Feng Shui, Flooring and Your Living Space

The feng shui expert will analyze all aspects of your home or property but there are several key areas to focus on and the entrance/foyer area of the home or business is at the top of the list.

The flooring in this key area must be fluid and create an immediate sense of depth. Your visitors will naturally feel drawn into your entrance hall. The flooring in the foyer should never dramatically change color or pattern but have a continuous fluid appearance.

Next we look at flooring and room compatibility, which considers the size and shape of the room and ceiling height. Rooms with vaulted or high volume ceilings where the wall color is light can benefit from darker shades of flooring. A darker flooring color anchors the energy in the room and will create an atmosphere of balance and stability. Sometimes people will not gather for long periods of time in a room where the the space feels empty and hollow. Architecturally, when this is the case the flooring choice can compensate for this.

Lighter shades of flooring with minimal design are the most suitable for smaller spaces or lower ceilings.

Split-levels or disjointed floor plans will benefit the most by using one color of flooring. In feng shui, we correct problematic floor plans that may lack flow by carrying one or two design elements throughout the house to create continuity and flow.

Flooring choices have a tremendous impact on the feng shui of a home or business. The flooring must never dominate the space but be compatible with the room. Using natural materials and color choices that represent nature is a trend that is growing. People don't grow tired of a natural palette and they like feeling more connected to the natural world.

Flooring must suit your lifestyle; if you have a high traffic environment durable low maintenance flooring is the best feng shui choice. Feng shui aims to create harmony and a high maintenance flooring choice with growing children in a home will have an impact on your daily life. Commercial grade carpets are designed so beautifully now I think they make a great choice for flooring in a home where there is a lot of traffic

In House Maids - The Ultimate In House Help

Many people have maids who come in once a week, or at some
other arranged interval, to help clean their home. Others prefer to have a in
house maid available every day.
A lot of people feel that it is impossible to
have a live-in maid because of the huge expense that comes along with having
one. This is simply not true. If you have a large enough home to accommodate an
extra person, then a live-in maid could actually reduce your cleaning costs.
Half, if not more, of a live-in maid's salary is paid not monetarily, but by
providing them a room, paying utilities, and sometimes providing food.

There is an increased amount of flexibility in having a
live-in maid as opposed to one who lives out. A live-in maid can handle a lot of
the daily tasks, such as picking up around the house or cooking meals for the
family. You can also choose to assign additional projects as needed, such as
polishing silverware or re-arranging kitchen cabinets. Plus the fact that they
are available every single day, not just on certain occasions.

Being a live-in maid is an ideal situation for a lot of
people who are moving to a new area. Becoming a live-in maid provides them with
a place to stay which they otherwise may not be able to afford. Often, the
family will become very close to the maid and keep in touch even if they move on
to other things. Single parents are especially amicable to this type of
situation because it can be very difficult to afford room and board for two
people (the parent and child) on one person's salary alone. In addition, this
type of situation can allow them to stay at home with their own child while
earning a living.

There are disadvantages to live-in maids, both for the
maid and the employer. For the maid, it is often long hours. There are usually
no benefits like health insurance. Some families can be unbearable to work for,
treating the maid as more of a servant, and this can be difficult to get away
from if you are counting on them for your living situation. For the employer,
they must be wary of untrustworthy people who may try to steal from them. Also,
if the maid gets hurt during their employ, the homeowner can be held liable for
medical bills and other expenses related to the injury.

Anyone considering becoming or hiring a live-in maid
should do research to educate themselves on the topic. Consider speaking to
others in similar situations that have been or used a live-in maid. That way you
can be prepared for whatever may come your way.

Make Money Without Money - A Laundry Service Can Clean Up Your Bank Account

Doing the laundry is one of the most unpopular chores faced each week but for the industrious entrepreneur this can be a tidy way to make money without money. It is a fact that doing laundry is the one chore that gets put off as long as possible in the average home where all the adults work, often to the point where they have no clean clothes to wear. In this situation many of them resort to using the dry cleaners or a commercial laundry service rather than using the washer and dryer sitting in their own utility room.

There are several options you can offer when it comes to providing a laundry service to your prospective customers and each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on your situation and that of your customers.

You can offer to do their laundry at their home, which give you the advantage of using their washer and dryer and laundry soaps. The other advantages to this are they will be paying for the utilities and you do not have to pick up and deliver the laundry to their home. Disadvantages to this arrangement are that if you have more than one customer you may have to go to several different homes in a short span of days and you might want to consider getting bonded to protect you and your new business since you will be in people's homes.

On the other hand you can arrange to have your customers drop their laundry off for you to wash or you can pick it up, arranging several pickups at a time. This is probably the best of the choices which leaves you one last decision; do you use your own equipment or take the laundry to a commercial Laundromat? If you chose to do the laundry at home you are going to increase your utility bill and increase the wear and tear on your own laundry equipment.
By using a Laundromat you can do several loads at the same time which will cut down the amount of time per customer and result in you being able to handle more customers in the same time period. Using a commercial Laundromat will cost you more in the short run, but when you consider the high cost of your utilities and the wear and tear on your washer and dryer it is probably the best choice.

Advertise your new business with brightly colored fliers delivered to every home in town, especially those people you know are always working and the senior citizens. These are the type of people who are most in need of your services; consider tailoring your prices to each income level since most senior citizens are on a fixed income. Remember if your prices are fair you are likely to get far more business than if you try to rely on just a few people who can afford high prices.

One final thought as long as you provide a professional timely service your new business will flourish, proving that you can definitely make money without money even in todays world.
