Sending Greeting Cards: Got a Thought? Get a Card!
Posted by: | Comments
In our busy hectic lives it can be all too easy to forget to send a greeting card for those we care about. It’s not that we forget it entirely. We forget to remember to go fetch, go buy, go trawl. So instead of relying on your memory to get a card, why not do it when you get the thought? Do the unexpected thing and go send one when you think of it.
It’s so easy these days to send a card online that many of us just don’t do it. Some of us find it difficult, others find it impersonal. Whether you’ve an online or a bricks and mortar card sender isn’t important – unless you want the recipient to have a paper card (of substance) to stand on their desk.
There are a number of ways that you can be impulsive with your card-giving.
For email cards
1. If you’re an online fan then bookmark the best card sites. Make these ones that aren’t just packed out with masses of choices, but those sites that you personally find easy to navigate.
2. Spend a bit of time going through the various sites seeing what they offer.
3. Do they make it easy for you to complete your request? Any email card company worth its salt will offer some sort of membership program which will give you more flexibility and personalization. Remember, making it personal will always win over the rest.
4. Do they have a Reminder Service as part of the package so that you can be prompted to get that special card before the date arrives? If they don’t then look elsewhere. These programs are a life-saver (if card-giving is one of your priorities). Most prompt you a few days before the dates you’ve entered.
5. It’s also possible to set up a reminder in Outlook.
For paper cards
1. These days you aren’t limited to bricks and mortar shopping for paper cards. A number of online companies will personalize and send your selected card for you. You enter all the details and they do the rest – usually with a guaranteed next day delivery. It’s worth spending a bit of time looking into these options, because depending on where you live, and your schedule, it isn’t always possible to walk to the store, select, write and then post your card. There are so many other variables like the weather, have you got the address and a postage stamp!
2. If you really do like walking around the mall or local shops then you probably know your favorite card shops, and their opening/closing times. That’s very important if you’re coming a distance or in a hurry.
3. Level of service is important too. I’ve been known to blacklist certain stores because of their rude, or indifferent customer service.
4. Being impulsive though isn’t always easy when you’ve got to go fetch every time, so having your own store of cards to turn to is a great help.
5. Many companies sell boxed cards these days. I’m not talking of those individual padded cards but sets of say 6-15 note cards, often blank with front photographs or paintings for all occasions. Museums and Galleries are often a good source. Look at postcard sets too. You can always buy a pack of sized envelopes to accompany them.
6. If you keep a selection of such cards you will never be caught out again and you’ll be able to send that thought when you get it.
Sending a card unexpectedly shows that you aren’t just limited by the main card giving events in our lives, but that you think of others at other times too. It shows your sensitivity to others’ life experiences and reinforces your friendship and character.
It’s often this unexpectedness that matters more than card giving at traditional events such as birthdays. We usually expect those, and yes, sometimes it can be hard to come up with something original.
Of course there’s always the possibility that our unexpectedness at giving cards to others may in time become almost part of what THEY expect from us. Motive is what matters – the reason why you decide to act on impulse to send that card with hand-written message.
Acting on the thought is the thing that separates us from the rest. It’s easy to say we’ve thought of someone, but didn’t have time to or couldn’t get around to turning the thought into reality. Making it happen is the difference. It’s the connection between showing that we had the thought and thinking enough of them to make the effort.
Thinking of someone in our heads doesn’t allow us to show them that we care. Thinking of them with a card translates that into action.
Subscribing to one of the options above can help you to develop your own unique style of card giving by sending a card when you get the thought.
Go make someone’s day and get them that greeting card you were thinking of!

Which Kitchen Floor is Right for Your Home?
Posted by: | Comments
Which Kitchen Floor is Right for Your Home?
A low maintenance floor can cut down the time you spend cleaning your home and make your property more hygienic. Having a stunning floor can also update the look of your home and potentially increase the value of your property if youâre looking to sell. There are many options when it comes to replacing the flooring in the key rooms of your home so check out some popular choices below.
Laminate
Laminate floors are a popular choice as they are affordable, easy to fit and easy to clean. Just because laminate tends to be a cheaper option, it doesnât mean itâs any less stylish as it can come in hardwood or stone designs to give the illusion of much more expensive flooring. Laminate is also very easy to maintain as spillages wonât permanently damage the surface and cleaning is easy with warm soapy water. A downside of laminate is that after extended use the whole floor has to be replaced and canât just be retreated as natural stone or wood flooring can.
Natural stone
Any room can look super stylish and luxurious with natural stone flooring. The most popular choices are slate, granite and quartz which can all bring a room right up to date. However, natural stone flooring is expensive and itâs not particularly suitable if you find your home hard to heat as it can often be cold underfoot. In terms of investment, natural stone flooring can last for decades with very little maintenance. If chips or scratches do occur in the flooring itâs wise to get a professional in to reseal the surface to avoid any further damage.
Vinyl
Vinyl is a similar surface to laminate but offers a more cushioned feel and can bounce back into shape. As with laminate, vinyl is very easy to install and can be cut into shape from a sheet or tiles which can be installed to fit any size floor. Vinyl flooring is made up of four separate layers making it very sturdy and hard wearing, especially as the top layer is a clear film designed to protect the surface underneath. There are plenty of colours and patterns available which means this type of flooring is suitable for a wide range of kitchens.
Natural wood
Although wood effect flooring is common, you can choose to go all out and install some genuine natural wood for the floors in your home. As with natural stone, this type of flooring can be expensive and to be fitted properly everything will need to be removed from the room so itâs not a great choice if you want a quick solution for your floors. Oak and maple are a popular choice for floors and give a deep brown look which is versatile enough to complement both a traditional or contemporary home. Wood can stain easily and warp in damp conditions such as in kitchens or bathrooms so itâs important to get the surface treated properly as soon as itâs installed. Annual waxing is also recommended to keep the floors protected and looking great.
Whatever choice of flooring you go for, make sure you consult the experts before you buy so you can be sure the surface is right for your home.

