Oooppsss! Here I am!

Ahoj! I’m back after quite a time, what with the vacation mentality I got after a holiday break I had with the family back in PH. I didn’t realize, even here in my blog, I was still vacationing! Shhhh… I have to tell you also that I really had to adjust being a mom to two small youngsters, who were at that time, a seven-month-old and a three-year old. And so I allowed this blog to “hibernate”.

Hopefully, I’m now bouncing back for good. However, when I’d be missing I seek your understanding. The children are now more demanding of my time, and more active, I should be more alert in watching them too, that they might be safe at all times, and protected against untoward incidents.  Simbako!

Investing in gold

With the uncertainty that employment brings, it is advisable to invest hard-earned money where it will grow.  Most people buy properties being the famous among investments; others put their money in stocks, while there are others who buy gold bars, jewelries or coins.   

Among the three, gold is the easiest to invest in coz it needs little money.  There are many OFW’s (Overseas Filipino Workers) wives who spend their money buying gold jewelry, not only for their beauty but also because of these pretty accessories rise in value as time passes by.   

If you check out the United States Gold Bureau website, you will surely be encouraged to invest in gold.  There’s no better time to start investing (especially in gold) than NOW!

Lamps of all sorts

Table lamps, desk lamps, floor lamps… I wonder which kind of lamp I should rub for a genie to appear before me.  I’ve got several wishes to make, not only three and my first wish is that a genie would grant my wish.haha

I was just overwhelmed with the lamps I saw this morning while browsing the net; colorful, modern, stylish… can I have them all?  There’s even a cute night light in a shell design. Lamps are great accessories for the room to create an ambience.  It can brighten up a room, it can set a romantic mood, it can even make set you into a dancing mood too (yeah those bright, sparkling dancing lights!).  If you want to change the feel of your room, especially at night, get a new lamp!

Home accessories: blinds

Have you always been a curtain user? Have a look at these two images, and maybe you’d consider using blinds in your home after seeing them:

Here’s the first one, a 1 inch wood blind (Bali Northern Heights) that comes with natural beauty and energy efficiency. The 1 inch slat size blinds are more traditional and offers design flexibility.  They’re also available with many selection of beautiful stains, paint and decorative choices.

 The second one is the Bali Vertical Vinyl Acadia New Woodlook alike.  It mades of vinly but looks like real wood!

 So what can you say about those blinds?  They’re pretty yeah?

A harmful treatment

Teenagers may be not so cautious in just using or taking anything for personal care or beauty, even if this may not be good for their health. For this reason, some are affected by diseases caused by beauty products or derma treatments which are harmful.

In their desire to look their best – thus avoid any blemishes or facial disturbance -  these youngsters, without their knowledge, may already be suffering injuiries caused by accutane which is a form of vitamin A used  for the treatment of severe acne. Thank God, more parents now are aware that health should not be compromised, and they fight for tbeir right. For them, the services of O’Hanlon, McCollum & Demerath may be hired for an Accutane lawsuit. They provide free consultation.

Fare hikes?

The subject of MRT and LRT fare hikes is in the news these days. Most of the commuters are of course opposed to this, and it is understandable: It adds to the parents’ woes as this will be extra expense for the children who are sent to school; for the market vendors, this will make goods more expensive as it will add to the cost of transporting or the freight and handling; for businessmen, this will be additional overhead expense; and so more and more reasons come up. However on the other hand, if we take the side of government, which has also it’s reason for initiating such hike, one of which is to provide better service to the commuters, another is to improve the equipments or to push through other needed improvements, should we not consider them?

On children and veggies

Children are usually very choosy with regards to food, and parents, especially mommies find a hard time letting them eat, especially vegetables. It depends of course on many other factors, but one effective way is to try to entice them by rewarding them with something that interests them. It could be a visit to the zoo, or a treat at a favorite fastfood chain, or just a burger, or whatever a particular child likes. Mommies, it’s really a challenge to your imagination… or to your power of persuasion. 

Investing for your child’s future

I have known of many parents, at least those who can afford, who even while their children are still young, put in some kind of investment for them. The idea of investing in gold coin or gold bullion could be entertained, as gold is an ideal investment. It surely appreciates with time, and it preserves one’s wealth and purchasing power. People are attracted by it for its beauty and magic. Another investment opportunity is silver or platinum, which metals are also handled by the United States Gold Bureau. Investing in precious metals is a safe and better way to invest, especially as they are handled by the competent and dedicated professionals of the bureau.
