make the living place attractive and hygienic. But you also need to keep it fresh and away from the pests that can damage the construction of your building and furniture.

Does the home décor come to an end with this process of setting the house? Maintaining that lovely house is as important as building it. During its construction, there are chances to leave a room for the pests to get in, and the horrific one can be a swarm of termites. Termite control, in that case, becomes imperative.

What is Termite Control?


Termites are a breed of annoying pests, best featured as winged insects that primarily feed on decaying plant material and wood that are installed in your house. Paper, insulation, books and swimming pool liners are no exception to its feast. Termite control can be a complex game to figure out and climate as well. It is because one can never know as to when the infestation has already begun unless we see damaged wood and materials lying all over. A termite control professional can be of immense use in such cases.

Signs Of Termite Infestation

  • Swarms of winged termites are generally attracted to light and can be found wavering around doors and windows
  • Examining hollow spots on exposed wood material.
  • Cautiously differentiating between an ant swarm and a termite swarm
Mud tubes over supporting walls, support piers, floor joints, etc.

Termite Control

Recognition of termite colonies can be best judged by a termite control professional. Identifying critical areas of infestation requires knowledge of construction. There can be hidden potential points unseen in our eyes but a professional might see owing to his knowledge. 
A termite control includes equipment such as powerful masonry drill, long metal rods, large capacity spray tanks and gallons of a liquid pesticide called termiticide. 

Types Of Termite Treatments

  • Physical Treatment involves the installation of a physical barrier such as sands of different sizes and steel mesh. The incorporation of biological control agents such as nematodes and fungi can also be helpful.
  • Chemical Treatment such as a termiticide treatment should always be carefully and strictly accomplished by a trained pest control professional. The process includes termite baits, liquid soil-applied termiticides, termiticides on wood and building materials suffused with the pesticide.

How To Hack A Termite Infestation?

  • Choice of a pest control company – It should be licensed by the state.
  • Experienced technician – Call for an experienced professional rather than a recently hired one as one required good knowledge as well as experience on construction.
  • Pesticide product label – The product label should display information as to how the product needs to be used. If this is not the case with the product, it is not meant to conserve your structures against the pesky creatures.

Self-Precautions

  • Filling cracks in the openings such as cement structures reduce the access for the termites to enter the structures.
  • Any leaks should be fixed immediately
  • Plants such as trees and shrubs should not be planted too close to the house as well as to some wooden surface. Not adhering to this precaution might lead to an outbreak of the termite swarm.
  • Measures need to be taken to stores piles of firewood far away from the house.
  • Periodic inspection of the termite outbreak is required as a precautionary measure.
Termites are a stubborn breed of pests that can go away with the right and professional termite control process, however, the fact that they help to decompose the dead and decaying matter to prepare our soil can also not be ignored, the reason measures need to be taken accordingly.
