Planning A Safe BBQ Party

tabbyspantry

The BBQ season has officially begun! Yet, before you send out the first invitations to your garden grill party, it’s essential to make sure the space is safe for everyone. Indeed, the typical BBQ gathering happens mostly outdoor. So, you need to consider potential risks in your garden and ensure you can keep these at bay:

  • Burns
  • Excessive sun exposure
  • Pests
  • Toxic plants
  • Dehydration

Getting familiar with the grill

The main actor in your BBQ party is the BBQ itself. So, if you are collecting delicious marinade recipes and tips on how to grill corn on the cob, make sure as well to learn how to use the grill safely. Too many burning accidents occur during grilling parties as people don’t know how to safely start and maintain a fire. Make safety a priority!

 

Don’t stay outdoor without sun protection

It takes no longer than 20 minutes to catch a sunburn. The spring months may be less hot than summer, but it doesn’t mean it’s safe to stay in the sun without sunscreen protection. It may be a good idea to keep a basket with sunscreen lotion by the BBQ table. Ideally, you want to pick SPF 30 protection for the exposed skin on your face, arms, and hands, which is what most dermatologists recommend as the minimum protection. 

Remember as well to reapply regularly during the day. Wearing a hat and long sleeves doesn’t replace sunscreen protection. 

You will also need a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes. 

 

Remove garden pests

Garden pests can turn your BBQ party into a nightmare. So, before inviting everyone to come to your outdoor gathering, it’s a good idea to check your garden for bugs, insects, and other unpleasant critters. These could affect your family and visitors in many ways. They could sting and lead to discomfort or even allergic reactions. They could also disrupt the party by flying over and invading the table and food. If you are worried about pest infestation, it may be safer to plan for removal before organizing the party. 

 

Avoid toxic plants

Young children and pets are likely to play in the garden. They may touch or even eat poisonous plants without knowing it. It’s important to create a safe environment for younger guests and animals to ensure that your garden party can be a success. Some of the plants to avoid include: 

  • Daffodil
  • Water hemlock
  • Hydrangea
  • Monkshood
  • Philodendron
  • Lily-of-the-valley

 

Stay hydrated

It’s tough to stay hydrated when you are having fun outside! Younger guests, especially, and pets, are most likely to get dehydrated in the sun as they play and enjoy the warm weather. If you have dogs and cats, you may want to keep a bowl of fresh water outside, preferably in the shade. 

As for children, make sure to refill their glasses frequently. You can even make water more exciting to drink with flavored water and fun-looking ice cubes. 

 

Are you ready to plan the first BBQ party of the year? Keep your guests and loved ones safe with these few safety tips. And remember to have fun and enjoy the day together! 

 

It’s Spring! Here is Your Spring Cleaning Check List

tabbyspantry

Spring cleaning is more than just a tradition – it’s a necessary ritual for keeping your home clean and healthy. By dedicating some time to spring cleaning, you can get rid of all the dirt, dust, and grime built up over the winter. As a result, your home will look and feel better, but you’ll also be protecting your family from harmful allergens and bacteria.

 

There are many different ways to go about spring cleaning your home. The best approach depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here are a few tips to get you started:

 

1. Clean your windows inside and out

Windows are a great way to let natural light into your home and give you a view of the outdoors, but they can get dirty over time. This makes your windows look bad, and it can also affect your home’s energy efficiency.

 

Window cleaning is a simple task that can be done with a few basic supplies, but it’s important to clean both the inside and outside of your windows to get the best results. 

 

2. Clean your baseboards, doors, and trim

Cleaning your baseboards, doors, and trim is important for spring cleaning. It will help your home look cleaner, but it will also help to protect your health.

 

Baseboards, doors, and trim are often forgotten when it comes to cleaning, but they can be some of the dirtiest places in your home. They can collect dust, pet hair, and other allergens. By cleaning them regularly, you can minimize the amount of allergens in your home and improve your air quality.

 

3. Vacuum your furniture, carpets, and rugs

 

Carpets, furniture, and rugs can all collect dust and dirt over time, which can cause allergies and other health problems. So spring is a great time to clean all your indoor surfaces and eliminate any allergens and dust mites.

 

Cleaning your carpets, furniture, and rugs is also a great way to protect your investment. Vacuuming removes the dirt and dust that can damage fibers over time. It’s also good to have your carpets and furniture professionally cleaned at least once a year.

 

4. Dust your blinds, fans, and light fixtures

Dusting your blinds, fans, and light fixtures is an important part of spring cleaning because it helps remove the built-up dust and dirt that can cause allergies and other respiratory problems. It’s also an excellent way to eliminate any spiders or cobwebs that may have formed over the winter.

