Turkey Emergency
Now that we have your attention, let us apologize for the alarm!
It is not a turkey emergency, whatever that may be.
It was years ago, when my sister said that to me. She was in a panic during her first thanksgiving dinner for the extended family. While it was a brave endeavor to take on for the first time, it wasn't a total disaster. She did forget to remove the handy little bag, with all of the innards that you find in a frozen turkey.

PLANNING A RENOVATION?
Do you have any plans this summer to tackle a renovation project? It can be really exciting to set out plans and visualize what your space will look like after! The job may take time, but it will be worth it! Diving in head first might not be the best approach. You are going to want to plan out exactly what you are going to keep and what you are going to dispose of. This includes walls, carpeting, windows, you name it! It also includes furniture, old appliances, cupboards or cabinets, even the kitchen sink!You might want to consider renting a dumpster to have on premise, while you are doing your demolition work. It will keep your work area free of debris and will keep it a lot safer for you and others who are working or visiting the site. Last thing that you ever want is for someone to step on a nail! Or to cut themselves on a sharp edge of metal trimming or such. Keeping the work space free of all hazardous material is the best method of avoiding a trip to the emergency room, or having to stock up on band-aids! But you should still have a first aid kit on hand regardless. Hopefully, you will never need to open it, but it’s there if you need to.If you are going to rent a dumpster or bin, you should definitely contact a junk removal company early. Bin rentals during the summer months are a pretty popular thing. When you realize that a lot of home owners or businesses like to do their major renovations during the warmer season, this makes sense. So, we would recommend that you plan ahead, at least a month or two, and book the dumpster early. At least you will have it reserved, come the time that you will need it on site.If you are removing old appliances, you can also hire a junk removal company to come and take them off your hands. This might be the perfect time to get rid of them, rather than moving them and then reinstalling them after the renovation. Why not get rid of them instead, at that time. You can schedule your delivery of new appliances to co-inside with the completion or partial completion of the project. Getting the old out of your way to start with will free up space for you to plan and renovate how you want the space.Are you planning on replacing flooring? Maybe taking up the carpet and installing hardwood floors instead? Haul it outside and have it taken away. You won’t have to waste any time taking it to the dump. You can stay on the job site, continuing with the renovation, while a junk removal company comes and takes the old stuff away.Are you going to upgrade your furniture? Maybe a new couch and chairs? Or a new kitchen or dining room set? You can donate your old furniture, if it still has some life left in it. There are many different charities that take donations of furniture for people in need. Some will pick up. Some won’t. But many junk removal companies are aware of the need for furniture and such, and will recycle them appropriately. Many will take them off your hands and deliver them to the charities directly. They are working hard to try and keep items out of landfills as well.When you do use a junk removal service, the fees associated with the job depend on the size of the load. Often, there may be a small surcharge if you need them to remove the item from your home. You can always remove items prior to the scheduled pickup time and place them outside yourself. This will reduce the cost to you. But if you are not able to do so, they are always capable of doing that for you.If you prefer to take items to the recycling centres yourself, you can find where they are located and the hours of operation online. But sometimes, especially during renovations, it may be more time-saving to hire someone to haul your debris and unwanted items away. Keeps you working and moving forward on your renovation project!
