Fathers Day Ahead - Why You Should Buy Sleepwear For Your Husband

Fathers Day Ahead - Why You Should Buy Sleepwear For Your Husband Sleeping is one of the body’s ways of recharging for the next day.   Not only is sleep vital to our physical health, but it is also needed to achieve emotional balance, mental health, and daily performance. A good nights sleep gives us the following benefits: Keeps us alert throughout the day. It allows our minds to remain focused and stay sharp. Boosts memory. According to studies, sleep is a prerequisite to forming new learnings and memory pathways in our brains. Recharge. While sleeping, our bodies work overnight to repair the damages that the exhausting day has caused. How do we get a good night’s sleep? Sleep routine. Have you tried making a sleeping schedule wherein you sleep at 8:00pm and wake up at 5am for about a week? According to studies, participants who didn’t have a sleeping schedule or slept at different times reported of having a poor sleep.   Skip the caffeine late in the day. While we all love our coffee breaks, taking caffeine late in the day can also affect our quality sleep at night. Caffeine rouses our nervous system and may alter the relaxed state our bodies should be in by nighttime. Dress in comfortable sleepwear. Yes, what you wear at night also helps you have a good nights sleep. When you wear jammies too hot on the skin, you might not enjoy waking up feeling like it’s summer inside your bedroom especially if you have your husband or partner sleeping (sweaty body and all) beside you. Shout out to all the wives out there, you might want to read closer as you might get some tips on what and why you should buy some men’s loungewear and sleepwear for your husband. Cotton Cotton is probably the best fabric with its incredibly soft and comfortable feel. It allows our skin to breathe and has little possibility of causing rashes or irritations that will hinder your sleeping experience. However, if you live in the frosty parts of the world, cotton might not be the best as you will feel chills to the bones with this one. But hey, if you want to give additional reason (not that you need one) for your husband or partner to hug and cuddle with you at night, give him the cotton pajamas. Silk Silk helps regulate the body’s temperature while giving an ultra-soft feel to the skin. For ladies, silk wear gives off that sexy and sultry vibe that will excite the husbands to go to “bed.” Same with the men, silk is the most luxurious.    Reserve the loungewear gift for your man during your anniversary, and he will surely love it. Supplex Supplex might not be as popular as cotton, but it is also a good option for sleepwear. It is light wear by nature, figure-hugging and definitely a good fabric during the summer. Cashmere Cashmere is the best   for cold and frosty nights because of the thick feel it has. You may want to pull this out of your closets for winter nights or reserve them for Christmas trips to some snowy parts of the world.

