Ways to a great smelling Home
ave you ever entered a room and your nose gets excited because of the truly incredible aroma that’s in the air? Well, there is no reason why your house shouldn’t have the same effect on family and friends. If you step inside your home after being on the road all day, and you distinctly smell Jimmy the cat, then you might want to consider these ‘scentastic’ home fragrances. These are great ways to ensure that you are greeted by a clean, fresh scent every time.
Candles Candles aren’t only for romantic pursuits and are one of the best ways to have your home smelling great. Scented candles come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and some can even fragrance an entire room all day. Ensure that you are at home when using candles, since they should never be left unattended, especially if you have a small child. Potpourri These not only serve as great decoration, especially for bathrooms, but give off truly fantastic scents. This can be store-bought or you can make your own by using dried petals and adding a touch of your favourite scent.
Reed diffusers These flame-free home fragrances are advertised as the best alternatives to candle. They work by placing reeds within a bottle of oil. They will then absorb the oil, bringing the fragrance to the surface of the reed, and then release great smells into your home.
Fabric refreshers If you have animals, especially cats and dogs, then this can go a long way in ensuring that your sofas, curtains and comforters don’t carry the scent of your favourite pet. Fabric refreshers, as the name infers, provide a fresh scent to fabrics that might collect odours, but that you don’t necessarily wash very often.

Simple home exercises to lose weight
Y
ou are probably worrying about some extra pounds you recently gained. Maybe that’s all you’ve been doing –worrying. Thinking about losing weight won’t actually get rid of the extra pounds; neither is sitting and watching Fit TV. Here are five creative ways to lose those extra pounds, quickly and easily. Join a dancing class You’ve probably been thinking that it’s time to find a hobby. Why not start dancing? That way, you will be able to get some exercise, while doing something you enjoy. Just imagine, staying fit and loving it. Walk, walk, walk How many times have you driven or taken a taxi somewhere, when you could probably just as easily have walked. Yes, it probably takes less time to drive, but imagine how good you’ll feel once you start losing that weight. Wii are getting fit! The Nintendo Wii Fit provides a creative way to lose weight, which is exciting and quite easy to do. You also get to see onscreen directions, while tracking your progress. Jazz up your household chores Ever considered incorporating a little excitement into your chores? Well, put some of your favourite music on, get moving and start dancing while you sweep, wash those dishes or do the laundry. You’ll enjoy it so much that you forget that you’re actually doing work. Multitasking Listen, it’s absolutely OK if you start doing some squats in the middle of your phone conversation with that special person, and it’s certainly not hard to do a bit of stretching while watching Bridget Jones’ Diary or any of your favourite programmes. It might seem minor now, but imagine the results if you do this every time you’re on the phone or watching TV. If you’re serious about losing those extra pounds, then nothing should stop you from making exercise and fitness a constant part of your daily living. Eating well is also important, since it helps to ensure that you’re not putting on the pounds, while you work to lose it. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see the pounds shedding immediately. With everything else, exercise takes dedication, time and consistency.

Things every woman should have in her bag
any women will agree that their handbag is like a mini convenient store, because within it you’ll find everything you will ever need. No one likes to be caught in a situation where they desperately need something and don’t have it. If you didn’t already know, there are some basic items that every woman should have in her bag at all times. We’ve compiled a list of five of the most important.
Wallet: money, identification, credit cards You never know what emergencies might befall you on any given day. These items can prove to be literal lifesavers in times of need, so ensure that you have them at all times.
Feminine hygiene products
Dental Floss/ Mini mouthwash/ Mints Lip Gloss and a pocket mirror No one likes dry chapped lips. A lip gloss or lip balm is the perfect remedy for that. Also ensure that you have a small mirror to check for food lodged between your teeth.

We all know that unattractive breath can be a deal breaker. If you decide to have garlic or onions for lunch, you can easily pop in a mint or swish some mouthwash around your mouth to fix that.
Hand sanitizer/ Kleenex Even before H1N1 was a threat, it was always important to have sanitizing agents with you at all times. You don’t know who touched the door you’ve just opened, or whether the public restroom has tissue.
This is really a no brainer for females everywhere. It is crucial that you are prepared for that visitor, who comes knocking way before you might expect. Avoid embarrassment and ensure that you are in a position to address the situation immediately.
