Artwork Safe Packaging for Shipping

Experience and Technique You Can Trust

Need to send art or artwork?  It is not a DIY Job.

Jackson Pack N Ship has been offering our services to artists, galleries, museums and auction houses since 1997. We provide personal service to our clients including custom packaging, crating and shipping these items with special care. We know that family heirlooms and works of art are precious and deserve the most attention for the safest delivery. We spare no packing material or technique because we understand what packages endure during the shipping process.

Our packaging technique for framed or unframed art:

.Any item containing glass, such as framed art and pictures, receives a layer of glass mask to protect the print, photograph or artwork that lay underneath and layer of scratch preventative called furniture wrap is applied. Furniture wrap is a combination of thick tissue paper and wrap designed to prevent abrasion and scratching. It is used primarily for fine wood and critical finish surfaces.

Next is a layer of styro-board that is sized and applied using stretch-wrap around the piece to withstand any mishandling event that might occur. The piece is surrounded with a double-walled corrugated container or a crate. We have in-stock picture boxes for the most common artwork sizes but we are prepared to build any size double-walled corrugated container or crate necessary. Lastly, the space left between the carefully wrapped artwork and container is filled using packing peanuts. Nothing should be loose when finally packed for shipment.

Do This Before You Ship

Our packaging is exceptional for protecting against damage. But in the unlikely event of damage or loss, Jackson Pack N Ship has value coverage available to its customers to cover the value of the artwork. A few things we ask our customers to do before shipping highly valuable pieces:

  • Keep purchase receipts or appraisals as evidence of value.
  • If there is no evidence indicating value, seek to have it documented in some fashion such as a quotation for similar item, publication or appraisal.
  • Take several pictures of the item to document its condition.

I was at SA Rd location 7/6/19. The gentleman at the counter was very kind and compassionate to an older customer. He still accomplished everything he needed to and kept the line moving, but he listened to her. Not everyone would be so gracious. I was impressed.

History Of Sewing Machines

Making a sort of chain stitch could be accomplished with the hooked needle by leaving the prior stitch loose and running the thread through the loose loop, then pulling it tight, sort of like a chain, which is where the term ‘chain stitch comes from. Get a gist of chain stitch history and how it lead to the invention of patches here on

Before the invention of the sewing machine, all sewing had to be done by hand. The seemingly simple hand stitch was difficult to duplicate with a machine. The difficulty in making a machine that could duplicate the hand-sewn chain stitch increased the popularity of the decorative stitch. Decorative stitching was done using a hooked needle but the stitches were not joined together. Joined stitches couldn’t be done by machine.

A German named Charles Weisenthal was granted British patent number 701 in 1755 for a double-pointed needle that also had an eye at one end. His design called for the needle to be passed through the fabric and then grasped by two mechanical fingers. The major problem with this design is that the entire needle had to be passed through the fabric and the thread had then be pulled taut. So the thread had to be pretty short so the people using the needles had to spend a lot of time ‘re-threading the needle.

Thirty-five years later, a cabinetmaker by the name of Thomas Saint was granted British patent number 1764. Since he was a cabinetmaker by trade the patent was incorrectly filed under the ‘Glues and Varnishes’ section. Almost eighty years later, the patent was (re)discovered (1873) by Newton Wilson. Wilson built a duplicate of the patent and found that it would not work without some very extensive modifications. This suggests that Thomas Saint never built the device he was granted the patent for in 1764. Although his design did include an overhead arm for carrying the needle and also included a basic tensioning system. Both of these features are still common in today’s sewing machines.

Although many patents were awarded, they all attempted to duplicate the human ‘chain stitch. Finally, a French tailor, named Barthelemy Thimonnier came up with the idea of using a machine that would make a stitch that could be easily accomplished by machine and did not attempt to duplicate the hand stitches. His variation used a horizontal arm mounted on a vertical reciprocating bar. This ‘needle bar projected from the end of the horizontal arm. His design was upside down compared to modern machines with the needle coming up from the bottom and used a foot pedal to power the machine. A tailor by trade, in 1830, Thimonnier was awarded a patent in 1830. 80 of Thimonniers machines were installed in a factory in Paris that made soldiers clothing. In a strange twist of fate, other tailors who feared the new machines would put them out of business broke into the factory and destroyed the machines.

The first machine made a chain stitch, which is very weak and can be easily pulled apart. Necessity is the mother of invention and the modern lockstitch was invented to overcome the shortcomings of the chain stitch.

Employee Spotlight: Ross Sheehan

Product Manager Industry Services DivisionRoss Sheehan

Product Manager, Industry Services at TÜV SÜD Canada

#FutureInYourHands – This motto properly describes how TÜV SÜD empowers its employees. It’s best to hear from TÜV SÜD executives and staff members what their personal experiences are working for TÜV SÜD.

Can you describe your role within the company?
With my current position as Product Manager for Canada, within TÜV SÜD's Industry Services Division, I am responsible for the certification of pressure equipment fabricated in Canada destined for the European market. To ensure compliance with European directives I must verify equipment is designed correctly, witness inspection and testing, reporting and issuance of certificates of conformity.

How did you choose this career path?
Once I realized I wasn’t going to be a footballer and I couldn’t sing, I found my ability in mathematics leading me to a degree in engineering. I began working in pressure vessel design and fabrication which, I believe, gave me a great foundation and understanding of pressure equipment.

What do you enjoy most about your role?
No two days are the same. We constantly receive different designs of pressure equipment and pressure assemblies that require certification. My role provides the perfect blend of hands-on engineering, problem solving and customer interaction.