BENEFITS OF EPOXY GARAGE FLOORING
Nothing will make your garage floor look great than epoxy coating. Many home owners have discovered just how stunning the final product can be for their own garages. With a wide range of colors and patterns, the creativity of the homeowner isn’t restricted. And the extra added benefit is that epoxy will improve the lifespan of the flooring.Just so we are all in the know, epoxy is a strong, durable resin that will repel oil, water, and other different materials that stain and damage garage floors. It is very useful in protecting and extending the life of concrete, keeping it from deterioration and failure. And the maintenance is very easy.Let’s go over a few of the reasons that many professionals will recommend epoxy flooring for your garage.Health Benefits
The surface of epoxy garage floors is sealed and smooth. Any dust or dirt is easily swept away. Nothing collects on a rough surface, like concrete can. It is also water resistant and does not create a favorable environment for bacteria or pathogens to grown. If you or anyone suffers from certain allergies, epoxy will help keep that under control.Easy to Maintain
As we mentioned earlier, the maintenance of an epoxy garage floor is very simple. Because the surface is smooth, there are no gaps, pores, cracks, or joints that can collect dirt and grime. Being water resistant, it will not allow for moisture to penetrate and cause damage. Chemical and oil spills are easy to clean up. And the floor will resist staining from these spills.Damage Resistant
You will not experience damage to the epoxy garage floor due to your tools. This is really important. Because items such as Jack stands, jacks, and rolling toolboxes could cause damage to other types of floors. It is resistant to temperature damage, that being either extreme heat or colds. So it will weather very well in all seasons the climate will give us. Clean up of road salts and icy brines that get tracked in by vehicles is very easy. Also, as a nice add on, you can have a slip resistant aggregate applied during the final coating. Creating a slip-resistant surface, which is also a safety benefit.Durability
Epoxy is tough. Extremely tough. It’s very much like giving your garage floor an armour to wear. Grease, acids, gasoline, and other car fluids will not break through and cause damage. Nor will other chemicals such as bleach and other cleaners. Industrial applications have been going on for years. Now residential applications are seeing the durability this product has to offer. When applied correctly, epoxy coatings can maintain its color and condition for decades.Appearance
If you are looking for garage flooring that will take your garage to the next level, epoxy is the material to use. Absolute stunning results can be obtained. There is such a wide range of colors and styles to choose from and applications for use keep growing. You can create the appearance of metallic, granite, or terrazzo. There is definitely a style and color to fit everyone’s taste and style.We offer you a warning though. Epoxy is best installed by a professional. The skill they bring to the table is required to get the best epoxy flooring results. Epoxy flooring is definitely not a project you want to take on yourself.
Bookkeeping for small businesses
Bookkeeping and Accounting will often be tasks that a small business owner will struggle with.Let’s face it. Your goal in the long run is to make money. That is why you are doing this in the first place. Often entrepreneurs start their own venture so that they can own a business and generate a comfortable living doing what they are passionate about. That passion will come from a variety of outlets, such as products, manufacturing, services, and many other types of revenue generating activities. Whether you hire employees or a one man show right now, your attention should be on the activities that will create that flow of money coming into your business. It is the lifeline that will support your business and yourself. Getting your product and services out to the general public and delivering your goods to the end user is your most important task. And it should remain that way.But you cannot neglect the necessity of having your financial records taken care of. Quite often, this can become a task that is not viewed as being as important as generating the actual sale. And you may be right on that point. But it is something that needs to be taken care of for the overall benefit of your company.If you operate a business that, as an example, requires payment up front for a product, then you may not be concerned at all about collecting on orders placed. Funds are in the account immediately! But if you are a company that allows customers to place orders or purchases on an account, you are going to need to get those invoices out as soon as possible, following the order being fulfilled. Are you creating invoicing as soon as possible and getting it mailed out or emailed to the customer for payment? The quicker you can convert these invoices into cash in the bank, the better cash flow you will have to operate. You may need to follow up with some customers who may be a bit slow in processing. All of these receivables need to be managed so that you are making sure you get paid for what you have provided.You will also need to make sure that all of the business activity expenses are recorded and tracked. Be careful with those receipts! Getting your expenses recorded in your books as soon as possible is much easier to manage, rather than trying to find where you put them and enter them every month or so. If you are purchasing any materials, goods, or even services for your business that you place on account with another business, you need to know when the payment is due. Remember your receivables, mentioned above? Well, your account is a receivable for another business. You need to do your part in ensuring payments are issued when they are due. Getting this kind of expense recorded as soon as possible will help a great deal with this. And avoid late payment penalties.Where do you record all of this? In a notebook? On a pad of paper? No, there are many different bookkeeping and accounting software solutions on the market that can tackle this very easily. The packaged software will come with all the necessary components to set up your ledger accounts (a fancy name for the type of expense or revenue) and will equip you with report generating tools that will give you a snap shot of the health of your business.These financial reports may just look like a report of a bunch of numbers to you. They are so much more than that. They provide clarity on the overall activity of the business. They will pinpoint issues that may become very problematic in the future. And they are key reports that investors and banks will be looking at, if you are needing funding at some point in the year. Or, if the end result you are seeking is to sell your business, this is “looking under the hood” for potential buyers.Unless the business you are operating is actually an accounting or bookkeeping service, chances are that you will have very limited knowledge about how to set up your books. How accurately you are able to set up those ledger accounts, will determine how accurate your reporting is. As bookkeeping or accounting isn’t your primary focus in your day-to-day operations, you shouldn’t be using your time to learn everything about it. Instead, trust a professional who is as passionate about your books as you are about what you do. They will share with you their insights on the health of the business, help you to understand all those reports with the numbers on them, and help you see your path forward into the future. Having them on your side is well worth it.
