Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year everyone! I know it’s a little late, but it’s better than not saying at all. I got a little busy with the holidays plus, I’m also on duty. I was not able to snatch a little time to update this blog. Anyway, now it’s a new year, I decided to do a little house make over. I toss the old cabinet and bought a new one as well as a shoe rack. Then, I also cleaned our closet and remove all the unnecessary and unused clothes.

After doing that, I noticed some of our wires are cluttered in the floor, which looks so messy. I didn’t notice those before as I’m really busy. But, now that I discovered it, I can’t get it out of my mind. For that matter, I asked hubby to buy wire covers. Cable protectors are a simple and effective cable management and protection solution that can be used at home, in the office or on most job sites. Cable covers provide protection to valuable cables, hoses and wires, reduce tripping hazards, while keeping floor cables neatly concealed. Regardless of the type of installation needed, the traffic volume, or the budget, cable protectors are a great option in keeping the cables and wires in good condition.

beauty within you

Do you know that you are a unique person with a special kind of God gifted beauty which no other person possesses. That beauty is something very personal and individual. You must acknowledge that “hidden” beauty within you to know your own worth as a beautiful person.

Beauty is something which can neither be measured by any scale nor can be described in words. It’s an impression which one leaves on others and that impression is the true reflection of many fine characteristics of one’s own personality. We call it “inner beauty”. I have devoted a full Section of my site to “Beauty and Wellness” articles.

If in doubt about your beauty, you may be suffering from some kind of inferiority complex thus badly affecting your professional and family life. Don’t let the negative forces to ruin your life. Be confident about yourself.

Look straight in the mirror and say with full confidence “I am beautiful”. Wait and let the mirror say “you are beautiful”. On your way to job, shopping or social engagements, keep repeating “I am beautiful” and let others say “you are beautiful”. Your eyes, ears, nose, lips and even the pores of your skin must say “I am beautiful”. This type of confidence about your own beauty will leave no option to others but to admit that you are beautiful. [Read more...]

while watching Discovery Channel

Now I am watching television while surfing the web. Fortunately, I’m tune in Discovery channel’s “Factory made.” Well, it’s not all the time I get to know the process of making a foam mattress. This ordinary and mostly use item doesn’t get much attention. That’s why I feel good whenever I watch something like this. At least I know how it’s made.

Anyhow, I’ll continue watching the rest of the program. Good thing, its advertisement time I was able to write this small post until it resumes. Afterward, I’ll cook some dinner. Hopefully, I can get back here to continue updating this blog.

choosing the ironing board to buy

Ironing is one of the many household functions that people usually find overwhelming. It is the task of removing wrinkles from clothes (such as shirts, pants or trousers, and skirts) with the use of a heated tool, called an “iron” (modern designs that are available nowadays, however, are no longer made of iron).

Another ironing tool that goes with the iron is the ironing board. This is where most ironing is done, and it is generally a portable, narrow-padded board with a heat resistant top and supports that can usually be folded up.

Ironing boards are just as important in ironing as the iron. A good ironing boards can add to your convenience, making the seemingly difficult task of ironing a bearable one. It is therefore important that you choose an ironing board that would best suit your needs, and the following general guidelines will be able to help you by identifying the things that you should look for when choosing the ironing board to buy.

  • Size - if possible, choose the widest ironing board that you can find for a more effective ironing. A full-size ironing board is one that is at least 4 feet long and 12 to 18 inches wide.
  • Height - most people prefer to do their ironing while standing up. Standing up for a long time, however, could result to back strain. To minimize this, it is recommended that the ironing board should at least rise to about your hip level.
  • Mobility - another thing to consider when choosing an ironing board is the available space in your home. In general, there are 2 types of ironing board – the built-in and the portable. [Read more...]

somewhat their pastime in Kish Iran

Two of my roomies here in Kish, Iran are smokers. Puffing cigarette is somewhat their pastime. In fact, they can finish at least one box of Esse cigarette in a day that has become their trademark. I would love to leave them something to remember me like a box of cigar. Sadly, I don’t have one with me because I left everything back home. I didn’t know that I would meet lovely people that I will learn to love.

Tomorrow, I will leave them and it’s uncertain when we will meet again. I’m still unsure what to give them as a remembrance. Hubby said to give anything I can find, which is not too personal. But, I guess it is better that way other than not having something. Although I’m sure both of them will be happy to get a cigar in a humidor.

hopefully I can grab the discount

It was my fault why hubby’s north face backpack was damaged. It was August of this year that I decided to wash the bag. It’s been four years since it was bought, with all the wear and tear it’s inevitable that dirt accumulates. So, it’s logical to clean it before using again. But, I can’t find the care instruction so I clean it unknowing the right way, which resulted in damage interior. Good thing, the exterior is still in good condition.

However, the damage interior makes hubby feel sad. That bag is expensive and has great sentimental value because it was his first ever north face bag that’s why I’m planning to give him another one. I’m already looking for different north face backpacks in the internet where I find huge discounts on different models. I even find tote bags, which really suits me. Hopefully, I will be able to grab the discount by the time I’m ready to buy the bag.

Choosing the Right Art for your Home

Buying art for your home is one that should be enjoyable and never ending. Ideally, you should really relate emotionally to the artist’s vision and it should be an easy compliment of your own sense of style. Online you will find a wide selection of artwork in many different mediums and produced by famous artists at bargain prices. Get a feel for what you like and what compliments your home.

There is not one right answer for what style to go with. Art is by its very nature, subjective to the beholder. Ask yourself what you lean to the most, whether it is classical, contemporary, graphic, seascapes, or landscapes. Also, you don’t need to have the same theme in every room of the house or even in one room. You can make walls of a particular theme. Just work on the feeling and ambience that you are looking for. How you display your art is as important as the art itself. Here are a few interesting ways to frame a piece of art:

  • Shadow box: The depth really gives the artwork importance and can highlight a very small piece by making it look larger. This is a very popular medium and is used a lot to display awards for retiring military officers for example.
  • Un-mitered corners: In this case the frame is built as one piece as opposed to assembled from 4 separate pieces and gives a sense of elegance with its rounded edges.
  • Linen matt: This is a more formal presentation which gives a canvas a very traditional look. It works very well for oil paintings. [Read more...]
