Summer is really the time to lounge outdoors. How refreshing it is to go outside and feel the breeze with the heat creeping in inside our houses. For those with gardens and lounge chairs, the perfect accents are outdoor cushions. I love that it comes with vibrant summer colors. What’s more is that it is currently on SALE. Regular price is $90 but it is now selling for only $45. 50% off! What’s more is that it comes with free shipping too.

This is what we call a great bargain.

I was sorting the laundry yesterday and I noticed that our current hampers are now insufficient to hold all our dirty clothes for the week. I figured out that we needed new ones to keep the clothes from overflowing. The current state looks so messy and disorganized.

I saw the perfect laundry hamper yesterday. It is both a hamper and laundry cart with pop-up handle, 4-inch wheels, and durable water resistant construction. It is perfect for city dwellers like us who rely on laundry shops. Since we have to bring our dirty clothes there, this hamper will make it easier because it has built-in wheels. All we have to do is fill it, zip and roll it to the laundry shops.

I was reading some tips on how to create more space for a cramped apartment or condo yesterday and I found something useful. The article said that you can use lighting effectively to create more depth and illusion of space. I think this is something we lack in our house. I bet it will add the much needed drama to our otherwise boring and small abode.

Good thing that I found a site that offers discount indoor lights. Something like this would look good in our living room and it only costs $26.

I even saw reasonably priced pendant lighting that would be perfect in our dining area. I’m sure M0rn1ng would love this as much as I do.

I’ve read in the news a couple of days ago that government employees are given 10,000 grand as additional bonus for this year. They said that this is one of the efforts that government has made to boost spending and the economy for the holiday season. I wonder if people would really spend their money or would hold on to it.

If I would have extra money, I would spend it on Designer Jewelry. These would be fashionable pieces that would suit my liking and would be unique. I have seen this nice website in the US advertising this type of products. Their customized jewelry are really fashionable and they fit your budget.

These types of jewelries can also be liquidated into cash when the need arise so I can say that it will be money well spent.

My friend recently complains about headaches and blurred vision. We advised her to visit her eye doctor and get new prescription glasses. Her eye grade may have changed. She visited her optometrist yesterday and confirmed that she needs to replace her eyeglasses. The problem is the cost. Her employment benefits do not include eye care or her health care do.

Good thing I chanced upon a nationally syndicated consumer advocate program called The Clark Howard Show. They recommended ZenniOptical for good quality but very affordable prescription eyewear. One can buy online and it only costs $8. That’s good news right? There also positive reviews about them on Fox news, TV and in the radio,

Now I just wonder how come that they sell their glasses cheaper than anybody else? I found out that they are a direct seller. They don’t have middlemen nor advertise on TV and broadsheet. This cuts down unnecessary cost but not the quality of their stuff.

I would let my friend know about this so that she can have her much needed replacement soon. It’s so hard to work if you don’t have the correct eyeglasses. I’m pretty sure she will thank me for this.

Having your own domain and hosting is great. I’ve tried blogging through Blogger and then Wordpress but nothing beats having your own website. For one, you can tweak it to your liking and you can earn extra bucks from it. I had my very own site 2 years ago and my friend Amore helped me set it up. So I didn’t have any problems choosing my own host. We chose Hostmonster and so far we are happy with it. There are no downtimes and it is relatively easy to set up.

I have friends who wanted to have their own site but I cannot recommend Amore any longer as she is no longer accepting any for hosting services. I always refer them to this great web hosting resource site. Webhostingrating.com has comprehensive consumer reviews for different web hosting services out there. This will make you equipped to choose the best hosting service available and well-suited for your needs.

September is the shopping month for me this year. I bought two heavy buys this month. One is our camera care of Amore and the other is our sofa bed. Pero infairness ha, these were good buys. The camera that Amore helped me buy is 50% cheaper had I bought it here. Same can be said on our sofa bed.

So never mind it these items will leave a dent on our pocket. What is important is that these fall on our “needs” category rather than “wants”. We also saved a lot because we bought them on sale so I have nothing to be guilty about. Hahaha!

We’re excited waiting for these to arrive. The camera will be sent here by the end of this month so we’ll probably have it either on the last week of October or on the first week of November. The sofa bed will be delivered next week. We are so excited to have them. Hehehe.

One of the worst things that could happen in our homes is pest infestation. These can be rodents, cockroaches or moths. Yes, you read it right…moths. These tiny creatures can invade ones pantry or kitchen. These are hard to get rid that even you’re gone through all of your cupboards and thrown away all open food containers and scrubbed down everything, they are still there. It is very icky and horrifying to find worms in your cabinets.

For moms like me who has a little child in the house, using chemicals to kills them is out of the question. The best way to rid of moth infestation is by using moth traps. You can place these inside the cupboards and it releases moth pheromone which attracts male moths. The super sticky moth trap glue then traps the moth preventing reproductions.

These is great news for people looking to solve their kitchen moth problems.

We have an existing sofa for our living room and I bought it when I was still single. It has suffered a lot of wear and tear from our pet cat who uses it as a scratching pole. Eventually, the upholstery gave up so we have to decide on whether to have it fixed or sell it.

I brought it out when we had our garage sale a few months back. I was just wondering if I can have it sold which I did. So for several months, our tiny living room is devoid of any sofa. M0rn1ng and I decided to buy a sofa bed as it is more useful and practical to us living in a tiny space. We scouted for one at the furniture stores in Libertad Pasay and the cheapest we could find is worth 8,500 bucks. So we decided to canvass some more.

Three weeks ago, M0rn1ng ecstatically told me that he found a good one at Market Market and it is at 30% off. He said that the price is slashed down to 6,000. We were so happy. We plan on going there together and buying it but we were so busy and we never got the chance until yesterday. But, we were both disappointed as it is now gone. We looked at the other furniture shops in that area but there are also very expensive.

We thought that we would go home empty handed then we remember that we have seen a good style at MOA and it is at 7,000 bucks. We thought that the price will be good enough so off we went. We were so happy to see that they are on sale too and the sofa bed that we liked was only selling at 5,000 bucks. ? Our enthusiasm was put off when we learned that all stocks were already sold.

But the staff there told us that we can avail of the sale price if we pay now and have it made to order. It might take a week or two but who cares? As long as the price is right then we would go for it.

So we went home happy last night. The quest for the perfect sofa bed to grace our living room that started months back is officially over. I will post a picture as soon as it is delivered. Stay tuned!

My sister is asking me for gift suggestions as they will be visiting their officemate who recently gave birth. I told her to give a nappy cake. We can make one for her and she and her other team mates can share with the gift. She thought it would be a nice idea. The other suggestions are gift baskets.

Then I hear her say, what’s that? I told her that gift baskets usually contain food items, wines or other stuff depending on the theme. It can be personalized so that it will create memorable and special moments. They have their own unique and beautiful presentation.

I remember seeing one of those great looking gift baskets at gifttree.com. It accepts Paypal and other major credit cards. I hope that my sister and her team mates will find the perfect gift to give.
