Their prom is a few months to go and we need to raise funds to be able to pay for our share. By their I mean my eldest child and her classmates. Yes, she is having her prom next year and being in the Juniors class mean they will shoulder all the expenses. *shudders in horror*

So far we’ve, I mean I’ve sold tickets that will help start to fund the fund. We have another batch of tickets to dispose but seeing how everyone seems to be busy spending their money elsewhere, this is going to be a hard sell and the daughter needs to go to other persons who will buy the tickets since I’ve almost saturated “my market”.

Good thing we already have a dress, a borrowed one of her own color (they chose which gown color they will use to avoid duplication). This didn’t stop me from peeking at online sites like www.tjformal for prom dresses for ideas though.

I hope we would be able to raise funds for the prom’s fee because we still have hair and makeup expenses to think about.

Sigh…

Have you been getting ready for the coming Christmas season?

One of the things that are important for some people is the way they look when the holidays are here. I’m sure a lot of those online discount vouchers are doing brisk business in time for the holidays.

Some of the bestsellers are the following:

• resort getaways for the coming summer and after-the-holidays no work days
• “beauty” coupons like the best eyelash enhancers, whitening, tightening, facial skin care and waxing procedures as well as dental procedures
• gadgets
• food/restaurant vouchers

These would be great gifts for your loved ones too! Just don’t give your overweight aunt those lipo-thing vouchers or she might feel insulted.

I asked the hubby to print out vouchers that I plan to use soon because these are expiring early next month.

Two coupons are for a foot/body massage while the other two are for a Japanese Restaurant. I still have another restaurant coupon I won in a raffle draw (yey!) and this needs to be used too.

I am glad we are able to save when we buy deals that interest us. These online discount deals  benefit us who are interested to “shop” and buy deals with the click of the mouse.  Two months ago we ordered music players and these were even delivered at home. (another yey!)

I am pretty sure those who like discount codes for Personal Creations will agree with me.I just wish we have these coupons where we live because I would definitely be shopping more for less.

I hope these online sites will be here for a bit longer so we consumers can save on purchases. As long as the deals are simple and attractive then these sites surely has a long way to go. For me, I ALWAYS read the fine print before clicking on the “buy” button.

The kids are adventurous when trying new products and it is not a surprise that they wanted to try Jollibee  Hash Brown Burger. This is a burger patty with baked hash brown as buns. Interesting?

Let’s see what the Hash Brown Burger is made of:

Two baked hash browns with a beef patty, cheese and ketchup in between. I took a wee bite and it felt heavy. Must be very filling, this one.

I’m sure all those with big appetite will like this one so much so they will order these burgers plus these desserts as special delivery for grandpa’s birthday

We have been using lemongrass in more ways than one.

For the kids, the product Stingless Citronella Oil to ward off the mosquitoes that may cause dengue.

For cooking, we love lemongrass in mussels, chicken tinola and Hainanese Chicken.

For drinks, I put lemongrass stalks in juices and even in water to make it more refreshing. When I have allergies, I drink a cup of warm water, steep a stalk or a little  bulb of lemongrass, a tablespoon of honey and a garlic slice in the water to relieve myself from all these uncomfortable feeling. It works like a miracle!

I still have a lot to read about the benefits of lemongrass on skin care if it works fine with skin conditions like the way psoriasis products or skin cleansing products work.

I know lemongrass can be used for pets with fleas and help sooth tired muscles.

We love lemongrass. Obvious, isn’t it?
