Still, there’s something to be said for getting away from the kitchen table. That’s where a c-table like BDI’s Milo can come in handy. Though small in size, these tables are big on versatility. 

Weighing only 10 pounds, Milo is easy to pick up and move. It effortlessly slides up to or under seating and is always right by your side whenever you need it.

Place it in the living room to enjoy the morning light while you sip your coffee and tackle the first tasks of the day. Then move it to the deck for a change of scenery while you answer emails. Thanks to its durable powdered aluminum construction, it can occasionally go outside.

At the end of the day, Milo plays as hard as it works, serving as the perfect side table to hold remote controls and libations while you binge the latest must-see television series.

BALANCING SENTIMENTAL VALUE WITH DECLUTTERING AND ORGANIZING

Now that we are sheltering at home, many of us will start to tackle house related projects, including decluttering and organizing. But, letting go of things isn’t always easy. How much stuff do you have in your house that you keep around for purely sentimental reasons? Like that old t-shirt from a favorite vacation or the set of silverware that belonged to your grandparents?

While we all want to hold on to special memories, the impulse to “hold on to things” can quickly lead to clutter and mess if left unchecked. It’s important to balance the need to save with the need to streamline and get organized.

Admittedly, it can feel hard to have to give up precious family possessions. If you’re struggling with belongings of sentimental value while trying to declutter your home, try these tips:

1. CREATE A KEEPSAKE STRATEGY

If your sentimental belongings are starting to take over rooms in your home, it may be time to create a keepsake strategy and evaluate each item.

For example, if you recently lost a close family member, it can be tempting to want to hold on to so many of their possessions. But the truth is, even if your grandmother was the best knitter in the world, there’s no need for you to hold on to every blanket and sweater she made.

Divide your sentimental items into categories, and make a point to only keep a few from each category. For all your sentimental items, ask yourself:

  • Why is this specific item sentimental? If it’s because of the person you got it from, consider if you can remember the person and the special memory without this particular item.
  • Is this an item you’ll use?
  • Can you give it to someone who would get more use and value out of it?

Hopefully with this keepsake strategy, you’ll hold on to only a manageable number of sentimental belongings.

2. SAVE IT TO THE CLOUD

Rather than keeping large bulky physical items, can you take a photo and save it to the cloud? New research demonstrates that taking and keeping a digital photo can help you both preserve a memory (sometimes even longer than a physical item which may fade or grow moldy) while also decluttering your home.

You may even prefer to take digital photos of old family albums, as the digital photos will last longer without taking up space in your house.

3. KEEP THINGS IN THE FAMILY

While it may feel difficult to have to give up a precious family heirloom, ask yourself if it’s time to pass it on to someone else in the family who can now get better use from it.

 If it feels right, you might even want to give items to close friends, including them in the circle of your “wider family.” It might be the best way to keep family heirlooms and traditions going into the future.

4. DO GOOD

If there’s no one you know who might be able to use your old sentimental items, maybe you can give them away to someone in need.

While it can be hard to part with something you love, the knowledge that someone else can need it and appreciate it even more might help you feel better about your choice to give things away.

5. FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

While you certainly want to never forget where you came from, you also want to make sure you’re not stuck in the past.

It can be soothing and healing to spend some time in nostalgia. But don’t lose sight of your useful future goal to declutter and organize your home. Streamlining your possessions will help everyone in your home live calmly and more efficiently, and that’s definitely a worthwhile reason to declutter.

The Recent Rise of Online Design Work

In the few short years since it has become possible, online work has risen from niche means of employment to a broad and viable choice. With the capacity for far greater convenience than traditional methods, improving technology and working infrastructure is continuously opening new doors for newcomers and established home workers alike. In America alone, around 4.3 million people work from home at least half the time, and this number is only rising.

One of the major obstacles in this form of work, which we want to address in this article, is how people tend to pigeonhole the opportunities that online work represents. Looking through the lens of online casinos and studying the individual components lets us see just how many jobs are available from this one sphere, with similar concepts applying to many other online industries.

Online Casino Games

Visiting a modern online casino immediately gives the impression of substantial variety. When looking through slots and casino to play games, for example, customers are faced with hundreds of entries to choose from. These include a wide range of themes, graphic and music styles, and bonus games. These elements require contributions from many individuals with highly specialized skills, all of which can be employed from home. Games will require designers, programmers, and security experts. Similarly, experts will be required for designing, maintaining, and advertising the website, alongside professionals who can assure everything is operating up the required standards.

Dozens of even hundreds of people are needed to contribute to one specialized website like an online casino. From working within the website directly to consulting on important manners or creating the software and services on which games rely – enormous human contributions are necessary. These jobs are possible to do without ever stepping outside the door.

