For many places especially in business establishments like restaurants, background noise can range from a mild distraction to a frustrating inconvenience. This holds true for busy eating establishments where standard operational sounds can distract or annoy clients as well as lobbies of construction companies and other industrial type businesses. A simple waterfall fountain  can be enough to help block these noises, creating a calming white noise that will soothe and detract from sudden, loud sounds.

A current trend in interior decorating  is to use a indoor water fountain to bring the natural outdoor sounds of running water into the establishment.They create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. A particular feature of many modern interior designers is to install the indoor wall fountains on or against the wall with a catch basin, as opposed to having the fountain stand alone. The wall fountain creates a charming waterfall effect. The basin contains a pump which circulates the water back to the top for a continual water cascade, making it a very economical way to save on water.

The idea behind using a fountain in this manner is to create a constant sound that will attract the attention of your ears and will keep you from noticing or being startled by the noise, either from other clients in the restaurant or in the kitchen, if you are situated near it. These fountains produce a constant source of white noise, which is exceptionally relaxing and can help people not only to sleep, but to concentrate or working or reading and even enjoying their meal while talking .

An indoor fountain can be great distraction for children and can truly offer many health benefits as much as an outdoor fountain. From the simple relaxation to the improved air quality that arises from a fountain’s natural humidifying property!

When you are in the food business, there is one person who always needs to be impeccably groomed – that would be your lead cook, the chef. Most restaurants associate themselves with the resident chef and during the olden days, the restaurant’s logo and name often had a picture or a caricature of the chef on it.

The chef we usually picture ourselves with is one who wears an all-white ensemble with a big white puffy hat. Nowadays, black aprons are as used as white ones, for practicality’s sake. A chef’s job is most always messy, and black would hide spills and stains very well.

Now there are a lot of chef apparel styles available. iD by Landau carries a complete line of apparel, even including chef pants, for the stylish chef. Chef pants need to have elastic waistbands, concealed side pockets, lightweight materials, and strong construction to ensure the trousers are built to last under repeated washings .

There is a collection of chef white jackets for ladies and men, and single and double-breasted designs to suit the needs of casual and a more formal attire.

What exactly do chefs need when it comes to their attire? From a sushi chef’s jacket in black with front pockets for utensils to full-size executive chef jackets with detailed piping for cuffs and collar and black pearl buttons. They also have jackets made from Coolvent fabric that moisture and heat away from the body as much as possible.

Self-love is essential.

I saw this post from a friend and that made me realize a little vanity (or self-love) would not hurt. It means you love yourself to take care of yourself FIRST. Make time for your needs FIRST so you can take care of other better. This is something I have realized in the last few weeks. It is easier said than done, because as a mother, there is a tendency to stop thinking about one’s self. Your heart is outside your body, it’s with your kids. But you need to have your individuality intact. You still need to grow, so your kids can look up to you better.

I am thinking of attending a cosmetology school in Tennessee when the kids are older. I have always loved dressing up and prettifying myself before, it would not hurt if I start now, ten years late
