Minnesota Fishing Resorts

It’s almost a month now since the start of summer and yet I can’t push through our plans of vacationing in the North where temperature is colder. For the past several weeks temperature is very hot and humid. I want to go somewhere where nature is at its best like Minnesota fishing resorts where everything is just perfectly nature. It’s the place of fantastic fishing and boating experience.

I missed my province where we enjoy our time in the farm getting fruit crops and fishing in the pond. We grill and eat our catch of the day afterwards. Those living in Minnesota have the same privilege as this as they can bring their family for a few days or over the weekend and just rest there with the whole family. They can do plenty of activities such as boating, fishing pelican lake, nature trips or just laze around the beauty of the nature. The boys will love fantastic bass, crappie and walleye fishing for sure. It’s such a nice thought that even I almost enjoyed my melancholic description of what a vacation would be like in Island View Resort.

This is really a good vacation for the family as you can mix your hobby with vacation with your family. No need to worry about accommodation as they have wonderful northern mn cabin rentals by the lake that will make your stay as comfortable as you can feel at home. Experience the thrill of waking up to a bright morning with the lake in your window view. This is great not only for fishing or family vacation but for retreats, romantic vacation and for group tours as well.

Look for Better Investments

When I resigned from my stable and regular job for 16 years I thought of investing my small earnings to a profitable business. I was thinking hard and getting advices from my former colleagues and family if I will put my money on business or buy some stocks. I have one business in mind and that’s our old meat products business. But since I’m too busy then it didn’t pushed through. Well many of the retired employees have switched to running small business because they think that it will help them somehow. Some of them invest on stocks but they’ve made sure that they study and learn about option trading before venturing in stocks business. The business can really give you some nice profitable income but you need proper training and advices from the experts in order to achieve that.

Well there are many ways of investing your money but is sure to put it into a good investment program that promises high return of investment. We should always be aware of how we use our money because in this time of great economic crisis we need a lot of wise planning and budgeting. People who know how to handle money are the ones who become successful in their chosen field of investment. Start saving up money and look for better investments so you’ll have some financial backups when the going gets tough!

PH#211 : Black (Butterflies)

My take for the black theme this week are the beautiful black butterflies at BioResearch Butterfly garden, a garden full of multi-colored butterflies where you'll experience having close contacts with them. In this garden you could almost touch the beautiful butterflies though it's instructed before you enter to prevent from touching them as they're so delicate to hold. I enjoyed my little boy's educational tour then as I didn't just learned many things but I collected a stock full of photos for different memes :-)

Quality Business Uniforms

Looking good and wearing the right clothes is a must in every work industry we’re employed in. Employees should look the way they should be in whatever job they have. For those who are front-liners it’s a must that they look respectful but friendly enough for the customers. Dressing up to fit your work level is one trait that employees should learn. I had some hard time in the past with making our employees follow the rule of our dress code. I told them that they should wear polo, blouse or something office-like attire from Monday until Thursday and then on Friday they can be casual and wear anything they like. We don’t have uniform polo in our office so I just told them to wear appropriate clothes so we can all look respectful in our work.

Some people just can’t follow but I know if they’re working in first class hotels they would be forced to wear their hotel uniforms because there are strict regulations there. They want their staff to look good because if the staff are nice and looks very good with their uniforms their clients will keep coming back. Well if you want your employees to look beautiful and very professional with their uniforms you can get ID by Landau's products. They offer quality uniforms for all types of work. They also specialize in business uniforms and they have choices of clothes for different look you may need in your work. You can have casual or tailored look. Be assured that you’re getting quality, comfort and good fit in every ID by Landau’s products.

Don’t Risk Our Health

I’m arranging my receipts and some notes from my little boy’s new school when I was asked by my friend about some weight loss pills she bought when she travelled to another country. She was convinced that it’s guaranteed to give fast results but when she reached home she’s having second thoughts. I told her that any medicine or drugs she may want to take she should consult it to her doctor in case she has allergy or sensitivity to some kind of pills or if the pills she brought are safe or risky to take. Sometimes we take risks in order to achieve our goals but for me if your health will be in danger you shouldn’t take the risk. It’s safe to consult and take the advice of trusted doctors to prevent from getting bad effects. Anyway losing weight drastically is not good for me.

