for the toughies 2007-08-10 12:15:50 I seldom eavesdrop on my man’s conversation with other guy friends but this time, I did. I overheard a conversation that my hubby had with a friend who specialized in selling heavy equipment. Due to the nature of his job, his little boy was influenced with a special love for heavy equipment vehicles. (more…)

My review: Erth Mineral Makeup 2007-08-14 13:57:08
Finally, I get a chance to try out my mineral makeup by Lush Erth sent to me a week ago. For a moment, I was lost looking at those lovely samples, there were so many in the package and honestly, I was so excited to test them out!
Being someone who don’t like a ‘made up’ face, I covet for a more natural and radiant look. I like my makeup to blend in with my physical attire and personality. And honestly, unless you are on the catwalk or camera scene, good makeup should not highlight your face but your personality. And if you are unsure of what sort of makeup can do the job, you ought to try out these mineral makeup at Lush Erth.
Since I was all new to mineral makeup, the makeup application tips of “Twirl, Tap and Brush” was helpful. I was reminded that a little goes a long way so I was careful not to use too much for my small face I chose a foundation colour that was best suited for my face and used the TTB techniques as suggested. Upon my first applicatio Read more:review

Cute button clock 2007-08-14 13:23:52 Many years ago, I bought a handcrafted mirror made of recycled materials at St Kilda’s Beach, Melbourne Australia. It was one of the coolest place to buy original handicrafts by talented artists. I left the heavy handmade mirror with a friend then and never got it back after.
Personally, I adore handcrafted stuff and that explains my frequent visits at Etsy.com. Just a while ago, I spotted this very cute Pink Foo Foo Button clock. You can tell at one glance that this is a 100% handcrafted clock and you can never find another piece of the same finish and that’s the nice thing about handmade items. This button
clock looks nice in a girl’s room and treasure chest on the top is great for rings and other small jewelries. But actually, it goes well with the modern kichler lighting on my ceiling. Get it at $85 at Etsy.com (artandartifacts).
be financially wise 2007-08-14 12:17:40 Maybe I sound like a broken record in saying this but I do enjoy shopping! I know alot of you do but whatever you do, just don’t get carried away with shopping that you start to live by your credit cards or having problems with making ends meet. Sad to say, I have come across many people who are faced with serious financial difficulties and much were the result of poor financial management. (more…)
a complete movie experience at home 2007-08-13 21:52:40
Watching a good movie
and enjoyable TV program is a wonderful way to relax after a hard day’s work. But it is even better if you are greeted with the highest quality of high definition channels. I know what it is to have inferior or TV programming that are unstable and disruptive and this experience
can be annoying when you are lounging out for some good entertainment. I often heard DH complaining when the sound went unclear at some parts of the show since he was the one who spent more time in front of the TV. (more…) Read more:complete
shop, compare and buy 2007-08-12 10:13:54 Are you a savvy shopper? Do you compare prices and do your research before buying something you like? I must admit that sometimes I don’t spend enough time on comparisons before buying something and as a result, I end up spending more than I should. (more…)
childhood games 2007-08-12 00:08:29
Being mom to a busy 3 year old, I have revived my childhood hobbies in the last couple of years. I find myself shopping for jigsaw puzzle, word games, play doh sets, educational books and toys, Lego blocks…etc. It is a great way to relax while spending some quality time with my boy. It feels good to do the fun things I used to enjoy when I was a child, though the toys these days are more sophisticated than what I had before.
What are the childhood games you enjoy?
how about online tutoring? 2007-08-11 23:16:19 I’m familiar with online
shopping but not online tutoring. It makes me curious on how tutoring can be done online. When I was a little girl, I remembered visiting my Math tutor’s house in the gathering of a group of other peers. With online tutoring, there are more options and you can do it at the comforts of your house, even when you are travelling with the family.
Whether it’s English or Geometry, online tutors are certified under stringent guidelines and are available 24/7. I’m not kidding - that means your children can get help anytime of the day! Get a free trial and if online tutoring working for your children, you may have found another new option for your children’s education!
shopping for our hawaii cruise 2007-08-18 04:06:13
After all these years of travel, I have never been on overnight cruises. I have never slept in cabins nor have I experienced the ocean breeze in the nights. So I’m scouting for a nice cruise during our stay in Hawaii, perhaps one of those 3-4 days cruise, just so that we can do some island hopping too. I know it’ll be fun for all of us, especially Clayton. He must be wondering why are we waking up to the ocean at the doorstep! Well, I found CruiseCheap.com where all sorts of cruises and cruise lines can be found. Cruises in Alaska, Bahamas, Carribean, Bermuda, Hawaii…etc… looks like I just found myself another great travel resource!
when being bald is not cool 2007-08-18 02:52:51 The crown of glory is very important to most of us, whether you are man or woman. Of course, one can argue that the man can go bald and in fact, it is cool to shave bald these days. But the thing is not every man looks nice in that ‘elegant’ look. I am thankful that my DH doesn’t look that bad in his current bald look though he had spent lots of money and time getting his crown of glory fixed in his younger days. (more…)

