Surviving Cold Season

Hello Everyone,
     Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Olivia or “Liv” for short. I am Jared’s girlfriend and I am taking over his blog post today to tell you that I have some news... winter is coming... by winter I mean cold season. Everyone hates getting sick, but there many ways that you can prevent it. If you follow some of these tips and tricks you can increase your chances of surviving the cold season.
Improve Immune System:  A weak immune system will not help your chances of getting sick. There are plenty of things that you can take to improve it.

1. Sambucol – A black elderberry syrup that can help your immune system. I try to take it throughout the year to prevent sickness or if I feel a cold coming on.

2. Emergen C – Similar to Sambucol, Emergen C is another immune system booster. If you find yourself traveling a lot during the cold season, I would definitely suggest taking some Emergen C before you get on your flight/enter the airport. As everyone knows, the airport is filled with germs and many people tend to get sick when traveling.

3. Taking Vitamin C – Another way to support your immune system is by taking vitamin C. You can obtain vitamin C through various fruits and vegetables. Personally, I drink some orange juice with my breakfast in the morning.


4. Apple Cider Vinegar Tea – I swear by this stuff! I will warn you that it does have a bitter taste, but as my mom would say the medicines that taste bitter tend to make you feel better. This tea is very simple to make, all you need is lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and some raw honey. You can pretty much google any recipe, I like to use the one on allrecipes.com.


Keep your hands clean: When you think about it, we use our hands for everything; opening doors, shaking hands, giving hugs, etc. This is a simple task for sure, but it can go a long way. Washing your hands with some warm water and soap kills germs. If you work in an office, you should know that germs spread like crazy. I suggest keeping a bottle of hand sanitizer and try to use it between washes.

Avoid sick people: This is obviously easier said than done, but try to keep a distance from people who are sick whether it's at work or at home.



Exercise/Plenty of Sleep: If it’s one thing that Jared has told me, it’s essential to stick to your exercise routine when you are sick. Also, getting around 8-9 hours of sleep can be helpful to your health in general.

     Let’s face it getting sick is inevitable and can be unpredictable.  It’s important to take precautions to keep ourselves and those around us healthy.  I hope you enjoyed these tips, and may you have a sick-free winter season!

The Importance of Giving PT.2 - the Dos and Don'Ts

     Should we expect to be praised for our deeds or to receive nothing in return?  Does ego play a role in generosity or is humbleness a necessary mindset?  A year ago, we talked about the importance of giving and how beneficial it is to both the giver and the receiver (Link here if interested:  https://scanlonblogs.blogspot.com/2018/11/blog-8-giving.html ).  We also talked about how happiness comes from giving and helping others and how material wealth only goes so far.  What we did not discuss is what we should anticipate and the proper way to behave throughout the process.  The art of giving involves understanding the dos and don'ts based on the situation at hand.  Not every instance of generosity will include the same factors as the previous one.      Do you believe kindness should be met with a reward?  I personally believe it depends on the situation, but we should never expect to be rewarded.  If you give money to a homeless man, your act of kindness may not lead to anyt

Three Life-Long Lessons to Remember #2

     Do you need a reminder of what is important in life?  How about the proper way to handle a situation when feeling angry or stressed?  If so, you have come to the right place.  If you know these bits of information already, just remember its important to be reminded every now and again.  So, without further adieu, here are three life-long lessons to remember #2. 1. Money Isn’t Everything      Wouldn’t it be nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?   The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never experienced before.   What would you do with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job?   When this type of pleasure flows over you, the possibilities feel endless.   No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while.   Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom.   Having money is great, but what are you going to do with your money and newly acquired spare time?      We need

How Fate and Personality Intertwine

     We are born with a unique personality which is then shaped by the environment we grow up in, but how does this play a role in what we call fate?  Our personalities determine our likes, dislikes, thoughts, opinions, and the choices we make throughout our lives.  We consider fate to be events beyond our control.  We often believe what transpires from these events is supposed to happen without our knowledge and are determined by the universe.  However, I believe our unique personalities intertwine with fate.  Our personalities shape us into who we are and determine how we handle life events.  Fate, in my opinion, is the initial event that we cannot control.  What happens afterward is determined by our personality and the paths we choose to walk.      What if a nuclear apocalypse decimated the world today and you were one of the survivors?  How would you deal with the aftermath, and would you consider these choices fate?  Based on my view, the event itself, the dropping of the bo
