19 Vintage Advertisements That Wouldn’t Make Today’s Cut They say time heals all wounds, which is obviously apparent when you take a gander at some of these doozies from the past. Before anybody knew what a lawsuit was, these types of custom print advertisements were a part of many major company marketing platforms. Just be sure you don’t add them to your next brochure printing order. Can I also get you a foot-rub honey? Or maybe you would like me to pay off your credit cards, sports car and golfing membership for the next 20 years … Oh, please can I? Nothing like some words of encouragement…from a 2-year-old. This one is wrong on so many levels. You can’t buy this type of pride for 15 cents anymore. If vitamins did this, we’d all be walking around with Brad Pitts and Megan Foxes under our arm. 30 days? It wasn’t enough that movie actors and children had to get in on the fun of filtered cigarettes. Ah, stereotypes. What exactly were they going for with this expression anyway? …but obviously not the guy who forgot to bring his Cary Grant costume.

Here are 30 Habits That Will Change Your Life Developing good habits is the basic of personal development and growth. Everything we do is the result of a habit that was previously taught to us.

Our body and brain loves getting vegetables and fruit, so I highly recommend eating as much of them as possible. Fish is rich of omega 3 and other healthy elements. Same as above.

Revue archéologique de l'Ouest 82 Clever and Creative Fred & Friends Products I'm sure you've come across Fred & Friend products before at your local indie store and might not have even known it. Last weekend I was cruising around town and stopped at an indie store only to find one whole corner of the place dedicated to Fred & Friend products. It was heavenly. I stood there for probably more than a half hour laughing and checking out all their cool stuff. A lot of creativity goes into the making of these products, and I think part of that cleverness is shown in the name of the product and the slogan. It's really a hoot flipping through their catalog and I often find myself posing the question: "How in heavens name did they think of that?". Which one's your favorite? Disclaimer: the images you're about to view may not be suitable for all audiences. the OH! conversational paperclips the hot buttered desk accessory! there’s no esc for flies! bigger, better, louder, cooler who says dusting can’t be fun? we ALL need a foot in the door rude, chewed refrigerator magnets

Sunday Night Prep to Eat Clean All Week There is nothing easy about making most of your meals from scratch. I don’t care who you are, or how long you’ve been cooking and how much you love it, at the end of the day we all would love to put our feet up and have food delivered to our doorstep or swing through the drive-thru. You can always take that option, but who wants processed garbage full of artificial ingredients linked to diabetes, obesity, heart conditions, and more, when you can provide your family with wholesome, healthy, home cooked meals? And the best part, for me at least, is spending valuable time with my girls by giving them small tasks to help me, and teaching them all about healthy foods and why it’s important to eat them. Sunday night has become my prep night for the week. Before heading to the store I clean everything out. There are a few things I do to make the rest of the week easier when I’m putting away the groceries. Most of the recipes on this site can be made ahead and frozen.
