Don’t Make these Career Crushers

You could be making mistakes that are killing your career – and you may not even know it.

That’s what this is about. It’s to teach you some of the mistakes you may be making so you can do something about it.

As you go through the different mistakes, ask yourself, “Do I do this?”, “How do I do this?”, and “What can I do to change this?”

If you find yourself making multiple mistakes, don’t fret. Just work on them one by one, step by step, and before you know it, you will be moving forward in your career faster than ever.

Kitchen Essentials for Every Millennial Home

 

If you’re new to having your own kitchen or just need to update your basics, here are some essentials for the millennial kitchen. They range from updated essentials to staples that continue to stand the test of time because the goal is to have sturdy, long-lasting products that do exactly the job you need to. Find your new favorite kitchen products below.

 

Not Your Parents’ Non-Stick

There are a ton of non-stick skillet on the market and many of them are awful. Some of them are great, but only at first. Honestly, we probably would have left the non-stick pan off this list if not for the GreenPan. With its durable, oven-safe ceramic and riveted stainless-steel handle, this is no ordinary non-stick pan.

The Air Fryer That Converted Me (Even as a Toaster Oven Loyalist)

I’m a toaster oven loyalist — IYKYK), but once I made the leap, I can’t imagine ever going back. I use this exact one (in blue) almost every morning to heat or reheat items for the girls’ lunches, and I actually prefer leftover pizza reheated in the air fryer to fresh. And for quick meals (especially on nights when it’s just me and the girls), it’s perfect for smaller quantities of tofu, chicken or salmon. Of course, it’s also excellent for making all those yummy junk foods you’d usually fry, too — fries, wings, onion rings, spring rolls — and my kiddos love it for homemade bagel bites and pizza rolls after school. I know there are loads of options out there, but this has genuinely been the best air fryer for our family.

Le Creuset Tea Kettle: 16 Years & Still on My Stove

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this in a post, but if you’ve ever seen a passing glimpse of my kitchen, this Le Creuset Tea Kettle has made a cameo. In fact, it’s occupied a spot on our rangetop for the past 16 years, and I use it almost every day — a testament to the quality and the timelessness.

It heats superfast for my morning mug of hot water with lemon, is speedier (and quieter! so long as you beat it to the whistle…) than my electric kettle or the microwave.

30 Healthy Smoothie Recipes That Are Delicious and so Simple to Make

 

Raise your hand if you love smoothies!  Mine is up.  And I even make my own, that’s right.  Well, if you love, like or have a sometime taste for a smoothie, here are 30, yes 30, for your drinking enjoyment.   “These healthy smoothies are full of the nutrients and protein you need” so say the Editors of Prevention Magazine.  You be the judge.  Enjoy!

 

Healthy smoothie recipes can provide an ideal fix for anyone who is looking for something nutritious to eat, stat. Throw a few ingredients into a blender, grab a glass and straw, and you’re ready to go in just a few seconds. Easy, right?

But not all smoothies will help you meet your nutritional goals. In fact, many pre-made smoothies (and smoothie bowls) you find at the store are loaded with excess sugar and don’t have enough fiber, protein or fat to keep you satiated.

Good news: If you’re looking for healthy smoothies for weight loss or just a better way to start your day, we have expert-approved tips, tricks, and ingredients to toss into your blender ASAP.

Whether you gravitate toward strawberry smoothies or prefer a rich, chocolate smoothie recipe that heads into milkshake territory, there is a tasty option for you. But before you decide to make one of these amazing recipes, invest in one of the best blenders for smoothies, so you can blitz everything into the perfect consistency every time.

A To-Do List for Stress Relief

 

By learning to apply more relaxing techniques and eliminating other negative ones, stress management becomes manageable. 

If you’ve been pushing through tiredness and mental overload, this is your sign to pause. Relaxation isn’t wasted time, it’s how the mind and body reset, making it easier to think clearly and move forward with fresh energy.

Below is a list of simple things to relax and reduce stress. It’s also a list of stressors that create chaos in our lives. As you can see, these are everyday activities.  Some easy to try and on the other hand maybe hard to avoid. Accessible to most people. Not every idea will work for everyone, so explore and notice what feels most calming to you. And what really gets to you.

Many of these practices are inspired by well-known psychological theories about how the nervous system responds to nature, rhythm, sound, and safety. The list is not in any particular order—read slowly and choose what resonates.

Charisma

I hesitated to put this post into a specific category because it could fit into so many that I like to blog about.  Motivation, check.  Business smarts, check.  Careers, check.  Conversation starters, check.  Gardening, uh, uncheck.

A nagging question I have, maybe you also, is charisma something that we are born with, or something that is learned?  We all know someone who can walk into a crowded room, and just own it by their presence.  Maybe they have mastered these “secrets” of successful charisma.  So, I’m thinking conversation starters because there are so many more than just 9 secrets, in my opinion, that maybe you would like to share your thoughts about this mysterious subject.
