Give your desk a makeover with these very easy and super “sweet” 6 DIY projects.

I start with DIY pencil holders, “filled” with sprinkles. So easy and so colorful – awesome. You will need:

A glass

Empty plastic bottle, which can be placed into the glass (I used shower gel bottle)

Sprinkles (or beads, as a substitute)

Next DIY Desk project is a watercolor rainbow lollipop coaster. Love the way how it turned out – so watercolorY :) You'll need:

Cork coaster (or cut the circle from thick cardboard)

Paper

Watercolor (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet)

Clear tape

Double-sided tape

Drinking straw (or a rod from cotton bud)

Ribbon (if you want to tie a bow)

The third desk decoration is – Candies-Magnets (NOT EDIBLE). Super easy! Paint round fridge magnets (I painted them like peppermint candy), wrap them in cellophane (I used an oven bag) and secure ends with ribbons or just sewing threads :)

The fourth and the fifth DIYs are pencil toppers – Sprinkle Lollipop and Fluffy Marshmallow.

For the Fluffy Marshmallow (which goes first) you will need white and pink yarn (like white-pink marshmallows) and scissors :)

For Sprinkle Lollipop you'll need a table tennis ball, pink nail polish (if you like strawberry lollipops as much as I do ;)), a piece of sponge, school glue, sprinkles and hair spray.

And the last desk decoration in candy style is a stationery organizer from cupcake stand (which I show how to decorate) and colorful cupcake liners (as holders for pins, paperclips, erasers, sharpeners etc.) What can be easier, and what can be cuter? :)

Discover The Best Desk Lamps To Use

Sitting down at your desk to do some work can be a good thing. The problem you may have is not being able to see when the sun starts to set or if your office is on the inside of your building.

When this is the case, you need to have a desk lamp to help you out in seeing everything. This is when you should discover the ten best desk lamps that you can use. Then you can buy one of the best desk lamps on the market and know it will work for your needs.

TaoTronics LED Desk Lamp is the one that is going to make the top of our list. This is a lamp that has a modern look to it with a sleek design.

However, it uses the LED light bulbs so it will not be putting off a lot of light that is going to lead to you having excessive heat at your desk, but also have a brighter and longer lasting bulb.

Something else that we really like is the fact this is a lamp that has a gooseneck which makes it easy for the lamp to get moved around to where you need it on the desk.

Globe Electric Spring Balanced Lamp this is one that is going to have the older globe style lights that you see at times. However, it is also going to have a spring loaded arm.

This makes it easier for you to get the lamp moved to where you want to have it moved to, but also makes it easier for you to get the lamp moved to where you can see it.

So you will want to make sure you look at this lamp because it is easily going to make the desk work like you want to and with the spring loaded arm not have to worry about it falling back down on your while you are working.

V-Light Traditional Style is the older lamps that you would see in the movies that would be sitting at the bank tellers window or the detective desk.

This is a lamp that has a cord that you can pull down and turn the light on, but it will also have a light that is going to make it easier for you to get the look that you want and know that the lamp you are using has the older style.

The downside is this lamp cannot be moved around like the others can.

Boston Harbor Architect Desk Lamp is something that looks like it is modern marvel, but in reality it is a desk lamp that you will want to consider.

This is a lamp that has the swing arm that a lot of people want to have, but it also has a wider base to provide stability.

It is spring loaded as well, which will make it easier for the lamp to be held in place on the desk when you are using the bulb to work with.

LE Dimmable LED Desk Lamp is a lamp that will make it quite a bit easier for you to enjoy the lamp and the light it is putting off.

The reason for this is you are going to have the chance to dim down the light if you do not need it on all the way.

This makes it a lot easier for your eyes, but also allows you to adjust the dimming up some if you want to have the great look for the lamp.

Plus this is a lamp that does have a modern look to it that makes it easier for you to enjoy the look.

Limelights Desk lamp is one that you may not want to have, but if you like the bright colors this is definitely the light for you.

This is a light that has some of the brightest colors for the lamp itself. It is actually a lime green in color and this is going to make it stand out.