 

To dust your blinds, start by removing the blinds from the window and laying them down on a clean surface. Use a vacuum cleaner with the upholstery attachment to remove the dust from the blinds, then use a damp cloth to wipe them clean. Be sure to let them dry.

 

5. Polish your furniture

 

Polished furniture is one item you may want to avoid during your spring clean. While it may look and feel great when freshly polished, it will not last long. The wax and polish used to give the furniture its shine will wear off over time, and it will start to look dull again. However, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. It just depends on the type of polish you use.

 

If you have some furniture that needs a fresh shine, give it a quick polish with a cloth and some furniture oil. This will make it look better, but it will also help protect the wood from moisture and sun damage.

 

6. Wipe down your kitchen counters and appliances

It’s that time of year again to break out the rubber gloves and 409 and give your kitchen a good scrubbing. But why do we always focus on the floors and the cabinets and forget about the counters and appliances?

 

Well, for one, wiping down your kitchen counters and appliances is a great way to get rid of any bacteria or dirt that may have built up over the winter. And, two, it’s a great way to give your kitchen a fresh start for the spring. So break out the supplies and give your kitchen a good cleaning!

 

7. Clean your stovetop and oven

Spring cleaning is oven and stovetop cleaning. It’s essential to do this because they get dirty over time but can also be dangerous if not cleaned regularly. For example, baked-on grease and food residue can cause a fire. In addition to being a fire hazard, dirty ovens and stovetops can lead to decreased efficiency and increased energy bills.

 

Cleaning your oven and stovetop when you spring clean is an excellent way to ensure that they are both safe and efficient. It is best to clean your oven and stovetop when they are still warm from use, as this makes the job easier.

8. Scrub your bathroom tile and grout

Tile and grout are notorious for collecting dirt and dust. This makes your bathroom look dirty, but it can also be a health hazard. Bacteria and mold can grow in the nooks and crannies of tile and grout, which can cause respiratory problems.

 

The best way to clean tile and grout is to use a scrub brush and elbow grease. However, this can be a time-consuming task. If you want to save time, you can use a tile and grout cleaner to get the job done quickly, especially if you have the idea of a bathroom remodel in place. 

 

9. Shampoo your carpets

Shampooing your carpets may seem unnecessary when doing a deep spring clean, but it’s one of the most important. Shampooing gets rid of all the dirt and dust that’s built up over time, but it also refreshes your carpet’s color and smell.

 

Shampooing is a quick and easy way to give your carpets a major overhaul, and it only takes a few minutes to do. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper than hiring a professional carpet cleaner. So don’t skip this task.

 

What Can You Do To Make Your Business Rise On The Market

tabbyspantry

What is going wrong in your business right now? Is there something wrong? Is it just a slow time? You need to find the answers that you are looking for and start working out what you can do in order to make your business rise. It might not be the easiest thing to do, and it’s often tough to admit that there is something wrong with your business at any given time, but it’s necessary to be able to move forward. In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that you can do to make your business rise, so keep reading down below if you would like to find out more.

Pinpoint The Issue

 

The first thing that you are going to need to do is pinpoint the issue. Once you have found out what the problem is, you can start working on ways to sort this out. Then, as another problem pops up, you can deal with it. But, to be able to do this you have got to be highly critical of your business and this doesn’t come easily to a lot of people. The main reason for this is because you put everything that you have into it, and sometimes hearing that this isn’t enough right now is difficult. But, if you want there to still be a business, you need to do it.

 

If you don’t think that you will be able to pinpoint the issue on your own, then we recommend you hire someone else to do this for you. Ideally, this will be someone outside the business who doesn’t know much about it. An outside perspective is likely exactly what you need to figure out what the problem is, so don’t hesitate to do this.

 

Hire More Staff

It might be the case that you don’t have enough staff to cover the demand that you are experiencing. One of the most important parts of a business is their customer service, and if yours is lacking because you don’t have the numbers to cover the demand, this is simply not good enough. As such, you need to start looking for new employees immediately. This does not mean that you should just hire anyone and everyone because you need to make up numbers, but it does mean that you should take a chance on some people even if they have no experience.

 

If you don’t want to go through the whole hiring process again, then you can always use a recruitment agency to help you. They will send you the people that they think are the best for the job.

 

Come Up With A Solid Plan

 

If you want to make your business rise through the ranks on the market, then you have got to have a solid plan. Look at your business as a whole and decide what needs to be done in order to improve overall. Make sure that you aren’t targeting single people or departments, but rather are extending the effort where it needs to go in order to ensure success. This is called a corrective action plan, and should be taken seriously by everyone in the business.

