Mistakes Home Sellers Make | April 20, 2011

So, you’ve read my other articles on home staging and taken them to heart. You’ve headed the warnings from your Realtor. You’ve watched so many HGTV shows you think its time you get your own. Great! Time to put the sign in the yard and start bringing home boxes and packing peanuts. Not so fast! Because you’ve tackled the big things like paint, updating appliances and moving out excess furniture you feel like your work is done. The ugly truth is your home is now in constant “show home” mode. What does that mean? It means that before any photographs … Read More »

New Coping Model Inspires Proactive Change for Survivors of Lost Loved Ones | April 19, 2011

Dealing with, and healing from, the loss of a loved one is something that all people eventually experience. And when they do, a vast majority of them will most likely be advised that they will cope with it by passing through the now-famous “5 Stages of Grief,” (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance) first postulated by psychologists three decades ago.

However, while the “5 Stages” model works well with those who are dying, it falls far short of meeting the specific needs of the survivors of loss. So says Susan A. Berger, LICSW, EdD and the hundreds of bereaved loved … Read More »

“A delightful must-have handbook to the best haunts in San Francisco. Don’t go there without reading this first!”—Chris Fleming, co-host of Dead Famous and Psychic Kids

Everyone knows San Francisco … or so they think.

The Power Of The Blog | April 19, 2011

Four years ago I teamed with a web designer and launched my first online website.  It was a small boutique and I was thrilled at the prospect of having a virtual store to sell my favorite things. The web designer was savvy enough to suggest that I start a blog using the same graphics and colors as the boutique website.   My first thought was “Why on earth would anyone want to read my blog?”  Then anxiety set in and I started worrying about content.

I work with clients who have experienced the same nagging … Read More »

My Fine Feathered (Jewelry) Friends | April 18, 2011

I was anti-twitter for a long time. A LONG time…until my business coach told me I had to establish a presence there. So, I reluctantly began tweeting a bit over a year ago. And little by little, I was hooked. If I couldn’t spend time on twitter I jonesed. A couple of days with nary a tweet and it was off to the hashtag clinic for me. My Facebook account shuffled off to a corner and pouted while twitter enjoyed all the perks of being my new BFF.

And it still is, for the news, information and just plain fun. I’ve … Read More »

Five Foods That Aren’t As Healthy As You Think | April 18, 2011

 

By Dr. Myron Wentz and Dave Wentz, with Doug Giddings

It’s fairly common knowledge that some foods just aren’t good for you. From the shelves of synthetically processed treats at your local supermarket to trays of deep-fried entrees at a restaurant buffet, every day we are surrounded by unhealthy food options. But even people who try to make healthier choices may unknowingly be stocking up on the wrong things.

Think of the typical grocery store scenario — people pushing around shopping carts the size of small cars, loaded with processed, preservative-laden foods. Even when you aren’t reaching for the pork rinds or … Read More »

Honey-Coated Salmon with Spinach and Noodles | April 18, 2011

By Carrie Vitt, author of Deliciously Organic.

Here’s a great, quick dinner that’s nutritious and something for all ages. The salmon is coated in honey and soy sauce then broiled. Then you stir-fry some vegetables and rice noodles and serve them all up together. To make this quicker to prepare at the end of a hectic day, you can boil the noodles a day ahead of time, toss them in sesame oil (to prevent sticking) and store them in the fridge. The next evening, throw the salmon in the oven, chop your vegetables and saute … Read More »

Dead Anyone? | April 15, 2011

Ever think about what happens when you die? This topic doesn’t usually come up in casual conversation except maybe when grandma sheds her mortal coil or when we get a scary diagnosis (go exercise, green leafy vegetables and Omega-3 fatty acids, go!). Or, when the world is at war, there has been an earthquake and a tsunami that have caused the death of thousands, not to mention a nuclear disaster that no one yet has a remedy for. In times like these even a good sense of humor isn’t enough to get us through. Yes-siree Bob, our current circumstances have … Read More »
