My kids have been to two rockstar-themed parties in a span of six months and now my daughter who is turning seven next year wants to have a rockstar-themed party too. I am quite on the fence on what to do with her party since I am more keen on getting her on a trip. But the pegs above are great for a Martha Stewart DIY party – Daisy Rock Guitars can adorn and be present on decorations!

Me and my friends are into arts and crafts. We have been through hobbies together and have spent considerable amount of money pursuing them. One of the hobbies that have stayed with us through the years is scrapbooking. Photography or taking tons of pictures is also one of our hobbies. These two go hand in hand together actually.

However, we are into making charm bracelets and accessories lately. We got into the hobby by accident, as we were just thinking of a great gifts to give away in one of the parties we were hosting last Christmas season. We found that we can have a jewelry-and-beads-themed party where everyone can make their own Chamilia charm bracelet or Bauble Lulu bead bracelet. Charm bracelets are renowned for their ease of use, versatility, cost effectiveness and various other features across the globe by men and women of all ages, sexes, groups or ethnic and other orientations.

The Kameleon accessories were the biggest hit though, maybe because they had the potential to create so many looks in one bracelet because you can interchange them. No one bracelet is alike! It isn’t surprising as the motto of Kameleon Jewelry, is“Change is Natural,”. Their line encourages the expression of individuality.

Now that Christmas is just a few days away, the Christmas party season is in full swing. There are numerous Christmas parties happening left and right; it is not surprising that party decorations and supplies are in high demand.
A friend will be celebrating her birthday in a few days and every year, she would often find herself competing with other Christmas parties. Thus, it has been her habit to make her birthday parties unique and different. She is asking for my help this year and unfortunately, we have not decided on any particular theme. We hope to buy party stuff like birthday party decorations this weekend so we have been researching for ideas for decorations that will be appropriate for adults. Below are just some of the things we have researched.

• Candles and lights. One option we are considering is having the party devoid of all decorations except for lots of candles and mood lights.

• Chocolates. Since my friend loves chocolates, she also suggested a chocolate party where everything will have chocolates in them, including the decorations.

• Winter. Since we do not have winter here, it is a great opportunity for everyone to experience this season by having a winter-themed party. We are going gaga just thinking about decorating the venue.

I would love to receive candies or chocolates during special days. I am just being honest here, who could resist these goodies?

Lately, strawberries dipped in chocolate together with wine are a staple in our weekend night desserts.

But since I am trying to be healthy and lose weight, the husband has been giving flowers during special occasions, like my birthday and Valentine’s Day last month. Since he knows how much I idolize the craftiness of Martha Stewart (I went crazy with her wedding detail ideas during our own wedding – I wanted to copy each and every one!), he just picks Martha Stewart arrangements for me. Now, that is a sweet thing to do, remembering my preferences!

I am not talking about the spoilers on TV but  the ones that bring style and speed to the car. A friend has been revamping his Honda City car and he has been looking at possible spoilers he would want to buy. It is actually the most popular among accessories chosen for a car. CARiD.com has top-quality spoilers made of fiberglass or ABS plastic for durability and a precise OEM fit with any car model. They also can match your car’s color with their computerized color-coding system! In fact they are known all over the car industry to have sharpest and most defining factory spoilers, custom spoilers, lip spoilers, and rear roof wings around. My friend swears by them!
