Ingredients for perfect pumpkin scones
Scones always seem intimidating, but after making this recipe, I think you’ll feel like me and find them super easy to make and a go-to for your breakfast repertoire!

gluten-free scone dough:
Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
Brown Rice Flour
Baking Powder
Baking Soda
Light Brown Sugar Sweetener
Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Cloves (or Pumpkin Pie Spice)
Maple or Vanilla Extract
Pure Pumpkin Puree
Vegan Butter

 the icing:
Powdered Sugar Sweetener
Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk

​the pumpkin drizzle:

• Powdered Sugar Sweetener
• Pure Pumpkin Puree
• Cinnamon
• Pure Maple Syrup

mixing & shaping the scone doughThis seems to be the most intimidating part, but it’s actually super simple and easy!

1. Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl before you add the flavored extract, pumpkin, and super cold butter! Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or a fork.
2. Knead the dough so everything is fully combined, before shaping a large 1 inch thick round of dough on a flat, floured surface.
3. Cut the pumpkin dough into 8 long triangles. Whip your knife with extra butter for a smooth cut.
4. Evenly space out the cut pumpkin scones on a Silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. The more space between the scones, the crisper the outside crust gets!
5. Bake the scones at 400°F for about 15-18 minutes, until you see the tops start to crack.

icing & drizzling the sconesThis is the fun and (most “difficult”) part! It’s not too difficult, once you get your “drizzle flow” on, it becomes super quick and easy!

1. For the white icing, simply mix together the powdered sweetener and non-dairy milk until it’s thick but liquidy enough to spread on to the scones. It should be too drippy that it doesn’t stay on the scone.
2. For the maple pumpkin spice drizzle, mix together the ingrained in a small bowl and then pour it into a small squeeze bottle like this.
3. Once the scones have cooled, use the back of a spoon or butter knife to spread on the white icing first and allow it to set and harden for a few minutes.
4. Now in a zig-zag, squeeze on the pumpkin drizzle using the squeeze bottle, starting from one corner of the scone and ending at the longer tip.

baking tips & tricks

• I use a combination of gluten-free all-purpose flour and brown rice. This keeps the scone crumb, soft but tender, slightly flaky, and crisp on the outside. You can use only all-purpose if you prefer, but combining flours is the key to good gluten-free baking and scones in general.
• Scones are not meant to be overly sweet. The actual pumpkin dough only has 1/4 cup of light brown sugar. The icing and drizzle makes these scones perfectly sweet and that’s why they can be a great healthy breakfast or dessert!
• The secret to flaky tender scones is COLD butter. Leave the dairy-free butter in the fridge until the last minute. Then cube the butter and cut it into the dough. You can even chill the mixed dough again for 20-30 minutes before shaping, cutting, and baking the scones.
• A combination of baking powder and baking soda helps the scones rise and by fluffy and soft on the inside while being able to crisp like a cookie on the outside.
• Don’t over knead the dough with your hands. Just enough to combine everything, but you don’t want the butter to be completely blended in or the dough to become chewy, tough, and too dense.

storage and freezingIt’s best to serve your scones right after baking them, warm from the oven with a simple icing and drizzle. However, to store baked scones, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature, like any muffin, for 2-3 days. You can keep them in the fridge too, but bring them to room temperature before serving. To freeze the scones, bake and store in a Ziplock bag for 4-6 months. Thaw in the fridge before icing them and warming to serve.

As a buyer, I have benefited from  email coaching a few various stages in my life. I’d love to use this blog pointing out why I personally employ email coaching as effectively as some of the conceivable advances of email coaching.
When I first started into the coaching system, I was yet handling with some leftover moods, emotions, and battles from my early trauma events.

Many times, the nature of my anxiousness revealed itself was that I was just incapable to get on the phone (or video) with a coach that I had paid lots of money to.
So when the moment for our anticipated appointments would occur, I would either initiate an emergency or I would just blow them off. It wasn’t one of my loveliest moments but I was actually going on the best I could.
For so long, email coaching was such an excellent fit for me.
 
Until my world changed and I had the time and the capacity, being on the phone/video with a coach, email coaching was sincerely the strongest preference for me.

I again discovered that it supported me to develop the value I picked up out of the coaching session. I lead an active lifestyle, where I’m continually doing tasks and flying from appointment to appointment.

