While out shovelling snow on this cold but sunny day I found myself humming Let The Sunshine In from the Flintstones. This gave me the title of my own personal blog. When I started this blog my descriptios was "Want to see how this Mom with a full-time job, a part-time job, a tween-aged son & self proclaimed event organizer keeps it all check? Stay tuned for all the fun right here!" I keep it like that to see how quickly my life changesUnknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger232125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160326006250260187.post-73076372592193756562019-06-08T18:57:00.002-07:002019-06-08T18:58:14.134-07:00Celebrating #BestFriendsDay with an Australia’s Thunder From Down Under Ticket Giveaway<br />

It is a an 11 minute, 7 second video, but taking the time to watch it could be life-changing. Some of you may already incorporate these rituals into your daily life, but I am sure everyone can learn something from it.<br />

Wow did that video set you back on your heels a bit? I know it did for me. As mentioned earlier, I myself practice several of the ideas mentioned in the video above but I know I need to get better at writing things down in a journal. Because I am on a computer most of my day I always think that I type all day and set reminders, email myself notes etc. but I know I should incorporate journaling into my day to day habits. Recently I have heard about the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEG_MzlUtac" target="_blank">PASSION PLANNER</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm15cmYU0IM" target="_blank">BULLET JOURNALING</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKlteLkELuk" target="_blank">THE ROCKEFELLER HABITS</a>. These are all items I want to investigate further to assist myself with time management and goal setting. <br />

It's Happened More Than Once<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As a female that loves action movies, I am so glad to see that
the Wonder Woman movie was a great film and thrilled that it is doing so well
at the box office.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Yet it makes me wonder does a woman need to be in a fight
scene with Ben Affleck in order to get her own action movie?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You see Wonder Woman is a spin off from
Batman v Superman<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">You see this is not the first time it has happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">In the 90s the character Elektra was given her own movie
after her popularity fight scenes in the Daredevil movie which starred Ben
Affleck as the Marvel Superhero.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I hope this will not always be the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Or maybe a female hero has to be introduced in movie that 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>
featured a male hero? Such was the case with Marvel’s Agent Carter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The character of Peggy Carter was introduced
in the Captain America film.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When she
was going to get her own series I was thrilled and watched every episode (as I
did with the Wonder Woman television show back in the 70s). Unfortunately the
viewership must not have been there as it was cancelled after the second
season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I still hold out hope for Captain Marvel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope her stand alone film will not be
treated as a spinoff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope she gets
all the attention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Maybe it’s time to re-watch films like Alien, The Long Kiss
Goodnight, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Underworld and other films that feature
female leads in action roles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now with
all the data being mined from downloads, on demand and streaming perhaps it
will make those decision makers realize that women can hold their own in action
films.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Please don’t see this as negative towards the other super
hero action or action movies. I still love them all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See everyone at THOR Ragnarok.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We all try to do our part to save energy whether is making sure to turn the lights off when we leave the room or using timers on devices. Making small changes help save energy and save on the amount we spend on utilities.<br />

simple trick will save you time and energy, both your energy and the energy

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Most people will use their oven several times a week and
usually for about an hour at a time.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<h3>
How To Brand Your Video Content On YouTube</h3>
It's been a while since I have posted a What The Web Wednesday Tip so I thought it was time to post another idea for your website and/or blog. In the post <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.ca/2015/01/how-to-reduce-bounce-rate-what-web.html" target="_blank">How To Reduce Bounce Rate</a></span><span style="font-size: small;"> I gave some ideas on how keep readers on your site longer and embedding videos was one of those ideas. To increase your branding I suggest following the five simple steps below to post your logo on your video as a watermark.</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
5 Simple Steps To Watermark Your YouTube Videos</h4>
<ol>
<li>Login to your <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Those2GirlsMeFest" target="_blank">YouTube</a> account and click Video Manager (located above your header photo)</li>
<li>In the left sidebar, pick the drop down menu arrow beside the Channel item</li>
<li>From the list that appeared pick branding</li>
<li>Now upload the image you want to use as your watermark</li>
<li>After the image is loaded you can choose how long you wish for it to appear (I suggest for the entire video) and save your settings.</li>
</ol>
For an example of how the watermark looks once it is applied to your videos see the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nIieJrjcUg&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">How To Cut A Red Pepper With No Waste</a> demonstration below.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4nIieJrjcUg" width="640"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
You can see the Those2Girls watermark in the lower right hand corner. If you decide you want to remove the watermark, follow the same steps but in step number 4 click remove. It is that easy. There is one issue, if your channel has advertisment overlays it may cover it, but if the viewer clicks to close the ad your watermark will appear again.<br />
<br />
DID YOU TRY IT? POST YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL IN THE LINKUP BELOW SO WE CAN ALL CHECK OUT YOUR WATERMARK. If you participate be sure to SUBSCRIBE to the other URLS listed in the linkup.<br />

