What to Look for in a Web Host

After having suffered from a very unfortunate scam from the company that hosted our primary blog from January to June this year, we know better than to just believing what companies claim to be. We were too naïve and ignorance is not an excuse and obviously spared us nothing.

If you are looking into a hosting site, make sure to head over www.wpdesigner.com. They have a list of best 10 web hosting sites and you get to read reviews from the clients themselves. This way, you do not just get a hold of a company that will provide your hosting needs but will also assure you that claims are realistic from the very people who are paying for their services.

I can only wish that I knew about this before I availed of that scammer’s site. Although I was able to get the cached copies of my articles, I still have a handful I was not able retrieve anymore. The scammer could have left us with the advanced payment his clients gave them for a year, but at least he could have given us access to our databases. What happened is a blogger’s nightmare, to say the least and something that no one should ever have to experience.

Packing Luggage for the Family

When you go out on a vacation, do you just throw your stuff in the luggage or do you keep a checklist? Whether you are going on one of those neat Branson vacations or having just a quick getaway from the city, here are some things that might help if you would rather have your “to go stuff” organized.

First to consider is the number of people you are going to have to pack away for. If you can have them in the team of packers, then that would even be neater. More often than not, this task is left to the mother. Being the queen of your home, more or less, you already know the basic needs of every member of the family. Start with the basics, keeping in mind the number of days you are on vacation.

You would also have to consider packing light, especially if you are going with a handful of children with you. If you think you have put all the basic stuff in the luggage, get each member of the family into the packing job, letting them know what you have already done for them and reminding them too that if they are going to add anything in, to make sure to keep it “light.”

What Specifications to Look for in a Computer

Whether you are looking for a desktop or a laptop computer, you first have to decide what you are going to do with it, before looking for the specifications that you need. With computers practically upgrading by the day, it is so easy to just get the high end, if you can at all afford it. But the thing is, it really depends on what you are going to use it for. 

If you are going to use the computer for just the basic office work, computations, encoding, et.al, then a computer with a basic specification can do the job. The next thing to do, when you have decided on the kind of work you are going to have your computer do, then it should be time to canvass in computer shops. Don’t buy just yet as soon as you get in the shops, get the models and go online, compare and read users reviews. This is the way to go to make sure you will be at peace with the purchase of the computer.

Start Spending Smart

Here is another tip to those who would like to know more on How You Can Start Spending Smart. If you are wearing eyeglasses, chances are you have to get it replaced yearly at the least. And we all know how pricey a pair of good quality glasses are. If you have not heard about $ 8 Rx eyeglasses, then you should check Zenni Optical the soonest – My favorite high fashion eyeglasses.

Skin Care Tip: Johnson's Body Care Line

After years and years of taking care of our baby's delicate skin, Johnson & Johnson has come up with Body Care Line for Women.  

Recent studies reveal that dryness is the top skin problem faced by one out of three women. Luckily, women now have a new solution for dryness, with the Johnson’s Body Care 24 Hour Lasting Moisture Body Lotion and Wash. It helps combat dryness with its moisture-rich ingredients such as shea butter, vitamin E and jojoba oil. Shea butter softens and moisturizes the skin, while vitamin E has antioxidant properties that help protect skin cells from damage and free radicals. Jojoba oil, meanwhile, helps balance the skin’s sebum and also moisturizes dry skin. This unique combination of ingredients helps stop the three signs of dryness as it reduces skin tightness, lessens skin flakiness and revives dull-looking skin. Johnson’s Body Care 24 Hour Lasting Moisture Body Lotion and Wash are specially formulated to leave a woman’s skin moisturized, soft and touchable from sunrise to sundown.

To help women counter the effects of daily stress, the Johnson’s Body Care Melt Away Stress Body Lotion and Wash are enriched with the aromatic fragrances of chamomile, lavender and moonflower. These natural ingredients are clinically proven to have a soothing and calming effect on the mind and body as they help women relax their senses and relieve stress. Best to use at night, these products promote better rest and a good night’s sleep. The unique combination of ingredients helps melt away stress and refreshes the skin. 

For the woman who is frequently exposed to the sun, the Johnson’s Body Care Naturally White Daily UV Body Lotion and Wash offer a good tandem solution. The range contains a “soft and fair” formula with 8x UV protection, milk proteins and vitamin C to help protect skin from sun damage and retain the skin’s natural brightness. Vitamin C helps reduce the aging effects of the sun by stifling the effects of UV rays before they harm the skin, while milk proteins provide skin with a soft, supple feel. The combined effect of the lotion and wash helps protect the skin and allows women to glow with the radiance of naturally fair skin.