 

A lot of people think that a corrective action plan is a punishment or some kind of discipline for employees, but this is not the case at all. Instead, it seeks to help the business correct some of the things that are going wrong so that you can see better results. If you want some corrective action plan tips, there are plenty of sources online happy to give you some.

 

Outsource Certain Departments

Have you given much thought to outsourcing over your time as a business owner? A lot of owners have already gone down this route for a number of reasons, depending on what their situation was at the time. For example, one of the reasons that people choose to outsource is because it’s a cheaper option than hiring in-house staff. You only pay the outsourced company for the service that they provide, and the time it takes for them to provide it, rather than a salary.

 

It is also a more efficient way to run your business if you choose high-quality firms that complete their tasks well. You can check this by looking at reviews before you hire them, ensuring that you are getting what you are paying for.

 

Introduce A New Product Or Service

 

If you are in a slump at the moment, it may just be that people got a little bored of your business. Offering the same old things all of the time can get a little boring, so it might be time to change things up a little. We’re not saying that you should go all out and change the entire course of your business as this would be counterproductive for your business, but add something new. Think about the things you offer now, and then work out something that works well alongside it.

 

Take some time, call in some experts if you like, but you have got to come up with something. This is something fresh, it keeps your business current and in people’s minds so it’s well worth considering. Once you have got all of the details sorted and you’re ready to get started, you need to start marketing the life out of this new product or service.

 

Research Your Competition

It’s always important to know what your competition is doing. You should be looking at this maybe twice per month, so either conduct the research yourself or hire someone to do it for you and get a report done. The point is that you need to know what they are up to, what they are doing that is working, and what they are doing that is falling flat. You may be able to try some of their successful ideas for your own business, whale strategically avoiding those that didn’t work out so well.

 

Knowledge is power, and the more knowledge you have, the more powerful you become. When you have power, you have the means to take over the things that you want to see success in, which is why research is so important.

 

Communicate With Your Employees

 

The final thing that we are going to mention is that you should be communicating with your employees. Ask them what they think the problem is, ask them if there is anything more that you can do for them to aid them in their job, ask them if there is anything that they need, ask them if they are okay. These are all important questions that we guarantee the majority of people are not used to hearing from their bosses, but they should be.

 

Each and every single one of these questions is essential to the running of your business. Your business needs all of its employees to be healthy mentally so that they can work hard, and have everything that they need in order to succeed at their job. So, communicate with your employees, and make sure that they feel comfortable coming to you when they need to.

 

We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you can do to ensure that your business starts to rise on the market. It’s important that you are taking the correct steps to ensure that you are always on the right track with your business so that you can keep your numbers up high. If you want your business to soar, you’ve got to take the risks, and understand the criticisms as they come. We wish you the very best of luck and hope that you see the success that you are looking for sooner rather than later.

Giving Your Back A Little Extra Care As You Get Older

tabbyspantry

Wear and tear is all a natural part of the human process of aging. However, there are some parts of the body that take it a little rougher than the rest and, without the right care, can cause some bad pain. Given that back pain is the single leading cause of disability amongst adults, it should be clear that it can strike anyone, and that you need to do a little extra to keep your back healthy. Here are a few tips to do just that.

Keep your core strong

Gravity is the primary force that’s wearing down on your spine and your spine supports your body to effectively fight against it and keep you upright. However, you can support your back as well to make sure that your spine gets some backup, as well. Our core muscles are rarely used during our everyday activities. As such, you need to make sure that you’re putting effort into actively doing core exercises, which can strengthen your abs as well as the muscles in your back, which can then help support your spine. If you’re already feeling some back pain, core exercises are often recommended as a way to help relieve that pain, as well. Of course, exercise, in general, is highly recommended, and we’ll cover another reason that this is the case, next.

 

Consider your weight seriously

Unfortunately, there is a very strong correlation between being overweight and back pain. Your spine doesn’t grow to accommodate the extra weight. If you’re heavier, you’re putting more stress on it, which doesn’t make it strong like it would a muscle. As such, if you are overweight and you’re feeling back pain, there is a good chance that controlling your weight might be able to lead to some relief. Even if you do not feel very mobile, there are options for everyone to start making a difference in their activity levels, as well as their diet, that can make it easier to start gradually making progress towards a weight that isn’t as likely to stress your back.

