Hair Care and Hair Style with Feather Hair Extensions

Fixing your hair is part of good grooming. Do you have a frizzy hair? Whew, what would you do? There is no easy short cut to tame damage and frizzy hair. It needs more time or else you are doomed to a bad hair day. Have you ever watch the TV show Charmed? You probably know her. Alyssa Milano made a commercial about shampoo which if it lather too much, it can damaged the hair since it is overloaded with moisturizing products. Choosing sulfate-free shampoo is a better option to choose from. I just love that commercial.

How do we avoid frizzy hair? Accordingly, we should do a hot-oil treatment to prevent frizz and by doing so; it will strengthen the hair cuticle. Once a week is good enough to give our hair the moisture it needs. Most of us love hot shower right? My routine would end by rinsing my hair with a cold water. It is good for the hair because it helps soften my hair.  Doing so will seal the hair cuticle.

Now, the flatiron and curling iron works miracle but, make sure to use a heat tamer spray before you blow dry or style your hair. The curling iron will definitely make a sexy curl if you hold one section of your hair for ten seconds or less. Try it!

When you are all set for the day, add a little fun to make your hair glorious. Check out the feather extensions in Fine Featherheads Website. They are remarkable! You can wear the feather extensions to make your hair radiant and pretty just like the photos above. Be it formal or casual, you will always find a feather extension that is appropriate for your activity. Whether you are attending a party, a girl's night out or a casual day out with family, feather hair extensions are great hair accessories.

Splurging the Patio with Solar Lanterns

When you own a big space either front or back yard, all you could think about is splurging it into a functional area right? How would you like to have a backyard oasis? I bet you dreamed about it! To have a beautiful lawn that has the curb appeal in the neighborhood is what we always wanted to have. Like you, I wanted to have a manicured lawn too with booming flowers. A good size garden space and a gazebo in the backyard where I can enjoy my garden oasis would be nice. To have a beautiful garden needs time, planning and love of gardening. It should be well taken care off and it needs someone who has the passion to make it an awesome yard. If you have that passion then, start splurging your patio project now.

I am heading to midnight Black Friday shopping in an hour to buy home accessories and garden decors. I am done checking and comparing prices of solar lanterns online and I found a favorite solar lantern. All I hope is to find it in store. I wanted to buy a solar lantern because it is very cost effective and safe to leave in the garden.

My husband and I spent time in the patio especially when the weather is nice and cool. The scented wax candles add the ambiance but, when it is too breezy, the flame will be off before we could cover it good. To avoid the hassle, a friend told me that I should check on flameless candles. The product is battery operated and I think it is a perfect garden accessory.

I found a Website that has all these gorgeous and elegant outdoor accessories. You should check out batteryoperatedcandles.net to see their battery operated candles and lanterns. The picture above is an elegant hanging lantern which I really like to have in the patio. If you are looking for home and garden accessories, Christmas decors as well as ornaments, this company has it all. Go and check it out. I am sure you will love their products as much as I did.

10 Beautiful Bathroom Inspiration/Designs

A while ago, I was browsing photos on the web and trying to find inspiration for bathroom make over. One year after we moved to our new home, I have issues regarding the paint color, accessories and the size of the master bathroom. There is no solution regarding the size unless we knock the walls and extend. That is not the option at the moment. Stretching the dollar for a soothing and refreshing bathroom oasis is attainable by selecting the right size vanity and accessories; light fixtures; beautiful tile patters; nice bathroom countertops; and the paint colors. From the many hours of watching HGTV, those tips have grown on me. Here are 10 beautiful bathroom inspiration and some of the must-try DIY's project that I have in mind:

Bathroom Paint Color

The paint color is a powerful design tool and it's easy on the budget. It can make the room calm, dramatic, soothing, cheerful and comfortable. I must admit, we have a boring bathroom in the master's bedroom. It has outdated shower area with lavender and white colors; has old lighting fixture, tiny and has a pedestal sink which I really do not like at all. As I said, we have a boring bathroom maybe because of the white paint around it. Thank goodness that paint companies offer paint collection which is truly helpful. I went ahead and check Lowe's and Home Depot, they got it on display so; creating a cohesive color palette is now easy.

