Little Secret

Psst…let me tell you a little secret I have about blog advertising. It’s Pay U2 Blog, one of the best blog advertising services around! I’ve been using them for about a month already and I’m so in love with them! I love how they assign assignments to their bloggers instead of making us fight it out over limited opportunities like some other advertising companies. So if you haven’t signed up with them yet, what are you waiting for?!

Fashionable Threads

I was recently in the UK for work and what I noticed was how fashionably dressed some of the people are. They really take the effort to dress up well with matching handbags, purses, fashion accessories and top off the final touch with a nice silk scarf which makes them look so elegant. Even the men dress well in designer fashion and their range of men’s clothing there is so much wider than what we find here. When I walked past a stored, a sign they had in their entrance caught my eye - See the news about Belisi Fashions. Peeping in to take a look, I found that they carried lots of great designer wear from the famous Peter Belisi at affordable prices. No wonder their people can dress so well there!

Summer Camping

It’s the summer holidays now and airports all over the world are crazy. A friend staying in the States thought of taking her children back to see her family but due to her delay in booking flights she was unable to secure any tickets for them. So when I last called her, she told me her last resort was to take up a cabin under the Pigeon Forge cabin rental service near the Great Smokies! At least that way they’ll still get a holiday out of it!

Good Estate Brokers

A friend of mine is interested in getting the market price for his house or just looking around for potential sales. Luckily for him, we had just sold ours so I managed to pass him the details of the real estate broker we used which was very good and reliable. Hopefully she does the area that he lives in and manages to give him a good price for his property too cos good estate brokers are hard to find!

No More Smells

I never realized the importance of getting good range hoods for our kitchen until we moved to a condo. The small space of the unit and open kitchen concept meant that we had to get the best range hoods in the market to ensure that our cooking didn’t turn the entire house into a kitchen! Luckily we found a great dealer who was really good with advice and got a fantastic hood that did the job really well for a reasonable price. Now we can even fry fish without the house ending up like a fish and chippery shop!

Spanish Stint

I've always wanted the chance to visit Spain so when I was recently sent to the UK for some work assignment, I quickly took the opportunity to plan my trip to Spain. Airline fares were reasonably cheap but it wasn't easy to find Cheap Hotels in Barcelona. Luckily through Cheaper Than Hotels, I managed to find reasonably priced Hotel Accommodation in Barcelona and Madrid. I had limited time and was quite torn between Barcelona and Madrid as I had enough time to only visit 1 city. In the end, the prices of the Hotel in Barcelona won out over Madrid and I decided to plan my visit to that city. I like this site very much as it allowed me to book my hotels last minute. I found out that their accommodation is available both last minute and all year round which suited my purposes very well! So, hola! I'm off to Spain!

Play Hockey

Do you or your kids love hockey? If they do, then you might want to check this great site out. It's a great hockey site catered to all hockey fans out there. From this site, you'll realise that it's not just a game played at the school level but a serious game which can even be taken to national levels. It's a game that involves strategy, brain work and quick footedness to secure the winning goal. So do check it out and happy hockey-ing!

International Dating

The world's just becoming a global village today and everywhere is a hop, skip and jump away. There are lots of interacial marriages too with people of all races coming together. A friend of mine used to tell me that she wanted to marry a European so she'll have gorgeous children. I teasingly told her to check out this new interacial romance site and hopefully she'll find someone she can marry there!

Coupon Shopping

I used to admire a colleague’s beautiful clothes and jewellery that didn’t look like anything I could find in the stores here. They were very interesting and unique looking items which I knew the mall didn’t carry. When I asked her more about it, she told me that she bought them online most of the time and it often worked out cheaper than retail prices, thanks to great deals she gets from Keep Cash. It’s a great site that provides discount coupons on all your favourite stores. Some of the bargains are really good while some offer free shipping so either way, you always end up saving! She told me that she usually buys her shoes from Payless Shoes and gets such great deals on them with her coupons that she never buys retail anymore! I should definitely try shopping here too! It’ll cut down my shopping bills!

Financial Freedom

I’ve been toying with the idea of doing my own thing recently and came across a franchise magazine promoting vendstar, a leading bulk candy vending machine manufacturer in the United States. The Vendstar franchise provides a great opportunity to own your own vending business and giving you financial freedom, free from your boss’ glowering face! The business has grown tremendously since it was first established in 1990 and in 2003, has seen almost 9,000 members signing up for the franchise. It’s a fool-proof business which are 100% cash based which is very hard to find now. It can give you up to 80% profit margins and since the United States is so wide, there’s ample room for growth for every member.

Imagine the opportunity to work from home and dictate your own hours! I’m sure that’s a luxury most of us can only dream of. But now we all can with Vendstar.

Gorgeous Girly Underwear

We were in Singapore last weekend and since I didn’t have much time to pack, I ended up with mismatched underwear. When I saw my weird underwear combination in the fitting room, I decided that one of the next things I had to look for was womens underwear!

I found this great online Aussie site called Down Under Girls Gear which carries a fantastic array of gorgeous womens underwear from G-strings to thongs and traditional briefs. I used to be quite reluctant to try G-strings as I was half-convinced that they would be uncomfortable. That was until I ordered a pair from this site and found it so amazingly comfortable I couldn’t understand why I didn’t try it earlier! They have an amazing array of brands available including popular ones like Calvin Klein and Kookai so you’ll definitely be spoilt for choice! So if you’re looking for sexy or serviceable underwear, you’ll find it all at Down Under Girls Gear!

