Finally, I am seeing some light when hubby told me about his career plans. I thought he only intends to do training for the rest of his life. Now, he is planning to go abroad to practice his profession. He would do this to earn more than work here and earn less.

For that matter I will be left alone in our house, which will be quite boring. I’m not used to being alone for a long time. So, I decided to go back to my parents’ house before his expected date of flight. That way I can transfer all our stuff.

Since it is not a long distance move, I won’t need to contract with long distance moving company. But, I would still need their service even if it’s a short distance move. We already invested quite a number of items and there is no way I will put them in danger. I would still benefit even if I pay a price for the service and that benefit is ensuring all my valuable items is in great shape.

Ever since I decided to move out of my parents house, I started to love plants. It is probably because I have more time to spend with it now as compared to before where I keep on chatting with my mom during my free time. As of the moment I have a small garden that I water every morning and afternoon.

However, the high temperature places a toll in my garden. The sad thing, I can’t do anything about it. I can’t put an umbrella just to keep it cool. Installing a greenhouse isn’t possible as well because it is way too expensive. To make matters worse, the news said this Elnino will continue until July. I can only imagine the result of my plants by the time the weather goes back to normal.

Since there is little I can do for my garden, I come up with an idea to purchase an indoor plants. That way I can protect them from the harsh sunny weather. My choices range from bonsai, cactus, daffodils and orchids. All of them are nice. Now I have to make a plan on the kinds of plants, how many and where to place them if ever.

I can’t wait to see my house with so many pretty plants. I am sure it will give life to my boring four corner house.

Here’s some incredible and easy way to make a lotion. It is so inexpensive and organic that you might wonder why anyone would even consider spending a dime on the chemical rich lotions on the market. Besides this could give you an incentive if you have eczema.

To begin, for a lotion base all you need is water, oil and an emulsifier. An emulsifier is simply an ingredient that blends the water and oil together. Here is the base that you begin with to make your lotion:

• ½ cup distilled water
• ½ cup oil (I usually use olive, almond, macadamia nut, or grape seed)
• 1 TBS liquid lecithin

You can experiment from here by adding essential oils, combining other oils; you can steep beneficial herbs into your water before you add your oil, etc. Here is a nice winter lotion to get you started: Read the rest of this entry »

There are a few variations in clothes washers—some load from the top and others load from the front—but all washing machines are basically big tubs that fill up with water, agitate to scrub clothes, and spin to wring out the water.

Of course, in addition to these basic functions, they may have any number of sophisticated functions, particularly with the settings and controls. Most new types incorporate some type of electronic timer.

When buying a new washing machine, be sure to pay attention to the warranty. Be clear about both the term and the extent of the coverage. And be aware that some washing machines are much easier to work on than others. Some new types have a cabinet that is easy to detach and lift off for easy access to the parts.

There are a number of problems you can fix quite simply, but washers have a variety of devices that, when they go wrong, are best left in the hands of a qualified repairperson.

In addition to my heavy feeling yesterday, I got too mad to hubby for being so careless. He just broke the faucet in the bathroom. I don’t know how it goes off, but it happened. The faucet is cut off from the tip of the joints. We just came from a major plumbing repair last December, and now we have to fix another faucet. It’s too much for me to think as it adds up to my aching head.

Good thing he admits to his mistake and guarantees to fix it in the afternoon. I don’t want to pay the overpriced plumber of our landlady. But, he humbly asked me to accompany him to the hardware to choose the best Delta faucets. Well, I agree to that so long as he will fix it. For the meantime, I have to endure the no-water day.

I already feel something’s wrong with me when I wake up early this morning. Despite my heavy feeling, I still do what I have to do such as cook breakfast, check the backyard and see if I have to sweep it, and check my emails. But, I rarely check our mailbox as we seldom receive traditional mails except for utility bills. However, I am forced to do that today as I have seen a piece of paper snooping out of the corner.

Well, it’s just a flier of one of our town’s cable provider. But, I am already interested about this company just as I am fascinated in Cox cable. One of the many reasons I have, is that both companies offer bundled services. Of course, there is a little difference from the two.

Cox bundle is composed of digital cable of over 240 channels, high-speed internet of up to 12 MBPS, and unlimited telephone service. While the local cable provider offer cable of 100 channels the most, fairly fast internet of up to one MBPS, and unlimited Read the rest of this entry »