Preparing an Environment and Building Skills

It should be noted, for the uninitiated, that getting involved in distance work can require more than just sitting at a computer. This is a pitfall that many new workers fall into, in their belief that working from home inherently means a more casual experience. Just as with any other type of job or career, a professional and dedicated environment is key for making progress and staying focussed.

This begins, as any standard career would, with resumes, interviews, and sometimes taking lesser jobs to build experience for something more long-term. It’s also the case where a learning-curve can put workers on a slow start, but again getting used to the change will usually only take a matter of weeks. This is not too different from traditional jobs.

Whether you do choose to get involved in the rapidly expanding area of online casinos or any other type of online work or not, it is important to know that the tools and resources to help you are established and vast. Offering the potential for great flexibility, convenience, and challenges, there is a reason why this sector of the workforce is growing by the day. If you find the traditional system isn’t for you, then consider investigating the online model, and you might find your place alongside millions of others.

NFL Superstar and Entertainer Terry Bradshaw Set to

Release Original Song, “Quarantine Crazy”

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Super Bowl champion and FOX NFL analyst, Terry Bradshaw, along with Sony Music Entertainment, will debut a new single, “Quarantine Crazy,” at midnight EST/9 p.m. PST on Thursday, April 23.

The football star and iconic entertainer has channeled his musical talents into the song, which will be available on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora and other outlets. Co-written by country singer Jimmy Yeary, “Quarantine Crazy” playfully chronicles the plight of the current “safer-at-home” quarantine mandates.

“After weeks of staying home and social distancing, I think we can all relate to feeling a bit ‘Quarantine Crazy’,” said Bradshaw. “However, it is more important than ever to remain home and stay safe. We will all get on the other side of this soon, but in the meantime, I hope this song brings a smile to your faces.”

A portion of the proceeds received from the sale of the song will support local food banks in Oklahoma and Texas.

Bradshaw, who has a long history in music and entertainment, was signed to a 31-show residency with “The Terry Bradshaw Show” at Luxor Hotel and Casino for 2020. New dates for his Las Vegas show have not yet been announced. His first foray into music, a cover of Hank William’s classic “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” landed him on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976. He also hit the charts with his follow up single, “The Last Word in Lonesome is Me.” Bradshaw has released two albums in his career, toured with gospel artists, The Isaacs, and participated in FOX’s singing competition, “The Masked Singer.”

TERRY BRADSHAW

The only NFL player with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Terry Bradshaw continues to entertain fans far and beyond his legendary professional football career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The four-time Super Bowl champion quarterback, two-time Super Bowl MVP and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee joined FOX NFL Sunday as co-host and analyst with the show’s inception in 1994. In addition to his long-term role as a multi-Emmy and award-winning broadcaster, Bradshaw has starred in movie and television hits including the box office smash comedy romance, “Failure to Launch,” “Father Figures,” “Better Late than Never,” and “The Masked Singer.” Bradshaw is also a gospel and country singer, motivational speaker, New York Times best-selling author and breeder of championship quarter horses.

The Benefits of Vaping CBD Cartridges

There are lots of different ways to use CBD, but vape cartridges might be the easiest and most convenient options on the market. With most CBD carts, all it takes to experience the non-intoxicating power of this cannabinoid is inhaling from a tiny, battery-powered stick you keep in your pocket. Even with this level of convenience, CBD cartridges still pack the most effectiveness and power of any CBD product category. Learn more in this guide.

Vaping vs. smoking

Vaping is definitely safer than smoking. While smoke of any kind contains incinerated plant matter, vapor only contains water and vaporized oils. This lack of particulates makes it easy for your lungs to absorb vapor, and there’s less chance of oxidative stress causing smoke-related conditions like cancer.

Vapor also tastes better than smoke, and it may be more effective. While holding the smoke in your lungs will only hurt you without offering increased effects, the mildness of vapor makes it okay to keep CBD in your lungs for longer. Since your lungs absorb vapor better than smoke, CBD vape cartridges may even have more bioavailability, which is the measurement of how much of a substance your body can use.

Unique benefits of CBD cartridges

CBD vape cartridges take all the benefits of dabbing and put them in your pocket. Whenever you want to enjoy a concentrated dose of CBD that goes right to your central nervous system (CNS), dabbing is the way to go, and CBD vape cartridges that contain nothing beyond pure CBD-rich hemp flower extract offer the exact same benefits as a dab rig without all the mess.

All it takes to enjoy CBD on the go is a little puff from the vape pen you keep in your pocket. While the effects of pulmonary ingestion (inhaling) don’t last as long as oral ingestion (swallowing), they’re much quicker and more intense, making CBD carts a fast fix for problems that only non-intoxicating cannabidiol can solve.

