I truly wanted to go to my favorite shoe store in Silverthorne Factory Outlets today but by the time we were done with our chores, it was late already.I still can’t get over the fact that I once bought a very lovely pair of evening shoes there for only $5.It was really a good find!I have been wishing that they have a website so I can just shop online and check out their online shopping deals.I am sure there will be lots of good deals if ever they will have a website.This way, too I can also buy more pair of shoes and earn more cash back rebates from this favorite shoe store of mine.
I tell you, there are just a lot of special shops in Silverthorne Factory Outlets which have good deals. My friends who have been there many times can vouch for that! I just love hopping from one shop to another and it is easier for me to do comparison shopping.I always compare products from one store to another to get the best deal, and in so doing I can save big bucks.Oh well, I hope we can go up there and check out my favorite outlet stores in the near future.
Spring is definitely here and it’s time to green your home.I don’t really have a green thumb but I still do my best to have real plants in our home.We have a plant here that even if you won’t water it for months, it is still thrives and lives.In fact, hubby and I are planning to get an additional pot and soil, so we can make it into two pots.So, we will see how this feat goes.
As what I have learned from watching HGTV, most interior decorators find it “tacky” to have fake plants in your home.They always prefer real potted plant for it can add life to a room.Would you believe that plants are actually more than accent pieces, they can make you healthier.I also learned from prevention.com that research studies find the feel-good effects of houseplants, from boosting your creativity to beating the sniffles.
Experts say that you should have as much green as possible.Here are some best plants to have in every room and its health benefits.Blooms away!
Plants to fight stress – Researchers believe that just seeing greenery calms us down.In one study, people in a room of plants had a 4-point drop in their systolic blood pressure after taking a stressful test.
Bamboo palm
Chinese evergreen
Arrowhead Vine
Snake Plant
Devil’s Ivy
Plants to Cut Exposure to Harmful Chemicals – When plants take in oxygen and carbon dioxide, they also pull in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), toxins that are released by cleaning supplies, printers, and other household items.
Janet Craig
Sweet Chico
Kentia Palm
Plants to Fight Colds – Small openings on the underside of plant’s leaves release moisture into the air, boosting humidity to alleviate cold symptoms.
English Ivy
Heart-leaf Philodendron
Fragrant Dracaena
Peace Lily
African Violet
Plants to Boost Creativity – In a study, women who worked in a room decorated with two potted plants and a bouquet of flowers generated 13% more ideas than women in a room with abstract sculptures. Studies show that plants are a mood booster, and good moods are associated with higher levels of dopamine, the hormone that controls the flow of information throughout the brain.
One of the things my hubby likes about spring and summer times are the Trade Shows. One of the big shows that are in our city is the Denver Auto Show. Of course, my hubby whose career is working on cars and trucks tries not to miss it. This year he decided to go with his friend to the trade show displays.
When he arrived back home, he said that some of the exhibit booths at the show looked cheap and others looked very professional. He noticed that the booths made and set by Camel Back Displays were the most professional looking. He said that if we were ever to have a business of our own and we needed a product to display our items; this would be a good company to look into. With their logo floor mats, it is a sure bet to catch your eye. Their truss set-up is perfect for displaying your product and it is designed to make sure your exhibit booth will stand out better than the others. It kind of makes you excited to start some kind of company to go around and sell a product at trade shows.
My hubby may come up with that kind of product that can be used by anyone and you can bet he would use Camel Back products to make his booth stand out from the rest. He is very smart and who knows, that product that everyone must have might be just around the corner.
We went out to Old Chicago for our usual Friday dinner and this time with hubby’s former workmate, Michael and his two girls – Steffanie and Haley.We usually have pizza dinner with these guys here at home at least once a month.However, we decided to dine out for a change.Well, we have actually been out with them a couple of times before so this is nothing new.
This picture of the girls with their impish smiles was taken last year. We are just so glad that our little girl can play with Michael’s girls once in a while.These girls are a little bit wild but they still are good kids.Kate is just so happy to be with them.They never stop giggling and shrieking in laughter when they are all together.The fun always turns sour comes parting time because all three of them cry (Sheesh!) as if they won’t see each other again.Yeah, it was good to see the Revettes' again.
