A few of us girls got together and had high tea at a local restaurant in town – because they had invited a special guest who plays the guitar – classical guitar actually – and we thought it would be a nice Saturday afternoon where we can sit and chat and of course relax. You can also request for songs on the guitar from the musician – who happened to be someone that we were quite thrilled to have – because we’ve heard him play during the Seafest this year. Now after listening to him play – we all wished we could play like him as well. Classical guitar can be so calming – don’t you think but if one really wanted to pick up guitar lessons – you can do so on the web now – pretty awesome if you ask me. The musician did some classical rock as well and i love his finger style – so amazing! Actually we are all so inspired by the afternoon tea with classical music – I think some of us – might just pick up some songs.
Shopping with the girlfriends are the one of the best things I loved to do during the weekends, not only do I get to buy really good things and get good bargains – we also get to sit and have high tea together and chat and relax. I love our high tea sessions because my girlfriends are full of stories about how they make extra money and where they can get the best deals in just about everything. I learned all about morgan silver dollars from one of my best friends from these weekend shopping and high tea sessions. I loved that even though we all come from a small town – we are so up to date in investments and getting the best deals and about wellness. Many of us buy silver and gold for a lifetime investment – I remembered my grandparents buying them too when we were younger and they swear by them. With interest rates so low in the bank – it does make sense to invest in silver and gold – and yes – I know of many of my friends doing the same thing. I always come home after my shopping trips with my girlfriends with all kinds of information for the spouse.
Getting married is a wonderful thing – but it also cost a lot of money for some people. Some people choose to have a huge wedding – like most of us Asian do but some choose to have simple ones – with very close friends and family. My mother used to say that beauty has a price and it’s true – even the lotions that we put on our faces needs to be bought and paid for. Some of us choose to use branded stuff like Lancome – while others uses Body Shop products and feel very proud of it. But one thing I know for sure is one should only spend within their limit and not do anything that will get them into debt – especially not a wedding. I have no problem with people taking up a payday advance for emergencies or if they needed to put food on the table – or if a child took ill suddenly or if they needed to travel somewhere because a love one is ill. But if you are planning to get married – then it’s a lifetime commitment that should start with a debt. A beautiful wedding need not means lots of money.
We went to visit a relative who was in one of those bipolar rehab treatment centers to give her the support she needed – so she didn’t feel like we left her there – and not care for her. But I didn’t want to be overly dressed nor under dressed – because one have to be careful – not to make her feel bad or anything at all – it’s not about us – it’s about her. So I opted to dress casually like the above picture – and it went pretty well. I’m just glad that she is getting the help she needs – and showing the support that she needed – after all she is family and what are families for right? Some people think that without proper treatment – they expect the other person to get well – out of sheer determination – but you and I know it’s not true – something like that needs professional help and there shouldn’t be any shame in getting one. It takes a braver person to admit that you need help.
So I was told by my mom to brush my hair daily – or at least 100 times before I go to bed – so that my hair will look shiny the next day and to keep my hair healthy. I was doing it for the longest time – only to find out that it is not true. you see – brushing one’s hair pulls hair out of their follicles and thus – it will weaken the hair strands – so instead of having a headful of shiny hair – i may loose a lot of hair if I continue. So ladies – check your facts – before you listen to your mom’s old wives tales – but I’m sure she meant well.
So I decided to go for another reflexology session hoping I can get some kind of good feeling from it and that my health can be improved – I would also like to try out that t-zone vibration machine as well and even though it is some money to be spent – it’s nothing compared to the gaming computers that the spouse was thinking of upgrading for himself this month. So i felt that my reflexology sessions and my t-zone vibration course was reasonably priced and since it was for health reasons – well – it should be done. But alas, the night I went home – I didn’t feel good at all – in fact, I felt a little antsy – which wasn’t the kind of feeling I was hoping for – darn! So the spouse joked that he could buy a better gaming computer? since I won’t be spending money on a course for the reflexology. Oh well – the process was good – in fact it was so comfy I fell asleep – and was totally relax – but the bloated feeling and the weird leg feeling – so heavy – just didn’t do it for me – so for now – I’ll not do the reflexology in Canada and wait to get home to Asia.
Looking beautiful means taking care of your wellness too – staying healthy – eating well – so this summer I’ve decided that I’m going to enjoy the sun as much as I can. Besides going to museum and the art gallery – I also met up with my insurance agent in the golf club for some life insurance quotes for me – the spouse and the kid. Golfing is very therapeutic – and what better way then to go and have a chat with your life insurance agent and buddy while enjoying a game of golf and some lovely ice tea with a sprig of mint. Of course, I had to buy some new summer wear – as you can see here – from my favorite store. But yes – I took care of the important stuff first this summer – and got all my life insurance looked into and making sure that we are taken care of first in that area before spending money on shopping. One can get carried away – yer know – but committed to being beautiful means taking care of the your wellness too – and what better way to start the summer with making sure that your life insurance is all taken care of for the rest of the year.
Yes! we are going on a trip soon – in fact sooner than you think and time does goes by really fast and when you have a spouse who have no plans – you know you have to have a to-do list. Call it paranoia or whatever name you want – I like to be prepared – for example I need to have a breakdown service number to call and know what to do in case our RV breaks down or if one of us get sick. Which hospital can we go to and making sure that we have all our health insurance in order. Plus, I also need a list of things we have to remember to bring and also traveling medication – for tummy aches, diarrhea and hives etc. Yes ! unless I have my to-do list all done – I’m not going anywhere.
I never used to be a coupon girl – but ever since coming to Canada and watching this amazing tv show - a real show – about how this woman saved so much money on her groceries – it just inspired me to look out for coupons and discount whenever I think of buying anything especially big items. So if you are looking to buy something from Sears – here are some sears coupons for everyone ! We bought our bed frame – our washing machine and dryer from Sears – with discount coupons and we did save a lot of money – I tell you! a front loading washing machine and dryer for less than $1000! woohoo! very good deal indeed! Love coupons and any kind of discount I can find!
So I saw this deal on Deal Find – and at $19 you get a 45 minutes slimming body wrap – but wait a minute there is more – you also get a 10 minutes t-zone vibration body firming sessions for 4 times and a full body airbrush tan. Wow!! how can I resist this deal! I quickly booked a session for myself and my friends! woohoo! best way to try something out is their trail version – and if you like it – you can check out what they have to offer you and if you don’t like it – it’s just $19 already paid for. Awesome as a gift too!
