Girl's Bestfriend

Every woman I know loves to accessorize. Whether it's the real thing, vintage or costume jewelry, accessories are the best way to upgrade your look whatever it is that you're wearing.

Let me share with you my favorite jewelry shop, Holsted Jewelers. They have an amazing collection of all kinds of jewelry from designer inspired to total looks, to personalized to vintage, to bridal gifts and many more. Their diamonds may not be real but the designs are exquisite it's like wearing the real thing.

Cocktail rings are the rage these days and here are the ones that I'm putting on my wishlist.



I am also loving these cheap but very fab charms for bracelets or necklaces.


Lastly, some more items that caught my eye under the Vintage Look category.


Holsted Jewelers have been providing exclusively designed jewelries, gifts and accessories since 1971. If you are shopping for gifts or treating yourself, their affordable jewelry is enough to make someone smile today.

Twilight Character









Rosalie

Beautiful and vicious, many people admire you or fear you. You tend to be a little self-centered, but hey, it IS all about you right?

Nice! Finally, an answer that I can be proud of mwahahahaha. Seriously, I do feel like I'm vain and self-centered when I was single. But once you become a mother, there's just no way that you can think of yourself before your child. So you could say I've grown up a lot. Still vain, though. Some things are hard to change.

Princess Sandy

It's been awhile since I posted photos of my little princess here. She's so big now that I can't help but miss her small feet and chubby hands. Not to mention that her hair smells so bad now after playing for hours. It's hard to decide which is the best age because I kept saying she's getting better and more adorable every month. I wish she won't grow too fast though. Or else, I really have to start planning for baby #2!

Gold Investment

With the continuous fall of dollar, financial experts are suggesting to look into investing in silver. The world demand for silver exceeds annual production. Above ground stockpiles of gold bullion are diminishing rapidly and now that the U.S. government is a precious metal buyer, it is now a great investment vehicle. You can purchase silver, gold or other precious metals through Monex Deposit Company (MCD). You can have it delivered immediately or arranged for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank. The potential investor should always check the reputation of the selling firm and its record for delivering the merchandise as promised. Monex Precious Metals has a large and dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs.

How Many of Your Needs Are Being Met?

Want to feel bad about yourself? Then you should take this test below. Apparently, none of my needs are being met even if I honestly feel like I'm doing okay. I did enjoy it, don't get me wrong. It's not everyday that you get an advice from Oprah you know. Try it. I want to see how your results might differ from mine.




None of Your Needs Are Being Met



Needs not being met: Physiological, love, safety, esteem, and self-actualization needs



While it may seem surprising to you, none of your core needs are being met.

You are not getting enough fuel to keep you going, and it's hindering every aspect of your life.



Go back to square one. Work on getting enough rest, eating right, and even exercising.

To be happy and fulfilled, your physical needs like food and sleep need to be taken care of.

One Satisfied Client

I just received the final payment for a design job that I finished recently. The client was very happy with the new design and appreciative on the way I coded the page. The pay isn't much if you consider how long it took me to convert the page. I'm still working my way with valid xhtml/css so everything is still new but equally exciting. It feels so good whenever I make my clients happy. I love my job and I treat each design project as if it's mine. My favorite projects are website makeovers because they are usually so outdated and I have this need to help them see that there's so much that they can do with their web sites. So now, when they say that they are attracting more customers, their search engine placements are better or simply love the new look, I feel that I made a difference and therefore, consider myself a success.