Wondering what this is?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I call it my flavour jars. Every time I chop up veggies I put the peel, tops, seeds etc into jars and freeze them. Once I have a couple of jars in the freezer I know I have enough to make a vegetable stock.<br />
I use sweet vegetables for my stock<br />
<ul>
<li>Carrots</li>
<li>Parsnips</li>
<li>Red Peppers</li>
</ul>
Those are my go to vegetables. You can also have onions and a few savoury items. Example, sometimes I will add leeks and others like onions and celery. Just stay away from bitter vegetables, unless you like more bitter than sweet.<br />
<br />
The trick is to really wash (scrub) your vegetables before you prep them. Then you know when you put the scraps in the jars there is no dirt left in the mix.<br />
<br />
These jars are just the beginning of the delicious <span style="font-size: large;">CARROT APPLE SOUP</span> recipe below.<br />

<li>Start by putting your COLD water in a pot big enough to handle these ingredients. </li>
<li>Add the jar scraps.</li>
<li>Next peel both carrots, with the carrot peel landing in the pot.</li>
<li>Cut carrots into big chunks (see image below)</li>
<li>Put carrot chunks into the first pot (they will help keep all the veggie scraps from rising out of the pot.</li>
<li>Add salt a few grinds of the salt. Because I am a <a href="http://stufftodowithyourkidsinkw.blogspot.ca/2015/04/food-revolution-day-may-23-2015-in.html" target="_blank">Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Ambassador</a> I like to use Jamie Oliver Thyme, Lemon And Bay Salt it adds some zest!</li>
<li>Turn burner on high and get the stock heated. When it is almost boiling turn down to medium heat. You will know when it is almost boiling as you will see a bubbly foam begin to form.</li>
<li>Let cook for half an hour. Resist the tempation to stir the pot.</li>
<li>While it is cooking wash the apples, core and chop them into small thin pieces like the image below. I leave the peel on because it gives you some extra fiber.</li>
<li>After half an hour, use the slotted spoon to remove your carrot chunks from the stock and place in the second pot. You may have to dig a little with the slotted spoon if your carrot chunks got to the bottom of the stock mix.</li>
<li>Now place your strainer over the pot like in the image below</li>
<li>Slowy start pouring your stock mix into the strainer until all the liquid is poured out of the stock mix.</li>
<li>You can now remove the strainer and first pot from the cooking area.</li>
<li>Turn the second pot with only the carrot chunks and strained stock on high and then immediately add the chopped apples. Because the carrots were partially cooked in the first pot, this really cuts down on cooking time. Once the pot begins to boil turn down to medium-low and let it cook until the carrots are tender enough to get pureed in the blender.</li>
<li>Turn off stove and pour contents of the second pot into the blender. CAUTION it will be hot and may splash! It's better to puree in smaller batches. </li>
<li>Set second pot back on the stove but leave the stove off.</li>
<li>Put the lid on the blender, but becareful as the steam will want to make it pop off. Puree the mix.</li>
<li>While you may be tempted to pour the soup from the blender pitchter right into bowls, it's not a good idea as the majority of the thicker puree is at the top and the liquid puree is at the bottom of the blender pitcher,. Instead pour it back into the second pot and give it a good stir, then serve it into bowls.</li>
<li>This receipe as you can see it made 4 cups of soup.</li>

