Spice things up with items from Candies Playhouse

July 1, 2007 by Tricia

I’ve been asked to discuss the online store – CandiesPlayhouse.com. If you enjoy shopping for and wearing Lingerie you’ll probably want to visit Candies Playhouse.

I think almost all women have purchased lingerie at one time or another. What kind of lingerie woman are you?

Are you the kind who wears lingerie under your work clothes just because it makes you feel sexy. A little secret that no one, but you will know about while you goes about your job.

Or are you the kind of woman that buys lingerie because you feel most comfortable in lingerie when you sleep?

Perhaps you’ve purchased lingerie for a special evening with your lover? Special occasions could range from your honeymoon to a regular date night or anything in between.

There are as many reasons why women wear lingerie as there are styles.

Speaking of styles Candies Playhouse offers a wide selection of lingerie for men and women. You’ll find Lingerie of all styles – demure to dominatrix, in sizes from Misses to Plus size, made of materials such as Lycra, lace, satin, vinyl and leather.

When you visit the site you’ll find an easy to use menu on the left side of each page. You’ll be able to select from categories such as Leather Lingerie, vinyl wear, hosiery, Misses and plus size costumes, costume accessories, Mens sexy wear, fashion jewelry, garters and gloves, latex wear, sassy tops, Rhinestone bra and panty sets, XOXO collection and the Bath & Massage section.

As you can see from the selection of categories you could purchase Sexy Lingerie for yourself and your man as well as any accessories such as jewelry, hosiery or massage oils to make for an exciting evening for the two of you to enjoy.

I’ve always been partial to baby doll lingerie. It’s a sexy style and it’s comfortable to sleep in too. Candies Playhouse has 6 pages of Baby dolls and Chemises to browse through!

The Bath & Massage section has bath oils with names such as Kama Sutra Oils of Love and Kama Sutra bath gel. You’ll also find the Lovers paint box and Kama Sutra Oils Of Love in Chocolate Mint flavor too. There’s a couple of pages of items to chose from in this section and I’m sure that picking one or two of these delicious sounding products would make for a very interesting evening.

If you visit the main page of the site you’ll find a banner that states “Everything is on sale!”. Use the coupon code listed on the banner and you’ll get an extra 15% off your purchase.

Not only can you get an extra 15% off the price of your purchase, but if the total is $75 or more you’ll also receive free standard shipping. That sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

Corporate casual wear – have your logo placed on garments

June 21, 2007 by Tricia

I was just visiting a site called Corporate Casuals and I think they’ve come up with a fantastic idea. Companies can have custom embroidered shirts and apparel made to order.

They can use this apparel either as part of a uniform that their employees would wear or as items to sell in the gift shop to their customers.

Just think. Perhaps you own a business where the employees can dress casually but you’d like them all to have a similar dress code? Get custom t-shirts made with your company logo embroidered on to the shirt.

If you have a popular business – a fun restaurant or trendy shop – you could get shirts, hats, active wear, outerwear, bags, items for kids and printed tees made up for your businesses gift shop.

There’s nothing better than having your employees or clients walking around wearing your companies logo. It’s free advertising.

The site is really easy to use. Upload your own design or logo, or browse through their catalog of embroidered designs and create your own on design on the spot. All you need to do after that is choose which types of garments that you’d like to order choosing quantity and sizes and then pay for your order.

It generally takes three to four days for your orders to be complete but they will be shipped out shortly after completion. You can order next day deliver but that would of course occur once the order was actually complete.

Visit Corporate Casuals if you are interested in having custom designed casual wear for your business or upcoming event.

What’s the Big Deal?

June 7, 2007 by Tricia

Remember a few weeks ago, ok, back in April, I was talking about a “big deal”? Well, if you happen to read my other sites you would have seen evidence of my new advertising deal on As the Garden Grows first.

This site, and As the Garden Grows have been accepted into the Glam Network. What does that mean?

Well, the two sites are listed as Glam Network blogs. I believe that Glam has only accepted about 300 blogs into their network at this time so I’m quite honored that not one, but two of my sites are listed there. The sites have been part of the Glam network for over a month now.

Millions of people visit the Glam network each month in order to get the latest news about fashion and beauty related trends and sales, take quizzes, read about celebrities, enter contests, and read about issues related to women that are written by women. Obviously this is a very female oriented network and it’s fast becoming the top womens network on the net. You can even join the site, create a profile and a blog if you choose, and interact with other Glam Network members. I’m listed as dragonden over there if you join.
Can you see why I thought it was a big deal that my sites are listed there?

