Shop Easily

I love Facebook! I recently found some long lost friends on Facebook, friends whom I haven’t seen in more than 3 years. It turns out that many of them decided to stay on and build a life in Australia after our graduation and some were happily settled down there already with their own families. I also found out that one of my old friends actually set up her own online business selling lovely hand made crocheted items such as baby shawls, scarves and others. I was quite surprised as she wasn’t very IT savvy in Uni but she told me that she found a fantastic shopping cart software programme that provided her a great edge and boost to her business. It organized her site into an easy to use format and the interface made it really easy for her to add any new products that she had. Plus, the secure and easy to use feature actually boosted her sales as customers who loved her products and sites made many return visits. I’m really glad that she found something that allowed her to work from home as well! That would be my ultimate dream!

Own Bed is Best

Sometimes although travelling all the time sounds glamorous, it does come with its cons as well. One of them includes not having the luxury of sleeping in my own comfortable bed. Luckily most of the time, I travel and stay in pretty good hotels so I don’t usually have a problem with the spring or foam mattress they provide. However, some older or cheaper hotels have really bad mattresses that are all saggy and soft and can make sleeping on them a real nightmare! After all that travelling, nothing really beats the comfort of my own bed!

Lovely Fittings

I recently went to London for work. Although we had some hectic days, I was really glad I found some time to visit an old friend of mine in his new place. He gave me a tour of his little flat he was sharing with two other people and I was really impressed to see the lovely fittings it came with. He had splurged on nice luxury home décor items such as a Bose home theater, Brabantia dustbins and a set of Henkel knives. I’d love to have a place like that too!

Long Walk

I just arrived in London just a few hours ago. After having to walk such a long way from the airport gate just to get to the immigration, I’ve learnt that it really pays to have luggages with wheels or a utility cart to carry all your belongings in. Otherwise the walk can be very long and tiring especially if you’re traveling with children or have a lot of bags to carry. Luckily most luggages today come with good wheels installed. It makes life a lot easier when traveling!

Travel Funds

Sometimes I used to wonder how some lower income level earners in my office could afford to go for expensive holidays especially since they still had school going children who would definitely need the money for their school expenses and books. Later I found out that some of them were actually living beyond their means by using payday loans to help themselves meet their monthly expenses while being able to travel on holidays as well. I was surprised to hear that as I’m very prudent by nature and wouldn’t dream of taking on loans if I didn’t have to. As it is, having a housing loan to my name is already tough enough! What more additional interest payments on payday loans?! Personally, it’s always better live within your means and spend only what you have. Life’s too short to be living in debt to others and there’s always a lot of risk if interest rates could move the wrong way.
