copper sink

Mom is now currently looking for copper kitchen sinks because she wants our sink to be replace after the cupboards are done. Though we have a good working condition one, but the thing is it is not copper made and she wants to match the color tone of the cupboards and most of the stuff in the kitchen. But the thing is, copper sinks are much more expensive than the ordinary ones, so what we are up to now is scouting for affordable suppliers of such sink. Do you have any suggestion? Please buzz me! thanks!

on banking

Now that I am already a mother, one of my biggest concern is to have enough bank savings for our daughter. You know, having a growing kid also means one thing, growing spending too but the husband and I promised that as much as possible we will try to save for the daughter's sake, for her school and just in case of some emergencies we cannot control, having something to pull is one of the safest thing specially now that life is really getting hard, with the recession and all.
Anyways, speaking of bank savings, we usually apply for savings account and as much as possible we try to save on banks that has been in the business for a long time and has a name of stability just you know, to make sure. So last week, I went to update our account and over hear two bank employees talks about Offshore Bank Accounts, I was dumb founded after hearing the terms, so what I did was immediately google the said bank accounts and there I found that it is a trust type of bank accounts for companies and even individuals who would like to get special type of service when it comes to trust banking and assets protection. So there, another mind feed for me :D

My friends and I are really excited because of makeup loots from Boston were already picked up and is about to be ship anytime this week. And all we need to do is count the days before the boxes arrive with all our shopping loots! And that only mean one thing, meet up with my girl friends! Funny how we get along well, you see we came from different far away places but became friends online for one or more reasons like shopping, working online, being a wife and blogging. Actually it is where I found those remarkably sites that I usually visits now like stylehive.com, somebody buzzed the site while we were talking about beauty products and after that, we were all hooked! Hooked from finding great online beauty stuff with great discounts and coupon codes which we can order! From mineral makeup hunt, to the best shade of blush from Nars, the 100% naturally made eye shadows and plumping lip glosses! Mostly from the reviews that was posted at stylehive. Our beauty bible! Anyways, our next shopping target?! shoes and clothes! for we are done with bags, watches and wallets last week that's why :)

today

I was out the whole day today, met up with a friend Diane at the mall. Brought along my daughter and sister too, it was a fun day for all of us though with some booboos on the side it was still a ok! Anyways, I had to asked them to accompany me at the drugstore since earlier today my head starts aching again, I bought some pain relievers and Apidexin too! Will try if it's really effective as some of my friends suggested it to me. They lose weight big time! And since I am on that same boat, trying some pills might also do good. Anyways, will blog more tomorrow since it's already way past my bedtime to think that it's Sunday night! Quality time with my little one first! tata!

sexy heels!

Don't you just love wearing heels? Because I do! Though I may not have many pairs on my shoe cabinet, only few for special occasions. Since you know, being a hands on mommy to a two year old kid, wearing high heeled shoes is quite impossible. But for special events, I really try my best to wear one sleek so to match my get up. I really love wearing heels on formal dresses, gowns and even on jeans for it can make me feel sexy and gives me confidence, I don't know what's with that but it really does give a lift on self esteem and attitude! But would you believe that it took me like years to get the right feel of wearing one? It was hard for me during the first few years but I made sure to get used to it, sure enough, I was even able to run wearing one without landing first on my face! In fact, at some point, it was really comfortable. Anyways, why am I blabbing about sexy pumps you ask? Because I would like to recommend stylehive.com, a site that features great fashion finds for those who are looking and want to be updated with fashion trends! Go check it out and see the lovely collections they feature!

tomorrow is another day

One of my things to do tomorrow is to go to the motor shop and pick up our hammer! lol. It's been there for three days now actually, had to do a semi overhaul or whatever that's why. Hopefully my dad can come along with me so he'll be able to check the necessary things before we hit the road again. We might also check out some gadgets at the nearby auto store and see how much items like gps systems, steering wheels etc to see if the husband can bring home some of it from where he is now so we can resell those and earn a little moolah too. Alright then, time to hit the sack now, so much to do for tomorrow!

Earning and Enjoying.

When I decided to become a full time mom and wife more than a year ago, I gambled on the fact that our savings would be unstable since our steady income would be halved. We weighed the pros and cons and with a great faith and hope, we made a big leap. If I am to assess our condition now, life is surely tough still because of unending economic crises but thankfully, we're doing great. Our dining table is still bountiful, we get to places wherever we want to go, and even get to enjoy our whims and fancies. Thanks to home-based opportunities, I am able to help the husband big time. As you know, I earn moolah from writing online works and accepting freelance photography services. These two are my passions so I'm actually getting paid while I do the things I love and still have ample quality time with my daughter. Speaking of photography, I'm thankful that I've been getting wedding bookings. I know it's still a long way to go to be considered an expert in this field but I'm just stoked with all the opportunities I am given. Because as they say, every opportunity is a venue to learn. Aside from weddings, I am eying to try out other fields. Like be a jewelry photographer or a sports photographer or a food photographer ever. These three are quite interesting, right? Well, let's see where will this lead me.

Work it Out!

For fitness purposes, this is one of my wish list either a treadmill or one of those sale elliptical from proform.com. Imagine being uniquely price of less than $500! so tempting I know, but since I still have to consider a lot of things and this is still on the almost bottom list. But who knows, my sister has been bugging my parent's to buy one so if they buy, it can be crossed out from my list for I only have to borrow and use theirs whenever I'm at my folk's house! oh, I just hope they consider buying one! I'm such a user eh? funny but really, I hope they get one since it'll be for everyone's fitness purposes.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Your Birthday's Wisdom is Action

If there is one thing you've learned in life, it's get moving. Procrastination just makes things so much worse. If you dream it, you do it. You believe in going for it. And as a result, you've had success in many arenas. You rather regret what you did than regret what you were scared to do.

What's Your Birthday's Wisdom?