What are some trends you're keeping an eye on in the Canadian marketplace?
Manufacturing is the single most important and largest economic sector in Canada. Over the past year, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) partnered with the Canadian Manufacturing Coalition to investigate the challenges companies will face over the next 15 years. They developed an ambitious plan to invigorate growth which, hopefully, will double Canada’s manufacturing output by 2030.

Is there an engineering-related innovation that fascinates you?
I find the evolution of metal 3D printing fascinating, and it could provide major changes in how pressure equipment is fabricated. 3D printing of plastics is commonplace, but it is interesting to see if the printing of metals follows suit.

What do you think the industry will look like 20 years from now?
With continued economic and technological globalization, I believe we will see more standardization of international codes and regulations. In addition, fabrication and production techniques will continually evolve and improve. Pressure equipment will always be regulated and TÜV SÜD will evolve and move with the times.

When not working, how do you spend your spare time?
I really enjoy sports. I'm a sports fanatic who has migrated effortlessly from playing to watching throughout my 30s.

#BookReview Down with Love by Kate Meader @KittyMeader @readloveswept Title: Down with Love

Author: Kate Meader

Series: Laws of Attraction #1

Published by: Loveswept on Aug. 7, 2018

Genres: Contemporary Romance

Pages: 237

Format: eBook, ARC

Source: Loveswept, NetGalley

Book Rating: 10/10

Sparks fly when the hot-shot divorce lawyer meets the high-powered wedding planner. The only question is, what kind?

If you ever get married, remember my name: Max Henderson. In my line of work, you acquire a certain perspective on supposedly everlasting unions. . . .

1. Pre-nups are your friend.
2. The person you married is not the person you’re divorcing.
3. And I hope you didn’t spend much on the wedding because that was one helluva waste of hard-earned cash, wasn’t it?

But some guys are willing to take a chance. Like my brother, who thinks he’s going to ride off into the sunset with the woman of his dreams in a haze of glitter on unicorns. And the wedding planner—the green-eyed beauty who makes a living convincing suckers to shell out thousands of dollars on centerpieces—is raking it in on this matrimonial monstrosity.

The thing is, Charlie Love is not unlike me. We’re both cogs in the wedding-industrial complex. As the best man, I know her game—and I can play it better than her. But after one scorching, unexpected kiss, I’m thinking I might just want to get played.

Witty, seductive, and wickedly entertaining!

Down with Love is an engaging, adorable, enemies-to-more romance set in the Windy City that introduces us to a whole slew of new characters, including the warm, sweet, charming Charlie who believes in fairy tales and happy endings, and the intelligent, confident, skeptical, divorce lawyer, Max who believes that saying “I do” is merely a waste of time and money.

The writing is smooth and effortless. The characters are clever, fun-loving, and appealing. And the plot is an enchanting, exceptionally funny, perfect mix of tender moments, friendship antics, delicious tension, catchy dialogue, swoon-worthy chemistry, and true love.

I have always been a fan of Kate Meader, and I think Down with Love has just become one of my favourites. I loved the characters, I loved the chemistry, and I loved the storyline. It’s a fantastic start to the new Laws of Attraction series, and in my opinion, it really doesn’t get much better than this.

This novel is available now.

#BookReview The Whole Thing Together by Ann Brashares @AnnBrashares Title: The Whole Thing Together

Author: Ann Brashares

Published by: Penguin on Apr. 27, 2017

Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary Romance

Pages: 295

Format: Paperback, ARC

Source: Random House, Goodreads Giveaways

Book Rating: 6.5/10

We live in the same place, but never together.

Summer for Sasha and Ray means the sprawling old house on Long Island. Since they were children, they’ve shared almost everything—reading the same books, running down the same sandy footpaths to the beach, eating peaches from the same market, laughing around the same sun-soaked dining table. Even sleeping in the same bed, on the very same worn cotton sheets. But they’ve never met.

Sasha’s dad was once married to Ray’s mom, and together they had three daughters: Emma, the perfectionist; Mattie, the beauty; and Quinn, the favorite. But the marriage crumbled and the bitterness lingered. Now there are two new families—and neither one will give up the beach house that holds the memories, happy and sad, of summers past.

The choices we make come back to haunt us; the effect on our destinies ripples out of our control…or does it? This summer, the lives of Sasha, Ray, and their siblings intersect in ways none of them ever dreamed, in a novel about family relationships, keeping secrets, and most of all, love.

Poignant, tragic and excessively complex!

In this latest novel by Brashares she delves into the emotional and psychological effects of blended families on all those involved and highlights the challenges faced by those specifically caught in the middle.

The characters are vulnerable, troubled and coming of age. The prose is simple and clear. And the plot, which is ultimately about guilt, love, life, loss, yearning, heartbreak, deception, friendship and family just seems to have a little too many subplots, too much angst, too much drama and too many issues, including class, divorce and race to not get bogged down and overpower the characterization and fluidity of the main storyline.

I am a huge fan of Ann Brashares from The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series and I look forward to reading other novels by her in the future but for me this one wasn’t one of her best.

This novel is available now.

Art Therapy with Children and Young People:
I am a peripatetic independent Art Therapist based in Yorkshire available to offer children and young people individual therapy sessions whether they are Looked After or not.

Art therapy can help with a number of issues for example children in danger of exclusion, those experiencing emotional and behavioural difficulties or social and communication difficulties. It may be helpful for young people struggling with particular life events such as bereavement, changes in family structure, and illness, those who have suffered abuse, bullying or trauma, or who have experience of abuse or exposure to domestic violence.

