Organize Your Leftover Containers in Four Easy Steps!
by Monica Resinger
_http://homemakersjournal.com_ (http://homemakersjournal.com)

It was time to organize my leftover containers that are kept in a kitchen
cupboard on a slide out shelf. I didn't realize how long it had been since the
last time I did this until I got to the bottom of the shelf and found things
I'm ashamed to tell. I will tell you that there were containers I had
forgotten I had because they were buried so deep.

How could this be useful?! Really, the only use it had was to barely store
my leftover containers; 'barely' meaning each time I'd open the door,
something would fall out. I had to ask myself 'why would I need 250 containers?!'
Just joking, it wasn't that much, but it was too much. Here's how I got this
cupboard in shape in four easy steps:

1. I took everything out of the cupboard. This is a cupboard close to the
floor so I sat on the floor and took them out and set them around me on the
(clean) floor. When the shelf was cleared out, I vacuumed it and wiped it off.

2. From the lids and containers on the floor, anything I didn't use or want
anymore either went into the trash or into a bag to be donated to the Goodwill
depending on if it was still useful or not.

3. With what was left, I matched containers with lids. Each container I
found that still had a lid (don't ask me where the others went!), I'd set back
into the cupboard and each lid went into a square plastic organizer to hold
them; this way the lids would still be in with the containers, but not all
scattered around. I stacked the containers according to their size and shape.

4. I threw away the remaining disposable lids and containers (yogurt, sour
cream, margarine, etc.) that didn't have a match and donated any good, no match
lids or containers to the Goodwill; I'm sure they'll find a match for them.

Complete in four easy steps! Now when I open that cupboard, the containers
don't come falling out and I can easily find the container I need. It is a
great feeling to have them organized (for a change).

Floral Ideas For Christina Aguilera's Chanukah Celebration

Article Description:
====================

Though she's not Jewish, pop star Christina Aguilera married
Jordan Bratman in November of 2005 in a wedding ceremony that
included traditional Jewish elements. Because of her husband's
Jewish heritage, Aguilera's holiday celebrations are sure to
include Chanukah. If that's the case, she'll probably be
visiting her florist for some help with beautiful Chanukah
decorations.

Floral Ideas For Christina Aguilera's Chanukah Celebration

Though she's not Jewish, pop star Christina Aguilera married
Jordan Bratman in November of 2005 in a wedding ceremony that
included traditional Jewish elements. Because of her husband's
Jewish heritage, Aguilera's holiday celebrations are sure to
include Chanukah. If that's the case, she'll probably be
visiting her florist for some help with beautiful Chanukah
decorations.

Chanukah, or the Festival of Lights, commemorates the Jews'
victory over Greek persecution. The Menorah is probably the most
commonly recognized symbol of the celebration. When the Maccabees
who led the war against the Syrians took back the Temple, they
were running low on oil for lighting the Menorah there""they had
just one flask. That single flask of oil kept the Menorah lit for
eight days, which was a miraculous feat. Because of this,
Chanukah is celebrated for eight days.

If you're planning a Chanukah celebration this year, the Society
of American Florists (SAF) offers these great tips for making
your celebration elegant and memorable for you and your guests:
* Contact your florist for an arrangement in the traditional
Chanukah colors of blue and white. Use the arrangement as a
centerpiece or place it near the entryway to your home to greet
guests.
* Place fresh evergreen bows around the menorah.
* Display candles throughout your home to add warmth and
elegance. Some places you might use them are along walkways, on
the mantle, floating in crystal bowls with flowers, and in powder
rooms.
* If your party will be a large one, consider using a few large
flower arrangements instead of many small ones. Doing so will
ensure they aren't "lost" in the room and create extra space
for dinnerware and food.
* Place a vase of loose stems near the door and ask your guests
to take one as a memento when they leave.

As Christina Aguilera prepares to celebrate her second Chanukah
with husband Jordan Bratman, she's probably thinking of ways to
make the season a memorable one. Beautiful Chanukah flowers are
an excellent way to spread the beauty and joy of the celebration
throughout the home.

Change Your Approach

Article Description:
====================

The working world has changed dramatically over the past couple
of years. There are fewer positions and more jobs being sent
overseas. It can seem like your skills need updating sooner, and
that's because they do. A global economy means change happens
quickly. You can't sit back anymore and hope that change will
not find you; because it will.

Change Your Approach

Wouldn't it be easier if your career could magically improve on
its own?

The working world has changed dramatically over the past couple
of years. There are fewer positions and more jobs being sent
overseas. It can seem like your skills need updating sooner, and
that's because they do. A global economy means change happens
quickly. You can't sit back anymore and hope that change will
not find you; because it will.

If you are struggling in your career and the uncertainty is
getting to you, you can do something about it. You can't always
alter your circumstances, but you can modify how you deal with
them.

So, How Do You Change Your Approach? Follow These Four Steps
Below:

1. Stop Thinking You Know It All

One of the top challenges my clients face is themselves. I make a
suggestion and they tell me why it won't work. And this is
before they even try it. Getting older is a good thing; with it
comes knowledge and experience. Getting older hurts you when you
believe you've "been there, done that" and you haven't. The
next time you tell yourself that something cannot be done,
inquire "do I know that to be 100% true?" If the answer is no,
don't discard the idea. It may be the answer you are seeking.

2. Find Out Where You Fit

Clarity and confidence come from knowing the facts. Let's say
you want to switch jobs. Spend time researching the possible
places where your skills are needed. Find out what companies in
and out of your industry, are looking for, and assess where you
fit. Look at your resume and compare it to what those companies
want. If you see that you don't have a particular skill, do not
use that as a reason to stop. Take a class or read a book to get
up to speed. There is always a place you can go to learn more if
you want to.

When you want to adjust the direction your career is taking, you
don't always get a guarantee upfront that it will work. What you
do get is a feeling in your stomach that says you are headed in
the right direction. If you can combine what feels right, with
good information, that's when you will be successful.

3. Make A Plan

Yes, you may want your career to be different overnight, but
that's not how things work. All great things in your career will
not happen on their own. You need a plan which will help you take
a bigger goal and break it into smaller pieces.

All plans have three pieces: 1) What you want; 2) How you will
get what you want; 3) Your projected completion date. The more
you clearly define what you want, the faster you will reach your
goal. Once you have clarity, write down the steps to make your
goal happen. Then, give yourself a deadline. Most people work
best when the pressure is on, so give yourself one to motivate
yourself through the process.

4. Reach Out

It's OK to ask for help. It takes a strong person to ask for
assistance. If you are worried that someone might not want to
help you, let him or her tell you that. Don't assume that anyone
will think less of you for opening up and sharing that your
career might not be going as well as you'd like at the moment.

Your career can span thirty, forty, fifty years or more, so
there's a good chance you'll hit a bump in the road at some
time and will need some assistance. Just like you would help
someone who came to you, let other people return the favor.

So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might
as well be a life you love!
