Keep Your Family Healthy With a Greenhouse

We have heard quite a bit of news, research, and medical studies lately telling us that genetically modified foods (GM) are bad for our bodies, and some studies even support that these foods cause cancer! With all of this being said, we -- the people -- need to take care of ourselves first, and stay away from GM foods. The best way we can do that is to grow our own foods that are not genetically modified.

Growing your own fruits and vegetables is actually quite easy with a ready to install greenhouse from Gothic Arch Greenhouses. Coming in a variety of shapes and sizes, Gothic Arch Greenhouses come in models that are for beginner-gardeners, as well as experts.

What sets Gothic Arch's greenhouse apart from the rest, is that they are designed to be easily delivered and set up wherever customers would like. These pre-fabricated greenhouses come with all of the necessary fixtures and extras that make gardening easy, including misting systems and lighting.

Antique Shopping in Historic Areas

There is something about antique shopping that brings you back to a simpler time, when life was slower and a little more empathetic. Whether you shop antique luxury furniture for the thrill of the hunt, for the obtainable bargains, or for the nostalgia, where you shop for antiques can delegate what exact treasures you will find.

It is often thought of that rural country towns and villages are more likely to have better antiques, because they could have possibly been stored away in this little town or shop for hundreds of years, the owners won't know its true value, and one will be able to get a better deal. While this can be true, there are also stories of mom and pop antique shops out in the country that sell antique reproduction furniture that looks old, but is just meant to look that way and drive a higher price from an untrained purchaser.

In that same right, in urban cities, you have an equally good chance of finding real true antiques, many of which are sitting in storage units in every populous city in America. These are where the true treasures hide -- where they have been forgotten, and are waiting to be rediscovered. For instance, a Manhattan storage unit might not be the place you would think of for finding an antique leather top desk, but in all actuality, Manhattan was once filled to the brim with these antiques. You just have to know that they were in nearly every office building in the city -- during the early 1900s. The trick is to simply search them out.

12 Step Programs Taking On New Drugs and Addictions

We now have a very different view on drugs and the war against them, than we had just several years ago. The recognition we have now made, is that simply criminalizing a drug -- and trying to keep people away from it -- is no longer the best option. What we must realize, is that there is a disconnect in the health and wellness of a majority of United States citizens. So many of our fellow peers get sucked into the plight of drugs and alcohol because they simply want, or need something, and drugs and alcohol are substances that we are using to fill this hole.

Drugs and alcohol don't have the ability to cure a health issue. Only the human body is able to cure itself of a disease. Granted, this cure can be stimulated by the presence of a drug in the body; it can even be stimulated by just thoughts, or the will to feel better.

Human beings that are ill, unhealthy, or have certain ailments, just want to feel better. Quite often, if a person is suffering for a very long time, and not receiving any help, they will take matters into their own hands and attempt to find ways to alleviate their pains through any possible means -- including drugs and alcohol. The drug policies in-place in the United States right now, state that a person -- no matter how mentally, physically, or emotionally sick they are -- has the right to possess, buy, or inquire about the purchase of drugs that they feel help them. Instead, they are simply called criminals. 

Calling someone with severe issues a criminal can be a bit harsh, especially when more tax dollars are spent every year punishing people for having drugs, than spent on helping these people who admittedly have problems! This is counter-productive, and the poor souls who are already suffering, are usually sentenced to more time suffering.

There is help for these individuals, though; help in the form of understanding and treatment. By offering 12 step recovery programs, drug rehab, counseling programs, and other pro-active and diversionary tactics, we can spend the same amounts of tax dollars getting these truly sick people the help they deserve, instead of locking them up with real criminals.

Custom Labels and Stickers

If you are anything like I am -- addicted to scrap-booking and crafts -- than you understand the sadness I feel every year at this time. The holidays are over, Christmas displays have given way to Valentines candies, and the craft stores are resetting themselves for the new year. All this makes me sad, because I wish it could be Christmas all year 'round. 

However, I do take some comfort in the knowledge that another Christmas is only a little over 300 days away. That is why, in the beginning of the new year, I resolve to keep plugging along with all of my arts and crafts projects as if it truly was Christmas every day. Since I am the only one on my own custom calender, finding all of the Christmas-themed items I need for my crafts can be somewhat of a challenge. I have found a great solution though that helps me get through the year. Frontier Label is an online company that provides custom labels and custom stickers all year 'round. I simply design the Christmas images I want to use, submit it online, and the custom stickers are shipped directly to me. It is fun and easy to use, and has actually given me a great creative edge in my scrap-booking.