I offer both short term and long term work to suit their needs. The length of therapy will be determined by a child’s needs. It could be a few weeks, months or years. This can take place in school.

I am able to deliver group work and a therapeutic training course to support teenagers in understanding their trauma. This will empower them and support them in making positive choices as they will increase their self-esteem and confidence.

I have received the training to deliver Food for Thought workshops. These are the result of a research project done at the University of Sterling and follow on from a study on food and children in residential care.

I give consultation to a range of carers: residential care staff, therapeutic parents, foster carers and adopters. I am also able to present training to meet your needs and theirs; we can discuss a tailor made package. This could be a one day workshop on attachment or brain development for example, or a course that carers/staff would attend weekly for a period of time.

I offer supervision and clinical consultation to other Art Therapists or staff caring for vulnerable, traumatised or challenging children and young people.

Art Therapy with Older Adults and Dementia Patients                                          I offer Art Therapy in Care Homes as well as in family homes, running groups as well as individual sessions.

Most patients affected by Dementia have Alzheimer’s Disease which affects memory as well as some other faculties, such as language and communication.  They are however able to access their creativity and keep part of their brain functioning.  Art therapy can offer a life line to sufferers, helping them find a new way to express themselves and communicate.  It validates their being, their story, and promotes a positive sense of self through accomplishment.

Someone called me from the number 07451924296 . After the phone stopped ringing and went to Voice Mail, they hung up and didn't leave any voice message. I suggest not to answer the phone when the caller phones you. The caller may want to know what the time/day you pick up the phone to know when you are at home, so they would know when to call you again. Quite suspicious

A few signs that may indicate telephone fraud

  • They want you to invest in something

  • They want your credit card data

  • Caller trying to get you to buy something over the phone will offer a bonus or free gift if you purchase what they are selling right away

  • The caller says you have been selected to receive a grant for something from the government, but you need to pay a processing fee

  • The caller may say you have won a free vacation or some other prize, but there is a shipping or handling fee, so they need your credit card information to send it to you

  • If you get a call from someone selling tickets to a big-prize lottery from another country

  • If you miss a call from an unfamiliar number and it only rang once, do not call back out of curiosity. It can redirects you to a pay-per-minute number that plays a fake recorded message

  • They offer to fix your computer

  • They are collecting for a charity you have never heard of. Fake charities will insist on your credit card number

  • They want your personal information

  • They are collecting a debt which you do not remember incurring

Wholesale Real Estate

How To Wholesale Real Estate in 7 Easy Steps

Wholesale in real estate is a term you’ve probably heard way too much. Maybe, you’ve heard all the good things about how wholesaling allows making good money with little to no investment. Well, that’s all true! And while it is not rocket science, you certainly should follow these step-by-step instructions to start with the right foot and make money fast!

What is a Wholesaler in Real Estate?

First things first! What is a wholesale in real estate?

It is called wholesale in real estate the process of getting a distressed home under contract for a limited time to then assign it to another buyer.

Your intentions as a property wholesaler are not to fix and flip the property. Instead, you market it for a higher price than the one owners requested in the contract.

This strategy is beneficial for those looking to get into real estate but don’t have the money to do it. You just need to be careful not to fall into legal confusions or tricky contracts.

Success is guaranteed if you follow this next 7-step proven guide to wholesale real estate

Step 1: Find a Property to Wholesale

Wholesale Real Estate Step 1 Find A Property To Wholesale

Not all properties are wholesale material. The key to wholesale is finding properties with under market value. These are typically those needing some repairs, or whose owners need to sell quickly. Distressed homes can be sold for more than what you put it under contract for.

It is super important to always mention you will pay in cash and buy as it is. The biggest pro about wholesaling real estate is the low investment needed to start. You can find homes to wholesale for free or for inexpensive rates.

How to Find Properties to Wholesale

Let’s talk about the most widely used methods to find the right properties for wholesale.

a.       Real estate wholesale groups and investment groups

When we talk about these groups, we mean organized frequent meetings and social media groups on Meetup, Facebook, or LinkedIn, between real estate professionals and investors of all kinds. They are perfect to create valuable connections with potential lead sources, partners, and mentors. Usually, member receive weekly emails loaded with high-quality information about your area.

This way, you can be up to date regarding what is wholesaling real estate, what properties are available for sale, prices, what neighborhoods are selling better and more. Actually, most of the properties listed in these emails come from desperate sellers that may be interested in your wholesaling alternative. All this data will nurture your property wholesale business.

b.       Websites for Wholesale Real Estate Professionals, Investors, & Flippers

There are several websites you can visit to find some distressed properties to sale. for instance, CraigslistFSBO and are well known among wholesalers. Make sure to apply location filter and use the right keywords to obtain the best results in your research. Phrases like motivated seller, distressed property, fixer upper, sold as is, must sell or estate sale are commonly use for post in this niche.

c.       Hire an Assistant / Property Finder to Wholesale Real Estate

Do you already know what is wholesale real estate “bird dog”? This is the alias used in the industry to name the property finder, a part time worker hired by the wholesaler. He/she doesn’t need any special real estate knowledge, but tons of energy and part-time availability (college students are regularly hired for this) to find good properties by cold calling, scouring neighborhoods, and knocking on doors.

This is a great option to identify great opportunities for property wholesaling that won’t consume your time. The best part is that your assistant will always keep hunting as they are not hourly-paid employees. They receive a fee when a house they found is sold.

d.       Use Bandit Signs

What is a real estate wholesaler? Well, it is the person who puts those bandit signs in the street. You’ve probably seen one, or many doing this!

