9 Secrets To The Perfect Home Office

Are you more productive from an office or from your own home? This has been an ongoing debate for some time. Still, there’s something to be said about working from your home.

According to a recent study published in the Harvard Business Review, people who work from home are more productive than people who work from an office as long as they work the same office schedule. Although this may seem hard to believe, many employees consider the office environment a constant distraction. The silence and privacy that your home provides can be a great asset when it comes to increasing your productivity.

Many freelancers state that working from home provides them the freedom to create and shape their workspace to their own needs. This is fantastic when you consider that now, more than ever, businesses and companies value the creativity of their employees. Increasingly, consistent creativity is being prized over many other qualities.

The first step to creating your own home office is to think like a mouse and find the quietest corner you can. When working, try to get away from small distractions: children, TV, your dog, the fridge…the list goes on. Once you find the right place, all you need to do is to follow the tips we offer you today. Ready to be productive?

9 Mistakes That Are Ruining Your Morning

Are you craving your bed even though it’s barely 10 AM? It’s likely you’re committing these 9 mistakes that will definitely put a damper on your workday.

Boost your productivity and earn that long weekend with these expert-approved tips designed to supercharge your mornings.

Starting your day on the right side of the bed, so to speak, will set you up for success and productivity all day long. If you’re feeling tired and fed up only a couple of hours into your workday, you probably have some bad habits that are making you feel that way!

To ensure you enjoy your time at work and improve your productivity, it’s important to establish a healthier pre-work routine.

Yep, you read that right. Just like you get ready for bed, you need to get ready for work in a healthy way that will set you up for success.

If you do sleep enough, try squeezing in a bit of healthy exercise. This can be anything from a couple of minutes of meditation to a full-blown workout sesh.

Once at work, organize your mornings for effectiveness and productivity. Check out today’s infographic for all the info you need to boost your workday morning!

Bug Infestation Averted: Tips For Naturally Repelling Bugs

Dealing with household pests can be one of the most unpleasant (and for those who fear bugs, terrifying) experiences a homeowner or tenant can face. What makes it even worse is the knowledge that oftentimes the same chemicals that you use to kill bugs could cause health risks for you, your children, or your pets. That’s why some people are turning to natural fixes to get rid of their bugs- without the complications.


Finding pests, such as termites, can be half of the battle. If you don’t want to have to go on a bug-finding, search and destroy mission, you can use these methods to repel bugs so they never turn up in the first place.

For example, if you’ve got an ant infestation, try a peppermint spray. Use water, witch hazel, and peppermint oil in a spray bottle and spray it around entry points where ants could be getting in. For bed bugs, diatomaceous earth is an easy natural fix – you can just buy a large bag at any home goods store and sprinkle it around affected areas.

Of course, for more serious infestations you may still need to consult a professional, but hey! By trying these natural fixes first, you could save money and avoid filling your home with toxic substances.

The Crazy History (And Future) Of WiFi

Have you heard about the new Wi-Fi 6? Take a look at the history of WiFi and see the possibilities the future holds.

It wasn’t that long ago that we could only access the Internet as long as nobody was talking on the phone. Fast-forward a couple decades later and we’re all carrying one –or more- smartphones as if they were another limb.

Technology is here to stay, and more than 90% of American households have at least one device connected to the internet. In fact, most homes have around 25 smart devices connected to their networks. By 2022, the typical American home will have around 50 smart devices, all hooked to the internet.

If you thought your good ole’ router would still be up for the task in a couple of years, think again. Most homes have routers from 2008 and later. This means, you probably already have WiFi 4 and Wifi 5.

The problem with that is there are only so many devices it can support, and the more devices connected, the slower it gets. But there’s an answer: Upgrade to WiFi 6.

In November 2018, the WiFi Alliance (yes, that’s the actual name) unveiled their new tech. WiFi 6 improves wireless efficiency in your home network, allowing for multiple sources to simultaneously handle streaming while working with even more data.

Want to know more? Today’s infographic will take you from the dark past of the internet to the bright future…powered by WiFi 6, of course.

Halloween By The Numbers

Halloween is a season for all ages.  Make a statement with costumes, pickup some treats for the kiddo. This holiday never gets boring.

