Mr. Roe – Health & Medicine

Clothes are one of those necessities in life that tell people who you are before you even have a conversation. When you see someone in scrubs, you would think doctor, nurse, or someone in the medical profession. How about if you see someone in a business suit? You would think of office professionals such as banker, stock broker, etc. What would you think if someone wore an outfit that was wrinkled, out of style, faded, wrong size, or holey? You would think of that person being sloppy, unprofessional, or lazy.

It’s unfortunate, but we judge others based on what they wear. When you wear an outfit, you want it to say a positive message about yourself. You can spend very little on an outfit and still look good. Read these clothing shopping tactics below, so you can buy cheap clothes, but look expensive at the same time.

Where do you start?

Buying baby clothing can be tricky business, especially for first time mums, there are so many baby dresses and outfits to choose from! I know I had a difficult time and made some blunders with my purchases along the way. Take advice from the guide below there are plenty of tips from mums on ‘how to buy baby clothing’ successfully.

1) What kind of baby clothing will I need?

Buying baby clothing can be a boggling experience, as your bump grows you will probably start to panic – ‘I don’t have any baby clothes!’ You will probably do what I did and start wandering around all the stores that sell baby clothes, baby furniture, baby gifts and so on. The choice is endless, this is where the danger lies in buying too many clothes for baby.

Too many baby clothes means your baby will only wear them once or twice (or sometimes not at all), babies grow very quickly and the next size up in that special outfit is needed before you know it! Leaving you with the cutest outfits ever, but no VALUE FOR MONEY.

The ideal way to buy baby clothing is to make sure you have enough outfits to get you through the week in a couple of different sizes, but not so many that you have overflowing drawers of baby outfits that haven’t even been unwrapped before your baby gets too big to wear them; or duplicate clothing that you didn’t really need.

Well, to be fair, duplicate baby clothing isn’t that big of any issue really, especially in the early days when baby clothes can only be worn once and usually for a couple of hours and all clothing needs to be continually washed and washed! In the early days make sure you have numerous baby dresses, bodysuits, comfortable playgro suits, and sleeping suits, basic tees, comfortable cotton pants, warm cardigans and coats or sunhats, depending on the season.

Before you buy new baby clothes check what time of the year your baby will be born, it could be around sale time, which is the best time to buy bulk lots of newborn baby clothing that you are going to need.

Once all of the confusion has settled you will have an exciting time buying your first newborn baby clothes, it is much more fun than buying clothes for yourself (honestly) – and then in time you will be having more fun when your baby grows out of that first lot of clothes, you will find yourself a more experienced shopper in the baby clothing department.

Sizes of Baby Clothing:

Sizes of baby clothing vary from manufacturer to manufacturer so we haven’t listed a definitive sizing guide here. Newborn sizes generally start from 0000 but this is actually quite a small size and unless you have a smaller than average baby, you might only get a month or two from this size. The best advice is to pre-buy in size 000 and then buy extra supplies in the 0000 size if you need to after the birth. Check labels for weight and height guidelines before you buy (average birth weight is 3.5kg). baby clothing tips

What to look for when Buying Baby Clothes:

wide necks, or easy fastenings to get clothes over baby’s neck easily

fastenings to enable you to remove and change a nappy without completely undressing baby

snaps / press-studs are easy, safer and quicker than buttons

no rough seams or uncomfortable material – natural, cotton, etc, is best

machine washable

check that buttons are sewn on well (baby could choke on little buttons)

no loose threads that little fingers or toes could get caught in

avoid ribbons and strings that babies can wrap around their necks

Hopefully this comprehensive guide to baby your babies first clothes has been helpful to you! Remember, don’t rush in a buy too many clothes before your baby is born, you can always buy more of the garments you need after the arrival of your newborn.

The season of early Christmas shopping is here, and surely, we will be spending a huge amount of money. So for this, let me give you some tips about the best time to shop in order to save for up to 60 percent while having the best choices available.
In season clothes are expensive, if you want to buy something that is on the “new arrival” section and you cannot wait until it goes out of season, you can wait for six weeks after that item was first introduced at that store. Maybe it would not be as cheap as when it is on clearance sale, but still, you will get it at a discounted price. Thursday is usually the first day of a sale so don’t wait until weekends because you might not have the chance to get the right size and style you wanted to buy. On the other hand, if you could wait until that item goes out of season, well you can absolutely avail of a big slash on its introductory price. Usually, stores stock clothes around two months before the actual season, so for example, buying spring clothes during summer or winter could give you great deals on prices from stores having their clearance sale going on. Just make sure that the items you buy do not go out of style easily and would still be “in” by the time you wanted to use them.

For women spring clothing, it is advisable to start shopping for it around end of June. Summer clothing usually goes on sale around end of August until the beginning of September and around the end of November for Fall Clothing and end of February for winter clothes. For Women’s Clothing, it is strongly recommended to follow the seasonal sale times listed above, for the very best deals. On the other hand, men’s clothings are best purchased around August and December. While July, September, November and December seem to be the best months to purchase Children’s Clothing. For beach and resort wear, it is advisable to buy them at around August while Winter Coats go on sale around March. Formal Dresses, Men, and Boy’s suits can be found on sale typically on April or November. Lingeries on the other hand can be best purchased by January, May and July.
I hope that by following these tips, you could find great deals on the items you wanted to buy, so be a smart shopper.

Summer is officially here and that means, kids running around the house, barbecues and house parties and with that action keeping the house clean at all time it is not an easy task.

So to aid you with this never ending job we put together some cleaning to help you keep you house sparkling ready for the next party.

Cleaning Windows

Each summer, you should clean your outside windows and screens.
Always use a broom to remove spider webs and dirt before using water. Be careful of possible bee, wasp, or hornet nests.

Driveway and Deck Cleaning

The start of summer is a great time to do these once-a-year cleaning jobs. Our first tip is to not use a power washer! They are very dangerous to you, and can destroy your deck and driveway.

For outdoor decks, you can use a diluted mixture of TSP or deck cleaner, and then use a push broom or stiff brush to scrub the deck clean. Be sure to rinse well.

Grease stains can be treated with kitty litter or dry cement left to absorb the stain and then swept away.

Floor Cleaning Tips

Without a doubt the floor is the part of the house that suffers the most during the summer holidays, kids running in and out of the house with their shoes and trainers on, drinks that are spilled all over the house not to mention the barbecue salve all over the kitchen and patio floor.

Here are some tips on how to easily clean all types of floor:

- Ceramic tiling: Don’t use harsh abrasive cleaners that might scratch the tiles. Instead use a damp-mop on the ceramic tiles with an all-purpose cleaner. Then dry the floor with a soft cloth to avoid streaks.

- Vinyl floors: To wash this type of floor, use an all-purpose cleaning solution. Test any cleaner in a corner before using it on the entire floor.

- Wood floors: The most effective way of cleaning a wooden floor applying a liquid wood-floor cleaner with a dry wax applicator on a small area at a time. Let it soak for a few minutes, and wipe up the excess. When the floor is dry, buff with a floor polisher.

- Carpet Cleaning: The simplest way to keep your carpets clean is to vacuum regularly. But for an effective deep clean it is best to have your carpet steam cleaned.

Luggage Cleaning

Summer time also means summer holidays so it is time to get the old luggage out and clean it before stuffing them with your brand new summer clothes.
Firstly, clean the outside with a diluted mild cleanser (leather should be cleaned with a commercial leather cleaner).

If the inside has developed a musty smell, clean it with a vinegar-water solution. Then let it air dry for several days.

After your holiday and before putting the luggage away for storage, toss a fabric softener dryer sheet into the closed bag, especially if you don’t use the luggage often to keep it fresh.

So now you’re set, with our cleaning tips you will have the house ready for the next bash in no time. But if you have a larger environment that needs cleaning like an office, my advice is to leave it for a professional office cleaning company.