And yes, this means you need to invest some money to get these signs made and put up, but they are a great way to attract property owners in need of fast cash and doesn’t see putting their home for sale with real estate agencies as an option.

e.       Mails and Flyers

You can hire direct mailing services or purchase online mailing lists to make sure the flyers, postcards and mails you send really get to your distressed seller audience.

f.        Visit Court for Records

You can go to court and request to look at divorce, public tax, and probate court records to identify recently inherited properties and past due homeowners, respectively. They are great candidates to add to your mailing list.

Step 2: Convince the Owner to Sell to you

It is time to make you offer and present your best arguments on why you are the right option to get that sign. Here is how you can do it:

  • Let the owner see why you are not a conventional real estate agent, approach them in a delicate way, earn their trust, and make them feel comfortable before you try to move forward with the transaction.
  • Take the weight off their shoulders.
    • Once you know about the problems driving them to sell their property, tell them about how this decision can alleviate their pains.
    • Make sure to emphasize how the process will imply no stress on them, as you are taking complete care of it (contract, inspections, appraisal, and closing).
    • Also, highlight they won’t have to face any upfront costs.
  • Explain the reasons behind your offer. Let the seller know how the current conditions of the property will require repairs and additional expenses from the future owner, making your offer is totally fair.
  • Get that signature! Find an attorney to create a contract for you or add clauses for each case to a generic purchase contract. Despite wholesaling to an agent is completely legal, clients don’t feel ok about agents making a profit from their property right away. Therefore, agents usually assign the property to a partner.

Step 3: Build you Wholesale Dream Team

Wholesale Real Estate Takes Persistence and dedication.  Contract learning is key

If you decide to dedicate yourself to the property wholesale industry, you better get your team built to save time and money in the long run. You will need:

  • An appraiser: this member will make sure the price you are paying will give you room enough to make profit later. Also, an experience buyer would request an appraisal before placing their offer.
  • A title company: when looking for a title company, there are two important thing to take care of: first, is being crystal clear about your wholesale intentions and second, make sure the title company if they deal with assigned contract. This partner will help you run a title search and check there are no liens on the property you are negotiating.
  • A reliable contractor: despite you’re not going to deal with any repairs when wholesaling, this team member is vital. A contractor can go with you and check the property out to define its real conditions. This way you can show future buyer an idea of the potential repairs or renovations needed and back your price.

Step 4: Determine Potential Renovation Needs

To continue with the previous idea, you must assess the renovations needed in the property you plan to wholesale. These costs are a determining factor when defining your cut in the deal. If the house has a great potential after few renovations, this allow the investor to get more money for the property, and so do you.

The greatest part is that you already have the ideas and budget you contractor gave you. This gives you the back up you need when presenting your option to investors. Let them know about the potential of the property. Use this as a negotiating tool to increase your benefit.

Step 5: Find a Buyer to Buy You Wholesale Real Estate Properties

As this is not a regular real estate transaction, you are not going to look for a regular buyer. When wholesaling, you must look for someone interested in buying a cheap property and make the repairs and renovations needed. These commonly are investors or contractors. They know better what to do with a property to turn it into a dream, higher-value place.

You need to find the right buyer the fastest possible to meet the settlement date in the contract. Experienced wholesalers already have a list of potential buyers. If you’re new to this game, you can start building your database (CRM) repeating processes from the previous steps, including:

  • Using wholesale websites to advertise your property.
  • Send flyers with property info around the neighborhood
  • Email investors you meet and group meetings, networking events, and social media groups about your property.

Step 6: Negotiation, a Critical Moment

This is probably the most expected step in the process, the moment of truth when you get to know what your profit will be. The difference between the wholesale price and the price under contract (plus all costs incurred to buy it and sell it) will determine your profit.

Make Sure This is a Good Deal for You

  • As you did with the seller, you must now convince your buyer of the value you propose. For this, make sure you use your contractor’s estimates to show the potential the property has.
  • The buyer must make a good faith deposit to the wholesaler or the title company and held in escrow until the property goes to settlement.
  • Make sure your price also covers all the expenses you made to carry out this deal (team fees, marketing, even gas).
  • In general, we talk about a good deal when profit is $2000 and above. If you think you can’t make that much, better consider not to take it.

Step 7: The Closing

The closing is a ceremony celebrated at the title company office, on the date set in both contracts. In this meeting, the deed is transfer to the new owner, who also receives the keys of their just-purchased property. Closing costs are buyer and seller responsibility.

This final step is the reason why you must choose an investor-friendly title company, to keep all partied satisfied with the wholesale deal. Depends to state legislation whether each assignment is considered or not two separate transactions and taxes charged.

Wholesale Realestate FAQ

If you already know what is wholesale in real estate, but still have some doubts, find the answer to the most frequently asked questions below.

Who is Real Estate Wholesale Right for?

Wholesaling properties is perfect for several people, including those who:

  • Want to get into real estate and don’t have the money to begin. This is because no real estate license or education is required to start.
  • Can use their excellent negotiation skills
  • Have a good eye to find distressed properties
  • Have a good eye to find motivated sellers
  • Can get familiar with contracts and possible modifications fast

This area may be time consuming, but you can tell from your rewards when you’re doing wholesales the right way.

Is It Legal to Wholesale Real Estate?

According to the real estate wholesale definition, this is completely legal procedure. This is because the wholesaling involves finding a property and making an offer for it, which depends on you to  diligently sell it to an investor. The wholesale transaction is completed when the final buyer purchases the property.

