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!

Five Important Life Lessons to Live By

     Today, I thought I would do something a little different.  Instead of discussing one topic, I thought I would share some life lessons based on my experience.  These nuggets of wisdom have helped me progress through life with an open, confident, and positive attitude.  I hope you benefit from them as much as I have.  Here are five important lessons to live by. 1. Speak up for Yourself      Far too many live in silence due to the fear of conflicting ideologies.  Because of this, they end up putting themselves second to other people, agreeing with them, and/or allowing themselves to be pushed around.  People can and will take advantage, and it is saddening to know there are people who allow this to happen.  Everyone deserves to be heard.  Do not be afraid to defend yourself or your opinions when need be just because it conflicts with another person.  They are not better than you nor are their beliefs.  ...

The Importance of Being Humble

     Where does the line between a healthy ego and cockiness lie?  Even with a healthy ego, when is the right time to show it?  Ego shows a level of self-confidence, but inflating it too much can have negative consequences.  Have you ever met someone who came off as cocky or all-knowing?  These people are often thought of as narcissistic, intimidating, and/or selfish.  There are many reasons why acting egotistical is often looked at negatively.  Someone who puts themselves on a pedestal usually ends up being less than average in whatever they are doing.  When making a mistake or questioned on their 'less than exceptional' performance, they will often look to place the blame on someone else.   They rarely take responsibility and, in many instances, believe they are superior to their peers, friends, and colleagues.  We all think this way from time to time, but there is a difference between thinking and verbally declarin...

Finding Your Creativity - 5 Methods

     Creativity is an invaluable resource and the backbone to human progression.   Every advancement made throughout human history was the result of someone’s creative and intellectual mind.   Planes, trains, and automobiles are great examples.   However, creativity is not used solely for the progression of mankind.   Creativity can also be used in an individual’s everyday life to make life easier and more enjoyable.   People use their creativity to solve problems, make their daily routine more efficient and less time consuming, as well as for entertainment purposes.   If you have ever made up a story in your head while bored you know what I am talking about, or if you played with action figures, inanimate objects, or roleplaying games.      As kids, we seem to have a limitless supply of creativity.   Much of that has to do with our curiosity, innocence, and lack of responsibility.   However, some ‘grow up’ a...
