You listen to both intuition and reason.

What Should Your Birthstone Really Be?

NEW HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA

The Author of this post is Velma Baird

I started watching a new teenage television drama with directtv on the CW. Yes, I fell for another one, and this time it is a lot different than the “O.C.”, but then again it isn’t that different at all. Teenage love quarrels, crazy parents (Maurissa’s Mom is even in this one and hooking up with another teenage boy). Except this teenage high school drama is set in a small town in Virginia with a long history of vampires. Usually, I don’t fall into vampire shows, but this one I have ended up really liking. Over the last couple of months they have played season one and season two. I have really enjoyed it. I definitely caught most of the episodes when I was home for break. Season three starts in January. I will definitely be watching it. I hope that this show lasts longer than the “O.C.” did. That show rose so quickly and fell really hard. I think that I had seen every episode. Mischa Barton got way to big for her britches.

The Zoobic Safari

Have you been to Zoobic Safari? It is located at the Ilanin Forest in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Philippines. Last month, we had an adventure to see the wild life - lions, tigers, ostriches, pot-belly pigs, goats, different species of birds and a lot more. we had so much that we took almost all of the animals. It was quite an experience!

A Fall Purse to Match My Downsized Wardrobe

Guest post written by Kathy Herman

I've been working really hard this summer to lose weight and I'm so proud to say that I've lost 20 pounds! This is something that I've been wanting to do for a long time and I finally reaped the rewards when I went shopping for fall clothes. But to go with all of those things, I need to make sure that I also get a few cute purses to go with my new downsized wardrobe so that I'll look all cute and pulled together with my new physique.

When it came to my accessories though, I did some online shopping because I wouldn't have to try those one and decide which size to wear. While I was online shopping for the purses, I ran across some info on clear TV. I looked through it and showed it to my roommates before I decided to change over our TV service to it.

I did find the perfect fall purse with this neutral light brown as the main color and dark gray as the accent colors on it. It looks so ladylike but still hip enough so that it will go with most of my outfits.

It's My Vacation Party

Now that I'm finally feeling out of work for the winter, I feel that it's time to do some traveling. My husband and I spent our summer time in North Dakota while I'm working from April to October. The months that I am at work, we couldn't really enjoy our summer time as other people did. Business first before pleasure as what other people say. And that's what we did for the whole six months we were there.

Last week, we finally close our doors for the campers and the camping season is over. It is time for us to enjoy ourselves and spend that moment we have been waiting for - the winter vacation. Our summer job up north was really good and it was overwhelming. We met a lot of travelers from all over United States and Canada. We some people from Europe too!

Now that our job is over for the year, it's time for us to party!

I Feel Great With My Hair!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TRESemmé for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I  show an excessively high opinion when it comes to my hair. I show great attention to every detail of it and I am very careful and precise the way my hair look. I could be very vain when it comes to my hair. Why not! I love taking care of my hair. Everybody says that I have long, shiny and beautiful hair. So I take my time taking care of it. It is one of my personal assets and I am proud about it. 

The thing is, Fall season has just started and the weather makes my hair and scalp dry. When it's winter time, my hair gets frizzy which makes me cranky. The more it gets cold, the more I dislike my own hair. I was advised by a good friend of mine that I should use TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo. She told me that she's been using it for quite a while now and she told me how to use  it. It's a complete line of shampoos that revive your style's look and feel on days you skip a shampoo. It is uniquely formulated to absorb excess oil and remove odor, the full line of dry shampoos rejuvenates hair without a drop of water. 

Since I have long, straight hair, I would like to try Volumizing Dry Shampoo. My friend said that it works for her and works for her mother too. I will give it a try to delete my problem with frizzy, dry and damaged hair. I don't have to worry about how can I survived a day making my hair beautiful because I know I can trust the shampoo that helps my hair look beautifully strong and healthy.  

 

Happy Birthday To Me!

Yesterday, September 29th, I celebrated my 29th birthday. I felt so loved and happy. My husband and some good friends made my day extra special. They brought cake and ice cream. They gave me flowers, birthday greeting cards and balloon. Some of my good friends send birthday wishes and special birthday gifts which I love. Thank you God for all the blessings. You are the best!

Fight For Your Rights

Recently, I watched a TV ad about vaginal mesh. It's already fairly well-known that mesh procedures have higher complications. In women, a vaginal mesh support is more effective for repairing a common type of pelvic organ prolapse, which occurs when pelvic organs fall out of place. But the procedure comes with a higher rate of serious complications during the surgery, such as bladder perforation and pelvic hemorrhage, and adverse events after the surgery, including new urinary incontinence and pain during sex. So if you have been a victim, get more information about vaginal mesh lawsuit. Get help and know your rights.

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday! I did some work today before celebrating my three-day birthday weekend. Though on the day of my actual birthday, I have to work but that's okay. Tomorrow, I will be celebrating my Golden Birthday.

Professional Suits

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Express. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you seen the TV show, Suits? It's all about a brilliant college-dropout who finds himself a job working at one of New York City's best lawyers. Have you seen the suits they are wearing in the law firm? It's absolutely stylish, decent and appropriate! What I like about the show is the women's fashion. They dress everyday according to their style and fashion as if it were their last. In the law firm where they work, it's like, life is a party and fashion. The women's suits are just perfect and it stands out to everybody. 