ITS ROAD TRIP TIME!! BE PREPARED!
Most closely tied together with travelling are holidays, vacations, and days off. Getting out of town and spending those days travelling by care is a choice that many people make during that time. Some of the appeal of road trips are that you can follow your own agenda by picking the departure time, pack as many things as you need/want, find the most beautiful and undiscovered roads, and reach your destination that may not be accessible by public transport.However, on a road trip you are the master of your own trip, which means that you are responsible for all kinds of emergencies, even some of the most unexpected ones. It is impossible to prepare for every possible situation in advance that may occur while you travel, however. Fortunately, one way you can be further prepared for the unforeseen is to have a special roadside emergency kit, which will likely help you handle a lot of situations that happen to other travelers.You can start packing your roadside emergency kit with the standard items, which you can then supplement and customize as you see fit. Here is a basic list:A cell phone so you can call 911. It doesn’t matter how new or fancy it is, or if it even has service, it is best to just keep even a cheaper or old one in your emergency kit.
First-aid kit. (Details below.)
Flashlight.
Flares and a white flag.
Jumper cables.
Jack and an accompanying mat so you can change a tire.
Work gloves and a change of clothes.
Basic repair tools and duct tape (in order to fix leaks.)
A jug of water and towels for cleaning up.
Nonperishable food, drinking water, and medicine.
Extra windshield cleaner fluid.
Maps. Electrical devices are good, but only when you are lost and within areas with signal.
Blanket.
Cash money.
A pen and paper for writing down directions and phone numbers.In the winter, is is especially important to remember:Extra hats, socks, and mittens.
Ice scraper and a snow brush.
Tire chains.How, let us take a look inside the emergency first-aid kit. In order for it to be ready for use, you should:Check the list of Red Cross approved first-aid kit items. If you are lacking those items, you can buy them directly from the Red Cross or at your local pharmacy.
Include any medications that you may be taking.
Find a way in which to contain all that you are intending to pack. Plastic boxes and nylon bags are recommended.
Store your first-aid kit in an easily accessible and safe place.
Regularly check the labels on the medications, changing out the ones that are expired.
Remember to replenish the supplies you do use from the kit.
Consider adding an easy to read first-aid kit manual.While we hope you will never need to, with this you should be ready to handle an emergency situation on your trip! And if you are in need of any towing in Edmonton, check out Pro Towing! They have your back!

With every news outlet offering digital services, delivering their news right to your inbox, this might not be a convenient tip. But if you do have old newspapers still, they can be used in place of paper towel for window cleaning. This gives these old papers a second chance at being useful. But if you don’t have any old newspapers anymore, you can use coffee filters (unused ones, obviously!). Or even better, you can use microfiber towel. You can rewash – reuse. You have to love that!Windows + Squeegee = Match Made in Heaven!You do know what a squeegee is, right? You will spot them at every gas station you drive up to. They are used for cleaning off your windshield of your car. Hint here… they work great on windows! Any kind of window with a glass pane! Including the ones found in your home!