I want super fast broadband internet 2007-08-16 21:25:37
While I enjoy doing many things online - online shopping, banking, hotel booking - it gets frustrating when the internet connection is slow and disrupted. This has been happening too often in my local area and I find myself ’stranded’ whenever the internet connection is broken. ARgggrhhh. I only wish I can have Airinet Network here where broadband
connection only costs $25/month and the best part is I don’t even need any telephone or cable wires, not even a modem. It is truly WIRELESS! Currently, it is only serving the Pueblo, Colorado area with more coverage areas coming up soon. Broadband internet access is the way to go if you are online most of the time, especially if you are operating an online business. Besides, wireless connection you can be surfing anyplace, anytime without worrying if you have your modem or cables with you. Airinet even offers 100Mb email and hosting accounts free when you sign up for its monthly plan. I’m so envious of residents in th
shopping for home work help 2007-08-15 23:14:13
I had a chat with a good friend who is a mother of two girls, both seven and nine and in the conversation, I learned that her husband had been getting breakouts on his face. When I found out why, I burst out in laughter. According to her, those breakouts came because he was overly stressed during his girls’ exams period. Being busy parents, they haven’t had time to monitor their children’s progress in school. (more…)
shop with kohls and save 10% 2007-08-15 12:41:56 One of the fun things about shopping in a departmental store is that you can buy many things under one roof. There is something for everyone so it’s a fabulous place to shop for Christmas or celebration gifts. Shopping in one place means saving time and convenience. When it comes to Christmastime, my cousins in the US will shop at Target and Kohls for some good value buys. Though I enjoy shopping in these big stores, I don’t quite like the idea of long queues and crowded stores during those festives. So, that’s when shopping online can do the job!

colloidal for zits? 2007-08-15 10:18:59 Anyone troubled over zits and acne on your face? Though I haven’t had breakouts or acne problems, I know of friends who do and often hear their lamentations and complaints. Some have resorted to antibiotics and strong medications to fight this problem then face the risks of side effects. A good friend shares her positive experience of applying colloidal silver on her pimples and other skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
I am contemplating using it to strengthen my immune system since I’m prone to colds and respiratory troubles. Moreover, I have history of rhinitis and allergies. Research has shown that colloidal silver can help to fight colds, flus and coughs but this has to be done over a period of time. Though I haven’t tried it personally, the results reported have been positive and encouraging. Colloidal silver is recognized as a powerful natural antibiotic that can kill bacteria, parasites, virus and fungi. However, you should not use colloidal silver i

sweet pink flower power 2007-08-21 11:50:34
When I was expecting Clayton, I told myself that I wouldn’t carry those boring, pastel pink padded diaper bags on the streets. I would also refrain from those traveler bags which are used as diaper bags by some. In the name of vanity and style, I went shopping for nice, non-diaper looking bags. I settled my an allerhand cos Clayton arrived earlier than expected. Looking back, I only wished I had spent more time finding an attractive diaper bag that could be used for any occasion.
Though this Hottie Tottie Pink Flower Power may not be my kind of bag, I know some mommies or moms-to-be will love it for sweet pastel flower
s with the bold black ribbon. Designed in 16-1/2″ x 13-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ with a strap width of 1″; Drop: 10-3/4″, this bag is 100% stain resistant cotton fabric on the outside and lined with a sturdy canvas. You can even personalize it with your child’s initial or name. Get it at $59.99 at http://hottietottiedesigns.com Read more:power
i like marc by marc jacobs 2007-08-21 05:56:32
I have no doubt that one of my favourite designers is Marc Jacobs and I simply adore the Marc by Marc Jacobs line. The prices for the apparel can be exorbitant so I’ll wait eagerly for the end season sale each time. I like the fact that Marc’s styles are casual, chic yet not sloppy or shabby. They ar sophisticated and elegant yet won’t make you look overdress. Besides, the collection do not require you to take any hydroxycut diet pills to fit in them. For someone so petite like me, it can be hard to find the sizes at Marc Jacob’s especially when the ‘XS’ or Size 6 are produced in limited pieces. But well, I can now buy them online… but they don’t ship internationally
mailbox that lasts 2007-08-21 05:47:08
For the last few days, there have been lots of knocking and drilling coming from my new neighbour’s house. I’m going to get a new neighbour Well, the house has been vacant after our friend migrated to Australia so it’s nice that it’s to be occupied soon. I spotted a nice Gaines Classic Mailbox at my neighbour’s entrance. It is elegant and modern, with some subtle motifs on the finish. (more…)

karen zambos scarf 2007-08-21 00:19:17
Accessories can complement our attire as long as we don’t overdo it. In other words, they can make or break your look. To be safe, I usually go easy with jewelry and other accessories - less is more, they say. I had a dinner outing with a friend who is in the plasma cutter business and she had this lovely Karen Zambos scarf on her. Simple, elegant and tasteful. She had it around her neck and I couldn’t helped but asked more about it. After a search, I found it in my favourite store - shopbop.com. Check it out.

home of theme parks - florida 2007-08-20 10:05:47
So many travel sites have raved about the perfect Florida vacation. Being home to Disney, it looks like a great holiday destination for the entire family cos there is something for everyone. Exciting theme parks, glorious white sandy beaches, award winning golf courses and it’s hard not to enjoy yourself in an Orlando Vacation. Besides, the wonderful climate and year round sunshine makes it nice to plan for a vacation anytime of the year.
Maybe we’ll wait for Clayton to turn five just so that he can appreciate the theme parks a little more. At this moment, he will be ‘lost’ with all the choices surrounding him. I know it’ll be great enjoying ourselves as a family with all the entertainment, dinner shows, activities and adventures… I can’t wait for that day to come!

It is so hard to resist nice candy wrappers, sweet little wedding favors and cute decorated cookies during those special occasions.
