My Fenced in World
When I bought my new house in a nice little community, I discovered what life was like with a wooden privacy fence…and the maintenance that comes with it.

My little backyard with its hardy trees and pretty flowerbeds was great for me and the butterflies that visited. But mowing the grass? Not really. But it’s nice being in my own little world that is what you get with having a privacy fence.

Why have a fence?
Sydney landscapers Intreeg Landscapes advise clients that the most practical reason is that it marks out the perimeter of your property. Your fence can also make your yard feel like an extension of your home.

How to Make a Bathroom Child-Friendly

Even though you will ultimately be carrying out bathroom renovations for yourself, it’s worth factoring your family into the decision-making process.

The more they are catered for, the more convenient your bathroom will be for everyone – including families with children who may purchase your property.

So, what makes a bathroom child-friendly? Some of the following things just might.

Double Vanities
Two vanities or a Jack and Jill sink can add much convenience to the average family bathroom, especially if there is only one bathroom in your home.

Rather than have to wait for the kids to brush their teeth, you can brush yours at the same time. Sure, you now have two sinks to clean, but you now have double the functionality, which ultimately makes up for that minor inconvenience.

What will Your Bridesmaids Wear?

Bridesmaids Wear

Most brides think about their wedding dress before making any decisions on what the bridesmaid’s will wear. But when you get to this question, don’t forget to think about the morning of the wedding day.

If you can provide bridesmaid robes or personalised pjs for them to wear, it will certainly be a help for them to change into their outfits without damaging their hairstyles or makeup.

In addition, any before photos will look really wonderful if all the bridesmaids are wearing such robes or silky pjs, rather than their pj’s or jeans and shirt.

Of course, the bridesmaid’s outfits should in some way reflect the choice of wedding dress so that the overall look becomes cohesive rather than piecemeal.

A Question of Soy

A Question of Soy

There are so many questions when it comes to soy. Do you believe the cardiac health benefits soy provides? Or do you avoid soy because of the phytates? Are you unsure about it?

Most importantly, what are we talking about when we say the word ‘soy’?

Traditionally, soy was eaten as fermented foods but now nearly all the soy we see & eat is genetically modified (GM) & unfermented. 91% of soy grown in the US is GM.

While this increases farming efficiency & provides cheaper soy, the downside is that your soy is loaded with toxic pesticides. (Think Monsanto) Current research indicates that GM soy is linked to an increase in allergies & even more frightening may have the potential to cause infertility in future generations.

What Are Probiotic Foods

A healthy gut has hundreds of different bacteria living their everyday life keeping you healthy, happy and safe from infections and illness.

That is until poor diet and lifestyle, exposure to toxins such as pesticides, use of antibiotics as well as stress impact our gut bacteria causing dysbiosis.

Dysbiosis is when you have more bad bacteria than good bacteria in your gut which can cause bloating, gas, indigestion, diarrhoea or constipation.

A healthy digestive system should have over 1.5kg of good bacteria in it so if you don’t have those good bacteria working hard to protect you from disease you are going to feel very unwell!

7 Dog Grooming Myths You Should Dismiss

Posted on

People love their dogs passionately which is why whenever subjects like dog grooming are being discussed, their views and beliefs relating to them are often ingrained. Unfortunately, this often leads to dog owners accepting advice about dogs they have been told without checking its validity, presumably because they believe that the person relating this advice being a dog lover would surely know what they are talking about.

The problem that exists is some of the so-called advice about dogs, and particularly about dog grooming, is complete nonsense. Worse, if followed, that erroneous advice can lead to the health of the dog’s coat and skin, and potentially their overall health, being compromised. For that reason, we have decided to highlight 7 of the most common dog grooming myths in the hope that if you currently believe any of them to be true, you will subsequently know to ignore them.

Myth #1 – Short-Haired Dogs Do Not Need Grooming: Simply not true. Whilst they may not have some of the problems that longer-haired dogs have, short-haired dogs still need baths, they still need their nails trimmed, still need their ears cleaned and brushing a short-haired dog regularly is still beneficial to their coat. Having a short-haired dog might be simpler in terms of grooming them but it does not negate the need to groom them completely. You can have help with your grooming at professional places, so you know your dog is in great hands. 

