Home Decorating: Refresh A Room With Green

Are you wanting to freshen up a room? Try going green.  

Most of my designs I use a neutral color for the walls and furniture, then add a color or colors for the eye catching affect.  This will show off the color you decide for the room but keep it from being to overpowering.

Green is a fresh, upbeat color that, as you can see from the pictures, will freshen up any room.  It can bring the feel of the outside into your home.  You can play with the shade to create either a warm or cool feel to any room.

The Treatment For Sleep Problems Begin In The Bedroom

Sleep is very important in keeping the body and mind healthy.  If you are not getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night, you are putting yourself and your body at risk.   Lack of sleep affects your immune system, putting you at risk for getting sick.  Your productivity and mood are also affected. You body needs sleep you stay healthy and happy.

If you are have sleep issues, the culprit may be your bedroom.   A few changes to make it a room conducive to sleep, could very well fix the problem.

Your bedroom needs to be a place of comfort and peace.  A place that promotes sleep.

• Clear the clutter.  Keep your bedroom clean and inviting.   A messy bedroom can affect your sleep. Wash your bed linens often.  
• Painting your bedroom in a color that induces sleep and calmness.  Light blue, light green, light lavender, white, or cool neutrals. 
• Scents that have a calming effect should be used.  Good calming scents are; lavender, jasmine, lilac, chamomile, sandalwood, and rose.
• Turn down the temperature.  You want it to be slightly cooler in your bedroom, than other areas of your house. 
• Mattresses and pillows need to be comfortable.  Try some out.  Don't go for cheap when it comes to these.  The same goes for your sheets and comforter.  
• Don't put a TV in your bedroom.   Or at least turn it off when you get into bed. Don't keep exercise equipment out the as well. 

The goal is for your bedroom is to induce calmness and tranquility.  You want this room to be all about sleep. 

If after youth make these changes to your bedroom and you still can't sleep, it may be time to see your doctor

How To Make Money Blogging

If you like to blog, why not make some money doing it?  Its pretty simple and it is the best way to get your feet wet if you are interested in making money online. 

First you need to decide a couple of things:

• Do you like to write
• Do you have the time for blogging.  You need a couple of hours a few days a week for your blog

If you answered yes, then let's get started.  If you don't already have a blog, you will need to get one.  I like Blogger. But you can also use WordPress.  These are the two I recommend.  If you are new to blogging, I would use blogger.

Next, start blogging.  write at least 10 blog entries before you monetize your blog.  Your content is needs to be useful to get people to subscribe to your blog.

Now to monetize.  If you use blogger, you cant set up AdSense  from there.  They will walk you through it.  I have never used WordPress but I'm sure they have a help section that can show you how.  I use AdSense and Clickbank for my blogs.  Clickbank is easy to use as well. 

This is all I use to monetize my blogs.  You don't want to put too many ads on your blogs.  Use in post links.  They look better on a blog and people click on these links more then the banner ads.

If you keep fresh, useful content on your blog people will subscribe, but first you have to get them to your blog.  The best way I have found to bring in people is Social Media.  Use Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler, etc.  Get your blog name and address out there. 

This is how you need to start if you are new to blogging for money.  So, here is a quick rundown.

1. Get a blogging account.  Blogger or WordPress
2. Monetize with AdSense and Clickbank
3. Keep writing fresh content
4. Advertise your blog on social media

That is how you start.  Pretty simple.  Do this for at least a year.  You will be getting your name and content out there.  Once you have a fan base,  Then you can move on to other avenues to make more money. 

7 Easy ways To Save $5000.00 In A Year

Would you like to take a vacation , buy a house, or a car?  I am going to show you how to easily save at least $5000.00 in just one year.  If you can afford to, adjust the amounts higher and you can save even more.

First get a "stash" envelope and put in away in a drawer.  Once the money is put into the stash, don't touch it again for a year. 

1. Use the "cash back" option when you use your debit card to buy groceries or household items and get $20.00 cash back each time.  If you go shopping once a week, that is a total of $80.00 a month that goes in your stash.
2. Save all of your change in a jar.  When the jar is full, cash in the change and put it into the stash.
3. Pay yourself $60.00 a months when you deposit your pay check.  If you get paid twice a month, take out $30.00 each time you deposit. Put it into the stash.
4. Visit the ATM one day a week and take out $20.00 to put in the stash.
5. Give up something.  If you drink sodas, cut out one soda a day. If you eat out, give up one take out meal once a week.  This will give you $30.00 a month for your stash.
6. Clean out your closet and sell you stuff on Ebay or at a yard sale.  You will get a least a $100.00 to add to the stash.
7. Pay yourself for not buying items.  If you find something that you want to buy but you decide not to purchase it, take the amount you would have spend and put it into the stash.

This plan will allow you to save with feeling the loss of money. 

If you follow these step faithfully, you will have at least $5000.00 in your stash envelope in one year. 

The most important rule is to never take out any cash that you have put into the envelope.  Don't take it out thinking that you will replace it later.  Once it goes in, it stays.

The amount I used will save $5000.00. You can raise or lower the amounts according to your need and ability.

Have fun saving.
