If you love entertaining at home but are short on space, well no worries.  There is a simple option available.  Just get an extendable dining table. It gives you the opportunity to place a large dining table in a small apartment or a room.    An extendable dining table can fit into a small room which takes only a minimum of space when it is needed for a small gathering.  When you have a bigger crowd,  it can be extended to seat all the guests.  Tables like this is great to conserve and maximize space in the home.

Cute Sticky Notes

I am a sticky note person.  I love using sticky notes at work and at home.  I guess it’s an age thing.  I am at a stage where I tend to forget easily.  Hence, sticky notes save my day.  I have them all over my desk to remind me of some deadlines and in my kitchen to remind me of my groceries.   So, when I saw these cute sticky notes from UrbanOutfitters.com, I know I need to get some.   A set of this 5 ultra-cute mini sticky notes come together in a notepad and each one has a playful themed graphic.   With these cute sticky notes, you can keep yourself reminded of your appointments, chores,  or return a telephone call in style.

Carry Your Belongings In Style

barbara

In the mid 90’s, I bought myself a clear tote bag from Esprit.  I loved the bag as it was big and I can fit many things inside it.  Of course the contents of the bag were visible to many people.  I usually kept my things in a medium size fabric bag and then put the said bag into the clear tote.  I want a little bit of privacy especially when it comes to my makeup set, hoodia gordonii pills or my purse which I carry in my bag. Alas, after a few months, the plastic turned yellowish and I discarded it.  Earlier today when I was at the mall, I saw a lady carrying a Polo Ralph Lauren Clear Pony Tote.  It sure brought back memories of my Esprit bag.  Now I am really interested in getting this Clear Pony Tote.

I go grocery shopping once a week.  Most stores have opted for the “No Shopping Bag” Day during weekends.  Hence I have been using a recycle bag to keep my groceries, you know those free recycle bags you get when you have signed up for some telecommunication package.  I really need to get a more fun and colourful shopping bag like this Barcelona Stripe Market Tote.  It is durable and has a roomy interior.  I love the bold stripes and the bright colours.  Using the Barcelona Stripe Market Tote will definitely brighten up my shopping.
