Going Green Wednesday: Do You Have This Issue?

These days I’m trying just as hard as everyone else to do all I can to lessen my personal carbon footprint. I must admit that I am proud of myself because I am doing better than I expected. You see, I am a person that loves convenience some of you may call it being lazy, but, I prefer the term “personal convenience”. I am, wait a minute let me rephrase that. I used to be the type of person that would send shirts to the dry cleaners just so I wouldn’t have to iron. Please don’t judge me I went to Catholic school and my mother made me iron five shirts every Sunday; so you feel my pain now? So when I decided to seriously take my responsibility for the excess waste I was creating , I decided to eliminate or cut back on many things and dry cleaning was one of them. Don’t get me wrong I still send items like my winter coats to the dry cleaners. But by cutting back on this one convenience that made my life so much easier, I’m eliminating the use of the extra plastic that is used to cover my clothing.

Rolling with the Punches

I posted a tweet about a half hour ago stating "September has been a real beast". It seems with every great opportunity that has come our way this month we have encountered an equally great challenge or minor set back. But, hey, that's the life of an entrepreneur, especially a small business entreprener. The important thing is that we were able to roll with the punches, stayed focus and made it through. As for me, I'm starting my days much earlier.

How do you roll with punches when challenges or adversity come your way?

Why Nina?

Since yesterday I have received quite a few direct messages and texts after Donna Maria, founder of the Indie Beauty Network, tweeted that I named my iphone "Nina". Well those of you that are familiar with my wonderful family and friends will not be surprised to hear most of them had jokes for days while the other half felt the same as me , lost, when they realize they left it home or have forgotten it somewhere. So, to answer your questions of why I #1 chose to give it a name and 2nd why Nina? Here's your answer.

Honestly, I decided to give it a name because it's always by my side and secondly whenever someone asked me a question (like directions, temperature, time, translations...you name it) and I did not have the answer I always said let me ask my assistant (referring to the iphone & me being funny of course). So I got tired of saying "let me ask my assistant". Now, if anyone asks me a question and I do not have the answer I now say "Let me ask my assistant Nina"...LOL. I must say it's truly an instrument I use to conduct business on a daily basis. Especially as a "Small Business" owner it helps me tremendously when I am able to stay connected to all forms of social media like Facebook and Twitter when I'm in front of my laptop.

When I decided to give it a name Nina was the first name that came to mind without much thought. I then, remembered a verse in a song where they say "I keep my Nina by my side" and decided that pretty much summarized how I felt about my iphone

I'm also happy Apple finally addressed one of my biggest wishes and finally created a device that allows you to record video. Here's an excerpt from one of my previous blog posts.

"As with any product there is always room for improvement. So I feel the iphone should be upgraded to record video".

I hope you enjoyed this post! Do you have an iphone? Does it help you run your business or manage your time efficiently? What are your thoughts?

Why I've Been M.I.A.

I know I have been M.I.A for a few weeks now. And, yes there is no excuse for not posting for several weeks, but, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes at Nidasii. I have decided this blog is the best place to keep you informed of the latest happenings. For starters, we just moved into a new space and we're making much needed updates to the website. I must say a lot has changed in the last three years and its time we stepped up our game. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the new look and updates to the website. I’m even working on a few video posts. Yes, the person (me) that likes to stay in the background and work behind the scenes is stepping in front of the camera because I want to stay connected to all of you.

As always this blog is for you so please leave your comments.

Mango-go Smoothie

Hey Guys,

Yesterday I created the official mango-go smoothie. Well, after my let down when I went to get a mango smoothie and they were all out. I decided to make my own and after I slucked down two cups and was mad that I made such a small batch I had a eureka moment and decided to call it my Mango-go smoothie!!! Here are the ingredients I used to make it. Watch out Rachel Ray, I'm thinking about making my own 5 minute video tutorial.....just kidding...maybe



Frozen Mango Pulp


Mango nectar


I used vanilla yogurt because that's what I had available, but, I'm sure it would taste the same or even better if plain yogurt was used.
