Laptop, Anyone?

I am planning to get a laptop for my siblings back in the Philippines. Not only does it help with our communication as we love to chat over IM and the advantage of seeing each other on the web cam is really a plus. Who doesn't want to see his family any time when distance is the issue, anyway? It's a great tool as well for my brother and sister's studies and sure it will help a lot when Internet is also available in my parents' house. I would love to get a desktop computer when I get to visit them a few months from now but laptop is more convenient and that I can buy it from here to bring over as a present for my family. We have an extra DELL laptop here at home which is relatively old and hubby had abandoned it completely after getting a new one. I doubt if he's going to give it away if I would ask. Anyway, I never tried asking him yet as I have my desktop to use that's why it seems unnecessary if I would ask to use it or if we could get rid of it by giving it to my siblings. He's the kind of person who puts his things aside that only end up useless like the computer or camera for example once he buys a new one. It sometimes make me feel bad because there are other people who can barely afford to get one. Hubby doesn't realize it most of the time.  This is available at DELL's website.  - $1,669

Coach Ballet and Bliss Flats

Aren't they gorgeous?  Well, the first time I saw them I was really drooling. Oh my, I can't wait to have a pair or two. I just get attracted to something colorful and that's what happened when I found this Ladie Stripe Ballet Flat from COACH. I so love, love the colors and the shoes themselves. Take a look at the Bliss Flat with the signature fabric. TOTALLY MUST-HAVES! -

Bliss Flat - $168

Memory Pad

Last Sunday, we went to MA for a little trip for our 2nd year in marriage getaway. We stayed at a bed and breakfast for two nights. I was really amazed by how much my soon-to-be 8 month-old son slept on the B&B's bed in the room we stayed in. The mattress is firm and our body didn't sink in at all. Anyway, we asked the owner what kind of mattress or pad she had put on that bed because it was the first time our son didn't fuss at all of those nights. In fact, he slept for a long time undisturbed. We found out it was the Memory Pad that brings wonder. We are getting one which I think will solve our bedtime problem since our mattress is getting soggy anyway. By the way, our son sleeps with us which normally might not be all that good for most parents. Anyhow, I love it that way and this pad is a must-have. It's available at Target - $99.99

My first Aéropostale online shopping

     For those who are not familiar with this store:

• Aéropostale (clothing), an apparel retailer based in the United States for teen males and females. Aeropostale is based on the aviation/vintage look.

• Aéropostale (aviation), formally la Compagnie générale aéropostale, a defunct French airmail company after which the clothing company took its name.

Last  Wednesday, I gave myself a little treat by shopping online. This Sunday is our 2nd wedding anniversary. We are going away for a couple of days in a bed and breakfast while hubby will be playing in a golf tournament. I haven't really bought myself anything from my own earnings so I decided to shop — where else? Shopping online for me is the last resort especially getting my hands full with a 7 month old son and no where near a walking distance shopping mall going out is just not possible. I was thinking of some names of stores where I think I could find my size and I remembered Aeropostale is a good one. I am between 0-2 for regular sizing here in the US and petite sizes aren't at all that accurate either. I said to myself, perhaps I could shop at the juniors section of the stores. I know Aeropostale is a good store for the young and the restless. No, I am not a teen anymore and yet I still look like one or maybe I only  feel that way, although I don't know if others would think so. (grins). Anyway, I did splurge on some clothing stuff I could use for our trip few days from now. I wanted comfort  and affordability as I do believe that you can look great  with clothes you got from sales and discounted items so along as you know how to bring out yourself. You don't have to wear a fortune to look like a million bucks. Well, we are not going to a party anyway. It's just for a 2-hour trip clothing basically. Here are the things I bought from my first Aeropostale shopping on the Internet. They will be here in 3 days as I picked out 3 day shipping hoping they will get here before Saturday. I love polo shirts and their ladies plaid shorts are a must-have.

Gift cards for babies

One of the best gifts to give to a baby shower or a baby's baptism and such is a gift card. Almost a year ago, my hubby's niece gave us a Pottery Barn Kids gift card on our anniversary. I was four months pregnant then and up until now that our baby is more than 7 months old, we still haven't used the gift card. Although, it is not for online purchases and that's the easiest way for me to shop. Now, we have to wait until we get the chance to go to their store. Anyway, I just hope it's still valid after a year which most gift cards don't really have an expiration. Just last Sunday, our son got a Babies "R" Us gift card on his baptism and I am glad to know it's valid for online shopping. I haven't decided yet what to get him though. I might have to wait until I really find out what else he could need that's really necessary.

Boat Donations

Helping others is one of the many virtues that each one of us should be reminded of all the time. We should know when we are supposed to extend our hands to others especially those who need them the  most.  May it be a simple act of giving someone hungry a piece of bread or a small amount of money to buy something to quench the thirst - it's already a fulfilling act of generosity. Don't you just love the feeling after helping someone? There are a lot of charities out there that which serve as channels so you can reach out to others who are in the midst of crisis. Boat Angel is a good example. It's where you can make Boat Donations. They accept old boats and yachts donations that are then converted to significant values to help charities around the globe. May they be for kids, adults, sickly or the elderly - it's for a really good cause. That's why, it makes a good venue for those who are giving up or are willing to sacrifice a fraction of their possession such as old boats in order to be utilized by non-profit organizations such as Boat Angel to help others in all charitable works. If you are ready to say, "I will Donate my Boat", this is the right time to do something — so those who are in need of your generosity are going to get the help they deserve. The following are just some of the potential receivers of the help from boat donations:

Churches, youth groups, building programs, cancer programs, aid and relief societies, educational programs , international relief programs, animal rescue foundations, diabetes research, lung cancer research Alzheimer research computer education, scholarships for both secondary university and graduate degree programs bible distribution and printing, book distribution and print educational material development, media production and distribution and vehicle giveaway programs.

 

 Help now and make others happy. It's the best thing you could do. For more information, visit boatangel.org.

World’s first full-coverage uplift

I am always attracted to Victoria's Secret. Just in time for me to get a new wardrobe of brassieres. I guess my size has lifted a little notch after having a baby. I found out that Victoria's has new full-coverage uplift bras and they look so cute. Although, you need to spend $40-48 each, it's worth it. They are lovely!
