Venetian White Kitchen Cabinets

Our fridge broke down 2 days ago. The repairman came to fix it, but he said that he will need to order the parts needed to make our fridge work. I've no idea how long we'll have to wait, but it is safe to say that it's going to be longer than 2 weeks.

While we're on the kitchen subject, I seriously think our kitchen, or rather my mom's kitchen needs a makeover. Seriously. Of course, I didn't tell her what I think. I won't. She will have her own opinion and no one else is right but her. Mothers.

I think we need a proper kitchen, with wall cabinets for more storage. We do need more storage for mom's Christmas glasses and serving sets, and also for her Tupperware collection. I love the idea of having an all-white kitchen, surely they won't look as dusty as a mahogany kitchen, right? Love that!

Take a look at this Venetian White kitchen cabinets. Isn't it lovely?

Here's the details for the Venetian White kitchen cabinet:


* Soft white with Glaze on Alder
* Raised panel mitered doors using
   mortise and tenon construction
* 5 Piece Matching Drawer Fronts
* 6-Way Adjustable Hinges
* Adjustable Full Depth Base Cabinet
   Shelves
* 3/4" thick alder doors
* 3/4" thick face frames
* 1/2" plywood boxes
* Concealed hinges

   fronts

* Under mount full extension soft close
   drawer glides & soft close doors
* 3/4" adjustable shelves

I've no idea what most of the details mean, but they do sound lovely. It'll surely make a small kitchen appear bigger, with it being all-white and all. I love the clean look too. I'll decorate my kitchen like this when I get my own home. My kitchen will be the talk of the family!

There are so many other kitchen cabinet selections, such as Walnut Merlot, Black Onyx Accent, Arctic White Shaker, and more. Really fancy names, I must say, and they look even fancier. I don't know about you, but I'm all for white. If I can't get white, then I would go for all-black. Happy kitchen-decorating! :)

Zalora Outfit Makeover Contest

Zalora is the current talk of the town! Seriously, if you haven't heard of Zalora, you're missing out on a lot! Zalora Malaysia is the fastest growing online fashion shopping mall in Malaysia, and in conjunction with their grand launch, Zalora has announce Zalora Outfit Makeover contest for bloggers like me!

Yup, pardon my exclamation marks because I am very excited about this contest. Since I love Polyvore so much, I decided to make not one but TWO Polyvore sets based on the Zalora items that I love!

The first set is Boho Look, which I love. I don't own enough boho pieces to look chic or fashionable. I have also been wanting to get a maxi dress for myself. Don't you think the dresses look pretty?

The beauty of it is, I can wear the maxi dress on its own, or I can also wear it with a cardigan for a more formal look. I can totally picture myself wearing one of those maxi dresses for a girl's day out with my BFF. :)

I'm usually a jeans and tee girl, but I'd like to wear something more age-appropriate, since I recently hit the big 3-0!

I also love, love, love flat sandals with boho details! I think they're so versatile, and can be worn with almost anything. They're a bit classier than regular flip-flops, and yet they are casual enough to be worn daily.

Buy 2 Get 1 Free at Zenni Optical

If I could change anything about myself,  would have perfect eyesight. I have been wearing prescription glasses since I was nine. I literally cannot live without my spectacles, because I won't even be able to recognise faces from 2 meters away. It's not fun, so I don't get why anyone would wish they wear glasses on a daily basis.

It's definitely expensive too. I have to get my glasses changed every year, or every two years at most. My glasses are expensive too. Frames are not cheap, and I since I am both short and long-sighted, I have to get these specially-made lenses called progressive or multifocal lenses, which are expensive. Basically, I need to wait a week or more for my prescription glasses to be ready. I paid more than RM500 for my recent pair of glasses, and that's a pain.

And then came Zenni. Zenni Optical is just awesome, like a blessing for blind people like me. Zenni has always offered the lowest price for glasses and frames. The good news is, they're now having a promotion. If you buy 2 pairs, you will get 1 pair for free! How great is that?

Get Discounts on Prescriptions at Walgreens

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Medications and health services are getting pricier these days. Without insurance coverage or membership discounts, it is almost impossible to save money on them. It doesn't help that we tend to get ill easily these days, and therefore, some kind of medicine would be very handy to have at home.

Nevertheless, let's worry not! This year, Walgreens is offering a special discount on its Prescription Savings Club yearly membership. A family membership for Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens covers everyone in your immediate family, which includes your spouse, all children aged 22 and younger, and also your family pets.

