Custom made down comforters and pillows

June 21, 2007 by Tricia

Is there anything more luxurious than lying in a bed that’s been made up with fresh sheets, and a beautiful warm comforter? Isn’t that a wonderful feeling? Especially if you’re lucky enough to have no reason to get out of that comfy bed?

Why on earth am I talking about warm beds and comforters when most of North America is warming up for summer? Well, don’t you know that this is the best time of year to purchase warm bedding? It’s on sale!

Visit the Plumeria Bay website and you’ll see that their featured comforters are on sale for 30% off right now.

Actually, you can use a comforter any time of year if you purchase the right type. Plumeria Bay makes comforters of different warmth levels. They have summer, autumn, winter and deep winter fills. Each of which will either keep you covered and cool in the summer or cozy and warm in the winter.

Plumeria Bay manufactures and sells Down Comforters, duvet covers, bed linens and Down Pillows. Their pillows and featherbeds are made at the time of your order.

The very best Egyptian cottons, Italian Linen and German silks are used to create their duvet covers and bed linens. These are truly luxurious quality products at Plumeria Bay.

Imagine. A company that makes your down comforter and bedding to order. I think that it’s amazing to be able to order a quality product such as this that’s made to order. Did I mention that they offer free shipping, and that they guarantee satisfaction?

Visit Plumeria Bay. You won’t be disappointed.

My interest in Interior design and the new Home and Garden website

June 11, 2007 by Tricia

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I’m seriously thinking of taking an interior design course. I know there’s some great Interior Design colleges here in the Toronto area but I keep being drawn to ones in the US, like Harrington College of Design. They have so many great courses. Courses that sound like I’d get a quality education and background in interior design if I went there.

I’ve always been interested in home decor, DIY projects and interior design. It all goes together for me. I’ve designed rooms for other people and myself going from tearing down walls, building shelves and other furnishings, using different techniques on the walls and then picking out what furnishings would work best in the newly designed room. I know this is something I could do … it’s just pushing myself to begin taking some courses.

Well, whether I ever do this professionally or not, my new domain that I purchased for my Home and Gardening site – As the Garden Grows, which will eventually move to homeandgardendiva.com will not just be about gardening. No it will reflect more of my passion for interior design and DIY projects. Just wait and see.

I’m really excited about the new site … now if I could turn that excitement into a learning experience at a school that specializes in design I’ll have it made.

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.

Enjoy a luxurious Bathing Experience?

May 31, 2007 by Tricia

Do you enjoy treating yourself to quality bath products? Do you enjoy pampering yourself by having a nice soak in the bath, and perhaps using bath salts for a soothing and relaxing bathing experience?

If you do, you might want to visit the San Francisco Bath Salts Company. They have a wide assortment of bath salts, dead sea salts, bath soaks, and several other bath, body and spa related products for sale at their online store.

Browsing through their bath salts section I’ve found a number of scented and unscented bath salt products. Many are formulated for specific purposes, for example their citrus bath soak has been created to refresh your body, relax your muscles and sooth your skin.

The regular prices for all of the products sold at the San Francisco Bath Salts Company’s online store are reasonable, and they do have some items on sale. If you enjoy pampering yourself, or perhaps need a great gift idea, visit the site and have a look around. I think you’ll be impressed with their line of products.

Don’t you hate stains on clothes and carpets?

November 23, 2006 by Tricia

Don’t you just hate it when someone spills red wine on your light coloured carpet? Or someone bumps into you and your wine or grape juice spills on your blouse. I get really frustrate when things spill on my clothes, furniture or carpets because I know how hard it is to remove the stains. Half the time I can’t remove it either and I’m left with a faded stain on the item that was damaged.

I just found a site that sells commercial grade stain remover. The site states “Our spot cleaners can tackle just about any job. Not only is carpet stain removal a breeze but our products will remove stains on couches, curtains, beds, you name it! Our commercial-grade stain removal products will do the job others can’t.” Ok that sounds good to me.

MetroGuardian sells a number of different products- some of which work on specific types of stains such as lipstick and ball point pen stains, or an item that removes scratch marks from hard wood floors. All of the items have fairly low prices so I’d say they’re certainly worth giving them a try. I even took a peek at their terms and conditions section and they will accept returns within 30 days of purchase, so I guess there’s nothing to lose by trying their stain removers.
