Listening to Music

To drown out unnecessary noise whenever I am working I usually put on m-audio headphones and listen to my “zen” or “work” music, tunes I usually listen to when I work. Depending on the task I sometimes listen to rock, R&B and upbeat music just to get my brain running and once I’ve achieved my tempo or momentum I turn the music off but keep the headphones on so I wouldn’t hear any more than the voice in my head.

Yoyos

My son is currently obsessed with yoyos and that instead of going to the ocean park as planned for his educational field trip, he wants to go to the yoyofactory instead! He started getting interested in yoyos after seeing a yoyo exhibit and talent exhibition by yoyo masters. He was amazed with the prowess of the grand champion who can do so many things with the yoyo.

New Linens

I have always been confused with bed linen sizes – what’s the difference between a full and a double? I always get those ones mixed up. It’s a good thing The White Company’s site has a very helpful FAQ/Help section, before I order I make sure to confirm the sizes in inches first!

The kids’ bunk bed has a single mattress on top and a full bed below, and I mistakenly ordered for a double sheet for it and it ended up not being fitted! So now I make sure to order a full sheet :)

I have a fetish for good and quality linens and for everything to be matching, from the pillow covers, fitted sheets, blankets and comforter sets. This is why I rarely shop when it’s not on sale – it gets crazily expensive! I hope that the White Company celebrates its sale season soon, I am itching to get new ones already!

Benefits of Being a Travel Nurse

Travel nursing jobs have been increasing in popularity lately due to shortage of nurses in some parts of the world. It is a win-win situation as travel nursing jobs give higher incentives and more benefits for nurses and areas in need of nurses get the help they need.

There are many different benefits to becoming a travel nurse and therefore if you have a passion for nursing and you love to engage your interest in travelling, this might well be the opportunity for you.
One of the biggest perks in getting a travel nurse job is of course, being able to travel for free. You also get to be paid more than a regular nurse, usually together with relocation and housing incentives. Monetary benefits aside, as a travel nurse, you will be exposed to different kinds of medical cases and learn more nursing techniques as nursing practices, while universal, often differ from one country to another, depending on the technology hospitals use.

If you are curious as to what type of nursing job you can apply for, you can ask help from travel nursing companies.  These travel nurse companies function like employment agencies, matching you with a location, job and job description that fits your expertise and preferences.

Summer is Near!

In a month or two, summer will be arriving and right now I am looking at various outdoor grills at GrillsDirect.com because I am hoping we can host a BBQ party sometime when the kids go on vacation, maybe when my youngest throws a birthday party. While I am not a fan of the heat and humidity, I do love all the activities we can do during summer – trips, staycations, beaches + swimming!
