Dating 4 Best Tips For Using Online Dating Sites In Canada 5:28 PM Are you sick and tired of coming home from another unsuccessful date? Well, there's the online dating world to increase your chances of finding a good match. Create a profile on one of the Canada Dating Sites. Write a good description about yourself, and be ready to meet potential partners in one place. Here are 4 tips to help you find your soulmate using online dating sites in Canada. 4 Best Tips for Using Online Dating Sites in Canada 1. Look for the right dating site Don’t settle for an online platform until you read about their security. The majority of free membership sites don’t provide their members with the required level of safety. It's better to create a profile on a paid membership website for security purposes. Ask around. If it's a good site, it’s highly likely some of your friends or someone they know is in it too. Look for online reviews of popular dating sites.Check also the age and other demographics of the members and see if they're of your interest. 2. Don’t get your hopes up Although there’s a much wider choice of potential partners online, it doesn’t mean that you’ll instantly find one. You have to be brave to make the initial step. Just like face-to-face dates, don’t expect every conversation to be a success.Be patient and don't get your hopes up. 3. Be honest One of the most significant rules about online dating is being entirely honest about who you are and what you look like. Be transparent and truthful when creating your profile. You can’t expect to find your soulmate if your relationship is based on lies. When possible, don’t use make-up filters or photoshop. Eventually, you'll have to meet the other person face-to-face. Don't make them feel tricked. 4. Keep trying It could take time to go through the numerous steps of the get-to-know process in online dating. Accept the fact that you might go through plenty of unsuccessful conversations and dates. It’s not common to find a partner on the first try. Be persistent. Conclusion If you want to succeed in the online dating world, make sure you’re realistic, persistent, honest, and extremely patient!
Beauty 6 Haircare Regimes To Feel Fresh Over 40 9:39 AM In 1997, a song was released that went to number one in the UK and Canada and made the top 10 in America. The song is called Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen. Among the many pieces of advice in the music, one lyric stands out: "Don't mess too much with your hair. Or by the time you're 40, it will look 85."Ain't that the truth? Between the heated devices, sprays, and constant combing we put our hair through, it's a surprise we have any hair left at all by age 40. But, if you have a head of hair that could use a little care and attention, there are fast-track tips that could see your hair look new and glossy.Here's a list of haircare regimes you can do to feel fresh over 40. 1. Resolve your hair issues. Dry and itchy scalps lead to thinning hair and a head full of dandruff. What scalp cleanser should you use? Avoid harsh sulfates and opt for products with moisturizing and nourishing ingredients. Wash your hair regularly to keep it clean and free from dirt, oils, and product buildup.A gentle daily moisturizing cleanser that brings the scalp back to life the same way a personal trainer would plan the health resuscitation of an overweight client is a great idea.Find a natural and gentle shampoo so you don't irritate your scalp further. 2. Adjust your shower temperature. You may be able to stand the heat, but can your hair? Dull and lifeless hair following a molten-lava temperature shower is no myth. The boiling hot water strips hair of essential oils. Turn down the temperature, and notice the bounce and springiness in your hair. 3. Deep conditioning treatments.Incorporate deep conditioning treatments into your routine to provide extra moisture and nourishment to your hair. Look for products with ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, shea butter, or keratin. Apply the treatment once a week or as needed, leaving it on for the recommended duration before rinsing thoroughly.4. Protect from heat and sun.Minimize heat styling as much as possible, as excessive heat can damage the hair. When using heat tools such as blow dryers, straighteners, or curling irons, apply a heat protectant spray or serum to shield your hair from high temperatures. Use the lowest effective heat setting and avoid using these tools every day. You can't escape the sun but can protect your hair from damage. Here are seven ways to protect your hair from the sun:Wear a wide-brimmed hat or a scarf.Use a leave-in conditioner or hair sunscreen.Limit sun exposure during peak hours (usually between 10 am and 4 pm).Opt for hairstyles that provide additional coverage, such as braids or updos.Fourth, rinse your hair with cool water after swimming in chlorinated or saltwater.Finally, apply hair serum or oil with UV protection before heading out into the sun.5. Get regular trims.Schedule regular hair trims every six to eight weeks to remove split ends and maintain the overall health of your hair. Trimming helps prevent further breakage and promotes the growth of healthy strands. Consult your stylist to find a length and style that flatters your face shape and complements your age.6. Use nourishing hair masks.Treat your hair to nourishing hair masks once or twice a month. Look for masks that target specific hair concerns such as hydration, repair, or strengthening. These masks can help restore moisture, repair damage, and improve your hair's health and appearance.Remember, along with these regimes, maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress levels are also crucial for healthy hair. Also, consult a professional hairstylist who can provide personalized advice based on your hair type, texture, and specific needs.Share your hair care regime that leaves your hair feeling fresh.

