Do you get a kick out of reading your horoscope?

by

Almost everyone has read their horoscope at one time or another. Some people read theirs every day. If you want to get a kick out your horoscope you should visit the Guru Monkey and read their version of your weekly horoscope. I’m pretty sure that you’ll at least get a laugh.

They don’t claim to offer correct horoscopes. In fact they say that their weekly horoscope might only be accurate for one person in the world. The intro to the site says they have a gifted staff of psychic astrologers dedicated to bring you as close to possible of taking the guess work out of life. I’m sure that’s all tongue in cheek.

I’m a Virgo and my weekly horoscope tells me that I should go out and buy some shoes because I need shoes. However I’m supposed to ignore the first pair that interest me for some reason. Well I already went on a shopping spree this week (see my main blog) but I didn’t even look at shoes. Maybe I did ignore a pair? The horoscope also informs me that I should go back to school. Now that is something I’ve been toying with. Hmmm maybe they do have psychic astrologers.

Have you checked your weekly horoscope on the Guru Monkey Yet? Let me know how accurate they are eh?






I love browsing through Interior Design sites

by

As you might already know from reading this blog and some of my other sites I’m very interested in renovation, DIY projects and Interior Design. In order to get ideas for my own projects I watch some of the TLC shows about renovation and design, and I often find myself browsing through Interior Design websites.

One of the sites that I’ve just been visiting is called Long Beach CA Interior Design. Obviously they specialize in work in California. That’s pretty far away from me so all I can do is browse.

I really like the kitchen and bathroom designs that I found in the sites Interior Design past projects section. They did this kitchen and bathroom in a Spanish Hacienda style home. The exterior has a real Spanish feel to it, but the inside is very modern and definitely influenced by North American trends.

Are you like me? Do you enjoy looking at the way interior designers design the look of a room or home? If you do, do you get ideas from the designs that you see that you can use in your own home?

Gift baskets Plus for all your gift giving needs

Did you realize that Mothers day is this coming Sunday? My how time flies! Not only that, but today is my father in law, and my brother in laws birthday. Yep they were both born on the same day, and in my brother in laws case I believe it was on Mothers day. I guess a baby’s a good present for Mothers day huh?

If you’re looking for a more practical gift that a mother won’t have to care for, for the rest of her life, you might want to give her one of Gift Baskets Plus’ personalized gift baskets. They have a large selection of personalized gift products, and personalized gift baskets for all occasions.

Visiting the site you’ll see that not only do they carry lovely gift baskets for all occasions, but they also sell holiday and seasonal items, personalized gifts, furniture, and they also have sections where they suggest gift ideas, as well as display their premium packages and popular gift items.

In the furniture section I found a Children’s rocking chair that’s lovely on it’s own, but that could be personalized with custom art. They also have a really cute and practical fire truck step stool and a dinosaur rocking horse among many other items in the children’s Furniture section.

In the personalized gifts section you’ll find personalized baseball coat racks, bookends, and a children’s toy chest. Premium packages include Gift Baskets Plus signature line products such as high quality chocolates, candies and baked goods. There are several premium packages to choose from and I think they’d make fantastic Mother’s Day gifts.

If you’re looking for gift ideas for adults or children Gift Baskets Plus is a good place to start.
