In these times that our global economy is struggling, many people are having second thoughts about going on vacation outside the country.

But it is a fact of life that every once in a while, we need to take a break from work and other things that can cause stress.  One of the best ways to take a break is to travel.

But despite the economic problems, there are really ways to get good vacation deals.

My best friend’s family looked up for all inclusive vacations to Caribbean and found an affordable one.  He said that the technique is to book early and during off peak seasons.  During these times, one can get cheap airfares and can book a vacation hotel for a lot less.

Another advice for traveling without hurting the pockets is to look for vacation homes instead of hotels.  Many people who have second homes have turned them into vacation homes for rent.

I guess the best advice I know is to have your vacation in a country where you have a friend who can share his place for free.  That way, all you need to spend for is airfare and maybe a little contribution on food and other petty expenses.

My research paper for my advertising class was to study a company with outstanding advertising.  When it comes to getting the job done in the advertising world, some companies know what they are doing and some companies just don’t.

My daughter is really growing up, and I’ve never been more terrified.  I just got off the phone with her, and she just got her first credit card in the mail.  She sent me a picture of it on her phone.  I understand that she’s so excited about it, but I really can’t help but be drastically worried.  She’s not ready for this responsibility.  She has five hundred dollars at her disposal; she could spend that in an hour and spend the whole summer paying it back.  This is just the beginning. 

Everyone knows how quickly they raise the limit on young people’s cards, just getting them to over spend and buy so many things they can never pay it back.  I keep getting fliers about debt consolidation loans and payday loans, bad credit and foreclosures.  Am I subjecting my daughter to all of this just by handing her a piece of plastic?  Will it make her irresponsible over night?  Will she change, or will it change her?  I know that this might be me transferring some issues that I have about her leaving for college onto an entirely different issue, but I am so scared.  She’s my baby girl, I just worry about her.

While hot tubs and spas seem pretty harmless, they are actually just as dangerous as swimming pools, carrying many of the same and a few different risks, and as such, it is important to follow safety precautions. Here are some safety tips:

• Just as with pool water, hot tub water can be a breeding ground for bacteria, so it’s important to maintaining the sanitizer and pH balance.
• Just as pools, spas pose a serious danger to small children. Never leave them alone, and always keep the spa covered and inaccessible to children when not in use.
• While hot tubs are usually significantly shallower than pools, there is still a serious risk of drowning for anybody, specifically because the drains are so powerful, people have been know to get their hair caught.
• o In order to make hot tubs safer, newer models have dome-shaped drain covers that decrease the risk of this happening. Older models can have the new drain covers installed.
• o Always have a manual power switch installed close to the hot tub and in plain sight.
• o It’s always best to use the hot tub with at least one other partner, in case of an emergency.
• It’s also even more imperative to drink alcohol responsibly and be cognizant of any prescription drugs one takes before or while in the hot tub, as the hot water amplifies the effects of alcohol and certain drugs.

Different types of hot tubs and spas-portable spas, for instance-require different precautions, so always consult the manual.

One thing that you will notice when you walk into my home is that it is different than most houses.  It isn’t because of the architecture or paint on the walls (in that respect my home is pretty plain), but rather our obsession with photographs.

Yes, I am a photographer.  I have been from a very young age, and I am the kind of person that is looking for photo opportunities wherever I go.

Specifically, I like to take pictures of people with my digital camera.  From that point on, there are many different things that I can do with the photograph to integrate it into our home.

For example, I have pictures on my walls in photo frames.  I also have some digital photo frames on the walls as well.  On my couch, you will find a photo throw blanket, one photo pillow (as I haven’t found a suitable match for the photo on the first pillow.

If you were to go into our bedroom, you will find a photo blanket on our bed.  In fact, we even have pictures on the wall in the bathroom.

So there you have it - a glimpse into my home photo gallery.
