Diamonds In Your Legos

Posted on by

The Diamond ReserveCan you imagine your childhood Legos containing diamonds?!  Well neither can we, but some very amazing professional Lego builders have created an amazing display of the British royal family and Buckingham Palace to be displayed at Legoland in Windsor and the Discovery Center in Manchester.

The amazing creation, made entirely from Lego blocks, not only includes the queen, but the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, The Duchess or Cornwall, and other royals standing in front of Buckingham palace on the world famous balcony.  The model which was made to commemorate the Queen’s 60 years on the throne, was originally revealed at the 2012 Diamond Jubilee celebrations in London.

Now you might be wondering what this has to do with diamonds, well The Diamond Reserve was shocked to discover that this model actually contains 48 real diamonds in the crown of Queen Elizabeth II.  These small, white, brilliant, round cut diamonds are set into a Lego plastic crow that fits snuggly on top of the Lego queen’s head.  There is even a Lego of purple to more accurately demonstrate the royal crown.  Each diamond is no bigger than .50-carats and are inlaid in the same design and pattern as the real royal crown. This is truly an amazing advancement in Legos and certainly not what I used to play with!

There are many Diamond Wholesalers; Denver is full of jewelry stores and places to buy precious gems.  If you are in the market for a beautiful piece of diamond jewelry for yourself and not your Legos, come visit The Diamond Reserve today!

 

Diamond Gets Flushed

Posted on by

Many Jewelry Stores cringe when they hear stories such as this one, where a woman accidentally dropped and flushed a diamond down the toilet.  Last week, a woman reportedly went to the restroom and ended up dropping her $22,000 ring in the toilet and flushing it down.  It is a good lesson for anyone who wears expensive jewelry, to be sure and monitor your jewelry and be aware of it at all times.  It is also important to get insurance, in case something like this were to happen.

The ring was flushed down what they suspect was an automatic flushing toilet, not allowing the woman to have enough time to reach in and grab the ring prior to the flush.  This isn’t the first time automatic flushing toilets have been the culprits of flushing too quickly.  Luckily for this woman, crews were able to dig through the waste and find the ring, which was then obviously cleaned and returned to the owner.  It certainly makes you wonder who was out digging in the waste for a small ring.

The Diamond Reserve always encourages our customers to be protective of their jewelry.  Expensive jewelry Is very beautiful, but it is also something that comes with responsibility.  One must be sure to insure their large or expensive pieces of jewelry through their homeowners or renters insurance.  It is also wise to invest in a safe to keep your valuables when you are not wearing them. If you are interested in more information visit The Diamond Reserve’s website today or give us a call!

Even carpet cleaning is going green

Posted on by

carpet cleaningIt seems like almost everyone is going green these days.  This green movement even applies to carpet cleaning companies.  More and more carpet cleaners are turning to environmentally safe solutions to get the dirt and grime from your rugs and carpets.

These new evironmentally safe options are not only kind to the environment but they are safe to use around small children and pets.  Which is super important to most people, especially for someone like me whose cat left a lovely present on the carpet.  To fix this issue, we were able to take the rug to an environmentally sensitive cleaning company to get out the awful stain.  My cat is probably planning on how he is going to destroy everything else in the house because that is what he does.

Last night, I am getting ready for bed and I am cleaning dishes, picking up glasses that seem to multiply throughout the house and I find that my cat has knocked over a plant in the house and has chosen not to clean it up at all.  Can you imagine that?  He knocked over a Chinese snake plant, spilling soil and bark pieces all over the floor and he did not clean it up.  In the future, I expect for him to be a better contributor to our house and not poop on the carpet and clean up after himself.  Fortunately, there are many environmental to take care of us until he learns. Plus these solutions are tailored for pet odor cleaning which is what I am in most desperate need of.

 

The custom home theater of my dreams

Posted on by

custom home theaterMy family has this couple that have been friends of the family for many years.  However, this year was the first time that I went into their home. It was immaculate, and the best part of the home is they had a room dedicated to the best home theater system I have ever scene.  Let me walk you through just how incredible this home theater was.   Every square inch of this room is a custom home theater.   It starts with a lit box office facade on the out side of the room, complete with a marquis.   The window portion of the box office even had old timey custom curtains.

