I was browsing through several fashion blog sites and came upon a feature called “Best of 2011″. Seeing all these lovely ladies (ehem, Miranda Kerr just gave birth?!) made me want to almost take out all the unused yoga mats in my closet and take them out from their yoga mat bags. Love this feature. I think it sums up 2011 quite perfectly, fashion and celebrity-wise. Onwards to 2012!

The model and new mom graced tons of glossy covers this year and walked in multiple runway shows, including Stella McCartney, Christian Dior, and Lanvin — not to mention the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show just last month. Not only does she look great on the runway, but she has enviable street style as well, always looking effortlessly chic and cool even while toting baby Flynn.

She had a big year, hitting the silver screen in Monte Carlo, embarking on a nationwide tour, and presenting and performing at various music awards shows — all while in risk-taking runway gowns and sleek, sophisticated hair and makeup.

Perhaps you live alone or are still living with your parents sharing a common bathroom; it can be a challenge making sure your bath vanities do not overflow with your vanity items.

If you can remodel or have the freedom to do what you want with the bathroom, there are a couple of things you need to think about first before buying the bath vanities you liked on the spot or the deal wholesale bathroom vanities are offering at the home depot.

1. Make a list of your needs – grooming, cosmetics, dental care, cleaning products, medical supplies – that need to be in the bathroom. This will help you determine how big or small you vanity will be.
2. Make sure to measure the space in your bathroom where your bathroom vanity will be placed in.
3. Decide on the style. But do not get caught up on the style too much, think of the traffic your bathroom will receive too. For example, double sink bath vanities are good choice in areas that receive high traffic (multiple users/family members). If kids will be using the vanity too, it will be wiser to get something that is durable to wear and tear and stains.
4. Don’t underestimate storage space. Get more vanity storage space than you think you need. In the years to come, you are often going to need more space than you have.

Decorating your bedroom should be an enjoyable task. Lighting plays a big part in any room in your house, but more so in the bedroom as it helps set the mood you want to have in your private sanctuary. You might bedside table lamps for a little night reading and to serve as your night lamp too. You can get the usual modern table lamps that have sleek lines and a chrome finish with a yellow light diffuser as a table lamps lighting fixture. It really would depend on you.

But here are some guidelines to help you choose. These are tips from Real Simple.

Height: The right size depends on the height of your night table, but most experts agree that to keep you from staring up into the shade, a bedside lamp shouldn’t top 30 inches when it’s next to a tall bed. If you like to read in bed, you’ll want the light to fall on the page, not in your partner’s eyes.

Base: A bedside lamp shouldn’t be flimsy, but it shouldn’t be hulking, either. You’ll need room on the table for an alarm clock, reading glasses, and your book, for example.

Positioning: Place the lamp close to the wall to make space on the table for other essentials.

Shade: Keep the shade small so you won’t bang into it when you’re fumbling for the alarm clock. Metal shades can help direct light onto a book but can seem cold in a bedroom. Fabric and paper shades are best.

Bulb: A two-bulb cluster allows you to use different wattages: one bright for reading, one dim for relaxing.

Sometimes when you feel like your home is in need of a makeover, all you need to do is re-arrange some furniture or add new lights and everything changes. This is the case when you use pendant lighting for your home. You can easily transform your home into a romantic or magical escape with pendant lights, suitable to the change of seasons.

Here’s how to use mini pendant lights:
1. The perfect areas to drape mini pendant lights are foyers, bathrooms, guest bedrooms and near hallways.

2. You can use empty baskets to put lights inside. Also consider baskets that are placed above eye level, such as those on top of kitchen cabinets, entertainment centers or shelves. Simply unwind a 50-light string and loosely position them inside the basket.

3. Decorate hanging wreaths by weaving pendant lights between the greens loosely. The same goes for topiaries and foliage areas. Floral swags generally need 20 to 35 lights.

4. Consider changing out clear mini light strings for colored strands or even twinkling lights when season changes (Christmas, Halloween, etc).

5. Match the cord color of the lights with the background of the project so that the lights and arrangement will stand out.

Flags can come in various shapes and sizes, and they’re used for a lot of other purposes aside from bearing the logos of countries, organizations, and groups. In fact, a lot of custom flags are often used for advertising purposes. Here are just some of them.

Pennant strings
These are combinations of small (usually) triangular flags attached to a single line or string. They are often hung in overhead spaces to serve as festive decors. While the traditional pennant strings are usually just made up of different but plain colors, those made by Discount Custom & Specialty Flags can come in a variety of shapes and prints.

Automotive flags
More similar to country flags, automotive flags are banners showcasing the logos and/or colors of certain car brands and manufacturers. They are often used to announce presence in car shows, car sales, and other events.

Feather flags
Because of their feather-like shape, feather flagss are some of the more attractive forms of custom flags available. Their shape is perfect for catching wind, while their size makes it convenient for people to read the message they contain. They can also be named message flags. Their design makes them attractive decors for wide open areas like beaches or resorts, thereby making these type of flags one of best types for advertising.

Cats are hunters by nature that’s why they love playing with cat toys. It’s one of the ways domestic cats practice their hunting skills. When we think our cats are playing, they are actually using the toys for mock hunting games.

Shopping for toys for cats can be a hard task, especially if you are not familiar with your cat’s playing preferences. Remember, all cats love to play, and there are all kinds of toys for cats. You just need to know under which type of cat your pet falls under. Cats tend to be most active either at dawn or dusk, so try playing with your cat just before bedtime. Interactive Types: These include toys such as fishing wand toys with birds, feathers or string at the end of a stick. Chase: These are usually balls, either plain or stuffed with some type of treat or bell. large dog beds Fabric: The most common type of fabric toy is the standard mouse. Some have a squeaker, noisemaker or catnip inside. Find ones that are small enough for your cat to toss in the air, but big enough that they can kick the toy once they catch it again. All these toys and even supplies for assembling a terrarium, can be mostly found on online stores like PremiumPetSupplies4U.com, a pet supplies plus store.

More than any time, it is these past few years to a decade that more and more emergencies have been happening. More often than not, only a handful of people are prepared to face these emergencies.

There are disasters that may not be controlled by human beings but there are still some things we can do to lessen the damage. Take for example storms which houses have been washed out, floods that took people’s lives, tornadoes that just hurled anyone and anything that it passed by into the air… they are natural disaster that are not easy control… they are not controllable at all.

If we cut less trees, though, there would be enough to hold the water underground. If we live in a place where there are hills and mountains, tornado will not hit. Those are some of the controls we can do as humans. Not crying over spilled milk, though, what else can we do if change of location is not part of the solution?

Protect your important stuff especially documents. If you have metal storage cabinets, you can put documents in a ziplock plastic and put them in the cabinet, together with some food that can be eaten without cooking, first aid kits, floaters and perhaps a rubber boat and an inflater (you don’t expect to blow it with your mouth, do you?) unless it’s automatic like those life vests in planes and ships.

It may still be hurled by a tornado but when it drops, you can still find your stuff intact. When it floods, your stuff are still together. When earthquake strikes, it will not just collapse (you can even stay by it and be safe unless the steel cabinets themselves fall down on you and is heavy enough to kill you). Instead of having a flammable storage cabinet, go for steel storage cabinets.