Only One

You can have as many friends as you want, you can have boyfriends or girlfriends in your life, you can have all the things you want but you can only have one Mother in your life and she's irreplaceable. Nothing and no one can compare her devotion, love and caring hands. It's as if God has entrusted us to our mothers for guidance and support. I thank God for giving us one of the best gifts that a person can ever have and that's our very own dear Mom. Now that I have my family and my own kids I feel the very same love that my Mom gives to me with my own kids. There are hundreds of beautiful things and great people that we encounter each day but our Mothers are unique and only one.

Distinctive Look of Chefs

I’m fond of cooking and love to taste different dishes in different restaurants, and I get great satisfaction in guessing the ingredients in particular recipes I’m interested in. With my hobby of cooking I have a habit of observing professional chefs often when they come out of the kitchen, sometimes to speak personally to a customer. I am impressed with how professional they look when they are dressed in complete chef attire and I can imagine myself in the kitchen cooking when wearing chef apparel, and of course I would love to be in their shoes if I’m ever given a chance to study culinary arts someday. Anyway as a keen observer of the chefs I have noticed that some of them have the traditional chef apparel with those classic muffin hats that I remember since I was a kid.

I think chef apparel plays an important part in distinguishing the character and class of the restaurant. You can be trendy in your choice of hats, shirts, coats and chef pants and the quality of the uniforms will set your restaurant apart from others. If you wish to come up with style, fashion, and quality I suggest you look at the selection of iD by Landau apparel. You can create a professional and distinctive look for your restaurant chef and employees with the right combination of colors and uniform style.

I just browsed their website and saw the elegant black aprons that would suit an evening event well. iD by Landau provides a black tuxedo apron that will blend well with any elegant evening affair. I myself would love to have one of those stylish black aprons to wear when cooking a special meal for my friends. If you own a restaurant the menu isn't all that matters, it should be coupled with good looking staff and great service.

Finishing Tasks for Tomorrow's Occasion

I’m hurrying up today as I’ve many tasks to do because my PC was down and I’ve accomplished zero tasks yesterday. We’ll be going tomorrow to the baptism of my niece’ baby girl Sofia. Iya as we fondly call her is vacationing in her father’s Mom house and her grand Mom thought it best to have her baptized before she comes back here in our compound. So tomorrow we’ll be visiting her and my two young girls will be her sponsors also. My niece asked me if I could assist her MIL in the morning to prepare necessary things for the reception and entertain them as well when they arrive. I will be their official photographer also lol! Well I would love to do that and for my baby Iya I would gladly do the honors of taking her special day pictures. Well it’ll be my day off tomorrow; blogging will have to be after the celebration.

Healthy Ways on Getting Slimmer

As you grow older your metabolism decreases and slows down. When I was younger I could eat large amount of carbohydrate-rich foods without getting heavy and fat. I’m a sporty person and I think that helped too but the main thing that really helped me was my fast metabolism. Now after having three kids and being married for fourteen years I noticed that everything I eat added up to my weight. This is an alarming thought and I have to make a healthy balanced diet without fat, have some exercise and move as often as I can to at least prevent myself from being too fat.

I have tried many ways of losing some weight but I tried to do my dieting the healthy way as I don’t want to be slimmer but sickly. Anyway I heard about this hCG weight loss Spokane from a friend and noted to inquire about it. Now I’m trying to start a diet of fruits, veggies and fish only on lunch and dinner. I only eat meat and rice during breakfast which I can’t give up because I’m a morning person who gets strength on breakfast meals. I’m energetic when I have full breakfast and the succeeding meals are easy on me. I can eat whatever I want without craving for more. I discovered that fruits can cleanse your body system and it’s the best for removing bad toxins. I’m preparing myself for a real cleansing diet of raw foods and fruits only.

For now I’m reducing my intake of rice and meat. I’m actually quite successful about it and I’m enjoying it just like my friend is enjoying her hCG diet Spokane as she’s very excited at the results. Well I have yet to see her now but she’s living very far from us. She said she’ll talk about her weight loss Spokane when we meet next month after the summer season. She’s not fond of traveling in this very hot summer heat and she’s protecting herself from any sickness that may arise when she’s tired herself in visiting far away places. So I’ll wait for another month until I get to see this friend of mine.