Personal Branding Tips From the Hidden Vault - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Tips From the Hidden Vault - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Note: The following is my MarketingProfs article that can also be found on their website. Since 1997 when Tom Peters coined the term “Personal Branding,” few had any idea or consideration of exactly what it called for and how to act on it. Today, personal branding has become the standard for career development and a necessary part of how we communicate with others online. Blogs and social networks only add to the fuel, concerns and opportunities for our brands. From personal branding, we now have personal eBranding, where we have to take who we are in reality and compose an internet version of it, without losing authenticity. This transparent nature of our brands, allows for open dialog between peers, while admitting mistakes and communicating a clear opinion, where we stand on topics. As we market ourselves as brand over the internet, we must be conscious of how we present ourselves and how people perceive us. Due to the nature of the internet, most people have neglected “small things” that could actually help propel our brands into superstardom. What may go unnoticed by some, will turn into a competitive advantage for others. Tip #1: Name and Topic Associations If you want to be known for a specific topic, then people have to be able to connect your name to it. Every time they see your name, the topic should surface in their mind. Likewise, every time they hear your topic, your name should transpire. But how do you accomplish this? First, pick a domain name that is either YourName.com or YourTopic.com. Second, take the title tag of your website that aligns with this domain, and put the topic and then your name, such that “Your Name â€" Your Topic.” That way when your site is crawled and ranked in Google, it will start the association. Lastly, use your name and topic in the keyword meta tags for your site. Free Meta Tag Generator: www.addme.com/meta.htm Tip #2: The Consistent Brand From your avatar, to your picture, to your blog, to your social network profiles and even your writing, as it appears everywhere on the web, you need a consistent brand. There are way too many people that fail with consistency because they rush into promoting their eBrand without first planning their strategies. All of your “main” pictures should be the same, meaning use the same graphic (headshot) for all of them. This includes your avatar (LinkedIn/MyBlogLog, etc), your Facebook picture and the image you have on your blog or personal website. If you are young and trying to be successful, but use different pictures, people will tune out or forget who you are, thus not making the association. If you are already a name brand, such as Donald Trump, you can get away with consistency with pictures. As for your writing, remember that your tagline, name, picture and bio should be almost identical as you establish a blog, guest post for other blogs and online resources and display your profile on social networks. A lot of people don’t understand that if you’re promoting your brand through multiple social networks, you need to retain the same interests, work experience, education and status fields. If you don’t, it will confuse the viewer and you won’t be remembered. Tip #3: The Social Network Sheriff TechCrunch has highlighted over 2,000 companies in their crunchbase.com database. About 80% of these are social networks. There are between 3 and 5 social networks that are announced each day and people keep joining all of them. As a personal branding expert, I’m quite worried that people are making a serious mistake registering for all of these networks. Issues that arise Maintenance â€" If you register for every social network, how are you going to possibly maintain your presence on each one? What if you switch jobs or decide you don’t like a certain hobby, as you age? As the amount of social networks that you register for increases, so does the time you need to spend updating each one. This can’t scale, so don’t do it. Personal information â€" By registering for all social networks, you are giving your information to many websites. Typical registrations consist of your email, name, user name, password and more. Why would you want everyone to have this? It is a way to open up privacy and identity theft issues. This could get you in serious trouble down the road, so don’t do it. Your checklist 1) Volume: A social network is only as strong as the amount of people that are apart of it. Think about it, if a message board has no messages or a blog has no comments, the likelihood that you will be the first to contribute is slim. If there is no one to interact with on a social network, then why join? If people in your location aren’t using it, then it makes no sense to join as well. 2) Credibility: So the social network has a million users; that’s great. What if the million users are people with no status and are not more successful than you are? There is no point in being part of something that can’t serve as a support system and resource for your personal brand. If the people on the network aren’t credible, then you won’t get anything out of it. To me, LinkedIn is the most credible social network on the planet right now because it contains profiles of Fortune 500 executives and leading entrepreneurs. 3) Relevancy: Totspot.com is a social network for mothers and their babies. If you are a single male who attends college, this network certainly isn’t for you. It’s a waste of your time and others if you sign-up for every social network and have no means of conversation. Again, what goes unnoticed by many can be an advantage for few. By taking the step, to not only build a personal brand, but to seek new ways to get your name out there, you will be more successful. When people become busy, they tend to lose sight of what they are actually doing and how they are being perceived by the public. These “small things” can amount to “big things” if you don’t manage them properly.

The Best Way to Advertise Resume Writing Business

The Best Way to Advertise Resume Writing BusinessThere are many different techniques you can use to advertise your resume writing business, but what is the best way to advertise? This is a question I am often asked.The billboard method is probably the most obvious and easiest way to advertise. You simply go to a billboard and ask for a job. It seems to be the most effective way, but it may not work as well as you may think.I have actually had a billboard goes up on my property. My neighbours drove by and thought it was funny. They thought it was very cute, but I was not amused.My first thought was that it was a great idea. It definitely has an impact on potential clients. You might be surprised at how many people drive by your home and don't even notice the billboard.The billboard method might not be the best way to advertise because it costs money to place a billboard. It will cost you money to do the advertising and also the cost of purchasing the billboard. This may seem like a lo t of money, but it isn't too much when you consider the results.A billboard is also more easily noticeable than a flyer. People usually drive past and don't take notice of the flyer. On the other hand, if they see a billboard, it will stand out and get noticed.The billboard method is not really a good way to advertise. If you are using a billboard, try going to some larger companies in town and let them know you are looking for a job. Let them know what your intentions are, what you are looking for, and who you are looking for.Advertising through a billboard will still work if you do it properly, but if you are just doing it for the fun of it, you won't get the results you would have gotten through a billboard. What is the best way to advertise resume writing business?