Each state has their own regulations and rules. It is advice to find a local attorney to clear out any legal concern before performing wholesale in your location and avoid any infraction. For instance, Maryland laws (PHIFA) is against the “stop foreclosure” direct mail pieces. They consider to be misleading because wholesaling does not avoid falling in foreclosure if ultimately, the owner will no longer be the owner.

What You Need to Know About How to be a Real Estate Wholesaler

From the previous 7 steps, you must work hard to become an expert in two areas: finding buyers and profit estimation.

  • Finding buyers is crucial as they are the ones closing the deals and making you money. Wholesaling websites like Craigslist is the fundamental initial step. Group meetings is also a good way to get to know potential investors and later send them and others some advertising material. Follow this order, start by finding a target audience and then invest money on advertising to make it worth. After a few deals, you’ll get to know your investors preferences to get into the deals you know they’ll like.
  • Your profit is the whole point of wholesaling. Make sure you make the right math before you spend too much time, energy and resources on a property that can’t make you the profit you were expecting.

Clauses in Your Wholesale Realestate Contract

Your clauses are nice wording that must benefit you in every step of the way and even save your skin before any incident. Make sure to include the following clauses:

  • Out clause: this one makes sure you are not obligated to purchase the property if you can’t find an investor, aka “partner” on time.
  • Assigning clause: this one allows you to wholesale a property to any person or business entity, and the owner doesn’t have to be aware about it. This way, you can sell the contract without putting any money to buy the house first.

Final, Short, Important Tips About Property Wholesaling

  • Keep your assigning contract as simple as possible.
  • Do not offer legal advice about the contract to the buyer or seller unless you are a licensed attorney.
  • Do not introduce yourself as a brokerage unless you are licensed as one.
  • Stay neutral and consult an attorney if any questions arise.

Civil unrest? I’ve got a mask for that…

I’m not trying to make light of things. I know next week is the election. I know people are on edge and this is no joking matter. I’m with you. I get it.

I don’t know if next week will be a big nothing burger and I should make my doctor’s appointment or wait to see if riots break out. Strange times. That’s why today I’ll give you a historic lesson on voting in America…not! The only voting I can fully explain is how an American Idol is picked.

Here’s what I can do. I can make you think about frivolity for just 5 minutes. Join me in a little distraction why don’t you. A little respite from reality. Not at a Kardashian level (that was crazy, did you see it? Private island! Holograms of dead dads! Nuts).

If you are like me, you’ve done a lot of online shopping during the past few months. I’ve done more than usual. And I buy all kinds of crap. In the documentary, The Social Dilemma (did you see this? Even scarier than the Kardashians fiddling away while Rome burns). Anyway one of the creators of Instagram says that social media is now just a mall. She’s so right. It’s just so easy. And there’s been nothing to do, and nowhere to go.

One of my best qualities is that I don’t discriminate where I buy clothes from. Did you know Costco sells dresses? I do. I’ve worn one to a big meeting at work. I’ve worn Walmart pjs as a dress too (no one knew). I have no shame. Online is no different. I’ll buy from Bergdorf’s, QVC, China – I don’t care. I’ll buy it all. It’s the same with beauty products. I’ll buy almost anything from almost anywhere.

So here’s what I’ve gotten recently and my two cents on it:

I’ll start with my favorite. My son Jack gave this to me as a birthday present back in May and I used it up in just a few weeks. I’m on bottle number 3 now. It’s so so good – exfoliates, makes your skin brighter, tingles a bit and smells like pumpkin! Very on brand for this time of year. Get yourself some asap. Worth all $60.

This stuff is AMAZING. Quai pronounced KAY? QWAY? QWO? I dunno. But it’s so good. Rose hair and body oil that I also use on my face. I’m like an oil slick at night. It’s attractive. This was like $16 – and a little goes a long way. It smells lightly of rose and sinks right into your skin and hair. Heaven. If heaven was a rose oil.

This next purchase happened because I follow Goop on Instagram. The first 1,000 times they advertised it I looked away. Then I gave in and got it. It’s $55 for a big fat tub. The ads had these really crunchy women in short shorts lathering on huge amounts. They seemed really moisturized. I am still using it, but it’s just meh. Just ok. I wouldn’t spend the money. My search for a good all body moisturizer continues. I’ll keep you posted.

This. THIS. Have you used it? Do you hate it? This came from my daughter’s stash. She tried it once and had to remove it immediately. It burned too much. If you know me, you know this was music to my ears. Burned you say? Like a layer of skin off? Sign me up! And she’s right. It’s highly uncomfortable. I love it. Reviews all agree with Kera. No one likes it. I’ll definitely be buying it again. $15. Go get it. I dare you.

We were late to this game. I know many of you already knew about this but I’d never heard of Dr. Bronner’s! Holy moly it’s good. Is it scary that I can use it as a body soap and then use it to remove soap scum in the shower? Why yes it is! But as stated above, if it’s tingly…it’s for me. Buy the bottle for your reading pleasure alone. A giant bottle is $10. I’ve been using this one since May. No joke

Last but not least. These cooling water eye patches are the best. And I’ve tried many. These are the best. They cool. They calm. I love them so much I put them on to write this blog.

Happy weekend everyone. Deep breaths. xoxo

Shaking sh&t up

These past few months have been a cocoon of work and home and work. The biggest excitement I’ve had is finding a new show to watch (Atlanta!). Other than that it’s been the usual post holiday hibernation. Which I actually love.

But not today. Today I shook sh&t up.