World Water Day + Meatless Monday </h3>
<br />
Sunday was World Water Day and I try to go Meatless most Mondays. So I decided to combine the two of these events into a recipe.<br />
<br />

Recently I saw this video about how much less water you can use by cooking pasta in a frying pan.<br />
<br />
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zkz4ef53YjA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<br />
I tried it myself, and while I don't think it saved much time it did save a lot of water! I have made a time lapse video of how easy it is to do. It is a 30 second video but the actual cooking time was approximately 30 minutes of cooking time.<br />

<h3>
Pasta With Carrot Ribbons Recipe</h3>
Ingredients<br />
<ul>
<li>Spaghetti Pasta</li>
<li>4 Cups Of Cold Water</li>
<li>2 Carrots</li>
<li>Alfredo Pasta Sauce</li>
<li>2 frying pans</li>
</ul>
Start by pouring 4-5 cups of cold water into the frying pan, I went with 4 cups but you may need 5 if you are cooking a lot of pasta (think of how many cups of water you would normally put in your pasta pot and how much water you are saving). <br />
<br />
It took my small handful of spaghetti a snaped it in half so that it fit the frying pan well. Spread the pasta across the frying pan and then turn your stove on high. Let cook for 15 minutes on high without stirring.<br />
<br />
While the pasta was cooking peel two carrots, then cut them lengthwise. Then use the peeler once more to cut the carrots into "ribbons"<br />
<br />
At the 15 minute mark stir the pasta. Then you can see that a lot of the water had been absorbed by the pasta. Let the past continue cooking, stirring as needed. Take a few tablespoons of the pasta water from the first frying pan and added it to the second frying pan add the carrot ribbons and cook on high stirring constantly until the carrots start to soften. Then add the pasta and remaing water (although you should have hardly any water left at this point) from the first frying pan and add it to the second frying pan with the softened carrots. Add your alfredo sauce. I'm not at the level of making my own alfredo sauce yet so I just used a couple of scoops of Our Compliments Garlic Alfredo sauce because that was what I had in the fridge. Stir it all up in the pan and enjoy! <br />

<h3>
Find Your Meryl Streep Moment</h3>
Last month the movement was recognized by mainstream media when Patricia Arquette's Academy Award Acceptance Speech touched on the topic.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Patricia Arquette's Oscar speech received resounding applause from the audience but what furthered the impact of her speech was the support she received by her fellow nominee Meryl Streep. The fact that she stepped up to acknowledge what Patricia Arquette said is equally important. For some making eloquent speeches comes naturally and for others it may not, but for those in the latter category it is important to support those who speak up for issues you believe in.<br />
<br />

What women's initiatives do you support? While this year I have highlighted women's equality in the workplace there are still many other <a href="http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.ca/2014/03/international-womens-day-2014-blogs.html" target="_blank">women's issues that need support</a>. That is why this year's <a href="http://www.internationalwomensday.com/theme.asp" target="_blank">International Women's Day Theme MAKE IT HAPPEN</a> is so important. By recognizing an issue that resonates with you or supporting someone that is stepping up and saying something about it are just a couple of ways to make change happen. Let me know what women's issues you support by linking up or commenting below.<br />

Tips To Reduce The Bounce Rate On Your Blog / Website</h3>

<h3>
What Does Bounce Rate Mean?</h3>
Bounce Rate is a term you may have heard of before but didn't quite understand it's meaning. Think of it this way, you google something, you click the link that looks best suited for your inquiry, then you noticed it didn't pertain what you were looking for so you hit the back button. Basically you moved on without giving the website/blog a chance. Hence the term "TIME TO BOUNCE" <br />
<br />
Google tracks the rate of this action on your site's analytics. The bounce rate is usually a very high average 70% or more, so your goal is to reduce that number, meaning that the viewer chose to stay on your website and/or blog because they found it of interest.<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
3 Ways To Reduce Your Bounce Rate</h3>
These are a few ways I work on reducing the bounce rate<br />
<ol>
<li><a href="http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.ca/2014/12/what-web-wednesday-december-31-2014.html" target="_blank">Link to other posts</a> on you site that relate to the topic</li>
<li>Add the <a href="http://www.linkwithin.com/learn?ref=widget" target="_blank">Linkwithin</a> widget that shows thumbnails of some of your other posts at the bottom of the page and links to them.</li>
<li>Embed a video. You can create your own vlogs, but if that is not your thing, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Those2GirlsMeFest" target="_blank">head to YouTube</a> and find a video that coicides with your subject and embed it into your post.</li>
</ol>

