I wish I was with her that night but alas, I can’t because I still have two younger children to look after. Besides, we would probably have a hard time going home after the concert because we can’t bring a car with us.

There is nothing like watching or rather listening to a live concert, stomping your feet to the beating drums, listening to yamaha mixers, ear-splitting guitar solo plays and live singing.

We all do I guess, especially if we know that there is some place special waiting at the end of the flight. With summer just a few weeks from now, people who have plans to vacation elsewhere probably have already planned their itinerary. I’m sure they, as we do too, slash on some expenses to have more in the coffers for that grand summer vacation.

For one, going to sale events to buy the necessities would be a good way to scrimp. Summer clothes, swimming clothes, even school supplies for moms like me and discount cigars for smokers can be bought with 10 – 50% discount.

Whatever will be saved will go to the vacation fund.  Unless there’s a big emergency, saving for a grand summer vacation should be fairly easy.

I just hope so.

Matching is out color blocking is in!

In the fashion world, that is. No matter if you look like Snow White with your blue and yellow ensemble or you feel like you are a flag carrier, color blocking makes wearing clothes fun. No need to buy a bag or a belt or a new pair of shoes with colors that will match an outfit you have in mind.

This though may  not be applicable to nursing scrubs or teacher uniforms because I’m thinking the patients and the students will be distracted with the contrasting colors, But then again, they may be cheered up, especially those who have not been feeling well.