Myth #2 – Dogs With Long Hair Always Shed More: Contrary to this myth, it is the type of coat that a dog has, rather the length of their coat that governs how much they shed. This is why some long-haired dogs shed very little, and some dogs with shorter coats shed considerably. The health of their skin and coat also play a significant role in shedding

10 Childhood Speech Error Patterns Speech Pathologists Can Help Resolve

Posted on

As a child’s speech and language skills develop, they can sometimes go astray in the sense that they start to display certain error patterns in their speech, and this is when a speech pathologist may be required to help them overcome these problems. It can be the case that a child displays just a single speech error pattern or several different ones.

Speech error patterns occur when a child uses different sounds than the ones they should. These are often associated with children replacing letters or sounds with other letters or sounds on all occasions. An example would be using “W” instead of “R”, so the phrase ” red rose” becomes “wed wose”. Outlined below are more details on this and nine other speech error problems a speech pathologist can treat.

#1 – Gliding: This is the example we just gave, and as well as the letter “R” being replaced by ‘W”, it can happen with the letter “L” too. This leads to phrases like “The little lady is looking at the large dog ” pronounced, “The wittle wady is wooking at the warge dog”.

#2 – Deaffrication: Affricate sounds occur when we ‘rub’ two individual sounds together such as “T” &”SH” becoming the “CH” sound in “chair” or “D”&”ZH” becoming the “J” sound in “jump”. If deaffrication occurs it means the child is omitting the first part of the speech sounds so “chair” is pronounced “shair” and “jump” is pronounced “zhump”

10 Reasons Retail Stores Should Use Professional Commercial Cleaning Services

Jewellery

For anyone who owns or manages a retail store, the list of ways you can try to motivate your staff and to create the best possible shopping experiences for customers is a long one. In many cases, retailers often try to overcomplicate this and lose sight of the fact that often the simpler the solution the more effective it will be.

This certainly applies when it comes to the cleanliness of a retail store. Customers may overlook higher prices, or goods that do not meet their expectations exactly and still purchase if a store is welcoming, clean, and presentable. However, present them with a grubby store that does not look as if it has been cleaned in weeks, then you will struggle to even give your goods away, let alone sell them.

The best way to ensure your retail store is clean to the standards that customers expect to see and that staff deserve is to employ the services of a commercial cleaning company. They are experts in commercial cleaning, and many are specialists in cleaning retail stores. Here are ten more reasons why this is the best option for cleaning your retail store.

Protects The Health And Well-Being Of Staff: You may have staff with allergies, respiratory problems, or sensitive skin. For them, and every other employee, you must provide a safe working environment, and that starts by ensuring it is professionally cleaned.

10 Common Myths About Separation And Divorce

Given that a divorce is something that most people will never experience, or if they do, it will be once, it is understandable that knowledge of family law relating to separation and divorce will be extremely limited. This is why the most sensible action for anyone going through a divorce is to seek the services of an experienced family lawyer.

It is also a reason why there are so many myths in circulation concerning divorce. To be fair, it may not just be due to ignorance of divorce law, as often divorce cases are depicted on TV and in movies as having more legal wrangling than most ever are in reality. So, to clear up some of the confusion, here are 10 myths relating to divorce and separation.

Assets Are Always Divided 50/50: The division of assets within a property settlement must be fair but that does mean that everything is given a value, and each party receives half. It should be based on fairness and future needs, including the care of any children.

Divorces Are Always Settled In Court: Whilst a court will grant the final divorce via consent orders, if the couple has agreed to all financial matters and those relating to their children, then the case is not heard in a courtroom.

Dental Anxiety

Just the thought of visiting the dentist is enough to create feelings of fear and anxiety in people throughout the world. For some reason, dentists have a reputation for being cold, rough and uncaring. Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Sure, some dentists are probably a little bit rough, and they might be intimidating or scary – especially to young children – but in reality, the vast majority are highly skilled health professionals who are both gentle and careful.

Even if you accept this, you still may suffer from dental anxiety. Visiting the dentist may be a difficult, harrowing experience for you, and one which you continually put off. Our top 5 tips for overcoming dental anxiety include:

  1. Accept Your Fear

One of the first steps to overcoming any fear or phobia is accepting that you have a problem. If you suffer from fear of dentists or dental anxiety, you need to accept that you have a problem, think about why you have a problem and start working towards overcoming it.

  1. See A Psychologist

If you continue to suffer from dental anxiety, even after you have identified and accepted your problem, you may have deeper psychological problems. If your anxiety is preventing you from receiving the dental care and attention that you need, then you should consider seeing a psychologist to help you work through it.

