New Year Greeting Card

I was lazy last holiday season. I usually mail our Christmas card earlier because I am sure that the post office will be busy. For some unknown reason, I just got so lazy that I didn't even order enough number of personalized Christmas cards. Thus, some of our family and friends didn't receive our Christmas card. I decided to send some New Year Greeting cards to the people that are close to us.




I just hope that they got it on time.

Wonder Woman!


Wonder Woman is actually still a kitten of course, but she would love to become your very own superstar and grow to become a majestic adult.

She is a gorgeous, affectionate brown tabby, 3 months of age, spayed baby girl with a hearty purr, and she debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Wonder Woman's hero was her foster dad, who bottle fed her at all hours of the day and night after her rescue as a motherless newborn.

Botox for Younger Looking Skin

As we age, we develop many skin problems such as dark spots, crow’s feet, wrinkles and others. But the most visible of all these signs of aging is wrinkles. These are permanent and will be always be present no matter how much we prevent from getting it. But with scientific advancements and technological developments, many procedures, surgical and non-surgical have been created to keep wrinkles from coming back or to at least totally eliminate it. Many dermatological clinics and shops have also sprouted like mushrooms around the globe and some countries have even started promoting medical tourism.

Perhaps one of the most popular non-surgical procedures to reduce the appearance of wrinkles is botox. Many have undergone this treatment and have been satisfied with the visible results. This treatment is practiced everywhere, if you are in Australia, botox port melbourne is highly recommended. Even in the developing countries you can find botox treatments in most derm clinics. It is but one of the safest procedures to have younger looking skin.

The Orchestra

When we went to the mall in Riverchase Galleria, Hoover, Alabama, there was an orchestra playing in the food court. We really didn't stay to listen to them as our kids were already antsy and can't wait to do something else. The orchestra always fascinates me.

Settlements as an Option

There are times when domestic squabbles and violence disrupt and break a family apart. Sometimes petty things end up becoming a big deal or hot issue and eventually tear down bonds and relationships. In cases like these when matters can’t be resolved with mediation and counseling, concerned parties opt for settlement wherein they both agree on terms or arrangement.

There are different forms of settlements, those from insurance, compensation from a personal injury or claims are just some of them. For individuals or companies undergoing through such processes, it may be very daunting and the cash or financial objectives might not be met. But for faster, safer and guaranteed results, one can always seek the help and assistance of professional experts. Like when one is planning to sell structured settlements, one can look into the possibilities of just relaxing and letting the experts do the job and the legwork for you. Many companies offer such services and will help ease the burden off your shoulders.

Big sister's new home


Thanks for the guest post by Donn Schroeder


My big sister just moved far away from me. It was hard as first because I thought I would not see her much, but it is quite the opposite. I think I actually see her more now than I did. She and her husband bought a beautiful home. To be honest, I am actually a little jealous. I hope my first home looks as wonderful. There is a giant pool in the backyard. I think it is actually larger than some resort pools. She has one of the most advanced Albuquerque security SYSTEMS I have ever seen. Everything is a touch screen and I can even adjust the air in my own room. That is the other great thing about her new home. I have my own room. She even let me pick all the decorations for it. If my school was closer, I would much live with her than our parents. However, I am sure her husband would not be too happy about that. At least I still get to see her a lot.

Home Insurance for Peace of Mind

A friend of mine living in the United Kingdom is set for a month-long vacation back to her home country together with the entire family. Now she is quite worried as this is her first time to leave their home and their belongings and properties and this will also be their first time to be away for a long time and out-of-the country. So to relieve her of her anxiety, she asked for the assistance of a specialist home insurance. She inquired about the benefits of getting a home insurance and was glad and convinced that acquiring a home insurance will give her the peace of mind while she is away. She will be secured that her properties and assets will still be intact and that should inevitable circumstances happen in their absence, she is insured that she will get compensation.

It will be quite a hefty amount but it is a worthwhile investment. I am sure that she will have all the time of her life while on vacation knowing that she will still have a place to come home to when she gets back.

Aries is blessed with a million-dollar smile.



Aries has been a good momma, and now that her maternal duties are completed, she is ready to find a loving, forever home.

Home Insurance While We Are Away

My family will be on vacation for about a month come January next year. We will be going to my home country to attend my parent’s golden wedding anniversary. Since we will be away, we made sure that our house, our belongings and other properties will be intact till the time we get back from the Philippines. So hubby and I decided to get a home insurance, just to make sure that all our assets will still be in place.

Getting a home insurance will surely give us the peace of mind while we are away. Times have changed and many out there are also in need and might think of something that will harm their fellow neighbors or might ransack homes whose owners and dwellers are not around. It is better to be safe than sorry, and even if it caused us some of our hard-earned money, it is a worthwhile investment and will truly be advantageous for my family.

