A Woman’s Diary

There are many websites online that allow you to create a logo design and great business cards. One of which I found to be EXTREMELY user friendly and quite amazing is Logoyes.com.

I just made my very own business card easily through their online demo. You just pick a logo from the many categories they have, write your company name, and then even change colours or the font of your design.

You can even make your very own business card like I did and put your own contact information. I just left it as a generic information as I’m not really going to use them. But I am definitely thinking about making some for my main blog and passing it out to people I meet at trade shows and events.

Try and make one yourself. It really is THAT EASY!!

I absolutely love shopping online. Like I mentioned in one of my previous posts…it’s becoming very VERY addicting.

I spend a whole great deal of time on Amazon. I always by books, dvds, and other things on there. Of course you have to use Amazon coupons so get great deals.

After all, who doesn’t like saving on some purchases they make? I know I do!

I am seriously spending way too much money online. It seems that everyday I’m buying new things on the web. The worst part is, I can’t stop!! Seriously…I end up shopping on Amazon, Ebay, and even some local tech shops in my area. I CAN’T STOP!!!!!!!

I swear…everyday this week I purchased something. Most of it has been movies, tv box sets, beads, and other miscellaneous items. At one time I even thought about purchasing an iPod Nano and an iPod Shuffle at the same time. Don’t ask me what I’ll need both for but I would of seriously bought it if FutureShop.ca wasn’t sold out of it online.

Someone smack me please….I can’t be spending all this money for no good reason. *sigh*

Websites such as this directbuy one have plenty of information for readers in regards to home furnishings.

Now why would I be interested in a site like that? Well, the other day I have a dream. More like a daydream while I was crocheting in our small living room. It was really weird and I just thought about redecorating that entire room with brand new furnishings.

I have it all planned out in my mind and can literally visualize how I want it. I’m sure my parents won’t mind if I were to buy new stuff for that room. I completely want to change it up as it’s so dull and boring.

We’ll see how that home project gets going because first I have to save up some cash.

Want to be part of a worthy cause? Then why not donate your car, boat, plane, house, or even RV to CarAngel.com.

Why would I want to do that?
By donating one of the selected above, you are helping out those in need. At CarAngel.com they use the donated item to help with funding for preschool and grade school children from countries worldwide where poverty is a huge issue.

I think this is great. I’ve never heard of donating huge items like that which can help fund programs worldwide, but this seems really worthwhile. Why have the extra cars or boats that you are no longer using just sit out park or in your garage? There’s no need for it so give it to somewhere where it counts.

They also use some of the money raise to make videos for kids and teens. They have given away over 2.4 million videos. Check out one of the videos below.

Check it out and donate car today for such a great and worthy cause that will benefit many in struggling countries.

OMG…I’m totally in love with the new colour for iPods. It’s PINK!!!! It came right in time for Valentine’s Day too, so you can easily get it for your sweetheart!! I totally want one now.

I’m so happy that Apple actually thinks about making different colours of their products. It’s great because not everyone likes the same thing. The different colours with iPod Nanos and Shuffles is just great.

I absolutely love this company for doing this and think more should follow in their footsteps…especially those companies who make laptops. It would be nice to see a variety of colours instead of black, white, or silver ALL THE TIME.

I got an interesting horoscope today in my inbox from Astrocenter.com which I subscribe for. This is what it said for Scorpio which is my zodiac sign.

Your business may require a lot of phone calls and paperwork today, Tina. A business partner or a friend may be instrumental in helping to clear up some loose ends that have been left hanging. Be sure you get any work that’s left over from previous weeks out of the way, as you’ll probably soon become even more busy. When you get bored, remember that success lies ahead. Good luck!

Interesting enough since I am starting a new job today and it deals with being on the phones a lot. The business partner? I’m thinking that would be my good friend who also works there and has been helping me by answering questions I had about the job. I’ll be more busy? Well, I’m sure that is true because I usually just blog all day long and didn’t have a “real” job then. Success?…great…I LOVE SUCCESS!!

