Hanem.com - The Online Womens Magazine: Open Minded... Or Mindless?

The expression open-minded seems to confuse many people. While I argue for open-mindedness with certain people, they speak back to me in a rather dismayed tone and only when I dig deeper into their understanding of the word, do I start to see what they mean. Open mindedness is so often confused with the word decadence. If a girl is “open minded”, in the narrow minded sense, it means she is a heavy drinker and smoker, she dresses a little too immodestly and has too many male friends!

A Quick Guide to the Art of being Lazy

This is a work of fiction, any similarity to me and the advice I give in this article is purely by coincidence.

We're all lazy, we try not to be, but you know and I know that if you can, you'd sleep right through the day. Being lazy is an art form that not a lot of people know how to pull off, for some people being lazy is a full time job, a 24/7 full time job.

Waking up every morning is the first step to being lazy, wake up early, get out of bed and have a hearty breakfast, being lazy on an empty stomach takes away from energy better spent on laziness. Now the first thing you do after waking and eating your breakfast, is get your ass on the couch, stretch out and relax, do you have an appointment early in the morning, big mistake.

Rule#1: Never schedule an appointment early in the morning.

Miss Vickies Chips

I love it, have I said that before? I recently discovered the best potato chips to eat.

Miss Vickie's potato chips are hand picked and cooked in a traditional manner, they are crunchy and tasty. They remind me of the time when my mother or grand mother  cook chips and I used to pick the ones that were extra crispy from the batch.

Miss Vickie's chips are all like that. I just love them.

I have tried until now the Original Recipe and the unsalted ones, both are excellent. I look forward to trying the others.

Working in Summer

Summer heat, its the kryptonite to my productivity, the bane to my existence, it is a time of year that is not only known for its heat, but for its endless fun times and activities. There are so many things that you could do during summer, while you're stuck at work toiling away, it's like everyone deciding to sit at the same time on the only chair while you are holding a kid and carrying the groceries.

Of course i have no idea what the previous statement was about! Now, working in summer is not easy, it takes a lot of concentration, given that all around you are people going to the pool, beach, park or even just for a nice cold chilling drink at your favorite watering hole. All this while you are stuck at work, sweating away in the heat, whether in an office or on site somewhere, it is not a pleasant feeling.

But I wouldn't stress too much, there are ways to handle that workload while at the same time enjoying the summer heat.