Not only are my sites listed, but the rss feeds for my sites are also listed so if someone clicks on my listing on the Glam network they can read my latest posts, subscribe to my rss feed, and hopefully end up visiting the site to leave me a comment or at least view the rest of the site. I can also submit some of my articles each week and if chosen they’ll be promoted on the front page of glam for a week.

As part of my association with Glam, I’ve also been accepted into their advertising network. See the ads in the right sidebar? What do you think of them?

I think this site is read equally by men and women, whereas the ads that you’ll see in the right sidebar are geared more towards women than men, so I don’t expect that everyone will love them. However, as ads go, I think that these are of a very high quality.

Keep an eye on the ads because you’ll learn of new contests and promotions through them. I’ve noticed that sometimes that ads promote new movies coming out in theaters or ones coming out on DVD too. I’ve also found that some of the ads are interactive. There’s one for Scarlet Johansson’s active wear that lets you see the items of clothing better as you move your mouse over the ad.

What I hope to get out of being part of the Glam network is an increase in readership. That would be fantastic!

I do hope that some of you will explore the Glam Network as there are some great articles there, other great blogs and tons of tips and deals.

Now, if I could get accepted into blogads that would be cool too.

Lingerie parties and Lingerie sales

May 19, 2007 by Tricia

Oh oh! I got an email earlier from my niece and she’s having a lingerie party! She’s holding it at the end of May. That could be interesting!

Thinking about lingerie parties just reminded me that for a very short time I once sold lingerie! It was sometime just before I started working as a nurse. I might even have still been in school at the time. I attended a lingerie party that was being held at a friends and some how I ended up getting talked into selling the stuff myself!

It’s kind of like holding Avon or Tupperware parties. You have your samples and you get a friend to hold a party. You go ahead of time and set everything up. What a pain when you have at least two racks of clothing! Then once everyone arrives you do a little presentation and anyone interested checks out the clothing, tries it on and hopefully orders from you.

I did ok at this, but it was time consuming and I felt like I was using my friends. Plus, you may not realize this about me, but I’m actually kind of shy in public. Especially when I’m around a lot of people that I don’t really know. I don’t think I’m as shy now as I used to be … I mean I’m a nurse – I’ve got to speak to strangers and ask them all kinds of personal details about themselves, and I do my darnedest to get a laugh or smile out of people and you can’t be too shy to do that! However, put me in a restaurant by myself to eat a meal or up on stage to give a speech and it’s not pretty!

Anyway, I don’t know if my niece is selling the lingerie or if she’s just holding the party. I wonder if I’ll end up ordering anything interesting?

Underwear from Down Under

May 16, 2007 by Tricia

Yesterday Chris and I went on a big shopping spree, but perhaps we didn’t need to buy as much as we did in a department store. I was just looking at a site called DUGG – which is short for Down Under Guys Gear – and they sell all kinds of mens underwear, accessories and clothing.

I probably shouldn’t be saying this online, but that’s one thing we didn’t buy yesterday that we probably should have. I’m pretty sure that Chris could use some new underwear.

He hasn’t purchased underwear in years! By that I do not mean that he’s been wearing the same old briefs over and over again for years. No, I mean his mommy still gives him underwear as a gift. It’s one thing we can always count on – He gets underwear at Christmas and birthdays and sometimes just for the heck of it. Me – I always seem to get scented candles – go figure.

Visit the site to see all the different styles of underwear that you can buy. You can find everything from Briefs, trunks, hipsters, g-strings, jockstraps, tops and singlets, swimwear, sleepwear, socks and boxers. There are several well known name brands to choose from too – so if you have a favorite brand you’ll probably find it there.

The company is based in Australia, but you can tell immediately that they sell world wide. How do I know that? Well I’m in Canada and the site automatically knew where I was located so it showed me the prices in Canadian dollars. That’s a cool site feature. I also knew that they shipped worldwide because it actually says that at the bottom of every page I visited. DUGG offers free shipping on domestic orders over $50, and international orders over $80. If you become a member of the site and contact them before you make your second purchase you’ll get an ongoing 5% discount as well.

If you know a guy who needs some nice new underwear go and visit DUGG.
