Shopping.
I used to love shopping particularly during sale season. But that changed when I became a mommy. I still get excited during a sale but I usually choose to not go especially when I am with my son and I expect a large crowd of people in the mall. Thanks to online shopping I get to shop in the comforts of our home.
One site that I frequent is the women’s clothing section of shopwiki. I can spend hours exploring the site. I can find anything and everything in there and I need not browse any other site. My favorite is their complete women’s wardrobe section. This is the ultimate resource for any clothing item a girl may need. The Eco-Fashion section is interesting, too. You get to help save the environment and still wear trendy and hip clothes at affordable prices.
How Clean Is Your House.
With a little kid with asthma and allergic rhinitis in the house, I really do try to keep the place clean all the time. Even if it means waking up earlier or staying up late at night, just so I can tidy up the house. During these cleaning times I do miss having a helper. The husband of course helps but it is better when someone does the cleaning for you. The thing is, it is not that easy to find a good helper these days. We got one a few weeks back but I had to let her go. There are some things I do not like about her and having her around didn’t feel right. I am just thankful that I don’t have work and we can survive without a helper. Though there are some things that really need an extra hand to do like air conditioner cleaning, mold removal, Asbestos Ceiling Removal and the likes. I think I am going to need the services of alliance-enviro.com in cleaning the air conditioner especially now that the little boy frequently has asthma attacks and allergies. With the unpredictable weather we are having now, dust, pollen, mold and mildew could be the culprit.
I Need Ink.
I have not submitted the required family picture in the little boy’s school. I saw the other day that most of the kids have their family pictures posted on the wall already. I have been putting this off for weeks now as all of our recent pictures are in CD’s. And I have no plans of having them printed yet. I thought of having it printed here at home but the printer needs ink. I have been bugging the husband to look for inkjet cartridges, but he said that I should just have the picture developed instead.
I found a site, called inkers.biz that has sells generic but high-quality ink and toner cartridges. The toners and ink cartridges have one year guarantee against defect and they even offer a 30-day return policy. You can also have it shipped on the same day you place your order. And I can even pay through Paypal.
Home Lighting.
One of our most overdue projects in the house is the lighting. The cables and switches of the lights are actually in place. The problem is we haven’t bought the lights yet. We have limited budget during the renovation so we prioritised things. Sadly, the lights were not the priority at that time. And just when we were thinking of proceeding with the project, we couldn’t find our electrician. Anyway I have been looking for home lighting in the internet and I came across this pretty vanity lighting from Littmanbros.com. Their bath mirrors will look good in our bathroom. I like their progress lighting especially the pendant lighting. It will surely make our dining room come to life. I would also like to have the wall sconces and the mini pendants lighting. The husband will surely love these kinds of lighting as he is the one who is more particular with lights. He loves the drama and ambiance that lights bring into a home. The under cabinet lighting is on my list, as well. I’m sure it will make our kitchen look a whole lot better. I do hope we can proceed with this project very soon. This will definitely give our house the face-lift it very much needs.
Another Haircut?
I’m not getting another haircut anytime soon. I want to grow my hair again. However, I am bit torn if I should let it grow as it is or return to the salon to have it trimmed a little. I really want a wash and wear hairstyle as I do not want to spend so much time fixing my hair. Right now, it’s either I wear a clip or a headband then I am good to go.
I saw this full service salon chalfont while searching for salons. I frequent this salon in Alabang, but of course I’m still in the lookout for better salons. Anyway this hair salon chalont is not just the usual salon as it not only has hair stylists, but also nail technicians, estheticians, and massage therapists. You can expect to be pampered in this salon. Aside from the usual services, the hair salon chalont color systems is something to look forward to. Their color system is organic; you can expect no unpleasant side effects. You can have the beautiful hair you want without the use of unneeded chemicals.
My Wishlist.
Here’s a few of my wishes:
~ External hard disk. (Looks like I am going to have this one. The husband just hasn’t made up his mind yet on the brand.)
