Win – Pamper yourself this holiday season!

These days it’s hard to walk into a shop and not read a sign stating that something is “organic”. You’ve seen the signs? Of course you have. Well, I’ve got something interesting to share with you – Organic products are products which made from plants grown and managed using organic agricultural methods, whereas Natural products are products that are derived from plants and the ingredients are unaffected by manufacturing processes. This is a really big difference!

A perfect example of an exclusively natural product line is the Italian Alps, grown and developed by Lunasol range of organic cosmetics. Lunasol have teamed up with Health Spa Guru to bring us all a fantastic competition:

Last time I gave away an all expenses paid health spa weekend, which was thoroughly enjoyed by Erika and Anthony, this time I have 3 prizes up for grabs:

  1. Exclusive spa treatment worth R1500.00 + 1 Lunasol product of your choice
  2. 3 Lunasol products of your choice
  3. 1 Lunasol Rose Cream and 1 Rose Oil

The end of a very busy year is approaching, we all deserve some pampering and this is going to be the easiest way to achieve that.

How do you enter?

Simple, visit this page by clicking here and just fill in your name and your email address, that’s it!

FNB Upgrade Scam!

Hey folks, watch out for this email from safetytips@fnb.co.za – it’s most definitely a scam!

I’m seeing more and more of these scams and I can’t imagine how many people end up falling for them :(

GMail fortunately throws it to the spam can and when you visit the website, Firefox throws up a warning – So if you want to avoid these things, I advise that you look into using GMail as your email system and Firefox as your browser.

Safe surfing friends!

I’m going away this weekend!

The time has finally come for me to leave Cape Town for another weekend away (and here); This time it’s at a place called Button Quail, just over Sir Lowry’s Pass.

No electricity, no mobile reception, no Internet!

We’re be staying in a luxury tent whilst we’re there..

Whiteboard Friday – Seth Besmertnik on Winning SEO Budget

SEOMoz recently ran a seminar in Seattle and whilst doing this, they decided to put together a DVD training series, entitled “Tips, Tricks & Tactics”, which they will be selling on their website. The minute I saw this, The Forge pre-ordered a copy, I think it’s going to be a priceless series.

Today, SEOMoz’s Whiteboard Friday is a 7 minute snippet from a 30 minute session, where Seth Besmertnik does his presentation “How to Win SEO Budget and Influence Your CMO”..

More Whiteboard Friday videos – here.