The origin of the holiday comes from the night before the Christian day, All Saints’ Day or All Hallows’ Day. This is a day to commemorate the saints of the church, those who are known and those who are not known. The name Halloween derives from All Hallow’s Eve (the night before All Hallow’s Day), which in Scottish eve is even, and is often contracted to e’en or ‘een’. The reason for the ghouls and the skeletons is because this is the final night they have before they’re scared away by the saints.

It’s a great tradition for young children to get out and about and meet new people, greet neighbors and learning about dealing with strangers.

Despite Halloween only being one day a year, there is a huge market and the sheer numbers are staggering. With the holiday being celebrated internationally and an impressively high uptake, a significant amount of money is spent for Halloween and plenty of time is used carving pumpkins, decorating houses.

Find out where the focus is in today’s infographic.

Why Impostor Syndrome Is No Fake

Many people, particularly as they embark on a new career, degree, or another form of activity, feel unsure and insecure about their abilities. To a certain degree, that’s perfectly normal and healthy–after all, no one has it all figured out right away, and humility can be useful for personal growth. However, if you find yourself questioning your judgment all of the time, or assuming other colleagues know everything you don’t, you may be suffering from Impostor Syndrome.


The key tenet of those suffering from impostor syndrome is the fear that they will be “found out”; that someday, someone will figure out that they’re a fraud and that they’re faking it. Of course, this fear is illogical, even more so because so many people suffer from it. Impostor Syndrome is rooted in the idea that everyone else is the ‘real deal’, but chances are, most people around you feel equally ill at ease.

There are a few flavors of Impostor Syndrome, so to speak. The “perfectionist” sets impossibly high standards and criticizes themselves for failing to meet them, while the “expert” feels like they have to know everything. The “superwoman/man” (and women are more likely to feel like impostors in male-heavy spaces) think they should excel at everything, while the “soloist” thinks they should do it all themselves. Then there’s the “natural genius” who thinks everything should come easily or it doesn’t count. Of course, these are all illusions, and recognizing them as such is the first step to owning your successes.

How Adding Video To Your Campaign Will Boost Your ROI

It’s official: you need video to stay on top of your marketing game in 2019. Are you doing it right? Here’s everything you need to know.

Marketing trends come and go, and it looks like video is one of the lucky few that are here for the long haul.

In fact, more and more consumers report that they prefer video to other kinds of advertising. Sharing and liking a video has become more common than doing so with a regular post.

In fact, many companies have boosted their conversion rate just by adding video content, and 75% of Instagram users have clicked on a company’s link after watching a video.

This means that this is a way of communication that cannot be overlooked. From live streaming to Q&A sessions and even IGTV, video is here to stay.

Even Google is acknowledging it, making video more searchable using closed captions and voice recognition.

Whether its virtual reality or adding stories to your marketing strategy, to achieve continuous growth it’s important to incorporate video into your social media outreach campaigns.

Want to know more? Check out today’s handy infographic with all the stats you need to know to make video a key element of your next campaign.

40 Ways Dogs Are The Ultimate Companion For Kids

Dogs have long been known as man’s best friend.  And what about kids? They can keep kids from crying, make them laugh, fetch toys, follow them around as personal chaperones, do sniff health checks, and protect babies even if it means risking its own life.

In return, kids have a reliable and true friend who is a non-judgmental listener, always willing to offer company, someone to share interests and activities. Dogs do all that and much more. They teach children about empathy, how to cope with stressful situations, learn and explore the world through touch, develop emotional intelligence and how to enjoy the world around them.

That’s not all though. Research has shown that babies who grow up around dogs are much healthier due to stronger immune systems. Furthermore, since a dog’s saliva is antibacterial, therefore, they keep babies free of germs simply by licking them or kissing them.

So, go ahead and discover all the ways a dog can be a companion for child.   A dog will never ask for any compensation in exchange for being with a child, except for maybe a big hug.  While you wouldn’t be leaving your dog alone with a baby, dogs do provide great company.

The Secret To Using LinkedIn For Your Small Business

Tattoos have always been a slightly taboo form of art, but maybe that’s one of the reasons that we love them so much. From celebrities to your family members, odds are you know somebody who has at least one. You may even be thinking about getting one yourself. If so, here’s what you need to know before your first tattoo.


Around 40% of adults in the U.S. aged 26-40 have at least one tattoo, and that number increases every year. While still a touchy subject in some circles, tattoos are becoming more and more common. Even in the workplace, some businesses are starting to lighten up on their tattoo policies. The acceptance of this form of art may be slow going, but who knows? Maybe someday tattoos will be viewed as casually as makeup!

