I need a break from managing my niche blogs and stores! Enough search on pink stuff and gifts.

To get some fresh air, I am going to a contemporary furniture expo with hubby this afternoon.

After that, we should savor some local gourmet in the town. I don’t even remember the last time I enjoyed the local gourmet! Half year ago? Or longer than that?

It’s a surprise to many working mamas that I change the replacement battery of my pink iPod myself. Well, it’s very easy to do it.

I bought an iPod do-it-yourself kit and read the instructions all the way through before starting. The first time I installed the battery myself, I really took my time and did it as carefully as possible. It’s an exciting experience.

Since then, I have become the specialist who changes iPod batteries for my family members and friends. Perhaps I should consider taking up an iPod repair course. I used to attend a repair course for cell phones and  cell phone amplifiers.

Who knows? I may make a living from repairing iPods. With hiking prices on fuel, petrol and almost everything, it’s good to explore a few more multiple income streams.

While searching for some information related to Orlando vacations, I bumped into this pink Earth Mama-Angel Baby Breastfeeding Support Kit. Without much hesitation, I gave it as a gift for my best friend; she loved it.

Earth Mama-Angel Baby Breastfeeding Support Kit has everything nursing mama needs to nourish her breasts as she nourishes her angel baby.

Milkmaid Tea seems to help with milk production. The nip cream is okay.

The second gift that I gave my best friend was this Earth Mama-Angel Baby Organic A Little Something for Mama’s Sore Bottom Kit.

It makes the sore postpartum days a lot more enjoyable. The balm totally erases any soreness from tearing and literally makes you feel like nothing has happened.

Earth Mama-Angel Baby Organic A Little Something for Mama’s Sore Bottom really soothes the pain (after each application). The spray is nice, cooling and refreshing, but not really a pain killer.

While trying to dig out some of my blog posts of gold cufflinks, I came across many old posts written about Cameron Highlands.

It’s been more than 5 months since hubby and I moved back to the small village. Life in a small village is definitely simpler. Things sold at the small village are so cheap that I am able to save more money and pay off more debt.

The same pink gifts I bought in the small village are more than 20% much cheaper.

Hubby and I live in a not-so-safe housing area and want to add an inexpensive alarm system that can serve as a deterrent to intruders, especially when we are away on holidays.

I know that this ademco wireless siren cannot substitute for a centralized alarm system in which police are immediately notified, but I feel that the activation of an incredibly loud alarm can scare off an unsuspecting burglar and is far better than not having any alarm system.

Installation is in a matter of seconds, just plug into any regular duplex receptacle. That’s it! You can choose the best station for this wireless siren, since it will install in any location without you having to run wires.

Funky styles are all the rage these days. And if you are a funky mom or dad, you probably want to make sure your baby is always dressed in the latest funky fashions too. They are also great baby gifts to be given to new babies!

The right funky baby clothes also include great accessories. Layering items such as tights, knee socks, and tank tops can take your baby through the seasons. And don’t forget cool funky hats, shoes, slippers and rainboots that will complete your little one’s perfectly funky wardrobe!

Appliances cost money from the moment of purchase through the years of high energy bills and ongoing maintenance costs. To save money on appliances, try 4 tips here.

1. Buy the Right Size. A giant fridge for a small family of three is not only overkill, but it’s going to cost you more at the store and on your monthly energy bill. Don’t always opt for the larger size; rather, look for an appliance that’s scaled to your family needs.

2. Try Refurbishing Instead of Replacing. Before you run out and buy a brand new grill cover, ask yourself if you can get away with refurbishing the old one.

3. Always Buy Energy Efficient. Whenever possible, always buy an EER or Energy Star rated product. The higher the EER tag rating, the less wasteful a product is and the more money you’ll save in the long term.

4. Buy the Floor Model. Last year’s floor models could be this year’s savings. Much like the deals that can be found on test-drive cars, buying a floor model can save you a significant amount off the advertised sticker price.

My hubby asked me if I would like to go shopping in Ipoh tomorrow. I am still considering.

I have to make sure that I have some books, clothes and groceries to buy first. Well, actually I should get myself some female magazines.

I guess I am getting used to the hot weather in Ipoh now. Guess how many times I can take a bath daily ? 5 times a day !
