Poison Plants Ruining your Summer?

Do you know of any plants that cause an allergic reaction to over 50 million Americas every year?  A species of plants that over 85% of the worlds population is allergic to?

Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, & Poison Sumac are poisonous plants that dwell in most parts of the United States and can camouflage itself in your garden.  Without knowing its whereabouts or its defining characteristics, this can certainly ruin a weekend if infected.

Redness, itching, and blistering are all side effects of the allergic reaction that can be caused by coming into contact with these plants and not taking the proper actions to rid oneself of the infection.

Next time you are curious about a mysterious green on your property or an awkward looking plant on your stroll through the woods, keep this infographic in mind before grabbing what could be an itchy mistake.

Choosing Your Path To The Top

Choosing Your Path To The Top

(Image Link)

Everyone loves the idea of climbing their way to the top in a company, overcoming the odds and being the boss of them all. Of course, this sort of dream isn’t easy. It will take years of dedication to your job to manage it. But, for some, this will be worth it. There are a few different routes to this position, giving you the chance to choose the way you do it. To help you out with this, this post will be going through some of the best options you have, so now it’s just a matter of doing the work.

  • Climb The Ladder

Traditionally, the best way to get yourself into a good job would be through climbing the ladder. You start in an entry-level position, doing a job which anyone could do. From there, you move your way up, getting better jobs every few years. In some companies, there will be a limit to the rank you can climb to. Being part of the company during recruitment times can give you a good chance to secure a job, but you’ll have to apply like everyone else. In some cases, you may also have to compete for better roles. Or, you could have to wait for someone else to retire before you can be promoted. This sort of method is best for those with no chance to study and those already progressing through a company.

  • Study The Right Courses

The internet has made it much easier to study, in recent years. It’s possible to study an entire course without ever leaving the computer. Of course, this sort of method is only good if the right course is chosen, though. To become a good leader and make your way to the top of a business, something like an online bachelor of arts in organizational studies could be perfect for you. It would give you the framework you need to be able to manage and lead, while also teaching some of the basics of business. A lot of companies respect someone who can study on their own more than someone who has gone through traditional avenues. It shows dedication and drive, something employers value above all else.

  • Starting At The Top

Of course, for some, the idea of ever working at the bottom of the ladder will be a bad one. Instead, you might want to start off at the top and grow the company you work with around you. The best way to do this is by starting your own business. The way that you go about doing this will be shaped by the business you choose to start. You might need to secure loans or seek investors. Or, you might just have to start a website before you can get to work. The best business people spend some time learning before they start. So, studying an online course could help you here, too.

Hopefully, this post will inspire you to start looking into the method you’re going to use to get to the top. Not a lot of people follow through with aspirations like this. But, why settle for normal when you could have something great?

Hiring Help: How To Know When You Need It

Hiring Help: How To Know When You Need It

https://www.pexels.com/photo/apartment-bed-carpet-chair-269141/

You have to admit; life can get pretty hectic at times. And as much as we’d all like to think that we’re Superwoman and can handle it, sometimes it’s all a bit too much. When you have work and home, kids and a family to consider, you can often feel like you’re running around trying to get everything done 24/7. But you don’t have to feel that way. Instead, you should think about how you can get help. Trying to do it all yourself can often lead to burnout. So it’s important to realize that asking for help isn’t a bad thing, but a blessing in disguise.

Getting A Cleaner

Making sure that your home is always kept clean and tidy often feels like a never-ending job, and that’s because it is. Sometimes, you can handle it, and that’s okay. But when you’ve got work, kids and other responsibilities to do, you may have to admit to yourself that enough is enough. If you’re getting up at five to get the cleaning done, then getting on with your day, you could be putting too much pressure on yourself. So hiring a cleaner for a few hours a week could save your sanity.

Hiring An Assistant

Sometimes, it’s not your household responsibilities that are getting on top of you, but everything else. If you have a busy working life, whether you run your own business or consult part time, you may find that it’s not easy to keep track of everything you’ve got going on. So, hire someone. You’ll find that personal assistants as discussed on quintessentiallypeople.com could save you. Hiring someone could take a lot of pressure off, so that you can put your mind to more important things.

Getting Help From A Nanny

Or if you feel like you can’t outsource any of your business or social work that you need to get done, you may need to get a little help with the kids. If you’ve got to be driving here there and everywhere to pick your kids up from school and take them to practice and rehearsals, it can take a huge chunk out of your day. But if a nanny does it, you should be able to steal some of your time back to get work bits done too.

Proving Home Care

It may be that your familial obligations extend past your husband and children. Sometimes, you also have older family members to care for too. That can definitely put a lot of pressure on you. So, instead of struggle, looking into senior care options like seniorsforseniors.ca that can ensure your family is taken care of. Plus, their care will be specialist and will ensure that your family member is happy.