Why Your Investment In Dental Implants Will Be Worth It

Posted on

Whenever someone starts looking at the option of dental implants as the solution to their missing or damaged teeth, they can often be surprised by the size of the initial investment which is necessary. Depending on the number of implants and the type chosen, it can be an outlay that runs to tens of thousands of dollars.

We are going to look at why that size of investment can be justified, with respect to what you get in return for it. This is not measured simply with respect to the actual implants themselves and the treatment, but also with regards to the benefits which dental implants offer you.

Lower Longer-Term Costs

One way in which an initially high investment often becomes lower is over a longer period of time. With regards to dental implants, the amount of care they require is minimal provided that you maintain good oral hygiene. This means there are no costly solutions that you need to buy in order to maintain them.

5 Tips For Marketing To Your Strengths

Posted on
Online Marketing

Online marketing for law firms and lawyers has become something of a topic of discussion among marketing consultants in recent years. Law firm marketing can be quite expensive, and this often prevents small or start-up firms from making the most of their marketing budgets.

Slinky Digital advise that instead of throwing money at digital marketing blindly, you should think carefully to make sure that you are getting the most value out of your efforts. You need to market to your strengths, and the following 5 tips should help you do just that:

  1. Employ Someone To Do The Things You Can’t

Instead of wasting a lot of time and money learning a new skill – such as coding or video editing – that you are going to use very rarely, be smart about it and pay someone to do the things that you can’t. Sure, you might be on a tight budget, but the time you would spend doing something you don’t know how to do would be much better spent elsewhere.

  1. Focus On The Things You Can Do Well

If you have experience in some aspects of digital marketing, focus on them for your law firm. Just because SEO, AdWords, and social media marketing exist – among others – doesn’t mean that you have to use them all. For example, if you’re good at and enjoy Financial Planning or writing, focus on content marketing, and share this content on your social media platforms.

Why Relocating Your Children After Divorce Is Not Always Straightforward

Why Relocating Your Children After Divorce Is Not Always Straightforward

When the parents of children divorce, or separate when in a de facto relationship, there are many aspects of the children’s lives that need to be agreed upon. This will often be done with the support and representation of expert family lawyers from www.robertsonhayles.com.au, and ultimately any agreement will be sanctioned by the family court.

If no agreement can be found however, the court, having heard from both parties, will decide the way forward. It does so via a family order which will normally relate to which parent they will live with, what the other parent’s visitation arrangements are, and assuming the court has no information which precludes it, it will rule that joint parental responsibility applies.

In any decision, the court will always have as its most important priority the welfare and best interests of the children. This applies regardless of whether or not the two parents are on speaking terms, or generally amicable to each other. In other words, the court is not concerned with how much either parent thinks the other should not have responsibility or visitation for example.

The court will also most likely be required when one of the parents, usually the one with whom the children live, wishes to relocate to another town, city, or state. Now, in some cases, they might just be doing this to spite the other parent, but this is rare.

How to Make Your Bed and Breakfast Business More User Friendly

Bed and Breakfast Business

Providing breakfast in the garden is a unique way to make your B&B more user friendly. Outside furniture in a nook amongst the garden greenery is an ideal place to serve breakfast on a warm summer day.

Many people start up a bed & breakfast accommodation business when they have a nice home with plenty of spare bedrooms.  They get a website designed to show off their property. The smart ones will then get some SEO done on their website to get it ranking high on Google when potential guests search for accommodation online.

People often prefer to stay at a B&B because they can talk to the local person and get more personalised knowledge of the area they are passing through. They can often find out about hidden treasures that are not on any tourist map or advertised widely enough for everyone to know about them.

Some people arrive at such accommodation late in the evening, often after the evening meal eaten elsewhere and they go early in the morning after a quick breakfast. Others like to linger a little longer to enjoy the scenery or a chat with their hostess.  If you have a B&B business, you can make your guests’ stay more enjoyable by adding an outdoor setting to the garden for them to sit and relax, or even have their breakfast at.

Fitness Types for Wearing Your Waist Trainer 

When you buy waist trainers designed for use while exercising, you might be wondering which exercises, sports, and fitness types are going to be suitable. After all, since they can restrict your movement, not all activities are going to be okay.

Read on to learn about the best exercise types to do while wearing your new, high-quality waist trainer.

Strength Training

A huge part of getting fit and losing weight is strength and resistance training. This form of exercise allows you to strengthen your muscles while burning fat at the same time. Typically, this type of activity is not one that makes you sweat a lot. However, if you wear a waist trainer designed for fitness use, then that problem is solved.