Home 5 Simple Tips To Keep Your Home Fresh 8:27 AM 5 Simple Tips to Keep Your Home Fresh If your home is clean, you don’t just see it. You smell it. Your home should be your safe haven where you can leave your worries outside the door, relax, breathe, and carpe diem. It should not be reduced to a dwelling place where you eat and sleep. Instead, your home should be your little oasis. But how can you relax at home if you not only see grime and dust but also smell it in the air? Ugh.With your busy schedule, you can’t find the time to clean.My house never smells fresh!Is that your constant complaint? Don’t fret. Here are 5 fresh-smelling home tips you can follow. 1. Dispose of the things you don’t need.Keep the things you NEED and eliminate the items just gathering dust. To make it easy and fast, get 3 boxes. Label them: Throw, Give, and Keep.The lesser stuff you have, the easier it is to clean and organize. A minimalist home makes it easy to move around. When you see clutter, it signals to your brain: There’s chaos!So, you can’t get that fresh, relaxing feeling. Dispose of your unnecessary stuff to keep your house looking neat. This can give you more space for your house to breathe. Follow the Marie Kondo process of disposing of clutter: If it doesn’t spark joy, let it go. Giphy 2. Add greens.Get an indoor plant for your home. Plants are nice and refreshing to look at and help keep the air clean and fresh by producing much-needed oxygen. When choosing a potted plant, consider these things: Size. Will it be too large for your space? Maintenance. Will it thrive indoors? How often do you need to water it? How much time in the sun is required? Aesthetics. Will it go with your interior? Most people opt for bonsai or succulents because they’re smaller. They don’t take up much space, and they’re cute too. Others create their own vertical garden planting their favorite herbs. This is both creative and sustainable. This is a practical way of decorating and keeping your house green and healthy while creating a fresher atmosphere. Adding fresh herbs for cooking makes the food taste better. Gifer 3. CAYGOClean As You Go. This is especially helpful for people with busy schedules who can’t find the time for cleaning. Instead of piling up chores and putting off what is needed tomorrow (which always gets postponed anyway), why not develop a system where you don’t pile up your to-dos? Clean the dishes and kitchenware right after cooking and eating. That way, there’s always a clean plate waiting for you during mealtime.Wipe water spills on the floor. Clean the bathroom after using it.Most importantly, take out the garbage regularly. Garbage left inside for several days or more can make the house smell filthy. It could attract insects and pests, a whole new set of problems. Keep your home smelling fresh by emptying your trash bins regularly. MakeaGIF 4. Add fragrance.How can I make my house smell good all the time?The answer: Scented candles and potpourris can give your home a sweet smell anytime. If you had a long day, whiff some lavender to stay calm. Wild orange, Cedarwood, and Frankincense can give you that warm Autumn-like feeling. Fir or pine scent if you want to be reminded of Christmas, even in August. It’s your home. You create your own kind of world however you like. The bottom line is that it gives you that fresh aroma that transports you into your own realm. A simple life hack: simmer water, add lemon slices and herbs (preferably mint), and inhale the smell of freshness. It will keep your home literally smelling fresh. You’re welcome. Giphy 5. Clean the air.How to keep your home smelling fresh?Remove the unpleasant smell of dust and dirt by cleaning your windows, air vents, fans, or AC unit. Get an air purifier. Pet hair, pollen, dust, smoke odors, and home construction particles could hang in the air and pollute it. Air purifiers cycle the air in the room and remove these contaminants so you can breathe cleaner, fresher air. This is extremely helpful to people who are sensitive to smell and suffer from environmental allergies. Families with newborn babies especially opt for a high-quality air purifier because they are more sensitive and susceptible to air-borne diseases.Keep your home ventilated, and make sure the air circulating is clean. Giphy If your home is clean, you don’t just see it; you smell it. It doesn’t end in a spotless exterior. Even those that are not visible to the eyes, like the air, should also be clean and fresh.