 

Make sure that you’re sleeping right

Your choice of bed and mattress might have deeper health implications than you might think. When you sleep is supposed to be when your back muscles and spine have the opportunity to relax but if you’re not giving them the proper support, then that might not happen. Which kind of mattress is best suited to you will largely depend on the position that you sleep in. The most important factor, however, is that you’re getting the support that your spine means. If you’re a back sleeper, for instance, this means that you should be using a firm or medium-firm mattress. If you sleep on your back, you should also consider placing a pillow between your knees to make sure that your hips stay balanced, distributing your weight more evenly on your back.

 

See the doctor early

When it comes to your back, you really shouldn’t be taking any chances. When you start to feel any aching or other symptoms there, you should make sure that you’re looking for some professional advice. You might think that some types of back pain are nothing to worry about, perhaps just caused by lying in your bed wrong, but if you’re feeling a sore back that worsens while walking, after sleeping, or after sitting, it could be a sign of a herniated disc. The sooner that you get it treated, the better your chance of treating the degeneration of the back tissue before it leads to a much more painful disc prolapse.

 

Try to maintain your posture

It might sound like you’re being told off by a teacher or parent as a child if you’re told to sit up straight or stand up straight. However, there’s plenty of good reason to make sure that you’re not slouching too much in your daily life. If you slouch or are slightly bent over, it puts more pressure on certain parts of your back, which can lead to some of the early degeneration mentioned above. Try to maintain a good posture while standing, walking, and sitting. If you need some help, investing in an ergonomic chair might be able to help you manage it more easily.

 

You might not be able to stop the aging process and completely eliminate the chances that you will ever get back pain. However, if you take care of your body, you can make sure that you’re less likely to suffer the worst symptoms of wear and tear that can lead to debilitating pain.

Create A Free Google My Business Account

For local businesses, a Google Business Profile has become one of the most effective free marketing strategies there is. This allows your business to show up on Google Maps, the local section of Google Search, and the right-side Knowledge Panel for branded searches. 

 

In order for your Business Profile to show up higher on Google Maps or local results, you need to optimize it. To do this, you need to have verified ownership of it which is done through your Google My Business account. 

 

Post And Engage On Social Media

Increasing social media engagement and building a community online is a free way to grow your business while expressing your brand’s personality and building audience trust at the same time. Create accounts for your business and take part in sites like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and more. You can do this whenever you have a few minutes to spare. 

You can:

  • Promote your blog posts, which will drive traffic to your site
  • Talk to your followers to express your brand voice and create more engagement
  • Run polls and ask for feedback
  • Take excerpts from longer content and make quick, informational posts that are easier to digest
  • Advertise on video with OTT marketing (what is OTT?)

 

Whatever your motivation, make sure you are active and proactive on the accounts that you create. Be consistent, create community, collaborate, and be committed. 

 

Develop An Email Marketing Plan

Email marketing is a great way to get new visitors to engage with you as well as maintain relationships with your existing customers. Email marketing isn’t new, but it’s still one of the most reliable ways to achieve a strong return on your marketing investment. 

 

To do that, you should:

  • Put thought and creativity into your subject lines
  • Make sure every email has an offer that encourages your readers to take the next step
  • Track your performance and run A/B tests to see what copy and offers resonate with your list

 

Try some more easy email marketing ideas:

  • Get new website visitors to sign up for your newsletter by offering a bonus content piece or coupon/discount for subscribing 
  • Nurture your subscribers via email until they are ready to become paying customers
  • Start your promotional email campaigns with a free email marketing service

 

Host Classes and Events

Plan an event or a class, then print out some flyers and post them on community bulletin boards in the local library, coffee shop, college, and adult education center. Most community bulletin boards don’t allow businesses to advertise, but they will usually let you post a flyer that promotes an educational event or a class.  

 

If you can’t host an event, attend local events that would benefit your business. You never know where you might meet your next business partner or customer.

How To Improve Your Approach To Family Cooking

Whether you like it or not, family cooking plays a pivotal role in your daily life. Therefore, it is one aspect of your world where making suitable improvements will deliver a plethora of rewards. 

 

So, what are the best ways to address your family’s cooking activities to create a better situation for your family? Here’s all you need to know.

 

Make It More Affordable

 

Now more than ever, it’s imperative that your food bill becomes manageable. After all, energy prices and a host of other living costs have skyrocketed in recent months. This guide to affordable family eating covers a range of aspects. Whether it’s making smarter food choices or addressing the volume of food you purchase, the benefits can be incredible. 

 

When you no longer need to worry about the financial aspects of family cooking, you can spend more time enjoying it. For that reason, this should be your obvious starting point.

 

Go Healthier Without Losing Enjoyment

 

Every family should want to adopt healthier eating habits. Not least because obesity is one of the most common problems in modern society. However, this doesn’t mean you should fall into the trap of bland foods. Instead, recipes like naturally sweetened black bean brownies are your best friend. They focus on healthier trades that still promote tasty treats.

