More Bedroom Styles

And while I'm at it, let me share these beautiful bedrooms from my favorite blog - Desire to Inspire.

You'll get to escape just by staying in one of these rooms. :)

'Ladies' Room

Just seeing the words cross country moving made me think of my favorite design style - Country Chic.

Now I want a bed like this.


It won't be for our masters bedroom but in a room designed just for me. I know - an extra room just for me? But that's not impossible you know. If ever we get rich and can afford to really design our dream house according to our liking, I'm positive that my husband would want a room for himself. Instead of a bed and comfy chairs, he'll put all his music instruments there, books, gadgets and what-not.

Life and Insurance

Getting life insurance rates for sister-in-law today. She wanted to go ahead and purchase the first package she saw but I told her to wait and let me get some quotes online first. It helps to compare all the rates and the benefits before making a decision. That's what we did when we got mine and my husband's so we're very happy with our package. We're done paying his premiums so now we're just waiting for the annual revenues that was promised to us by the insurance company. Although it's not as important as the benefit that we're leaving behind for our kids, it's good to know that we'll get something even if we're alive.

Home Sweet Home

I would love to own one of those really cool motorhomes like in Meet the Parents 2. Imagine going from one place to another with all the comforts of your home with you. I'm not just talking about toilets and beds but you can bring your whole work area, hair dryers, flat irons and if you're anything like my MIL, the whole kitchen as well.

City of Brotherly Jobs

A friend from college got in touch with me and our other friends the other day. She had just immigrated to the United States and I guess she was feeling a bit lonely and needed some people to talk to. She had spent a month at her sister’s in Los Angeles, but was now headed east to Pennsylvania where she planned to settle down. Her brother lived there and had offered to put her up while she looked for a job. She says times are a bit trying because she's scoured Philadelphia job listings and applied for jobs everywhere but is running into some tough luck getting employment. I hope she finds work soon as she’s one of the kindest people I know and I’m sure the last thing she wants is to be an imposition on her brother (though I’m certain he doesn’t mind it at all—Pinoy values rock!).

On Clear, Poreless Skin

What's the easiest way to get rid of blackheads on nose? I've tried pore strips, cleansers and what-not but only managed to get 20% at most. My friends suggested going to the dermatologist but I find it too costly and time-consuming. Plus imagining someone pricking my face isn't exactly my cup of tea. Looking at their faces though, I'm almost tempted to go. They have this really clear skin and not too visible pores I can't help but just be envious. I wonder if there's a supplement that you can take to make your skin as clear as if you go to the dermatologist regularly? Most asians I know have lovely complexions and according to a Chinese friend, they drink special herbal teas that not only make their skin lovely but their overall health too. I'd definitely be more than willing to try something like that than have my skin pricked for hours.

Reduce Stress and Belly Fat?

I've been seeing plenty of relacore reviews online lately. I did a quick search and found out that this is also known as the "belly fat pill". According to Relacore website, it takes more than diet and exercise to fight belly fat. They mentioned a link between stress, tension and belly fat and if you take this drug, not only you can lose weight but it will also improve your mood. My only opinion for now is that you should do your research well before trying new drugs such as this one. I'd go as far as suggesting that you wait for a few years until plenty of people have tried the drug and suceeded.

Starting a Healthy Lifestyle

Researching for colon cleansing benefits before I start with my to-do tasks. My husband and I promised each other that we'll do what we can to live a healthy life. We started by not eating meat except chicken. Vegetables and fish became our main dish the whole week and none of them are fried nor buttered. It has been only seven days and we're already feeling much more alert and active the whole way. It could be just in our minds but I don't care as long as I can feel its advantages. Another upside is that our daughter is now also eating healthy unlike before when she eats nothing but fried food.

Giving Stuff Away to Get More Business

I'm looking into using promotional pens for my client who wants to sell real estate web sites. We have tried brochures and flyers and they are doing good. However, why stop there when you know that a pen stays longer with a person than a flyer. I just have to be very creative in using his company logo and finding a place to insert his web site url. Another option is to have a mini-contest in his web site and give away umbrellas, mugs and USB drives to users who can refer a paying client. But we'll try the pen first and see how effective it could be before we invest more money on giveaways.

Armchair Activist

I walked into our room yesterday afternoon and was surprised to find the husband tuned in to the infomercial channel. I was half expecting him to expound on why people typically buy whatever Mr. White Skin Perfect Teeth is selling and how those behind infomercials are able to hit home with their target market most of the time but there was nothing. An ad for several weight loss products came on and there was still silence. Slightly disturbed at his apathy, I came in for a closer look and discovered the reason behind his silence and why the TV was tuned in to where it was, the analyst was fast asleep.
