Free blog pictures
In: internet
19 Nov 2008It is correct that a story is best told if there are accompanying visuals to stand out. Today I discovered free blog pictures from acobox.com. They are fully and properly licensed pictures that are ready to use, no copyright issues (!), like the one on the right, to make our posts captivating and interesting. Most of the time when I insert photos in my posts I would have to edit the codes and make it to the size I want, but these photos from acobox we don’t have to kept editing, because in the first place we can choose what size of photos we want to insert to our blogs, and they have five size options. Basically it is just copy…

Wearing more than one print
14 Nov 2008Fashion savvy, you know the rule, that we should never wear clothes with more than one print at a time. But we actually can and still be ‘in’. Patterns are harmonious enough when they are all in the same color scheme, so it is alright to wear them, we won’t look like a decorated Christmas tree at all.

Seiko
14 Nov 2008Honestly in the house I don’t wear jewelry most of the time. Well, unless we go out. I don’t even wear a watch. But when we go to parties or go for a date, I would peek into my Seiko watches for one to wear. I love them. The watches are beautifully designed and durable, and of course time dependable.

Mixing silver and gold jewelry
14 Nov 2008Should you wear both at the same time? It is a fashion rule that never should you mix your silver and gold jewelry. But some say that combining different metals make basic accessories feel unique and eclectic. But also check yourself or look at the mirror if it is not yet too much that you look like jewelry store.

Foot pain relief
14 Nov 2008I have been massaging hubby from head to toe, and guess what is his favorite part? When I massage his feet. And of course, after carrying all our weight the whole day our feet deserve some pampering and touch therapy to reset our energy that is why he would instantly doze off. But I just found out recently that there is thing that will help me, the Plantar Fasciitis. It helps to release pressure in your tendons and heels, relieve the painful foot condition in the heel and arch area by gradual stretching and you can even sleep in it. And I can promise once your feet are well taken care of, you will get the best sleep in your…

Perfumes
14 Nov 2008I was shopping online recently and one of the things I bought are perfumes. They’re expensive but they are worth the price. I also got several free samples and gifts with my orders. I was glad. My perfume collection is expanding now, but I still have some I would like to buy because after trying the samples, I loved the scent! And most of all, I would get a whole bottle for free with the gift certificate that comes with the 10 perfume samplers. I can’t wait to purchase it next time. Of course ladies, we want to be the sexiest and the best for our husbands, don’t we?

Home theater seating
In: house and home
14 Nov 2008Nothing is more comfortable and relaxing than a
home theater seating, especially with recliners where we also have holders for our cups of coffee, or for good health, cup of tea. It is really worth the experience. It is like we are treated as ‘kings’ by the design that makes the body rest effortlessly. The seating, the leather material and the overall look and design are much better than that in the theater, not worth comparing. I also like the different colors available at the theater store. I can easily find one set that matches our house’s interior design.

Beauty and the eyes
14 Nov 2008Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so the saying goes. For some people, it is the eye that holds the person’s beauty. The eyes have also the ability to hypnotize a man. Well, you can harness their seductive power with makeup. When the eyes are shaded darker the rest of the face, but of course not much to point you will look like a vampire without those fangs, tendency is that men are most drawn to you, and your smoky, sultry eyes. So how to create the sexiest eye effect? Just blend a range of soft, shimmery charcoal shadow. But remember, in makeup, less is more. And sometimes people look past through the eyes for beauty.

Popcorn machines
In: house and home
14 Nov 2008I have been trying to recall lately what was it that hubby told me he wanted for Christmas. All I could think of are popcorn machines. I know he likes it, and I needed it too in the kitchen so we will not just rely on the instant popcorn that we just heat up. He likes it buttery but sometimes the popcorn are dry for him so getting this new machine we can make our own popcorn according to hubby’s specifications, and will surely make our home date watching movies so much better, for him, and of course me.

Spa covers
In: house and home
14 Nov 2008I recently put a cover or mural of the hot tub in the house. This material is from spascenes that supply accessories for spas and hot tubs. They have several designs. I really like it because it gives color now to the otherwise had been plain gray cover. And I like the view. The mural is of very durable and water-proof material, and it is easy to install, I did it just by myself. If you like it for your spas, get your scene from spascene. You won’t regret it.
