After receiving The Newsy Neighbour Best in Business Award for Best Bakery in 2016, I spoke with The Newsy Neighbour staff to thank them for what they did for my small business – creating local awareness and increased traffic. It still sounds rehearsed, and I wish people could hear what I say about it – the emotion [ just] comes out. [It] was a heartfelt thank you because you had no idea what you did for me as a small business. It meant so much to me that so many people came in to check out My Bakery Shop and then vote for us! ~ My Bakery Shop, Langdon

WHY You Need to

Support Local Businesses When you consider how many small businesses surround you in your everyday lives, it is impressive to think about the amount of time, commitment and labor these hard working individuals contribute to make their businesses both come to life and stay alive. Yet, many people still frequent chain stores without considering their local merchant or other small business options. Customers assume that pricing will automatically be higher at a small business vs. a corporate owned store, as well as they dismiss the perks that many small businesses offer such as customer care, inventory assortment and community support......

I get it, you’re tired. Seems like everyone ------------------is these days. But instead of placing the blame on the actual reasons you are tired, -------------------you compare yourself to your co-workers and neighbours, and concur it’s just normal to feel this way. --------------------I’m here to tell you that feeling tired on a ---------------------consistent basis is NOT normal for the human body. Normal is refreshing, steady, and uplifting ----------------------energy that carries you through even the toughest of days. So if you don’t have that, your body is -----------------------crying for help and you’re ignoring it like the commercials on your PVR. ------------------------This is an opportunity to take a long hard look at the ten most common reasons you are tired, and take -------------------------some steps to get yourself back on the energy train, before you get completely derailed. --------------------------Poor digestion ---------------------------The state of digestion today is abhorrent, and what is even ----------------------------scarier is that unless someone is dealing with obnoxious pain or has been given a diagnosis, they figure nothing is wrong. That’s because they have no idea what poor digestion feels like, -----------------------------which leaves them in completely in the dark. ------------------------------It takes a lot of things to make digestion go smoothly, including your state of your mind, chewing, stomach acidity, available -------------------------------enzymes and probiotics, and effective liver/gallbladder function. If any one of these areas become compromised, your digestion -------------------------------will suffer (even if you eat good, clean food). So imagine what it’s like when you are anxious, rushed, and choose to eat highly processed food in combinations that even the most diligent of -------------------------------digestive systems can’t deal with properly. -------------------------------Yes Houston, you have a problem. -------------------------------Digestion can sap a lot of your energy, and for every one of the factors mentioned above that you do improperly, it takes more -------------------------------and more energy away from your residual energy and directs it towards the gruelling job of digestion.

Poor functioning liver -------------------------------With poor digestion and man-made chemicals in our faces 247, the liver eventually has far too many tasks than it can han-------------------------------dle. As a result, the efficient and proper handling of toxins does not get done properly, and rather than being dispatched out -------------------------------of your body, they become embedded in various tissues and organs (including your liver). -------------------------------This leads to sugar handling issues, hormone fluctuations, and -------------------------------fat deposits throughout the body. If an overly toxic body is not enough to slow you down, carrying an extra 50-100 pounds will! Combine these two factors together (and they are often -------------------------------inseparable), and you get a serious smack down in the energy department. -------------------------------Tapped thyroid -------------------------------Thyroid disease is also becoming a common complaint, and -------------------------------when it comes to energy deficits, hypothyroidism might be at the top of the list. -------------------------------Since the thyroid’s main role in the endocrine system is to regulate your metabolism, which is your body’s ability to break down -------------------------------food and convert it to energy, it’s compromised function hits you right in the energy pocketbook and the results can’t be any -------------------------------more frustrating. The worst part is this won’t change until your digestion is burning through food at a faster pace (increasing -------------------------------your metabolism, which increases your energy), and you support your thyroid health correctly. -------------------------------What causes thyroid damage? Some of the heavy hitters include poor digestion, pollution (smoke, exhaust), EMFs, heavy met-------------------------------S als, radiation (medial devices/Fukushima), low iodineN levels, and O crashed adrenals.

