Reliable Web Hosting

Whether you’re a blogger or a website designer/administrator, you and I know that having reliable webhosting is very important. Firstly you want to be able to do your blogging online whenever you want to, and for those who have company blogs or websites to take care of you certainly don’t want a potential customer to think that you didn’t pay your bills for hosting your website just because your site is down sometimes. It gets really annoying when you keep getting messages like “you have exceeded your CPU limits” or an error page about bandwidth issues.

No one wants the hassle of changing webhosts because it really is a hassle, but when you get those error message as often as we did, then you know you need a better and more reliable hosting solution. More so if the hosting company you are currently with asks you to upgrade to features you don’t need, like dedicated servers, when they don’t even know that what you are using does not need dedicated servers at all. It’s like selling you a duck when you only need a chicken to cook chicken rice. I never want to deal with incompetent people anymore.

Most bloggers are like me who use less than 10gb of space and 20gb of bandwidth, therefore even though I’m no expert in stuff like that, I’m not entirely clueless. So don’t get sucked into something you have to pay a fortune more than you should be paying. With Canadian Web Hosting, the up time is guaranteed at 99.9% and they also promise fast and reliable service with offices in Canada. Since I’m based in Canada I encourage people to try them because they can be contacted locally and won’t mess around with you. With a 30 day money back guarantee, you can’t go wrong eh? Packages start at just $3.95/month.

Winter Wheels & Tires

For someone who comes from a place that is summer everyday, jumping to 6 months of winter in Nova Scotia can be kinda hard to adjust to. With everything else we already need to do, including making sure that our winter wheels and tires. Given the road conditions here, we need to make sure that our tires are good every year. We try not to be cheap on the tires nor the wheels but you and I know that with the winter and power plus oil bills, you have to get the best price for both the tires and wheels whenever possible.

C0ming highly recommended was Wheelfire, they have many wheel and tire packages at discount prices, even custom wheels. Now that would be something to look at for those car lovers like someone I know from town, or actually half the town to be exact. Bringing you the latest in tire and wheel trends at prices you can afford. You are probably wondering about getting the right fit for your car, just like I was when shopping online for them, and I’m pleased to let you know that they have a fitment program that ensures that your car is properly fitted. Ordering is easy, shipping is also quick and they have tech support to answer any of your questions.

Wheelfire carries the wheels and tires in stock and you never have to wait for their orders to come in before they are delivered since they have their own warehouse. Being a member of the BBB (Better Business Bureau), you can check their outstanding record since opening. I asked the spouse about ordering online and he is comfortable with it, so we are all set.

Jewelry & I

I’m sure you know by now that I’m a picky shopper when it comes to buying jewelry. For one, I have to like the design and secondly the price has to be right. Like any woman on earth, we pride ourselves in knowing where and what to get at the right time. For Designer Jewelry that we like, I need to make sure that i can justify spending the money since it is not a necessity but a luxury and I’m sure you know where I’m coming from.

I also like to pick unique pieces of jewelry and not those that are mass produced because it can be quite embarrassing to be seen with the same piece of jewelry as someone else in a cocktail. Holsted Jewelers have a wide range to suit anyone’s budget, plus they offer free shipping and guarantee each and everyone of their pieces of jewelry. You can’t go too wrong with a place that had been doing jewelries for more than 30 yrs eh.

Like Daughter, Like Mother

I was brought up in a different era .. and different culture. I came from a single parent family and i rarely saw my father and since my mother was not in good terms with my paternal grandparents .. nor her own.. I was not closed to any of my cousins nor aunts or uncles. Because of all the above, family is very important to me. I, therefore try to get Chloe’s grandparents involved in her growing up .. to build a special bond them. I also vowed not to bring up my kid up .. the way my mother brought me up ( for example : if she breaks something, I won’t scream nor beat her up).

If I look closely at Chloe, I see me in her.. and because of that.. i am very conscious .. not to get grumpy at her… because we don’t want her to grow up to be a grumpy kid. I’m careful with what I say in front of her.. because she follows my “that’s awesome!”, even when she is in school, encouraging a fellow classmate when they do their school work. So it is true.. that our kids reflect who and what we are and at the end of the day.. what kind of kid do you want your kid to be..?? when they grow up. Kids pick up everything you say and do.. without even trying. We said we were going to get New York Yankees tickets for Christmas present for a g/f’s family from the States.. and she was going on and on about it.. for days. And when my g/f called from USA to wish us Merry Christmas before Christmas .. chloe asked.. did you get your Yankee tickets..?? *slap forehead* . So moms .. does your kid reflect you ..?? talks like you ..?? laugh like you ..??? Are you checking yourself .. constantly..?? I sure am.. coz’ that brat of mine.. is too smart for her own good sometimes.

UGG Boots won’t Make you go Ugh!

Photobucket

Coming to Canada and enduring such horrid winters can make one feel quite frumpy and dowdy, if you know what I mean. 6 months of winter here in Nova Scotia sure is hard for just about anyone, but for some in Nunavut like my dear friend Aida, I am sure she can appreciate why I only buy Ugg boots. These are boots that won’t make me or others looking at me go “Uggghhh..!!”. After all it was Jennifer Aniston who wore them first and I love how fashionable she is.

Well of course there is more to it than that, they are made of sheepskin and originated in Australia. Don’t be fooled though because there are lots of imitation Ugg boots out there and you really don’t want those because wearing boots made of synthetic leather is the worst. Your feet smell and it gets pretty sweaty and hot after awhile. One place to look for information about Ugg boots and how to avoid buying fake ones is at http://www.buyitrighthere.co.uk/, do check it out before buying them so you will know how to take care of your Ugg boots and also learn what you are paying for and why they cost more than other brands of boots. Plus, find out if your man would love a pair too.

Concert Tickets

I used to work in the hotel industry and as someone who was in charge of the Front Office and the Concierge department plus the Business Center of one of the most reputable hotel in Asia. It is no easy feat, I’ll have to tell you and with 1000s of in house guests and convention ones in the hotel daily, we have many request for concert tickets on ad-hoc basis and some very demanding guests.

My boss said my middle name was “efficient” and I didn’t earned that name for nothing. But what my boss don’t know was I depended on the folks at TicketFeeder for all my event tickets and those that were sold out. They are opened 24/7 and had the largest database for any kind of tickets. Whether you need sport tickets, concert tickets or even theater tickets, if it is anyone you can depend on .. it had to be them. They even help you to locate the best seats for your guests, your customers or even family.

Whether you are a Front Office Manager in a hotel like I was or only owner by association to your spouse’s business or a personal assistant to the CEO, ticketfeeder.com is a site i would bookmark and be known as “Ms Efficient” by your bosses or your spouse. The folks at TicketFeeders are professionals, their event tickets are genuine and there is absolutely no hassle working with them.