Do you know of a wedding, bridal shower, baby shower, graduation, anniversary party or special event that you have coming up? Now is the <a href="http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.ca/2014/08/loulou-magazine-shop-series-recap.html" target="_blank">time to shop</a> for that great dress or fantastic outfit to wear to it!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Hit The Sale Racks In January</h3>
Many stores stock up on <span style="font-size: large;">New Year's Eve gowns and put them on sale in January</span>. Now it the time to search those clearance racks! Most evening wear has short sleeves or is strapless which makes it wearable in the warm months as well. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyZw2pUfn8lgJ5WCZlfgyQwdKQ7Dkq9nnxW3C6WCWSgF45Y6_DhTvez1LR7R_HRdC4PAcmEwklMDsxKjcZ0COmMnS2hzsVVBsK6vML4IDo_zluyfBIRvwp75-yTA8iTwrUYisqmWijfkI/s1600/dress-md.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyZw2pUfn8lgJ5WCZlfgyQwdKQ7Dkq9nnxW3C6WCWSgF45Y6_DhTvez1LR7R_HRdC4PAcmEwklMDsxKjcZ0COmMnS2hzsVVBsK6vML4IDo_zluyfBIRvwp75-yTA8iTwrUYisqmWijfkI/s400/dress-md.png" width="370" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Know The Tricks To Shopping For Spring And Summer Occasions</h3>
As mentioned above make sure to pick a short sleeve or strapless outfit but here are some other ideas<br />
<ol>
<li>Choose colourful pieces. Most don't wear a lot of black or brown at warm weather gatherings</li>
<li>Not too much sparkle (unless it's for a black tie affair)</li>
<li>Take note of hemlines, as you want to show off your great strappy shoes in warmer weather</li>
<li>Try it on and test out all zippers, hooks, buttons and clasps. You won't be able to return it months down the road</li>
<li>Make sure the outfit isn't too heavy. Think about what it will be like wearing it at an outdoor wedding or patio event</li>
</ol>
So whatever your plans our this summer you know you'll look great without breaking the bank!<br />

Starting today and hopefully continuing on the months to follow I plan to put up a WHAT THE WEB WEDNESDAY LINK UP on the last Wednesday of every month here on this blog. <br />

I'll post a Web How To and then post a link up at the bottom of the post where you can link up your "how to" as well. Think of it as knowledge sharing, brain-storming and/or crowdsourcing information that could better your website/blog!<br />
I thought I would kick things off by posting about how to participate!<br />

<em><span style="font-family: Arial;">Four Ways to Prepare For a Shopping Event</span></em></h2>
<br />
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><strong>WEAR
COMFORTABLE SHOES</strong> – The last thing you want to experience is sore feet.
Pop on your comfy shoes ensure you can make it through the shopping mall
blister free</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><strong>PLAN
YOUR ATTIRE</strong> – At these events dressing room areas can become very busy.
It’s best to wear tank tops and thin shorts under your outfit so you can
try on garments without getting in that fitting room line.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><strong>CHARGE
YOUR DEVICE</strong> – Chances are you will want to show off your style! Make sure
your smartphone/tablet is fully charged so you can show your finds
socially.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><strong>BE
PATIENT</strong> – Great deals can sometimes mean longer lineups at the checkout.
Instead of being frustrated, strike up a conversation with others in line.
Ask them about the deals they grabbed and learn how they found out about
the event.</li>
</ol>

