October Favourite Products

I cannot believe that we already in November! The year has flown by and Christmas is around the corner! December is my favourite month of the year. I love Christmas, it’s my favourite holiday and I go all out to celebrate. I got so many exciting posts coming up this month to get you in the festive mood.

So with my monthly favourite posts, I will be doing a little Life update too.

What is happening in my life?

My son turned a year old in September! He’s got 7 teeth at the moment and is always smiling. I can’t get enough of him! He is such a little charmer.

I’ve spent half of the year travelling to the USA and honestly, I loved it every bit of it! Travel opened me up to an entirely new world. The only regret I have is that I couldn’t take both my kids with me on every trip.

Kitana came with us on our first trip to the USA. We managed to tour the country a little and visit Disney world with her after we finished with work meetings.

Being a working mom is hard, emotionally and physically. Some people just don’t understand how difficult it is for a mom to leave her kids at home and travel thousands of miles to another country. They think we like it and want it!

Sometimes we just have no option, we have to do it because we doing it for the future of our kids. I’m leaving for Washington, DC on Sunday and I’m already emotional about it. I hate saying goodbye to my kids, I always want to cry!

Okay, enough with my sobby travel story, I will dedicate another post about this because there’s just so much to talk about.

Let’s talk about my October favourite products. I’ve included Kitana, Kiaan’s and mine this month and a lot of it has to do with travel. You will be seeing a lot more travel posts coming up since I’ve decided to add a travel section after rebranding plus Vije and I are working on a new blog. 😉

  20. Copper scrap warehousing Copper has been a valuable resource for humans for thousands of years. In fact, it is believed to be the first metal that was ever used by humans. Its use can be traced back to the Neolithic era, where copper artifacts have been discovered in ancient burial sites and settlements. One of the first civilizations to use copper extensively was the ancient Egyptians. They utilized copper in a variety of ways, including as jewelry and decorative pieces, as well as in tools and weapons. Egyptian mythology even associates copper with the goddess Hathor, who was seen as the personification of beauty and love. The ancient Greeks also recognized the value of copper, using it in their currency and in the production of bronze. The use of bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin, allowed for stronger and more durable tools and weapons. In South America, the Inca civilization made use of copper in their artwork and jewelry. Evidence of copper mining and production has been found in Peru, indicating the importance of this metal to the ancient Inca people. The history of copper is not limited to just these civilizations, as it has been utilized by many cultures throughout history. Copper has played a crucial role in the development of human civilization, from its early use in tools and weapons to its modern applications in electronics and construction. Today, copper remains an important metal, with its high conductivity and durability making it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications. Its historical significance only adds to its value, as copper continues to be an important part of human history and progress Metal scrap yard recycling Industrial copper reuse Copper scrap recycling technology Copper wire scrapping Copper recycling logistics Scrap metal certificates

  21. Buy copper scrap Copper has been used by humans for thousands of years. The first evidence of copper use dates back to the Neolithic period, around 9000 BCE, in the Middle East. Copper was initially used for decorative items, such as jewelry and religious objects. However, as humans discovered its properties, it soon became an important material for a wide range of applications. The Egyptians were one of the earliest civilizations to use copper extensively. They used it for tools, weapons, and even their water supply systems. The Egyptians also saw the value of copper in art and used it for jewelry, statues, and cosmetic items. In ancient Greece, copper was used for coins, weapons, and armor. The ancient Greeks also used copper for artistic purposes, creating beautiful sculptures and vessels. During the Bronze Age, which began around 3000 BCE, people discovered that copper could be combined with other metals, such as tin, to create a new material: bronze. This new alloy was stronger and more durable than pure copper and became an essential material for weapons and tools. As civilizations grew and expanded, so did the use of copper. The Romans used it for aqueducts, plumbing, and coins. Copper was also used extensively for art and architecture, creating intricate designs on buildings and in mosaics. In the Americas, the indigenous people of the Andes region were particularly skilled in working with copper. They created beautiful decorative objects, such as masks and jewelry, using techniques such as hammering and casting. Today, copper remains an essential material for many industries, including construction, electronics, and transportation. Its ability to conduct heat and electricity, its durability, and its antimicrobial properties make it a valuable material for a wide range of applications. In conclusion, the story of copper is a long and fascinating one. From its humble beginnings as a decorative material to its essential role in modern industries, copper has played an important part in human history Scrap metal evaluation Scrap Copper refining Copper scrap processing methods Industrial copper waste solutions Copper alloy composition analysis Non-ferrous scrap metal
