Keeping up with fashion through fashion blogs

I have always loved fashion even if I never really follow the hot trends. I like to read about fashion as well and I have subscribed to several fashion blogs. By doing so I have a steady flow of updates when it comes to news in the fashion world and I have also stumbled on many, many tips and ideas.

LifeofFashion is one fashion blog that has one post called “How to Dress Fashionably on a Budget” that is worthy to read if you, like me, doesn’t want to spend a fortune on clothes.

There are many positive things by reading fashion blogs that you don’t get with a fashion magazine, and that is that you can interact with the author and other readers, get updated more often than once a month, you save money by not buying the magazine (so you get more cash over for the clothes! :P) and you save the natures resources since the magazine is made of paper.

So stay in touch with the fashion world online, why not start with LifeofFashion?

Saving money - Compare prices

Brought to you by savebuckets.co.uk

Comparing prices before you buy a product can save you quite a lot of money. Let’s say you want to buy a laptop and you run or surf to the nearest store to buy it. I can imagine when you get home you stumble on another site, or you see an advertisement for the very same product you just bought, but with an extremely lower price! I can see your sad and angry face right now!

That’s why I always compare prices before I buy something, it has saved me a lot of money!

Only 4 weeks left!

Now it is only four weeks left to Christmas! Have you bought all your gifts yet? I have! I’m a bit early this year actually, but I bet that it has saved me a lot of stress. I haven’t bought gifts that will digg a hole in my pocket, I have just bought small things that I have heard my loved ones wished for in their everyday life. The price isn’t the most important thing when you are about to get gifts, it will only give you anxiety about your economy!

So I’m all for small and thoughtful gifts! Christmas isn’t a competition where the person who get the biggest and most valuable gifts win!

Have you ever bought an expensive gift to someone and regret it afterwards?

Christmas gift idea: Chocolate Gifts!

ChocolateLike I mentioned in my last post, I have a thing for chocolate, and I always have. When receiving a gift, I have always been happier to get chocolate than a bouquet of flowers.

Gourmet chocolate gifts are great for just about any occasion since most people love chocolates. At Hotel Chocolat, there is an assortment of luxurious chocolates made of the finest quality that make inspirational gifts for almost anyone.

They have published their own tips for Christmas chocolate gifts. But I can right now recommend liquid hot chocolate, that comes in several flavors, for anyone that is willing to try out anything new and exciting!

Happy Thanksgiving - Planning for a new year

Chocolate AddictI’m a little late with wishing Happy Thanksgiving but I guess it’s better late than never! I hope you are thankful for everything in your life, even for reading this :P. I won’t bother you with a list of everything I’m thankful for since it is all the usual stuff.

Christmas will be here soon
and so will New Year’s Eve. Then it is time for coming up with new things for your New Year’s resolutions list that you want to change with yourself and your life, bad habits for example. Everyone has them and they are most likely to be the first on the list.

So I thought; why not do something about them, starting right now? If you start now, you will have a bigger chance to actually keep your bad habits resolutions!

How do I start?
I’m a frequent reader of lifehack.org and they recently posted a very thoughtful post about How to Quit a Bad Habit by Answering Four Power Questions. It is definetly worth reading if you want a helpful push in the right direction.

My habit? I’m an chocolate addict! :P And I plan to reduce my chocolate eating to a minimum. I love chocolate so I won’t stop eating it completely!
