One great way to increase business is give
away something for free, if possible. If you
are involved in a party plan business, have
guests earn raffle tickets for bringing a
friend, or ordering a certain dollar amount;
then give a free gift for the raffle winner.
Or just give a free gift for bringing a
friend! Give coupons for future orders. Give
anything you can think of! My company offers
free photo prints for opening a free
account, which has really helped increase
customers! Plus, it just makes you feel good
to give something of value to someone!

Holiday Tips
by
Diana
Sadtler |
| |
Ahh, the
holidays. All the sudden we get a
twinkle in our eye, a spark in our step
and a smile on our face at the thought
of all the fun activities the holidays
have to offer. From school parties and
dances that provide a never-ending array
of goodies, chips and dips to the family
gatherings that “require” us to eat that
second serving of mashed potatoes and
the extra slice of pecan pie! After all,
we don’t want to hurt Grandma’s feelings
do we?
Here are some tips to help you keep
and the kids on track without going
overboard and regretting any extra
weight gain that the holidays so often
produce.
|
MODERATION:
Avoidance of extremes.
Avoid eating until you can’t breath! When at
a function and everything on the table is
calling your name, remember to avoid extreme
sampling. Pigging out is never an option
however, enjoying the high fat holiday foods
should be done in moderation. Moderation is
key and indulging too much will definitely
put on the pounds, so chose carefully.
PORTION SIZE
When attending family gatherings be mindful
of the portion size of food you put onto
your plate. Make sure half of your plate is
loaded with your favorite veggies, one
quarter of the plate with a protein, such as
chicken, pork, beef or fish, and the
remaining quarter of the plate with a
carbohydrate such as, mashed potatoes,
candied yams or whole grain roll. Keeping
the portion size to a healthy amount is
critical when not wanting to pack on the
extra pounds. Same goes for dessert. If
there are several desserts to sample, then
please do so! Have small, bite-sized
portions of whatever looks good and enjoy.
PACE YOURSELF
If you know there is an event that will
include those hard to resist foods limit the
feeding frenzy and pace yourself. Never eat
non-stop at a party for an hour straight.
Give your food time to digest before diving
into a second helping. Eating slowly allows
your stomach to communicate with your brain
and tells your brain it’s full. Listen to
this chatter. You won’t feel overly stuffed
and your clothes thank you for it.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
Drinking water with your meals or between
dancing will not only keep you hydrated but
also fill you up and prevent overeating.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT FOODS
Holiday events bring with them a multitude
of food choices that can be hard to resist.
Be mindful of the food choices you are
making. Chose baked, broiled or grilled
foods over batter, deep-fried. Fried foods
contain high amounts of calories and fat and
should be avoided at all times. When
choosing your veggies, chose those that are
steamed and prepared without sauces or too
much butter. Heavy sauces and an excess of
butter add calories and fat on what is
normally a very healthful food. Beverage of
choice should be water and not soda or fruit
juices for these are loaded with sugar,
which cause them to be high in calories and
will definitely pack on the pounds if not
careful.
KEEP ACTIVE
Every day should be occupied with some sort
of activity but during the holiday season
activity is especially important. Due to the
high volume of gatherings with family and
friends it’s important to schedule some sort
of activity each day. Take a brisk walk,
bike ride, sledding adventure or swim for at
least 30 to 45 minutes a day. Activity will
keep your metabolism running at it’s best
and when your metabolism is running well,
you will burn fat and calories.
ENJOY
Yes, enjoy! After all, that’s what the
holidays are all about. Following these
simple and easy tips will allow for all the
“required” eating as well as keeping you
from having to buy a new wardrobe come
January.

The Choice
by Nicholas Sparks
In his latest
novel, The Choice, New York Times
Best-selling author Nicholas Sparks brings
us what he does best, a tale of bitter-sweet
romance. Travis Parker leads a charmed life
in the small town of Beaufort, N.C.. Young,
good-looking and successful with loyal
friends, he thinks has everything he needs.
What he doesn’t want is a committed
relationship getting in the way of his
adventurous lifestyle.
That changes when he meets his attractive
new neighbor, Gabby Holland. After a first
impression that would send most people
running, Travis can’t get Gabby out of his
head. However, Gabby who just moved to
Beaufort to be near her long-time boyfriend,
isn’t easily taken by Travis’ charms. In
spite of her resistance, Travis continues to
try and win Gabby over, taking both of them
down an unexpected path. We follow the
characters through several years as each is
faced with life changing decisions. Finally,
Travis finds himself pondering the ultimate
question, how far should a person go in the
name of love?
In The Choice, Sparks tackles a current
social issue while telling an entertaining
love story. Written in third person, the
reader gets to know both the main characters
well. Sparks characters are likable and
interesting, and his prose easy to read. The
story starts off a little slow, but I soon
found myself invested in the characters,
cheering them on, wanting to know more.
Sparks’ treatment of this social issue is
tender and touching, causing me to empathize
with the characters and consider what I
would do faced with the same situation. A
definite must-read for Spark’s fans and
anyone who likes a good love story that is
also thought-provoking.