We were wondering what you do when your value of the dollar keeps going down.What if the dollar is worth no money at all?Some say this could happen.We found out that gold is like universal money and when the dollar devalues, gold goes up in price.While looking on line for the best solution to this problem we found a company called the Australian Bullion Company.
I was thinking about a book I read a few years ago about diversifying your money or assets and not putting your money in one place.This company looks like a great option to fulfill our needs as a place to put some of our savings for safe keeping.Investing in gold coins is one of the great options offered and I think it would be very cool to own some gold like this.What is also so very nice about this company is it’s convenient that you can buy gold from them and they will store and insure your gold while providing you with a certificate of ownership.They even will send reports on your savings.
I think that this a great option for us and we look forward to buying gold bars Sydney.We can sit and watch our investment gain value.Gold over the years has shown growth and to be a stable investment.We look forward to have the extra funds needed to possibly send our daughter to college and plan for our retirement.This is absolutely a secure and definite investment for us and that makes me very excited.
Do you know that Avocado is considered as one of the healthiest foods?Surprisingly, these luscious green fruits are full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat that can help lower both total and “bad” cholesterol.They contain health-promoting caretenoids, rich in Vitamin E and Potassium, and contain some fiber to help fill you up.
Anyways, here are more facts about Avocados:
They contain plant chemicals and antioxidants, all of which contribute to good health.
A medium size of the fruit has 30 grams of fat and even though it is the healthy kind, it can add lots of extra calories if you don’t watch your portion size and balance it with other wise food choices.
Here are some tips on how to prepare the fruit:
Slice avocados into salads;
Float slices or cubes of avocado on top of soups; or
Use avocado instead of butter, cream cheese, or mayonnaise on breads, bagels, and sandwiches.
I remember in the Philippines, we used to eat Avocados all the time.We have several trees in my late grandmother’s farm.We used to go there and bring home sacks of the said fruit.I can say that I had my fill of Avocado that I am not into it right now, though I like Guacamole – mm, mm, mm!
My hubby is in his early 40’s and I’m not far behind.We cannot help but think of our future and planning for retirement.My hubby says even in the down economy that investing in real estate is the safest bet.In the long run, real estate will always gain value.We discussed it and agreed that someplace warm and fun would be an option to have investment property. It could possibly be our future home
A year ago we went to Las Vegas and found not only could we have the excitement of Vegas, but not so far away there is peace and quiet in the local neighborhoods surrounding Vegas.We also found that there are many scams surrounding the purchase of property.If we were to buy a home there, we would need to employ reliable agencies like Envision Lending Group, Inc to not only protect our investment but to find us that quality home we are looking for.We found that Envision Lending Group, Inc not only would met our needs but exceed our expectations.They offer a direct link to finding a foreclosure home at a very good value to purchase and use as an investment property if we desired to.
Later when it’s time for our retirement, it would really be awesome if we could have the option to move to warm sunny Las Vegas. We can enjoy our years of retirement together with a property that has played for itself. My hubby is always dreaming of ways to make our investments go a long ways and Envision Lending Group, Inc will help us realize this dream. They are someone that could handle our needs if it comes to time for us to make a real estate investment in Las Vegas. The prospect of living in Vegas is exciting and who knows, our future may take us there. It could be dream come true.
My girl and I just got back from our short walk in the neighborhood.It was just so perfect today.The sunset casts a golden glow on the swaying trees and fresh green grass.If only I have worn my sneakers and we could have taken a longer walk.Yet, it feels so good after our little hike today, and I know that bug had fun, too.I hope we could do it again and again for the rest of the spring, summer and fall.
How about you, guys?Did you also have perfect weather today?I hope so.I also hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday. Enjoy the rest of the day you all!

That's my little girl in one of her playful poses from our Mother's Day trek yesterday. We went out for a short road trip to Silverthorne and Dillon.
Hubby brought us to the Outlet Store in Silverthorne and there, we just checked out some of our favorite shops there. I was kind of apprehensive about the weather yesterday since it was gloomy here in Denver, but up there it was just so gorgeous!
It was so good to be back in one of our favorite restaurants there. Pug Ryan's has the most delicious prime rib in Colorado, I should say. What is cool about this restaurant/bar is that they also brew their own beer.
All in all, we all had a great time with my special day! It was FUN and thanks to hubbypie for making it all happened. YOU'RE THE BEST!