~ A sewing machine. (I really do want one.)
~ Canon G9. (I hope it will be sooner as I already sold my old digital camera.)
~ I think I want an ipod. (The husband said that I should just use my cellphone instead and bought me an additional memory card and uploaded several songs. But I am still checking out some ipod reviews just because.)
I am reading some gadget reviews just to get updated on what’s new. Stuff.tv got some good write-ups and reviews about gadgets like phones, computers and even toys. I also find their Top 10 very helpful as they provide the ultimate tech shortlist. The gadgets listed are already tested by them so we are sure to get the best.
Bathroom.
Aside from the bedroom, the bathroom is my favorite place in the house. I have always wanted a very nice bathroom, a place where I can unwind. I want the bathroom to be clean, relaxing and inviting. That’s why when he had the house renovated, I did search the internet for bathroom ideas and even clipped a few bathroom pictures from magazines. I even prioritized it over the kitchen. Our bathroom may not be as elegant as those shown in magazines and the internet. Our bathroom is simple actually, but it so much better and bigger than my bathroom in my parents’ house. Just last week, the husband replaced the shower heads and I am thinking of adding some bathroom accessories too. I saw pretty bathroom accessories from Better Bathrooms. I love their bathroom shelves as our current shelves need some updating. Bathroom mirror is likewise on my list as I have been wanting a mirrored cabinet for a long time now. Shower enclosures are nice addition, too. Their modern taps are so charming as well. They also have several items on clearance sale and special offers. Check out Better Homes now and you will be inspired to update your bathroom, too.
Let’s Bake.
I want to try baking. I have been collecting baking cookbooks for a few years now. Most of them I bought when I was still single. Sadly though I don’t have an oven yet. The husband has always been supportive of my hobbies and he has already approved of me getting an oven. I’m not sure yet though as I know that I’ll be needing more baking tools and gadgets, which means additional expenses.
I am checking out some kitchen appliances in the internet and saw some very nice ovens and ranges. I still need to research and canvass for the lowest prices. I don’t want to spend so much as I still am not sure how long my interest in baking will last.
Can’t Stop Talking About Cars.
Santa Claus (aka the husband) told me that he might get me a smaller car if I take up driving lessons. Of course, I know it’s far from happening. He, buying me a car and I, taking up driving lessons are both close to impossible. But I know the husband can be a generous giver provided he has the funds. Plus the small car we saw at the exhibit was not as pricey as the others. The price is relatively close to the price of the digital camera I am wishing for. I’ll just probably add that little car to my wish list. Anyway, I must say that I love the idea of me driving and taking the little boy to school and not bothering the husband to take me to places I want to go to. But then again just the mere thought of me driving scares me. How I wish I can get over this fear. For now I will just content myself browsing for cars like the ones in the New Cadillac Manchester NH site. They have the best value in luxury sedan. They also have the ultimate sport sedan and the big family cars that are both stylish and roomy.
GPS.
The husband has been reading a lot about the GPS Vehicle Tracking. I think he wants to have one installed in his car. The GPS tracking key is a small pocket-sized device that can be attached to a vehicle. The device receives signals from the twenty-four Department of Defense GPS satellites orbiting the earth. Its internal computer then can precisely determine the GPS location of the device within 2.5 meters and records this data every second. You can view the data in Google Earth by just plugging the tracking key to the USB port of a computer and downloading the data. Since GPS tracking key is small, it can easily be concealed, thus it will make a good security device for your car. In case your car is stolen, you can easily track your vehicle anywhere. It will be helpful, too for those who have businesses as it can help to easily track your vehicles. It can be placed anywhere, even under the car, since its magnet is strong and water-resistant. This tracking system is also widely being used daily by thousands of civilians, as well as government and other law enforcement agencies. If you are interested, you can visit LandAirSea Systems, Inc. They are the premier provider of GPS tracking systems in the surveillance technology industry.
