Hey Peeps,

Tehillah here, I’d just like to welcome you to the vegetarian section of iLifestyle Club.

In this section you will be able to learn many vegetarian recipes, some of which will be simply vegetarian versions of well known recipes that contain meat or other animal products.

I myself have been vegetarian since February 2006, an accomplishment I’m proud of; as when I first began, I was unsure of how long it would actually last.

As a vegetarian, I know that it can be extremely tricky to buy food and be confident that what I’m eating is free of animal products, as many ingredient labels on packaging hide these animal products behind long and often confusing names. For this reason, in the following weeks and months, I will also post up a list of names on ingredient labels that should be avoided and tips on how to conveniently avoid them.

These days more and more people around the world are taking up a vegetarian diet, so for all you fellow vegetarians out there, I hope you find this section of our website helpful and informative.

Keep in mind that neither I nor Josh have a great deal of cooking experience to speak of (very little, basically none) so we are bound to make some small mistakes now and then, and it’s times like these that we will need your honest feedback. I like the idea that, here at iLifestyle Club, we are learning with you and not simply putting information in front of you for you to teach yourselves. If you like the idea of learning WITH your teachers, discovering and sharing countless recipes for all occasions, meeting lots of people with the same interests as you and just having fun and a few laughs along the way; you are most definitely in the right place.

Remember to check out our forums. Our forums are simply a place for you to interact with other iLifestyle Club members; share your ideas, recipes, cooking tips, and simply to have a good time. We hope to have them set up for you soon, so hang around and get posting.

Remember, if you have any questions, you can contact either Myself or Josh and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys.
Till next time,

Tehillah

P.S. Having trouble figuring out my name? It’s ok, you’re not alone, a lot of people do at first. What I’ve found works best when explaining how to pronounce my name to other people is telling them to say the
word ‘tequila’ then to switch the ‘Q’ with a ‘H’ and you’re there. If that’s not enough, I’m even going to risk humiliating myself by actually sounding my name out for you so after this, there’s no more excuse for not knowing my name: TEH - HEEL - UH.

Hey Guys,

Welcome to the cooking section of iLifestyleClub. Each week, we will post up a new recipe. Whether it be a starter, main, dessert or drink; we will always be helping to increase your skill in the culinary arts. You don’t have to be a world class chef to whip up a good meal, as we certainly are not. As you will see in the coming weeks, we are learning just as much as you are.

We hope to have our first recipe posted on the site for you guys by Friday the 18th of July; giving you the whole weekend to perfect the recipe yourselves. After that, the recipes will be posted weekly, on every Friday.

Hopefully by February 2009, we will have published our own cooking ebook. This book will contain recipes posted by us on our site, as well as the recipes you post on the Member’s Forum. This will give you a chance to share with other members some of your favorite recipes and cooking tips, which may make it into our first cooking ebook.

Thanks guys, can’t wait to see what recipes you post.

Your cooking team,
Josh and Tehillah

Hey guys,

Josh here, this part of the site will be dedicated to meat recipes. The weekly recipe will be posted here and will contain a link to the Vegetarian version of the recipe for all of you Vegetarians out there.

I would love to hear any tips you have for us, as this is meant to be a learning experience for both yourselves and us. So if you would like a direct email link to Tehillah and I, you can email either Myself or Tehillah and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Hope you all enjoy this part of the site, remember the first recipe will be posted on Friday the 18th of July.

Till my next post,
Josh

Today’s success tip comes from Adam Davis.

At the age of 20, Adam has grown his consultancy into one of the most recognised traffic generation consulting services in the world, with over 500 clients in four countries. He has spoken in front of crowds of over 1,500 people in Singapore, Australia, the UK, Indonesia and Malaysia on how to effectively send traffic to any website and make a profit.

What is the most important thing you have learnt about succeeding on the internet?

