Love to shop? Then subscribe to my RSS feed to be the first to find out what's hip and happenin' in the world of shopping. Thanks for visiting!
Man, this has been one tumultous week for financial markets the world over. I mean, that’s practically all the news that’s on TV the past few days. Depressing, isn’t it?
I’ve already been working on reducing spending - you know, buying less, opting for cheaper options. Now it looks like I need to cut back some more 
.
Are you in the same boat? A friend of mine has been looking into some High Risk Personal Loans for small loans which get approved quickly. She doesn’t need them now but if the economy continues the way it’s expected to, she will at least have the information on hand.
I mean, it’s not like it’s any embarrassment to take out a small Personal Loan, provided it is not to support a lifestyle you can’t afford. But if a minor financial emergency comes up, and they do, then it’s perfectly justifiable.

The price of gas, food and everything else is hitting the roof these days. Everyone’s tightening their belts, like it or not. I guess this is the time to be honest with yourself and try to live within your means.
But we all know how sometimes cash can be a stretch if the car breaks down unexpectedly or a friend’s wedding comes up and we need to spend more than we budgeted for.
Well, this is not the time when Payday Loans can really come in handy. It’s a short term loan of a small amount, just enough to tie you over till your next payday. They’re usually approved very quickly so you can get right on to whatever you need to do.

Ever been in a meeting with a HR Manager wearing a leather skirt? Or ticked off a female staff for wearing shorts to work? Or dealt with a bank officer wearing a bareback? I have.
Thing is you shouldn’t dress for work the same way you would dress to go shopping or to a social event. Dressing for work just requires that you put some thought and use your discretion when planning what to wear.
When I was working in Corporate Tower, I was the only woman manager in an all-men management team. So I had to think twice about looking feminine yet professional. But it’s not hard.
You want to keep the lines simple without showing off too much. So save those spaghetti straps, barebacks, low necklines, high hemlines, midriff-baring tops for casual wear.
Stillettos can be hell especially if you have a job that requires you to be on your feet. So go with a comfortable heel height that won’t put too much strain on your feet and back.
Those flip-flops and super-flatties don’t belong in the workplace so stash them away till the weekend. And go easy on those accessories. In many cases, less is more.

It seems we’re fast becoming a city of advertisements. I was at 1 Utama recently and noticed they’ve got ads now on the automatic sliding glass doors, elevator doors and the pillars all over the mall? Gah! Talk about an overkill.
But given that we’re heading towards a weakening economy, I guess businesses have to advertise all the more to get noticed and to stay in the running.
I’m sure that sort of advertising can’t be cheap. Compare that with online social media advertising at SocialSpark and I think they’ll really see the difference. That’s exactly what I mean, why don’t these businesses advertise online instead?
IZEA offers so many different advertising options and services to choose from. You could have a bunch of bloggers reviewing your business. Give them some free samples to try and they’ll be able to write an even better review 
.
Or you could have your ad flashed on different sites whenever someone visits. As more people go online to make their purchases, you don’t have to worry that no one will see your ad.
So if you’re involved in advertising for your company, you should take a look at what IZEA has to offer. Sometimes you need to experiment with new and trendier ways of advertising, no?
