guest toilet

This was the very first room we finished. Before moving in to this house, we made sure that we have the proper place for nature’s calls. Last week, we decorated it with real orchids so it has a little bit of tropical and Asian element (Looks very Japanese if you ask me).  The toilet and the vanity set are from HORNBACH. The orchids’ pot is from China. We saw it in one of our moving boxes and I can’t really remember where we got it from. The floor tiles are of dark grey color and the wall tiles are plain white accentuated with an aluminum boudoir. We don’t have the know-how about tiles so we had the tile job done professionally.

The grey towels are from IKEA. We haven’t decided yet which window curtain/blinds we’ll use so it is still bare but it is okay for now because the glass is translucent anyhow so we don’t have to worry about people being able to see us from the outside.

landing my first writing gig

I’ve been with Odesk for two weeks now and I am really glad that I joined them. If you’re a blogger like me, maybe you’ll understand if I tell you that it is one of my dreams to be able to do a serious freelance writing job. Two weeks ago, that dream finally came true. I am now a proud contributor to an online travel magazine. I love doing freelance writing and I love the first assignment I got.

Before landing a freelance writing gig, I had to apply to job offers. I had to send impressive résumés to buyers so I needed to work my resumé first. I think that was the most difficult part. Resume writing is not easy and even now, if I have to write a resume, I read some sample resumes first. Reading free sample resumes available online was really a big help to me. I learned how to do it properly and i actually used one of them as a template for resume.

Right now, I have my default resume which I send out to buyers but most of the time, I rewrite my resume to fit to the job I am applying for. If you ever need resume writing help, search online and you’ll definitely find a sample resume that you can use to guide you make your own.

needing a new pair

I am becoming more and more bothered by my eyesight. Lately, I am experiencing unexplainable headaches and I noticed that I can’t see clearly with my pair of glasses like I used to with them anymore. I think I really need to have my eyes checked, get a new prescription, and buy a new pair of glasses.

Before learning about Zenni optical, the fact that I need new eyeglasses would have been a problem for me because eyeglasses are really costly. Right now, I am okay with the fact that I have to buy myself a pair of new eyeglasses every half year because I can always get them at a very cheap price from Zenni Optical. I’ve read a lot about Zenni Optical already and these articles are mostly from satisfied customers who are happy to share some frugal tips on buying eyeglasses. These happy costumers say that the frames from Zenni Optical don’t reflect their price because they are high quality frames—something you wouldn’t expect to get for only a few dollars. They also said that the service is also very efficient and fast and they are generally happy with the glasses they ordered from Zenni Optical.

I haven’t bought any Zenni Optical yet but basing on all the praises they are getting lately, I will try them too.