They will largely determine the -------------------------------energy of your body’s responses every time there is a change in your internal and external environment. It’s also important to note that these hormones closely modulate metabolic process-------------------------------es like the utilization of carbohydrates and fats, the conversion of fats and proteins into energy, normal blood sugar regulation, -------------------------------proper cardiovascular function, and gastrointestinal efficiency. -------------------------------So when you are dealing with relationship issues, financial problems, too little sleep, digestive infections, and alcohol abuse, -------------------------------your adrenals become tapped out and your energy goes POOF!

10 INDOOR PLANTS THAT CAN FILTER THE AIR YOU BREATHE WHILE PROVIDING MEDICINAL BENEFITS (Lance D. Johnson) Just the sight of a pink rose blossom can ------------------------------change a person’s outlook. The invigorating scent of peppermint alone can uplift one’s spirit. The magnificent colors, intri------------------------------cate designs, and enticing scents of certain plants indicate that something even more valuable lies beneath the surface. ------------------------------Plants are loaded with active compounds, nutritive elements, tannins, terpenes, antioxidants, and volatile essential oils that ------------------------------communicate medicinally with the cells of the human body. This is the science mankind should be studying and aligning with. ------------------------------Interacting with plants and observing the benefits can drastically improve the quality of one’s life and stimulate a deeper ------------------------------connection with self and the universe. ------------------------------Today it’s easy to stay closed off in an indoor bubble, disconnected from the natural environment, but these comfortable bubbles only hinder the body’s adaptive abilities and deprive ------------------------------the blood of fresh oxygen. Stale, indoor winter air becomes overburdened with the wastes of human respiration cycles and ------------------------------the byproducts of synthetic household products. ------------------------------Indoor plants bring the natural environment inside, filtering the air and restoring the breath that connects all. Simple indoor ------------------------------growing methods such as the Mini Farm Grow Box, can bring these plants to life inside the home, with little hassle and great results. A revolutionary home distiller can turn those plants into ------------------------------essential oils and hydrosols. ------------------------------Here are just 10 plants, among hundreds, that are great to have in the home. On top of filtering the air, these plants deliver ther------------------------------apeutic compounds that restore equilibrium in the human body. ------------------------------Rose ------------------------------The rose is a symbol of love, but more importantly, the properties of the rose petal are an act of love to the cells inside the body. Roses contain monoterpenes, natural antioxidants, and ------------------------------anti-inflammatory compounds that promote healthy function of human cells. ------------------------------Rhodiola ------------------------------The brain’s serotonin and dopamine levels can be altered due ------------------------------to various factors and experiences, but the properties of the Rhodiola rosea plant can balance neurotransmitter levels, improving one’s mood and outlook. ------------------------------Lavender ------------------------------In the presence of lavender, anxiety dissipates. In aromatherapy, ------------------------------lavender relieves headaches and depression. In clinical studies, lavender effectively treats infection and reverses degenerative ------------------------------inflammatory diseases. The oil is often used in natural body care

------------------------------In------------------------------the shuffle of modern life, it’s important to stay organized, efficient, and focused. Rosemary clears the mind, stimulates memory and increases focus. The scent alone has a powerful, positive ------------------------------effect. ------------------------------Peony ------------------------------The active ingredients in peony are anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial by nature. A unique compound called paeonol also has anti-convulsive properties and restores strained ------------------------------nervous systems. (RELATED: For more on medicinal plants, visit Herbs.News) ------------------------------Peace Lilly ------------------------------When it comes to air purification, the peace lilly goes above ------------------------------and beyond. These plants take in the moisture and pollutants from the air. Peace lillies absorb benzene, formaldehyde and tri------------------------------chlorethylene. Household chemicals such as paints, inks, rubber, dyes, detergents, plastics, gasoline, and pharmaceuticals release toxins in the air, but peace lilies filter the chemicals from the air. ------------------------------Orchids ------------------------------Feng Shui practitioners are skilled at maximizing the flow of pos------------------------------itive energy in the home. One of their favorite plants to incorporate in homes is orchids. These gorgeous plants have a beautiful ------------------------------vein-like pattern on their petals that resembles a cardiovascular system. It’s no wonder why this plant’s properties relax the blood vessels, decrease stress, and improve cardiovascular health of hu------------------------------mans. ------------------------------Basil ------------------------------Basil is an important plant used in Ayurvedic medicine. It contains compounds that alleviate headaches, colds, and digestive issues. ------------------------------Harvested fresh in the home, basil can be added to soups, pastas, and pizza. ------------------------------Boston Fern ------------------------------The Boston fern is a natural air filter that can eliminate approximately 1,900 toxins per hour, including formaldehyde. This plant ------------------------------acts as a humidifier, restoring moisture in the air to weaken the mobility of pathogens. ------------------------------Eucalyptus ------------------------------The antibacterial compounds found in eucalyptus efficiently treat infections in the sinuses, reducing inflammation and reopening ------------------------------the passageways. Antibacterial tannins from eucalyptus can be hydrolyzed and consumed to stop and prevent sickness. Afford------------------------------able, counter top distillation technology can help turn simple plants into consumable hydrosols and essential oils. Plants such ------------------------------as eucalyptus, lavender, basil, thyme, oregano, and peppermint could all be used in these machines to make pure, aromatic es------------------------------sential oils right at home. -----------------------------------------------------------Rosemary