It can be pretty discouraging to not have the goals reached that I brought with me to a coaching session.
With email coaching, I can make sure that all of my goals become dealt with. It still excludes the (at times) awkward chit chat that I encounter with in some personalities.
​
I’m not by any stretch of the imagination assuming that every character would either advance or be applicable for email coaching. But for some characters in the world, email coaching is unquestionably the excellent fit.

​

1. Email Coaching Is More Relaxed: Some people forward an email first task in the morning and right before they go to bed.

 
Other people send a few emails throughout the day, as reflections arise to them or as issues come up. Many clients truly value that they get to go at their own pace in email coaching. They value not being put on the spot to produce an answer, and instead having some time to process the questions.
 

1. You Have Time To Process Your Replies: I’m positive many people have had the understanding of being challenged a question, and not knowing a suitable return.

 
And later hours (or frequently even days) thereafter, the exact return appears to you. However, many times effectively suggests to be no point in continuing back and resolving. And alike if you do, the other person has moved on. One of the many advances to email coaching, is that it offers you time to refine and build your reply.
 

1.  Eliminate The Scheduling Pressure: In the current world today, many individuals don’t have time to pick up the phone or video to have an hour discussion.

 
Many of my coaching clients are professionals, parents, caretakers, etc. They hardly have time many days to shower, cook, eat, and wash up after themselves. That doesn’t even appear to recount the demands of starting a relation with separate lives, meditating, exercising, journaling. We lead in a hectic and fast paced world and email coaching is a wonderful fit for people who crave to dig deep.
 

1.  Keep The Conversation For Review: In conventional coaching, one of the main frustrations is struggling to think of sections or parts of a discussion after you come back to your world.

 
Many clients disclose that they completely value being prepared to study the conversations that took place. I consider this is exclusively relevant when you are carrying out through some tremendous issues. Occasionally when people are writing, they get in the “flow” and they are not fixated on every detail with their conscious mind. Some individuals just reveal themselves further distinctly in writing than they do verbally.
 

1. Typically It’s Less Costly: One of the leading criticisms of life coaching, is the amount of financial investment needed in place to participate in it.

 
While I have never counted on or required people to mortgage their own homes or go into enormous debt to work with me, I know that conventional life coaching is nevertheless not affordable for everybody. The cost of email coaching is consistently quite less, with much more convenience to the coach involved. Consistently, instead of a per session rate, you have a predetermined agreement with much more access via email.
 

1. Low Pressure: Whereas in alternative constructs of coaching, there implies to be considerable volume of pressure to achieve, to produce up, to make results; email coaching is substantially lower key.

 
Obtaining the freedom to react, in your own time, or not answer, as you see fit receives a massive output of pressure off of you. Many of the coaching clients I work with talk about how much aid they gain from our email communication.

Everyone has trouble sleeping from time to time, but if your teen is struggling with sleep issues, it’s best to deal with them sooner rather than later.

How Much Sleep Does a Teen Need?

Teens are still growing, so they need more sleep than an adult. Nine to ten hours, and up to eleven hours, will be the norm. However, various lifestyle and other issues mean that teens seldom get as much sleep as they really need in order to maintain optimal health.

Teen Sleep Stealers

One of the main reasons teens don’t get enough sleep are the many aspects of their lives that get in the way of sleep, and/or require them to need high-quality, rejuvenating sleep - which can be difficult if they have sleep issues.

Common sleep stealers include:

* Too much schoolwork and studying
* Too much screen time on computers, smartphones, and other devices
* Too much game time
* Too much time on the phone talking or texting friends
* General stress
* Particular stressors, such as exams, bullying, relationship issues, worrying about getting into particular colleges, and so on
* Too many extracurricular activities, especially sports
* Too much TV / overly stimulating movies such as horror films or action films, especially before bed
* Media in the bedroom, such as a TV/DVD or streaming on a smartphone or tablet
* Too much exercise within a couple of hours of bedtime - it serves to energize the body

The Consequences of Poor Sleep

There a number of consequences related to poor sleep, some more severe than others. A lack of sleep can cause:

* Accidents and injuries
* Behavioral problems
* Mood disorders, such as stress, irritability, depression and anxiety
* Memory, concentration, and learning problems, often described as a "brain fog"
* Slower reaction times, such as when playing sports, or when adults are driving
* Overeating, binge eating
* Gaining weight, mainly due to the lack of sleep affecting the hormones that impact metabolism and weight loss

How Parents Can Help

It can be tough with teens, because they want to be independent and often view themselves as adults. They also often have erratic schedules, especially once they get to high school, where they might have free periods and varying start times in school. However, here are some ways you can help.

