I know there is no such thing as a perfectly planned IT budget but did you know that problems can be minimized by using an IT Financial Management solution? Yes, you read it right. If you find it hard to manage the project costs and expenses, then you better get a solution that will help you – an IT Cost Management solution such as ComSci’s IT Budget Forecaster. By using this solution you have the ability to automate your IT Budget. This is perfect for organizations that operate across multiple geographic locations since it provides real-time data results. Assembling, tracking, analyzing and reporting IT budgets would be a breeze. These cost management can be an ITIL Financial Management so you can be assured that this is based on the ITIL standards. Now, if you have already an existing corporate planning solution which most of the companies have, you can interface both of these solutions and will allow the users to forecast and manage expenditures at an IT sub ledger and G/L level, and dynamically manage monthly salary planning, supply chain & project spending. This is amazing! Because with this solution you have a total control over the IT cost and because of this, you now have the ability to improve current business processes which will hopefully lead to more income.

I have a few girlfriends who are celebrating their birthdays a few weeks apart.I cannot give expensive gifts or I will go broke so I have been scouring birthday gift delivery ideas online. I have been drooling over these very delicious baskets from Berries.com for such a long time. I think it’s about time I get one for myself and give them away for gifts – pretty affordable too!

Nail polish and nail art seem to be the trend these days. I have a lot of friends who have been hoarding a lot of polishes and I was even lured into buying some OPI polishes and the famous OPI Crackle.

I actually am trying to control myself and not buy more but I think I will be able to justify buying the ESSIE black and nude polishes. I’d love to buy more colors but do not really need to look like a peacock alley.

Here are some polishes under $5:
1. Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color
2. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color
3. Pure Ice Nail Polish
4. American Apparel Neon Nail Lacquer
5. OPI Nail Lacquer

I have seen a lot of great things at Fashion Week’s stills this week and one of them is the GAP Spring/Summer Collection for 2012. The Dokmee document management software I have been learning need to be set aside because I needed to drool over these colors!

Stripes and colorblock clothes are still trending and so do plaid shirts but for men this time.

October is known as Breast Cancer Awareness month and usually, retailers and business companies support this cause by putting out limited edition women’s products, usually in the color pink – the cause’s chosen color. All proceeds go to cancer research and organizations which support breast cancer patients and survivors. I have heard organizations hold raffles, auctions, garage sales consisting of designer clothes, shoes and refurbished laptop computers all with the same goal: to help raise breast cancer awareness.

Some products you can support:
1. Available at all H&M stores with that carry H&M lingerie. Bra, ($10) Brief, ($5) — 25% of proceeds from this collection will benefit the American Cancer Society to help in the fight against breast cancer.
2. Rebecca Taylor Cami for the Cure Top ($235) — 50% of the proceeds will go directly to raise awareness and funds for the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation, dedicated to researching this aggressive form of breast cancer.
3. Lola James Pink Rock Candy Necklace ($48) — 20 of each sale is sent to Race for The Cure to raise awareness and to find a cure for this disease.

A woman’s wedding dress is what you can consider a woman’s singular best dress in her lifetime. This is why all women go a little crazy when shopping for THE wedding dress. One of the best places to shop for one is online. Even though nothing beats shopping dresses in real life since you can try on the dress and feel the fabric and generally just see if it works, shopping for wedding dresses online can also work.

Here are some tips when shopping for a wedding dress online:
1. Do your research. There are hundreds of wedding shops online. Check out feedback and reviews from actual customers of the site – testimonials, forum posts. Find out their return policy. Call their store – this is better than having to correspond via e-mail especially since you will be entrusting to them the shipping and handling of your wedding dress, moreso if you are going to have it custom-made.
2. When it comes to the concern about not being able to try the wedding gowns on ahead of time to make sure the style suits you. That’s what the bridal stores are for. Go try on all the styles available – sleeveless and long sleeves, straight and sleek or big and full, ivory and white, short, long, with trains and without. Then armed with your notes, go online and find the one you want.
3. Do not shop at an online store that no physical address and landline number you cannot call to confirm.
4. Shop for a dress that can be sized up and down. Most wedding dresses can be altered up to two sizes in either direction.
5. Order early. Even if you shop online, there will be a great chance that the dress will take some time to be available and get shipped. Your choice isn’t guaranteed to be “on the rack” all the time, especially if it’s a popular style.
6. One important tip – make sure you measure right. Instead of measuring yourself, go to a local seamstress and have your measurements taken!

I have been quite obsessed with my hair lately. I have been losing hair strands at an alarming rate and I am trying to recondition my hair to prepare myself for another digital perm (hair curl) again. However, I am not sure I can if my hair stays this way. Maybe I should try bumble and bumble hair care products soon. I have read great reviews about their hair care line.

There are two groups of people I believe during the holiday season. One tries to make sure they settle all debts and have all their business credit cards back to zero balance before the new year while the other swipes the card like there is no tomorrow to make sure they have everyone covered on the Christmas wish list.

I would like to think we fall on the first group. We have had our experience of before and it took us a while to enlist for credit repair from financial institutions. It is a good thing that we got to fix credit debt before it went out of hand so we can enjoy the best credit card deals from citibank credit cards!

Here are some ways to save during the holidays:

  1. Organize your list.
  2. Use the envelope system.
  3. Shop after Christmas.
  4. Shop for Travel Early.
  5. Informal holiday dinners

Cell phone boosters are mostly known for the great solution it brings to people who are having problems with signals. A cell phone booster is more likely an external antenna attached to the mobile through a coax cable and an amplifier. Cell phone boosters are not just used for mobile phones but also for computer air cards. A faster way to achieve this without going through these connections is the Wilson Electronics 3 Watt cell booster. It is a direct connect adapter for your mobile phones or air cards that is ready to plug. A simple and easy way to get that signal boost up.

On the other hand, what makes people confused is the term cell phone repeater. This should not be mixed up with the cell phone booster. It is actually a kit that consists of gadgets that will be attached to your chosen device. Inside the kit, you can find an outside antenna, an inside antenna, and an amplifier for AC or DC power. Keep in mind however, that each and every device, may it be a mobile or a PC air card, will need a suitable port in order to attach the adapter. Each one has a specific port that you need to distinguish before buying the said product.

These products are absolutely user friendly! The reason why it has two antennas is that the outside antenna is for receiving incoming calls, while the inside antenna is for outgoing calls. Both antennas work separately and differently that will surly give you that satisfaction you need.


After seeing the color gray emerge as a fall color trend, it seems that the color yellow is becoming a trend color as well. It is a great accessory color to fall’s dark hues (gray, black) and even white. It can even serve as a great energizer and pick-me-upper as it is the same color as the sun. (And we all know how much we miss the sun in the colder months). With this hue, however, you would not need an appetite suppressant to be able to wear it with grace as it can be a part of your outfit is big or small doses.

1. Let it take centerstage in your wardrobe/outfit.
This fall, pair a bright yellow sweaters or coats with a more neutral pieces like a black leather skirt or dark jeans.

2. Accessorize.
Wearing accessories is a great way to add a pop of color whether it’s through bangles, a whimsical necklace, or cocktail rings.

3.Try a little bit of color – on your bag, or belt for example.

4. Buy outerwear in this hue.
Outwear such as coats, jackets and sweaters take centerstage this season and most invest on classic colored pieces. Splurge on a yellow coat! A great way to add both a bit of color and a statement piece to your wardrobe is to score add a yellow coat to your closet.
