From My Reader: Business Opportunities Weblog

Here’s one more blog whose feeds I receive via email – The Business Opportunities Weblog.

The blog features stories of small businesses and good ideas. Some of the stories are really quite inspiring. I’ve found myself clicking through to read the full story, and even to checkout the websites of the businesses themselves. I have hopes of finding what service I can provide to the world, and venture into my own business. I just don’t know what it is yet. This blog that shows me others who have found their niche and built their own empires can be truly inspiring.

Yesterday, one of the stories I particularly clicked through, is that of Swimmable Mermaid Tails:

mermaid tails

Pretty aren’t they? With these custom-made mermaid tales, any girl’s mermaid dream can come true. It’s not just a costume for show, they can actually swim in it. I don’t think this Etsy business has any competition. Photo is from Etsy.

So the blog features business such as this one, and lots more. Though I haven’t seen them feature this business yet, but this credit card for teens sounds like something I’d expect to see on their pages. Smile They also post trivia via their “Today in Entrepreneurial History” posts.

 

If you’ve missed it, here are other blogs from my Reader.

Taking on the Day Zero Challenge

, 5 Comments

Back in May, I had read a blog from somebody doing the 101 in 1001 challenge. I wish I could link you up to that blog because she was really very inspiring, but I didn’t bookmark it. I suppose she’s someone on My Reader, but I so far haven’t seen her post about her list again. Sad smile

Anyway. 101 in 1001 is a challenge to go through a list of 101 goals (or tasks) in 1001 days. That is a huge undertaking, both in the number of goals, and in the period of time. Almost 3 years to complete. When I first heard about it, I had written up a list. So far, I haven’t completed my 101 goals. So instead of starting in June 2012, it has been pushed so far back.

I’ve given myself a deadline. I will complete my list of 101 and post it here this weekend. My 1001 days will officially begin on July 14. I thought about launching it on my birthday, but that means waiting two more weeks to start, and I’ve already wasted a lot of time as it is. I gotta go by my word for 2012: START.

It probably won’t be a surprise that some tasks on my list will be blogging related. What may be a big surprise is that so far, there’s nothing really work-related. Or current-career related. Not sure if that will be true of the final 101. We’ll see.

To know more about this challenge, and to checkout other people’s lists, checkout Day Zero.

If you’re doing your own 101 in 1001, link me up and let me be inspired Smile

July 7 New Human Nature Products

, 17 Comments

Human Nature’s monthly newsletter was sent to dealers and supporters yesterday and I am very excited about the new products. These will be available starting July 7, 2012.

Balancing Facial Wash and Toner – This is a new formulation and it’s bound to be better than the last one. I love the last formulation as it is, specially made for those who have oily and combination skin like me. I love the interesting texture that the bamboo scrubs and loofah bits provide. They are there to gently cleanse the skin while keeping oil in check. I just love it!

HN Balancing

Hydrating Creamy Wash and Face Toner – The moringa in this facial wash provides a nutrient boost to dry and mature skin. Now, it’s a richer and creamier textured wash and toner with a powdery floral scent.

HN Creamy

Nourishing Facial Wash and Toner – Now this one was specially formulated for Normal to Sensitive skin. It contains tomato extracts that are rich in Lycopene and Vitamin C, helping to strengthen the skin’s barrier to protect it. Glowing and radiant skin awaits those who try it! I think this is very close to the original formulation of the first Human Nature Facial Wash and toner that I used!

HN Nourish

Natural Feminine Wash – Chamomile Cool – Feel calm, clean and cool after every wash.

HN FemCool

Healthy Lotion – Vanilla Delight – I use the Berry Bliss variety and I can attest that Human Nature lotions are easily absorbed by the skin. It definitely locks the moisture in as well. You can tell as soon as slather it on. I absolutely love the smell of berry but I understand when sometimes you just don’t want the sweet smell. For those times, vanilla is just right!

HN LotionVanilla

Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner in Lush Vanilla – I love the fresh mandarin scent of my Strengthening Shampoo and Moisturizing Conditioner! But this new lush vanilla variant is bound to be another pleaser.

HN LushVanilla

Wild Berry Lip Balm – the wild berries these are made from? Sourced locally!

HN WildBerry

The Holstee Manifesto

, 12 Comments

These words have been shared so many times before, but this is the first time I’m seeing this video, and also the first time I checked out their website.

Holstee

I am truly, truly, inspired. I try not to complain about my job and everything that I have to do for it because I do believe that if one hates it so much, then one should just quit. And I’m not ready to quit just yet. Smile

Life is short. Live your dream and share your passion.
