It’s time to plant seeds of bluebonnets!

For best results in spring, lightly till or rake the soil to be planted, and distribute the seeds as evenly as possible.

I honestly do not have any preference between flowers, but…

the wild, spontaneous and free, enthuses  my soul!

If this never happened to you, maybe your soul needs to bloom.

I am sure of one thing: a smile speaks the same language all over the whole world…

And until today I have never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful, but…

I still love the idea of these packets that cleanse the mouth, freshen breath and whiten teeth! ♥

The dentist who invented it says they also prevent stains.

I think it’s super convenient to always have them on hand  in my purse.

Especially if you’re like me and love very strong coffee, chocolate, grape juice, pasta with plenty of tomato sauce…

All these delicacies stain teeth… (my dentist told me)

I know it is expensive to pay $ 20 to $ 32 for these envelopes. (At QVC.com, you can buy 24 units for $16 ).

“All toothpastes and whiteners contain effective ‘hydrogen peroxide’, the best teeth whitener.” (via: Dr.Irwin Smigel DDS, New York, creator of “SUPERSMILE”)

If you think it’s too expensive you can do the following to get similar results:

Put a little baking soda  and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide on your toothbrush!

But ask your dentist first, because if you have gum problems it may not be the best thing and he may advise against it.

I know that those who have gingivitis can do teeth whitening before treating the problem. (Words of my dentist and periodontalist here in Houston).

Either way smile! Your teeth need sunlight and smiles increase our face value.

You may already know this if you have been watching the local news…

I was very happy when I heard that the government gave our County 5 million U.S. dollars to help families who still live in houses painted with lead.

These houses will be replaced with ALL new wood, will be painted, and all without any expense to the resident.

Whether you are the owner or tenant, you will not have to pay a penny. It’s all is FREE.

The requirements are these:

1 – Lived in the house since before 1978.

2 – Children living in this house at least 60 hours per year.

3 – Annual income of not more than $ 33,000 (family of 4 ).

If this is your situation or know someone who fits it, just call 311 and someone will visit you and start the process.

Hundreds of children have learning difficulties and are sick because they have lived with lead. (Annual Statistics)

How do some people stand out as much in almost anything they choose to do?

It is those personality traits that we take to the professional area that can be a great help or a hindrance.

For some it is easy to assimilate positive things and fundamental values ​​of work and it comes naturally.. to others these ‘people skills’ are something that take some energy and effort.

But be sure of this: people like what is genuine and honest. Without a doubt.

Trying to represent professionally what you are not in personal life can turn into disaster.

The truth comes out one way or another.

Because good business is based on trust.

So let your customers know who you are from the beginning (without talking about yourself, because this is unbearable).

Do this:

1 – Decorate your office or workplace with tasteful pictures and slogans that reflect your hobbies, interests or significant events.

2 – Talk about hobbies and interests (with customers or coworkers) only at breaks. Better yet, invite them to join you from time to time.

3 – Bring a treat to clients or colleagues to celebrate a major achievement (or birthday).

4 – Use your favorite color in meetings or special events. Make it “your” signature color. “:-)

5 – Send cards and personal notes (handwritten) whenever possible.
