It’s not about the money, the ching or the bling

Feb 26th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

When I was growing up many many years ago, there were two jobs that every parent wanted their kids to have – teachers or banking jobsbanking jobs. Nowadays, they’re jobs that every parent DOESN’T want their kids to have! Go figure! How times have changed. I don’t have kids so I can’t pass […]



Running on empty

Feb 26th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

While out jogging earlier today I somehow managed to break my ipod shuffle. I’m pretty gutted about it. It’s not the cost of replacing it that’s getting to me, (it’s covered by insurance), but the fact that I’ve got a race on tomorrow and won’t have one purchased in time so I’ll have […]



Healthy choices make all the difference

Feb 25th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

Some of the best diet pills I’ve ever used are ones I bought in the health store recently. In recent years I’ve started increasing the amount of things I buy in health stores – everything from toothpaste to cleaning products. I find that the things you buy there are less harsh on the […]



Losing weight could be easier than I thought

Feb 25th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

Health is very important to me especially as I get older. I like to take care of myself and exercise regularly. However, I’ve noticed that as I’m getting older, my metabolism has slowed and my body isn’t able for the injuries I afflict upon it! At a recent trip to my local […]



Retaining everything but the stuff we’re supposed too

Feb 24th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

They don’t make women like they used too. Or men either for that matter! Earlier this evening I had the pleasure of the company of an elderly neighbour at a dinner party. She was rather charming and somewhat endearing. She started to complain of feeling rather bloated after a sumptuous dinner and […]



Opening up a box of forgotten memories

Feb 24th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

My first job was working for brother printers almost 30 years ago. I’ve come a long way since then even though there are still some who would dispute that fact! I was doing a clear out of the attic recently and came across a box of hidden treasures that I’d kept over the […]



Cleansing the resume is good for the soul

Feb 24th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

My sister was recently made redundant and so she decided to embark on a new career plan. She’s currently studying alternative health treatments. One of the treatments that she has to learn about is colon cleansing. She’s of a sensitive disposition so I have no idea how she will handle the training […]



It’s different this time – honestly!

Feb 24th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

So we’re nearly at the end of February and only now have I decided to make a new years resolution. I’ve joined a gym – ANOTHER one! Every year I’m the same, I join up thinking that being a member of a gym will somehow make me go to the gym and exercise. […]



Investigating without resolution

Feb 24th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

How does one discover the best weight loss product on the market when there are so many to choose from? I could ask the ladies in the office but then I fear I could be accused of sexism or something. I could go the drugstore and ask one of the assistants but then […]



Cheap doesn’t always leave you cheerful

Feb 11th, 2011 | By Eveloped Journalist | Category: Business Acumen

We all know that in these tough economic times that we need to tighten our belts and shop around for the best bargains. Sometimes the cheapest option isn’t the best though. This is something I discovered recently when I took out the cheapest auto insurance policy I could. Foolishly I didn’t read […]