At Express, I can find my way to fashion! I find women who are strong and not afraid to do any fashion statement. From beautiful dressy and casual tops to dressy and casual pants and shorts, Express got it all. You can even glamorize the basics for bold style with their accessories. What I like about the suits is it can go from work to play every day! So if you want to get fabulous and stylish, enter Express sweepstakes for a chance to win a $500 suiting makeover.

T.G.I. Friday's Entree

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of T.G.I. FRiDAY'S. All opinions are 100% mine.

Weekend is almost over. Fall has started and I am feeling the cold breeze up north. The trees are turning to different colors which I love the most. In about a week, camping season in the northern part of United States will be over. Four days from now, I will be cerebrating my Golden Birthday (occurs when they turn the age of their birth day (example: when someone born on the 25th of the month turns 25). I am already planning as early as now what to do on my birthday. Maybe I could get lucky if I join T.G.I. Friday's Fun Freezer contest. 

Since my husband said, he will bring me to the city of Fargo on my birthday, we might as well have the birthday dinner at T.G.I. Friday's restaurant. It will be a treat for both of us. But if ever work comes our way, we will postpone the birthday dinner and might as well purchase T.G.I. FRiDAY’S “Entrées for One” in the store. I have seen quite a variety in the store last week so I am hoping it will still be a happy birthday for me. I would purchased the Sesame Orange Chicken to get the Asian flavor out of it and maybe a Prime Rib Stroganoff for my husband. There you go! Birthday dinner is solved!

The Ultimate Game

I have always wanted to try the paintball game. I think it is a cool game! With all the equipments you use, the gears and the fun it will bring for my friends. I have seen a paintball game in the movie - Failure to Launch. Paintball is played with a potentially limitless variety of rules and variations, all of which are specified before the game begins. Years ago, we planned on playing this game but wasn't able to do it because we're not in our proper attire. So the next time we will visit the place, I should have my paintball guns ready and all the gears I should need before playing this game. I'm excited!

Happy Saturday!

Who doesn't love the weekend? Happy Saturday everyone! Have a super day!

Let's Get it Straight!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am such a talker. I love to talk to my family and friends whenever I can. I would say, I can stay on the phone talking to my loved ones for hours just to know how are they doing. But am I getting my money's worth? I have been watching different phone companies on TV commercials and I would say it's a ripped off. Just imagine all the phone bill you have to pay every month just to secure that you really are getting the good quality of a phone service. Come to think of it, if you can cut your bill in half, then you will feel richer. 

Right now, I could Call a friend and ask her what she's doing for the weekend but I have to wait at nine o'clock so we can talk longer and plan our weekend. I think all I need is a phone company that will serve me better. I like the idea that I can cut my phone bill in half and feel richer. Imagine the amount of money I would be saving if I switch to Straight Talk. My husband's daughter is already a user. For as low as $45 for unlimited monthly service, she Hook, line and sinker an amazing phone service for her. It includes calls, text, picture messaging and web. Also, it is free from activation, reactivation and termination fees. The no-contract world could serve as a tipping point for millions of consumers who are already considering moving away from expensive contract-based cell phone service. How cool is that? 

Don't fret for all amazing smartphones users. You could own an Android on Straight Talk and still enjoy an unlimited calling plan. I would say that Straight Talk are great for all users. The "all you need" plan for heavy users is also available. So, if you have that extra money, what would you do? Start to get the feeling richer effect now!

Invest in Gold!

It's no doubt that gold is a good investment. TV ads about gold is in every channel. A spokesperson said that we should invest in gold. Gold has been widely used throughout the world as a vehicle for monetary exchange, either by issuance and recognition of gold coins or other bare metal quantities, or through gold-convertible paper instruments by establishing gold standards in which the total value of issued money is represented in a store of gold reserves. Gold is at an all-time high so it's a good time to invest. My husband and I are talking about investing on gold. Goldline International is one of the leading companies in the United States offering a full range of precious metals products. We should check it out!

Happily Married

Last week, my husband and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary. As far as I’m concerned, marrying him was the turning point in my life. We celebrated our anniversary in a blissful yet simple manner. We had a romantic dinner, watched a good movie and basically just spent the whole day celebrating our beautiful marriage. Thank you, God for the wonderful years!

Best Thing Ever

The article written by Alonso Kramer

Getting married was the best thing I ever did but it also totally turned my life upside down. I know that sounds silly but my husband lived out here in Texas so I had to move everything I owned from Georgia to here and it was quite a transition for both me and my family since we were all so close. I’m getting used to it out here and I even lined up a teaching job to start in December for a lady who’s having a baby in the fall and I can’t wait to get started! I’ve been doing the wifely duties at home like cleaning and researching HughesNet Internet in Texas and I feel like I’m really getting the hang of being someone’s significant other. I love being married and my husband an I really like all the BBQ they eat out here in the Lone Star state, too! That’s not the worst thing about moving!
