5 Reasons To Work Online And Travel

The World is your office - Let me explain, science proves that travel is the secret to happiness. Not a shocking revelation I admit but still people get paid to study this stuff. A recent report from Cornell University found that spending your hard earned cash on an "experience" rather than "material objects" brings you lasting happiness.
If traveling makes you smarter and happier then why are we sitting at our desks planning the next escape.
More and more people are becoming aware of the saying "Laptop Lifestyle" but what does it really mean?..to me it means being able to work when you want and from where you want. Wouldn't we all love to wake up each morning with a passion for life, excitement for our business, a driving desire to see and experience the world, learn about new cultures and embark on exciting adventures.
5 Reasons To Work Online And Travel - Explained..
1. You have the freedom to work from anywhere that has WiFi.
You just have to find a strong connection and get working. In today's world, communicating around the globe has never been easier because of apps like SkypeFacebook, and WhatsApp.
Not only does this help you stay in touch with friends back home, but it also allows you to quickly and efficiently work remotely with clients. Google Hangouts allows you to discuss a new project or video chat via Skype for a "personal" meeting.
2. Your client pool is the world itself.
The world is now your client pool. With the click of a button, you can expand your reach and access clients around the globe. There are now 1 billion people on Facebook every day, someone somewhere will need or want your product.
The possibilities are truly endless you just need vision and an entrepreneurial spirit.
3. You have the flexibility to travel anywhere you want when you want.
Because your work isn't dependent on a physical location, you can book trips to your favorite place on earth without having to run it past your boss, arrange cover with your co-workers. You are the boss, you dictate your hours and terms of work!
As long as your clients are happy, you don't have to request time off to head out on your next adventure.
With your laptop in hand, your "office" possibilities are endless.
4. Your business expenses are minimal.
Running an online business means you have minimal overheads compared to running a large brick-and-mortar business.
All you need is your laptop and, depending on your industry, a few key tools to be in business. Working with an Affiliate partner is one of the easiest ways to start an Online business especially if like me you do not have your own product to sell. With an Affiliate marketing business, you advertise and sell other people's products earning a commission as you go.
5. Changing your environment will increase your productivity.
It's no secret that a "change is better than a rest" allowing ourselves to challenge our thinking, raise our productivity and reduce procrastination can only be good for us. Switching 8 hours of artificial light for the sunshine will boost your creativity, give you a new perspective and re-energize your workflow.
Working online gives you the luxury to choose your working environment daily.
If you've been thinking about ditching your day job to globe trot around the world (all while making money online), the above reasons will finally lead you to purchase your one-way ticket to freedom.

Unique Ingredients That Can Make Your Coffee More Flavorful

Most of the world’s population today rely on coffee to jumpstart their mornings. Since coffee has long been proven to improve one’s state of mind, athletic performance, and keep us active all day long. Coffee has even a lot of health benefits! So, whether you are just staying at home or you’re going to the office, always drink a cup of joe before starting your day. And if you are quite in a hurry, you can always take it along with by placing it in a handy container like stainless steel water bottles or even tumblers.
To make your coffee exciting, here are four ingredients that you can add to it:
Cinnamon
A dash of cinnamon in your coffee can make your favorite drink tastier and yummier, but aside from that, it can also make it healthier. Cinnamon is known to help relieve pain, lose weight, and make you feel good. This spice can also help control blood sugar and stimulate brain function. Instead of sugar, use this spice instead to sweeten your cup of joe.
Avocado
Adding avocado to your drink may sound quite weird but a lot of medical experts are actually encouraging coffee lovers to do this because of the many health benefits that it can give you. Avocado is known to be a good source of butter and coconut oil, but aside from that, adding even just one scoop of it in your cup can make your hot beverage more exciting and interesting to consume.
Orange Zest Peel
If you want a twist in your usual bitter drink, you might consider adding a dash of orange zest peel. Rich in Vitamins A, B-complex, and C, antioxidants, selenium, calcium, and zinc, you’re certainly making your coffee even more beneficial and healthy. But just to be sure, always sure that you are using organic oranges to avoid toxins such as pesticides which are usually sprayed on fruits’ peels.
Vanilla Extract
A study has revealed that coffee is the biggest source of antioxidants, but if you add too much sugar and other artificial sweeteners on it, you are actually reversing its many health benefits. So, instead of sugar, use vanilla extract to make your drink more aromatic. Aside from vanilla extract, you might also consider using other natural sweeteners such as cinnamon and honey.
Maximize your cup of joe’s health benefits! Add one of these ingredients in your coffee for an exciting and flavorful. Have a great day!
I am a lover of life, history, and every little thing that makes life more exciting and meaningful to live.

