Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

Online greetings have been so common and popular these days that it’s now a big surprise when I received a greeting card in the mail. Whenever I travel, I still like to send a postcard to family and friends, especially it’s going to be a long trip.

With email technology, social networking and online chats, people don’t write letters that much and sometimes, I miss the essence of this sort of traditional communication. Just how many holiday cards did you receive last year? Well, I still get one or two but it’s not like before, where I got alot of mails during the festive seasons.

If you are comfortable with online greetings, go on with it. But if you haven’t send a friend a postal mail, maybe it’s time to send him or her a surprise.

With pace like lightning, technology and communication is constantly evolving and changing. Gone are the days of snail mail to a friend who lives overseas, though I truly treasure those moments.

It is common to carry a mobile or cell phone wherever you are. It’s about convenience and in some ways, lifestyle. No longer is a phone a necessity, it’s a fashion statement or a reflection of an identity. Whether you are into PDAs or any other digital gadgets, our lives revolve around technology and communication is getting more sophisticated each day.

I was puzzled when my six year old asked me the other day if he could have a cell phone some day. I looked at him with a smile and said, ‘you sure can…. someday’.

Sometimes we get so oversold by all the advertising hype on the best and latest but it is always to double check the claims instead of believing blindly.

With online technology, it’s easy to purchase anything online but it’s also easy to waste your hardearned money if you aren’t careful with your spending. I’m quite a sucker for beauty and luxury products but thanks to review sites, I’ve been able to make good decisions. Over the years, I did make mistakes in online purchases but I’ve learned now not to buy out of impulse. Comparing prices across similar websites and asking questions are ways to help avoid any mistakes. So whether you are shopping for quicktrim products or any others to lose those extras, read reviews to learn more of the products.

By doing a bit of homework, you find yourself learning more about what you are buying and making better decisions for yourself in the long run.

After a long consideration, I have decided to go for lasik eye surgery next month. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 10 years old and I just think that it’s about time to lay off my glasses.

I used to think that the indie look doesn’t go too well with glasses but with today’s trend in glasses, this is not true anymore. Whenever I visit my optician, she’s always showing me the new designs and some of them are just tad too cool! The store even set up a facebook fan page for their clients so that they can update them on new styles in the store. You can’t afford not to move along with technology if you want to succeed in business today. You can even buy diet pills online these days – how convenient is that!

Tomorrow, I’ll be off to the lasik eye centre to check if I’m suitable for lasik treatment. It won’t be long that I can say goodbye to those cool glasses. Then, I’ll be shopping for sunglasses next!

Recently, we launched a promotional campaign for our seminar and the lucky person walks away with the new revolutionary iPad. Actually I am not so passionate about getting the iPad until I watch the video in the website.

With almost 5 million sold worldwide and this number is still growing, this new ‘toy’ is one cool thing. Being an Apple user myself, I am now keen to own one and it’s hard to justify why I really need it. Since I read news in my iPhone, my argument is that it’s easier to read with a bigger screen. Hubby isn’t an iPhone user so he thinks I’m crapping. When we were in the smoke shop with some friends, I tried showing him someone who was using the iPad and he wasn’t even impressed!

Anyways, I just saw in Apple website that you can get the iTouch for free if you purchase a Mac – that’s a good deal I thought. So if you are thinking of moving on to the Mac platform, don’t miss this attractive and exciting giveaway!

Being slim and slender is the dream of many young women but some aren’t ready to pay the price at all.

Talk about exercise and you can hear lots of excuses. Yet, when you mention about a short cut to achieve that goal, they will be all ears. Just do a search in the internet for weight loss and you can find all kinds of resources and options, from hoodia to irvingia gabonensis. With a little cost and time, you can achieve the weight you desire is the promise. But I think nothing works better than a proper diet and ample exercise.

I agree that it’s hard to exercise regular when you have a busy schedule. But that is the only way to gain nice muscles and a slender body. Like they say, no pain and you will have no gain. The saying is true and sometimes you just have to accept it and work to reach that goal.

I woke up this morning with what seems like a bad hair day. My skin was looking tired and I just couldn’t get my hair to settle the way I like it to be.

No woman likes to wake up with bad skin or a pimple popping on the face. We wish those creams we applied the night before can work a wonder and make us look a year younger. I suppose that’s why anti aging products are so hot these days. Everyone likes to look younger! Who likes to have dark circles or those panda eyes in the morning. For that reason, more and more cosmetic brands are launching new products to entice women who are after good looks and beautiful skin. As they say, the eyes is the window to the soul. So to look young, you would better do something to protect your eyes!

So for a simple homemade remedy to keep your eyes looking healthy, soak teabags overnight and put them over your eye area for 10 minutes. Not only will you get a calmer eye area after that, you would probably look fresher and more alert!

Since becoming a parent six years ago, I have begun to pay closer attention to kids’ clothing. It surprises me that clothing for kiddies are trendier and more fashionable than those for the grown-ups!

Last week, I placed an order for a few pieces of kids apparel from one of my favourite kids’ store – Dpam.com – they have some of the coolest and most hip clothing for little ones. I couldn’t helped but ended up with more than 100 euros worth of kids apparel cos the online store was offering free shipping during this sale period. What was even better was the prompt delivery and within five days, I had already received the order. How efficient is that!

The online store is having a one-day free shipping today and there are hundreds, if not thousands of items on sale. Now that I had done my shopping, it’s time to check out acne treatments that work on behalf of a friend. I guess I can never get enough of web information with today’s fast internet connectivity.

I’ve been asked to read up some articles on being a minimalist and it seems to fit into the indie lifestyle.

Since I got my iPhone, it has been a great companion and it helps to connect me to my family and friends, near and far. It’s hard to come across someone who doesn’t have a mobile phone these days. Even grandmas and grandpas have cell phones that help them connect with their children and grand kids. It’s amazing how technology is changing the way we live our lives. During a family gathering some months, I caught up with my nieces and nephews and they were updating me with all kinds of iphone accessories. It seems that the younger generation are more well informed and they are so well versed with technology revolution.

With this change and emergence of a new future, I am curious to see how the indie lifestyle can blend well with the new culture.
