It really has a therapeutic effect on us.

Thinking about upcoming New Year?

For many of us it starts with new resolutions.

We give ourselves a bunch of promises like: I am going to lose weight and eat healthier… I am going to save money… etc.

Sounds familiar?

But how often do we actually keep those promises and for how long?

Our new year’s resolutions regarding personal finance as well as our health should be of a high priority to us.

If you really want to make some important financial resolutions, I would suggest putting them in writing with the steps on how to accomplish them with specific deadlines. Read the full article…»

Christmas is a big holiday not only in the United States, but also in European countries, and in other parts of the world as well.

Costa-Ricans, for example, make the huge models of the stable, where the Christ was born, and they are often made them as big as a room, where they are kept, so that the Christ can be as comfortable as possible in His Manger. Read the full article…»

We all need money before and after the holidays, but sometimes we don’t realize that we actually have more money than we think.

Successful personal finance starts with an occasional evaluation of what we have, and what we need and don’t need.

If you go through your closets – you don’t need to wait for spring cleaning to do that – you can find quite a few things that you do not need and can sell or donate for tax deductions.

And the best time to do it – at the end of the year.

Would you not like to get a bigger tax return in April because you made some donations at the end of the year? I bet you would!

Here are My Five No-Brainer Ways to Make Money I came up with that helped me to get a good chunk of cash while I was not working for a while. Read the full article…»

HOLIDAY EATING TIPS

1. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It is quite rare.

You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has only 8,000 calories in every sip?

It’s not as if you are going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It’s a treat. Enjoy it! Have one for me. Have two. Read the full article…»

If you are thinking of touring amazing Devon you should look into cheap car hire and any money you save can be used to experience a real 1930’s “house party” in one of the most romantic hotels in the world.

Any visit to Burgh Island in Bigbury Bay, on the south coast, 18 miles south east of Plymouth is a wonderful treat, just for the natural beauty of the area.

But topping the visit with a stay at the famous Burgh Island Hotel is what dreams are made of. Read the full article…»

Do you have a dull and dry skin that feels tight and painful?

You can spend thousands of dollars on beauty products, stick to a strict organic skincare regime and do yoga every morning – but you will still get bad skin if you are dehydrated.

Water keeps toxins flushing on out of your body, and it also helps carry nutrients to wherever they are needed.

We all saw those adverts telling us to drink 8 glasses of water a day, and perhaps, felt a bit bored at the thought of doing it.