That’s what my husband calls it. We’ve done it before.

Hey we’re in our 20s and have no prospects for the future… let’s have a baby!

Hey there’s a new job that requires us to uproot our family and move to a town where we don’t know anyone…let’s do it!

Hey husband…you should leave your crappy but stable job and start your own business!

You get the point.

So at 5:15pm today I went for it.

Only this time it wasn’t as crazy as moving or quitting my job.

I got a haircut. A big big haircut.

Like all my hair gone haircut.

This is what the salon looked like afterwards. Like a hair crime scene.

It was so much hair that other stylists came over to talk to my stylist.

“I never get to have fun like that,” they said

“Ugh! My person wanted an 8th of an inch taken off,” they cried

Not me. You could have made a tiny wig with my leftover hair.

Why you ask? What made me do it?  I truthfully decided on getting this cut about 2 weeks ago.

Here’s the part where I share the story and you try hard to not think I’m crazy.

For the 25+ years I’ve known my husband he’s tried to get me jewelry. Sometimes it’s completely right-on. Most times it’s…off. This is not news for him to hear. I’m good at a lot of things, but one of them is not pretending. My face shows all my truths instantly. He’s had his heart-broken by my narly look after many an important gift giving moment. Christmas morning. Birthday dinner. Valentines…you get it. I’m horrible. As you can also imagine after years of this kind of emotional gamble – he’s stopped. And I’m totally ok with it. And actually our gift giving to each other has kind of faded. Which sounds sad but it’s not. It’s awesome. It’s a relief. Judging yet? It’s ok. I’d judge us too.

But two weeks ago he surprised me with a set of beautiful, dreamy, totally me earrings. These earrings were made for me. They are simply the best gift I’ve ever gotten from him. The. Best. Almost like he’s waited for a decade to get me the perfect gift.

Cut to today. I started thinking about Thursday, when I’ve asked him to take me and my earrings out for dinner. I can’t wait. But something was off. You couldn’t really see my earrings because my hair had gotten super long and super out of control.

So I decided there was only one thing to do. Chop my hair.

When I showed my husband he laughed and said,”Look at you. Shaking sh&t up”

Yep. Always. Just like you taught me.

Hello old friend

Because it’s been a really tough few weeks in the world and I think you needed laugh.

Because this is what I looked like the summer before I went to college and I’m feeling nostalgic with my oldest going away in the fall.

Because even though that outfit seems pretty simple, I spent HOURS thinking about it.

Because those earrings were as heavy as they looked.

Because those shoulder pads didn’t even come with that shirt – I added them!

Because I was rocking a matte lipstick way before the Kardashians (thanks to Wet n Wild).

Because that hairstyle needed those sunglasses.

And mainly because I probably still own and wear some version of this outfit.

That’s why I’m sharing this picture that my sister found of me….hold on to your 80’s cause here I am!

Day 4

Sometimes on a Sunday morning, when we aren’t traveling or visiting family I like to go to my favorite place of worship – the blow out bar. No offense to the other places of worship but they don’t make me feel as good.

Do you have a blow out bar near you? Are you hooked? I used to go to my hair salon to get this done – but I always felt a little guilty. Like I was under utilizing the joint. No cut, no color, just a quick 30 minute procedure. A few months ago a friend told me about a new place that opened up near us (ok not NEAR, but you know, next town over). It’s a dream. Walk in walk out.

During my last visit, the stylist told me that I should be able to keep my hair in good condition – no washing – for 4 days. Four days. 96 hours without a shampoo.

I know my sister-in-law Colleen is gagging. She needs to wash her hair every day. I know my husband is wondering when I find time to go (I make time), and I know my friend Howard is reading this post and asking,” what is this F’ing post about?”.

It’s about not washing my hair for 4 days!!!

Here’s how she she convinced me:

  • She said hair goes through cycles, it’s dry then oily then dry. We are so panicked when it gets a little oily that we jump to washing it. But those oils aren’t dirt – your hair needs those oils.
  • Unless you are sweating during a workout or in sand or actual dirt – your hair stays clean a long time. Sweating during a workout. That’s hysterical.
  • If you are really grossed out by day 3 – use a dry shampoo to help refresh (although she thinks it’s not needed)
  • What’s the harm in trying? And you can sleep 20 more minutes. Done.

So I’m on day 4. Does it look as amazing as day 1? No. Do I have to tease it a bit to get some life – oh yes indeed.

I don’t know if I’ll do it again – it was tricky to shower every day without getting it wet. My shower felt incomplete. But extra sleep and no blow dryer in the morning is awful tempting.

Here’s a pic of day 4 (today) – not bad right? Look ma no greys!

mi frizz es su frizz

It’s hot here.  It’s so hot and sticky and uncomfortable that when you’re in the shade and it’s a cool 99 degrees, you think you’re happy. You are delusional my friend. It’s still awful. I’ve made thinking about, complaining about, whining about the weather a full-time job.  That’s probably because my kids are both away so I have to fill my days obsessing about other things. Although I’m doing so much better than last year – here’s my camp tale from last year incase you missed it!

Anyway – back to the present. Because my nights aren’t spent bossing kids around or driving kids around or driving them crazy – I’ve been doing fun stuff. Stuff like not doing the laundry. Do you know how much fun you can have when you don’t do laundry? I’ve also been not cooking, not cleaning, and not leaving the house. It’s been a hoot.