See? Some horoscopes are really dead on especially when you apply it to your own life.

I just bought this 3-disc dvd set for my mom the other day. She saw it on a commercial selling for $50. Of course I did the smart thing and looked on Ebay first. I ended up buying it for $25. Sweet!! Saved a bunch of money!!

And yes…it was an original and brand new. I make sure by reading all the information on the page twice and checking all the feedback the seller had which of course was all positive.

I know my mom will be ecstatic once she receives it because she’s a big Elvis fan. Not one of those crazy fans who have EVERYTHING of his, but she’s liked him since she was a kid. She is also collecting his dvds now so that’s one of the reasons why she wanted this dvd set.

Do you have a child who is thriving in sports or other hobbies? Then why not brighten up their day and give them engraved plaques in recognition of the progress they have made.

I’m sure this will make the child want to accomplish more things and set new goals for themselves.

I remember being a kid and getting medals or other awards for things I’ve done well, and this had boost my self esteem. It also made me very proud of what I have accomplished. The best part was showing it off to my parents and friends.

It does make a difference in a child’s life.

To give you an update from my previous post, shopping for dresses wasn’t that bad. In fact, I ended up finding two different styles I liked. Now we just have to see what the other two bridesmaids think about the styles my sister and I picked.

In other news, I’ve been further developing my photography portfolio. I actually uploaded some new photos to my flickr account. Here is a glimpse of them below.

As I mentioned numerous times, I am completely addicted to shopping on Ebay. You can get so many great items like clothing, movies, electronics, and even discount furniture for amazing prices!!

I have been shopping on Ebay like EVERYDAY!! There hasn’t been a day yet where I didn’t sign on to check on my bids or even bid on some other items. It’s crazy and the funny thing is I get deliveries like everyday now!!

But ya…I think I should stay away from it because I’m wasting so much money for no reason. The problem is, is that it’s so damn addicting!!!

I am slowly going crazy…1,2,3,4,5,6,switch…slowly, slowly, going crazy…6,5,4,3,2,1.

If you’re out of ideas on what to get that special someone this holiday season, why not make it easy! You can easily purchase wholesale flowers from online stores or even some places in most cities.

Flowers are always a great gift to get someone when you’re out of luck and unsure what they want. They make beautiful center pieces on the table and look absolutely gorgeous!

Check out for what type of flower and the price. You’ll find they vary from place to place but I’m sure you’ll snag up a deal around this time of the year.

I love surfing the web looking for new and exciting things. I have come across so many amazing stuff that varies from clothing, music, business performance management, software, services, movies, makeup, games, and other things.

The world wide web is really something. There is anything and everything you want available at the tip of your fingernails. It’s crazy!!

Have you ever found any great goodies? What’s the best thing you’ve found?

Did any of you watch the Tyra Show yesterday? It was a real interesting episode where she had experts show the audience how to spot a fake handbag, weave, diamonds, and other things. It was an awesome episode in my opinion because it makes you aware of all the fake products out there that people are trying to sell. It’s crazy and I’m sure many people have fell into the trap.

Just some tips I learned from the show:

• Feel the product.
• Does the inside feel/look cheap?
• Check to see if there is any lose stitching or threads.
• If it’s a designer bag and it’s less than $200, it’s too good to be true.

I couldn’t find a glimpse from the show on Youtube, but I did find another video from the Today Show where they investigate counterfeit luxury merchandise online. Take a look below.

Are you an Ebay shopper? I definitely am. In the past few days I have placed bids on numerous items ranging from dvds, handbags, jewelry, and even camcorders. It’s really amazing at the stuff you can find.

I have honestly found dvds as low as $5!! It’s really sweet because some of them are new releases that are factory sealed. Plus, I even found some buyers who give free shipping in Canada!! Yup…I was one happy camper when I found that and have placed bids on those goodies. Sorry my lips are sealed to who those sellers were. Heehee…afterall, I want to win the auctions. LOL!

So back to my initial question, are you an Ebay shopper? What sort of things do you end up buying?