How to choose the best CBD cartridges

It’s natural to be a little bit skeptical of vape cartridges after the recent scare over vitamin E acetate, but it’s easy to protect yourself from bad products. Start by taking a careful look at the company that makes the cartridge—is it a big company, and do they have lots of reviews? If so, you’ve probably found a winner, but it’s also important to examine the ingredients.

Good CBD cartridges contain CBD extract only. There is no reason to add extra ingredients to CBD cartridges. CBD oil does not require thinners, bases, or other ingredients to vaporize properly, and on the contrary, adding other substances to your hemp carts could be dangerous.

Live resin is the highest-quality type of CBD extract ever devised, and here are two of the top live resin cartridges on the market:

1. Raw Nectar Live Resin CBD Cartridge

This Raw Nectar vape cartridge from Secret Nature contains nothing more or less than CO2-extracted live resin hemp flower extract. With no flavors or artificial ingredients, this Raw Nectar cartridge is natural cannabis oil at its best.

Secret Nature carts don’t even contain any added terpenes because they don’t need to—live resin extraction captures the terpene profile of cannabis flower at the moment it’s cut from the stalk, offering a richer and more potent experience. This hybrid strain is named for its honey-like flavor overtones that blend into a deep earthy texture as you inhale.

2. Lemon Diesel Live Resin CBD Cartridge

Lemon Diesel has a decidedly sativa terpene profile, which will help you get up and go whenever it’s time to focus. Like all Secret Nature cartridges, this CBD vape cart is offered in both 700mg and 1200mg size options, and this brand is very conscientious about providing batch-specific, third-party lab reports with each product batch.

All it takes to get started with your new vape cartridge is a fully-charged battery and a single inhalation. You’ll notice the difference between live resin and other extract types from the first puff, and once you get used to the convenience and potency of CBD vape cartridges, you’ll never want to go back.

Uses For Essential Oil And Applications Like Refillable Essential Oil Vape Pen

There are essentially three methods for essential oils to incorporate into the body either through absorption into the skin, inhalation, or ingestion. For each of these methods, there comes a variety of techniques for application. It’s important to note that the substances are not to have direct application to the skin without having dilution with a carrier oil. Typically, you would use a teaspoon of the carrier such as a vegetable or nut oil or even water in combination with three drops of the pure compound.

Essential Oil Application

The method that you use for application will depend on the effect that you want and which substance you choose. Some oils irritate the skin meaning they would not be appropriate for the topical method. A more appropriate technique may be inhalation for which you could try this application, a refillable essential oil vape pen alternatively. The condition will play a part as well in determining which technique you choose.

  • In most instances wound care will involve the topical method.
  • Inhalation or topicals will be more useful for mood-related effects, but the suggestion is that inhalation may be more fast-acting.
  • In a steam bath, both inhalation and topical absorption note to be useful.
  • Ingesting or swallowing essential oils is not recommended due to the damage that it can cause to the body. However, they can be useful when added to water and gargled. After gargling, you should spit out. You should not swallow any of the solutions. An example is a drop of tea tree oil in combination with a glass of water notes to be useful for a sore throat.

For those who don’t know how to use their aromatherapy most productively, consulting with a qualified aroma-therapist is advisable for guidance. 

Carrier Oil Guidelines

Natural food shops or bath and body stores that specialize in natural products will offer conventional carrier oils for use in diluting essential oils for use as topicals on the skin. Those carriers deemed to be cold-pressed or organic are the recommendation with examples such as apricot kernel, sweet almond, avocado, jojoba, grapeseed. These don’t offer a strong smell on their own and should be kept cold until use (in the refrigerator) and discarded if they become rancid. Typically, these substances will last up to a year when kept in the fridge.  Ne mindful of potential risks with the chemical as advised at http://www.webmd.com/beauty/news/20180813/essential-oils-promise-help-but-beware-the-risks.

Lavender is among the very few that can go undiluted on small places of the skin. Pure lavender has benefits for cuts or minor burns or, when inhaled, promotes sleep and relaxation.

The Benefits Provided Through Aromatherapy

The claim is that essential oils in combination with appropriate medical/holistic care from a healthcare practitioner can support the prevention of certain illnesses and assist in boosting the immune system. They note to have antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties that help in preventing certain illnesses from developing. 

The immune system boasts as benefitting from the substances being breathed in through the lungs and absorbed into the bloodstream.