Check these bathrooms and tell me, do you like the colors? Which is your favorite?

Bathroom Light Fixtures

A well-lighted room is important for it creates the comfort and style. Lighting fixtures surely improve and enhance the efficiency and design of the bathroom. Adding a functional and fashionable lighting fixture will definitely make the bathroom relaxing and have that soothing ambiance in it. Check all the photos in this post. Which lighting fixture would you choose?

Bathroom Backsplash

Backsplash truly helps create a spa-like bathroom ambiance. Let me ask you, would you like a mosaic tile? Well, go ahead and check out these bathrooms. You may find the inspiration. Backsplash is available in many shapes, colors, and styles. The selection is endless but, the backsplash below is my best preference. The clean white and black in horizontal pattern create elegance.

The photo below is simple but has the calm ambiance to it. It has double sinks which are great to have in the master's bathroom.

This is a powder room with bold green colors. Do you like it?

Now, check out this bathroom. This is such a spa-like comfort isn't it? Do you like the lighting fixture? How about the color? Would you change anything in this room? I wouldn't change a thing but, I can add a huge rain shower in the shower room. What a relaxing space this is.

I love the tiles in the photo below but, I am not a fan of the light fixture. We had that in my FIL's old house. It is hard to clean that's why.

Take note that all photos here are not mine. Anyway, last but not the least, check the photo below and take a look at the shower area. The big rain shower is a must have if we renovate the bathroom. I love that! The backsplash is nice but, I will pick a different color. I am not a big fan of the blue lighting fixture on the vanity area either. If you will change something in this room, what would it be?

I'm glad to see the design and style of these bathrooms. I now have an inspiration on what to do and what accessories to add to make our bathroom functional, comfortable and relaxing to use. Until next and thanks for stopping by.

Solar Energy Panels

It is a little chilly today but, it did not stop me from swimming in the pool. A friend invited me to come for lunch and since hubby and I are having a lazy Sunday, we accepted the invitation. I enjoyed swimming the heated water and I stayed for about two hours. They have installed solar pool heating which provides warmth during cool season. Their electric bills are lower since they installed it. It is very cost-effective. My husband is not comfortable with low “pool water” temperature but, he loves swimming in a heated pool.

Solar works year round in southern climates and extends the season in northern climates. My friend recommended that we should have Solar Energy Panels at home. She pointed out two reasons: good savings and best for the environment. It is the cleanest, safest and quietest source of energy. We keep the idea open because we really wanted to have a solar hot water too. Using the free energy from the sun, it will definitely reduce our utility bill. If you support clean energy then, have an expert install solar energy panels in your home. Solar power reduces the amount of greenhouse gasses therefore, it is good for the environment.

Which Way to go From Magic Kingdom Parking Lot

Are you planning to visit Orlando and stay in the Disney World hotels or resorts? Transportation to Disney is not a problem. Disney buses are free and they pick you up from your hotel. When you stay in the resorts such as Wilderness Lodge, Swan and Dolphin hotels, Yacht Clubs and more, you can either choose Disney buses, Monorail or Ferry Boat. The picture below is a Disney tram which you will take from Disney parking lot to Disney parks.

Let's say you drive your car and park at Magic Kingdom parking lot. Remember to take note of where your car is park. There are two areas to remember: VILLAINS or HEROES. Remember the character and the number. I saw people taking pictures of the "character and number" which are really a good idea. Don't take for granted this tiny detail because if you do, it could ruin your day looking for your car in the humongous parking lot.
 
Take the Disney Tram, and it will drop you off to Ticket Area where the monorail and ferry boat transportation's are located. Once you are there, decide which park you want to go: Magic Kingdom, Epcot or Hollywood Studious. If you want to go to Hollywood Studios, take the bus. If you want to go to Epcot take this monorail and it will take you to Epcot.

If you want to go to Magic Kingdom park, you can take this monorail which is faster.

