Casa n' Spa

This was my dream car for a long, long time – but i guess as you grow older – you kinda stay away from anything pink – else people might think you wanna hang on to your youth too much – hahah!!  But yes ! i’m looking for a used car to ferry my kids to school.  I’m not looking for an expensive car -  but the car definitely has to be in good working condition and small – because gas here is very expensive.  I figured it shouldn’t cost too much to insure a used car – unlike a new car – I think you need to insure for collision too.   So if i buy a used car at a reasonable price and insure it for a few hundred dollars a year that would be ideal – and i don’t have to worry about waiting for the spouse to ferry us around.  Looking online on carinsurancelist.com to get a quote was what was recommended by another friend – that way I can kinda get a price range – and then speak with someone about it. So yes! wish me luck – as soon as I get my car insurance – i’m getting a car – albeit a used one.

I haven’t bought a Swatch watch for so long – 10 yrs to be exact – i used to love them and was crazy over them – so while doing some muscle milk reviews and the spouse showed me some that was on sale online – i couldn’t helped but wanna get them.  But guess what ?  you can’t buy them online if you are in Canada – they have e-stores for USA and delivers to USA but not to Canada!!!  why??  oh why..???   Easter is round the corner and I wanted to get the below for my daughter – but now i guess it has to wait till we are next in Toronto – or at the airport with a Swatch counter. The best thing about Swatch watches are they are not too, too expensive and anyone can afford one – gotta love that!

Most people in the corporate world wants some stylish looking card holder but my g/f who works for some cross country moving companies is quite different and recommended this place that carries some really cute stuff.   Can trendy woman carry cute stuff..??  ABSOLUTELY !!

I’m sure at one time or another.. you use those disposable sleeves when you get your coffee or tea right..? i do .. in fact on a everyday basis.   And truth be told .. i don’t like it .. because it’s not environmentally friendly. Unlike these medical equipment that my g/f was looking at for her husband’s office., you see he is a doctor and needs stuff like that all the time.

Anyhow, when I saw these cute alternative .. little flower coffee cozy .. i felt i needed to say it with everyone.   So super cute right..?This pretty pink coffee cup cozy is hand knit with a gorgeous cable stitch, and features a pair of pretty handmade, black felt flowers. An eco-friendly alternative to disposable paper sleeves.

You know the people on Etsy .. are really talented ppl and one cannot help but admire and salute them for being so creative.  Well, they are not only creative.. but they sure make this mama look trendy without breaking the bank and not having to give up my money for my fat burners when i buy something from there.  These ppl do take pride in what they do.. and they are awfully polite too.. when you buy something from them.

Take for example this love laptop sleeve, one can get a generic one made of vinyl or hard plastic for $45 but why should i pay for a generic thing.. when i can buy one that i like and does its work right..?? These sleeves are available in different sizes to fit your needs.  It also has thick padding and heavy weight zipper with extended pull, wash and dirt resistant nylon strap.  It’s also roomy enough to hold the cables and other stuff.  Check them out at Etsy and look for dahlia.   Yes.. i’m sure you are wondering how much..?? i told you this trendy mama loves a good buy.. and this awesome looking laptop sleeve only cost $42.99 and shipping to Canada is only $10 .. not a bad deal at all.

Winter is really long here.  The cold last about 6 months.. in fact right now.. it’s already cold.  The sun may be out .. but it is darn cold i tell yer.  So how do people keep fit over here..  i hear my friends from home asked all the time.  Well.. for me.. i would never want to brave the weather, no way ..!! thank you very much.  A good exercising machine for the whole family.. is a must and i hear the ellipticals carries some of the best indoor exercising machines. So you now know .. how we keep fit during the winter.. my secret is out.

I cannot understand why some people bring their notebook or laptop with them for Gym.  Even if they were put in a locker, you know that you stand a chance to get it stolen from you right..??  Today at the Gym.. some woman who is also a member lost her Toshiba Satellite , boy!! was she upset..!!  i would be too lah..! if i were her.  So lesson to be learned her.. DO NOT BRING YOUR LAPPIE for gym or swimming..!!  common sense right..??

The trendy woman or rather the unsloppy wives not only takes care of themselves.. but they also have one of the latest gadget.  One do not need to get the latest or the newest.. but if you look and wait long enough.. you get the before model which is still very stylish for a lot less price.  Unlocked cell phones are such an “in” thing these days.. just because you can use other providers and use it in any country you are on vacation.  And the unsloppy wives definitely know all about the latest in cell phones.
