Feeling secured at home

We moved in to our new flat three weeks ago and we are slowly settling things down. Our flat, although not 100% furnished yet, has all the basics already. I go out almost every day to get to know the city and I must admit that I really like Graz and the fact that we [...]

Divvy up for that perfect gift

Mothers’ Day is fast approaching and my husband and I decided to do the usual—send flowers and cards. I know that is soooo uncreative but we have a lot of things to think about at the moment and I am sure that my mom, my mother-in-law, and my two sisters will understand.
For those of you [...]

On having a baby

After almost two years of being married we are naturally bombarded with questions such as
“When is the baby coming?”
“Are you already expecting?”
“No? So when do you plan do you plan on having a baby?”

This popular belief is effortlessly pushed by the media to extremes. It is the media that dictates that we should put much importance on weight and body image and [...]

Practicality on Eye Care

A New York Times article published on the 29th of January, 2009 about saving on eye care mentioned ZenniOptical.com as a good place to get the cheapest eyeglasses from. I think Zeni Optical deserves such mention because they really offer the most competitive prices for eyeglasses.
A lot of people say that we should never be [...]

Take Advantage of the Recession

When else is the best time to buy stocks and real estate properties other than now? I believe that the economy cannot get worse than how it is at the moment so whatever you invest now will increase its value as soon as the economy picks up again.
A friend of ours who owns a house [...]

Giving Up on Blogging

I feel like a zombie now because I stayed up until 3:00AM last night. I wanted to stay longer in bed but when Marcus woke up at quarter to seven to go to the gym (though he tried so hard not to make any sound), I woke up too. Marcus told me to try [...]

Looking Forward to Christmas

Four weeks from now we will be heading to Austria for our Christmas holiday. That could only mean massive shopping for gifts. I asked my husband’s relatives if they could send us their Christmas list so we could save time thinking what to buy but I don’t think they’d be giving it to us. Maybe [...]

Healthier Approach to Fight Obesity

A friend of mine and I were talking about weight loss a few weeks ago and she mentioned to me that there are these slimming pills in the market now that works wonders. And I asked her if these are the slimming pills that makes you rush to the toilet every after a few minutes [...]

Christmas Gift Idea for Kids

We went out shopping last Sunday and the thing I noticed the most is that department stores and shopping malls are already decorated with Christmas decors. It gives me a little bit feeling of the season even if it is just November. As early as now, I am already thinking of what gifts could [...]
