Because You Deserve It…

I'm not sure if you celebrate Christmas, but it's one of my favorite holidays and I wanted to make this season special for you too this year. Christmas is a time of giving and even though I keep giving throughout the year too, this time of the year is my absolute favorite. Nine years ago, in December 2002, my nonprofit organization  JONA was born and 6 years ago, in November 2005, Mother's Centre "The Sun" was officially opened, both in Slovakia, heart of Europe. If you've been in my space for a while you know that I'm very passionate about making difference in the lives of families. With this year's growth that we've experienced at Magnetic Look, I decided to give back to my small business community. Which means that I'm about to make a difference in your business and life. Next Thursday I'm hosting a free teleclass where I'll take you BEYOND ...

Business in a Box

The short answer is “Because…”: Why I started a work-at-home business! At cocktail parties (not that we get out much after becoming parents), people ask me what I do and I explain, “I work from home doing what I love and raising my daughter.” I know I’m talking to a corporate captive when this answer gets the scrunched up face and the quizzical look that implies they think it’s a cover story for watching Oprah all day. Then they think about it and say something like, “I could never work from home. I would go crazy!” I take that to mean they spend most of their days socializing with coworkers and not actually doing any work (studies support me in this belief). The polite ones usually ask why I decided to do that – why take on the challenge of working from home AND raising a child. And thinking about it I realized ...

No More Pain in the Neck

Author: Jackie Silver, author of Aging Backwards: Secrets to Staying Young "Oh, my aching back." We've all heard - and probably said - those words more times than we care to remember. A report published in the British Journal, The Lancet, found that more than a quarter of Americans suffer daily pain. Here are some tips to help avoid that pain and to combat it when it does occur. Tips For Avoiding and Battling Pain 1) Lose weight. Carrying around too much weight puts pressure on the knees, back and all joints in general. Research shows that overweight women who lost just 10 pounds greatly controlled the increase of osteoarthritis of the knees. 2) Check your posture. When you're standing, distribute your weight evenly on both legs, tuck in your stomach, relax your shoulders and don't stand in one position for too long. When you're sitting, don't sit on the edge of your seat ...

Extraordinary Lifestyle

Author: Silvia Pencak There's a new trend out there. There are many people making big money online, living extraordinary lives and they all have something in common. People like Gary Vaynerchuk, Bernadette Doyle, Fabienne Frederickson, Yanik Silver, Carrie Wilkerson or Paul Evans have something in common. They all value personal growth, "me" time and their families. Even though they probably make more money than you right now, even though they live a different lifestyle than you do, they aren't that much different from you. They love their close ones, value their friendships, they even have their bad days. So what makes them different? I believe there are couple keys that can help you get more done, change your lifestyle and make your life easier. Let's mention the most important ones to help you get started. Mindset If you've been in my space for a while you know that I am not a fan ...

How To Be a Go-Getter

Author: Silvia Pencak "Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it. " Salvador Dali I know, I know... Nothing is perfect, it's just waste of my time, but what if I just can't help it? What if I really CAN do everything better than anyone else, what if I just add couple more sentences... and maybe find another picture... If you can't let go unfinished task, you can't trust other people's expertise and you can't sleep at night because there's still plenty of work waiting for you at your desk, in the kitchen or somewhere else, we need to "talk". Do not understand me wrong. I like job well done and I appreciate job well done, but striving for "perfect" will wear you down. Think for a minute. How much did you really get done today? And how about this week? This month? If you're ready to get more done, check ...

Living a Dream Life

Author: Silvia Pencak It's been a couple of weeks since we moved into our new house. Challenging as the move can be, I must admit that I'm loving our new place. View from our master bedroom (see the picture) is gorgeous! I feel like I'm still dreaming when I open my eyes in the morning. We always used to have small rooms, small space and it seems I became a master in making the most out of small spaces. But here I am in 4,000 sq. feet house with my kids telling their friends they must be princesses because they live in a real castle. Ha-ha. Next week we'll be celebrating 4 years since coming to Canada and unbelievable as it seems we're loving what we live. Does it mean that we are where we want to be? Does it mean that we've achieved all we wanted? Of course not! But we certainly ...

Why Would You Want To Live Longer?

Author: Dr. Daisy Sutherland Why does it seem that we are obsessed with living longer? Have you ever watched the infomercials out? They seem to all be targeted to losing weight, and looking younger!!! Do we really need the quick fix? Unfortunately it seems like we do...or one would think so because of all the commercials, infomercials and ads out on the market... What we should be concerned with is our health, not what we look like on the outside but what we are like on the inside... It may be wonderful to look thin and slim and wrinkle-free but truly how healthy are we? We need to worry about the food we eat and the amount...the types of food and the amount of exercise... That is truly the only way to stay healthy!! Sure, we want the quick fix, but honestly how long did it take for us to get to the weight that we are? ...

Organic sugar is still sugar…

Author: Susie Shina Food labels are killing me.  Organic, gluten-free, fat-free, low-carb, all-natural, added fiber, heart-healthy, calcium rich.  Everyone in the food industry has jumped on the ”healthy” bandwagon.  The new ‘health conscious’ labels make me feel better about what I’m eating… but should they?  I’ve been known to binge eat some healthy food.  I never feel bad about it because it’s healthy, riiiiight?!  Here are a few things to think about when eating your ‘healthy’ food… 1.  Organic sugar is still sugar.  Better for you in an ‘organic’ way BUT it’s still processed and has the same amount of non-organic sugar calories.  Lots of sugar can make you fat – organic or not. 2. Remember, food companies are trying to ’sell’ something.  If you’re trying to eat better, ’healthy’ labels are going to jump out at you.  Just because a juice container says it’s the equivalent of 8 servings of fruit does not mean it is better than eating actual fruit. 3.  If food is missing something (fat-free, sugar-free, ...

Should You Count Calories?

Author: Susie Shina I hate diets.  Diets are just a list of foods that people tell us not to eat.  Well, I want to eat whatever I want.  If I feel like having a mouth-watering, spicy Popeye’s fried chicken sandwich one day, what’s the big deal?  If I need a Dove sweet, dark and delicious chocolate bar, is it OK?  I gotta say – YES!
