Finally, a clothing line for the large busted woman

by

Judging from the responses that I get on this blog I must assume that a large number of my readers are women. Certainly the more vocal readers are women at the very least. So that’s why I decided to tell you about Eris Apparel and their new line of clothing.

Their new garment sizes are made specifically for the large busted woman. Fortunately or unfortunately this is not a problem that I have – mine is more the long leg, high-waisted, poor fitting garment problem.

I do however understand that large busted women may have a very difficult time finding blouses and jackets that fit properly. The shirts may fit in the arm, and shoulders and the overall size might be correct but the top is often too tight in the bust. Well, now you don’t have to worry about that. Not if you purchase some of the beautiful lines of clothing being introduced by Eris Apparel you won’t. They’ve designed clothing that will fit an average sized woman who just happens to also be large busted. Women with cup sizes of D to G will find this new line of clothing particularly helpful.

Visit the Eris Apparel website to see their whole line of clothing ranging from Blouses, bras, dresses and outwear plus many more items. I think you’ll be pleased with the quality and style of their selection.






It’s snowing

It’s been snowing here on and off since Friday. Here’s a glimpse of what it looked like Friday evening:

January Snowstorm Toronto

When it gets this way outside, I remember some of the beautiful scenes of summer, like this:

I love this Dahlia photo. You know, I have these planted in my front boulevard and I didn’t take them out of the ground last fall.

Oh oh … they probably won’t make it. Oh that’s so sad. Well I have had Dahlias come up again in the past. It’s a risk. We’re Canadian zone 6b here, but USDA zone 5b. Dahlias are zone 6 or 7 I believe, but then we’ve had a mild winter up until the past two weeks so they might make it. I hope they will. I want to see these beauties again.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

Make money with Loudlaunch

by

Did you know that there’s yet another way to make some money while you blog? That’s right. A new company called Loudlaunch recently opened up and the site allows bloggers to be paid for blogging about advertising campaigns that posted by advertising members of the Loudlaunch site.

Loudlaunch is a benefit to bloggers in that they can write about products or sites that fit well with their own blog, or about sites and products that they are interested in that they believe their readers would enjoy hearing about; and advertisers have a great way of getting word out about their new site, or about specific products on their site. Advertisers can create an advertising campaign for as little as $50. The bloggers make money by writing about the advertisers promotions and the advertisers get more visitors to their sites and perhaps some new sales as a result. Everybody wins.

When a blogger signs up with Loudlaunch and puts their site up for review they can select which categories their site best falls into. A formal review of the site is done by a Loudlaunch team member and they might make slight adjustments to the blogs listing. Advertisers can select which type of blogs can write about their campaign via the various categories that the blogs end up being listed under.

The amount that a blogger is paid for each campaign that they post is determined by their blogs rating. Such factors as a blogs standings via Alexa, Technorati, page rank and possibly a few other factors come into play as to what the blogger will be paid. Bloggers will be compensated anywhere from $5 per posting up to over $200 for very high ranking blogs.

One thing that I like about Loudlaunch is that at the bottom of each post a disclosure will show that declares that the post is sponsored. I also like that advertisers can’t require a positive spin or tone to their campaigns. Bloggers can write what they feel, however if they feel negatively towards whatever an advertiser is promoting I don’t really see much reason to promote the product. So I’m assuming that most reviews will be neutral to positive depending upon the bloggers point of view.