People have been cleaning their windows using a home-mixed solution for decades if not centuries. Ask your grandmother… And they do work! And you don’t have to mix it up in a well-ventilated lab. Try this recipe, if you will: 2 parts water, 1 part vinegar, and just a couple of drops of dish soap. Mix it up in a clean squirt bottle. Spray it on the window and wipe it clean. You don’t have to soak the window down either. Then, rinse the window off with water to take off any remaining soap residue. Don’t forget you can use your squeegee at this point too!Chalk this one up to the ProsSo, you have used your squeegee until your hands are numb. And you have tried all the cleaners on the market.

There is a softness to it and it will clear off dust or lint that might be hanging on to the window as well. You can buff out any streaks and have it back to the kid’s blackboard before they even notice it’s gone!Cover all your AnglesWe have been arguing about this last one here, as a team. Some think this is just a sign of an over-compulsive disorder. Some disagree. We have come to an agreement to let you decide yourself.
You might think that you have achieved a spotless, shiny window. And then you step 2 steps to the right and, low and behold, you still see streaks! Bend over and look up to the left, and a streak has been hiding there… Don’t panic. Just touch it up with a damp cloth and cleaning solution. Or grab that chalkboard eraser one more time. Your perspective and your results may vary with each position you view your window from. So, try looking through the window from a few different spots. How many different spots? Well, that’s up to you… and your mental healthcare professional.We hope that you find the above tips helpful. Or at the very least, you were somewhat entertained reading them. It’s our first attempt at writing a blog and enjoying a bottle of wine. If it receives positive feedback, we may revisit our creation process…

The Ins and Outs of Bed Bug Traps
Probably the most unwanted guest in your home is the dreaded bed bug. Just the idea of bed bugs being present in your space can set your skin to crawling! These pests are so sneaky and tiny, and they can cause havoc in your daily lives.For many, the first place they turn to is online search, to find out what treatments they can do to eliminate them. There are a lot of different ideas out there but many are not effective.The best friend you will have during all of this is your local bed bug exterminator. They can give you some great advice as to what you can effectively do on your own, while waiting for a professional to provide you the right treatment.
Often, they will first ask you if you have any bed bug traps set out. This article is digging deeper into why they ask that question. And why you should consider these traps in the interim.What is a Bed Bug Trap?If you are imaging something that resembles a bear trap, with jaws and springs, you might have a very active imagination! Bed Bug traps are simply small insect traps, designed to catch bed bugs while they are crawling around, looking for their next food source. They crawl into these containers, get trapped, and stop the cycle of their reproducing all over your space. They are not an “all-in-one” solution that you are looking for. But they help stop the infestation from getting more and more out of control.Since many bed bug exterminators suggest these traps, we believe that they do work for you – to an extent. Obviously, you can only capture any bed bugs that are on the move, crawling to other destinations. You cannot effectively capture any bed bugs that are already at and in their destination – such as your bed. They are great for monitoring for active bed bugs after a treatment. And they can assist to a degree when waiting for a treatment.Different Types of Bed Bug TrapsDid you know that there are different types of Bed Bug traps? We didn’t! That is, until we got the low down from our bed bug exterminator. The wealth of knowledge that a professional bed bug exterminator has will save you time and money when it comes to dealing with bed bugs. Just pick up your phone and call them, instead of investing time and effort trying to research the topic of bed bugs on your own. They are more than happy to assist you!What we were told, by our exterminator, was that there are basically two types of bed bug traps available. Passive Bed Bug Traps and Active Bed Bug Traps. Here’s a run down on the difference between the two:Passive Bed Bug Traps are insect traps that are designed to catch the bugs during their movement to your couch, chairs, bed, etc. They are passive traps in that they do not kill the bugs or repel them. They simply act as a way to trapping them. You would want to place these traps on the path to the final destination (such as your bed posts). Bed Bugs do not