I’ve also gone totally nuts and started using my kids’ bathroom. Note to self: add “having your own bathroom” to your list of things to look forward to when the kids move out. Ofcourse part of the fun of using their bathroom is using their products. Truthfully it’s my daughter’s products. My son uses whatever bottle he finds to wash everything from his hair to his toes. He once used just conditioner for a whole week. True story.

So while plundering her products – I discovered this little beauty.

If you have sleek, smooth, frizz free hair – don’t use this product. But if you, like me, dream of the non-brillo head without a straightening iron – this is for you! If you read this blog regularly (thank you so much if you do) – you know that I have been trying to go “free” with my hair. No products. No blow-outs. No nothin’. It’s been rough. I’ve been wearing a lot of headbands. And hats. And paper bags.

After one use of this amazing, great smelling product, here’s what my hair looked like. Air dried. No products. I swear on my blog.

Come on! Where’s the frizz??  Not here baby!!

Things that make you go….f**##%@!

Not a post. Just a thought.

Unless a store runs out of gifts (aka merchandise) – they should not run out of gift boxes.

To all those stores who try to “sell” me a box….for shame. FOR SHAME!!!

(I know many sad things have happened in our world and this is nothing. But I need to focus on something or else I’ll go mad!)

Girl, Uninterrupted

Yesterday was “International Day of the Girl”. Did you know that? I didn’t. I thought it was “International Day of the Conference Call”. asked some of the most impressive women in the world what they’d tell their 15-year-old self. I won’t tell you how many times I tried to link that article to this post and failed. Just know that I tried.  WordPress is getting under my nerves. I digress.

Here’s what I would tell my 15-year-old self if I could:

  • Even though they are driving you crazy right now – your family will be the most important thing in your life.
  • Although you’ve been plotting to get the hell out of Pennsylvania – in about 20 years you’ll be back – and love it.
  • Be kind to everyone. You have no idea what they are going through.
  • In 4 years you’ll meet the man you’ll spend the rest of your life with. Sorry. It won’t be David Canfield. You’ll do much better.
  • Go get your eyebrows waxed. Today. Now.
  • All the reasons you think you’re goofy, dorky and weird will be all the reasons why people love you. Lighten up.

Not as eloquent as Melinda Gates or Oprah – but there you have it.

I couldn’t find a picture of myself at 15 – but here’s one that’s close enough. Yes, that’s a maroon velvet vest I’m wearing. There may or may not have been a matching skort on the bottom.

La Jolla, CA and other things I love

October has always been a busy month. Busy and fun and my absolute favorite. The weather changes, there’s plenty of birthdays and reasons to get together.  And it’s the opening act for November – my next absolute favorite time of year.

I say all this as a massive excuse to why my last post was so long ago.  What happened to daily posts you ask? Same thing that happened to my diet – it went off a cliff. Actually, I may have pushed it off a cliff. I’m tired!

Let me catch you up. Here’s what I’ve been up to:

  • Went to La Jolla, CA and fell madly, deeply in love with San Diego.  I think I’m really a surfer dude inside (without all the physical activity)
  • Although I was there for work – I had a life changing make-up/product experience. More below. Thank you Kathy the make-up artist!
  • I’ve decided that living next to the ocean needs to be in my future.  I’ll have to clue my husband in on this plan.
  • Came home and swiftly over decorated for Halloween.  I need help.

This should be everyone’s view from work…

Or this…

When not staring at the ocean, I was staring at all the goodies our make-up artist brought. Her name was Kathy. She set me straight.

For the majority of my life I’ve been searching for the perfect lip color. In high school I wore a bright red lipstick every day – cause I was cool like that. Then I moved to a more bronzy brown for most of my 20’s. My 30’s were obsessed with finding the perfect nude lipstick (damn you Jennifer Lopez).  In my 40’s I’ve given up and gone with chapstick. And then Kathy walked into my life. Or I ran into her make-up bag – whatever.

In one quick minute she told me,”you can’t wear a nude shade on your lips. It doesn’t look good. You need a plum. Let me help you.” What followed is tears, joy, and triumph. Too much?

Here’s my perfect color.  I would never ever have guessed it.

Although these pictures are blurry – I told you I was excited – it was important to show you.  This lip liner went on like butter and stayed on all day. I’ve already bought some. Thank you Sephora and Lisa Watier.

Here’s some other random stuff in her bag that was genius. Yes, I went through her bag.

To the left, antiperspirant for your face.  Even in full on humidity and heat – your face stays completely matte and dry. To the right, the reason everyone on TV looks like they have perfect hair. Sigh.

So that’s it. That’s what I’ve been up to, in to, at. That and you know, work, motherhood, wifedom, etc.

And here’s a look at our front door. Christmas sweaters here I come!

Event Planning 101

This picture was taken at The Ritz in Denver.  It was a sample wedding setting.  I thought it was hideous.  Almost painfully ugly.

I walked by it and snapped a pic so I could make fun of it later, in detail.  About a second after I had taken the picture, two women walked by and said, “omg, that is stunning!”  While we were there that night – at least 5 other women commented on how great it looked.  Maybe I had better taste then them.  Maybe they didn’t really know what style was…or maybe I just needed to calm down.

I keep this picture on my phone to remind myself that just because I think it, doesn’t make it true.  It’s my opinion, a preference – not bible.  Amen.

Uniform explained

I wear the same outfit every day.  I love it.  Black top, denim skirt (or jeans).  When I’m at work, I jazz it up a little – but not much.  Sometimes on a hot summer day I break out the grey.  That’s about it.  I feel no need to change – ever.  This picture explains why.