How-To Mediterranean Wedding in the Balearic Islands: 7 Tips 10:02 AM You said 'yes' to the man of your dreams and to the perfect wedding dress.What can make your magical wedding day even better? A breathtaking venue. There could be downsides to destination weddings, such as dealing with the legalities and requirements abroad. But in the end, it's all going to be worth it.If you want a Mediterranean wedding in the Balearic Islands – Menorca, Ibiza, or Mallorca – here are seven tips and some of the most critical factors you must consider. 1. Accommodation for you and your wedding guestsA destination wedding should be fun for everyone. So, your comfort and that of your guests should be a top priority. The ride from the airport to where you're staying and back should be smooth and convenient.Avoid delays by renting cars in advance. StressFreeCarRental.com helps people compare rental options from some of the most well-known companies so that you can choose a rental with a safe and hassle-free service from pick up to drop off.For your accommodation, explore options online for luxury villas in Balearics. There are villas with enough bedrooms for everyone, and you can also get separate villas for privacy. After all, it's your wedding day! 2. Choosing the best time of the year to get marriedWhile there are no restrictions on when you can get married in Spain, you should choose the month carefully. April to October are the most popular wedding months, with most weddings in June and September. Book your Mediterranean wedding at least one year in advance. If you're getting married outdoors during the summer in the Balearic Islands, it's best to have the ceremony late in the afternoon so that the sun is not at its peak. 3. Wedding ceremonies and the rules for non-residentsUnless they are Catholic, non-residents of Spain must be legally married in a registry office in their home country before or after the ceremony in the Balearic Islands. If you're getting married legally at home before the ceremony, you can bring your religious leader to bless the marriage. Non-resident Roman Catholic couples are allowed to get married in a Catholic church.Coordinate with your local church, as they should help you with the necessary documents to send to the Spanish diocese. Legal civil ceremonies should be held indoors, while non-legal blessings can be held anywhere.Civil partnerships are legal but only for people who have lived in Spain for at least two years. Since 2005, same-sex couples can now be legally married in Spain. 4. Choosing a venue and caterer for your Mediterranean weddingWhether you choose Mallorca, Ibiza, or Menorca, there are hundreds of options for choosing a wedding venue. Luxury hotels, fairy tale castles, breathtaking Spanish mansions, rustic farms, and the natural beauty of a beach or clifftop - whatever your dream destination wedding is, they're all here in the Balearic Islands.Consider hiring a catering service if the venue you chose dodoes not have a menu of your liking. 5. Choosing a wedding photographerHiring a photographer abroad is the same as hiring one at home.You must look at their previous work to ensure their style is to your taste, but you must also consider how to communicate. The last thing you want to deal with on your wedding day is a communication gap between your photographer and your wedding party.Find one who's bilingual or at least with an interpreter. You can bring your fave local photographer to your destination wedding. They will have to charge you an additional rate for weddings abroad. 6. Choosing a Mediterranean wedding dressWould you like to go full on the Spanish theme and wear a traditional Spanish wedding dress? Some beautiful bridal boutiques on the Balearic Islands include Rosa Clará on Avinguda Jaume III or Nuestras Novias on Carrer Paraires in Palma, Mallorca.There are also department stores that stock gowns made by Spanish designers. 7. Hiring a wedding plannerAvoid transforming into a Bridezilla by hiring a competent wedding planner.You don't have to worry about communicating with a foreign-speaking wedding supplier or dealing with the hassles (there will be many!) of planning and organizing your dream wedding.A wedding planner is every bride's best friend. Hire one and spare yourself from stress. Are you all set and ready to spend the rest of your life with the love of your life?What could be a more perfect start to that than an out-of-this-world Mediterranean wedding in the Balearic Islands? Hope these tips help you. Congrats and best wishes!