1. Establish a regular bedtime for yourself each night, in order to set a good example for your teen.

2. Establish a regular wake-up time seven days a week for everyone in the family.

3. Make time for a proper breakfast that includes protein. It will set everyone up for the day and help reduce food cravings and bad food choices. 

4. Cut back on caffeine. Teens don’t drink much coffee and tea these days to get a caffeine buzz, but they do go for Red Bull, Monster and other energy drinks. Cutting caffeine can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as headache, but can also improve quality of sleep long term.

5. Try to have a sit-down dinner as a family at least three nights a week. Both parents and teens have crazy schedules, but a sit-down dinner is a great chance to connect with one another and also helps signal the end of the work and school day.

6. Encourage your teen to have a relaxing bedtime routine, such as a shower, comfortable sweats, and some light reading. 

7. Do not allow electronics in their bedroom. 

 

​There are a lot of guys out there that have seen television shows and movies that have one of those dating guru type guys promising to get you any woman you ever wanted to fall madly in love with you. There are also websites that you’ve probably seen along with eBooks all over the internet that promise you the same things as well. While these “guru’s” are making quite a lot of money with their promises, what they aren’t telling you is that it’s all a scam. They want you to give them their hard earned money so that they can go out and buy things while you sit at home reading their information.

For the most part, these guys promise you the world but very rarely ever deliver. In fact, if you actually look at what they are trying to sell you, you will find that all you have to do is go out and act like a jackass, and you will get laid every night of the week. The truth is, any woman that would fall for any guy that acts that way deserves the relationship she ends up with. If you want to have a real relationship, then you are going to have to be yourself.

Being yourself is one of the hardest and most important things that you can do in order to gain the trust that a relationship is based on. If you go into the beginning of a relationship with her thinking you are some flashy rich guy, and it turns out that you drive a Pinto and live in your mother’s basement, when she finds out you can pretty much kiss any chance of being with her again goodbye. Women don’t want to be lied to, even if it’s something small, and starting a relationship out this way will cause it to end very quickly.

All those gurus want you to ACT like you are confident when the truth is you should BE confident. There is no reason for you to act like you are confident it you really aren’t. The woman you are interested in is going to know right away if you have the confidence to be with her or not. Think of it as eating fast food your entire life and suddenly finding yourself in a 5 start French restaurant, ordering wine in French. The waiter is going to know that you aren’t from France, and she is going to know you aren’t confident.

The best thing to do is be truthful and honest with her. Tell her that you don’t have the money to go out to a fancy restaurant, then turn around and make a romantic picnic out of things you can afford. Do something small but elegant to show her who you are on the inside and you will find that it will impress her much more than trying to pull off the bad boy routine that you just paid $29.95 for online. The choice is yours, but making it the right choice is what she deserves from you.

Essential oils have been getting quite popular in recent years, but they have actually been around for thousands of years. In the past, people used essential oils for many reasons, from spiritual purposes to medication. Essential oils have a wide range of uses, and here is a little bit of information about the oils that have come to be known as nature’s pharmacy.

What Are They?

Essential oils are natural oils that are extracted from a plant or other source, and which retain the scent of the plant they come from. They are generally distilled. 

Essential oils are used for a wide variety of purposes, from diffusing them for their fragrance, to applying and inhaling them in order to receive health benefits. 

People have given anecdotal evidence of health problems that have been solved through the use of essential oils - from healing skin problems to reducing seasonal allergies and deterring insects. For many ailments, there are one or more oils that can help deal with the issue. There has been much anecdotal evidence of their benefits, as well as testing that shows them to be an effective way to deal with a myriad of issues.

How Do You Apply Them?

Essential oils are administered in three different ways. First, a person can inhale them aromatically. This can be done by using a diffuser and putting several drops of the particular essential oil into water, or just sniffing the oil directly from the bottle. 

The second way is to apply them topically. There are a few essential oils that can be applied directly to the skin, but a general rule if you are unsure is to first put a few drops into a carrier oil before applying. This can be anything from olive oil to coconut oil, as well as any other natural, pure carrier oil you have around the house. 

