Do you wear high heel shoes? How about getting blisters from wearing high heel shoes? I will be the first to admit that I used to wear high heel shoes whenever I wet out at night….Which was every night in my 20’s to 30’s. Then I got married and no more going out but whenever I wear a moderate heel shoe, I ended up with blisters on my ankles and the bottom of my feet actually hurt. This is why I was thrilled when the review opportunity came about to review these High Heel Cushions Pads.

My Review/Thoughts~

I recently had to attend a funeral. The heels I wore, I loved until I got home and found the I had blisters on both of my heels. I never had this issue ever. I realized that I do not wear heels everyday as I do not go out every night. These heel pads and cushions could not be any more perfect because I now wear heels to church, out to dinner, to family events and everywhere. I think what I love most about these high heel cushion pads if just how easy they are to use. I feel that these are perfect for any women who wears high heels or even moderate heels and they hurt our feet. This is a 20 piece set which includes heel plugs to keep your heels from breaking down.

How much do you use EVOO in your cooking? I will be the first to admit that I used every kind of oil. The cheaper the better. That was until I started the Atkins Diet. They highly suggest using Olive Oil and EVOO is an allowed oil to use when cooking meals. This is why I was thrilled when the opportunity came about to review California Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

What Are The Best Ways To Save Energy At Home

Reviews · January 24, 2018

Becoming more energy efficient around the home has a lot of benefits. On the one hand, it’s great for the environment. It’s also an excellent way to save money. Just look for example at how efficient is solar energy technology these days. There are courses like backyard revolution program that now teaches you how to create your own small power station at home. This way you will get to save a lot of energy by turning natural sun lights into electricity. Thanks to modern technology and constant innovation in the energy sector, it’s easier than ever to save energy in the home. Here are some easy ways to get started.

Keep Your Thermostat Lower

When you’re not at home, keep your thermostat low. Lowering the temperature by just three degrees can significantly reduce your monthly energy bill, and you’ll be using a lot less energy. If you can go even lower, reducing the temperature by 10 to 15 degrees, you can save up to 15 percent each year.

Look After Your Air Conditioner

Air conditioners are essential for many people, but they eat up a lot of energy too. Keeping your unit well-maintained and having an expert come and do air conditioner repair work as soon as it is needed can make the whole thing much more efficient and save you money in the long term.

Turn The Faucet Off

Having the water running when you’re brushing your teeth or shaving wastes gallons each year. That’s water you have to pay for, and it’s going down the drain. To save water and money, simply turn off the faucet unless you need it running. Other ways to save water include taking a shower instead of bathing in the tub and running a full load of laundry instead of a half load.

Unplug Your Chargers

Did you know that even if you’re not charging your cell phone or another device, but you leave that charger plugged in, you’re still using energy? With the number of chargers households have these days, they could collectively add up to around 10 percent of your entire annual energy bill! Unplugging them when not in use is an easy way to save money and energy.

Insulate Your Attic

If you spend some time adding good insulation to your attic, you can save plenty of energy during the year. Non-insulated attics are one way that heating and cooling costs are bumped up; if the attic is not insulated properly, then the air you’re trying to heat or cool will escape, and your air conditioner or heating system will have to work even harder to get their jobs done.

Update Your Computer

Tech experts suggest changing your computer every four years or so because after that time they start to slow down, and they’ll use up more energy too. It’s not a cheap thing to do, but since it’s only every four years, you’ll have enough time to save up and plan for it. The cost savings when it comes to your energy bill should offset the cost of the computer over time.

Have An Energy Audit

If you’re still unsure where to start when it comes to saving energy around your home, you can hire an expert consultant to come in and check it all out for you. An energy audit is a great way of discovering exactly where you are wasting energy (and money) and finding out how you can fix the problems that you are experiencing.

Should Social Media Be Banned in the Workplace?

Reviews · January 18, 2018

This debate seems to be ongoing and is, unfortunately, getting more heated than ever before. While there are valid reasons an employer wouldn’t want to see employees spending the better part of their workdays on social sites like Facebook or Twitter, what employers need to also realize is that there really is no effective way to block social media on the job. Here are some of the pros and cons – you decide what is right for your company. That’s the best answer, in the end.

Everyone Has a Smartphone, Don’t They?

While you could always ban employees from using your company’s computers from accessing the Internet, if it were really possible to do so, they still have a smartphone, don’t they? Before the advent of smartphones, it would have been easier to prevent accessing social sites, but where there’s a smartphone and Facebook app, there’s Facebook.

Proxy Servers Are a Dime a Dozen

So, you’ve gone to the expense of setting up firewalls which are ‘supposed to be’ impenetrable, but there are dozens and dozens of proxies which can be accessed to get past those firewalls. All you need to do is search for a proxy site for Facebook 2014 and beyond to find countless proxies which will easily get you past your company’s firewall. Some experts ask, why even bother trying to block access?

At the Core – Productivity

At the heart of the issue is the whole question of productivity. Many employers still feel that employees who access social media while on the clock are spending time which should be spent working. However, at least one major study indicated that workers who are allowed to access social media are just as productive, and even more so in some cases, than those who are restricted from using company computers to log into Facebook or Twitter.

The Cost of Blocking Social Media

So then, as you can see, it’s almost impossible to block employees from accessing social media from work. If they have a smartphone, they can easily pull it out to PM (private message) on Facebook or tweet on Twitter. The cost of setting up a firewall is going to be extremely high and to what effect? Since workers can access social media on personal smartphones or through proxy servers on network computers, why would you even consider spending all that money setting up a firewall? Few employees are that IT illiterate to know how to work around firewalls. Bear that in mind before wasting money.

Big Brother Is Watching You

Perhaps the best answer of all is that you don’t want to run an establishment that feels like something out of an Orwellian nightmare. Do you really want your employees to feel like Big Brother is standing over their shoulder watching their every move? Do you want them to hide in some corner where they can’t be seen while they pull out their smartphone to touch base with family and peers? How is that a healthy work environment?

In the end, only you can decide what you will and will not allow employees to do while on the clock, but perhaps you should find a happy medium which will keep everyone happy. If productivity doesn’t suffer, why not at least allow them to access social media from time to time throughout the day on their own devices. Yes, there is always a concern that your network can be hacked, but isn’t this a happy medium? If the University of Melbourne’s study has anything to show, it would be that restricting access to social media can actually interfere with productivity. Even so, the choice is yours. What do you choose?
