Get Warm and Cozy this Valentines.

chihunter1.jpgAlrighty, the other day I posted about the usual gifts one can give for this coming Valentines Day. So I thought what other gift can I possibly give?

Then a thought hit me. Rugs! Before you raise your browse and say, “Huh?”, think it over. If you really can’t get out of the house to go somewhere this coming Valentine’s Day, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere by the fireplace would be a really good idea.

Imagine getting one of those beautiful Oriental Rugs and laying it down on your bedroom floor or maybe your study and adding some good throw pillows along with it, plus maybe a couple of crystal glasses with a sparkling bottle of champagne chilling in a bucket of crushed ice or just a good old red wine. You could even add some strawberries in a crystal bowl and some melted chocolate and some cream on another bowl. Then light up the fireplace to make the room cozy and then turning the lights off to set the romantic mood for the evening.

So this coming Valentines, why not keep those Area Rugs on your list and think it over? You can still make use of it even after the Valentines is over. ;)

The Five Dollar Wordpress Themes Club

While ShatteredPixie’s alter-ego Nika was surfing around looking for new wordpress themes to recommend, she stumbled onto Small Potato’s post regarding the upcoming Five Dollar Themes Club. YES, you heard me right. Its $5. For one year. For minimum of 12 Wordpress themes, not one, not two, not even ten. Its twelve minimum. Are you still sitting on your chair or have you fallen down already? ;)

What’s even better is that knowing Small Potato’s previous designs, these will not be cookie-cutter designs. Also what’s more interesting is that you re not required to keep link to his site in your footer, and you don’t have to obtain different licenses for different domains or even if you wanted to use it as a developer. There are NO other fees. And that’s all for just $5 for one whole year of membership.

Heh, that’s even cheaper than a year’s domain. So if you want better wordpress themes than the free ones you currently have, why not give Small Potato’s Five Dollar Theme Club a try?

P.S. Membership isn’t open yet. :) Slots open on the 23rd. ;) See you on there.

Jewelry this Valentines Day

Jewelry is one of the things I love to look for when I surf the internet. I don’t have much time to go out and do window shopping so I do it online. I was checking out some online catalogs and I remembered that its one of the great gifts one can give this coming Valentines Day. They’re sparkle and shine and they look wonderful. They also last for many years especially when taken care for properly. It can also be a good investment especially when its those rare and exquisite ones that you get.

Though diamonds are what people usually say a girl’s best friend, some of the new items in the Aquamarine Jewelry catalog caught my eye. They look really elegant and great for any occasion. Just look at these sparkling and dazzling eye candies:

Off course, I didn’t miss checking out those Amethyst Jewelry they had since I just love purple. Its exquisitely deep and rich vibrant color is what I like the most when I see amethyst stones plus it really looks like royalty. :)

Interestingly enough, they have products that are below $100 and they look quite elegant too. MyJewelryBox.com offers free Fedex delivery for those orders that are above $99, and they also have free gift packaging as well as a 30 day return option.

They also have some available resources in their site about jewelry education. From the diamond’s Four C’s: Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat, to learning about gemstones and metals. They also give information on how to properly care for your own jewelries to keep them sparkling and gorgeous for more years to come.

Now all I need is someone to buy me some of the items in there and my Valentines would be great. Those rings look really mouth watering, good thing I’m just looking at it through my screen or else… :D

Keeping tabs on your bets ;)

Online casino listings are quite abundant nowadays so I decided to look around the available directories (since I was a bit interested in maybe trying one, LOL) when I bumped into http://www.freecasinos.ws. Imagine my surprise at the huge Casinos list that they have there! Lol. Keeping up with a blog can be tedious work, maintaining a Casino guide would even be harder.

 

Their site keeps record of each casino listing’s accepted nationalities, bonuses, software used, currency used as well s reviews for each one. It’s definitely a must see guide in case you’re interested in finding reviews on an online casino you are interested in or maybe if you’re trying to find one to play in.