Why It Is Important To Advertise And Market Your Business In A Recession

Our economy is lagging and money is scarce, so saving your marketing dollars is the right thing to do, right?

WRONG!

Successful marketing dates way back to Ancient Egyptian times, ------------------------------where locals would create advertisements on walls and stones in forms of Latin writing, graffiti and paintings to promote ------------------------------things such as upcoming elections, events and games. In fact, several of the walls in Pompeii were ------------------------------blanketed in messages that today, could be comparative to mass billboards. ------------------------------Then came print advertisements, then ------------------------------radio, television and now digital. Frederic Jameson, an American literary critic commented that, “My sense is that this ------------------------------is essentially a visual culture, wired for sound—but one where the linguistic el------------------------------ement … is slack and flabby, and not to be made interesting without ingenuity, ------------------------------daring and keen motivation,” (Postmod-

ernism, page 299).

They Build More than Satisfaction!

With this looming recession surrounding us, the plummeting ------------------------------oil and gas prices and the lagging Canadian dollar, it is understandable that you might be hesitant to spend money where ------------------------------money doesn’t need to be spent. But let me assure you - the above-noted doom and gloom narrative can ultimately be ------------------------------flipped and used in your favour. How so? ------------------------------With your competitors complacent------------------------------ly bowing out and cutting back on ------------------------------their spending, this is the ideal time ------------------------------for smarter companies, like yourself, ------------------------------to push aggressive marketing ------------------------------campaigns. ------------------------------Despite the rumous, people don’t actually stop spending during financially trying times. We are wired to meet our ------------------------------needs - our wants - and we require a certain amount of comfort to live. So yes, there may be some economic stringency, ------------------------------however your customers will still be shopping - they’ll just be looking for better bargains. In fact, whether consciously or ------------------------------subconsciously, your advertisements in an economy like the one we are facing right now, show your customers that you ------------------------------have staying power. They see that you still have the funds to advertise and stand strong, therefore, they are more likely to

come to you for their products during the hard times - and ------------------------------when the hard times are over, their loyalty to you will already be strong. ------------------------------Take Disney for example. They started up and prospered in the 1920’s onward, kicking off the Great Depression with a ------------------------------bang! And then there was Procter & Gamble, Camel Cigarettes, General Motors, Campbell Soup - they all flourished ------------------------------throughout and in spite of one of the greatest economic challenges of our time. And do you know why? Because when ------------------------------their adversaries were cutting advertising costs, they were increasing their own. “People must eat, even in less prosperous times,” declared Dr. John Dorrance, President of Campbell ------------------------------Soup, “Instinctively, [people] will turn to the known, substantial commodities that give them the most for their money.” ------------------------------And look at how successful Campbell’s is today - nearly 100 years later. ------------------------------The point is, yes - the thought of spending unnecessary dol------------------------------lars on the non-essentials during a recession is frightening, but I must stress the point that advertisements are anything ------------------------------but nonessential. To make groundbreaking movements and forge ahead; to be the pioneer of your industry, you need to ------------------------------have the courage to stand out amongst the rest - and that’s a lot easier to do, when the rest are out of sight. ------------------------------Nicole MH ------------------------------------------------------------facebook.com/TheNewsyNeighbour