How to Find the Perfect Prom Dress
Posted by: | Comments
Finding the right prom dress can be very difficult. With so many designers and styles to choose from, not to mention the plethora of stores, the choices have never been more confusing. Pricing needs to be just right and each store has a slightly different price range and selection. And what if the current fashion styles don’t accommodate your fashion sense? Well, here are a few tips to finding your perfect prom dress.
Start early. Finding your perfect prom dress won’t do you much good if you find it in July. Give yourself plenty of time, even if you aren’t sure you have a date. Remember ladies, it’s up to the man to match you, not the other way around. Any good date will go along with whatever you pick out, loving your taste in clothes as much as they love you. So, feel free to shop early and not worry about picking the wrong thing. If you like it, then they will love it.
Do research. Don’t worry; this can be fun. Grab a group of friends that you trust to be honest with you (or even a few friends that will always tell you that you look great just for ego purposes), and have a shopping day. Go to the malls and local dress stores and try on anything and everything you can, even if you know it will look terrible. Sometimes, while the dress itself might not be the right one, you find yourself liking a style you didn’t know you would.
Take pictures. Have one of your friends use a camera phone to snap shots of you in each dress while in the changing room. While this might seem silly, it will greatly assist you in choosing the right dress later. In fact, after a long shopping day, many women remember liking certain dresses, but can’t remember why. Taking pictures will save you some confusion. It will also allow you to share what each dress looks like with your friends who are unable to come, giving them an opportunity to help you choose the right dress… not to mention helping them to see some of the dresses they could buy!
Don’t buy the first thing you like. With so many dresses to choose from, it would be unwise to limit yourself. If you think you have found the dress of your dreams, ask the store to hold it for you (just in case) and then go home and look it up online. You can buy the dress from the store later, especially if it is coming down to the wire and prom is only a week away. But most of the time the stores are over-priced and you can find the same dress for a much better deal online.
Use your research and shop online. This will likely save you quite a bit of money, since online purchases often cost less. Take the pictures you have stored in your camera and the recommendations from your friends and look for a dress that perfectly matches every detail. Don’t settle for something that is “okay.” Go for the perfect dress to match your personality. Shopping online allows you to look at all of the different designer dresses, and most websites will allow you to see each dress in multiple colors. From your online searching, you should be able to find a designer that you like, a style of dress that fits your body type, and the perfect color dress for your skin tone.
Try it on. When the dress comes, try it on and make sure it fits well. Your bedroom will become your own personal changing room. Often times it won’t cost much to have a few parts of the dress altered, especially if you know someone who can sew. So, if it is a bit too long or requires a new button, don’t just send it back. These things are superficial and can be fixed quickly. However, if the dress is too big, too small, too revealing, not revealing enough, or just not for you, it is best to return it and try again.
Don’t limit yourself. The best part of buying a dress online is that you’re not limited to this year’s fashion. For instance, if the cuts from this year don’t fit your body type, you can look at different cuts from different years. Don’t limit yourself to what everyone else will be wearing. Wear what looks beautiful on you; everyone else who compromises their beauty for the whims of this year’s fashion will just look foolish.

The Faucet as a Design Icon
Posted by: | Comments
As interior design comes more and more into the domain of the homeowner, the desire to design your own decor and choose your own fitments becomes stronger as the price comes down.
Modern manufacturing techniques have enabled costs to reduce to the point where the designer details are no longer just affordable by the rich, but by the everyday working man, and this has led to a demand for more individual designs to be applied to everyday items.
Not just a faucet
Among the utility items to be given the designer treatment in recent times is the faucet, a simple device that has been with us for years and, no matter how much it advances in time, does the same thing it has always done – controls the flow of water into the sink.
It is often forgotten that it is not necessarily the major items of furnishing and fitment that make the most difference to the overall impact, but the smaller, often forgotten and necessary items; the faucet is one of these.
You may have spent a good deal of time looking for the ideal sink, be it surface mounted or flush, or chrome finish or ceramic, only to have paid little attention to the faucet that needs to be attached to make the system operate.
A vast and varied range
This need not be the case, as the range of faucets available is vast and varied, and there will be many different choices for any sink that you opt for, be it for the bathroom, the kitchen or the bedroom.
Modern thinking has it that the faucet need not be of the traditional type that is attached to the top of the sink, either, as the option to have your faucet mounted din the wall behind the sink is available to all with a bit of minor plumbing al that is needed.
This method of design can be very effective when coupled with the beautiful and modern looking undermounted sinks, and adds to the effect that the sleek and flush design of the sink provides by keeping the connecting pipes between the two hidden from view.
Modern, traditional, or retro
If it is not a modern look you are building, but a more traditional feel with a retro look, the range of faucets is equally varied, with anything from recent, 1960’s style chrome faucets through to English Victorian style butlers sink faucets available widely on the market. The beauty here is that you get the look, but it comes with modern methods of operation and build, and a modern, affordable price.
Faucets have, surprisingly to some, entered the realm of gadgetry=try of late, with the availability of faucets that do not require a tap with which to turn them on and off. Instead they use a sensor that detects when a hand is placed underneath, and run for either as long as it is there or for a set period of time.
Whatever your requirements, remember that the faucet is an essential design detail when looking to build the perfect bathroom or kitchen.