The lamp also uses a gooseneck design as well, but it cannot be moved as it is a fairly solid piece.

Ledge Table Lamp is one that has several different features. Yes, it is definitely an LED lamp, which is great, but something else that it is, that a lot of people do not realize is it is also a lamp that has a built in thermometer on it.

So this means that when the boss tells you the office is not that cold you can counteract him and show him that the freezing temperature on your lamp says otherwise.

IKEA Jansjo Desk Lamp is a piece from IKEA that you may not have to spend hours putting together. This is actually a very nice looking desk lamp, but the downside is the bulb that it is going to take is rather small.

So this could be a challenge that you will have to overcome because the smaller bulbs may not put off as much light as what you would like. So this in turn can make it harder for you to see the work that you are doing.

LAMPART Dimmable Desk Lamp is something people may want to learn about as well. This is a lamp that is going to have a single arm design that cannot be adjusted.

However, like the other desk lamps it is one that is going to make it easier for people to get the lamp adjusted to the light level they need to have because it is a light that can be dimmed down or brightened up.

Light Accents has their own version of a desk lamp out as well. In this version people will find the lamp is going to allow them to have a great looking lamp, but also going to have a chance to have the light at its brightest level.

So this will help people out in getting the focus they need to have on the items they are looking at.

How You Can Choose The Best Desk Lamps

If you are going to be using your lamp at your desk, you are going to be relying on that lighting in order to complete various tasks.

Look At The Lamps With The Best Reviews

Whether you are planning on buying your lamp from a local store or purchasing your lamp online, you should take the time to look at the way people have reviewed desk lamps. Your goal should be to find a lamp with plenty of rave reviews.

People are a lot more likely to leave a review when they feel dissatisfied with a product. Because of this, products with a lot of positive reviews tend to be excellent.

You deserve a lamp that you will be fully satisfied with. When you look at lamps, make a point of looking at the lamps that people have written reviews for.

Ask Your Colleagues What They Recommend

If you have colleagues that do the same kind of work that you do, you may want to talk to them about the desk lamps that they use. See if there is a lamp that they are willing to recommend.

Different lamps are suited to different jobs. If you are looking for a lamp that provides light for reading, you will probably want a different lamp than someone that is using their lamp for drawing.

You should be able to get a lot of helpful feedback from your collagues. Reach out to them and see what kind of products they suggest.

Work To Find The Best Lamp In Your Price Range

You probably have a budget for your lamp. Most people don’t have an unlimited amount of cash to spend; they have to find products that fall within their price range.

If you’re in this position, your goal should be to find the best lamp that you can comfortably afford.

Set a budget for yourself. From there, look at some of the different lamps that you can buy with that kind of budget. See which lamps offer the most features; look at the lamps that have received the best reviews.

While you shouldn’t spend more than you have to, you should also try to get the best lamp that you can.

Find A Lamp That Won’t Take Up Too Much Room

You need to make sure that your lamp won’t get in the way when you are trying to work at your desk. If you have a small desk, then you are going to have to look for a very small lamp.

You should be able to use all of your desk space efficiently. If you don’t have a lot of extra desk space, then start looking at some of the smallest desk lamps on the market. See if you can see yourself using any of those lamps.

Find A Lamp That Compliments Your Desk

Studies have shown that people are more likely to be productive when their work spaces are well organized and attractive.

If you want to reap the benefits of an appealing work space, you should work to find a lamp that compliments your desk.

If you’re not sure what kinds of lamps you should be looking at, you may want to look at photos of other offices and desks.

Take advantage of sites like Pinterest. Look at the room galleries available on various stores. Try to find a lamp that will help you to create your perfect office space.

Look At Lamps With Features

A lot of the desk lamps on the market offer special features. In some cases, these features may allow you to get a lot more out of the lamp that you have purchased.

One of the best types of features for a lamp is a timer. If you have a lamp like this, you will be able to set your light to automatically adjust at a certain period of time.

You may need brighter light when it gets darker outside. You can use a timer to ensure that your lamp will be as bright as you need it to be. You won’t have to adjust the lamp at all.

