Gold Jewelry

While reading the Sunday paper, I saw big flyer (a half page) of a big gold spot event to be held in one of the hotels in our area. A certain company that buys jewelry and gold will be there for three days and you can bring any piece of jewelry, old or new, broken or not that you want to get rid of. I know that the price of gold is increasing so this company is inviting everyone to come and sell your gold to them. The gold price is not the same for all the three days that they will be at the hotel; it depends on the market. It may increase or decrease at any time. Like what I always hear, since the gold price is going up, this is the best time to convert your unwanted jewelry into cash.

I remember, I still have jewelry from way back when I was in kindergarten. Most of my stuffs were given to me, thus they have sentimental values attached to every piece I have. Those that I bought through my earned money are also hard to give up. I’ll keep them for my daughter. I am not ready to give up any of them. To me, they are all priceless.

Beads Of Cambay

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Beads Of Cambay. All opinions are 100% mine.

Since I joined a social networking network online, I saw friends, classmates and relatives that I have not communicated with since I graduated from high school. It is nice to be updated with each other’s lives once again although we live thousand miles apart. The internet makes us closer to each other; helping us with our plan to have a reunion in the Philippines sometime next year. Right now, we are helping one of our high school friends whose family was greatly affected by the recent typhoon in the Philippines. They lost everything including their house and cars. So, we are trying to raise some money to help them get back into their feet and start a new life. This family used to have a handicraft and jewelry making business so some of us here, including me have helped her family by sending some materials like beads and gemstones that she can use in jewelry making. Actually she wrote in her webpage that her family did not totally lost everything because they still have their knowledge to start the business again is untouched. Little by little they already started by just making some jewelry at their rented apartment and sell them online. I am still looking for more beads and gemstones for her at Beads Of Cambay.

Beads Of Cambay

The last time I went home to Manila, I bought a lot of our local beads as gifts to my friends here. I love jewelry but I was not into fashion jewelry like beads and gemstones. After having been to a lot of stores selling beads, I have discovered how beautiful and trendy they are. So when I got back here, I started buying beads for me and it has become a habit to check beads when I go shopping. Even a clothing store has a section for fashion jewelry that would go with different style of clothes. Now I could say, I learned to love beads. I could wear an ordinary jeans and shirt and just accessorize my outfit with a bead necklace and what a transformation it does.

I have been buying my beads from regular stores in the malls and they are not cheap. I try to learn to make my own beads to save money since I came across Beads Of Cambay, an online store that carries a big beads inventory of different stones, colors and shapes. If you are a jewelry designer or artistic enough to make your own jewelry, you can order Wholesale Beads & Gemstones from Beads of Cambay.

Makeup Techniques on DVD

Asian makeup

How to apply makeup Makeup Video
I used to work as a counter and customer service person in one local bank here. There was a big transition from my usual ward robe of just plain jeans, t-shirts and jeans. Not only that, I learned how to apply makeup every morning which has become a daily routine. Learning how to apply make up was easy because I saw the instructional videos from Aesthetic VideoSource but finding the right shade for my complexion got difficult. I have to get the Asian makeup up to go with my skin type and color. I am dark skinned but the black makeup I have has been given away to a friend thinking that I will not be using it in the future. If you are interested in learning different make up techniques, get the new Professional Makeup Technique DVD series from videoshelf.com. I do my own make up now just by learning the techniques through videos.

I Am Excited To Go Clubbing

This coming 4th of July weekend, we have friends from California who are coming over for a visit. Last time we saw one another was when we went to San Diego about five years ago. We stayed at their beautiful house for a weekend and now it is our chance to tour them around New York and New Jersey. They are first timers here together with their teen daughter. Only Friday, July 3rd, we are planning to go clubbing in the city while the daughter can hang around with the step daughter. I have not been in a club for a long time since I had my daughter. I do not think I still know how to dress up for a clubbing spree. My friend says to go shopping at AMIClubwear, an online boutique selling trendy and fashionable clothing, shoes, accessories, etc at very reasonable prices.

