First Sunset of February

I grabbed my Samsung camera when I saw the sky turns red orange. I was sitting by the gazebo in our backyard and waiting for the sunset. I love to go to the Indian River and capture a good shot but, the temperature on that day was chilly so; I stayed here and took this. What do you think?

I wish there's no cable wire in there. Anyway, I love this area in our backyard. There are so many birds here infact, we have frequent visitors :-) the woodpecker, cardinals and quail. Awesome huh?

Java Chip Frappuccino Ice Cream: Starbucks Coffee

Before I doze off to sleep, let me share one of my favorite ice cream flavors, Java Chip Frappuccino by Starbucks Coffee. Lately, I noticed that I am craving for ice cream more frequently. This is my third in one week. Aside from this flavor, I like rocky road so; what's yours?

Eat ice cream and satisfy your cravings but, not too much okay ( Wink)? Thank you for reading my blog and see you around.

No nonsense Trendy Fashion

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense. All opinions are 100% mine.

I will never consider myself as a Fashionista but, I can be Trendy. At home, I am comfortable wearing my usual get-up like sneakers, shorts, T-shirt; and I wore two accessories: my wedding and engagement rings. When heading to the mall for shopping, I wear jeans and sleeveless; and since I live in the Sunshine State, my outfit is pretty much the usual attire by many. When the temperature goes down, I am the first person you see grinning from ear to ear because I will be able to wear my fashionable boots. I love incorporating No nonsense tights and leggings into my wardrobe because it is easy to mix and match. To show you my fashion style, here is a fashion collage that I made awhile ago:

Do you like it? I have a yellow colored No nonsense tights and I like wearing it because it is very affordable. If you are looking for quality and easy to find leg wear, please check out No nonsense products in food & drug stores as well as mass retail stores in your area. I recommend this product for a great look for less.

By the Beach

We live nearby the beach but, it's been weeks that we have not visited Cocoa. We were very busy for the holiday. On the first week of January, we were caught up with a minor problem with our renter. She moved with no payment for a week and did not give us a notice. We were relieved really. The condo was vacant for 4 days, someone moved on the 13th. Glad that we were done cleaning and re-painting the condo before the viewing. And today, is a movie Monday. Boy, I am so glad! Have you seen the new Les Miserables?

Anyway, we will be heading to the beach any day this week. I miss walking on the sand and enjoying the sea breeze. I have a new DSLR and never tried it. This week is the biggest test for my photography prowess.

With these pictures, I am only using my Blackberry phone and no special feature whatsoever. I still think it was alright. What do you think?

I can't wait to use my DSLR and take some good shots by the beach. Thanks for stopping by and please visit here next time.

Monkey Print Tees

I got this shirt with monkey print for FREE in exchange of an honest review. It was sent in the old address that we have so; the new renter didn't bother to send it back or send it to me. I happen to pass by the neighborhood and she handed me the package. Better late than never huh?

The size fits me well and the fabric of this shirt is very soft. This is a promotional shirt and the company has only white color available for review. It would be awesome if there are other available colors and I could have gotten a green or orange. The material is not wrinkle-free as you see in this photo and it's a bit messy. I hope the company will use the fabric that's wrinkle resistant. Overall, I am happy because I got the product, it is free and the fitting is perfect. To know more about this company, please check out the site of this tshirtprinting.net.

Red Alabama Shirt for Christmas

My husband loves to watch college football games on TV. He was excited this month because the Crimson Tide, his favorite team will be playing for championship. I watch the game with him sometimes in fact; I wore an Alabama apparel just to get myself in the mood of the game. I have a shirt with a big letter A sign on it. It actually stands for Alabama and I like it because it is the initial of my name. Hubby bought it last Christmas. Upon seeing this shirt online, I told hubby to buy me this red top and the skirt as well. I like the design of this tops and the red color is my favorite. I got the hunch that my husband would buy it; after all, he loves seeing me cheering for his favorite team.

When we live in Mississippi, my husband bought me an NFL Jersey and that year, I was cheering for Saints who became the champion. I also have Saints caps and Saints sweater. Anyway, one of my friends back home collects T-shirts and caps. So far, I bought Mississippi and Florida caps for her and she wanted me to buy her an Alabama and Georgia caps. She sent me money to purchase the items though. Right now, I am looking for University of Alabama shirts for me. Are you looking for Alabama apparel? Just click the links above and I am sure, you will like their selections. Go and check it out!

Girl's Night is Fun with Hpnotiq

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hpnotiq. All opinions are 100% mine.

You must be 21 years or older to drink alcoholic beverages and as always, please remember to drink responsibly. Now, I am so excited with Hpnotiq site because I can share it to my girl friends. One of our successful friends will fly from San Francisco and will  spend a New Year celebration with us. It will be exciting because we haven't seen her in ages.

Untitled-6

We will have a fun and exciting girl's night and we are all expecting hair down music up! Isn't it nice that eventhough we are all busy with careers and family, we still have time to meet up and catch up? You know, sharing exciting life, updates on children, talking the traditional family fun and most importantly, listening to good milestones that we have had.

There will always be music and drinks adding the zest of the moment. We are all excited for our exclusive get-together and it's truly a girl's night. I already shared the Website to one of our friends and she was thrilled to find a recipe for drinks. She will be hosting the party and got so many ideas already. We both love the celebs and recipe pages of the Primp & Prep site.

If you are attending a girl's night party this New Year, you might check out this product and give it to the host. I am sure, they will appreciate the gesture. Have a wonderful New Year to all of you and please drink responsibly.

Avoid the Hassle: Get a Disk Backup

Are you looking for a secondary storage solution? That is really important! Have I told you that I was hacked before and the bad culprit deleted all my files? Oh yeah and it was a terrible ordeal! I have no backup and I was caught off-guard. I was so mad at myself because I take for granted about securing my files. I lost all the documents that I stored in my PC and there is no way that I can get it back. When I bought my new PC last Christmas, it has a bundle with portable automatic backup.
Photobucket
Now, I have a backup and you should too! Are you searching for flexible data storage? I read that Nexsan is one of the leaders in production of data storage devices. If you needed data storage for archiving and backing up cloud data and more then, you should get a Disk backup.
 
Nexsan will backup and restore your data and if there is a threat, you will recover all your data. You will have peace of mind because it has built-in features to help protect and recover data so; worry no more. Your files are important so; you need to secure them now. Having backup will give you assurance and believe me; it will truly save your day. Get a backup now and avoid a future hassle in your life.

My Favorite Christmas Ornament for 2012

While watching the Christmas Movies in Hallmark, the characters always mention the word "tradition" and each of them vary. Some family traditions are: baking Christmas Cookies, buying PJ's to all members in the family, singing Christmas carols after dinner,  and more.

I was thinking we started our tradition five years ago when hubby and I bought special ornaments each year. For 2012, I found Mr. Christmas.  It is a voice recognition Christmas Tree Ornament and it sync with the lights and the sounds of 24 Christmas Carols. I like to continue this tradition. What's yours?
