house new do

Whenever hubby and i talks about our daughter and her room when she grows up we would love her to have her own sense of style, like her decision on how she wants her room to look like. maybe we'll let her see different styles of beds like princess beds with nice quilts and wait and see if she would want to have one. There are also many wood furniture makers that can make nice and comfy furniture's for our home and for the little brat in our area and creating one for her wouldn't be that hard and costly, I hope. I remember when we were still kids, my sister and I have sharing beds too, I stays on the top level of the bunk because my sister is too lazy to walk her way to the top. One time when i get the chance, i'll have our picture scan and post it here.
Anyways, my mom is thinking about buying a new armchairs for the house, you see our old wood sofas is quite old already, a little older to my sister i think, and mama would like to have now a modern style furniture for the home, since she is already done with the kitchen furnitures it is now the living room's turn, then it would be the bedroom that will be re designed and a new bed for my sister would definitely be on the list. there are so many new ideas on how to redecorate one's home specially now with so many sites like www.lombok.co.uk that features quality /modern/stylish looking furnitures. so if you're like in the mood for browsing and checking out the latest designs, you can drop by their website and see for yourself the beautifully made home furnitures.
You see, who wouldn't want to have their own sets of new stuff in their own homes today? especially now that there are a lot of varieties and designs to choose from, be it for a country style house or an english style homes, you decide. and i bet you'll have a hard time on choosing from one design to another. and for those who wouldn't want the hassle of consuming time to decide, check out www.lombok.co.uk and see for yourself the great variety of new designs created for the modern homes with different colors and sizes to chooses, now that's something different and unique right.

c again

I heard that there are many reasons for people to face court actions, one of the many are financial cases, being submitted to court are because of bad credit. be it from credit card companies to other financial institutions, sometimes people tend to neglect their monthly bills thus having themselves being burden with additional costs coming from interests and other hidden charges. and with that, people tend to run away from their responsibility in getting their monthly dues settled. But good news for those who really wanted to face and pay their dues for totally free credit report gives hope and chance for those who wanted to gain their financial stability back into shape by giving special privileges and offers to regain their financial stability and even rebuild their credit card! by providing the ability for free credit score and debt referral for those who wants to regain their financial condition. they also do financial analysis and running credit score with connection to other debt and financial managing companies.

studying again

I am super thinking of getting myself into another course or a master's degree. But too afraid to walk in a University corridor, I might feel too old to study or I might not meet my professor's expectation when it comes to subject grades and class performance. Feeling paranoid I know, but what can I do? it has been six long years the last time I go to school class and had my share of quizzes, exams and recitations too! And it's freaking to just simply think about it! Can I do it? Can I still handle the pressure? oh my! I'm not sure about it. But one thing is steady when it comes to studying again, the fact that online schools now exists! Yes, online schooling it is. The fast rising way of studying online college major and Master's too. With onlineschools.pro offering of fully online schooling, everyone will be greatly welcome to study again without all the worries and all. All you need to think about is the money to take care for the enrollment and of course, good internet connection to keep you going smooth!

lets do this

My sister is actually on her way to freeing herself from one of the most humiliating stage of her life - her debt consolidation . Actually, she has been paying for it the longest time now, but you see, hidden charges and interests keeps on blowing her bills thus making it impossible to finish settling the said credit issue. So I told her about this

different kind of consolidation like medical debt consolidation and rental debt which she can actually avail through mydebtconsolidationadvice.com. A financial institution that truly helps out those who are being buried alive because of financial debt (read: credit cards, fast cash and all).

Anyways, with this consolidation, a debtor can get 50% reduce balance from her real obligation,meaning it can really help save money from it. Plus the fact that one can really avoid bankruptcy because you'll be able to pay in once a month process. And what I like about it is that in continuous payment, one can finish his or her financial problem in 12-30 months! that fast and secure.

Get Rid of it! here are some tips to a new beautiful you.. yes.. by using stuffs from your kitchen! no fuzz!

Here's 6 ways to help eliminate dark circles: 1. Get enough sleep. Try to go to bed a little earlier than you normally would. 2. Cucumber slices have a soothing effect on the eyes. 3. Use sunscreen every day and moisturize in the night preferably using a good under eye cream. 4. Drink plenty of water to hydrate the skin. 5. Apply cold compresses. 6. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Iron deficiency can be a cause for dark circles around the eyes.

home care products

This may sound ew for this is a food blog, but I can't help but talking about good hygiene too you know, anything that has to do with cleanliness is good right. And you wouldn't want to see someone who cooks for you has a very un-admirable freaks on their body right? That is why it is better to gear up your house and your home with so many preventive products for your family use such as Foot Care Product and other stuff that can be use when something unavoidable happens. Anyways, why am I blabbing about this? basically because I wanted to share with you the one of the nicest preventive product I have been using for years now, it's ENGO® Blister Prevention Patches! super effective when it comes to blisters and the likes, and this patches does a lot of good things too! you can find the many ways by checking out their site for their tips and techniques to use.

Unpretty Sight

here's a tip for removing make up stains after sleeping with them on

Did you sleep with your mascara on, and there's no eye makeup remover in sight? No worries, grab some kitchen standards to save the day! Use a little vegetable oil or butter on a cotton pad or tissue. Gently pat around your eyes. Not only will it remove the makeup , but it moisturizes too!!

egg and cucumber mask

Another mask created from the stuff of the kitchen! Super nice and effective, for I already tried this one too! super refreshing!

Ingredients: 1 tbsp nonfat dry milk, 1 egg white, 1/2 peeled cucumber, 1tsp plain yogurt, 1 tsp mint. Great for toning, moisturizing and softening. Blend all the ingredients in the blender until smooth and well mixed. Apply mask to your face with the elf foundation brush, put a slice of cucumber on each eye, relax and leave on for 20 minutes, then wash.

Yummy favors

Have you notice now that is has been becoming a trend for wedding to give out unique personalized wedding favors such as edible cupcakes, chocolate bars and other food that can be eaten by guests after the event? That is why, my friend Paula and I decided to start up our mini business of creating personalized cup cakes for special occasions. But actually, would you believe that I got all those bright ideas from theknot.com three years ago when I was still preparing for our wedding. I totally got hook with all their bright ideas that has something to do with their wedding helps and tips. And yes, their wedding shop are super neat too! selling almost everything that fits the couple perfectly since it is unique and personalized too. It such a good thing to have sites like this that offers great items for brides who needs great help!

my two cents with flowers

With so many weddings that are still schedule this month, more and more flower shops are marking up their prices when it comes to their wedding flowers. Would you believe that it is one of my favorite thing to see during weddings? Yes, aside from the gown that the bride wear, I often see myself looking intensely at the bride's bouquet. Funny I know, but for me, getting a nice set of flowers on your wedding is one of the most important detail that a couple or a wedding coordinator must accomplish. Because you see, guests will always see the arrangement of flowers that the bride always hold during the entire ceremony. It is often glitch on weddings when the bride overlook during her preparation, so for me, if you would ask for my opinion, it is better to look for credible flower shop for your own bouquet. Check out sites that offers great designs and promises beautiful fresh creations like fiftyflowers.com, a site that ship flowers overnight, freshly cut, and beautifully made. Best for busy brides I must say!