Speaking of home insurance, a good friend of mine who now resides in UK is also a believer of home insurance because of the peace of mind that it gives to her and her family. You too should check on this.

7-UP Snow Ball

We went to a grocery store when Andrea noticed this. She is fascinated with snow balls. We actually started a snowball collection for her.

When she got near this huge snowball, she was staring at this because she was mesmerized at how those snowball where blown. She even was enthusiastic to have her picture taken.


I Want to Try to Ski

In some parts of the country, snow has totally covered the surroundings. Here in Alabama, it snows, once in a blue moon and that probably is the reason why I want to book a ski holiday one of these days. I’ve always wanted to try to ski and feel the adrenalin rush and just experience snow itself. It would really be an adventure of a lifetime.

Since I am quite interested in trying and learning to ski, I’ve looked into Fast Track Ski. They offer cheap ski holidays for 2012. They have a ski holiday team that will help and guide you in finding a ski holiday deal. It can be in the Alpine Region, Austria and Italy or at the Pyreness, Andora, which are all great for families and for those who will be skiing for the first time. So this means it’s perfect for me and for my household.

Aside from trying to ski for the first time, I will also have the chance to see Europe! That is just like hitting two birds with one stone. I bet it would mean a great deal of amount as I would be spending in Euros, but I guess when you’re having fun and all, what you’ve spent won’t matter anymore.

Mademoiselle Ahiti needs a hero.


Mademoiselle Ahiti only understands French, so we have had a volunteer visit her daily and speak French to her and console her broken heart.  Mademoiselle Ahiti's previous owners returned to France.

Fun Time, Kool-Aid Time

This post brought to you by Kool Aid. All opinions are 100% mine.


I have a beautiful childhood. I always remember my childhood years with lots of outdoor activities. It was a lot of fun with my siblings and our neighbors/friends. As family, we always make sure that we spend quality time together. Having parents that worked very hard, we are lucky that they never neglected us (time-wise). They always spend time with us. We play ball, skip ropes and other outdoor games. We play hard and every time we get inside our home to cool off, Mom will always have a chilled Kool-Aid for us. She always have canister of Kool-Aid in different flavors. Mom also make sure that we have some snacks to munch on. Most of the time, Mom will make Orange flavor as it was a family's favorite.

Looking back, Kool-Aid has always been our regular drink and it was like part of growing up. Now that I am a mother myself, I can't help but smile whenever my daughter will ask me for Kool-Aid Jammers.

Do you have Kool-Aid memories as a child? When you think about Kool-Aid, what does it reminds you? Is it about play time, family time, sports, recess at school or something else? Share it with us. Also, please check out Kool-Aid's Facebook page and click the "Noches de Pelikoola" tab to download a coupon and to look for Sunday movie nights with downloadable movie specific bingo cards. Each of these bingo cards feature a Kool-Aid recipe .

Kool-Aid Time is always a Fun Time!

Life Insurance Coverage: Key Factors to Consider When Assessing How Much Term Life Insurance You Need


Life insurance salesmen will try to convince you to buy more insurance than you need. The more coverage you buy, the more you will pay in monthly premiums, meaning that your life insurance policy will help line the pockets of the insurance company. You don't want to be caught paying more than you need into your insurance, but you also don't want to buy too little coverage and leave your family without proper financial security. How do you balance the cost of insurance against the payout?



How To Calculate How Much Life Insurance You Need


When determining life insurance needs, you first need to consider exactly what the purpose of your policy is. If you are the primary income in your family, your needs will be different than if your spouse makes the majority of the money. If you have very young children at home, you will need more insurance than a home without children.



When first calculating your policy needs, consider the following items:


· How much money do you make each year?


· What is the total amount of any secured debts you would leave behind?


· What percentage of the household's total income comes from you?


· How many years do you want to provide replacement income to your family?


· Do you want to set money aside for the funeral cost?


· Do you want to set money aside for the possibility of lingering medical expenses?



Once you have some rough figures in mind, you can figure out how much your family needs each year, multiply that by the number of years until they become independent, and then add other one-time costs like funeral expenses. One grey factor will be the medical expenses. If you have good health insurance, you should not worry about this, but jobs change and with that, the insurance. It may be prudent to add in funds to pay for such needs. This will give you an honest answer without anyone trying to sell you additional coverage the way a life insurance salesman might. You can then go online and compare life insurance rates through a quote site.



What Don't You Need Insurance For?


In some cases, insurance isn't the wisest choice. If you want to fund your child's education, pay for a retirement fund for your spouse, or put aside money to move to the Bahamas, you may be better off putting those funds into an interest-bearing investment. That way, the money isn't lost if you survive to the end of your life insurance term. Even if you do pass away, the money in the account will be available to your beneficiaries.



