Cook and Brew.

When we got married, our wedding favors were customized and were personally done by us. Actually, we just source inspirations and ideas from wedding guides, bought raw materials then we painstakingly repackaged each of the paper soaps we bought to heart shaped bottles. We further wrapped it in a Sinamay basket then printed our customized card with our picture and wedding details. Not only we were able to save in heaps but the personal touch is indeed valuable.

If you are thinking of diversifying your financial portfolio and looking for means to expand your assets, browsing the informative pages of United States Gold Bureau is a good resource.  The link will actually lead you to their Facebook fan page where you can see their informative wall post feeds about gold coins, gold bullions, and other precious metals in other forms.  They have been existing since 2003 and has been true to their mission that they will help their clients be educated and guided in making the best decisions involving their precious metal investment and in securing their financial portfolios.  This is evidenced by thousands of overly satisfied, and now rich, gold investors as indicated in their testimonials.

I engaged with a bit of manic online shopping last week as a reward for myself for working hard last month.  I’ve shopped quite a number of nice tops and dresses but it seems that I can’t get enough.  I still find myself endlessly browsing apparel online shops in Facebook and also this shop that sells stylish urban clothes.  I don’t know but there’s something in me that I favor casual dresses so much these days.  Now if only I have lots of shopping money to spend, then, I and my closet would be the happiest.

I was searching for more recipes on the web when apparently I was lead to a blog post that stresses the importance of having a health insurance, social security, a Medicare plan or as what we refer to as HMO when I was still in the workforce.  It’s actually about a lady’s plight when she met an accident and they have to amputate her legs.   Since she’s already disabled and could not function well in her previous work, she was forced to resign.  She’s fortunate that the disability appeal she filed through Allsup was approved.  She got denied by SSA the first time she applied but thankfully, Allsup helped her get through with the appeal.

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." – JRR Tolkien.

This quote is indeed right and meaningful.  Of course, the term gold there does not pertain to gold coins, gold bars or gold bullions figuratively.  For me, this means that above all other material things, we must regard and value more the food that we need to eat over our whims and fancies.  After all, we need food to live and carry on with our daily lives, right?  But of course, it doesn’t say that we should just disregard our hard earned gold.  We also need financial power to buy food.  It’s actually a cycle but the emphasis is on the intensity of valuation and putting importance on.
