These past few months I have come to neglect my MuskokaGirl blog, not on purpose, more or less I have just been extremely busy working and the holidays coming up.

Late last night I was doing some research on hair schools and came across the one and only Aveda Institute. Now I see they have Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, Victoria and Vancouver hair schools, but none that seem to be up north, which was a little odd for me. I came to think that it would be a genious idea if they put a school close to Muskoka or even further up north for those that live far a way and do not want to move.

I heard that the hair school Vancouver was probably the most for successful students getting jobs right after they finished the program. So, do you not think it would be a great idea to have a hair school in Muskoka that beat all Aveda schools? Not only would it make ‘Up North’ look more successful..student wise, but it could get a lot of attention to those that would like to live in Muskoka during the summer months.

If I were wanting to be a hair dresser I would want my studies to be somewhere relaxing, quiet and fun..do you not agree?

I was thinking of emailing the Aveda Headquarters and suggesting the idea, what does everyone think?

My grandparents have been looking around for some Muskoka condos for sale simply because they are getting a little older and to take care of their huge property now is a lot of work…even for myself. About a few years back they were searching for Toronto condos for sale because they thought it may be an easier way to get around, but changed their minds last year. They have come to realize that it is way easier to look for Toronto condos rather than Muskoka condos and have run into a bit of a situation.

They were hoping to find something for November 1st, but have had not one luck what so ever. Just curious if anyone that lives around the Muskoka area know of any good real estate agents?

For some time now Lenzr has been doing some changes to the website and are proud to introduce a new voting system in September. Instead of being able to vote when the contest starts, members will only be allowed to vote on the 20th day of the contest being live. Although members have to wait to vote on other pictures, contestants are still able to submit their works for viewing. The Lenzr Admin will set a date for when the voting should begin which will most likely be 10 days before the end of the contest.

Eco Deck Builder sponsors People Building Things photo contest

Traveling the streets of any town or city people tend to see many People Building Things, houses, decks, sheds etc. Lenzr thought photographers would enjoy this upcoming contest because building things is a very interesting hobby for most people. Ontario’s deck building company will be proud to reward the winner of this contest an Apple iPad. Are you in the middle of building something and would like to show it off? Start to submit your works to win this wicked prize.

Solar Line sponsors Morning Sunshine photo contest

A lot of early risers not only wake up at six in the morning to have a full day a head of themselves, but to enjoy that morning coffee and especially Morning Sunshine. Seeing how Mother Nature has been oh so kind to Canadians this summer, Lenzr expects to see outstanding photography of the different colours in the sky for this photo contest. Solar Line build portable solar power generators and are happy to give a way an Apple iPad to the winner of this contest. Are you a summer camper that wakes up early just for that morning sunshine? This should be one exciting contest.

All Weather Roofing sponsors View From The Roof photo contest

Like most people especially those who live in the Toronto area – they tend to travel building to building regardless if it is for looking at apartments, going to meetings or visiting family. From all the different Views From The Roof a photographer can get, Lenzr thought this would be a fantastic photo contest. A flat roof installation and repair service company is happy to give a way an iPad for the person that has the highest ranked photograph. Do you live in a penthouse or work in a building on the top story? This is a perfect way to show off your skills from way up high.

SMOjoe sponsors the Conflict photo contest

Conflict can be an every day struggle for most Canadians and sometimes can get pretty frustrating ending in people hating each other. A lot of photographers, like myself love to take in pictures of people in action. Conflict is going to be a interesting photo contest on Lenzr next month and they hope to see some intense photography. A social media marketing company will reward the winner a Blackberry Bold 9700*.

Each contests end October 1st, 2010.
