What Do I Want for Christmas? A Shiny New MINI
That’s right, it’s happened, I’ve thrown in the towel. The time has come and I’ve simply got to get back on the road; no more being an angry pedestrian, I need to take my rage to the roads again and how am I planning to do this? With a shiny new MINI.
What’s turning me from a humble pedestrian into a driver again? A few things, really, mainly the fact that my workplace has moved and buses are about as reliable as a solar-powered torch and also that in the new year I’m planning to move out of my flat to somewhere probably a little further out of town so I can get a larger place for less – clearly I’m going to need a set of wheels, and a stylish MINI seems to be the way forward for me.
I’m not really a fan of driving; I find it an unpleasant, stressful experience for the most part, and I can really do without the added expense of owning, insuring, maintaining and running a vehicle, but after just a few days of taking the bus, I’ve already had enough. It’s always late and I don’t really have the patience to keep waiting for it and then having to be in such proximity with other people for the duration of the journey. If I could do the walk, I would, but a nice little new MINI in black seems like the best option right now. Looking at the purchase and running costs, it’ll probably work out a bit less than the bus does anyway.
Ray Ban Sunglasses On My Christmas List
There are many discerning women like myself that enjoy the finer things in life. We appreciate having nice things, keeping up appearances and fitting in with the fashions and trends of the day from harem pants to Ray Ban sunglasses. Inculded in this are the accessories. In fact, I would say accessories are what make or break an outfit, they are the details that show you have thought about what you are doing and wearing and that you have the sense to change your look with accessories rather than the whole expensive outfit.
One accessory I have come to appreciate more as I get older is sunglasses. Not only can they look cool but they also serve a practical purpose – particularly while driving. With all the snow we have had recently, the light has been blinding. Then the snow melts and we have the low sun directly in the windscreen and also bouncing off a wet road – these two factors make for some dangerous driving conditions unless you protect your eyes.
I like to do this in style and it’s time for an update so, seeing as the Rayban’s are back in fashion, they are well and truly on my Christmas list!
The Cutest Baby Dresses
Well Christmas is almost upon us and I’ve just found out that my new grandchild that is expected in the new year will be a girl! This will be our first granddaughter and we are all so excited!
Maybe its a woman thing but I just can’t help it. I have seen the cutest baby dress ever and have been unable to resist it. My husband thinks I’m crazy but I have made up a stocking for ‘the bump’ and included cute baby dresses for her. We have warm winter ones in berry shades with girlie flowers on them, I have even bought dresses for her as she gets a little bigger and starts needing clothes for the Spring ( a little denim pinafore dress that was a must have!)
Of course, little boys are gorgeous and cure but there is something very special for a mother or grandmother when it comes to buying baby clothes for a little girl and this is very probably an interest that will be shared as the child grows – particularly when they become teenagers!

Making Wedding Plans Easier
Theres nowt so exciting and uplifting to get us out of the doom and gloom of the reccession as an impending wedding. They fill us with hope and happiness but can often be quite stressful events for the planners.
So, lets make it easier. Along with the trend of strapless dresses, mis-matched bridesmaids and short veils, one of the hottest things for wedding planners this year will be wedding websites.
Templates are available for you to create your own website dedicated entirely to your wedding. You can choose your layout and colours, upload photos and content and set yourself up for an easier arrangement. But why would you want to use wedding websites?
Well, for a start, its much easier for you to have everything in one place. You can discuss your big day in as much detail as you would like eg, time, date, venue. You can also add the sort of detail that would make your day as perfect as you want it but with information that you can’t simply add on to an invite. For example, you make like to theme your wedding, you may have a certain dress code that you would like your guests to adhere to (and believe me there are some people that need to be told not to turn up in trackie bottoms or jeans!) or you might like to open up a discussion on suggested music etc.
You can then do your bit for the environment by emailing all your guests the web address and they have all the information they need at their fingertips – no lost invites, no forgotten timings!
It can also be a nice idea to give your guests a little background on the happy couple, how you met, where you intend to have your honeymoon, extended family etc. You can also put special messages on your site to thank guests for gifts or family for their help.
The wedding websites are a fantastic way of keeping all your information in one place and also add to the ‘do it yourself’ theme which is both money saving and great fun.
House of Prada – Destined For Greatness
Prada was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada and right from day one it was intended to be a high end, luxurious supplier of leathergoods.
