Great Theme Party Ideas

Posted on December 7, 2010 by admin

Theme parties are a fun way to spice up your social life. Here are a few theme ideas and tips on how to plan a great party.

Invitation: Start a theme party off right with a well-written invite. Let your guests know what your inspiration is and give suggestions for what to wear. Offer a prize for the best outfit to encourage people to dress up and participate in the theme.

Decor: Google image search is great for decoration ideas. Try a regular party store for some stuff, but get creative! Also check out vintage or Goodwill stores for fun items.

Dress: Halloween shouldn’t be the only time we get to dress up! Get your camera ready. Decorate a designated photo spot for guests to take pictures. Have accessories available for those who don’t come in costume.

Music Playlist: Thanks to the magic of the internet, we no longer have to play DJ at our own parties. Save time by creating a Pandora online radio station to match the theme of your party. Or check out many other options online for themed playlists. Keep the music light and easy-going when people are first arriving and then turn up the dance beats!

Signature Drink: This is one of the easiest things to tie in the theme of a party. Choose anything relevant to the theme that can be prepared ahead of time and easily served in a pitcher.

Appetizers: Choose options that can be prepared ahead of time to cut down on last-minute party preparation. Not everything served has to be part of the theme – one or two dishes will work.

Dessert: Pick one theme-related dessert, or even just decorations to match the theme on a plain cake.

Theme Ideas:

Cuban

  • Decor: Find vintage travel ads for Cuba

Tips For Staying Motivated

Posted on November 23, 2010 by admin

Motivation is an ongoing process that should include every facet of your life. It only takes a little concentrated effort to keep motivated and productive, which can lead to success. There will always be obstacles in reaching our goals and everyone needs a little help maintaining direction.

Have a positive attitude. We are responsible for our own actions and attitudes. When you’re around people and things that are uplifting and positive, you feel that way. You have more confidence in yourself, and know you can change whatever needs improving.

Create positive affirmations. The reason for writing goals for your business is the same reason for creating positive affirmations on paper. What you see and hear, your mind will believe. After you’ve written them down, read them aloud to yourself – and do it every morning. You’ll be amazed at what happens. Come up with a set of new affirmations every month. Statements such as, “I’m an important and valuable person,” or “I know I’ll make good use of my time today.” Repeating them out loud everyday at a set time will help reinforce positive actions.

Take time for yourself. Constantly working can make you feel burned out. It’s necessary to take time for yourself in order to recharge and keep the creative juices flowing. Take 15 minutes a day to read from a good book. Set aside 2 hours a week to go to a movie or museum. Remind yourself of the reasons why you are working so hard in the first place – to have more time freedom to do what you want.

Keep your “Reason Why” always in view. Put up pictures of your kids close to your computer to remind you of why you are working so hard. Or even the obstacles getting in your way. They should be a reminder of why you don’t give up. Don’t file your credit card bills away. Keep them hanging in your office as a reminder of your goal to pay them off. If there is someone in your life that isn’t supportive, then put up that negative email or picture near your desk. Remember, success is the best revenge.

Tips For Planning a Road Trip

Posted on October 2, 2010 by admin

Road trips are a true American pastime. Grab someone you enjoy spending a LOT of time with and hop in the car. With just a little planning, you can have fun and still be spontaneous.

First thing to shop for is a current road atlas. Of course a GPS is good to have, but keep the maps as a backup. You can use Google Maps to plan your route and have a couple alternate routes in mind.

Go shopping for snacks and drinks for the car. Save some food money by eating a complimentary breakfast at your hotel. Plan to stop at a quick, fast-food place for lunch. Save your food money for a nice dinner spot at your destination later that night.

Fill your iPod with good driving music. Look for a few radio phone applications that are available. Also try some books-on-cd for a change of pace from the radio. Make sure your cellphone has internet access. Bring a pre-paid phone card as backup for those remote areas with no cell service.

Estimate gas charges and plan daily food allowance and spending money. If you are on a tight budget, it’s important to keep your daily expenses organized and set aside, so you don’t run out of money before the trip is over. And keep a credit card free for any emergency car repairs. Get an oil change and other necessary maintenance on the car before leaving. Roadside assistance membership is important too. Make sure your spare tire is in good condition. And don’t wait till the last minute to fill up on gas. Keep an eye on your meter and for any road signs that say “last gas station for 30 miles”.

Loosely plan your hotel and sight-seeing stops. Research some good tourist spots that are off the beaten path. Depending on traffic, tourist stops and other factors, you may change your hotel locations as the trip progresses. Check with your Facebook network for great tourist stops or even a place to stay. Seems like we have such a widespread network of friends nowadays. You never know if a friend has a friend with a guest room in the town you are passing through.

Be flexible on your trip. Sometimes the best road trip stops are unplanned, like seeing a sign on the side of the highway for the coolest place ever! Go with the flow.

Valentine’s Day Travel Tips

Posted on September 12, 2010 by admin

Check into that motel you pass everyday on your way home. (And bring your own pillow.) Sure these one story bed rests get a bad rap, but for a seasoned relationship, there’s something incredibly different and interesting about ‘meeting’ at one. Surprise your loved one by just telling them the address, then make sure you’re in the room long before they are, light a candle, spread the flowers and pour a glass of champagne. Although you may only be a few yards from home, you’ll both wake up in a totally different mindset.

Don’t be limited by the calendar. Although Valentine’s Day falls on a Monday this year, and rarely do co-workers or your boss recognize the rose fest as a national holiday, do your due diligence and take off the weekend before.

Embrace the short haul. Instead of dreaming of that far away Bora Bora water bungalow, research closer, more attainable locales. Areas that are between 3-6 hour drives. This length of trip provides just enough feeling of getting away, without draining your wallet. Be sure to make a mixed tape or eight track for the drive- something special that will surprise your loved one with each opening music cue. Lastly, don’t forget to turn the radio off as well- good conversation has always been stoked by the purring engine of the open highway.

Do something completely different. If the two of you have never cruised, cruise. Miniature golfed, pick up the short stick. Doing something out of both of your comfort zones immediately creates a sense of togetherness, warmth and exciting new memories. Many couple make the mistake of trying something new on their anniversary- the downfall is if the experience isn’t well received, the important date is ruined that year. The best thing about Valentine’s Day- although it’s a looked-forward to holiday- if your miniature golfing is ruined by a bunch of drunk teenagers vomiting in the holes before you, it won’t be the end of the world.

Finally, go the extra distance. Research that high-end luxury hotel and pull the trigger. You’d be surprised to learn they’re not as expensive as you may believe. And many give Valentine’s Day specials, two for one deals, spa treatments, and romantic dinners for two. Nothing say true love more than opening your heart and your wallet, and as we all know, more times than not, our Valentine’s Day plans end up this way. But don’t be disheartened, next year, find that local motel.