fly or jump. They have to crawl to get where they intend to go. So sticky traps, that stick to the feet of your furniture and are sticky on the exposed surface, will trap the insect on its journey – intercepting it, you might say. If you think of the sticky flytraps, used to catch flying insects, they are very similar. Not so pretty, but they can work.Active Bed Bug Traps are, essentially, active. They have an active component to them. They are designed to draw and attract bed bugs towards them, trapping them inside and keeping them from travelling to your furnishings and mattress. The older versions of these traps emit carbon dioxide and heat to draw bed bugs towards them. The newer, more modern traps emit pheromones in addition. Again, both types of traps are designed to attract the insect. Once they are inside the trap, they cannot get back out due to the slippery, smooth, steep walls inside.How to Set Bed Bug TrapsBefore you place the bed bug traps, consider the nature of bed bugs. First, they crawl on surfaces. Secondly, they are seeking a destination point when they travel. And thirdly, they are seeking a food source.Bed bugs will be targeting your furnishings, such as couches, chairs, and beds. Furnishing you tend to sit or sleep on. You will want to place the bed bug traps at the access point, which is usually the legs or bedposts. The best starting point is most likely your bedposts. Bed bugs will tend to feed at night while you are resting. So placing the traps at each of the bedposts will catch them as they try to climb the posts to reach the mattress.We would also want to add an additional note right now. Some bed bug traps that are available allow you to use bait in the traps. We have been told to avoid these traps. Our Bed Bug Exterminator points out that these baited traps will also attract your pets. And never, repeat never, add pesticides to these traps. Pesticides are extremely harmful to both you and your pets. And you would never put pesticide in your bedroom, now would you? Absolutely not.Should you use Bed Bug Traps?Absolutely. In conjunction with hiring a professional bed bug exterminator. Traps are a temporary solution – not a long-term solution. Eliminating bed bugs is best accomplished with a full treatment. That is the only way to fully eliminate an infestation. Other treatments may work temporarily, but in the end, the infestations return.Your best bet in overcoming a bed bug infestation is always to hire a bed bug exterminator, such as our new friends at Professional Pest Management.Have we touched on this topic that interests you?

Cosmetic Options for Eye Brows Explained
Microblading, Eyebrow Tattooing, and Nano BrowsNo doubt, eyebrows make up a considerable part of your facial features, reaching up to 20%. Thus, they get noticed and if not in good shape can affect the overall look. To improve their appearance, various methods like eyebrow pencils, brushes and tattooing are available. Nowadays though, Nano Brow is gaining popularity as it helps give natural looking full brows without the fear of them smudging away.But first, lets review some of the different makeup technics that are also available.If you're new to permanent makeup, you may be unaware of why microblading differs from eyebrow tattooing. Even though microblading is a form of tattooing, there are numerous distinctions between the two.Microblading Uses Pigments Instead of InkTattoo artists utilize liquid ink for their artwork, while microblading artists use pigments. These pigments tend to lighten in shade rather than changing to a blue-green color, which is usually the case with tattoo ink. If you have noticed someone with oddly-shaped eyebrows that possess a bluish-green hue, it is likely they had them permanently tattooed -- something that was popular many years ago.Individual Strokes Vs. Tattooed Brow LinesThe approach employed by microblading artists differs from that of tattoo artists. Rather than having a single bold, dark brow, microblading produces multiple strokes resembling natural eyebrow hairs. These individual lines are only applied to the top layers of skin, unlike tattoos which penetrate more deeply.Micro-bladed Brows are Semi-Permanent NOT PermanentEyebrow tattooing is a permanent alteration to the brows, while microblading is less so. Microblading can last up to three years and allows more flexibility as it can be changed frequently in terms of shape and design.Microblading Healing Vs. Brow Tattoo HealingBoth procedures will take four to six weeks to heal and require a touch-up once the healing is complete in order to fill any gaps where the pigment or ink may not have taken. However, microblading can be more easily modified if you're unsatisfied with a line or stroke as opposed to tattoos.Now we have covered off the traditional cosmetic tattooing options for your brows.