Thanks to the combination of latex, cotton, and spandex, you can turn a moderate workout into a high-intensity one that may even produce better results.

You can use your own bodyweight as a form of resistance, or you can rely on weights. If you’re not sure what type of strength training is right for you, talk to a trained fitness instructor.

Nets and Their Many Uses

If you were to ask 100 people to name a type of net, given that recently we seem to be living much of our lives online, we are sure a large percentage would say the internet! Joking aside, it is likely that even if they were told we meant the type of nets you can get from specialist netting suppliers, many would struggle to go beyond ‘fishing’ and we dare say some might even say ‘curtains’.

The fact is, if you were to sit down and list every type of net you could think of you would likely end up with quite a long list, and that list would extend further if you were to include all the ways in which a net can be used. This is due to the fact that whilst a net might have been produced for a specific use, the versatility that is inherent in a net means it could be used for other reasons.

We are sure that netting which was designed for use as a pet enclosure has been used to secure the items in the back of a pickup, and also many a discarded fishing net, has been commandeered and strung up in a garden for children to climb and play on. Not that there is anything wrong with either of these changes in use nor indeed using any net for a different purpose than its original one, provided that it is done safely.

Many people love to swim and surf, but there are also other things to see and do and it would be a shame to visit another country without seeing at least some of the sights.

Just like Bali is famous for its beaches, luxury villas, beautiful beachside hotels etc. Schedule all those things that interest you into your trip so you don’t miss them.

So what can you do? Here are some tips to make the most of your holidays.

  • Visit museums, art galleries, theatres, and wildlife parks/zoos.
  • Take a tour to visit natural sites such as waterfalls, cliffs, geysers, rivers and other beauty spots.
  • Ride on a tram, a helicopter, an elephant, an emu, a horse and buggy or go in a hot-air balloon. See all the city offers.
  • On the beach you can sunbake, but also swim, ride a jet ski or go in a jet boat with others, go on a ferry or boat tour, snorkel to see the fish or coral.
  • If you are young, strong and adventurous you may want to try some of those way-out activities such as dune surfing, wind surfing, abseiling, caving or climbing.
  • Go shopping, but don’t get ripped off. And remember you have to carry it home or pay freight to have it sent.

Suspended Sentences And What They Mean For The Offender

Suspended Sentences And What They Mean For The Offender

Whenever someone has been convicted of a crime, one of the primary questions they will have for their criminal lawyer at Perth Criminal Lawyers, is what punishment they are likely to receive. Obviously, this will depend on a number of factors such as the severity of the crime and their previous criminal record if they have one.

The most commonly known penalties are fines, community orders, and imprisonment, but there are others, and these fall under the category of suspended sentences.

The correct term for them is ‘Suspended Imprisonment Order’, and they basically mean that the offender has been given an imprisonment sentence for their crime, but do not actually have to go to prison. It should be noted that in many Australian states, suspended sentences are not used, however, in Western Australia, they do still exist.

The law is clear when, and when not, it might be appropriate for a suspended sentence to be issued. Should the crime have occurred whilst the offender was already serving a prison sentence, or where they were on parole or other early release order, a suspended sentence cannot be issued.

If the offence would normally mean a prison sentence of fewer than 5 years, or where it is deemed that imprisoning the offender would not be appropriate, a suspended sentence can be considered.

Simple Steps To Environmentally Friendly Landscaping

Environmentally Friendly Landscaping

There is no escaping the fact that everything we do these days is often measured with regards to how environmentally friendly it is, and Lone Pine Landscapes told us that applies as much to landscaping as any other activity.

Now, you might think that landscaping being so closely related to the natural world that everything about it would be environmentally friendly, but that is not the case.

We need to consider the use of materials in the creation of certain features, how the water and drainage system is configured, and to what extent any landscaping design is sustainable without the need for an excessive amount of chemicals. Landscape Designers Perth say there are these, and plenty of other aspects of our landscaping design where we may or may not be doing what is best for the environment.

Whilst we cannot cover every single aspect of landscaping with regards to being environmentally friendly (that would take a whole book), we can give you pointers to some easy wins. These can be included in a new landscaping project or added to one which already exists to make it ‘greener’, and that is not a reference to what colour your plants are.

The first way you can improve your landscape garden’s green credentials is with regards to the plants you actually include. You may not be aware of this but using plants that are native to the area you live in means less threat of other species of plants causing an infestation. This also reduces the need for chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides, which is always welcome.

