Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Craftsmaking in Colorado

By Mercie Hallow

The art of crafts making is a simple hobby that can be transformed into a money making opportunity. Crafters are people who bravely turned their hobby a little step further: by selling them. There are many crafts available nowadays that are fun, easy and quick to make. Craft making is a womans hobby though there are males who are also getting the hang of it. Crafts making is a sure way to boost ones creativity and style.

Jewelry making is an example of crafts making. A beginner can easily make her own jewelry bracelet by following these simple techniques. The first step in making a jewelry bracelet is to prepare the materials to be used. The materials are: beads, nylon string, a pair of scissors, needle and jewelry clasps. Place the beads into the string while occasionally checking out the length by wrapping it around your wrist. Stitch the jewelry clasps at both ends to close. The simple beaded bracelet is done!

Homemade candles are indeed very easy to make and fun to do. Ingredients for a homemade candle are: paraffin wax, candle mold, dye wax, wax scents, metal saucepan, spoon and thermometer. Melt the wax into the saucepan and add the dye and wax scent of choice. Remove from heat and transfer to mold. After cooling, remove from mold and place in a wax paper to air dry.

Homemade soap making is a very refreshing alternative in dealing with soaps. The ingredients for homemade lavender soap are: a bar of color free or no fragrance soap, a double broiler, soap mold, almond oil, lavender oil and almond oil (for moisturizer). Mix all the ingredients together and remove from heat. Transfer to mold, let it cool and place in wax paper to air dry.

Scrap booking is also a hobby that can turn into a money making opportunity. Scrap booking consists of photos adorned with embellishments, buttons, ribbons and other trinkets. It is a fun and creative way to organize your photos in a fashionable way.
