在這個時期每個人都學好投資，無論是購房、購車、金融商品，都毫無疑問是想讓自身的財富積累大量，但除開這種你也有更強的投資挑選，那便是投資珠寶。珠寶的升值水平及其成長空間，徹底不容易輸別的產品，但再投資珠寶前你了解什么市值得投資的嗎，而又有哪些事兒應當留意。

為何珠寶值得投資，物稀為貴。從珠寶的材料看來，寶石歸屬於不再生能源，純天然寶石采掘一次便會少一次。而珠寶流通性強有利於帶上，並且寶石擁有 全世界統一的使用價值規范，相比於其他類型的財產，如房地產、車輛產權證，在流通性層面更有優點，且珠寶相對性於別的物件更便於儲存。

什么珠寶值得投資?

最先是稀缺材料珠寶，盡管高質量寶石難得一見，實在是投資類精典，昂貴的價錢也讓大夥兒自愧不如。但除開傳統式的三大寶石，近幾年來別的類型寶石價錢也持續飆升，相近碧璽、坦桑石、歐泊等寶石因為生產量稀缺、顏色與眾不同、珠寶要求大等緣故備受大夥兒鍾愛。而這種寶石現階段看來市場行情也比較平穩，價錢相對性於傳統式三大寶石也更合適大家著手。

針對名牌老古董珠寶，我們可以從耳飾、鑽戒等小物件逐漸下手。這類珠寶的益處取決於這不但是一種投資更合適日常配戴。一是質量和材料上得到確保，終究曆經那么多年依然能拿出來競拍的必定品相非常好。再一個具備時期實際意義的設計方案也讓珠寶更加與眾不同，通常這種珠寶是珍品拍賣。

或只你還可以挑選獨立設計師珠寶，好像新秀珠寶室內設計師：CindyChao以本人為名打造出的珠寶知名品牌在國際性珠寶界都備受關注，從2007年第一次參與佳士得拍賣到現如今，她的著作拍賣價愈來愈高。以純鈦為基座打造出，她的珠寶具有本人特點。

除開她以外也有許多知名的獨立設計師，她們的著作通常更為與眾不同，你乃至能訂制一款歸屬於自身的珠寶，這類獨一無二特性讓珠寶升值。並且世界各國會按時舉辦一些珠寶展和珠寶賽事，許多新起室內設計師也會參與，靠此而一舉成名。但是相對性知名品牌來講，室內設計師的珠寶更重視設計方案，假如以材料為投資方位則需深思熟慮。

投資珠寶該注意什么

投資珠寶注重的是其材料，那麼在一切寶石種類裏，高質量始終不容易錯誤。不一樣寶石所要留意的地區也不一樣，色調、卡拉、純淨度等各層面全是決策珠寶價錢的主要因素。因此 在投資選購以前最好是先了解一下有關專業知識。此外，一部分珠寶也有有關檢驗證書，總而言之在費用預算范疇內買最好是的就正確了，知名品牌除開老古董珠寶能夠下手之外，自然如今知名品牌新上市的一些珠寶一樣值得下手。

A one-bowl dinner, Japanese style. If you can't find udon noodles, use linguine — just break the noodles in half before boiling them. Edamame are green soybeans.

Christmas break seems like eons ago. I was in Mexico City for part of the holiday, where it was a balmy 70 degrees. Perfection! I came home and was swamped with edits for the latest cookbook. Then there was the polar vortex. And the latest cold snap. Ugh. Weather, and January.

When it gets brutal outside, your style of cooking changes, doesn’t it? You braise and stew, make pots of soup, bowls of chili, hearty dishes that warm you from the inside out. Well here is another recipe that will keep your stove on…


Awhile back I was sent The Lemonade Cookbook. With new takes on classic, comfort food-style recipes, it had a recipe for chicken chili, just the sort of recipe to have on a cold winter’s night. There were very few surprises in the list of ingredients– which was exactly what I wanted– something that was warm, sustaining, reliable, and delicious. But by using ground chicken rather than ground beef, the chili is lighter than most, allowing the spices to shine through.

The original recipe is for one big ol’ pot of chili. Too much for me and my leftover-eating apathy. So the recipe I’m giving is for just about half a recipe. (Don’t worry you’ll still have leftovers!) I used only 1 pound of ground chicken (the original recipe called for 3 pounds), but the chili was still meaty. Simmering on the stove this chili smelled great, and tasted even better.

Stay warm!

I’m back from a weekend away with my work-mates that I mentioned in this post (where I also mention lots of chocolate so do head back there!) and we are now smack in the middle of a new week.  Catching up with everything left behind does that I suppose.  But I am invigorated, or should I say re-invigorated, and ready to seriously boogie…whether it is at work or at play!

Our company has had a team building every year, as most companies do, but this year I wanted something a bit different.  Work is certainly never a walk in the park (maybe for some lucky people but not for most) and even in the most dreamy of jobs there are moments of stress, deadlines to be met, goals to be achieved, overtime hours to be clocked in. Let’s be honest, most of us are in, what we might consider to be, “regular jobs”…not the dream jobs of our fantasies (traveling food taster/pig farmer/professional napper needed? anyone?).  But I thought, how do we inject motivation into work?  How to we inspire vigor and enthusiasm in the workplace?  How to we create exuberance on the job?

I realized…the answer is we don’t.

We create it in life…and then it will spill over everywhere.

It starts with the individual, on a personal level.  Not really with the “team”, on the “work” level.

That is what I wanted to find for these intrepid, valiant folk with whom I work.  Yes, I certainly wanted a lot of bonding and actual “team building” but I also wanted it to be something more, something that involved getting people to think about themselves (their unique selves!) on a personal level, about purpose and strengths and living life and about where their joy comes from.
