New sexy you!
Sexy is not only physical but it can also be mental. When you think sexy thoughts, chances are you will feel sexy. Channel your thoughts to your partner, wear a sexy lingerie perhaps, and talk sexy… see the effects and it will make you smile a sexy smile!
I am telling you this based on experience. Personal as well as experiences of friends. Be a new sexy you this coming year!

The good life
This coming year, one of my goals is getting a cheap car insurance for the car that we have. I will also get life insurances for me and my dad. I want to do the right thing this coming year. I want to start living the good life. I am 30 now and living the right way is something that I should focus on from now on.

Baby shower
My cousin will be giving birth in three months’ time. As early as now, we are preparing a baby shower party for her. I am talking to our other cousins so that the baby shower gifts we will giving her will form part of the nursery already. It will be a big savings for her and her husband should we give the necessary items that her baby will need.
I am planning on giving her a baby crib and bedding set. This will be a big savings for them because as you all know, a baby crib and bedding set package cost a lot these days. So to help them alleviate their costs, I intend to buy them a package for the little baby coming.
My other cousin told me that she will be giving them a walker. Another one will be giving baby blankets. And many more practical gifts for the mom-to-be and their little baby.
Now, if you are looking for baby shower gifts, you can go to the Discount Kid Store. It carries everything for the expecting mom. They have a large selection of Baby Shower Gift, Diaper Bags, Cribs, Toy Chest, and Baby Furniture for you to choose from. I told my cousins that we can all buy our baby shower gifts here. Go and check out DiscountKidStore.com now.

The party planner
I am currently racking my brain for party ideas. Two of my cousins will be celebrating their wedding anniversaries this coming September. Both cousins, with just a week in between. Since both of them claims that I am their favorite cousin, and I am known among family and friends as the party planner, they are leaving me with the responsibility of organizing an anniversary party for both of them!
I don’t know when this started, my propensity for organizing parties. All I can remember is being thrilled to be asked to help prepare family parties. I love suggesting ideas to make a party lively and fun till the end. When I turned seventeen, I just found myself organizing kiddie parties of my little cousins. That started this trend of assigning me that role.
One of the cousins I mentioned will be celebrating 10th wedding anniversary. It will be huge because my cousin-in-law, the husband, wants a really big party. The couple are still in love with each other and they want the whole world to know about it. I envy them, truth to tell. The other cousin will be celebrating their 3rd wedding anniversary. In contrast with the other party, this one will be a simple brunch for family and friends.
It will be a big role to undertake but I love the challenge. Plus, there is Celebrations.com where I can get great ideas for the two parties.

Planning a theme party?
I have mentioned in my previous post that I am asked to help organize parties of relatives whose birthdays are coming up. One of these particular relatives is a spinster cousin who will be turning 35 this coming October. She wants to celebrate her birthday in style so I believe she will be having a theme party.
You know, with all the brouhaha surrounding the Sex and the City movie, and she is a huge fan of Sarah Jessica Parker, she wants a Sex and the City theme party! Not very original, I know. I was able to attend the same theme party a couple of years ago, when the tv show was still running and a major hit. It was a great party that is flamboyant but chic! I can still remember the party favors given… a pair thongs! I tell you, I still have those thongs with me. It was a Victoria’s Secret special that the party planner ordered months in advance. Plus the food and drinks were overflowing. The party was lively, no dull moment for every person in attendance.
This is the very party where I was introduced to a couple of party planners who eventually told me about Celebrations.com, a premier web site where one can get useful tips for planning a theme party. Go visit the site if you are in the process of planning a party, okay?

Parties for relatives
I am not exactly sure why but most of us in the family are having our birthdays by the second half of the year. At least five cousins are even having it by September. So you can just imagine the amount of parties, albeit simple dinners or brunches usually, we attend. I am even asked to help in most occasions. I love being a part of these parties because I am close to most of my relatives. I love the camaraderie that we share. And there is a part of me that is hoping our closeness, bonding will not change over time. It is good to have your favorite persons in the world to be near you, especially in times when you need their support the most.
So being asked to help prepare for the parties thrills me. I would gladly drop whatever I am doing to help. Of course, there is Celebrations.com, a party planning web site that I always turn to when I need to help with a party. Celebrations.com is the place for expert advice and fun, simple planning tools for your next party.
If you are in need of planning tools for the next party you are organizing or will help to organize, be sure to check out Celebrations.com and see what they can suggest and help you with.

Doubting Bessie
Bessie paints. She sketches as well. With her many works of art, we’ve been pestering her to display some of it. Even those ones she is willing to display for everyone to see. We are asking her to put some of her sketches in picture frames, especially those sensual sketches that she did. A work of art indeed, I tell you! I will see if I can convince her to put up even one of it here. She is a bit shy with her works and we are really hoping that she overcomes it. She is really good. She just cannot accept that fact yet.

A now famous friend
I was reading a magazine when I was shocked to see the face of a long lost friend of mine. Apparently, she is a big person nowadays, quite popular with tv networks here in the country. She’s doing closed captioning and is best known for writing a best selling novel about an abused celebrity in the country. It was a joy actually to read about all her achievements. And how she rose above the challenges that she faced along the way.

Mom’s Day

I love my mom! If it wasn’t for her (and my dad, of course) I would not be here, alive and kicking! My mom loves me unconditionally. When I was a kid, my dad was really the strict one. If I did something wrong and my mom knew my dad will get mad at me, she will make sure to talk to dad first so that he wouldn’t get too hard on me. And my young mind retained those memories of my mom being my mediator.
Now that I am a grown up already, my mom is still there for me whenever I need her. I live on my own now, away from my parents. But do you know that whenever I feel something wrong, for some reason, my mom will know about it? She would call me up out of the blue and would ask me how I am doing. I would then blurt out whatever is ailing me or keeping me awake at night and she’d know what to do. Or out of the blue, she’d send someone to my condo unit and would send me a box of homemade cookies or a bowl of soup. That’s my mom!
That’s why this coming Mother’s Day, I am giving her a mothers day basket from 1800-Flowers.com. The site has flowers, gifts and gift baskets for your mother or mothers you know.
The basket I will give her includes…
- Assortment of delicious seasonal snacks includes lemon cookies, lemonade drink mix, citrus candies, Provence snack mix and a flower cookie
- Arrives in a reusable pastel woven tote they can use later at the beach or as a stylish handbag
- Tote measures 8″H x 7″W x 10″L
Check out 1800-Flowers.com now and go get your mom a gift basket as well!