Next, you step inside the theater.  It is decked out with velvety walls, surround sound speakers, and a giant screen at the forfront.   There are also custom seating. The seating is small couched set upon a few platforms that rise like a stadium.    On top of that they also added custome movie theater lighting. Which means that they are on a dimmer. Which means just like a real theater, the house lights go up when there is no movie showing, and they go down when the movie starts to play.

Over all their theater room is quite impressive.   I was so impressed, I had never seen a home theater with so much detail.   It made me want to sit right down and watch a movie.  If only, it was my house.   Oh well, at least a girl can dream right?  Sigh, well maybe one day I will have the home theater of my dreams.

anchor textRecently I joined a new company that excels in digital marketing and website design.  It has been a great learning experience for me and the team environment has been amazing.  What I find most intriguing is when people come in to get a quote for a new website. Our team of highly trained and skilled website developers know the ins and outs web design and they can transform any boring website into something others will envy.

How you may ask?  Well they sit down with every client and determine first what the client wants from their website.  Next they determine what the client’s expectations are and how they can achieve those within reason.  Then the website design team in charge of the project will go over the entire scope of the project. They will outline the due dates for everything and what the client can explain.

During the scope meeting , the clients will be able to address any issues they may have or questions about the process.  Next the designing will take park.  This will give the client an opportunity to see the progress and make any revisions they see fit, withing reason.  Next the website development phase will take part. This is a process that is pretty much invisable to the client so you will just have to be patient.

After the development and coding portion is done the website will be able to go live. This is where you will be able to see your website in action. You will be able to play around and make sure all the links work properly.

Reasons why Denver roofing companies do repairs in the winter

Posted on by

Denver roof repairWhen you think of Denver roof repairs what comes to mind?   It is mainly something people think about in the summer, or after a big storm.  Most people do not think about doing roof repairs in the winter. But there are plenty of reasons why winter roof repairs are common. It is important that you take note of these reasons below.

1.)The weather conditions in the winter are really tough on your roof.

The harsh weather conditions of a long winter can put added stress on an already faltering roof.  In the winter the temperature fluxuates  and can make your shingles expand and contract. Which can cause crackes and curling in older shingles.  Which can then lead to leaks.

2.) Ice dams can form and cause leaks.

 The winter is the most trying time of the year when it comes to your roof.   Did you know the most common cause of roof damage in the winter is from ice dams?  Which is why Denver roofers are prepared to fix this common roofing problem even in the dead of winter.

3.) Winter conditions means faster service and more affordable prices.

In general Denver roofing companies are not as busy in the winter time and so it is much easier to get them to your home in a timely manner.  Which means your roof repairs will be finished a lot quicker than if you did it in warmer months.

Also, because the demand is a lot less, the roofers are more likely to drop their prices since it is not in season any more.

The silver lining: From a Denver bankruptcy attorney

Posted on by

Denver bankruptcy attorneyA friend of mine and her husband were living in Michigan a few years ago, and they were in the home construction business. In fact, her husband and father in-law made a decent living building homes and then selling them .  But when the housing bubble burst in 2008, so did their profits. Eventually they had to file for bankruptcy because the could not pay all of their construction related bills since no one was buying houses. Eventually they packed up and moved back to Denver as the bankruptcy went underway.

It was a rough go around for them and they often lamented to me the challenge of dealing with a bankruptcy attorney in Denver , when their office was out in Michigan.  It became somewhat of a difficult process as communication was often delayed. But, in the end they were able to file and move on with their lives.

After some time passed my friend my another Denver bankruptcy attorney who gave her some insight into life after bankruptcy.  Which is something she did not recieve from her previous lawyer. She learned some helpful tips to rebuild her credit and her life.  It was something she needed to hear.  After all most people assume bankruptcy is the worst thing to happen to you .  But it doesn’t have to be. It can be that fresh start that everyone needs.   You can rebuild after bankruptcy.  You can transform your life, it is not the end. This fact was music to my friends ears, as this took a toll on her life for sometime.

 

Why solar energy?

Posted on by

We have all been made aware of the energy crisis and how dependent America is on foreign oil.  All we hear about on the nightly news is how oil prices are rising.  So why are we still so dependent on oil.  In recent years the popularity of solar power has risen. Here are some of the reasons why people turn to solar panels in Colorado.

