A Full March I Had

Calendar_march

How time flies! The whole of March, I spent some time orienting hubby with the Internet! We both have developed typing skills. Maybe just a difference with the speed :)

So our first stop was Electronic Mail! We've covered the basics - entering username and password, learning the left side bar for navigation and sending email. Added bonus were attaching a picture and saving an email to drafts. We didn't touch our filters yet but had the kids set them for us. We know how to click on them just as we click the mainstays - Inbox or Sent Mail or Spam.

Cocomo Time!

Tish_cocomo_puri

No, I didn't say Docomo, the Japanese mobile operator. Cocomo is a swimwear brand and they're throwing 3 suits to Here Tishie Tishie followers! Yes, a giveaway!

I'm a new follower and I want me and/or my daughter to try Cocomo. Who wouldn't want to own beachwear that's perfect this summer! I personally love cute tankinis! Do join by March 27th!

What about you?

Beauty Treats from Shen's Addiction

Shenheader_purijc

I was reading through Shen's Twitter and realized how dedicated she is to improve her skin, thereby benefiting all her blog readers. And she's now celebrating 3 years online. And I quote:

Readers, would it be so bad that i admit i don't test products just for you but mainly because i want to improve my skin? :) hehehe! Quite honesty beauty blogging is a very personal thing for me. If i want to test something, i need to be sure that i have the means to cure my skin reactions.. Else, i wouldn't try a product at all. After all, receiving free stuff doesn't come with a medical insurance to pay for my derma:) same goes for when i buy my own stuff to try out. treat me as friend who's just sharing my thoughts on my latest finds :)

What is a Quirk?

Suyenud

A quirk to me sounds like an unusual word. So if I were to define it, then it should pertain to something unusual too.

To quote a definition from The Free Dictionary
quirk (kwûrk) n.1. A peculiarity of behavior; an idiosyncrasy: 
Every man had his own quirks and twists" (Harriet Beecher Stowe).

If you'd like to know more about quirks, and the many variations of it -

Lipstick Lover Wants to Blush

Smalltowngirl_blushls

This mama (and gramma) loves lipsticks!

Yes, I admit to that vanity. And at each purchase, I get 3 differing colors. With such quantity at each buy, I get to stock quite a number. And I throw some to the bin with such hesitancy as soon as they reach expiration or smell and taste funny.

But I will confess though that blushes make me afraid. I put on some, but rare are those times. I haven't quite perfected the art to it. And I say it's never too late to learn, right?