Motivation Monday Visualization

Motivation Monday Visualization Taking the time to assess your priorities, values, desires, wants, needs, dreams, and talents is certainly not the easiest thing to do. It is, however, one of the surest ways to discover   focus and provide direction.   Can you spare a moment to quietly explore the answers to these questions?   (Can you afford not to?) As you answer these questions, think of the ideal situation, in other words, knowing what you know about yourself and where youve been and the times youve been happiest, think about and describe the answer that would be most gratifying.   Dont filter or reject ideas. Just dream! You wake up and start your morning ritual.   Describe the details:   what time is it? What activities do you do? What do you decide to wear?   How long does it take? Paint a picture of what your morning would look like. It is now time to start your work day.   Where do you go? How do you get there? How long does it take?(You may determine that you work from home, describe this commute as well). Do you commute alone or with others?   Describe the commute. It is officially the beginning of your work day. Describe what your office looks like (if you go to an office) or the environment/surroundings.   Describe the details of your work space.   Describe the people you work with (if any). Define how you get paid and how much (do you bill hourly? Submit a your hours weekly? etc) Now, hour by hour or project by project, describe how a typical day is filled.   What kinds of activities are you working on?   Are you working alone or in a group or something in between? How is your day structured and who determines this? Create the ideal day. It is now the end of the day.   What time is it?   What do you do when your work is done- do you go home or somewhere else? How long does it take to get home and how do you get there? Describe the trip back home. At the end of this day, how do you feel? What do you look forward to doing the next day at work?   How do you fill your free time? What do you do to indulge yourself? How do you give back to others? Now that your done with thiswas it helpful? Did anything become clearer to you? Perhaps you will decide to share this with people you know and ask for their advice on how you can make this happen.   Avoid the naysayers right now as you have fun exploring the possibilities!

Creepy Networking

Creepy Networking Despite all the information available about netiquette and the importance of networking strategically online, I continue to get dozens of   mystery online networking requests. Sometimes the connection is as weak as being a member of the same group (with 50,000 other members) or as bizarre as asking for a face-to-face meeting based on the fact that we reside in the same city.Something strange seems to happen to some people when they network online. Its as if some people think that none of the common rules for building relationships exist. Could you imagine ever saying any of the following things over the phone or in person to someone you dont know?Ive seen you walking down this block in the neighborhood before. Want to meet for coffee?Someone told me we used to work for the same company that employs 20,000 people. Want to chat sometime?I found your number in the phone book. Maybe we have something in common.I heard through the grapevine that you work for a company where I would really like to work. Can you tell me more about what its like to work there?I found you in the 1997 student alumni directory. Im a graduate of the class of 1980. Would you like to compare notes?I know Ive never actually met you before and you have no idea who I am. But someone suggested I say since you are someone I know and trust, I would like to add you to my network. Does that work for you? (Hint: thats verbatim from a LinkedIn template that people seem to use whether they know you or not).You looked like someone I should know so I followed you home, made note of your address and then did a search to find your phone number. Would love to meet formally sometime.I found your name and number written on a cocktail napkin at a local restaurant and I decided to call you. I figured, what do I have to lose?Of course you wouldnt say any of these things! So why do people think this approach will work online? If you are using LinkedIn or other social media tools to connect with others, create aut hentic relationships and recognize that the affinity will grow over time. Even on Twitter where there are generally no gatekeepers for connecting with others, its still advisable to follow the person for awhile and create a supportive and non-threatening dialogue before bringing the relationship face to face.I am a fairly open connector on LinkedIn as well as other social media platforms. But I have to know a little bit about you and why you want to connect before I accept. Isnt that just common sense?For anyone interested in connecting via LinkedIn, you can find me here. Just be sure to tell me how you found me and why you think we should connect.
