Diamonds and Gemstone rings for your right hand too!

September 15, 2007 by Tricia

Engaged? Married? I bet you have a beautiful ring, don’t you? What about your other hand? Do you wear rings on both hands or do you mostly only wear your friendship, engagement or wedding rings on your left and leave the right unadorned?

As a former jeweller I’d run across people that didn’t believe that they could wear diamonds or fancy gemstones on their right hand. Especially if they weren’t engaged or married. It was as if they feared that if they bought a diamond ring they’d have to wear it on their left ring finger and they couldn’t do that as men would think they were engaged and they’d lose their chance of meeting Mr. Right. I’d explain to them that there were no rules against wearing a ring on their right hand.

Abazias Diamonds has a beautiful assortment of right-hand rings. Their selection includes delicate diamond rings, such as the one to the right, and rings with sapphires, emeralds, amethyst, garnet, rubies or a mix of diamond and gemstone in styles from delicate to bold.

For most designs you can choose between yellow or white gold. You can also choose from pave diamond settings, bezel set stones and more depending upon the style of ring that catches your eye.

I’ve always been partial to sapphire rings myself, probably because the sapphire is my birthstone. I’d be happy to wear a sapphire ring such as the one I’ve included to the left on my right hand. It’s beautiful isn’t it?

Isn’t it time you dressed up your bare right ring finger?

It’s cold tonight! Brrrrr

September 12, 2007 by Tricia

This is the coldest night in months! Last week we had a heat wave and temperatures were getting into the 40 Celsius (104 F) range with the humidity and now it’s gotten very cool outside.

Actually the last couple of days have been pleasant with temperatures in the low 20’s (68 F to 75 F), but yesterday evening exactly at the same time my husband got home from work a huge storm came up and it cooled everything off dramatically. I mean trees blown over and all!

During and after the storm the temperature dropped. By 11 pm it was only 12 Celsius (53 F) and now, at 3:30 am it’s 11 Celsius (52 F). That’s cold! It’s making me think of winter and it’s far too early to think of winter! It has reminded me that I need a new winter coat though. Perhaps I’ll get a nice warm North Face jacket? One that can stand up to our cold Canadian winters and strong icy cold winds.

It looks like it will be cool most nights over the next week. I think I might have to think about bringing some of the tropical plants that I’ve placed in my garden into the enclosed back porch at night too.

Ahhh I hate the thought of cool weather coming. I haven’t had enough summer yet. It can’t be almost over … can it?

A new partnership

August 30, 2007 by Tricia

If you read my other blogs you might have noticed that my blogs As the Garden grows and Tricia’s Musings are part of the Glam Network. I was invited into the network and accepted into their special advertising partner network.

One benefit of the Glam Network, other than my sites being listed on their sites, getting some extra traffic and occasionally having posts featured is that my contact there occasionally writes to members of the network with special offers. Sometimes it’s advanced news about movies or new products, big events that sometimes include celebrities or even other advertising opportunities.

A couple of months ago my contact wrote to me to tell me about a company that was looking for advertising partners. I responded and within the next few days I’ll enter into a special advertising partnership with this company.

Naturally this partnership is yet another way for me to earn a little bit of money. Hopefully it works better than some of the other things I’ve tried. I think it will since it’s a special partnership.

I don’t want to say which company it is just yet. You’ll know when it happens though. This company has some great items for the home, garden as well as clothing and fashion accessories. I do hope that you like the products as I’ll occasionally discuss items that interest me on this site and some of my other blogs.

Wish me luck?

Thousands of coupons to be found at the Deal Locker

August 11, 2007 by Tricia

If you’re on a tight budget I’m sure you have a keen eye for great deals. Even if you aren’t on a budget there’s nothing more satisfying than knowing you saved some money when you’ve made a purchase. Am I right?

If I am then you’re going to love the Deal Locker. This is a site where you can find coupon codes for tens of thousands of items. There’s also listings for savings at thousands of well known stores.

Considering that there are so many free online coupons and printable coupons listed at the Deal Locker it would be a shame not to visit the site before you begin shopping. Wouldn’t it be disappointing to find out after you’ve spent your money that you could have saved an extra 15%?

When you visit the Deal Locker site you can type in the name of the item or store that you’re looking for, or you can use the tabs across the top to search by store or category. It can take as little as a few seconds to find a great deal and begin saving money.

One thing that I really like about the Deal Locker is that it’s interactive. If you sign up for a free account you can add coupon codes that you’ve found on the internet and you can also rate coupons that you use on the site as to whether they worked properly or not. It’s certainly nice to search through the site and know that the majority of the coupons on the site have been rated by fellow users and that they are most often marked as having worked well.

As you probably already know Chris and I have been busy renovating our house. Soon … I hope … we’ll be thinking about purchasing new furniture and other home decor type of items to add that extra touch to our newly renovated rooms. So I decided to take a look at Deal Locker to see if I could find any Home Decor coupons or even some home improvement coupons and I found several coupons that I can use now or in the near future when the renovations are finished.

I was able to find Ace Hardware coupons and coupon codes for other well known hardware or handyman type home improvement stores, and home decor stores.

All in all I was quite pleased by how easy it was to find some coupons that I could use. I’m in Canada and yes there are listings for Canadian stores, US stores, as well as stores in the UK, Germany and even Australia.

Visit the Deal Locker. I’m sure you’ll be pleased by what you find. I know I was! I’ve bookmarked the site already.

Interesting name for a bra

June 27, 2007 by Tricia

Oh my gosh … I was just on a website looking at bras, ’cause you know, women can never have too many nice bras, and I found a page for something called open tip bras. Do you know what an open tip bra is? If you don’t go look, I’ll wait for you to come back.

Of course I’ve encountered that type of bra before … might even have purchased one … but I never knew that that was what they were called.

The name sure does make sense, but I don’t think I ever would have thought to call that type of bra an open tip if I were looking for one to purchase.

** If you didn’t go take a look you probably still have no idea what I’m talking about, take a guess in the comment section if you didn’t look. **