A family membership will cost you only $10 a year, while individuals may join for only $5. Families should join Walgreens Prescription Savings Club today, and enjoy discounts off your prescriptions.

Other benefits of the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club include savings on more than 8,000 brand-name and also all generic medications. This will be handy during emergencies, or when you do not have much money to spend on meds. Isn't this great?

Let's support Walgreens for their cause. Come, join me and like Walgreens on Facebook, or follow Walgreens on Twitter to keep ourselves updated. Happy Friday and happy weekend!

Sexy Lingerie as Christmas Gifts

Why not? Why not give a set of sexy lingerie to a gal pal for her birthday or for Christmas? Some people may say it's offensive, but if you know how to choose a sexy but elegant lingerie, why not?

Think sexy, not trashy; unless your BFF doesn't mind anything you choose. Whether you are buying for someone else or for yourself, you should consider the wearer's body type. There are many styles of sexy lingerie that are sensual and yet comfortable.

The colours you choose are important too, but lingerie typically comes in red, white and black. Depending on your hair colour, you can pick other colours as well. Women with blonde hair would look pretty in pastels, while brunettes would look gorgeous in deeper colours, such as emerald green. If you're a redhead, you would look beautiful in blues, greens, and earth tones.

Choose materials that you'd be comfortable in. Lace and satin are top picks for most women, but other materials such as leather, velvet and sheer materials would work too. However, you will need to remember that sheer materials will be very revealing. If you're comfortable in your own skin, why not?

Oh well, who am I to actually give advice on this? I just know how to shop, and I might get sexy lingerie for my BFF this Christmas. Happy shopping!

Homecoming Cocktail Dresses

Look at the pic. Isn't the dress gorgeous? It's a cocktail dress, and for those who are not familiar with names of dresses (like me), a cocktail dress is a dress worn at cocktail parties, and black tie or semi-formal occasions. The length of a cocktail dress can be as short as above the knee, or long enough to touch the ankle.

Fashion Multi A line Strapless Short Empire Homecoming Dress - SheInside.com

However, as we often see in Hollywood, many would opt for short cocktail dresses. I mean, why go for long gowns when you can flaunt your sexy, long legs in shorter attires, right? When invited to parties with dress codes that require us to wear cocktail dresses, sometimes it is tough to find the right dress that fits.It's worse when it's last minute, and you're shopping with a limited budget while hoping that no one else wears the same dress. Now that IS tough!

The dress in the pic is one of the many Homecoming Cocktail Dresses that are available at SheInside.com. It's an A-line strapless empire dress, and we all know A-line flatters almost any body shape. I also love that it's colourful and fun. The website offers many cocktail dresses in various colours, and you can also request for a custom-made dress. How awesome is that? 

There are many gorgeous dresses on the website, and I'm off to admire them, and wish I can wear one soon. Join me? Happy browsing!

GoDaddy .com Renewal Discount Code

Since I purchased my first domain a few years ago, I've always looked for ways to save on domain renewals. I've just renewed the domains for www.phat-woman.com and www.celeb-square.com a few minutes ago, and I managed to save $8.00!

I Googled for GoDaddy discount codes for renewals and found this code: gdbb776. I tried it and it worked! I paid only $7.99 for each of my domain, instead of $11.99. I paid only $16.34, including $0.36 for iCANN fees for two .com domains. Isn't that great?

If you're looking to save more, you can renew your domains for two or three years. I only renewed my domains for a year each. Remember, the code is gdbb776! Happy saving! :)

Fashion Newbie

I've been trying to get some work done today but to no avail. However, I did watch some trailers and updated CelebSquare, and found out that my blog PR has been updated. CelebSquare now has a PR1 yay!

I know it's not a big deal for most of you, especially if you have PR3 and PR4 blogs, but it means a lot to me because I've been working really hard on CelebSquare.

Oh, I finally wore the dress I bought online last month. I bought 2 dresses, a cropped cardigan and a long cardigan. I love the feel of this dress I'm wearing in the pic. I wore it with my long cardigan, which is my current favourite piece. I've never been into fashion much, but I love my purchases so far. I'm looking forward to buying more from my favourite seller.

Anyway, I'm suffering from sore throat again and I cannot wait for my Strepsils. I asked Jojo to get some for me today, since he has to go through some treatment sessions this whole week. He seems to be doing well, even without me accompanying him to the hospital, so that's a good sign.

I'm also expecting for new stocks for my online store this week. I bought clear stamps, brads, alphabet stickers, and ribbons. Can't wait for them to arrive! Have a great, productive week!