  • Colds are less likely when the passageways are kept clear of bacteria and congestion through the use of peppermint, tea tree, and eucalyptus.
  • When inhaled, various oils, including sage, oregano, cinnamon, frankincense, and eucalyptus note to boost the immune system’s function.
  • A potent antifungal, antibacterial, is tea tree that boasts of having the capability of preventing fungus and cuts from turning into serious infections.
  • The claim is that patients diagnosed with Lyme disease have seen success in the immune system boosting through the use of clove.
  • Oregano touts as being a strong antibacterial capable of helping to heal infections within the body and keeping them from turning into more severe ailments.
  • Garlic boasts of fighting a variety of viral, fungal, and bacterial infections with its noted healing properties. Learn here the basics of what these substances are.

In taking time to understand what each oil’s capabilities are, you have the potential to support your medical provider in the treatment plan of healing the mind and body using what touts to be a safe and natural technique. Aromatherapy has been around for many centuries boasting as an efficient benefit against a diverse group of ailments.

PIRELLI: FOUR TIRE MAINTENANCE TIPS TO RESUME DRIVING SAFELY

If your car has been standing for a while, it is worth checking the tires to make sure you can get going again safely. There are some checks you can carry out by yourself, but others are best done by a tire specialist.

Pirelli’s experts recommend in particular:

1. Checking tires visually to see if there are any lumps or deformations caused by the car standing still for a long time, or by the weather conditions. Check also for damage, cuts, abrasions and the tire bulging – and ensure that the valve caps are tight.

2. Checking tire pressures, also the spare tire, ideally at a tire dealer with professional monitoring equipment. This helps guarantee optimal performance and safety, as well as the correct rolling resistance to enhance fuel economy.

3. Tire wear to be above the legal limit of 2/32″ tread depth. This can be checked using the tread depth indicator on the tire itself.

4. Paying close attention to any vibrations could be felt through the steering wheel after the car has been standing for a long period of time. If these don’t go away after the first few miles, get the car looked at by professionals as soon as possible.

YUNGBLUD – WEIRD, The YUNGBLUD Show Live

YUNGBLUD shares his new single “Weird!” — an instantly resonant anthem for this strange moment in time. With its candid confessions of fear and anxiety, “Weird!” showcases the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist’s uncompromising honesty and larger-than-life energy. “Weird!”  is available HERE via Locomotion/ Interscope Records.  

Despite its incredibly relevant chorus, “Weird!” was written prior to the shelter-in-place orders. Built on frenetic beats, shimmering guitar work, and particularly soulful vocals from YUNGBLUD, the track captures a mood of uncertainty that the 22-year-old artist felt his listeners might find relatable.

“I wrote the song about the weirdest time in my life ever imagined,” says YUNGBLUD. “I felt like the ground beneath me was a maze that was shape shifting and I felt like I was going to fall down the cracks and, in my opinion, the world feels exactly like that right now. I wanted this song to make everyone feel that everything was going to be alright no matter how weird things get.”

Now at work on his sophomore album, YUNGBLUD recently premiered THE YUNGBLUD SHOW — a series which aired on his YouTube channel. In addition to featuring intimate at-home performances from YUNGBLUD himself, the show featured appearances from friends and collaborators like Travis Barker, Machine Gun Kelly, and 24kGoldn. A passionate performer who thrives on connecting with his audience, YUNGBLUD conceived of THE YUNGBLUD SHOW as a way to stay creative and connected with his fans. Watch THE YUNGBLUD SHOW LIVE here – www.youtube.com/YUNGBLUD. In addition, YouTube Originals and YUNGBLUD are set to announce a new weekly series that follows the UK recording artist as he adjusts to a remote lifestyle while creating music and keeping up with his personal life.

Born in Yorkshire, England, 22-year-old recording artist YUNGBLUD (Dominic Harrison) is a multi-instrumentalist who first picked up a guitar at age two and began writing his own songs at age 10. Harrison is known for voicing what he feels are major concerns for his generation, using his music to unite and empower the youth of today. YUNGBLUD shot onto the scene in 2018 with his self-titled EP. His full-length debut 21st Century Liability followed where hechanneled his outrage about the state of the world into confrontational, yet catchy songs that are steeped in both punk fury and pop melodicism. In 2019 YUNGBLUD released Live In Atlanta and hope for the underrated youth EP which debuted top 10 on the UK Official Albums chart.  YUNGBLUD has performed to sold out crowds in overtwenty countries and played over one hundreddates since 2018 including Austin City Limits, Life Is Beautiful, Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds Festivals and Vans Warped Tour.

I’m craving to get back on stage every single day and can’t wait to do this with some incredible guests. It’s been so hard for independent venues. I wanted to partner with NIVA because independent venues are the backbone of the music industry and give young artists the chance to have their music heard.