The third way to use oils is by ingesting them. Not all oils can be ingested, and one must be careful to take them in a way that is safe. If you are ingesting an oil, or even applying it topically, you must be sure to find essential oils that are pure and organic when possible. Because they are highly concentrated, a little goes a long way and they should be used sparingly.

What Do People Use Them For?

Essential oils are used for a variety of purposes, from maintenance of general health and well-being, to first aid and adding natural scent to homemade body products. You can use essential oils in the diffuser to help you to get to sleep or stay alert. You can use them to help calm frazzled nerves, and to give your immune system a boost when needed. 

The oils are useful when added to everything from DIY cleaning supplies to DIY skin products. They can be carried in your purse in order to help sanitize surfaces when out and about, and can help clean cuts and used in other minor accidents. You can use essential oils as bug repellent and to help heal sunburned skin. 

There is no end to the ways they can be used - alone, in combination, and when added to other bases.

Essential oils are beneficial to add to your cabinet. They have many uses for a variety of purposes, and can help you out in a pinch. Start with a few, and add more as you become familiar with using them on a daily basis.

Affiliate marketing is one way in which bloggers utilize their blog to generate revenue. The amount of revenue generated by a blog featuring affiliate marketing links may vary significantly depending on the amount of traffic the blog receives as well as the compensation offered for the affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing essentially entails creating a link on the blog to another company’s website. The other company then compensates the blog owner according to a previously agreed upon contract. This compensation may be awarded in a number of different ways. The blog owner may be compensated each time the advertisement is served, each time a unique website visitor clicks through the advertisement or each time a blog visitor performs a desired action such as making a purchase or registering with the website. This article will discuss some aspects of affiliate marketing which bloggers should understand including selecting opportunities carefully, maximizing the income potential for these opportunities and understanding the requirements associated with these affiliate marketing opportunities.

Selecting Affiliate Marketing Opportunities

There is a wide variety of affiliate marketing opportunities available. Many different companies and websites offer affiliate marketing opportunities. In most cases the blog owner simply needs to submit the website address of his blog along with some other basic information for approval. In most cases the company is not likely to reject the application unless the content of the website is deemed to be objectionable or otherwise in conflict of interest with the company’s goals. However, although getting approved to display affiliate links on your website is a rather simple process, this does not mean blog owners should select these affiliate marketing opportunities without discretion. It is a far better idea to carefully select affiliate marketing opportunities with companies who are of interest to the target audience of the blog.
A well focused blog that is reaching a specific target audience should seek to display marketing links directing website traffic to companies which complement the blog without acting as direct competition to the blog. This helps to ensure the blog visitors will not only be interested in the affiliate marketing links and therefore more likely to click on the links but will also help to ensure the blog visitors do not find the affiliate marketing links to be bothersome.

Maximizing Affiliate Marketing Opportunities

Once blog owners have selected affiliate marketing opportunities it is time to consider how they can maximize the profit generated by these links. There are a couple of critical factors which blog owners should carefully consider to help maximize their profit from affiliate marketing. This includes regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the affiliate links and promoting the blog to maximize traffic. 

Blog owners who incorporate affiliate marketing into their blog should regularly evaluate the effectiveness of the affiliate links. This can be done by comparing the percentage of blog visitors who click on the affiliate links to the overall blog traffic. A blog which has high traffic but a relatively small percentage of visitors who click on the affiliate links should consider making changes to attempt to entice more blog visitors to click on the links. These changes can involve the aesthetics, size or location of the advertisements. Making only one change at a time is recommended because it makes it easier for the blog owner to evaluate which changes are most beneficial.
​
Blog owners can also help to maximize the profit from their affiliate marketing opportunities by doing self promotion to drive additional website to the blog. This will likely be beneficial because higher website traffic will generally translate to greater profit from affiliate marketing. Additionally, the blog owner may want to occasionally mention companies for which they are an affiliate to generate interest in the advertisements on the website.

Understanding Affiliate Marketing Requirements

Finally, blog owners should pay careful attention to the affiliate marketing agreements they enter. This is important because some companies may place restrictions on the usage of a link to their website. This may include restrictions such as avoiding objectionable content, not including links or advertisements for direct competitors or restrictions on the appearance of the affiliate links. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in the blog losing affiliate privileges and the blog owner being denied compensation.