Working from home is not stress-free. There are still challenges. But deciding to do it was the best career change I've made in my life. Because the advantages of working from home are more significant than the downside. Here are 7 pros of working from home that I've discovered. 7 Pros of Working from Home with Tips 1. No dress code You still need to look decent when you have a video call. You can dress up if you want to, but that's the advantage of working from home. No one will judge you even when you're in your sweats or pajamas all day.Let's face it, not having to wear a bra also feels more freeing. 👀 As long as you deliver your work, your clients won't ask whether you've showered or not. (Though I do shower to wake myself up. Just thought I'd let you know before you presume I work like this 👇) Gfycat When working from home, you can wear anything comfortable without worrying about breaking any rules. Because you make the rules. 💡 WORKING FROM HOME TIP: Invest in a good blazer or a presentable top/shirt that you can wear during an interview or conference call. Giphy 2. Commute or drive to work no more The distance between your workplace and your bed is just a few steps away. Some even have their bed and their home office in the same room. No more hassle of waiting for the bus or cab. No more long lines and fighting your way in the crowd so you won't miss the train. No more danger of getting robbed on your way to and from work.You don't have to worry about arriving or coming home late because you're stuck in traffic. Most importantly, no need to brave the weather just to get to work for fear of being reprimanded by your waterproof boss. Call Center Life 💡 WORKING FROM HOME TIPS: Don't work as much as possible in your bedroom, especially on your bed. This will help you stay productive and avoid the temptation of taking a nap during your working hours. It also conditions your mind that your bedroom is for relaxing and sleeping. So when you step inside the bedroom, your mind knows it is time to take a snooze.Keep your home secured at all times. It may be safer to work from home, but it doesn't mean you have to be lenient regarding security.Don't forget to invest in security, such as antivirus software to protect your computer work from hackers and a sound home security uk alarm system to protect you from thieves.

No office politics or challenging people to deal with Don't we all have that annoying person at work we dread seeing? Have you not put on your headphones and blasted music in your ears to block the noise of nonsense gossip around you? And does it not irritate you when someone who works less gets recognized more just because they're drinking buddies with the boss? Is your boss a toddler trapped in an adult's body, throwing tantrums when things don't go his way? How many times have you faked a smile or tried to look calm even when you feel like throwing a fit yourself? Sarcasmlol When you work from home, you eliminate this kind of toxicity in your life. Giphy ⭐ LIFE TIP: If it costs you your peace, it's too expensive.Unsubscribe from other people's drama. Some people are not worth your time and emotion. 4. Choose your view Whether you want to work in front of your window, in the kitchen, or anywhere in your house, you can. Bring your work outside or in the coffee shop for a change (that aroma of freshly baked bread and coffee is a good stimulus). Giphy Or better yet... 5. Travel with your work You can bring your work wherever you go as long as it's convenient and you know you can still be productive. If there's a good internet connection and electricity, you're good to go. New place, fresh ideas. 💡 WORKING FROM HOME TIP: If you need to bring your work on your trip, set aside a day and time for work. You don't want to ruin a beautiful holiday. I don't advise bringing your work when you travel for leisure. Not only will it add to your luggage, but it also beats the purpose of vacation. Pinterest 6. More time for yourself You can finish your work either at the time agreed with your client or whenever you want, depending on your arrangement. Since you don't have to take the time to commute from home to the office and vice versa, and no colleague is inviting you to unwind after a stressful day at work, you have a lot of extra time in your hands. If you want to keep your day productive after working, you can run errands, clean your working area, organize your files, update your blog if you have one, watch a tutorial or inspiring speech or learn from other people in the same field. Or relax. Sleep. You need it. Catch up on your reading. Take a walk. Meditate. Work out. Serve the community. Get a massage. Find a new hobby.If you like to earn more, you can use your extra time to look for another client or work on some extra gig. You are the king/queen of your time. You do you. Giphy 7. More time with what matters most When you're staying home, you get to see the people or the reasons why you're working. You have the luxury of spending quality time with your loved ones. Go on a date with your partner. Meet a friend. Spend more time with your pets. One of our dogs sleeping ON my foot while I'm working. Had to capture that precious moment in-between editing. Clingy dog #1 Clingy dog #2 UPDATE: Now that I'm married, I spend more time with my husband. He accompanies me when I need to work outside due to inevitable instances like a power outage. That's an unplanned and productive date right there. You can't have it all. Like everything else in life, nothing is perfect. There are still challenges with working from home. 💡 WORKING FROM HOME TIP: Google and YouTube tutorials are your friends. When I first started, no one in my circle doing freelancing. But because I was determined to make the shift, I researched it. I attended seminars. As they say, if you want something wrong enough, you find a way, not an excuse. Join a fantastic group of freelancers. Here's one I highly recommend 👉 The Freelance Movement Workshop. This is where I learned freelancing hacks. I wish I knew when I was starting. Once you've found your rhythm, you keep learning and improving your skills, and you don't forget your BIG WHY. You will find that the pros of this work far outweigh the cons. Question for you: If you're already working online, what are your struggles? What do you think are the pros of working from home?