Life Is an Experience

Eighteen years feel like an eternity. When you are twenty, forty sounds ancient. By the time the kids are grown, fifty feels very liberating. Before you know it, there are weddings and baby showers. All the struggle from the past calms down. There are new challenges as we age with health and caring for elderly parents but somehow, we handle it with grace.
I've never had a sister but my childhood friend feels like one. We've gone though many of the same struggles at the same time.
I can hardly wait to pass on what life's experiences have taught me to younger women. The Bible does say for older women to teach the younger women. However, depending on which version you get, this can be helpful or discouraging. I promise, you will not get the pat answer version from me. Our conversations are better one on one and very real.
There were a few wonderful things that other women did for me that I want to pay forward. I don't have money. I do get chatty but I have a good heart and truly care. My words are not those of an official capacity but they are ones straight from life.
To my sisterhood of unmet friends I offer these words of encouragement free of charge. Your life counts. God does not cause bad things to happen but he will turn them around so you can help others if you will let him. The events you didn't think counted on a resume do. Over the course of about twenty to thirty years, when you look back, you will see how what seemed like random occurrences can fit together.
Each of us has had different experiences but we can choose to help another. There will be times when you fall. Some are not able to get back up. You are not forgotten. Those who do rise above can lift the others up.
Here are the random paths in my journey that came together. Take a victim of crime, divorced mom on welfare, fired from being a kindergarten aide for not spelling pumpkin correctly (I know how to spell it now), judged by a few people even though they didn't know I taught Sunday School and sang in the choir and let God do his work.
Take that same young woman, put her through Bible School and college. She wants to be a famous singer but God has other plans. Make her a crisis specialist, teacher, director, speaker and Parole Officer. Figure out how to put it on a resume and the guts to speak her mind in an interview. She raised her kids and guess what, they turned out fine.
Your story will have twists and turns as well. You get to decide how it ends. Grab a cup of tea and let the conversation begin

Health Equals Wealth

How you prioritize your health is the secret to long lasting wellness and overall quality of life. Do not sacrifice comfort for price when you buy workout gear such as shoes and proper breathable workout clothing. Just as you would buy your favorite pair of expensive jeans or t-shirts, do the same for your workout gear. Proper workout clothing and sneakers is one of the staples in the gym.
Not only should you consider more expensive workout apparel, improve your quality of sleep by investing in a better mattress. When you have been sleeping on the same old spring filled mattress for 10 plus years, it’s time to get a new one. Good sleep is paramount to health and wellness and is key to whether you’ll have a good or bad day. It’s only logical you’ll perform better on daily activities as well as the work place when you get a full 7-8 hours of sleep when you have the proper mattress in your home. Sure it might save money if you look to get that free mattress offered on Craigslist, but when you do, you are sacrificing your sleep patterns in the long run. As well as the chance of catching bed bugs! Don’t buy cheap, buy big. Don’t forget about buying the right pillow.
If you’re female, experiment with purchasing chemical free beauty organic and cleaning products. You’ll love yourself more for it big time. Buying cheaper health skin care products will be more detrimental to your skin as you do not know what kinds of chemicals are in these products. When you take the time to prioritize what you’re wearing in the gym and on your skin, and what kind of bed you are sleeping at home, you are increasing the wealth of your health!
Another tip in increasing your success for better quality of life is prepping your meals for the day. Load up on groceries on the weekends, and prep your food the day before. You don’t have to be a bodybuilder to do so as when you have all your meals ready for the day, you aren’t racing out the door to the nearest fast food joint to feed your hunger. When you eat out majority of the time, the costs add up towards the end of the month. Sure you might think buying a $150 worth of groceries for the week might be pricey, but look at what you spend on lower quality foods such as fast food restaurants. Invest in the time to cook your meals before hand, and you’ll save money over time.