Addiction Treatment Available

Drug addiction has always been a social problem everywhere. Young curious people who are at an impressionable age get introduced these deadly pills at nightclubs, bars, parties or simply from friends whom they thought they could trust. And being the young curious people they are they never realise that it only takes one small white pill to send them on the downward spiral of drug addiction.

Nowadays, it’s scary to see that people are getting addicted, not only to designer drugs like Ecstasy or hard-core ones like heroin. They’re even getting addicted to painkillers. The addiction for this one starts off in an even more unassuming way. What could start as a simple tiny aspirin taken to alleviate a headache or pain can lead on to an addiction where bigger and bigger doses are taken just to chase away pain or for a natural high that comes with big doses of drugs. I actually saw that happening with an elderly relative of a friend. He was taking so much morphine for a cancer pain that in the end bigger and bigger doses of morphine had to be given just to alleviate his pain. The same has happened to Chinese people of the past who were reliant on opium and would sit around for hours in a day simply floating in their own little opium-induced world. What these people don’t realise is that those little white pills called painkillers are real drugs and can be fatal and addictive in huge doses.

There haven’t been many drug rehabilitation centers that addressed this addiction as their focus was mainly on hardcore and designer drugs. However, a new free, non-profit site now provides the answer to painkiller addiction treatment. 1800nodrugs acts as a portal for addicts or their friends and family who are looking for a short or long term rehabilitation program for their painkiller addictions. The service they provide is absolutely free and available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. So if you know of anyone suffering from a painkiller addiction, help them by directing them to 1800nodrugs. It’ll be the best gift you could give them.

Both Sides of the Story

The environment has become a very sensitive topic recently. Large corporations and multinational companies are constantly under a lot of pressure to conform to environmental laws and to dispose of their factory waste in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Any small non-conformance is easily blown up by the press as what was recently demonstrated in the case of a BP factory in Whiting, Indiana. BP, recently, has come out with their own statement as they claim that they press release in the Chicago Tribune had grossly misrepresented some important facts. As such, they would like to present all the available facts to allow readers to form their own conclusion.

BP’s Whiting Refinery Fact Sheet states that:

• Only treated water from their refinery is released into Lake Michigan and not sludge as claimed. Sludge from the refinery is always dealt with in the proper manner and has never nor will be released into Lake Michigan. The refinery’s average ammonia discharge was also well within the new water discharge permit which allowed an increased level of discharge to be released.
• BP is fully committed to protecting all aquatic and human life under all state and federal laws, regulations and guidelines and will never seek to harm the people or the environment in the course of business. BP is also constantly seeking to improve themselves and has voluntarily reduced total suspended solids in its water discharge by 40% in the past 4 years.
• A planned total of $150 million will be used to enhance the refinery’s wastewater treatment in the modern Whiting plant and BP constantly works together with all levels of regulations, organizations and committees to remain transparent and to develop comprehensive, environmentally sound plans.

More information can be found on the BP Whiting Refinery Fact Sheet. And so, as readers, it is always important to keep an objective view and to know both sides of the story and gather all relevant facts before forming our conclusions.

Never Too Thin

In a world where women are striving to be constantly thin, all kinds of products have come on the market to help them lose their unwanted pounds. One really effective product that works, however, is hoodia, a new appetite suppressant that helps to curb those snack attack moments and hunger pangs. Best of all, it’s completely natural so you wouldn’t need to worry about dangerous side effects that come from chemical infused weight loss products. After all, a woman can never be too thin or too rich!

Don't Smoke

A colleague in my office used to be a chronic smoker until he was diagnosed with some lung damage and heart problems some time ago. He now carries with him a digit finger pulse oximeter to quickly and accurately check his blood oxygen levels and pulse rate at anytime of the day. It’s quite sad sometimes watching how diligently he has to monitor his health as any drop in his blood oxygen levels could mean there is a problem with his lungs. I guess people don’t realise the perils of smoking until it’s too late.

Beautiful Homes

My aunt is in real estate and when she was recently in town, she was giving us some great tips on which were the best properties to buy. According to her, property prices have been on the upward trend and some people have been making lots of money by simply flipping over their property investments. One of her recommendations was Wilmington NC real estate. However, when I saw how beautiful the property was, I’d much rather live in it than sell it!

Professional Movers

I never knew moving house was so much work until we recently moved from the suburbs into the city. Luckily, I managed to find a great moving company through Top Moving Company’s directory. It’s a great help to people who are moving locally or across the state. They provide all the assistance you need by searching through their database to find you the best moving companies, storage rentals, trucks and a lot more. They even have value-added services of locating realtors, schools, apartments and others for the new place you’re moving to! Their site was easy to use and I was able to find my moving company very easily. Best of all, because I know they have already performed the due diligence check on their advertisers, I can be assured that the movers I get from their site are honest, professional and reliable.

Save with 100 Big Coupons

Although Christmas is half a year to go, I do like to get my Christmas shopping out of the way early. That way it gives me time to think what my recipients would like and try to look for something they might actually enjoy instead of just rushing around madly buying things that they would throw to the back of their cupboards after the gifts have been opened. Nowadays with online shopping, Christmas shopping has never been easier and it’s made even better with online coupons that offer fantastic discounts on lots of sites ranging from children to adults gifts.

100 Big Coupons gives great deals on all kinds of shops and online merchants from famous retailers like GAP and Eddie Bauer to even florists and computers! I like how they have a section on their main page showing the day’s newest coupons and deals. It changes everyday according to the deals that come in and usually last for a month. Sometimes there are some real bargains there such as free shipping on Footwear from Rockport or up to 75% discounts on CollectionsEtc. There’s even a place where you can sign up for the newsletter to be constantly updated on the best deals for all your favourite online merchants. So, do surf over and start your Christmas shopping early!