It reduces energy demands on foreign oil.  Advances in technology  have made this form of energy more affordable. Therefore more people are able to take advantage of this energy source without breaking the bank. And in many cases people are saving money in the long run.

It can allow you the freedom to get off the electrical grid.  In Denver, solar panels have made it possible for many dedicated people to create large enough systems  to remove themselves from the national electrical grid.

There are many homeowners who accomplish this by  constructing a few solar panels at a time.  They continue to build their system by using the savings from the reduced electric bill.

By harnessing the power of the sun, Colorado families are reaping the benefits of becoming energy independent.  Now imagine if the whole country got on the solar energy bandwagon.  We could significantly decrease our need for foreing oil.  Not to mention solar energy will be around as long as the sun continues to shine.   It is the cleanest and more renewable energy on the planet.   So why are we not using it to its full potential?

A penny saved is a penny earned

Posted on by

In these challenging economic times people are watching every dollar they spend. People are looking for ways to save for the future and still live in the now. This is where a financial advisor comes in handy. They are experts in the finanacial field. They know where the money is being made and how to manage your investments to make you the most money possible.

These people willl adivse you on all matters of investments, money market accounts, savings and bonds, etc. Whatever you have ever wanted to know about wealth mannagment financial advisors can help educate you.  They have spent their careers and education learning the ins and outs of finances and  can help you make appropriate decisions for your financial future.

If you start planning young you allow yourself to be a little bit riskier in your investments. As you have time on your side to recoup if need be.  As you get older your advisor will recommend less risky investment as you get closer to retirement.

It is always a good idea to start saving early on and often. It is a good rule of thumb to take 10% of your paycheck and put it into savings each paycheck.  It is a great habit to get into and will help you plan for a future without really trying.

I always recommend doing at least that if you are not quite ready to meet with a financial advisor.  But it is always better to be prepared than not at all.

 

Do you dumpster dive?

Posted on by

Have you ever heard the term dumpster diving?  It is a hobby many young people are getting into nowadays. Is it because of economic hardship ? Or are people just throwing out things that are still in good shape?   Either way it takes a determined person to climb into a roll off dumpster and search for valuable items.  It is something that I don’t think I could do. I mean I have friends that have found some great items for their homes. But, I don’t know if I would risk all the germs and nastyness that is involved in dumpster diving.

I always wonder what the dumpster services think about people picking out trash from their dumpsters.  Most people do not think anything of it because possession was lost the moment the owner disgarded the item. However, if the dumpster is owned by another does the trash become their property?    I doubt any one has ever thought about the ownership of trash before. But alas I digress.

I still can not imaging plunging into the depths of a dumpster hoping to find something cool and valuable.  It seems like it is a crapshoot, and you never know what to expect. I suppose that is what appeals to many dumpster divers. The excitement of the unknown.  However, I am of the mind that if someone has thrown it away it is probably no good.   But if you are extremely handy then you may be able to find things that you can repurpose.

 

The tricks to MLM

Posted on by

If you are a sales person or own your own business, you know how important promoting your business is.  Even in MLM companies, promotion is key to their success. There are many ways to promote an MLM business in today’s market.  But there are some that are wrong.  Here is a list of some of the wrong ways to promote your MLM business.

1. Do not use a long and forgettable URL.

If people can not easily log on to your site or remember the sites url, no one will ever visit your site.  It is important that your URL describes what you do, but is not so long that it is hard for people to remember. You also want to make sure it is not to complicated for the average user to type into their browser.  Limit the amount of characters and symbols and make it simple.

2. Do not promote your MLM business in an online classified ad.

There are literally thousands of classified ad sites on the internet and absolutly none are major players in the field.  So you are very unlikely to see any traction from these ads. Plus many of these sites are free of charge, so they get inundated with tons of promotional ads like yours. Oversaturation will not help you sell.

3. Do not promote your online MLM business in offline media.

 This means traditional mediums like magazines, and newspapers.  People will not immediately put down their paper and run to the computer to check out your business after seeing it in an ad.  Plus, it does not lead itself to immediate leads and attention in a publication.
