The Sheffield School Launches a New Student Benefits Program

Most Fridays I’m excited to bring you our Sheffield Says Question of the Week. But this week, we have a special announcement that supersedes the QotW.

The Sheffield School has launched a student benefits kit for the thousands of creative professionals around the world who enroll in our home-study programs each year.

The Sheffield School has a long tradition of delivering high quality courses in the areas of Interior Design, Wedding & Event Planning, and Jewelry Design to people anywhere in the world. Serving over 10,000 active students in over 100 countries, it can be difficult to provide deals and discounts to everyone. However, with the launch of this new student benefits program, students all over the world will be able to enjoy discounts from retailers and service providers that also reach a global audience.

New York’s premier home-study school is partnering with Collegiate Services, Inc., based in Chicago, IL. Collegiate Services provides one of the largest and longest running discount programs in the North America, serving over 100 schools in the US alone. Through this program, students in any of Sheffield's programs will be able to save on purchases from companies like Verizon, Best Buy, and Walmart.

 “We’ve always tried to do right by our students,” said Chuck DeLaney, Director of the Sheffield School, “and when we had an opportunity to offer our home-study students discounts on products they need, we jumped at the chance.”

And we’ll be back next week to bring you a new Question of the Week!

6 Feng Shui Tips to Make Your Bedroom Better

Franca Giuliani - Happy Chinese New Year! On January 23, 2012, we started the Year of the Water Dragon- a time that brings spirituality and prosperity. I feel this will be a powerful year for all of us. And, we all need our rest. Hence, now is great time to take a look at our bedrooms. Here are the 6 Top Ways You Can Improve Your Bedroom with Feng Shui.
 

1. Get an overall impression.

How do you feel when you walk into your bedroom? Are you happy with what you see, or do your eyes start rolling and is your mind whispering, “Gosh, I have to do something about this!” Our bedroom is a very important part of our life - and not just the bed. Bedrooms are our sanctuary from the world. They are the places where we retreat to, rest, and rejuvenate.
 

2. Start to be more mindful of your bedroom.

Do you thank your bedroom? Or do you use every furniture top as a place to house a week-long pile of laundry, the past three days accumulation of worn outfits, and stacks of unopened mail. You need to treat your bedroom with respect so it can nourish you.

3. You need a new mattress.

Make sure you have a comfortable mattress and make sure that it's one that is new to you … meaning it wasn’t someone else’s first. Mattresses absorb Chi, the universal life force. So sleeping on someone else’s old mattress may not make you feel so new and rejuvenated. Yes, getting a new mattress may be a financial investment, but in the longrun, it's well worth it. We have to proclaim we are “well worth it” by investing in something for us.
