Shopaholic – Valentine Shopping Is for Fun

Why do people shop for Valentines Day?

It is that time of year again. You know, when we need a Holiday to justify our reason to go out and shop. Valentines Day is just around the corner. It gives us a reason to be a shopaholic if only for one day. This is when we profess our love for the opposite sex, family members and our children. It is a nice time to buy sweets for our sweeties along with jewelry for some. We continue with the same shopping trends.

Valentines day allows us to relish in the warm fuzzes of love and friendship. We as a people, male and female, boys and girls can write poems, cute notes, play games and leave gifts as well as food or treats for each other and it does not matter what sex or age you are or age or sex of the one that you befriend or leave a gift or treat for. It is all seen as a nice jester.

As a matter of fact, if you are a kid in grade school and the school or teacher allows you to pass out valentines and you are the only kid that did NOT get any, you really feel bad. You think that nobody in your class likes you. This is a time in your little life when you want valentines from both sexes. From the boys that are your buds and who pick each other for teams and from the girls who think you are cute, have a crush or from both who just want to be your friend. It is a real esteem builder to get those little notes and candy hearts.

As adults sometimes just a card from someone will do it for you. This is the time of year when many couples become engaged. This is a good time to visit your favorite online shopping mall.

Jewelry stores are cleaning display cases and making sure that everything is sparkling for that retail buyer. Now is the time that men are thinking about and looking at moderate to expensive jewelry to give to their loved ones.

Married couples that are approaching their 10, 20, 25 or any milestone anniversary update their wedding rings around Valentines Day.

Valentines shopping is fun. You can buy small or large trinkets, write notes, send poems and give candy or treats to anyone, even your boss just because.

Take this time to cherish your loved ones and friends, because tomorrow is not promised to us. Do those niceties today so that you do not have regrets. Take the time to show and say I love you.

For some people who have good, decent items or jewelry pieces that have been passed down, it may be time to dust off some of that old jewelry you have stored away and wear it on your valentine date or dinner. Here are some cleaning tips from the Tip Junkie.

Costume jewelry needs regular cleaning to keep the good luster for longtime use. First choose a good jewelry cleaning solution. Avoid alcohols and acids like ammonia and vinegar. Read the label of the solution to make sure it can be used with the metal being cleaned.

Avoid using soap and water when cleaning costume jewelry. Soaps tend to leave a mark on the surfaces of metal or cause the stones to look dull. While vinegar is lethal to precious gemstones, Windex is also detrimental to delicate finishes of jewelry. Recommended cleaners you can use are chemical, toothpaste, natural, and cloth. Of these toothpaste has been famed to be the low-priced yet effective solution.

Use the solution to clean smudges from gemstones and class. Dab a small amount onto a cotton swab, and gently buff the dirty spot. Never soak jewelry in the solution, because moisture breaks down glue, welding and other adhesives bonding the jewelry together.

Use a baby toothbrush to gently brush off the costume jewelry to prevent scratching. You can also pick residue out of encrusted areas with a toothpick. Dry quickly to avoid rusting. Dab the jewelry with a towel or blow dry on a cool air setting.

To clean silver jewelry Rinse in warm water and pat dry. If silver is tarnished, use a silver-polishing cloth or a jar of silver-cleaning fluid, such as Goddard’s Silver Dip (available at drugstores). (Silver cleaner won’t harm gold and platinum, but it won’t clean them, either.) For jewelry with intricate designs, use a silver-cleaning paste, which can get into small crevices. (Don’t use toothpaste or other abrasive cleaners, which will scratch.) Wipe with a clean, soft cloth.

To clean gold jewelry simply soak for 15 minutes in a solution of two cups warm water and a few drops of a …

Navigating Toronto’s Shopping Neighborhoods – Queen Street

After Yonge Street, Queen Street is the next major shopping street in Toronto. In fact, there may even be more stores per capita along this route that spans the city from the Beaches in the east to Parkdale in the West.

Queen West

Queen West is probably the most well know shopping neighborhood along Queen. At one time it was the hippest spot around, but has become quite commercial with many chain stores setting up along this strip. You will still find some boutiques and Toronto mini chains, but most of the boutiques and Canadian designers are elsewhere along Queen.

Queen West Fashion District

Once you get past Spadina the chain stores are replaced with fabric, craft and bead stores. If you are into crafting, sewing or do it yourself you need to check out this section of Queen.  Places to stop at are MacFab for Amy Butler fabrics, Arton Bead for a vast selection of synthetic and natural bead choices and Americo Original for great wool.

West Queen West

West Queen West is one of the most concentrated sections of boutique shopping in the city, second only to Yorkville. Leave the teenybopper behind in Queen West, this strip is chocked full of contemporary fashions, many from Canadian Designers. Starting past Bathurst, there are fashions for kids, men and women over 25, plus home design. The further west you go the more galleries you will see, as this is the art and design district.

Stop for lunch in Trinity Bellwoods Park or come back in the evening for the bar scene. The revitalized former flop house The Drake Hotel is a popular spot.

Parkdale is further west, and while there are a few boutiques setting up shop here it isn’t yet worth the trip unless you are going for something specific.

Queen East

On the other side of the DVP you will find shopping along Queen East. Two neighborhoods along the eastern part of Queen offer up some great shopping.

Leslieville is to the East as West Queen West was well to the west end of Queen. You will find indie Canadian designers as well has home design and lots of antiques. There are also a number of fantastic bakeries (try Altitude Bakery), a fish and a cheese market.

