excited for BC Bloggers

I was excited when I saw that BC Bloggers is back. Honestly, when I first started with blogging, I have been searching all over on how to join this group, it is because I was so intrigued with this badge that I see on different blogs that I visit. Unfortunately I cannot find any clue. The last one I came closest to was a link way back in July a time when I was still just starting out with 'formal' blogging. But then it said that the group was already closed. So since then, I have always been on the look out for the next batch of BC Bloggers.

Well, then it came, I stumbled upon it. I admit, that as a 'newbie' in blogging, I would like to link my blog with other cool and awesome blogs and I think that being part of BC Bloggers will definitely help me do it aside from the fact that I started joining blogging memes which I am starting to love.

With BC Blogger's motto "We don't have to beg for links", it is because it provides a three way link exchange and not a simple ex-linking with other blogs.

Now BC Bloggers has opened it door again till October15, enough time for you to join. Now for more details you can check out MOMMY DIARY or click the BC Bloggers badge above.

I guess we'll be linking up with eachother?

in memory...

romance still alive (RMH#9)

flowers from Flowers Express thru LBC

This is first thing that came into mind when I decided to join RED HOT MONDAY. It is a dozen red roses from Island Roses and delivered by LBC. (LBC has a tie up with Island Rose that if you order flowers from LBC, Island Rose will provide it).

It was sent my husband regularly during special occasions like my birthday, Our Anniversary and especially during Valentine's Day. You see my husband is in the US and it has been that way since we met over 9 years ago. I guess this is one reason why despite the distance we have kept the  romance and love burning.(view my album L-O-V-E from Facebook fore more of the roses). It is really a concerted effort from both of us to maintain a not-so-easy to maintain long distance relationship. 

Nine years after and a 9-month old daughter, we're still together full of love, hopes and dreams. And I hope that our long time dream of finally being together will be happening very soon (cross fingers!). Some say that long distance relationships do not work, well for us it did. Because of that, I am happy.

Thank you, Skin Cravings!

Last September Skin Cravings  launched an online contest in their Facebook Page entitled " Fan of the Hour", wherein they posted 3 (random) questions within the day and you need to post your answer as comments on their wall. At the end of the day Skin Cravings will post 3 winners based on the creativity of the answers on the questions they posted. This promo lasted until the 30th of September.

I joined on the first day unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough. However on their second day (September 2), I joined again. It seems that the questions for that day were all meant for me because the answers I gave were actually based from my own experiences.

Here, let me share with you my answers :

Question #1 :  What is the most unforgettable surprise you got from your partner?

Question # 2 : If you have only one thing among these three- laptop, iPad or a cellphone which would you choose? Why?

Here's my answer : (and I think this is a so-so answer...lol) 

cellphone,basically for communication, even if I cannot see my loved ones thru the internet at least if there's a cellphone we can still keep the communication.

Question # 3 What's the craziest thing you ever did for love?

Well there goes my love story, haha and when the winner was announced I knew I won because I am so confident with my answers, well at least for Q1 and Q3: 

And because of this, about 2weeks ago, I received from a Unilab courier the following :

the goodies came in this paper bag

this is what's inside (too much lighting in this pic)

from L-R : Cranberry Yoghurt Body Scrub, Strawberry Cream Lotion,  Dewberry Yoghurt Body Scrub,
Choc'Mint Kisses Body Lotion, Strawberry Cream BodyScrub

someone's trying to get one these yummy treats, lol

The packaging of these products is so unique that my nephew thought it was real food inside the bag. I love the scent of fresh fruits. "For skin so soft to be bitten, smells so sweet to be eaten!", this is Skin Cravings's tag line. Though I have not used these products yet and will definitely do a review once I did.

So once again, Thank you so much Skin Cravings for the prizes and for holding this promo, more to come in the future and MORE POWER! 

 

 

Why Sell Online?

Selling online has become so popular nowadays. If you will ask me why, I can name a few reasons why...

My fascination for online selling emerged from my fondness of buying stuff online. With the many infinite choices and convenience of shopping at the comforts of your own home, I can't help but feel the excitement whenever I will received my online order. But mind you, I can say that I am a sensible buyer since I buy only the things I need. About 3 years ago, I got hooked on online buying, it ranged from clothes, accessories, bags,etc. In fact the couple shirt my husband and I used for our pre-wedding pictorial and even our wedding giveaway were online finds. With this fondness, a question came in mind "Why not try to sell online? Then came the idea of an online shop, but the next question is what to sell online? One tip is finding your audience's    niche, asking yourself what do you like best and what do you like to buy most of the time will determine what type of merchandise you will sell. It actually varies and may change from time to time, as for my case I am interested in baby stuff now as compared to clothes and accessories before.

The popularity of E-commerce business intensifies many great opportunities for a newbie in online trading. Take into consideration, a seller having the world wide web for his market, it provides a vast number of advantages most specially for a budding entrepreneur. It becomes easy for an aspiring seller to get his idea on what to sell online and target his market thru the trend that he sees online, which will then make it easier for him to penetrate that market. As compared to actual retail it will take a shorter time for a seller to market his products because of the exposure to global market thus, a faster return on his investment. With internet communication, it also provides better customer relationships. E-commerce does not end with selling, aside from direct sales, online retailers can also use the web to introduce new products and brands and offer after sales customer support.

Among the many reasons to sell online, just imagine having your shop accessible anytime,anywhere 24/7. For the benefit of online buyers, they will not need to wait for long queues just like in malls, they have the convenience of getting the best deals and the most competitive prices online. It is cost efficient saving on gas because you don't need to go the mall just to do shopping and time efficient as well since all is done is just a few clicks. Plus it is easier to recommend an item to friends since it is readily available to view.

There are a number of sites to help you out get started to sell online. All you have to do is maximize every potential resources and and use it to your own advantage and believe me there are endless possibilities for you to succeed.

I am participating in a blog campaign for Bucks2Blog for an e-commerce solution company, www.intuit.com and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.