Look For A Lamp That Requires Minimal Maintenance

If you are going to be using your lamp a lot, you may not want to buy a lamp that uses ordinary light bulbs.

Instead, you may want to look at LED desk lamps. LED lights use less energy, and they don’t need to be changed frequently.

As an added bonus, LED lights tend to be a great choice for most people looking at desk lamps.

Because LED lamps provide a controlled beam of light, people that use lamps like this can make sure that the light from their lamp is landing exactly where they need it to.

Don’t Wait Too Long To Choose A Lamp

While you should take your time and look for a lamp that you can be happy with, you shouldn’t take too long to select your lamp. Not having the right kind of lighting can actually cause damage to your eyes.

Eye strain and headaches are common side effects of poor lighting. Save yourself these issues; invest in a high quality desk lamp.

Discover Your Child's Learning Style

If you have been wondering what is the key to getting your reluctant learner excited about math, science, or any other academic subject, Discover Your Child's Learning Style may be what you have been looking for. Written to the parents of public, private, or homeschooled students, the authors' goals are for the parents to get on their child's "team", have the child take the learning profile (learning assessment test), and coach him to learning success. Not just a book for students from an institutionalized setting, the authors make references throughout the text to various types of school settings.

With a combined experience of 45 years, these authors are dedicated to helping children succeed in their love of learning. They believe that by tapping into the child's learning style, the child will naturally love to learn. The child's learning style includes the child's talents, interests, modality, environment, and disposition. One of the best things about this book is that the authors recognize that you, the parent, are Your child's primary teacher. They hope to have a positive effect on children's attitudes toward learning through the parents' powerful influence and involvement.

The authors begin by encouraging parents to develop a proper attitude. For example, parents need to take an active role in the child's education. They should also learn to "celebrate" the child for who he is and not criticize the child for who he is not. They encourage parents to model good behavior for their children. They encourage strengthening the bonds between children and their parents in additional ways as well.

After you have your child take the learning style profile, you will learn about the five different aspects covered in the test: disposition, talents, interests, modality, and environment. The various categories for disposition include someone who performs, produces, invents, relates/inspires or thinks/creates. The areas of talent include music, math-logic, mechanical reasoning, spatial, word-language reasoning, and seven more. In assessing the child's interests, the authors note that the child's interests may differ at home than from those at school. Modality refers to the type of learner your child is. This is what we most often associate with learning style. Is the child an auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learner? These can help assess the child's learning environment for improvements. Some factors to consier include: does the child prefer quiet or noise, laying down or sitting at a desk, a bright or dim light? You can see that the authors' definition of learning style is broader and more variable than most.

Because of the lengthy and detailed descriptions of the various dispositions (perform, produce, invent, relate/inspire or think/create), the child or parent should easily be able to identify which disposition is closest to the child. Since they are presenting material associated with the child's learning style, their perspective is from an educational standpoint. They begin by describing a person who fits that disposition. For example, a performer is a person who is "bright, witty, and outspoken." As adults, they are entertainers, actors, athletes, trial lawyers, etc. They then go on to discuss the learning characteristics, the preferred setting for learning, what that child contributes to a situation, the areas of growth, the relationship conflicts between a child of one disposition and a teacher of an opposing disposition, the ideal curriculum, homework helps, and motivators. At the end of each chapter, they also offer a quick reference chart with the program emphasis, preferred activities, helpful materials with exact titles for specific subjects, and teaching techniques. As parents, we need to also keep in mind that sometimes we can adapt the materials we already own by employing different teaching techniques.

If you are beginning to be overwhelmed with all the terminology or aspects of a child's learning style, don't be. There are lots of charts and graphs that clearly explain what should work best for your child. There is an incredible amount of information in this book, including putting the plan to work, dealing with special needs children, pages of recommended resources, and much more. Whether you are having difficulty with teaching your child or not, Discover Your Child's Learning Style has much to offer and much to digest. Since one of our goals as parents is to have our children reach their full potential, this book may help you to see your child in a totally new light.
