Parrot on a PorchA Journey Toward the Little Mansion Dream

To save on costs and as we have a little budget for our wedding five years ago, the husband and I decided that we create our own invitations, misalettes and guest sheets. I had great confidence with the husband’s artistic skills so the invitations were his assignment. From the formatting, to printing and cutting of all 70 invites, he was just the one who made it. While on the other hand, I took charge of the printing of the misalettes and other stationeries that we needed. Our best friend then was the printer. Thus, we made sure that we had enough stock of printer ink cartridges and refills since the printing requirements were tremendous. We were lucky because we were able to score cheap printer cartridges at almost wholesale prices from a friend’s ink refilling store.

For those of you who have ink refilling and printer cartridge requirements, I’ve stumbled upon a site that sells high quality printer cartridges and ink refill kits of all brands whether Canon, Brother, Dell, HP Ricoh, etc. and printer supplies at the most competitive prices. Apart from the products availability, what sets them part from the others is their outstanding customer service and low cost shipping. Their products come with one full year guarantee so 100% satisfaction is their game. Always be wary of low cost, rebuilt printer cartridge, you may have saved on them but the truth is the quality is sacrificed and may even damage your printers.

The times, they are a-changin’. In the world of engagement jewelry, this truth can be seen most clearly with the new trend of the man-gagement ring. Scott Kay has been one of the first jewelers to cater to this new trend. The man-gagement rings, such as the ones sold by Scott Kay, are intended to be worn by men before their weddings as a way to commemorate their engagement and to signal that they are taken.

Some Scott Kay customers who have purchase man-gagement rings are gentlemen who have already proposed and are now looking for a ring for themselves to wear in the interim between the special moment when the pop the question and the wedding. Given that that interim can sometimes be a year or longer, many modern gentlemen want a bit of their own bling to show off their engaged status.

Other Scott Kay customers are modern women who are not afraid to take charge and pop the question themselves. Instead of waiting for their men to pop the questions, these ladies pick from the Scott Kay line of rings for men and get the ball rolling. While this trend may be a bit shocking to more traditional people, it is already taking off with member of the younger crowd, including some celebrities.

SK Cobalt is the line from Scott Kay that includes fashionable rings for men, often the sorts of rings that are chosen as man-gagement rings. This is in keeping with the trend that such rings are made of rugged materials such as brushed stainless steel instead of the more traditional and refined metals like platinum, white gold, and yellow gold. While it may take a while for more people to take part in this trend, Scott Kay is at the ready with a line of impressive rings.

Here comes another beach related blog post.

But first, my apologies if you’re from the other side of the world, still experiencing snow and badly enticed. I don’t mean to get you guys envious but conditioning my mind for summer as early as now is brought about by the extreme heat we’re also unusually experiencing here in the Philippines.

In a tropical country such as ours, I have come to realize that beaches aren’t widely demanded every summer period but actually for some, it’s all year round. The reason is that beaches are favorites and also popularly booked for destination weddings. Just like in the divine beach coast of Riviera Maya in Mexico, the five signature hotels of the Karisma Group have been a wedding destination favorite. Apart from the romantic setup and heavenly vacation, their gourmet inclusive concept perfects the ultimate wedding experience.