Ideally, the purpose of life insurance is to make sure your family doesn't suffer a financial hardship if you die unexpectedly. It's not meant to make your surviving relatives rich. If you're paying too much for your term life insurance, you're gambling against your own life; instead, buy only as much coverage as you need and invest the rest.



Life insurance needs vary from one person to the next. Because there are so many factors involved in determining the value of a policy, no one answer will fit all customers. Nevertheless, there are ways to determine how much insurance you might need in order to cover your family's needs. By checking in advance, you can rest easy knowing that your family will receive enough coverage in the event of your premature death.

Why Need a Bankruptcy Lawyer?

Bankruptcy is one legal status that individuals or businesses would definitely don't want to be in. No one would want to be in a situation wherein debts are overwhelming and all the salary just goes to creditors and lenders. No one would also want to have credit card companies chasing them just to be able to pay their debts. But if it is very inevitable, bankruptcy can somehow be prevented. With the help of bankruptcy lawyer new orleans, or any other bankruptcy lawyer in the state, individuals filing for bankruptcy will be aided and educated on the processes and will be guided as to taking the right actions. With their expertise, the financial situation will be analyzed and conclusions drawn from their findings will be used to pursue the right actions to take.

Retaining legal aid or these bankruptcy lawyers will tell your creditors to contact or go through them first. They will explain how bankruptcy works, your rights and your obligations to the court and creditors, and how it will affect you and your future. They will also do the paper works and the filing process for you, thus taking off this burden on your shoulders. So therefore it is a good idea to seek the help of these professionals to help you straighten out your situation.

My ELLE Purse


This is the latest purse that I bought for myself. I like it because it is simple and very chic. I bought this one thinking that even if I will end up not liking it, I will not be wasting a lot of money because this was very cheap.

When I got home, I tried this purse in front of the mirror and I really liked it.

This is my first entry for Wednesday Whites.

The World's Longest Christmas Cake in China



China sets the world records for the World's Longest Christmas Cake, this Christmas cake was one kilometer long, and also achieved new Guinness World Record in Shanghai on Thursday during a charity event to raise funds for children with cancer. Wow. Could you imagine a 1km long Christmas cake?

The world's longest ever Christmas cake, a 1,068 meter-long (3,504 foot) vanilla flavoured log with a bitter chocolate frosting, was created by 80 cooks from the five star Pudong Shangri-la Hotel. Preparation took several days and the final set up involved 150 staff members working for 24 hours straight, with the cake placed on 156 tables lined up in the hotel lobby. How about the ingredients?

This Longest Christmas Cake ever required 904 organic eggs, 1,045 kilograms (2,304 pounds) of wheat flour, 209 kilograms (461 pounds) of cane sugar, 633 liters (1,114 pints) of fresh cream, 401 kilograms (884 pounds) of bitter chocolate and 34 kilograms (75 pounds) of vanilla from Tahiti.

The previous record for a Christmas log cake was achieved by French chefs in Paris exactly a year ago, on December 1st, 2010, according to Guinness World Records. It measured 207.8 meters (682 feet). Chefs in Shanghai intended to make the cake stretch out for 888 meters (2,913 feet), so the announcement of the final length far exceeded expectations.

The cake was sliced immediately and sold to the public for 2 yuan (0.31 US dollars) per piece. Proceeds from the sale of the cake will be used to support the medical needs of four children undergoing chemotherapy treatment in Shanghai.

Bizarre Christmas Tree made by Recycled Soda Bottles



Have you prepared the Christmas Tree for this years Christmas Event? Maybe this kind of Christmas tree could be a great choice for you, A Lithuanian artist Jolanta Šmidtien has made a unique Christmas tree from a recycled soda bottles. When the night comes this Recycled soda bottles Christmas tree will give a beautiful glow (see the pictures in the left)

She’d done this bizarre Christmas tree for the past three years. Because the town, along with everywhere else in the world, is currently living in interesting times economically, she decided to save the city some cash.

She built a 13-meter (or roughly 40 feet) tall tree, using green plastic soda bottles, the kind which usually contain Sprite or 7-Up. It’s also held together with zip ties. At night, the tree is lit from within, giving a beautiful glow.

Since the tree is made out of recycled parts, there’s no need to take any other resources out of the Earth. They didn’t need to suck some oil out of the ground or cut down any trees. This tree shows that recycling is not just some kind of environmental “slacktivism,” or pretending to do something for the environment. Recycling can also be beautiful. You can see also more of unique christmas tree such as this golden Christmas tree by Ginza tanaka and the $11 Million Christmas Tree.

Below you can find more pictures of Bizarre Christmas Tree made by Recycled Soda Bottles by Jolanta Šmidtien