You can also choose plants that are more conducive to soil retention due to the fact that they require less water, and actually promote water filtration. This leads to the soil within your landscaped area being healthier, it retaining a higher level of organic material, and thus the plants that grow there will be healthier too.

When it comes to the environment, there are few more precious resources than water, and where we can conserve water, regardless of which part of the world we are in, makes a difference.

Security Alarm at Home

In Australia, just 30% of people use some sort of security alarm to protect their property against burglars and other intruders. In many cases, this is because of the restrictive cost of installing a security system. However, in other cases, people simply don’t feel that they need any sort of home security.

In the rest of this article, we’ve explored the pros and cons of having a security system in an attempt to help you decide whether or not you need one. If not used correctly, security systems can be useless. For some people, they are too expensive, and for others, simply not necessary.

The benefits of installing and using a home security system are vast. Although they cost upwards of $300-$400 for even the most basic system, it’s often worth paying this money if you can afford it. Some of the main benefits include:

  • They will help you secure your home against burglars and other intruders, protecting you, your family and any valuable belongings you have.
  • They will help you rest easier with the knowledge that you will be notified if someone enters your property unexpectedly.
  • In many cases, they can lower your insurance premiums, which in itself can make it worth installing some form of security system.

Are There Any Disadvantages of LASIK Laser Eye Surgery?

Posted on
Laser Eye Surgery

Although generally a very safe procedure, there are a few potential disadvantages associated with LASIK laser eye surgery. These can be caused by the surgery itself, by poor eye care after the surgery or by underlying problems which can complicate recovery.

Before we jump into the disadvantages, it’s important to define exactly what LASIK (laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis) is. Basically, it involves a two step process designed to correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism.

First, a flap of the cornea (front of the eye) is peeled back to reveal the tissue underneath. Using a laser especially made for laser eye surgery – the surgeon will then remove some of this tissue to correct your vision problems. Results are usually immediate, and recovery is fast.

But as we’ve said, there are a few disadvantages you should be aware of. These include:

Cornea Flap Complications

Since LASIK surgery involves peeling back a flap of your cornea, there are a few risks of problems occurring. This is mainly due to the fact that the flap is extremely delicate, and any of the following can happen: (more…)

Benefits of Getting Dentures

No one ever sets out to lose their natural teeth. However, through gum disease, poor oral care techniques, infrequent visits to your dentist, accidents, and trauma, millions of people no longer have theirs. What’s more, by 2020, there will be over 37 million people with full sets of dentures.

There has to be a reason why so many people would choose partial or full denture sets over keeping their few remaining teeth or trying other options. Dental Implants or Dentures are one of many possibilities, but they have a significant number of benefits which may be enough to sway you. Here are a few of those below.

Eat the Food You Love

Many people think they’re getting along just fine with no teeth left – or only a few. However, it’s not until they try to eat the food they previously could with teeth that they realise it’s not easy. Without teeth, you can say goodbye to eating hard foods, and there’s also no chance of being able to chew meat sufficiently too. However, if you see your dentist about dentures, you will find out that dentures come with few limitations.

You can bite and chew with far more efficacy than only having a few natural teeth, and there are not that many things you wouldn’t be able to eat with false teeth either. (more…)

Choosing The Right Mechanic For Your Next Vehicle Service

Right Mechanic

If you own a luxury vehicle, then you need to make sure that you’re getting it serviced by a highly skilled, qualified mechanic. Most mechanics claim to have the skills they need to perform things like a Mercedes Benz service, but the simple truth is that most of them don’t.

Using a mechanic without experience working with and servicing luxury cars can lead to a range of problems, including a poorly done job which can negatively impact your vehicle’s performance. It’s therefore very important to think carefully about the mechanic that you’re going to choose for your car’s next service. Consider the following:

Find A Mechanic That Specialises In Your Type Of Car

Different cars are very different. Most mechanics will claim to be able to work on any vehicle, and they probably will be able to. However, finding someone who’s familiar with the intricacies of vehicles like yours will help make sure that your next service is completed to the highest quality standards.

If you’ve got a luxury vehicle like a Mercedes or a BMW, you should look for a mechanic that specialises in luxury vehicles. Sure, you might have to pay a little bit more for their expertise, but it’ll be worth it – trust me.

Meditation

While meditation is not something you can buy in the supermarket, it’s an often-effective natural hair care solution that won’t cost you a cent. Instead, it helps you to reduce stress which, in turn, reduces the instance of an itchy scalp. Meditation is also an excellent coping mechanism, helping you to think of anything else, rather than your itchy scalp.
