Women in Charge

There is a tax free week in NY State but this one I’m talking about is that tax free shopping all the time. But of course like all the good things there are some conditions to that…

I thought I should write about this here so that you can take advantage of it.

In September of 2005, New York City permanently eliminated the city sales tax of 4% on clothing and footwear purchases under $110. In April of 2006, the state of New York followed suit and repealed its portion of the sales tax on these items. The result is that the five boroughs of New York City are the only counties in the state of New York that charge no sales tax on these purchases.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to write anything about this before and now it’s after the Oscars and we can only talk about the winners and not the speculations.

When Avatar came up to big screen I really thought it was gonna be Avatar’s year but I was surprised that Hurt Locker won. Anyway I liked both films but not much. There are films that I didn’t yet watch so I can’t say that Hurt Locker was the best one or not. Read the rest of this entry »

Chewing…

It’s is easy and we learn it before we can even walk, yet there is a way that we might do it wrong… Actually I shouldn’t say wrong; I should say that there is a way to do it better, and this way might help us loose some weight.

A typical person chews her food 10 times of chewing before swallowing. Some teenagers even stuff their mouth with food and swallows every 5 seconds. Imagine that. Read the rest of this entry »

Exercising should be an important part of our daily lives… Sometimes we can’t set a time for exercising but our daily activities can be part of our exercising routine… Here are some tips;

Fitness tip # 1 – Split it up

Instead of spending one hour to the gym, do six 10-minute workout sessions throughout the day. Try some slow stretches, leg crunches or lunges when you get up in the morning, during short breaks at work or while you are watching your favourite show at T.V. Read the rest of this entry »

Today I’ll write about organizing closets. I’m sure most people don’t do these everyday (i.e. me!) but doing little everyday saves us lots of time than doing it all together…

Hang clothing by category; jeans and casual pants, dress pants, skirts, suits, dresses, casual shirts, dress shirts and tops etc. Be sure to return each item to its appropriate section of the closet. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m continuing to write about organizing. This subject is a sore subject for me since the beginning of my cancer I wasn’t able to write everything chronologically. I hope noone has to be diagnosed anything serious but it’s a good thing to keep track of things. So here it is;

Use a marble or spiral notebook for medical notes. Record dates, health care providers’ contact information, visits, test results, phone calls, follow-up appointments, etc. List the person you saw or spoke to, when and what was discussed. Bring the notebook with you to your appointments. Read the rest of this entry »

Since these days I’m looking to a lot of home decoration stores I decided to write here too…

Ok; I want new window treatments for our little living room, large living room and bedroom but I don’t want something so basic, I want something unique, nice looking and easy to use and clean and also just maybe for small living room something with a bold prints… Am I asking too much?

When I was searching all over the internet I found this about window treatments and copying here…

Trends come and go in fashion, but that is common today is the tendency in the body to mimic the trend of fashion. Window treatments are striking a familiar chord color and picked the flavors of the details in the clothes to find, bold prints color combinations. In all, the window section some interesting clues, the greatest opportunities for homeowners at prices more than ever. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m sorry to write this but it’s what I think; I was disappointed with the movie. When I red the book it was so emotional and so full of story even though there is not much going on and you don’t even know the reason what really happened, you are right there with them; on the road… But the movie was short, rushed, not really covering the book and it didn’t do justice to the book.

I was talking to co-workers during the lunchtime. One of the people from another department came looking for a document and I wanted to sit on my chair to check my desk. Read the rest of this entry »

I love being organized…Who wouldn’t?

Everything is where it’s supposed to be, no clutter, nothing out of place, junk mail goes to garbage can/recycle right away… Just perfect, I mean almost, because nothing is perfect…

Are you kidding me? Who can do this? With everyday life, taking care of kids, cooking, laundry, going to the office, appointments, shopping etc…Is there time to take care of the mess that seems to be adding up everyday?

But, there is a solution, at least there is help. Almost every magazine has a section about organizing or websites, or even companies about organizing your home, office, even you… You call them, they come and clean out your clutter.

But if you just want to do it yourself, then you need to read the tips. Fist start out small, don’t think about organizing the whole house, think about one little section of it, then move to the other section. Little by little you can do it, but if you think about a big project then you might get discouraged…

Being disorganized causes stress, money and time loss. So make a plan and start…

Now, I’m going to write what I learned (but not yet practiced) about organizing;
