Well Good Morning to One and All!!!!!!

Nine days to go to the big day, how are you are with the shopping... We all get so stressed out over it all and running around like mad and I know I say it year after year Ill be more organised next year.. Ya right has not happened yet.


Well here are a few tips how to make the shopping a little less stressful....

Plan Ahead

Yep, I know I kinda already said it, but planning ahead can save a lot of stress, keep the budget down and make sure that everyone is purchased for. It may come natural for some and others might be laughing reading this right now. But there’s still time! Read the rest of this post for all the tips and you’ll bust through this shopping like no one’s business!

Set a Budget

Set a budget and stick to it... If you set a Christmas budget ahead of time so you don’t end up getting caught up in the crazy that can be Christmas. This also helps you decide what to purchase, if it doesn’t fit in the budget, you don’t buy it. Simple!

Make a list

List out everyone you need to buy for and either what you’d like to get them with a price by it or if you don’t know yet, include a price you’re planning on spending. As you purchase gifts for people you can start to mark off names and fill in the actual amount you spent which also helps you stay within the budget. Everyone gets purchased for, you’re staying in the budget and — most importantly — you’re stress free!

Stay in one Store

One stop shop is the answer! I know you might not be able to do every gift all in one store, but if you’ve planned ahead and made a list you should be able to narrow down the amount of stores you have to go to.


Happy Christmas Shopping, Enjoy the fun and frolics and most of all laugh...... It is the season after all to be JOLLY...

Bye Bye for now!!!! I need to get shopping...xx

Good evening all...Hope everyone is good and getting into the Christmassy spirit.

Now I was just thinking, its getting cold, frosty and our little toes and feet are being couped up all the time now, so maybe it would be a nice treat for yourself to give your feet a treat...A welcome pedicure.

I for one love it... my feet benefit from it greatly, its so relaxing and gets the blood circulation moving..

So heres a few tips.
 
Soak feet in warm water, and mix the soap since it can be drying; instead, add some Vitamin E directly to the water.

Use a pumice stone to buff away dead skin, and an emery board to file the nails by swiping in one direction.

Then apply a few drops of Vitamin E to cuticles and massage until absorbed, then use an alcohol swab to wipe any remaining oils from the nail surface,  being careful not to wipe the cuticles.

Brush on a base coat

Some final bits of foot-related advice:

Vaseline will only make your skin slippery, not moisturized.

Walking barefoot on carpet can draw moisture from the feet and lead to even more dryness. Try a drop of Krazy Glue on superficial skin cracks.

And if you don’t have time for a fresh pedicure, rub in a touch of cuticle oil to your feet — it’ll add moisture and shine to your polish so it will look like you just got a nail treatment.

Now if you have nothing else to do on a Saturday night. Why not get to it and treat your little toes...

Bye for now.. Happy Toes xx

The Bearpaw Story.....

Tom Romeo founded the BEARPAW brand in 2001 with the intention of redefining casual footwear by utilizing sheepskin, nature’s own technical fabric, to create comfortable and stylish shoes. Sheepskin naturally regulates body temperature so feet stay cooler and drier in the heat and warmer in the cold. In one of the most competitive footwear market segments, BEARPAW has carved out a niche area by providing customers with comfort and sensibility to set itself apart.  Built to deliver quality and style, every pair of BEARPAW shoes focuses on comfort and fit, using the highest standards of craftsmanship.

You want these believe me....

Enjoy the weekend.. Talk soon, Bye Bye for now..