If you’re thinking of making the leap and getting your first tattoo, then it’s worth reading up on them a bit first to know what you’re getting into. Knowing how to take care of your new tattoo as well as knowing exactly what you want, are both very important. For example, if you’re worried about pain you may want to do some research into what spots to avoid when deciding your new tatt’s placement.

To get you started, here are 13 stats to know about tattoos in the U.S.

The Weirdest Mythical Creatures That Live in Your Home

At some point in our lives, we were all interested in mythical creatures and folklore. No? Well, maybe it was just me… Anyhow, I just can’t stop thinking and reading more about it! It’s quite interesting when you go deeper into the history behind these folklore creatures.

The cute depictions of these fascinating folklore creatures are amazing! I think I may have even seen a Matagot while visiting Paris on my vacation… Well, maybe it was just a stray cat, who knows really, but the properties of a Matagot seem to bear more good news than bad news. At least that much is nice!

I am interested though, what are your experiences with mythical creatures? I’ve heard the Icelandic people believe in elves… Do you believe in these interesting myths? Perhaps it’s just my childish mind, but man oh man is it fascinating to read about all these unique little fella’s. Though, some of them don’t seem “little” per se…

The most interesting looking one would probably have to be the Boggart from English Folklore. Look at it! It’s like Bigfoot! Except somehow it’s not in American folklore. Hey, maybe that just further proves the existence of Bigfoot… Who knows? I really don’t.

Taking The Mystery Out Of Spices

Cooking can seem like a mysterious venture for the uninitiated, and nothing causes more head-scratching for beginner cooks than spices. What goes together? How do you know how much to use? Often it can seem easier to just buy a pre-mixed blend, but those are usually more expensive, less fresh, and contain more preservatives and artificial flavors than the raw ingredients.


Luckily, it’s not hard to get to know which spices work. Of course, the only way to find out what you like–and to fix most, common cooking mistakes–is to keep practicing and taste at every step. Remember, it’s a lot easier to add more in than to take flavors out.

While you can mix together whichever spices you like, there are a few classic blends that everyone should know how to whip up. For a great pizza or pasta sauce, make an Italian blend with basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Or, on the sweet side of the spectrum, mix up some pumpkin pie spice with cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. You can say goodbye to expensive pumpkin spice lattes (and cakes, and muffins, and everything else) and use your homemade blend all autumn long.

The When And Why Of Cheese Knives

What’s your favorite type of cheese? There are so many to choose from, it might be too difficult to decide on just one. If you love cheese as much as I do, you’ll want to know everything to possibly maximize your eating experience.

This ranges from how to cook with different types of cheese all the way down to the smallest details, like which type of knife is best to use with the different kinds of cheese.

I’m constantly on the lookout for new things to learn about cooking and food. That’s why I was delighted and surprised to come across this infographic about the different ways to use specific cheese knives. I’d never even thought to use a different knife to slice cheddar than I would to dig into a wheel of brie.

Not only does using the right knife make slicing cheese easier and safer for you, but it also ensures that the cheese slices will look better because the cut is smoother. If you want to host a fancy dinner party, or if you want to sit at home and eat a block of cheese in your pajamas (no judgement) now you’ll know which type of knife to use to enhance either experience.

How To Become A Google Power User

Ahhhhh the secrets of search. These simple shortcuts can help you step up your Google game tremendously. I learned almost every one of these hacks during college. I’ve written hundreds of pages of reports and have used google to research thousands of different things. Utilizing these tools create a much easier way to navigate the web.

One of my favorite tricks for finding topical titles is to use the ‘intitle’ option. This search operator enables you to search for general words in the article and at the same time searching for a specific word in the title. Researching specific years of a companies history? Recipe substitutes? It’s so versatile.

As a marketing student during college I ended up researching a lot about local businesses. Using the ‘Location:’ search operator was a god send. Digging through sales history, or company growth was so much easier when unneeded geography was cut out.

Finally, the asterisk. The asterisk helps you when you have what I like to call a ‘brain fart’. Putting an * in place of a word you can’t remember. It’s wonderful when looking up lyrics or any titles. I * you guys learn a few time saving tricks from today’s graphic!
