Accessorize!

Published by B under Sari-sari

I’ve always been fascinated with jewelry. I just the different and unique designs that’s available nowadays. One form of jewelry that I recently found out about are cufflinks. Cufflinks are jewelry that close the buttonholes of the cuff of a long-sleeved shirt. They are originally designed for men but are now also worn by ladies. I was amazed by the range of designs that are available, there’s really something for everyone. And since I’m a freelance artist and don’t usual wear business attire or formal wears, I’m thinking of buying some for collection. I mean, just look at these designs

Aren’t they fun? So what are you waiting for, accessorize and make your usual formal or business wear simply stunning!

I just like to smile. Smiling’s my favorite!
Buddy, “Elf” the movie

I love this photo of my nephew. I just love that grin! He looks like he’s being tickled or like he trying to keep a secret and he’s grinning about it! LOL! And I really love his dimples and chubby cheeks! Makes me want to squeeze his face!

Do-It-Yourself Lightbox

Published by B under Sari-sari

I’ve always wanted a lightbox but I thought that I might not really need it and just put my money to waste. But not anymore, I’ve found tons of tutorials on how to create your own lightbox. A lightbox, also called a light tent, is something you can use to distribute light when photographing a small object. There are lightboxes available at photography stores but it really is a very basic concept that you can create yourself one yourself at home. Here are a few DIY lightboxes with very simple instructions that I found on the net…

Planning a trip to Europe? Then head on to Spain.

Spain is a very beautiful country and it is generally cheaper to travel there than in most of Western Europe and Cities like Barcelona and Madrid are unforgettable. Both cities are full of sites and attractions like museums, incredible architectures, beautiful landscapes, and a really great nightlife. There are also numerous hotels in Barcelona (Hoteles en Barcelona) and hotels in Madrid (Hotels en Madrid) where you can check-in during your stay. And they have different price ranges that you’re sure to find something that’ll fit your budget. You can out CheaperThanHotels.co.uk for their list of hotels in Barcelona and Madrid. When traveling between Barcelona and Madrid, it is more practical to take a plane than a train, plus you will save a lot of time. Most flights are only a little over an hour while traveling by train takes about 5 and a half hours to nine hours, which is much longer than traveling by plane. Plus there are numerous stories of people having their stuff stolen and trains are always packed especially during peak season.

Some interesting sites to visit in Barcelona are the fountains of Montjuïc, Olympic Barcelona, El Poble Espanyol (Spanish Town), Parc de la Ciutadella, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the streets and squares of Barcelona, the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, L’Auditori de Barcelona, Barcelona Cathedral, Santa Maria del Mar, and La Mercè Basilica.