How-To Give Something Back To The Community With Your Career 12:13 PM What gets you out of bed in the morning? Motivation is a key factor when choosing which career path to follow. Some people are motivated by money, and while others prioritize low stress and flexible working hours. Others still put their creative or artistic talents to work or pursue their personal interests regardless of income. There’s no right or wrong answer, but it has to be said that there are many people in the world who have dedicated their time and talents to help their community to thrive. Whether you are just starting out on your career path, are looking for a career change, or are returning to the world of work after having a family, choosing a role that helps your community could be the key to lifelong job satisfaction. In terms of the education and training required, some only need a high school diploma to get started. For others, you may need more advanced education. Here are some examples of fantastic careers that give something back to the community. Give Something Back to the Community with Your Career 1. Social Worker A social worker supports people who are going through the most challenging times in their lives by connecting them with the right organizations and resources. The issues social workers are likely to face include family trauma, mental health, childcare, substance abuse, health, and employment. Social workers need to study for a bachelor’s degree in social work.With an advanced degree, they may be able to advance to a higher salary or even obtain a position as a community services manager if they gain enough experience. 2. Community Services Manager While it is the social workers who are directly delivering programs of support in the community, the community services manager is responsible for the planning and development of community programs and social services. They are sometimes referred to as social services managers and are dedicated to developing and coordinating programs that will improve the lives of people in their community. This includes research and administration as well as monitoring progress and analyzing the impact of a program. A community services manager will need to have excellent communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills as well as experience in social work and a master of social work degree. 3. Community Health Worker A community health worker is someone who helps the community live healthier lifestyles and works to increase awareness around potential health issues and preventative measures they can take. They will assess the needs of the community, develop a program that meets those needs, deliver it, and monitor its impact. A community health worker can often represent a community when trying to secure improved health facilities or resources. To become a community health worker, a high school diploma is needed followed by specific training. 4. Law Enforcement Law enforcement is a highly regarded but challenging career, but there are few others that are quite so selfless. The law enforcement officer works to protect their community, often putting themselves in danger in the process. Officers can work at a local, state, or federal level by upholding the law, arresting those who are suspected of breaking the law, and helping people who are in emergency situations. They may also be involved in ongoing criminal investigations and/or legal proceedings. To become a police officer, you need to have a high school diploma, be over 21 and have passed the training (including a minimum level of physical fitness). 5. Firefighter Firefighters are most associated with preventing and extinguishing fires in the community, but they are involved in protecting the community in many more ways. They will also respond to emergencies that don’t involve fire but require firetruck equipment, and they may care for injured people at the scene. Firefighters regularly put their lives at risk in their efforts to serve the community. What they do is not easy. Thankfully, there is now fire reporting software that helps fire services efficiently manage their entire operation throughout every step of the process, while also improving the safety of those involved in responding to incidents.Having achieved a high school diploma, firefighters need to pass specific training, be very physically fit and have a driver’s license. 6. Occupational Therapist An occupational therapist works with people of all ages to try and help them overcome health issues that negatively affect their quality of life. They help young children, teenagers, adults, and elderly people who have suffered injuries or illnesses (mental or physical) that are restricting them. Whether recovering from an accident, a life-changing injury, or an ongoing condition, an occupational therapist can be the key to their independence. Occupational therapists need to obtain a master’s degree and must be licensed. 7. Teacher There is a very famous song that says that children are our future, and if you believe that to be true, helping to educate children is an incredibly worthwhile use of your career.Education is not only about academic achievement but is also crucial in helping young people become the best possible versions of themselves. Equipping children with the academic, social, and practical skills (not to mention emotional maturity) they need in order to thrive as adults are literally building your community’s future. You can play a crucial role in helping them discover their unique talents and passions that could stay with them throughout their lives. 8. Counselor Counseling is a broad term that encompasses several careers, but in general terms, a counselor is someone who supports people who are working through emotional and mental problems in their lives. Often, a counselor will work in a specific niche, such as couples counseling, school guidance counseling, mental health, family trauma or breakdown, or substance misuse and addiction issues. The support provided can take many forms, including cognitive behavioral therapy, talking therapy, and experiential therapy. 9. Registered Nurse A registered nurse is a crucial role in the community.While a physician or surgeon will diagnose and prescribe treatment and/or surgery for patients, it is a nurse who provides practical and emotional care. Nurses are also often able to fulfill a wider role in the community, including educating people about healthy living and preventing illnesses.A nurse practitioner can take on a lot of the same responsibilities as a physician, including prescribing treatment. Are you still deciding which path to take? Steve Jobs once said, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do."Choose a career that gives back to the community and feel your love tank fill up.
