A quote of the day :

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want. Everything else is secondary.

 

Steve Jobs

Eat smart !

    Let’s start- aim for about 2 cups of fruit a day.  This, by the way, is the same as the recommendation you sometimes hear to eat 4 servings of fruit a day-that’s based on ½ cup servings.  This guideline is for an average-sized person, eating about 2,000 calories a day. If you’re on the small side or you need to watch your calories, cut back to 1 or 1 ½ cups a day. If you’re very active, you may be able to increase it to 3 cups a day.   A cup is about the size of your fist.  An average-size apple, orange, or banana would count as a cup. For maximum nutrition and health, fresh fruits are your best choice.  

    Go for variety.  Because different types of fruits feature different nutrient profiles, your best bet is to eat a wide variety of fruit.  Always start with whatever is local and in season where you live.

    Watch the portion sizes on dried fruit.   Portion sizes are different for dried fruit than for fresh fruit. A quarter cup of raisins or a third of a cup of dried apricots, prunes, or apple slices is equal to one cup of fresh fruit.

    Eat fruit instead of sweets.  Most diet plans include a small number of discretionary calories. It’s often about 15% of your total calories. So, if you eat about 2,000 calories a day, you get 200 or so to spend on whatever you want.  You can spend it on a chocolate cookie or a glass of wine. 

LOVE is all we need !

Somewhere there’s someone who dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worth while, so when you are lonely, remember this is true: Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you ! ! ! !

Kitchen Islands –choosing the best!

A lot of life happens in the kitchen. Don’t you think so?! No matter how different our lifestyles may be, a lot of activity revolves around the kitchen.

That’s why kitchen islands designs have become one of the most requested features for home buyers when searching for a new home

A movable kitchen island adds versatility.Use it!

A movable kitchen island offers more room when you and your friends want to cook a huge meal and each person takes a section of the kitchen to prepare. Once your meal is complete, roll your kitchen island out of the way for added space.  Movable kitchens are ideal for smaller kitchens

An island adds storage area

If your kitchen is lacking storage areas, a kitchen island may solve your problem.  With the option of additional drawers, pull out shelves, and cabinets, the island is an extension to your existing casework.

A kitchen island is perfect for kids

Yes, it is! Whether it is homework time or they pitch in to help make dinner, a kitchen island is a great place for kids to feel part of the action and be in close eye view. 

Kitchen islands work well in U-shape and L-shape kitchens because they shorten the distance between work centers and direct traffic outside the work core. Islands also add aesthetic effect that can change the whole appearance of every kitchen

Love is...

If you have  love, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.

Sir James M. Barrie

There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.

Francois de La Rouchefoucauld

About Happiness

Only you are responsible for your Happiness . And no matter what challenges you face, you can always choose to assume the best. As Paulo Coelho reminds us in The Alchemist, “The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.” Just try it for a week: assume the best, and feel the abundance of joy that comes as a result of seeing more. Love yourself, love your day, love your life!

We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, God gives us the sun and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. 

But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that moment exists- a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles !
