Introducing an entirely new breakthrough in dust mite, pollutant and allergen protection that is sweeping the nation clean! Waterbed and Futon proudly launches their new line of Healthy Bed Protection, available exclusively at: www.HealthyBedProtection.com .
According to recent information published, allergies are becoming the #1 most common ailment in North America, affecting 1 out of every 3 people. That means if you live in a household with 3 or more people, at least 1 or more of you will have some level of allergic reation, with the most common of all allergents being common dust (which contains live, active dust mites, pictured here.)
Using a revolutionary new process, the newly featured Health Guard mattress and pillow covers provide unprecedented protection and quality for you and your loved ones. Both mattress pads and pillow covers are available in a variety of quilted, cotton, terry, foam and memory foam styles, are machine washable, and developed to perform better than ever at eliminating dust and other allergents that contribute to respiratory illnesses and poor health.
“As we sleep, our bodies give off heat, excrete fluids and shed old skin and hair cells, creating an atmosphere inside our mattress and pillows that is warm, humid, and rich in decaying organic matter… the exact environment where harmful microbes flourish!”
If you think about it, all that sweat from your hair and body is absorbed into your mattress and pillow while you sleep, providing an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, germs and other contaiments to grow… contaminents that you will later breathe in and sleep on and absorb back into your body, through your skin.
Using high quality products like Health Guard mattress covers and pillow protectors are also a good financial investment, since they increase the longevity of your mattress and pillows by protecting them from dirt, spills, accidents, and thus making them last longer. And since their Heath Guard covers are also 100% waterproof, you can rest assured that your mattress investment will be protected during those growth and development (bed wetting) years for young children, as well as alleviate the embarrassment and odour of staining and soiling a mattress from adults suffering from incontinence.

Setting a Good First Impression
Introductions can be awkward, to say the least! With Christmas and other festive events among us, there are usually many social events that accompany them. Family gatherings, work parties (and spousal work parties), and church functions are just a few of the many opportunities where you will likely encounter an introduction to someone you’ve never met before.
But to many of us, the thought of meeting new people can be intimidating. Just thinking about meeting your fiancé’s family or your best friend’s chums can lead to anxiety, panic and stress. Well, stress no more!
Here are 5 simple things you can do right now, to relieve that stress while you make a positive and lasting effect on each new person you meet.
1. Smile
A smile is relaxing to both you and the person you are smiling at. It sets a non-aggressive, friendly atmosphere. Your muscles will start to relax and your stress, nervousness and anxiety levels will diminish, leaving you happier and more at peace with the new situation. Happy people are like magnets – they positively attract others to them.
2. Make Eye Contact
Making eye contact shows that you are paying attention to the person and that you think they are important. Making eye contact also holds the other person’s attention to you. Be sure not to glare or stare at them when making eye contact but instead, smile through your eyes; it’s not hard to do. One of the beautiful things about each and every one of our faces is that when our lips smile, our cheeks and eyes follow along and smile too.
3. Let Your Body do the Talking
Didn’t your mother always tell you to stand up straight? A straight posture shows confidence and a respect for one’s own self. Years ago, it was customary and thought as polite etiquette for a man to stand up, while a woman could remain seated when being introduced to someone new. Fortunately today is more about equality and treating eachother with the respect we want to be shown. Therefore, regardless of whether you are a man or woman, you should always stand up (whenever possible) when meeting someone new and in most cases, shake their hand to acknowledge and welcome them. Remember, body language speaks louder than words so if you’re body is going to do some of speaking for you in setting that good first impression, then stand up tall and let it say "I acknowledge and welcome you with confidence and self respect".
4. Say My Name, Say My Name
Destiny's Child has it right! Ever notice how you can be deeply involved in something but the slightest sound of hearing your name will make you automatically STOP what you you’re doing and look up? Our brains become programmed at a very young age to the sound of our own name and from that moment onward, our ears perk up and our brains spark at the mere mention of our name. When you meet someone new, using their name will get their attention and make them feel important. Repeating their name when you are introduced to them is also a good way for you to remember their name, which can prevent embarrassment for you the next time you encounter them.
5. Speak a Phrase
Rather than just saying ‘hi Bob’ or ‘hello Troy’, use their name in a short sentence or phrase, such as: "Hi, Nice to meet you Bob", or whatever you are most comfortable with saying naturally. Asking a question, such as "Hey Troy, what’s up?" is also a great conversation starter that shows you are interested in knowing more about them, while providing them with an opportunity to respond. Ask an open-ended question if you can, which is a question that cannot be answered by a quick ‘yes’ or ‘no’ (Open-ended questions usually begin with a Why? Where? How? or When?)
- – - – -
Using one, two or all 5 of these simple techniques will not only relax you – body, mind and spirit but they will also help you to make a positive and lasting effect on each new person you meet this season – and any season. Give it at try!
