This little blog is on hold for right now. You can come and meet me at Shirley Twofeathers, if you'd like. One day, when I do actually start to SELL my art online, or when I begin to actively TAKE the steps necessary to begin to get it sold, I'll come back and document places, processes, and ideas that work for me. In the mean time, come and see me at Shirley Twofeathers, or visit Mandala Madness, or check out Green Dolphin Studio. And whatever you do, have a great day!

Sabotage

Sabotage - what does that mean?

The word "sabotage" comes from the French word "sabot" and means "to trample with wooden shoes." A sabot is a clog with a leather top. At the beginning of agricultural mechanization French farm workers threw their "sabotes" into harvesting and processing machines (which were taking their jobs), thereby blocking the complicated mechanics of the mowing and threshing machines and rendering them useless. For the sake of their labor, they engaged in "sabotage".

Interesting.... I wonder if this means that self sabotage is actually a way to create "work" for ourselves. I mean, we wouldn't want things to be too easy, now would we? My sister and I recently did some "work" on this subject. You can read about it here.

Adjustable dumbbells cost closer to six hundred dollars
while a sufficient set of traditional dumbbells can be purchased for less than four hundred
dollars. Take a chest press for example; the main muscle worked is the chest, secondary maybe the triceps.
This is one of the major advantages that manufacturers
target when marketing adjustable dumbbells to home consumers.

Read carefully below so that you know exactly what time the items that you
want are going to go on sale. So in conclusion I will say that there are, like I said earlier, other good and well-known brands out there when it comes for kitchen
appliances like waffle makers. A bonus is that it can be stored upright to save storage
space.

An electric toothbrush is motorized and usually
battery-operated with a charger that sits on the bathroom
counter. While manual toothbrushes are still popular nowadays, some
people have already been upgrading to electric toothbrushes.
Flossing and brushing may remove food particles and plaque from the teeth, but they can still get caught inside your mouth.

I used one of my shaving gels and first shaved under my arms.
I have sideburns and I even them out quite nicely with
the regular razor that I use (which is not a
Fusion any longer). To fans just getting started,
I'd go heavy into the course.

So, if you want to give them a gift that they will appreciate for years to
come, a slow cooker is an awesome option. I highly recommend the Crock-Pot Cook Carry Countdown Slow Cooker as a great slow cooker that any household would be
grateful to have. On the other hand, high setting will make it cook faster,
which is for only 3 to 4 hours.

Publishers have obsessively churned out memoirs over the past several years, but among shelves
of mostly bland, self-righteous and poorly written duds, Tammet’s book soars.
For people who brush their teeth more often, the bristles may begin to wear out sooner than expected.

Flossing and brushing may remove food particles and
plaque from the teeth, but they can still get caught inside your mouth.

It can hurt at first though, so prepare your face by running an ice cube
over the brow line or other part of the face that will be
plucked free of unwanted hair. Problem is now solved Braun Series

minute, lifting unruly hair), Gillette Blade Technology (provides accurate high speed),
as well as a significant turn your head (the entrance of the slide

A lot of people have dumbbells scattered throughout their fitness rooms and sometimes times have got to locate
the correct amount of weight before they're able to begin with their do exercises routine. If you have health issues, like a back issue, then a rack is probably a nice choice. Compared with purchasing all 15 weights individually, one is saving an enormous amount of money by gaining it all in one item.
