A Homemaker’s Diary

Wouldn’t it be lovely to go on an
all inclusive vacation once a while? To relax and unwind, not having to worry about giving tip or taking your wallet anywhere. Enjoying an endless array of land and water sport (well, that’s not for me anyway) but having facial, massage, pedicure and manicure on the Caribbean vacation, oh, how I wish for that..

How wonderful would it be for me to try the Stone Therapy Massage. Said to be the perfect way to achieve total relaxation. The energetic rocks warmed in aromatic oils are used to melt away tension, resulting in a totally relaxed warming experience.

After that I would go for the Caribbean Hue “Blue Mahoe Signature Facial” – a detoxifying facial which is believed to be the perfect post-stressed treatment.

Sadly the all inclusive vacation package like this does not permit children. So I have to let go of my wish for now and wait till my son goes to college (which will take about 17 years to come..huhu!), unless Hubby is willing to stay home and look after our son while I go on Carribean vacation..heh!

I was watching Chef At Home tonight while waiting for the next round of cartoon that my son likes to watch when Chef Michael showed how he made a simple chocolate cake into a dump truck theme birthday cake for his 5-year-old son..cool idea which I hope I could emulate in few years time..heh!

Anyway, for those who are looking for great birthday ideas, perhaps a read through at the website will spark new ideas in your mind. A gift basket sounds like a normal stuff but if it comes with a gift card that says something like “never have to lift a finger today, Mom!”, that would be very touching and sweet.

Imagine having a day off as a mom, that would be something I would treasure so much.

Or if you are really out of ideas on what to do during your kids coming birthday party, a theme like spaceship or safari would be a joy for those curious and imaginative mind. If you have a bunch of creative children coming over for the birthday bash, you should consider throwing something like crayon or face painting party.

For the special man in your life, you can opt for something romantic like a couple massage. If you are the fun type who wouldn’t mind the extra effort, call a catering service (who would want to slave in the kitchen while others are enjoying themselves with the food and drinks?), invite friends to hang out and socialize, be it over a board game or dancing.

Who says being a year older means less fun?

I happened to stumble upon a site that sell a lot of great cell phone cases. Check out the picture below.

The above design for Apple iPhone 3G 3GS Case is named as White Spring Flower Faceplate. Free shipping for those in US.

The thing is I really need another phone at the moment. I kept on changing the SIM cards in and out from my Sony Ericsson phone to make personal call and to receive business related calls and SMS from students and clients since I only have one good phone at the moment. My old Ipaq died on me about a month ago..huhu! I miss that phone which has stylus which makes my life easier to send lengthy text to my craft students.

Should I get an iPhone to replace the Ipaq? I don’t like to learn technology like that touch screen..huhu!

I found this making money ads online which called itself Flip Switch Profits. It is a unique, new, simple system to make money online that even a complete newbie can get their head around – as it doesn’t require all the usual stuff. You don’t need a website, you don’t need to be a ‘techie’ and you don’t need any start-up cash.

So reading further, here are the steps on how the system works:

1) Locate web sites with email lists AND an affiliate program that don’t send out quality free, content to their email list every week (they are EVERYWHERE online)

2) Contact them and offer to write them a weekly email newsletter for free (don’t worry you won’t have to write a word if you don’t want to) as long as they include your affiliate link to their product at the end of the newsletter

3) Each week you send them a newsletter and they send it out to their list of thousands,tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of subscribers

4) You make tons of cash as an affiliate without ever needing your own web site, product, marketing skills or any start up cash

The inventor of the program says that we might have to put in a few hours a week to keep this ticking over and generating consistent pay days. But a three or four hours a weeks work to earn tens of thousands in days is all he puts in.

Over a period of two months he started to test a new way of using the Flip Switch Profits business program. And, he claimed that within a few weeks his work was down to pretty much zero. It took ten minutes a day to ensure all things were in place.

Well, it sounds very tempting to me. After all it’s a great money making opportunity. Of course I would have to pay for the program for a one time fee of just $47. He also said that if you’re not completely satisfied, within 60 days, you can ask for a full refund. Plus, you can keep the ebook and instant business programs!

If I have $47 now, I would give it a try, but I am still way behind the payment time from my sponsored blogging..heh!

I’ve never heard about Dinovite until a few days ago through SocialSpark, ehem! Anyway, I know my friend Oli who has a dog would love to keep track which dog shampoo is good for her pet..heh! Like a doting mom, she would be happy to know that there is option for her furry friend to remain clean and smelling nice.

The all natural dog shampoo Dogosuds will help make your dog smell clean and wonderful for a long time. As it lathers beautifully, it also rinses easily.

The shampoo contains 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils that have natural, healing properties, thus works well for sensitive skin.

It has 4 exciting blends – Essential Oil Blend: natural flea and tick deterrent, soothing and healing, Lavender : naturally good for skin, good for coat, Peppermint/Tea Tree : natural flea and tick deterrent, soothing and healing and Unscented : if you don’t care for scented shampoos.

Most importantly it is a natural flea deterrent. The shampoo contains no chemicals, no perfumes, and no fillers that will irritate or dry your dog’s skin! And it also works great to remove skunk odor!

So if your dog is itching, scratching, has sores and hot spots, stinks beyond belief, experiencing constant excessive shedding, thus keeping you up all night or make you visit the vet more often than you should, check out the Dinovite website. You might find the remedy for all the doggy problem there.
