Use your cell phone safely

I have been gone from the internet world for some time! Well from my PC that is.....

I will need to get back in the groove here!

Wow I am watching Dr. Oz today and some interesting findings have come up regarding cell phones and brain cancer/tumors. This is something that I'm sure many people have heard about over the years but have put the importance of it to the side! So here are some of the tips that were mentioned in reducing the risk of exposure to the radiation that it emits. Note: this also includes wireless home phones.

1. Use your speakerphone to increase the distance from your head and your body.
2. Use a wired headset.
3. Don't hold your phone on or near your body (holsters, pockets, etc.)
4. When reception is bad only use your phone in en emergency or when extremely necessary! When reception is low the phone puts out more power!
5. If using a wireless headpiece do not hold phone in your pocket or holster because you are increasing exposure to your hip, bone marrow, prostate (for men), ovaries (for women), etc.

These are good tips for us all to take into consideration especially if you use your phone frequently!

Going High Tech Mobile...

Now that I have taken my maternity business Mobile, I am excited to have found an awesome app on my iphone which allows me to process credit cards right on the spot anywhere I go! I've got to say that I love love love technology:)

So I am moving into a whole new direction with my biz and I hope to continue to evolve and get better with time to service all my fabulous customers!

Would you like me to do a Video Blog?

So this is the Latest!
I know what it's like to have a small Biz and not have enough exposure. Many times the average shopper in our town does not know all that is available to us locally, so they start to look online because it's the convenient thing to do!

I am all about promoting our Local Biz's and I would love to promote yours!

If you would like me to come and do a video tutorial about a service or product that you provide or even an event, I will come to you and get the information you would like to feature, then post it to my Blog that is linked to all of the websites that I have (mamaalamodematernity.com, Twitter.com/mamaalamode, myspace.com/mamaalamode, facebook, youtube.com/mamaalamodehawaii, etc.) for FREE!
