I have been having sleepless nights and one of the causes is the travelling that my daughter and I will have to do next week. Sans the husband. What makes this trip extra stressful is the packing. Since there will only be one adult during the trip, we have to choose and pack our things wisely. It’s a different thing when the husband is with us as I can rely on two strong hands and stronger shoulders to carry our bags. We travel frequently and I get to pack our things but honestly, I am quite bored with my usual ensemble – jeans and shirts plus a cardigan or sweater. It’s a good thing I stumbled upon a blog post regarding essentials when travelling courtesy of Simple Mom.

Following Tsh’s advice, I bought some new tank tops and girly blouses today. And since I can’t seem to resist, I got myself some funny t shirts too. During our last trip two weeks ago, I packed our stuff seven hours prior to our flight. It was absolutely stressful. This time, I intended to do the job a day before our flight to lessen the anxiety. I still have to do an inventory of things that we should bring as early as now so I can easily add or subtract those that we might or might not need. Wish me luck!

Collect moments, not things. Since things gets broken, outdated or lost. On the other hand, it is the moments that make our relationships meaningful and long lasting.

Bubbles usually equal fun and laughter. Nowadays, one can even add an extra oomph to an event by making bubbles a part of the party. It’s a perfect add on if you have bands and dance performances. Bubbles know no age limit – both young and those young at hear enjoy them. From lightweight bubble guns to commercial bubble machines like antari, there are many options to choose from if you want to incorporate bubbles to your simple get together, corporate and community events and even concerts.

When shopping for bubble machines, decide the type of machine you need. Take note if you need a bubble machine only or those that also have other features like rotating lights and images that add more color and pizzazz to an event. Keep in mind too, on where or when you are going to use it. With small get-together, a personal use bubble machine is good enough. On the other hand, you might be needing commercial bubble machines for big gatherings.

And if I may add, for those that YOU LOVE.

Most often, a wedding band is the only jewelry that a man owns and wears for the longest time. Thus, it is important to choose a wedding ring for him that is comfortable and fits his taste, style and lifestyle. Fortunately, there are lots of metals and styles to choose from so decide wisely. Here are some tips for a successful mens wedding bands shopping:

Allot a considerable budget. Thinner bands with less gemstones or engraving are less pricier. Moreover, metals like silver, tungsten and low-carat gold are more affordable compared to titanium or platinum.

Consider the groom’s lifestyle and personal taste. Since a wedding band is worn daily, at work or play, it must be durable suited to a man’s work and hobby. Choose a design, metal and finish that is not prone to scratches and dents.  Moreover, consider the taste of the groom when it comes to color, thickness of the band and design. For some, a thick band without decorative edges will do. For others, there are thin bands with gemstones. Also consider the sensitivity of the groom’s skin as there are metals to which he might be allergic to.

Try on the ring before the wedding day. If it does not fit or if adjustments are needed to be done, an ample time is given to address the problems prior to the important event.