A Glass of Water Before Meals

If you are trying to lose weight and are having a hard time controlling your appetite, you can try this simple habit. Drink one glass of water before every meal. This will trick your tummy to feeling half filled, so you only eat a portion of what you used to eat previously.

Water is not just good for your body, it also helps your body get rid of retained water.  When you drink plenty of water, the water retained will be released.  Cut down on salt and sodium rich foods.  More salt in your body will cause water retention.

Study shows Downy Antibac wards off mosquitoes on fabric

Press Release: 

This rainy season, moms can now count on added protection from mosquitoes for their kids as studies show that the fabric conditioner Downy Antibac lessens mosquito landings on fabric by at least 33%.

The efficacy of Downy Antibac in repelling mosquitoes was discovered in studies done by 4 independent institutions around Asia including the Philippine Association of Entomologists (PAE). 

In the Mosquito Repellency test, panelists exposed their fabric-wrapped arms to mosquitoes for a set amount of time. The number of mosquitoes was then counted for the fabric washed in Downy Antibac and the fabric not washed in Downy Antibac. 

“When we first found out about Downy Antibac, we wanted to test it ourselves because this was the first fabric conditioner we’ve heard of that offers mosquito repelling benefits,” said Cecille D. Ebuenga, President of the PAE.

“We were very happy with the results, which showed 53% less incidence of mosquito landing on the fabric washed with Downy Antibac. These are even better than the scores from the other countries! It means that moms now have an additional way to protect their kids from mosquitoes, which are among the most dangerous insects to humans because of the diseases they can carry.” 

This news is especially relevant for families during this typhoon season, where mosquitoes are more prevalent.

“Mosquito eggs cannot hatch without water, though they can live up to 2 months in dry weather. As soon as they come in contact with water though, they will hatch and in around a week they will grow from wigglers to become adult mosquitoes,” said Ebuenga.

He further explained that skin temperature and moisture serve as short-range attractants for mosquitoes – the ammonia in sweat in particular, seems to be the most important chemoattractant for humans. Furthermore, incubated or aged sweat is significantly more attractive than fresh sweat for mosquitoes.

Microorganisms present in fresh sweat shows distinct growth during incubation so to help repel mosquitoes, Downy Antibac works by preventing the growth of malodor-causing germs on fabrics. It contains an antibacterial ingredient that deposits on fabric and ruptures the cell walls of bacteria therefore, preventing germ-growth and minimizing bacteria population that can contribute to sweaty malodor.

Ebuenga also stressed the importance of hygiene in helping to prevent the proliferation of mosquitoes in our home and community. Ensuring that there are no sources of stagnant water in or around your home is one key way to help lessen mosquitoes by preventing them from breeding.

“If you have vases in the home, make sure that you empty it once or twice a week so it doesn’t become a breeding ground for mosquito eggs. Same goes for flowerpots in your garden – the insides of flowerpots are also good nesting places for mosquitoes,” he said.

He also suggested to use mosquito repellent lotion to help keep mosquitoes away.

Review Webhosting Services

If there is anything true about the domain disaster my primary blog, MarriageandBeyond.com has experienced, it is the truth that I have learned the hard way. I chose a web hosting service that was not branded and has not been around for long. I got hooked with the offer that I have unlimited bandwidth and they guarantee that I pay only the same fee of around $16/year for as long as I am with them. Less than a year and I got what I asked for. The hosting company was given away its scammer owner. I was still new in internet marketing and I did not know any better.

Now, there is this webhosting place you can check out and get real reliable reviews from webmaster themselves. This is the best way to go if you would like to have the nightmare I had at bay. I lost several files and practically all images that I have in my January to July 2009 archive. It was truly devastating to say the least. So please check out this web review site place first before availing of any web hosting services. This is the very thing that I will surely look into every time and will not just take the web hosting services’ claim on anything. It is better be safe than sorry.

Tips on Choosing Your Satellite TV Provider

Now that prices of subscription for Direct TV DVR has become competitive, consumers have better options as to what package they will pay for. Some of the things you should make sure before subscribing to a package is that the company will not require you to buy any equipment to get your satellite tv running.

This will entail that there should be some sort of a demonstration. A choice for an upgrade receivers to a DVR should be a big plus.