You can take this ferry boat also and it takes you to magic Kingdom too. If you don't want to get in the park and wanted a boat ride only, take this ferry boat ride to Magic kingdom and from there, find another ferry boat that will take you to Epcot. Oh, its fun! Yep, it's free! If you are not rushing with your time, I recommend that you take the boat ride which is truly fun especially at sunset.

Musical Instrument Add-Ons

I am not really keen about true vibrato for telecaster because I don't pay attention to the added accessories of any musical instruments. Yet, I know that having a true vibrato will certainly enhance the sound of musical instrument. Add-ons such as the true vibrato might be expensive but for the band or for those who do gigs all the time, this gadget is worth buying for.

Last Friday, we went to a neighborhood restaurant in Cape Canaveral and they have a live band that started playing at 6 PM. I do remember now that the guitarist has some gadgets on his guitar. For all I know, it could be a bigsby b5 and he did play great. He even had a solo just plucking and strumming his guitar and everyone in the bar just appreciate the sound he made. Well, the gadget must be it!

The Royal Baby of Kate and William

Have you seen the news today? The world is anxiously waiting to see the first glimpse of the Royal Baby of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. What a wonderful blessing for Kate and William. The Royal Prince is 8.6 lbs. and here he is, sleeping peacefully. Unmindful that the whole world is happy to see him for the first time. What a beautiful baby who is born with a golden spoon.

The proud parents, Kate and William waving to the crowd as they came out from St. Mary's Hospital.

Remember this photo? June of 1982, weighing 7 lbs and 1.5 ounces, baby William was introduced to the world as well.

One thing that I noticed though, Kate and Princess Diana are both beautiful and both are wearing polka dots. Is that a tradition in the family?

The Bankruptcy Option

Most of us probably worry of what tomorrow holds for us and our beloved family. It is but normal to have that feeling especially when work is unstable. What would you do? Just the other day, we were driving the neighborhood and scouting for rental property along the beach. There were quite a few condo unit with "for sale" sign. My thoughts wandered on the former owners on those properties. There were short sales and in most cases, I knew that the option was there to avoid bankruptcy.

"A big part of financial freedom 

is having your heart and mind free 
from worry about the what-ifs of life."

So far, to avoid having to deal with bad credit history, short sale is a great option but, if there is no other means, let it go and stop worrying. If bankruptcy is the last option there is so; be it. If you live in North Carolina, check the nc bankruptcy laws in your state. Do that as well if you live in other states. Start a new life and learn to live according to your means. You will not be financially ruin for life if you act now. I know two families who filed bankruptcy and after 5 years, they are still together, got their jobs, got their house and they are happy. It might work for you too.

Nutrix Royal Body by Lancome

Here is another good stuff that I would like you to check out. Nutrix Royal Body is a product by Lancome which truly makes the skin silky soft and the scent is not over powering. I have dry skin especially at winter time and found this product by chance. It was on sale at that time and bought it on impulse (guilty). No regret because the scent is fresh and truly a great skin moisturizer. I am not compensated on this post and did not receive a free product. This is $38 right now but, I bought it for only $12 plus a gift set. Good deal huh?

After shower, it instantly relieve uncomfortable tightness and will smooth the roughness of the skin caused by extreme dehydration.

Accessories for the Office

For the last few days, I have been searching online regarding paint color combination for the office. When we bought this house, the color of the office is white and because I wanted to play with colors, I go for a bold one. Not really looking for solid red but, on the shade of green. Hubby and I checked on the green and found my color. When we applied the color on the wall, it turned out yellow. We wondered if the lady in-charge got it wrong but, since we knew that the actual result varies, we left the color as it is. I am so ready to get rid of it and it's been a year now. I am in the process of finding the right shade (again) plus searching for a Canvas Printing to accessorize the room too.

Anyway, I found a great selection of canvas art work and planning to send a few of them back home. I never tried sending Shipping Containers but, I got the idea of sending products from the USA too. My house back home is bare inside and I wanted to accessorize it. Sending a customized Metal Fabrication like for the kitchen shelves also comes into mind.
