Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo

We all have those long days at work with no time to go home and freshen up before your evening’s plans.  Especially during the hot and humid months during the summer, my hair can feel weighted down and oily.  Oscar Blandi’s Dry Shampoo is a quick fix and definite summer must-have.  The powder absorbs oil and removes hair product build up leaving your hair smelling lemony fresh and clean, as if you had just washed it.  The product does not contain sulfates, chemical dyes, and other harsh chemicals that are harmful to your hair and health.  It is so easy to use–no water or additional styling products or equipment required.  Just the dry shampoo and a hair brush!  Once you try it, you won’t be able to live without it this summer!

Perfect additions to your St. Patrick’s Day feast! hr

I try to be as festive as possible for any holiday whether it’s the decor, attire, or food being served.  Corned beef and cabbage is not entirely my favorite dish, but it is always prepared for St. Patrick’s Day.  This year, I plan to create a few extras dishes I know I will enjoy and am happy to share them with you.  Best of all, the recipes require few ingredients and are easy to make!

Motivation hr

I love how the start of a new year is like starting over on a clean slate.  This is the first business article I read this year.

Whether you just started your own business or own several companies, it never hurts to go back to the basics.

Sweet Treats = Sweet Success hr

In this economy, many businesses did not have the budget to purchase gifts to give their clients.  With that being said, I really didn’t anticipate many large orders for gift baskets this holiday season.  Boy was I proven wrong!

Our regular clients were ordering up to 90 gift baskets.  We were making deliveries during the day (using a cargo van we had to rent) and packaging gift baskets at night.  Our office space was filled with thousands of cookies and other delectable baked goods made by the Little Oven, stacks of assembled gift boxes, spools of ribbon hanging off shelves, and glitter all over the floor.  It was crazy yet so exciting!

What was exciting is that the people receiving these Little Oven baskets started contacting us to find out if there was still time to order baskets to give to their clients, friends, and family.  They commented on how wonderfully packaged the baskets and didn’t want to open them because of how nice they looked.  We also heard that bosses took the gift baskets home to their family instead of leaving it in the break room for their staff.

After reluctantly tearing open the baskets, everyone raved about the cookies and cakes.  What were the most popular items?  The brownie, java, berry, and Melona lavosh.  Coffee cake, guava shortbread, and chocolate mac. nut cookies were also a fan favorite.