Despite Mario’s misgivings about women in business (he so wouldn’t have got away with that these days!!), his daughter and grand-daughter followed him into the family business taking it ever onwards and upwards. From making handbags and travelling trunks, Prada continued in the fashion industry and progressed to clothing, bags, shoes and my favourite – Prada sunglasses.
In the early 80′s, Prada stores opened up in Florence, Paris, Italy, Madrid and New York and became famous for their immaculate lines of top quality fabrics and simple designs in basic colours – less is more dahling! Add to this the understated Prada label and you have a luxury design that quietly screams sophisticated elegance.
Prada boutiques now sit in prominent positions throughout the world from Honalulu to Munich, from Auckland to Moscow and everywhere inbetween. However, you do not have to visit a store to get your fix of Prada – you can shop online from retailers such as Blaze Sunglasses to Harvey Nichols online stores.
Ray Ban Sunglasses – From U S Air Force To Catwalk
Designed in the 1930′s for US Air Force pilots, the aviator sunglasses have enjoyed various stints at the height of fashion and once again find themselves at the top of the charts – you just can’t keep a good style down!

Designer Sunglasses For The Perfect Christmas Present
Christmas is almost upon us and I know many people who are beginning to feel the present buying panic.
It’s not always about not being able to afford Christmas or even not looking forward to the whole family party scenario but sometimes it’s just that we get stuck for ideas!
Well, I for one, am putting designer sunglasses on my Christmas list! Why, I hear you ask. It’s winter. Yes it is but in great British tradition we get more sunny days during the winter than we do in the summer. The sun is lower in the sky and being as short as I am, it shines directly into my eyes when I’m driving as I am too short for the sun visor. Add to that the annoying fact that we get the sun relection bouncing off our wet roads and I spend most of the winter driving around being dazzled and dangerous!
So, as a safety feature I would like some designer sunglasses please, thank you very much Father Christmas. Not only will they look cool but I will also be able to see where I’m going, which is always a bonus to other road users and pedestrians!
Pheromones – The Helping Hand To A Better Love Life
Life gets busier and more complicated by the day and finding love is not easy. We are always dashing between jobs and events, between commitments and responsibilites and the time it takes to find Mr or Mrs Right is drastically reduced.
Much scientific research ahs been done into what attracts us to a suitable mate and no matter what we think is our type, or who we think we would go for, at the end of the day you simply can’t really help who you fall for. Many a time you will hear people lament that they just knew, or there was that instant attraction. This attraction has nothing to do with their blonde hair or size ten figure and certainly not their bank balance!
What is responsible for this attraction is purely and simply a chemical. Pheromones.
You can now take the short cut to attracting a mate and buy pheremones to use when you are apecifically going out with this in mind. Pheromones are available for men and women so why not give your love life a helping hand and speed up the whole dating process.
Getting The Best Deal In Car Insurance
Cheap car insurance is something that we are all looking for at the moment and it definitely pays to take a little time and do your homework. It is one of the essential expenses that has seen a huge rise for it’s customers in the last year or so. This is due to too many uninsured drivers costing the insurance companies extra money as well as all the personal injury claims and fraudulent claims. Unfortunately, it is a fact of life, that when an industry gets abused in this way, they have to recoup their losses to ensure they don’t go under and those losses end up showing up in our premiums.
Get online and compare prices and you will find that with a little delving you will find a company that can offer you similar cover to what you are used to but for a cheaper price. Of course, this is very differnet to many utility bills where one company tends to have the monopoly. With car insurance, whilst companies like to recoup their losses arising from other issues outside of your personal policy, they still need our custom to do it.
These results in us still being able to find cheap car insurance, it just takes a little more legwork. Now, if you visit a company such as Powerseeker you will find that they really do understand the individual circumstance and can tailor your insurance premiums to reflect your lifestyle. This is better than paying for other peoples mistakes and much kindr on the bank balance!
Specific insurance policies are developed for women because, despite what men like to think, women are more careful and have less accidents and are therefore less likely to make a claim so we do enjoy reduced premiums. It is also important if you are a new or young driver that you get the best deal you can. Getting on the road at all is difficult these days and you don’t want to be paying an arm and a leg for your insurance.
Companies such as the aforementioned can also make special dispensations for the over-50′s, classic car owners, caravan owners, taxi drivers and many other variants that will culminate in a tailor made cheap car insurance just for you.