 

Reducing your refined sugars intake will work wonders for your family health. Achieve this without stopping your kids from having treats that they love for optimal results.

 

Make Food From Scratch

 

Cooking from scratch is a great solution for many reasons. It will have a positive influence on your budget while also making it easier to track what you eat. Better still, it is a great way to educate children about nutrition. It’s additionally a cheap way to spend time together. The memories you create will be the most rewarding factor of all.

 

If you are actively looking to spend more time together as a family, you’ll find that sharing mealtimes is also vital. You might not do it each day. But do it as often as possible.

 

Host Social Events

 

In addition to sharing mealtimes with your household members, you can extend this to other friends and relatives. Hosting a BBQ, for example, can be the perfect reason to spend more time together. It’s cheaper, more convenient, and more comfortable than heading out for a meal. It also adds a little versatility rather than always using the stove.

 

The key is to actively associate home cooking and family time with enjoyment. Once you achieve this outcome, your relationship with family cooking will greatly improve.

 

Be Flexible

 

Finally, a little versatility goes a long way to improving your approach to family cooking. Eating the same meals each week can get a little boring, even if they are beautiful dishes. Likewise, you should not feel restricted to rigid recipes. Feel free to mix things up by adding a new spice or creating side dishes. Allow yourself to be creative.

 

It’s a simple move that can make cooking far more enjoyable and engaging. In turn, it will become a far happier and natural part of your daily routines.

Looking for a unique gift to give your loved ones? Why not try making something yourself! Personalized gifts are always a hit, and they’re easy to make at home. This blog post will discuss seven different types of personalized gifts that you can make yourself.

1) Photo album: 

 

A photo album is a great way to preserve memories and share them with others. To make a personalized photo album, simply gather your favorite photos and arrange them in an album. You can add captions or handwritten notes to each photo to make the album even more special. 

 

To create a basic photo album, you’ll need: 

 

-A stack of photos

 

-An empty photo album

 

-Glue or double-sided tape

 

Begin by flipping through your stack of photos and choosing which ones you’d like to include in the album. Once you’ve selected your photos, it’s time to start placing them in the album. Begin by adding one photo to the album’s first page, then add another photo to the opposite page. Continue adding photos until all of your chosen photos have been used. Once you’re finished, close the album and admire your handiwork! There are endless possibilities when it comes to personalizing a photo album. You can get creative with the layout, add embellishments like stickers or ribbons, or even create a theme for the album. For example, you could make an “Our Favorite Moments” album that includes pictures from special occasions like birthdays and holidays. Or, you could make a “Family History” album that tells your family’s story through photos and captions. The sky’s the limit!

 

2) Customized mug: 

 

Who doesn’t love a good cup of coffee in the morning? If you know someone who can’t start their day without a cup of joe, then a customized mug would be the perfect gift! All you need to make a personalized mug is a white ceramic mug and some permanent markers. Next, decorate the mug with a design, pattern, or message of your choice. You could even include the person’s name or initials to really make it unique. Once you’re finished decorating the mug, bake it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes to set the design. 

 

3) Cook or bake:  

 

One of the best gifts you can give is your time, and what better way to show someone you care than by cooking or baking for them? Whether you’re whipping up their favorite dish or baking a batch of cookies, they’ll appreciate your effort in making something special just for them. If you’re not sure what to make, the apple curd recipe is a great option. This homemade apple curd can be used to top pies, tarts, or even pancakes! 

 

4) Personalized book: 

 

Books make great gifts, and you can make them even better by personalizing them! Simply choose a book that you know the recipient will love to create a personalized book. Once you’ve selected a book, use a permanent marker to write a message on the inside cover. You could also include the person’s name or initials to really make it memorable. If you want to go the extra mile, you could even decorate the book’s cover with stickers or ribbons. 

 

These are just a few ideas for personalized gifts that you can make at home. With a little bit of creativity, you can come up with endless possibilities! So get started today and show your loved ones how much you care.

“After 75 years of developing hand hygiene products, we know that formulation is vital when it comes to alcohol-based hand sanitizer – and I think consumers have realized, and experienced, that more than ever over the past two years,” says Dawn Yeomans, Ph.D., PURELL® hand hygiene expert. “While the percentage of alcohol is very important, the entire formulation is what impacts its performance and the user experience – and if both of these elements aren’t there, consumers won’t want to use the product. We formulated these foam hand sanitizers specifically for consumers, so they can have peace of mind that they kill the germs that can make them sick, while also enjoying the feel, smell, and ease of use.”
