Q.O.T.D.

"If you plant your own garden...you'll never have to wait for someone to bring you flowers"!!!

I love this quote because I find it to be very true! In my opinion, it has everything to do with self-love. If you first accept you for you, love you for you and continue to feed your soul, the opinions of others will mean less to you! 

Vehicle Winterizing Tips

It's cold....it's brisk....it's wintertime!!!  

This cold weather is not only harsh to our bodies but also to our vehicles! Take a look at some cool tips to help with winterizing your vehicle!!

Keep your headlights clear with car wax! Just wipe ordinary car wax on your headlights. It contains special water repellents that will prevent that messy mixture from accumulating on your lights - lasts 6 weeks.

Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing alcohol! Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make badly streaking & squeaking wipers change to near perfect silence & clarity

Ice-proof your windows with vinegar! Just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water and spray it on all of your windows at night. In the morning, they'll be clear of any icy mess. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which raises the melting point of water---preventing water from freezing!

Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray! Spray cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors & rub it in with a paper towel The cooking spray prevents water from melting into the rubber

Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream! Spray some shaving cream on the inside of your windshield and wipe it off with paper towels. Shaving cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial defoggers.

De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitizer! Just put some hand sanitizer gel on the key and the lock and the problem is solved!

Also** Keep a blanket, flashlight, flares, hand and foot warmer packets, snacks, and water in your car during adverse weather conditions. These items can and will help you just in case you were to ever have a breakdown and get stuck while on the road.

I hope you not only found these tips to be helpfu, but will also put them to use!!

What Does Your Birth Number Say About You?

Your birth date "supposedly" describes who we are, what we are good at and what our inborn abilities are. It also points out what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing. Check out this cool method on finding out what you birth number says about you!!!

Here's how:

To figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in the Birth Date together, like in the example, until there is only one digit. A Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want to be; it will just

color your choice differently and give you a little insight.

Example:

March 20, 1950

3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973

1+9+7+3=20

2+0=2

Keep going until you end up with a single digit number. 2 is the Birth Number to read for the birth date in the

example.

#1 THE ORIGINATOR

#2 THE PEACEMAKER

#3 THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

#4 THE CONSERVATIVE

#5 THE NONCONFORMIST

#6 THE ROMANTIC

#7 THE INTELLECTUAL

#8 THE BIG SHOT

#9 THE PERFORMER

# 1 - THE ORIGINATOR

1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them as being stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and do well to learn

some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best.

#2 - THE PEACEMAKER

2's are the born diplomats. They are aware of others' needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very intuitive they don't like to be alone. Friendship and companionship is very important and can lead them to be successful in life, but on the other hand they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship. Being naturally shy they should learn to boost their self-esteem and

express themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off.

Famous 2's: President Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopee Goldberg, Thomas Edison, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

# 3 - THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

3's are idealists. They are very creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things, but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it They

are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.

Famous 3's: Alan Alder, Ann Landers, Bill Cosby, Melanie Griffith, Karen Round butt, Salvi ad or Dali, Jodi Foster

# 4 - THE CONSERVATIVE

4's are sensible and traditional. They like order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they are expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard. They are attracted to the

outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves.

Famous 4's: Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan, Oprah Winfrey

# 5 - THE NONCONFORMIST

5's are the explorers. Their natural curiosity, risk taking, and enthusiasm often land them in hot water. They need diversity, and don't like to be stuck in a rut. The whole world is their school and they see a learning

possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take action and make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusions.

Famous 5's: Abraham Lincoln, Charlotte Bronte, Jessica Walter, Vincent VanGogh, Bette Midler, Helen Keller and Mark Hail

loyal and make great teachers! They like art or music. They make loyal friends who take the friendship seriously. 6's should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot.

Famous 6's: Albert Einstein, Jane Seymour, John Denver, Merlyn Steep, Christopher Columbus, Goldie Hawn

#7 - THE INTELLECTIJAL

7's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden information. They find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned

themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is slow and steady wins the race. They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically

inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what's not in the world at large.

Famous 7's: William Shakespeare, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Joan Baez, Princess Diana

# 8 - THE BIG SHOT

8's are the problem solvers. They are professional, blunt and to the point, have good judgment and are decisive. They have grand plans and like to live the good life. They take charge of people. They view people

objectively. They let you know in no uncertain terms that they are the boss. They should learn to exude their decisions on their own needs rather than on what others want.

Famous 8's: Edgar Cayce, Barbara Streisand, George Harrison, Jane Fonda, Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklin, Nostrodamus

#9 - THE PERFORMER

9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm, they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them. They have so many

different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation.

Famous 9's: Albert Schweitzer, Shirley MacLaine, Harrison Ford, Jimmy Carter, Elvis Presley

When calculating my birth date, I see that according to this I'm a 5! For me, I dont think the #5 describes me as well. But, it was interesting to see what characteristics they say I have according to my birth date.

How about you? Give it a go and tell me your number!

Easy Oven Cleaning Tip!

Came across this on Facebook and thought I'd share with you! 

After the Thanksgiving holiday, depending on how much cooking you did, you just may need to read and try this great oven cleaning tip!!

No one likes a dirty stove top or oven (I know I don't)! So, if you have some build up in your oven that the normal cleaners may not be removing, try this out!

Begin by preheating the oven to 150 degrees (or your lowest setting available). While the oven is heating, put on a pot of water to boil. Once the oven has reached 150, turn it off and pour 1 cup of ammonia into a heat safe bowl or baking dish and place it on the top rack of the oven. Place the pot of boiling water on the bottom rack, close the oven door, and leave them both in the oven overnight. 

The next morning, open the oven and remove both the bowl of ammonia and the pot of water, keep the ammonia – you’ll use it later. Remove the racks and leave the oven door open to air out for 15 minutes. Add 1-2 teaspoons of dishwashing liquid to the ammonia, along with 4 cups of warm water, and using a heavy-duty nylon scrubbing pad dipped in the ammonia mixture, begin to wipe away the softened grease and grime along the sides and bottom of the oven. 

It should be a fairly easy job at this point. Wear some kitchen gloves, since ammonia can be caustic to skin. Rinse/wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Hope you found this tip helpful. Try it out, I plan too!

Q.O.T.D..."Stand Out & Stand Above"

"Stand Out & Stand Above"

I love the above picture! To me it speaks volumes!! 

There's nothing wrong with being an individual! To me, that's the best way to be! You find so many people trying to live for others, trying to impress others, & trying so hard to fit in. I've never really understood this! Life is a journey...YOUR journey! So in this journey be yourself NO MATTER how "different" you may look or feel! Do what makes you happy & spend time with those that love you for you!

No single person is perfect, we all have flaws/imperfections!! Realize that those same flaws/imperfections are what makes you- you. Maybe those flaws/imperfections are there for you to focus on and work harder on you! Whatever the flaw, whatever the imperfection...love yourself, go hard for yourself, and know that we all have a purpose and not being yourself will stop you from seeing that purpose! 

When you're being yourself, you're being real, & real people appreciate that. Believe it or not, it's noticeable when people are not being themselves and living or doing so to impress the next just to get "cool points" so to speak. 

So remember to "Stand out & Stand Above"! No need to follow the crowd.....you might get lost in it!
