For a long time, I’ve been thinking of renovating our house specifically the bathroom. My sister-in-law utters a negative feedback over it when she gave us a visit a few months ago. It’s too nice of her for giving that comment, it made me feel awful. Sigh! Well, I just have to consider that as a constructive criticism, so I could convert the negative feeling into a positive one.

For now I’m checking several bathroom suites of “Better bathrooms.” My daughter suggests the store before the incident happen, but I did not bother to consider it. I guess this is the perfect time to do it, so I won’t be getting another negative feedback in the future.

For sure I’ll be able to get one high quality and elegant bathroom suite that fits my budget as well as the area of my bathroom. Fortunately, I’m seeing a big discount on the item that caught my eye. I smell savings on the air. It’s really amazing; I can’t wait to share the good news to hubby. I’m sure he too will appreciate my finds.

I’m just imagining, with this kind of bathroom, I guess my sister-in-law won’t have to utter such insulting words. If she still does, then I’m certain something is wrong with her. My bathroom won’t be the issue if she does, it’s her attitude.

Not long ago I mention my interest in putting up a business specifically a salon. Actually, I have two choices at that time. But, I would rather forget about the other one for some reason I want to keep to myself. Well, I already eager to take on the challenge. However, I chicken out knowing that I still need to get the right education in order to offer the service. I feel I’m too old for that.

Anyway, for those who has what it takes to be part of the beauty industry, then look for high caliber beauty school like the Cosmetology School in Austin. It is one of the many campuses of the Regency Beauty Institute.

According to Hayes Batson, Regency’s president and CEO, they bring unique approach to cosmetology education by emulating upscale salons and provide an exceptional education that benefits our students, the salon community, and the public. The graduates are recognized and sought after throughout the United States. For more information, visit www.regencybeauty.com.

According to the entertainment news, singer Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon are expecting their first child: after a recent performance in Brazil, Radar Online is now able to confirm that, indeed, the diva is four months pregnant.

Though this is not the first time rumors of this type get out in the media, there can hardly be any doubt about it this time: after trying repeatedly to get pregnant, the singer is finally with child. The reason Mariah and Nick are not confirming this for the media is that they would rather they kept the happy news to themselves, perhaps out of fear that something might go wrong. Though Mariah shares a very close relationship with her fans, she has solid reason for choosing not to disclose this information to them just yet – but she will probably do so in a few months.

“Nick has been telling friends how excited he is to be a dad. Mariah has tried so hard to get pregnant. She definitely wanted to get pregnant. She’s also very excited. She wants to wait as close to full term as possible before going public with the news to her fans,” a source close to the singer says for Radar. (more…)

The first diamond I have is when my daughter gave me a pair of earrings. Well, I’m still using it now and place great importance to it even if it only has little value. Blogging for a long time helped me a lot in learning little information in diamonds. For sure my diamond earring doesn’t have what it takes to be as valuable as compared to other diamonds.

Of course, my knowledge is way too far from those experts in gemological laboratories. So, I leave the tasks in determining the diamond’s quality and value to them. It’s easier that way. But, I have to see to it that if I purchase diamond earrings with good quality and value, I’ll look for the shop that offers certified diamonds that have been graded by one of the five most trusted gemological laboratories. Good thing I already have ideas where to find them.

While hopping from one blog to another, I came across my friend’s blog. Actually, I intended to visit her site because I want to know new things about her. It’s been a while since the last time I heard of her. Since I don’t have much in my to-do list, I spend some time reading her posts. It is the time I realized that they will celebrate their 27th anniversary in October.

Well, that is a long time yet they continually cherish the very time they get married. She is asking different great anniversary gift ideas. I would like to give suggestions only if I know some. Sadly, I ran out of it. Hubby and I no longer give gifts to each other for a long time already. But, we still celebrate our special day in our own little way such that we still enjoy that day together.
