Let me give you a trivia about myself: I hate shopping. I hate walking, window-shopping in the malls and buying in cash. However, ever since I discovered the ease and beauty of online shopping, I have become a shopping convert. Truth be told, I think shop every week. And I dread to say that I shop big whenever there are big sales on stores online. Who wouldn’t? The deals are awesome, you get to shop within the comforts of your own home, in your pajamas, ANYTIME (I love shopping during early mornings when the kids and my husband are asleep – it helps me concentrate on choosing what to buy. It also lessens the guilt when I don’t see them!), get free shipping when you buy a certain amount and if you do your research, you can get online coupon codes to get more deals and save more.

That is one of the many reasons why I love shopping online!

I actually discovered the joy of coupon codes through a friend who has been shopping online for a long time. She advised me before buying anything to look for coupon codes – there are a lot of codes online. Most of the time, you can just search “store name” coupon codes in a search engine (I love Google), and you will find a lot of results on  Online Shopping Coupons. You might need to try a lot of codes before you can get a working one but the savings you will get are worth it.

I stick with tried and tested sites which compile valid coupons though, like Shopaneer. Beauty Coupons are always a hit with me since I love shopping for skin care, hair care, beauty products and make-up online. Unlike clothes, these products require no fitting for me and since I have my list of tried and tested brands, shopping online is a breeze. I love deals so I love whenever there are freebies and coupons I get to use!

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. It is definitely an asset to a person. It is no wonder women go to extra length to accentuate their eyes – with eye make-up, nicely-shaped and groomed eyebrows and thick eyelashes. I have been one of those unfortunate souls who were born with short lashes. I have come to grow accustomed to wearing mascara everyday to accentuate whatever is with me in the first place but I always wish if I can have false eyelashes glued to my true ones everyday and it wouldn’t be as expensive and time-consuming.

I heard about eyelash extentions phoenix when I searched about eyelash extensions. For $79.00 a set, you will have semi-permanent eyelashes extension phoenix that is guaranteed to last for two to three months. In doing eyelashes extensions phoenix, natural hair semi-permanent lashes are individual natural hairs that are applied with surgical glue, the length of which can be discussed with your technician before application.

See for yourself the before and after pictures:

If you have long lashes to begin with, but would want them to be thickened a bit, you can try having them tinted so that you would not have to apply mascara all the time. It will also look more natural.

It could work to your advantage if you are multi-lingual. It seems almost everybody is bilingual these days, learning their primary native language and English, the universally accepted language in the whole world. These days, most Asians like Koreans and Japanese flock to the country to learn English. You can always get translation services but it would still be better if you knew the language a little bit.

There is a translation service called Translia for their translation projects. Your assigned translator guarantees to meet deadlines and if it isn’t met, they give amazing discounts. The work is never stopped until the client is satisfied.

It pays to be multi-lingual so it is advisable to learn a third or fourth language.

The kids’ collection Stella McCartney designed for Gap hits stores November 2. Sizes are for newborns up to 12-year-olds and prices range from $14 for wool tights up to $128 for a military jacket. Some pieces are cheap, miniature versions of McCartney’s ready-to-wear pieces, such as a gray sweater dress with a leopard on it, skinny gray jeans with ankle zippers, and a gray cable-knit cardigan dress.

For years now I’ve wanted to create a collection for kids,” said Stella, who’s a mother of three herself. “I think it has a mix of playful and practical. I tried to create a whole kids wardrobe. There are pieces that are classic and sort of timeless and hopefully very chic, mixed with more playful and a little bit cooler pieces.

Ever see your kids donning these outfits while traveling, let’s say to dominican republic vacations?