As funny as it may sound, the internet itself has very little to do with whether or not you become a successful internet entrepreneur! Instead, it is about who you are and the mind-set with which you approach the concept of the internet. In order to succeed you need to stay focused and committed to both the immediate task and the long-term vision.

But perhaps the most important thing I have learnt is that the internet is nothing more than a medium; one that can distract a potential entrepreneur to the point of destroying their business. Let me explain:

The very nature of an internet-based business means that you will often spend long periods of time in front of a computer screen (unless you have employees to do this for you). There’s little interaction with people and it can become distracting if you do not have good motivation and concentration.

It is not uncommon to have wandering thoughts about random topics far removed from your business. Your unfocused mind tempts you to Google irrelevant topics and then you start following links. Before you know it, you’ve wasted many hours that could have been spent furthering your online business and increasing your profits. You then fail to approach your tasks with as much enthusiasm and vigour as you previously did, thus starting a downward spiral that can spell the end of a potentially successful internet entrepreneur.

My work has allowed me to witness people succeed and fail with their internet businesses. Based on my experience, I have learnt that the most important ingredients for success are:

* determination

* motivation

* focus

* clarity.

To succeed as an internet entrepreneur you need to be completely committed to your business and determined to succeed regardless of the obstacles that befall you.

Tune back next week for more success tips.

Take care.

Welcome to the blog on the second week of our honeymoon. We would like to take you with us as we continue to share our experiences on Magnetic Island in Qld, Australia.

We left Noosa on the Sunshine Coast and drove early in the morning to the Brisbane airport. From here we caught a flight to Townsville, a shuttle bus to the port and then a Ferry across to Magnetic Island.

The colours of the water were absolutely beautiful. We were blessed to stay in the One Bright Point – Mantra on Magnetic Island, right next to where the ferry arrives.

We hired a small car so that we were free to explore all of the different parts of the island. There are some dirt roads, which are off limits to the popular Mokes that a lot of people hire and so we chose a car that had no limits to it.

We explored down every road and walked down many of the tracks throughout the island. We swam in each of the little bays that we saw.

The colours, the wildlife and the reef were amazing! We went out on a reef cruise and got to swim with the beautiful coloured fish and to see the stunningly different types, colours and sizes of coral!

We also were excited to be able to snorkel around the Island itself and to enjoy many types of colourful fish and corals within walking distance from the beaches! Amazing!!!

We have included some photos below for you to see some of what we enjoyed. Magnetic Island is somewhere that we hope to go back to regularly and a place that we would highly recommend to everyone to go to!

Until next time.

To your success and fulfilment in life!

More soon!

Welcome to our first blog for the iLifeStyleClub. We would like to take you on the journey with us over the coming weeks, months and years as we move together towards fulfilling our hopes and dreams and getting the most out of this wonderful gift of life! May we be able to learn from each other as we each move towards our goals and our ultimate lifestyle!

Life goes by so very quickly and each day I am learning the importance of slowing down and enjoying the journey. Life is so much more than just rushing towards some destination and goal. The real meaning in life is found by learning to enjoy the journey and those that we are blessed to do life with!

I recently had the honour of marrying my best friend, Greg. (You will also be blessed to hear from Greg sometimes.) We are still enjoying getting to really know each other and loving each other more every day.
I thought that we could share with you part of our honeymoon….

We enjoyed the first week of our honeymoon in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.
You can see us in the photos below. We devoured scrumptious mushy pea, meat pies.
We relaxed and soaked in the hot spa.
We had a lovely day at Australia Zoo (the home of Steve Irwin). You can see me feeding the elephant (that was fun!) and Greg and I jumping next to the photo of Steve!

We had relaxing walks along the beach and through the national parks. We even enjoyed a New Zealand Natural smoothie first thing in the morning…. Yum!

We will continue the story of our honeymoon next time. So be sure to return and find out where we went for our second week of our honeymoon!

The best part of life is the journey. So pause today, remember to smile at a stranger, to tell someone that you love them and to enjoy being YOU!

To your success in life!
Chat soon.
