Hair Talk

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I have had this long (down to my back), straight (read: lifeless), uncolored (clarification: left uncolored for months so my roots are showing) hair for months. I haven’t cut my hair in over a year and it is just screaming for a change.  I have planned to have it curled (I have been dreaming of curls since two years ago) but now that I have achieved the length I want for it to have curls, fickle-minded me wants to have it cut! Hairstyles for summer are short layers because one would spend less amount of time having it dried and if you have treated hair, being out in the sun will be damaging to it. It is also perfect to have it grow long in time for the cooler months.

I checked out the Latest Hairstyles and it seems sexy layers, long lengths and sideswept bangs never go out of style. I might as well have it curled to be able to experience it. As one friend advised, if it doesn’t suit me, I can always have it cut. If I cut it now, I will wait another year to find out if it suits me.

Hair Styles involving curls require one thing: volume and control. I think I am in need of hair products soon! I will post about it soon (or scrap about it why not!) once I have my long-delayed curls!

Shopping Wisely

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Last year was such a huge shopping year for me, even if technically, we were not doing well, economy-wise. Work has been very very good for me and I didn’t have the foresight to “save for the rainy days”. This year we started off right – I made a commitment to save, and to save like there is going to be no more work for me tomorrow :) . Two months into the year I have been able to save well, well enough for me to spend something for my birthday (two weeks ago). Of course, I still shopped wisely.

Discount Codes are a huge help for people who want to still save while purchasing. The Unbeatable site offers the latest, biggest and most importantly, "working" codes when it comes to discount coupons on shopping online. From kitchen appliances, gadgets, TVs, camera, furniture and shoes, they offer a complete selection! They have featured coupons to certain shops at a certain time, but the site is so easy to navigate because every category (specifically) is listed on the right side of their home page. How specific can dishwashes, ovens, freestanding cookers and vacuums can be? You certainly won’t be lost in their site!

Shape and Form

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Can you believe it’s actually September already? Time seriously flies and before you know, we are about to go into another new year. September is the start of Christmas planning and shopping, as well as Christmas holiday parties. Parties mean good overflowing food which translates to fats. Parties also mean you need look your best and that presents a problem if you are eating good food every weekend! The solution? A Full Body Corset from Glamour Boutique!

Stroller Talk

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I never knew that strollers are treated like cars these days. They are thought over, compared with others, window-shopped over a thousand time and obsessed with before buying “the one”.

I probably shouldn’t be surprised because they are expensive! I know it is an investment because you can use it with your other kids but at $500 a piece, it can be mind-boggling.

Take for example the Bugaboo Bee stroller. I have friends who have invested on this and though they are a bit pricier than the others, they think it is worth it and more.

 Assorted Bugaboo Bee colors: yellow, red, dark khaki, blue, pink, black

Here are the reasons:

  1. Reversible seats
  2. Lightweight (only 17.5lbs) – Do not tell me there are strollers which are heavier?!
  3. Handlebar and wheels are easy to turn, managing even 360 degree turns.
  4. 4-wheel independent suspension – meaning your baby won’t even notice bumpy rides (see, I told you we are talking cars here!)
  5. Extendable seat – making it suitable from birth to toddlerhood
  6. Easy to fold and handle – with one hand
  7. Suitable for any car seat
  8. Machine washable fabric
  9. Under seat basket can accommodate up 4.2 gallons
  10. There is a sun canopy and rain cover
  11. Four Position Tilting Seat

Looking at its features, you would think we are buying a car don’t you?

Saving on Scrapbooking Supplies

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Shopping for scrapbooking supplies is no joke. I have heard how much it can cost to go into paper scrapbooking. That’s why I never really got into it. However, the same goes for digital scrapbooking – you need to invest on a good computer, printer, camera and some accessories that will make life easier for you like a tablet, more camera lenses and camera equipment.

image But people are naturally resourceful. I, for one, have found a way to be able to buy camera equipment and save at the time through the use of coupons. I always knew that I can use Best Buy coupons to splurge on camera lenses I do not really need but want to be able to capture better photographs.

So how do you save on shopping for scrapbooking supplies? Moreover, how will you be able to shop for scrapbooking supplies without making a huge dent in your budget?
