Sweet thoughts and kind words can easily bring cheer to someone’s day. Remember someone’s special day today. Spread some joy on someone’s birthday, engagement, wedding or anniversary.   Greet the people you care for on special occasions like Valentine’s Day, Christmas and New Year.

If someone dear to you is celebrating his or her birthday soon, then it’s a perfect time to send one of these happy birthday cards.  There are so many ways to say happy birthday.  Send heartwarming notes or inject some fun and humor into it.  It doesn’t matter how you say it as long as the message comes from the heart.

Movie Time :: It’s All About The Women

Filed under: Movies — Tags: , — rachel @ 10:47 pm

I recently watched the movie, It’s All About The Women, starring Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Missing, Jada Pinkett Smith and Candice Bergen.

The story circles around four friends who find strength and comfort with another through life’s craziest and most difficult life situations.  I really enjoyed this movie.  In this life, true friends can help you rise over the most trying times.

Serving Wine of the Month

Special occasions such as baptismal, birthdays, weddings and anniversaries call for special celebration.  It’s rewarding to share special moments with the people dear to you.  A celebration will not be complete without good food and refreshing drinks.  You can make an occasion more memorable by serving your guests wine of the month.   Give your guests reason to remember the event by hosting a wonderful party.

Free Wordpress Templates

Filed under: Info Corner, blogging — Tags: — rachel @ 9:42 pm

I have seen many beautiful wordpress themes online but they are often expensive.  In fact, some wordpress themes will cost you a hefty $60 to $90 each.  If you ask me, that’s too much money to spend on your blog theme.

Don’t worry, there’s still a way to make your wordpress blog look beautiful.  You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make your site look fabulous.  You can simply check out free templates online. These premium wordpress themes are beautiful and creative. You can choose from a wide array of styles, colors, themes and other interesting extra features.

Ash Wednesday means repentance but I will not ask you to list down the things that you feel you have to ask forgiveness for.

If you were asked to recall the things that you do, what were the things that you think should be improved and worked on for you to be a better person?

  • Exercise more patience.
  • Learn not to sweat out the small things in life.
  • Learn to take more risks and not be afraid of change.
  • Be more assertive.
  • Learn to prioritize more important things in life.
  • To avoid procrastinating.
  • Plan more for the future and be less impulsive.
  • Be more positive.

Handwritten Letters

Filed under: Info Corner — Tags: , — rachel @ 10:18 pm

I am fond of buying different kinds of stationery. I particularly like stationery and envelopes with printed designs.  There was even a time when my mom gave me several sets of personalized stationery. I kept a few of those sheets as souvenir.  In this modern time of electronic mail, I still love receiving and giving out hand written letters. I use stickers for my address. I would love to get a custom rubber stamp with my name and address on it.  It would be very handy when I’m writing letters.

Beautify Your Bathroom

Filed under: Home, Info Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 9:22 pm

Most bathrooms are often comprised of limited space.  Despite the small area, there are creative ways on how to make the most of the given space.  You can make a bathroom comfortable and stylish at the same time. Focus on adding various bathroom accessories to beautify your bathroom.  Here are some bathroom accessories that you might like to consider:

  • Decorative Frame - Add a touch of art to your bathroom by placing a decorative frame on the wall.
  • Tile Accents - Spice up ordinary tiles with decorative tile accents.
  • Shower Curtain - Choose a shower curtain with a lovely design that compliments the bathroom surroundings.
  • Woven baskets - Use woven baskets to keep extra bath and hand towels or bathroom supplies like shampoo, soap, lotion and more. Woven baskets are functional and at the same time serve as nice accents.
  • Mirror - Place a lovely vanity mirror in your bathroom. Choose from traditional, modern or ornate mirrors.
  • Bathroom Furniture - Add bathroom cabinets for storage of extra bathroom supplies.
  • Pots/Vases - Put potted plants or a vase of flowers on the bathroom counter top.
  • Bathroom Lighting- Choose from a wide variety of bathroom lighting.  There are classic and contemporary ones.
