Bacne

Not-A-Random Girl — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 08:20:02 +0000

My sister found a beautiful backless dress that fits her perfectly well. She was hoping she can wear the dress for an important occasion. The only problem is, she is suffering from adult back acne. Her bacne (back acne) will ruin the beauty of the dress. So, she needs to look for a dress that will entirely cover her back.I told her to just keep the dress. In the mean time, she can find a cure for her back acne. Who knows, she can wear the dress in another occasion.

In my previous post, I was talking about placing some of my earnings online to my savings account. Another thing that I should also take care of is getting a life insurance for me and my family. Having an insurance is important as well. However, I admit that I do not know much about these financial matters. I have to find out what financial plan is best for my me and my family. A friend who works as a insurance sales agent mentioned about different insurance types suchas rop term life insurance. I would have to do my research well before investing my money into this stuff.

New Jersey Vacation

Not-A-Random Girl — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 04:02:18 +0000

Do you still keep in touch with your high school buddies? A friend of mine who moved to New Jersey a few years ago still communicates with me from time to time. She said that working there as a nurse can be very stressful. But I think she is happy with what she’s doing.

When she has a chance to take a break, she would unwind by having a Jersey Shore beach vacation. I told her that what I want to visit are amusement parks. Amusement parks makes me feel young. I could go screaming on top of my lungs while having fun on those rides. She said I would not be disappointed because there’s a nice amusement park in NJ called Morey’s Pier. She also mentioned that we could stay at Jersey Shore and Wildwood hotels.

I was looking online for more information about Morey’s Pier. You could guess I am really interested about it. Those who are able to go there this holiday would be very lucky. They have an annual holiday sale that runs from December 1 through January 9. Customers can save nearly 40% on a Season Pass to both waterparks.

For the big kids out there, who wants to ride a Sky Coaster? Well, I’m sure if you would have a chance to visit, a day won’t be enough for you!

Are You Good in Handling Money?

Not-A-Random Girl — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 09:52:39 +0000

Are You Good in Handling Money? Well, a lot of people are learning how to spend money wisely because of the economic crisis. But regardless of the economic crisis, it helps a lot if you are good in handling money. Being a wise spender is a good value that you can impart to your children.

Here are a few tips Money-Saving Tips:

1. Avoid Impulse Buying – Sure that cute dress you see on the mannequin may look perfect for you? But don’t you have enough clothes that fits you perfectly too. From experience, most of the things I buy on impulse where things that I don’t really need and don’t have any use for. To avoid this from happening, do not bring a lot of money or credit cards when you don’t really have anything planned out to purchase.

2. Pay your bills on time – Paying your bills on time is good for your credit reputation and it also save you from late-fee charges. If you could, why not try to pay them on time?

3. Compare prices before you buy an item. – If you have an important purchase to do, check out online all possible sites you know and compare prices. if you do a good research, you will be able to get a good value for your money.

4. Budget your money. – You sure know how much income you get each month. So live within your own means. Know what a portion of the money goes to food, rent, allowances of the kids and other bills. This would avoid you from spending beyond your limits.

5. Save electricity at home – I bet you know how to save electricity at home. Some people arew just too stubborn. If you can lower your electric bill, wouldn’t be a big help?

6. Make wise purchases – Trying to save money does not mean not spending them. It’s just knowing how to use them wisely. If you need eyeglasses, the most recommended seller is ZenniOptical. They sell quality eyeglasses for as low as $8. Now that’s what I call a good purchase!

Home Bound

Not-A-Random Girl — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 03:14:52 +0000

I will be going home this weekend. When I say home, I am referring to the place where I grew up and where my family currently resides. The last time I went home was last July when a relative of mine passed away. I was only there for a few days to pay my final respects. This weekend, I decided to go home and spend some time with my family. I should be back in a few days (or weeks). I am not sure yet. But no worries, my blogging activities would still be as active as ever. But I have to compete with my siblings for the only functioning computer at home. lol