Empowering Women At #BeautyIsMe</h3>
Last month we had the opportunity to attend the first <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shespeakshair#!/events/834786763216857/" target="_blank">#BeautyIsMe</a> event hosted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shespeakshair" target="_blank">She Speaks Hair</a>. We were not sure what to expect. All we knew was that is was a charitable event for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/heartandstroke" target="_blank">The Heart And Stroke Foundation</a> with Beauty as it's theme.<br />

If you have read my post <a href="http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.ca/2013/04/find-inner-and-outer-beauty.html" target="_blank">Find The Inner And Outer Beauty</a> you know that I feel strongly about this subject and that we like to be involved in anything that <a href="http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.ca/2014/03/international-womens-day-2014-blogs.html" target="_blank">Empowers Women</a> to be their very best.<br />
<br />
When we arrived we were told we learn tips for hair, skin, nutrition, exercise and relaxation all in one afternoon. As you can see in the video below we did accomplish that<br />

<h3>
Takeaweays From The Event</h3>
<ul>
<li>Beginner yoga is truly for everyone</li>
</ul>
While we all lied there learning how to properly breath everyone was able to do it at their own pace and if you had yoga experience before you learned how to increase your yoga workout. It was great lesson in relaxation and being present. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>How NOT to damage your hair</li>
</ul>
We spend so much time doing our hair, a lot of the time we are shooting ourselves in the foot. Instead of using a gazillion products, choose just a few that don't have fillers. They are more concentrated so you will use less and get the full benefit from the product. Also something I need to stop doing is going to bed with wet hair. In may be convenient but it increases the chance of split ends and hair breakage.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Put your best face forward</li>
</ul>
We learned a lot of time savers when it came to skin care and makeup application. Natural glow comes for healthy skin, but for extra oomph use a highlighter makeup to contour your face.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Healthy eating can be a skin care regime</li>
</ul>
Eating foods high in antioxidants and healthly fats are not only good for your body, they can be used on your body. Being the <a href="http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.ca/2014/05/healthy-recipes-for-food-revolution-kw.html" target="_blank">Food Revolution KW Ambassadors</a> we were pleased to learn you can create facial treatements and skin care masks using berries, avocados and more nutrient rich foods.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Cheer Up</li>
</ul>
Choosing a Cheer Body workout gives you a great cardio workout but also increases self esteem. Taught by a former cheerlearder from the <a href="http://stufftodowithyourkidsinkw.blogspot.ca/2014/07/toronto-argonauts-home-opener.html" target="_blank">Toronto Argonauts</a>, the workout improves the way you move and the way you feel about yourself!<br />
<br />
oh and there was healty nibbles and swag to be had...<br />

With summer in full swing salads are on the menu! </h3>

There are so many salad dressing recipes out there but I find they have so many ingredients! This means you are constantly balancing flavours. If you put too much lemon then you need more sugar. If you have to much garlic then add some lime. For me simple is the way to go.<br />
<br />
I made this salad dressing in 5 mins with 5 ingredients. No zesting, chopping or juicing required.<br />
<br />
Now remember I'm not great at measuring so you may need to do a bit of adjusting to your own taste.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The 5 Ingredient Salad Dressing</h3>
You will need<br />
<ul>
<li>1 cup of Olive Oil</li>
<li>2 to 2.5 cups of Rice Wine Vinegar</li>
<li>Half a cup (or less depending on how sweet you need it) of Liquid Honey</li>
<li>A few of twists of the grinder of ground pepper</li>
<li>A couple of twists of the grinder of salt. </li>
</ul>
** Note because I am a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/FoodRevolutionKW" target="_blank">Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Ambassador</a> I recommend his <a href="https://www.sobeys.com/en/products/jamie-oliver-grind-mill-seasonings" target="_blank">pink himalyan salt</a> but any coarse salt should do.<br />
<br />
What's next? Add it all to a mason jar. Secure the lid and give it a good shake! That's it!<br />
<br />
I poured it over a spinach salad that had strawberries and walnuts. Again another easy to make healthy recipe!<br />
<br />
