Relationship Advice

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

I have been married for over 7 years.  Just last year, we had our church wedding in the Philippines which was a  very nice celebration attended by my family and friends.  It was very memorable.

 

My marriage life is not perfect.  We have our shares of adjustments, struggles, and arguments the same with any other couples.  Interracial marriages undergo more adjustments because we have too many things that are not common between us.  We did survive and we are enjoying our married life. 

 

After 7 years, we are still in love and happy with each other.  It still feel like we are still dating which is a good thing.  We still give each other little surprises, do something sweet for each other and such.  There are many tips on keeping your relationship fresh , once you keep your love burning, I am sure you will have a great and successful married life.  As famous writer Hill Harper said, "Relationship is difficult but it is also amazing".  You can watch his video where he talks about relationship and how important it is to have a great conversation with your partner. 

 

If you feel like your marriage or relationship is in the stage where everything is dull, you should do something.  Visit twofous.org and explore the different relationship advice that you can find in their site.  Each of us may have different relationship problems and each one of us can learn from each other's experiences. 

 

TwoOfUs.org is a very informative website.  Because I believe in them, I already like their facebook page.  You should too!

Addition to Imeldific's ward (wink)

As I have promised from my previous blog that I'm going to post pictures of my latest finds. I know I sound silly and at times bragging my stuff, please bear with me I didn't experience such luxury when I was growing up. This is my way of feeding my altered social growing up years.(read:nakuratan)

 

These are the 4 of Imeldific's new ward

 

Both items were purchased at Macy's by Carlos Santana. I haven't worn these yet.

Yellow--by Athena Alexander, Pink---DKNY both from Nordstrom 

I wore them twice already as I only go out after work strolling the mall or visiting friends. The weather here in NJ is crazy, one day its warm the next day is cold so spring season hasn't really sprung yet. There's no way that I can be glamorous yet freezing!

on to shopping note

My close friends knew me as a shoe loving gal, ohh well its every woman's trait I think. For the love of shoes my closet is filled with numerous pairs of different footwear designs. Back then when I wasn't working yet, I limit myself on buying shoes, I see to it that I have the money to pay for. I saved from my weekly allowance and from the remainder of our weekly household budget. Now that I am working, I splurge, everytime I see a nice looking pair I would never think twice.

During my days off, I am frequent to the mall, Macy's and Nordstrom are my favorite places to shop. I also shop at my favorite boutiques like Guess by Marciano, Bebe, BCBG, CK, Ann Taylor... to name a few. I am more of a shoe and purse, unlike J my closest friend, she is more of jewelries and watches. Majority of my frequent purchases recently are shoes and dresses. I wear them few times and send back home when I felt tired of the item. Purse is different I keep them except the coach handbags which I already outgrew, I only kept 2 handbags for sentimental reasons. I once mentioned to my sister that coach no longer entice me. As a matter of fact she asked my first Marc Jacob purchase but I refused because it was the last item of its kind. I told her if she wants me to buy a different one but she don't want rather asked me to buy an Ipad  which I agreed but not right away.

Right now I am saving for my dream handbag as it costs my entire month's pay. I'll buy it for my birthday. Since I had been working a lot lately I bought quite few interesting pieces which deserve another blog entry with pictures of course.

A Gift for my Sister

I have not seen my sister who lives in a different state for over 2 years now.  I haven't visited her despite the fact that she and her family have visited us twice already.  I do miss them especially my little niece who talks a lot with me in the phone.  I guess she got our genes (we talk so much).

The last time my sister was here, we spend most of our days going to the mall.  We are both certified shopaholics.  We went to different stores and look for their sale items and we looked for best deals that we can buy on clothes, shoes and purses. 

Shopping with my sister is not possible right now unless it is online shopping.  I sent her the website of Bluefly because I want her to choose a pair of BCBG shoes.  I want to buy her a pair of shoes of her choice for her birthday.  You see she will be celebrating her birthday in the next few weeks and I want to buy something nice for her.  I am sure that she won't say no to bcbg as this is one of her favorite brands. 

I wish she would choose one of these because I think she will look good on any of these.

Imeldific shopping madness

Yes, friends and enemies I went out shopping with my gf/co-worker Janice and I splurge big time! I spent most of my shopping day with shoes not just 1 or 2 pairs but let sayyy a lot. Actually I shopped twice this week and yes both days were shoe shopping. Don't worry folks I bought 3 of them on sale.

 

bought this on retail less 30% coupon, since I don't have brown sandals and I'm so in-love of  the style. It also fits so perfectly.

The cheapest of the bunch, $16.50 less 20%, do the math.

Originally, this is almost $200, but was on sale for $34.50 less 20%, again do the math.

bought this on retail price less 30% coupon.

Originally $198 less 75% and 20% coupon, Do the math!

Can't Wait to Shop for Baby Things

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

I love shopping and every time I shop, I can't help but take a look at those cute baby things.  I may sound desperate but I really wanted to have a baby now.  I am not getting any younger, and the older I get the less the chances that I will get pregnant.

I am not yet pregnant yet I have already visited the websites of Cryo Cell.  I visited www.Cryo-Cell.com  and www.Cryo-Cell.net .  I am now very familiar with the benefits of cord blood banking and I am considering this idea.

Motherhood is a dream and I believe that I will be a great mom and my hubby will be a great dad.  I hope that we will be blessed with a baby soon.  I know that raising a child is not easy yet, with the help of my family and through reading online articles about pregnancy and raising a child I am sure that I will be able to do it.
