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.

These changes can bring about a mom's dilemma of either caring for the baby at home or pursuing a rewarding career. It is a tough decision that mothers all over the world go through every time.

This dilemma comes often to moms all over the world who wants to have best of two worlds, having a rewarding career and taking care of her baby. Stay at home moms nowadays has plenty of options to be creative and make money and one of these options is through crafting and creating homemade goodies such as soaps. Homemade soaps are very easy to make and this hobby can turn to a money-making business in no time.

To make a lavender homemade soap one should prepare the ingredients first. Ingredients are: a bar of colorless or no fragrance soap, lavender oil, almond oil (moisturizer) and purple food coloring. Heat up a broiler with a glass bowl while processing the soap, stopping until they are powdered. Next step is to pour almond oil into the glass bowl and add the soap. Mix with water from the broiler. Add lavender oil for fragrance and food coloring. Transfer the mixture o molds and let it cool.

After cooling remove from mold and place in wax paper to air dry. Allow at least 24 hours before wrapping it in wax paper or plastic sheet. Decorate the soap package by printing a piece of paper containing your business name, ingredients and contact numbers. To further create varieties of soap, put oatmeal flakes or almonds in the mixture as they are great for exfoliating. Ice cubes, cookie cutter and cookie molds are great for molding.

Indeed homemade soaps are excellent business starters for moms who want to make the best out of the time she spent mostly at home caring for her kids. It is a hobby with a low capital and guaranteed high profits!
