I didn’t think looking for protein removal tablets for my contact lenses would be so hard. I called up my usual optical store to ask if they have my brand in stock.
I did this because the last time I was there to buy my contact lens solution, they were out of stock. So I thought [...]

A friend is moving office and apparently his management has decided to furnish the new office building entirely from scratch. Yes, everything will be brand new. Nothing will be brought over from the old office.
A big extravagant in these hard-pressed economic times, I know. So yes, I am more than a bit surprised. But I’m [...]

I confess, I can’t sew for peanuts. So when it came to doing up the curtains and drapes for my new home a few years ago, I had to pay through my nose to get someone to do it for me.
I can be very picky too when I don’t get exactly what I ordered. So [...]

It’s quite common for parents with young kids to buy homes near the playground or one where a play area is easily within reach.
It’s such a convenience not having to drive for miles in search of a child-safe area with climbing structures, swing sets and a place for moms to hang out.

I was kinda surprised they even allow you to try wine [...]

I frequently drive through an affluent neighborhood on my way to do my errands.
Just looking at how many houses have those exterior shutters seems to confirm that old is gold.
Don’t you just love the rustic look and feel of these shutters? Well, I do, a lot.
And I’m seeing a lot of the old colonial shophouses [...]

One of the things I’ve learnt about outfitting your home is that you want to consider quality over price.
Your best bet is to pay a little more upfront for good quality bathroom faucets rather than to have to go maintaining them every few years.
Do you know how much of a hassle it can be to [...]

So let’s just saying you’re going to be remodeling, right? I’d say do everything at one go.
I have a friend who likes to remodel in bits and pieces. I don’t quite understand the rationale behind that except maybe to spread the cost over a period of time.
But just think of the hassle, I mean, the [...]
