A cozy place!

I know that when people go on vacation they want good weather. The beach is the perfect place to go, no matter what the weather is like. If it is nice outside then great, you can go for a walk on the beach or fly a kite or do many different things outside. If it is raining and stormy then you could go to a coffee house near the ocean and watch the waves, or stay in and make some food and listen to the rain hit the roof . The beach is the coziest place I have ever been and it is one of my favorite destinations.

Portion Control!

Food is amazing and we all need it to live. When we eat, we should be careful about what we eat and also how much we eat. Portion control is a big part of staying healthy, and the reason people are over weight is because they keep eating more when they don't need to. Our bodies need many different types of foods throughout the day, but there is a certain amount that we don't need to go over. A way to cut back on how much you eat and still stay full throughout the day is to eat 6 smaller meals instead of 3 heavy meals.

Rewards Programs!

In today's economy it is a good idea to enroll into a " Rewards Program." You can do it with airlines, hotels, grocery stores, etc. You get points when you purchase something with the company and after a bit your points really start to rack up. You can exchange your points for airline miles, free nights at different hotels, food discounts and more. When I was traveling a lot around the United States for work, I enrolled in a number of rewards programs which have really paid off. It is free to join, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Look for coupons!

Every week the Sunday paper is filled with different ads that have a variety of coupons. Believe it or not, they are actually really good deals and you can save a lot of money using them at different stores. Fred Meyers also puts out a weekly paper with different coupons for items in their store. It usually comes out on Sunday as well and it is good for the entire week. Don't be hesitant about using coupons, because most people do it. Take a little time and cut out the one's that you might use and then when you go shopping you will see how much you can really save.

Drink Tea!

Tea is one of the best beverages you can drink. It is so healthy for you and it is known as the, " wonder drug." Tea is prepared from linder leaves, leaf buds and tender stalks of different varieties of the warm weather evergreen known as camellia sinensis. There are many different types of tea and they are all good for you in different ways. Drinking tea can : help prevent blood clotting, help stimulate the immune system, help neutralize enzymes that aid in the growth of tumors, help lower cholesterol levels, and help deactivate cancer promoters. There is never really a bad time or setting to drink a cup of tea. It is very relaxing for your body and also very soothing on your throat. I try to drink tea as much as possible and my favorite time to drink it is when I am reading or writing.

Variety!

There are so many things to do in this world. Don't let yourself get into a boring routine and do the same thing all the time. Life is wonderful and it should be filled with variety. I am always doing something and I make sure that it usually has some sort of variation. I will never do something the same, because I find it boring. I like to spice things up and add excitement to them. Trying something new is one of my favorite things to do because I don't know what to expect. I can let my mind wonder however it wants to.
Try to find some variety in your life. It is very easy to do, go to a different restaurant, make a different food dish at home, try a new type of coffee, sleep on the other side of the bed, switch up your workout routine, watch a scary movie instead of a funny one. I could go on for hours about different types of variety, but I hope that everyone can find it in their lives to switch it up a bit and keep it interesting.
