Portraits by the Sea

Now that we are moving pretty soon, I am starting to visualize on what Portrait we can display on our living room and dining walls. I made a search online and stumble into Portraits by the Sea website who offers a photography studio specializing in beach portrait. I was think it’s a great idea to displaying my husband and I portrait. By the way, Portraits by the Sea also offer gift shops like souvenir T-shirts. You can also design your own holiday cards, wedding and graduation invitations.

Patio Furniture

Most patio furniture adds beauty and value to your house especially if you are planning to sell your house this springtime and summer. It looks much better in the backyard where you can sit down while enjoy the sunlight while spending time in your swimming pool as well as looking at your beautiful garden with lots of flowers and green grass during this summer.

Green for Interior Decorating

I love the beauty of nature, I love clean and green. If you go here in the house, you can tell how much I love plants. I remember my first few months here in this house, hubby and I bough different kinds of plants that I put in some certain places in the house like in the fireplace and dining area. But as the weather changes, I’ve noticed that some of plants become sickly that eventually died and only few left.

From then on, after that incident, I decided to just buy some artificial plants and trees which is much better because it doesn’t cost anything for maintenance like my other real plants left. The artificial trees also make the house bugs free that makes my husband happy because he’s been complaining about those small bugs flying around the house that lives on our indoor tree before it died.

By the way you can find variety of silk plants, trees and flowers for different occasions available at ArtificialPlantsandTrees.com.

“Artificial Plants and Trees” website offers different types of plants using a quality material that makes it look real. They designed it that way to so people can use it on wedding, parties, funeral and other special occasions and events.

By the way my favorite one that I voted among the 10 semi-finalist is the picture that I’ve attached here. I am not only judging on how it looks like but I also read the whole story behind the pictures.

I voted for this one for the sake of the two Children that. The family behind this semi finalist contestant have been forced out of from their home for some reason and then moved to a smaller house that’s really need to be fix but wasn’t able to due to financial reason. So I hope you guys would also vote for them to at least give those two children a better house to live in.

Looks Like Filipino Plants

This plant seems like a Filipino plants. If I am not mistaken, it is like what we have in my grandmothers house. I might be wrong too but it really looks similar. The only thing that's different is this one we put it on water like what Mac does in their office. Mac is my husband's co-worker who gave me this. She have a huge aquarium in their office and she put this kind of plants on it. But she also said that I can also put this plant on the pot with soil. But I tried to just put it in vase with water for a while until I get a soil.

And Bed In A Box is the one of the best place where you can get the best platform beds.

This is a Spoon and Fork Long Salad server that's made of Kamagong wood with mother of pearl dots design.

She told hubby that she have something for me and this is it... She also said she got this one because she knows I love to cook and some kitchen stuff. Thanks a lot for this Michelle!

Home Theater System

Little by little, hubby and I were able to do some updates in the house. We planted some plants outside, painted the house, we bought dining table and cabinet shelves and now we are thinking of getting home theater seats that we can put on the game room since it’s totally empty. I keep searching online for the best home theater-seating site. I can’t make up my mind because everything I have seen are quite above the budget we set. I continue to search hoping to find one that also offers high quality product at a reasonable price. As I continued searching, I finally found the home theater sconces that I want at same budget we have save for.

I would like to greet you all a Merry Merry Christmas and may you enjoy it with your family.

Different Ornaments

What else people do right after Thanksgiving? Of course it is about time to shop for Christmas. Malls and other department stores where too busy last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving because it was a big Black Friday sale. All stores in the malls were giving big discounts for all the shoppers.

And this are the ornaments we bought for our Christmas tree. So excited to finish decorating our first Christmas tree.

Stockings For Christmas

This are the 3 stockings we bought few days ago when we shopped for Christmas decorations. Red is mine, the green is for hubby and the gold is for Mama Nelda. Aren't they beautiful? This year would be my first Christmas here in the U.S. that's why I don't mind if we spend more on our Christmas tree and other Christmas decorations.

Table Setting On Thanksgiving Day

This is the setting of the big table in Mama Nelda's house. As you can see the table cloth is very beautiful with fall designs… I love it.

I also love the candle and the cutie candle holder. And wow the fruits really look great in the table as it matched the table cloth, candles, and table napkins. She's really good in almost everything she does. And not only that, she's also a great wife, mother, grandmother, and sister.

Ant Repellant

Do you know that cinnamon and ground pepper can be use as Ant Repellant? Yes it is, I tried it myself yesterday after hubby told me about it. For some reason black ants loves to go to my bamboo plant and I got tired of washing them out using water. So when I told me about the cinnamon thing, I tried it and it really works. All I did was find where the ants from and then sprinkled some cinnamon. I also tried to sprinkle some ground pepper to block their way. The spices are too hot for the ants to cross.

Spaloo

Are you tired of your toilet sitting? Humm why not try spaloo, a high-tech toilet seat that you will surely enjoy. My husband would love to have this seat as he has been complaining on our toilet seat.

I also love spaloo as it has luxurious heated seat, Adjustable Air Dyer, Fits on existing toilet with variable water temperature and water pressure plus a hydraulic soft close seat that made from germ resistant plastic. It also has superior cleaning using two water spraying nozzles.
Everyone can buy this toilet seat because it is so easy to install and designed to use by everyone in the family. And not only that, spaloo is a hand free cleaning that would be suitable to those busy people who have no more time to spend on cleaning.

Online Department Store

Most people shop online now because aside from you don’t need to drive and would save your gas, online stores give more discounts and sales compare to stores off line. It’s also convenient for some people who can’t drive like me. Just like today, I found out that our bathroom shower handle is broke and need to be replace. And since I can’t drive and since hubby is not here, I decided to buy from Trueshopping.co.uk.

Trueshopping is an online department stores offering a wide variety of products but specialize in bathroom and plumbing supplies. This is where I always buy Kitchen Accessories, Traveling bags,
Bathroom Accessories and other household stuff.

Trueshopping offer same day despatch on stock items ordered before 2pm. The website is also secure and a customer support telephone number is freely available.

Curtain Rods

Few weeks ago, we bought a linen set for our and it comes up with comforter, three small decorative pillows, one bed sheets, one bed skirt and two curtains. And they are all on the same color. We watched it all and then makeup the bed and all. But my problem is I don’t have a curtain rods. So I am currently searching online for a nice and pretty curtain rods that will match with our curtain.
I have found four stores online that sells curtain accessories and I like wroughtironhaven.com for they have different curtain rods and other curtain accessories.

It’s just a perfect timing because we will start decorating for Christmas this weekend.