The Beaches is the commercialized neighbor to Leslieville, but geared to families and brunch crowds. Probably more famous for its annual Jazz festival this neighborhood makes you feel as though you have left the city for cottage country. The Beaches offers tons of shopping and has more artsy feel that Queen West. …

Shopping online is a great way to find good deals

Shopping online is an awesome way to find good prices. Especially when shopping for items that are highly sought after.

A big reason a lot of people prefer to shop online is because they can thoroughly research the product they’d like to buy first. You’ll also be able to check to see which stores offer the item at the absolute best price and which ones offer free shipping.

Another reason why people choose to shop online is because sometimes local retail stores will only have a minimal number of items in stock.

How to find the best deal on the UN55c9000

Where To Shop For Healthy And Organic Produce

Most people are becoming more and more health conscious and that may also mean saving money on organic food. If you have considered this yourself in the past, it is likely that you will come the conclusion that organic food is expensive and difficult to afford. Although it certainly is true that purchasing something organic is generally going to cost you more than if you purchased conventional food, that does not necessarily mean that it is always would be the case. If you know where to shop and are very selective, you can get the organic food that you want without having to worry about breaking the bank in the process.

One option that you have available to you is to look for stores that cater to those who are interested in organic products. If you are trying to buy organic items where conventional items are generally sold, such as at the supermarket, you are going to end up paying a premium price. If there is an organic market in your local area, however, you will often find that the food is not only much more affordable, it is of higher quality. Of course, this is going to differ on a case-by-case basis but it is going to be to your benefit if you identify the local stores where you can purchase something organic on the spur of the moment.

Don’t overlook the possibility of purchasing the organic food that you need on the Internet. There are stores that are available which offer you everything from gluten free shopping online all the way to fresh fruit delivery, straight from the farm. This is going to be beneficial, because these online shops are generally able to pull in items from a variety of areas and can shop around to find a better deal. They also are able to find the items at a better cost because they are purchasing them in bulk instead of purchasing them one at a time.

It also helps if you know some of the types of foods that are not as bad if they are conventional. There are a wide variety of fruits and vegetables that can be purchased relatively safely, even if pesticides were used. In some cases, it is less likely for the pesticides to soak into the fruits and vegetables and in other cases, there is not as much pesticide that is used. If you are going to be purchasing conventional items, try to get them from larger sources. The reason why that is beneficial, it’s because smaller farm tends to use more pesticides so that they have a higher yield from their plants.

One other suggestion that I would have for you is to count the cost in other ways than the bottom line. Yes, you are going to end up paying more for organic food in most cases but you’re also getting a healthier items and as a result, you are getting more for your money. You are also getting something that is typically more flavorful, which makes it worth the money as well.…

Countryside-Like Sanctuary in Hong Kong – Beyond Shopping Spree and Commercialized Entertainment

Despite the notoriety of being highly urbanized, having an unusually high population density and very small in size, one can still find a green sanctuary to soothe the fatigued soul that has been wrecked by the hurly-burly of the city in Hong Kong. After a shopping spree, Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park, Nan-Lian Garden that offers free admittance daily from 7am to 9am is a must-not-miss tourist destination. It is an ultimate attraction for garden and greenery lovers in this highly urbanized city. For food gourmets, they can find MSG-free cuisine here. Visitors will also have a chance to enjoy tea-drinking and this is a good way to revive one’s mental energy.

The Nan-Lian Garden is easy to get to. First, get to the MTR Diamond Hill Station. Take Exit C2. The garden is about one minute of walk away after crossing Sheung Yuen Street.

It is a garden built on an area of approximately 35,000 sq m following the architectural and landscaping style of Tang Dynasty (618 – 906). In the garden, one sees unusual looking rocks specially imported from mainland China. Each of these is from a famous mountain or rock formation. The whole area is laid out with winding paths, ponds, little hills and waterfalls. One will also experience the tranquility of a Japanese garden as there is a collection of ancient bonsai trees. The Chinese likes to describe such a conducive, comforting environment to be ‘As pretty as a poem, as beautiful as a scroll painting’. Then, strolling about in such a conducive environment, one is an assimilated part of the pretty poem and the beautiful painting.

The Tang-Dynasty-styled buildings in the garden is an amazing architectural wonder. The buildings are constructed completely without any nails. The superior workmanship is the masterpiece of a team of Japanese craftsmen who specialize in restoring historic buildings. They were in Hong Kong just to work on this garden!

Walking along the ponds, one will at a point come to a high waterfall. Discreetly hidden behind the waterfall is the Long Men Lou Restaurant. It is a restaurant that serves vegetarian cuisine. One point deserves emphasis here is that the food served here is guaranteed to be totally free of the food flavor enhancer called MSG – monosodium glutamate. Crispy beancurd rolls, preserved mushrooms of special formula and stir-fried asparagus are some of the highly praised items for their subtle and delicate tastes which are beyond description.

There is also a teahouse in the garden where one can learn the art of Chinese tea drinking. Tea drinking is a good way to make a lethargic person mentally energetic again. The legend says that the Chinese tea plants grew out of the great Zen Master Venerable Bodhi Dharma’s eye lids. Once, the Buddhist master Bodhi Dharma fell asleep during meditation. In order not to fall into the same mishap again, Venerable Bodhi Dharma pulled off both his eye lids and threw them on the ground. When the torn-out eye lids hit the round, tea plants grew from them.

After all the sight-seeing and resting in the Nan-Lian Garden, one can go on with one’s journey to the Wong Tai Sin’s Temple, either by MTR or walking.

Wish you a journey sweet in the beginning, sweet in the middle and sweet at the end, and be sweet forever in memory.…