Hiring A Gardener

Finally, you may also want to think about getting yourself a gardener. With everything that you have going on inside the home, with family, and at work, you may struggle to get outside and keep your outdoor space in check. So don’t pressurize yourself about it, just hire a landscaper instead. That way, your garden will look gorgeous all year round, and you won’t have to give it a second thought.

3 Tips for Creating A Sparkling Smile That Lasts A Lifetime

3 Tips for Creating A Sparkling Smile That Lasts A Lifetime 

Maintaining a bright, healthy smile is an essential part of a beautiful appearance. While you know this to be true for your own teeth, the same is especially true for your child’s dental health. If you want your child to have that perfect smile that graces the covers of magazines, then growing and developing teeth requires extra attention to ensure excellent oral health as a teen and an adult. This includes consistent practice of the basics: brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups at the dentist.

In recent years, there has been quite a bit of media attention on the dangers of certain oral care products. The safety of fluoride has been questioned, and the potential harm caused by polyethylene plastic beads has also been covered in the news. For parents looking to protect their children’s teeth naturally, there are three top tips to follow.

Teach proper dental health habits

One of the best ways to help ensure proper, natural oral care is to teach your child dental health habits. Empowering children with the knowledge of how to naturally care for their teeth is a powerful way to maintain a healthy smile. When your children know the importance of keeping their teeth healthy, and when you encourage them to brush and floss without being asked, you will help them develop the oral health habits they need.

Buy all-natural toothpaste and mouthwash

If you are concerned about the ingredients used in conventional toothpaste and mouthwash, there are exceptional natural alternatives. Look for brands that specifically list the chemicals that are not used (e.g. fluoride), rather than choosing brands that simply add “all-natural” to the product label. Currently, there are no real regulations on the use of the term “all-natural,” so be sure that you carefully select your toothpaste and mouthwash brands.

Limit sugar intake

It is a well-known fact that sugar can promote the development of cavities. However, some of the tastiest treats for children are loaded with sugar. Monitor your child’s intake of sugar, and be sure to limit the amount of sweet treats that he or she consumes.

Natural dental health can be simple

With a little bit of advanced planning, education, and dedication, you can help your child have a healthy smile without the use of questionable chemicals. Taking the time to learn about potential dental hazards can help you make informed decisions when selecting dental health products for your child. No matter what brands you choose, prioritizing your child’s oral health now is the key to a healthy smile later on in life.

What Are The Pros and Cons of Online Education?

What Are The Pros and Cons of Online Education?

In the past decade, the accessibility of the internet has opened up a whole world of opportunities. No need to trawl the shops, you can conveniently order online. No need to attend a physical workplace, you could work from home or set up your own home business. You don’t even need to attend a traditional college or university these days. Studying from home can allow you to reach your goals in a way that suits you, although as with anything there are pros and cons involved. Here are a few things to consider if you’re planning on enrolling onto an online course.

Pros: Flexibility

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to commit years to study. Maybe you have other commitments such as children, or you have to care for a sick or elderly relative. Maybe you need to be able to work a certain number of hours to be able to afford to live. With traditional college or university courses, you have to attend at fixed times and work everything else around this. However, studying online allows you to be flexible. You could work or take care of any other commitments during the day, and study online during evenings and weekends. If your line of work requires you to have a lot of experience under your belt, it also makes it easier for volunteering. Take psychology for example; when you’re looking at online courses mental health counseling is one option to consider. After you’ve enrolled on this, you could look for volunteering positions in mental health hospitals or other centers. If you did this alongside it, it would help to give you the experience you need. That way once you finish you’re ready to apply for paid work right away due to having both qualifications and practical experience.

Cons: Motivation

For some people, physically attending a class with a lecturer and other classmates can be motivating. Studying in the traditional way can allow you to feel like you’re doing things ‘properly’- you’re not distracted by things at home and attending in person can give a sense of accomplishment. If you live in a hectic or busy household, perhaps with young children or a house share with other students, finding the concentration you need can be tricky when it comes to studying from home. If you prefer to keep your study and personal life separate and have the peace and concentration that comes from a formal lecture, then a traditional college or university may be your best bet.

Pros: Convenience

When you study from home, you have everything you need with you at all times. All you will need is your laptop, and you can access the study materials and online library from anywhere. Maybe you work a job that requires you to travel a lot- no problem as you can study from anywhere at any time. Maybe you live far away from the nearest good college or university, no problem as no commute is needed when you work from home. There’s no worry about physically getting yourself where you need to be because all of your course can be accessed instantly.
