It's Snowing in Bavaria

Perfect timing! My car  has its  winter tires on now! This is one a must-to-do before snow comes. This morning when I woke-up and looked at the window, the surroundings are already white.  Snow is already here! It was a combination of snow and rain and really good for driving.

I should go for grocery shopping today but cancelled it  due to the bad weather. I  might go tomorrow. If it is not really very important, I always avoid driving and going elsewhere. Continuous snowing is not really good. Good things is, the roads and highways in Germany are being cleaned from time to time by government workers who are assigned in road repair and maintenance.

I guess this is the time to hibernate...Oh well, I still have a lot of things to do offline. I hope I can finish most of it tomorrow.  Besides, I need to put my Christmas decors on.

Snow in Bavaria, Germany.

Finally Had My Winter Tires On

I have been hearing weather updates in Bavaria, Germany the past days. It says that it will be snowing starting tomorrow. I am not quite sure if this will  affect our area as well. The weather is really getting colder and colder everyday. This is the  sign that winter is almost coming. This is also the reason why we already changed the summer  tires of my car to winter ones.

One good thing, we always save money when changing tires from summer to winter or vice versa. Hubby's brother in law owns a car repair shop and they have all the equipments with regards to repairing cars including coats machine. I already saw how this machine works everytime we changed the tires of our cars. One good thing, hubby can always use his brother in law's equipments for free, thus saving us some bucks every year.

I am ready for the winter season now including my car. I am always careful when driving especially during snow time and I always pray for safe driving. I hope you too!

How to Warm Up a Home

Now that we are in the midst of winter time, it is necessary that we figure out a few ways to keep our homes warm and stay that way in order to save a few dollars in electric or heating bills. There are many ways to do it but in my opinion the cheapest way to do it is by using the proper curtains or drapes that are meant to be used on colder days. From thicker materials such as polyester to silk, there are heavier fabrics that provide energy saving warmth while looking great!

Huge selections of curtains or drapes and other window treatments in which you can find the thermal curtains as well to use to warm up your home and save a little money on your monthly electric or heating bills. Thermal curtains are not only to be used as an energy-saver during winter time but can also be used anytime to reduce noise and light that are coming in from outside. Not only does Marburn offer window treatments but other household accessories like table coverings, rugs, runners, bedding, bathroom accessories and so much more. 

It's a great time to check out online sales with so many companies offering free shipping - that means no waiting in line or worrying about sell outs. If you are looking for a cheap alternative to warm up your home, try thermal curtains and drapes first. This is one of the best and cheapest way of saving and going green without doing major renovations - which could take weeks or months (and thousands of dollars!)

Bathroom Renovation is Over

Building a house or renovating a bathroom can sometimes very stressful. This is especially true if you don't have the right budget for it.

Before we started the renovation of our bathroom, we made it sure that we have the finances to do it. If not, we will for sure have some headache especially in buying all the materials we needed.

Before we renovated our bathroom, we already ordered a bathroom set and started looking for other bathroom accessories. Now the searching and the renovating is finally over.  Our bathroom is finally done!

Toilet seats are included in the  bathroom accessories we bought for our newly renovated bathroom.

Another Travel Gadget

If you are a traveller, you surely have a lot of gadgets when you travel. I surely do!  Yesterday, I went to the nearby town to  buy  a flashlight and  rechargeable batteries. I was looking for maha powerex brand but I cannot find one in the store. I should search and buy  it online but I have no more time because I will be travelling again  this weekend.  A flashlight and some batteries are only some of the travel gadgets and accessories I bring with me when I travel. I also use rechargeable batteries for my cameras.

I guess, it is time to finish packing up my luggage again. See you soon Basel and Strasbourg!

Thanksgiving 2012

 Thanksgiving  celebration is over  for our American friends. Do you only express thanksgiving during  this day or everyday  of your life?  If you have to ask me, I am always trying my best to give thanks  everyday for  many things and happenings that comes my way.

Thanksgiving is one of the biggest celebrations and holidays for  our American  friends.  It has been  an annual tradition since  1863. President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens", to be celebrated on Thursday. Now it is celebrated every fourth Thursday of the months of November.

I had a wonderful time celebrating  Thanksgiving day with friends yesterday. At lunch time, one of my friends invited me to go with them in the US  Base near our area.  In their Dining Facility or DiFac, a lot of foods were served to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.

I also attended two parties of my friends last night. I am grateful for meeting wonderful people around. Thank you for your friendship and for letting me partake in your Thanksgiving banquet.

The Musical Fountain of Bellagio

The Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Are you visiting Las Vegas? If you do, don't miss the famous free show in front of Bellagio. The so-called Fountains of Bellagio is a choreographed water feature with performances set to light and music.

I always love watching this spectacular show when I visit Las Vegas. I am always amazed everytime I watch it.

There are a lot of shows and entertainments to see and enjoy in this city. You also witness live performers on the street. If you cross this bridge between Caesars Palace and Bellagio, you can see a lot of singers performing live on their own. I guess some got their relic guitars at Musicians friend. I give some tips sometimes especially when I see that the singer performing has really great voice.

Visiting Las Vegas is truly an enjoyable one considering all the entertainments you can experience there. I believed I am one of the lucky ones who was able to visit the "World's Gaming and Entertainment Capital." Not only once but for the second time already. I love Las Vegas!
