Plans for the Weekends

There are many things that we can do during the weekends. We can plan an out of town trip with our friends or a beach outing with our families. However, these activities would allow us to incur large expenses. At the same time, it would also mean additional tasks to complete especially when it comes to making the preparations. So, instead of doing these leisure activities, why don't we choose to simply stay at our homes and enjoy a good television show.

We can still bond with our loved ones without leaving our houses. All it takes is to turn the television on and choose a great channel that will surely interest everyone in the family. Make sure that you have a good satellite TV in order to ensure higher satisfaction during the weekends. Take note that Saturdays and Sundays are the perfect time to bond with your friends and family.

If you do not have a good satellite tv, make sure to inquire with dx3 on your Direct TV needs! The dx3 direct tv company provides different packages for their consumers. Choose the best that meets your needs. Get your own plan now and make every weekend amazing.

Importance of Business Marketing

Marketing is one of the most important aspects in every business. Without this concept, no single company will ever make it in its chosen industry. Because of this, many organizations and firms focus in creating a great marketing team that will help them build a good name in the market. There are many ways on how entrepreneurs market their products and services. Internet marketing is one of the most common ways used by companies to promote their businesses.

The first step to take is to engage in local business marketing. A specific company or corporation needs to understand its local target markets. The marketing people should learn how to deal with the varying tastes and preferences of its buyers. Failure to do this can result to problems which may hinder the organization from meeting its goals and objectives. The second step is to provide all the needs of the consumers. By doing this, the firm can expect an increase in its profit especially if they can maintain a good level of customer satisfaction.

If you are running your own business, make sure that you keep these things in mind. Always think of the benefits and advantages that you could get once you engage in small business marketing. Don’t forget to use the availability of the internet. Nowadays, many individuals visit the World Wide Web to gather all the information and data they need. Thus, the internet is the best avenue to promote all the products and services you offer.

The primary key to become successful in internet marketing is to use search engine optimization. This is the best way to market your business easily. However, you must always remember that it is highly recommended to choose the right professionals which will provide their SEO services. Do a good research first.

Members Unite: Doing small things in a great way to making a difference!

I remember my first experience as a child when my parents built their first home and watching their faces glow as the builder handed them their very first set of keys. They were able to experience the feeling of living the American Dream --- unfortunately not many people from our country of origin (Philippines) get to experience that there. Here I am now thirty years old - I cannot believe how much I have experienced in just thirty years! From making a six figure income to living on welfare, and then climbing my way back to the top - it has been a roller coaster ride. Now that I have four children of my own, it was even more critical that we create a strong foundation for our family in order to balance the scales in life.

I recall a church member speaking of tithing and offering as Christians and being able to make a difference in the lives of others. I made that big decision five years ago when I committed 10% of my gross income to tithes. And although I actively serve in the ministry, I still found myself talking again about the decision to give to others and how even though it might seem that one person can't make a difference, when several work together a big impact can be made.  

We stumbled upon the Members Unite website and the concept was so powerful and yet so very simple. Members Unite searches for projects that will make a difference, and then lets members decide through a voting process which project gets funded!  I signed up for as little as $5 a month (the cost of a Venti Caramel Soy Macchiato at Starbucks) and we have the opportunity to decide which projects get funded. I really love that 100% of our contribution goes toward the winning project!

I sat down with my ten and twelve year old children to discuss the projects, and I love how organized and easy to navigate the site was! We all know how quickly children's attention span changes, but my children were really thinking these projects through and the decision was really tough! The photos and short descriptions really helped us get details, and with all of the projects just on one page - it made the decision making process extremely bearable. I hate making decisions - especially when it comes down to serving and helping others! I wish I could help everyone, but we all know that the best way to start is doing it one step at a time.

Guess which project was our favorite? The Habitat For Humanity project in San Francisco to help make low income houses a home. I remember a time in my past life where welfare was necessary, and I remember the feeling of discouragement and wondering if I was ever going to amount to anything more in life. A home isn't just about a dream, it's about memories, family, and a strong foundation for your life. "For any family, taking the first steps into their own home is a moment they will never forget. Opening the door, stepping over the threshold, and walking into the place that they will live, love, and raise their families is a feeling that cannot be fully described. Habitat for Humanity has built homes throughout the United States for people in need of a hand up, not a hand out. Habitat has built a community of volunteers through teamwork and positive energy, and for decades has provided real, positive change for people and the communities they call home. If this project wins, we will purchase and donate 30 front doors for Habitat building projects in the San Francisco Bay area, ensuring that 30 families have a front door to step through into the first homes they can call their own." As time progresses, we will wait and pray that our project makes the first cut to become one of the six projects that make it to the voting round in week two!

Are you interested in joining Members Unite and helping to make a significant impact in the lives of others in need?  Our family is hoping to inspire ten more philanthropists to participate this month! Remember, you can do great things in small ways, and you can do that by starting now.   Be sure to leave a comment if you join, and let us know which project you voted for!

PINTEREST: Need To Lose 5 lbs of Water Weight? Take the Jillian Michaels Challenge With Me!

*UPDATE: As of today (02/28), I've lost 1.5 lbs (assuming this is all water weight). Hooray!

If you are anything like me, there is that ONE (1) week each month before "It" happens --- *poof* you magically gain an immediate five (5) pounds! I do a double-take on my weight scale and raise my fist in the air in frustration. I work out 3-4 times each week, drink lots of water, and eat as healthy as I possibly can --- all that hard work and I gained five (5) pounds?! I was telling my Personal Trainer friend about my situation, and she said one of the major causes is all the water weight and bloat that many women have to deal with right before (and/or during) their cycle. 

I was exploring the creative world of Pinterest and stumbled across this life changing recipe on how to get rid of 5 lbs. of bloat that Jillian Michaels created and I am motivated to try it! It sounds very simple and effective, because it contains Dandelion Root (which is said to be a major factor in flushing out excess water weight). I am going to try this out starting TODAY (02/25/2012) and will update this blog post throughout the seven (7) days to let you read all about my adventures and results!

Here's the Jillian Michaels Recipe: How To Lose 5 lbs. of Bloat:

* Get sixty (60)-ounces of distilled or pure water

* Add one (1) Tablespoon (Tbsp) of SUGAR-FREE Cranberry Juice

* Add one (1) Dandelion Root Tea Bag (You can find these at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's or any of the the health food stores, if neither of these are nearby)

* Add two (2) Tablespoons (Tbsp) of Lemon Juice

Directions: You must drink the sixty (60)-ounces each and every day for seven (7) days.

*** This recipe works because it helps flush out excess water weight you have been carrying around in your body and you could lose more than five (5) pounds in seven (7) days (depending on how much excess water weight you are carrying around).