For most of my childhood I was Rainbow Bright.  That dress I’m wearing – bright pink with a turquoise sash?  It was reversible – no joke – flip side was turquoise with a pink sash.

Now please – go off and wear your yellows and greens.  More power to you.  But with any luck, I’ll be 90 and still wearing my uniform.

Side note….

Just look at my mom.  She looks so hip and beautiful.  This picture was taken when we lived in Queens (all Indians must live in Queens at some point, it’s a rule). The baby on her lap is my cousin – who is literally 8 feet tall now – really.

Matpat (Matthew Patrick) Wife, Girlfriend, Age, Net Worth, Wiki, Height
Image source

MatPat is an actor, writer, producer, but most of all an internet personality who is the creator and narrator of the YouTube web series ‘Game Theory’.

In the web series, he comments on topics such as logic, scientific accuracy, and the game industry, including comments on various video games. From this, he has gained the insight to create two of YouTube’s most popular live game channels – ‘GTLive’ and ‘MatPat’s Game Lab’.

The Ohio-born millionaire has collected over 13 million subscribers and over 1.6 billion views on all three YouTube channels by 2017.

Matpat Biography – Age

MatPat was born on November 15, 1986, in Medina County, Ohio, as Matthew Robert Patrick. He is the only child of his parents. As he grew up, he developed a keen interest in acting, but he also devoted a great deal of attention to his education and even went so far as to skip lunch to take some extra classes and take courses on the college campus. This led to him achieving perfect scores on his SATs and becoming valedictorian of his senior class. His good results earned him a full academic scholarship to the prestigious Duke University in North Carolina, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Neuroscience (Psychology) and Theater.

Immediately after graduation, Matpat moved to New York City to pursue an acting career. He set up his first YouTube account in 2009, where he would upload videos of his auditions for various roles. After about two years with little to no work, he began the web series “Game Theory”, in which he discussed the relationship between reality and play in relation to science, mathematics, and culture. Soon after its premiere, the series became very popular and soon became known for its owner’s educational, consistent and profound approach to game analysis. It was only natural that its success produced many other offshoots, including “Game Exchange”, “Digressing and Sidequesting”, “Smash History” and “Breakdown”.

The success of “Game Theory” with over 8.2 million subscribers led to the creation of a second YouTube channel called “The Film Theorists”, which, like its first channel, focused exclusively on the film and series industry and discussed its scientific and cultural aspects. The first video uploaded to the channel focused on the science of the television series ‘Doctor Who’. Within a month of its release, the channel had over one million subscribers. Its popularity continued to grow, and by 2017 the channel had over 4.6 million subscribers. Other notable movies or series covered by the channel include ‘Star Wars, ‘Marvel Studios, and ‘Harry Potter’. The channel also has successful spin-off shows.

But that’s not all, the man created another YouTube channel, his third in 2015, which he called “GTLive”. He dedicated the channel to streaming gameplay with his wife. This channel is also very popular and currently has over one million subscribers. It streams about five days a week with about 80,000 to 110,000 viewers per stream.

In June 2016, he shot another show called “MatPat’s Game Lab” on YouTube Red, Google’s paid subscription service that focuses on putting video gamers in real-life scenarios modeled on those in video games.

His Net Worth

Apart from his quite lucrative YouTube career, which has earned him various prizes and paid him through the policy of monetizing views of the online video platform, MatPat has benefited from his digital media company (Theorist Media), which he founded and owns together with his wife. He has also done some voice-over work in the animated series ‘Transformers: Return of the Titans’ as Computron.

Taking into account all his efforts, his net worth is estimated at about $2.3 million.

Wife or Girlfriend, Is MatPat Married?

Yes, he is taken! The man is married to his long-time girlfriend, Stephanie Cordato, with whom he currently owns several businesses. The two met at Duke University, where they formed a relationship after working together on the parody “Legend of Zelda” entitled “The Epic of Stew”.

The couple got married in May 2012 after MatPat proposed to her through a video. They currently live in Los Angeles, California with their pet cat nicknamed CatPat, and the family will have a new member in July 2018, as they have announced that they are expecting a baby boy.

The unrelenting feud between Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and the Republican controlled state Legislature was in full bloom this month as lawmakers scrapped nearly 400 items from Evers’ proposed budget and decided to start from scratch using the current budget as a base.

Were there any survivors? Why, yes, there was at least one notable exception to the budget carnage: a $100 million state venture capital fund.

In a rare case of agreement, Evers’ proposal for a “fund of funds” to bring in outside investment to the state to support local businesses.

Evers’ proposal had the endorsement of eight former secretaries of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. – five who had been appointed by Republican governors and three by Democratic governors.

It even got some qualified support from assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R- Rochester, who said he “supported legislation in previous sessions that invested state dollars to increase venture capital available to Wisconsin companies. But before more public funding is put in I’d like to see some concrete results from past investments.”

The state already promotes venture capital with its Badger Fund, a $61 million fund that has distributed $20 million to five different funds to invest in companies. About $7.5 million of that has been paired with $24.5 million in private funding to support 24 businesses, according to USA Today reports.

The new fund of funds would follow that model. WEDC Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes said the fund “would allow Wisconsin entrepreneurs to secure needed next-step financing from in-state course so they don’t have to look to, or move to, the coasts for capital.”

Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Technology Council, said other close-by states have such programs – including Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. “When these companies do land, they produce a lot of revenue, a lot of jobs, a lot of salary and a lot of tax revenue.”

That, of course, would be good for the entire state of Wisconsin and Evers and Vos apparently see eye-to-eye on that.

Now only if such agreement could spread to other parts of the budget.
