I love to save

4 Comments

It’s been a while since I posted any sort of promo codes or coupons on this website — it’s mainly over on my Locupleto savings website (there’s a link in the side bar) which gets updated periodically.

However, since I am in the mood to share some great stuff with you today from a few popular well known stores, I decided to put it on the site that gets the most readers. THIS ONE! :)

As many of you who have been reading my blog for quite some time, know that I often shop online. When I do so, I try my very best to get the best deal and use coupons. For instance, I’ve been eying a few bed sheets at a certain store, so Bed Bath Beyond coupons definitely come in handy as that store can be quite pricey. If you order online, you can get free shipping,  while you save even more money on clearance items. Best of both worlds, yes/yes?

If you’re more of a fixer-upper person and not really into bath things, just try searching on savings.com as you can also get Home Depot promotion code to use either online or in store with a print out.

Savings.com is an easy site to navigate, as they update the site regularly to give you the latest deals and coupon codes to choose from! Savings.com even has a blog where you can get tips on how to say “No” to people, if you just can’t spend the money going out with the girls every weekend, or just simply budgeting!

I know I’ll be making a visit there in the future. I need some new towels. :) Now, where should I buy them from, is the question.

All the way from Israel

5 Comments

With my fascination with the website of Etsy, I found this wonderful seller from the incredible place of Israel. Adva’s items caught my eye, not only because of the fabrics she uses — but the style that she sews them up. The articles of clothing can be worn as a classic piece with timeless accessories, or you can easily dress them up to be quite funky! I’m impressed with the high quality of materials she uses, and the prices are totally reasonable for anyone!

blackshirt-sideAlfie seems to like it too. :)

Adva and I have something in common and in fact some of you may not know this about me… but I too went and did Textile Studies in College, before I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I ended up going there right after I graduated High School. While it was fun to learn how to weave, knit, sculpt, print and dye — I knew I didn’t want to turn a hobby into a job. Ironically enough, I became a Graphic Designer, and I couldn’t say I would want to do anything else!

Enough about me.  Check out some of my favorite pieces created by Adva at Duende74:

2The “Winter” jacket. Which just so happens to be $10 off at the moment. This is definitely my favorite, by far.

1Sleeveless Tunic (wool)

3and of course the Long Sleeved Tunic. Show stoppah!

She even has some dresses to choose from. If I was comfortable wearing a dress, I would have picked something out like that too!

I was lucky enough for Adva to send me a sleeveless tunic made from Italian cotton and wool. Perfect for the spring or summer, and even layering under a cute and perhaps bright cardigan during these cold winter months in Canada. I’m for sure going to wear the top, this weekend!

This is me, sporting my new shirt from her Duende74 Etsy store:

blackshirt-frontLooks great with a pair of jeans. You can easily dress it up, or down. It feels so nice on my skin, I can’t stop touching it.

blackshirt-cardiganPair it with a cardigan for the cold months at work, and with a long necklace your outfit is set!

blackshirt-backThe back is pretty sleek too. Oww!

I couldn’t stop touching the top. It’s almost like a silky-cotton material. Amazing quality fabric and flattering. There is a various amount of colors to choose from when you’re picking out your tops, too.

Help an Etsy seller out, and perhaps this will inspire you to go and buy some really great pieces from her. Adva is such a sweetheart, really and I love her super cool name: Adva. She has super fast shipping, in fact I had my postal code wrong and wrote her a week later. Adva’s response was almost immediate. Then, that afternoon I received my package in the mail at work! Can you believe it only took 9 business days from far-away Israel, with the wrong postal code? Unreal. Please, definitely check out her shop if you’re looking for some fresh new pieces in your wardrobe!

Have a fantastic day guys!

Lifting your spirits

No Comments

You don’t have to be an elderly person to require a Stair Lift, in fact — some things in life, need to be addressed and thought about in advance. What happens if you’re in a car accident or just suddenly fainted and dropped to the ground, only for your children to come home from school/work and find you in a state on the floor? It recently happened to a friend of mine, and now her Uncle seems to be somewhat permanently in a wheel chair. The Uncle’s family recently installed a stair lift in their home and had to even add a bedroom downstairs due to their second story not being accessibly for the first little while (prior to the stair lift, that is).

It is definitely a scary thought. But there are people who can help ease the confusion and questions you may have regarding adding such a fixture to your home. The stair lifts, and even wheelchair lifts come in a variety of models to ensure that your budget needs are met, and they can help basically anyone in need.

ThyssenKrupp Access has been around since 1947 which leaves it one of the oldest, most trusted providers of accessibility equipment and residential elevators. So you don’t have to worry about your home not being put to its potential use. That multi-level / story home of yours can now be accessible to all family members whether or not they are restrained to a wheel chair or not! Just because you have a life change regarding your body, does not mean your whole world needs to change. Everything in the comfort of your own home can be accessed easily.

If you’re in the situation that I just described above and would like some more formal information, you can easily just visit their website located here: http://www.tkaccess.com/
