how do you save money?

Since I was a small girl, mom’s reminder to me was to be thrifty and learn how to save for those rainy days. Being a woman who is careful with her money, mom will make it a point to budget on a monthly basis and avoid buying things that we don’t necessary need. Though I wish I could be more obedient to her words, one of the best ways to save money is to work a budget spreadsheet for yourself, updated on a monthly basis. Keeping a budget means listing down your bills, mortgages, what you need for insurance and if you have any loans, that should be listed too. You should also allocate a reasonable amount for your food and personal expenses, transport and set aside an amount to save.

Keeping track of your expenditure makes you aware of your financial situation. With the advancement of computer technology, these things are made easy with word processing and simple accounting software. I use an excel spreadsheet to keep records of our household expenses and that helps to keep our family finances on track.

colourful gourmet getaway for meals on the go

This colourful Built NY Gourmet Getaway is a great companion for those meals on the go. Made of insulating neoprene material, this lightweight, cheerful tote keeps all your food and drinks cold for up to four hours. With more room than the Lunch Tote, this is a fun way to carry your meals, use it for a picnic or bring it to the beach. When not in use, it folds flat for storage when empty. To me, it serves well as a multi-purpose tote due to its attractive design and style… I may even carry it on my weekend grocery shopping.

Jimmy Choo first boutique in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

It’s here! The wait is finally over! Those who are addicted to Jimmy Choo’s seductive shoes and desirable handbags do not have to travel to London for their fix now! Jimmy had opened his first boutique at the Suria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Jimmy’s collection needs no introduction. Well, I’m not a fan of Jimmy :) His styles and designs are too feminine for me but I wouldn’t mind one of his classic collection for those special dinner functions. Then again, my credit card may not be too pleased with this idea.

a stylish laptop sleeve for my Macbook Pro

I have been looking around for a nice laptop sleeve for my MacBook Pro. The ones in the computer store are usually black and have big logos or ugly prints on them. When shopping for a laptop sleeve, always make sure that it’s water resistant, shock absorbent, durable, and washable by hand. Also, make sure it’s not adding too much weight to your laptop. I spotted thisĀ  POPPY LAPTOP SLEEVE from a high risk life insurance magazine, designed by Tony Lu. This neoprene lapton sleeve is stylish, sleek, vibrant, cheerful and modernistic! Problem is it only fits up to 14″ and my MacBook Pro is 15″ :(

for all your bathroom needs

When one talks about remodeling the house, the bathroom is an important area to work on. This includes choosing the Taps, showers, bathroom cabinet, sink, bath tubs, shower curtains and other accessories that will complement the theme and style of your house. Actually, this is one section of the house I enjoy working on. Choosing these bathroom accessories can be fun and exciting, as long as my beloved hubby doesn’t interfere with my selections :)
