Bummer. To make matters worse, the hotels in London were filled because of an annual carnival in the city.  There were no rooms. Double bummer. The airport staff was stressed because, well, weary travelers were stressed, which made for some unpleasant encounters.  A woman was spewing at the counter in front of me. “I must leave today, leaving tonight or tomorrow isn’t an option.” “I am sorry, the airports are closed tonight and tomorrow. ...

They claim that this giveaway harms consumers because drug companies must raise their prices to cover the costs of these freebies. Of course, this is undeniable. Any business expense, such as payroll or advertising, has to be covered and is expectedly borne by the consumer. If a company chooses not to advertise, outsources manufacturing to a country with cheaper labor, offers limited benefits to its employees, then they can sell their product at a low price. In this hypothetical example, anemic sales may doom the company quickly. Naturally, free samples are not really free. The rest of us pay for them. While this is true, I don’t think it is evil. Unlike the U.S. government, at least...

Plus, as you see, it reflects everything. (But don’t get your feathers ruffled; the architects made sure birds won’t hit it.) And no snowmobiling allowed – wilderness walks only. No word on how the hell you get up there, though. Still, we’d like to book an invisible box for the weekend, please. via Yahoo! Green Po...

Opening on Saturday, Treehotel consists of four rooms, each in a separate, unique building suspended in the canopy of the Boreal forest. Though only one of the rooms is mirrored (much to our and Double Rainbow Guy’s dismay), all of the rooms will offer breathtaking views of the forest surrounding them. The hotel also offers year-round activities, but none that hurt the environment. We are definitely putting Treehotel on our fantasy to-do list. Check out the other three rooms on Inhabitat. photo from Inhabitat via Inhabitat Post from: BlissTree Vacation in Nature — Literally: Treehotel (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3757829 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:53:15 +0100 3757829 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3721591&cid=t_195944_146_f&fid=38266&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsleepeducation.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F07%2Fdont-let-bed-bugs-take-bite-out-of.html (Source: Sleep Education) Sleep Education blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3721591 Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:19:00 +0100 3721591 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3683592&cid=t_195944_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fsmell-test-fragrance-company-scenting-low-income-housing-to-make-residents-happy%2F Scent-branding is part of the marketing plan for several retail outlets, hotels, and even casinos. Just step into a W Hotel and note the eerily similar smell to the last one you visited. Like color and light, smells can evoke emotions, making consumers happy and thus more likely to spend, return, and build brand loyalty. But one scent company is actually applying this to a living space: International Flavors and Fragrances has created a special scent that they’re planning to pump into a low-income housing building in the South Bronx, New York, filling the hallways and common spaces with – we kid you not – L’Eau Vert du Bronx du Sur. The “Green Water of South Bronx” is meant to evoke happiness and optimism for the 200 building residents. We wouldn’t necessa...

I’m not one of those people.  Whether I’m traveling for work, to see my out-of-state doc, visit family, or on vacation, cancer has made me a more neurotic traveler. At first I fought the image of me not being the spontaneous, carefree, adventuresome woman I used to be.  But then I realized that’s all just an image.  Who cares? My life is best when I adapt to my challenges and can be myself.  (And frankly, jet setters and world travelers are some of the least interesting people I tend to meet!) My first year and a half of traveling to New York for doctor appointments, I tried to make a gloomy reason for visiting New York more fun and productive. I jammed in media appearances, meetings with my agent and editor, dinners with friends...

I spent Memorial Day weekend there with my family, and I took this picture from my balcony: View from my balcony at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa While I attended lectures in the conference rooms for the La Leche League of Southern California/Nevada area conference, my husband watched the older two girls. They never even made it to the beach they were having so much fun swimming in one of the hotel’s three pools, playing in the hotel sand play area, or doing crafts organized by the hotel staff. None of us wanted to go home!

Summer school was over last Thursday and now begins the period that suggests why, to rewrite that famous line of T.S. Eliot’s, August is the cruelest month. Therapists and teachers do have to go on vacation sometime, schools shut their doors (ours are undergoing school sonstruction), and the dog days of summer cometh—-and hot and long unstructured days, which have tended to mean not the easiest of times for Charlie, who prefers the orderliness of bus waiting time, school, getting off the bus, snacks, loafing around (yes, that’s a schedule item), homework (he doesn’t have too much, yet), cello or piano p...

How so?Part of NewCastle Hotels and Resorts ... Woodcliff carries unique brain benefits to clients from several unique angles.  Below are a few I’ve experienced firsthand. Business leaders everywhere could learn from Woodcliff’s: 1. Warm welcomes – It takes interpersonal intelligence and more than a few smart skills to draw others into welcoming circles. Yesterday I returned to frigid Rochester from Florida and today I dined at Horizons in Woodcliff atop wooded hills in Fairport – trying to coax my brain back into New York’s icy grips. Barely into the restaurant I caught Jessica Lighthouse welcoming each guest and group as if they were family. This hotel enriches c...