My Mother's Day Gift

Mother’s day is one special day that I always look forward to every year. Every mother’s day has been special to me since I became a mom but this mother’s day was more significant because it is the first time I got a card from my daughter that she made herself. Also, it is the first time that my husband has given me jewelry as a gift. I was really surprised because he does not know how to buy jewelry. Normally, he will bring me to a store, let me pick what I want and he pays for it. When I asked him if he asked his sister-in-law to help him, he said no. He confessed that he got some tips and gift ideas from Jewelry Information Center on how to buy jewelry. I checked the website myself and I found how helpful it is to buyers and consumers.

Meet The Parents

We just got home from dinner. Today is the step daughter’s birthday so we treated her to dinner. The whole family was there and the celebrant’s special visitor who is the boyfriend. Step daughter asked her father’s permission first if she could invite him to join her birthday dinner. I already saw him before but he looked so different in his MONIKER shirt. The birthday girl was a bit nervous of the first meeting between her dad and the boyfriend but everything went well. She had a good time and probably an unforgettable birthday.

The My.Suit Experience

Two weeks ago, I remembered my husband telling me that we got invited to his friend’s wedding in Jersey City. I did not pay much attention to it and he never mentioned it again. I totally forgot about it until today while having breakfast he asked me if whether we just give peter (his friend) a gift that we like or pick one from their registry or just cash. My eyes grew big and said to him, “When is the wedding?” He went to the car a get the invitation. It will be on Sept. 28th! It was almost 10 am so we went straight to the mall to find a suit for him. We did not find anything that he likes, it’s either too big or no size available or he does not like the style. I called my cousin from Brooklyn because he is like my husband’s built if I he has an available suit we can borrow. He recommended mysuitny.com located in 33rd and Broadway if we want to have a custom suit and they can have one ready for you in two weeks. Yes, my cousin was right. We found a solution to this suit problem. My Suit NY is the best, they pay so much attention to all the details. They will make around 30 measurements on you to make sure the suit will perfectly fit your body style – it’s made-to-measure just for my husband. He is so picky with the fitting so this is just what he wanted. After all the measurements, you pick your own style for the jacket and pants. Just tell the consultant what suit style you want and they can personalize everything for you. Any kind of fabric you want for your suit, My Suit NY has it.
So ladies, this is good news for us. Don’t let some surprises like this one ruin your day. I knew how frustrating it is when you need something right away and you can’t seem to find it at the mall.

Philippines - Every year at the opening of the Congress the president delivers a state of the nation address (SONA) at the Batasang Pambansa. Usually, this is what they call as red carpet were the women will be wearing signature clothes and jewelries just like an award's night. Well, the standout among the outfits, gowns and formal dresses was a G-string attire of Mayor Rosario Camma of Nagtipunan, Quirino. He proudly wore his native attire in Bugkalot tribe which made him a favorite of photographers and mediamen, including GMA who made a special mention of him. I don't think he spent thousands of pesos for his attire and be the star of the night.

YSL 1936-2008

Yves Saint Laurent died last Sunday June 1st at his home in Paris. YSL is one of the famous fashion designers of the 20th century together with Christian Dior and Coco Channel. His headquarters is in Paris, the fashion capital of the world. YSL was born in 1936, started designing clothes at the age of 17. He became a student at a haute couture school but only for 3 months then he got introduced to Christian Dior and Dior was so impressed with his talent that he hired YSL. When Christian Dior died in 1957, YSL was named House of Dior head at the age of 21. IN 1962, YSL with his business partner Pierre Berge opened his own couture fashion house. Berge has been his partner for four decades.

YSL retired at the age of 65 with the closure of his haute couture house in 2002 in Paris and sold his ready to wear line to Gucci in 1999. He had a year long battle with cancer before his death last Sunday. The funeral will be on Friday at the Saint Roch Church, Paris.
