Electric Sweeper
08.11.09 | Permalink |Living, Shopping| 3 Comments

One Saturday morning, I woke up and switched on the TV. I was sucked in by the Infomercial, you know where they sell things on TV. This was in US. I tell you I cannot live there else I go bankrupt easily.

I saw a vacuum broom and it is so need. The minute I saw it, I wanted it. The TV deal was 2 for US29.90. Great deal right? Nope I didn’t get it on TV, I am not that crazy.

However I was hunting for it in the local store when I was in the Bay Area. I was in the dilemma to get it or not. Finally, Vien took me to Macy at Stanford Mall and found one there. I like the packing, it is small and I can definitely stuff into my baggage.

The electric vacuum sweeper is very flexible, you can maneuver it through every corner. It sucks up all my fallen hair that my broom cannot sweep. It does not need a vacuum bag. It is wireless which means you don’t have wire dangling everywhere when you use it or trip over it. It has a charger for you to charge it up. The suction is pretty strong. Since it is a US unit, I need a step down transformer to charge the battery. With the help of my hubby, I managed to get one which is small to convert 110V to 240V. Pretty need. Don’t you want to get one too? I bet if I imported a whole bunch it, it will sell like hot cakes here.

Acne Problem?

Acne used to be a pain. I remembered going into puberty, my acne start popping out. I hate people telling me that I have acne and giving me all kinds of advice on acne treatment. I have a tough time as a teenager.

I can tell you there are natural treatments to acne or pimples. You don’t have to use strong chemicals. Some of these chemicals do leave scar on your face. I discovered a seaweed cleanser that helps remove dirt and oil from my face.
The most important is to keep your face clean and never use your hands to touch your face unless it is clean or washed. Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits. It helps your body drive out toxin. Hopefully not on your face.

Online Shopping

I love doing online shopping and I usually buy from ebay and Amazon.com. Weeks before I went to US, I did most of my shopping in Amazon.com. In Amazon.com, I get free shipping and no tax if I ship to Bay Area in US. It is better than physically shopping in Bay Area. Imagine 9.25% of tax added to your buying cost. Not fun!

I managed to get most of my son’s transformer toys there and it was on special too. I couldn’t find the latest Fallen in the local stores. I am glad I made the decision to get it online. My boy and nephew are grinning from ear to ear to see what I got for them.

I was also hoping to get a Spongebob Lego for my gal. I saw a couple of sellers in ebay having that product. However I didn’t win any of the bids. The price of the Lego was ok but the shipping cost was ridiculous. I managed to get it from Amazon.com at $37.90 without tax and shipping charges. The local store was selling from $39.90 + 9.25% tax.

If you are in the US, do pay attention to Amazon.com. I wished they have free shipping in Malaysia. That will be so cool!

Shopping Loots

Yeah yeah yeah…who can beat me when it comes to shopping in US. Yeap, I got so much stuff that I got a big hole in my pocket. You know what I got? I got a few bottles of multivitamins for my children, Corelle dinnerware, Coach bags, 6 lb of cherries, chocolates, a vacuum broom, lots of clothes for my family, toys, shoes, nuts, coffee powder, …etc.

I did have a hard time packing the stuff in. I always get a big box from my friend and pack it all in. Of course I had to carry the Corelle dinnerware on board my flight. Imagine I did shop some more at Hong Kong transit airport. The stuff that I carry back did give me a good exercise, I think it is the best weight loss supplements I can get.

The airport walking path is of no help. I had to walk from one end to the other. Fortunately in Changi, there was some feet massage machine to pamper my feet before I return home. It was really a great trip.

US is a great place to get anything that you want. My friend’s dog had a facture knee and couldn’t walk. He was in deep pain. The vet told my friend to give him Glucosamine. After taking a few course, he was able to walk. Imagine dogs taking supplements. She asked me to get Glucosamine for her pet dog. It is cheap there.

They have all kinds of supplements for pets. I am sure they have horse supplements too. You know where a good place to get horse supplements, it is at JeffersEquine.com. Great deals there too. If only I owned a horse.

Stands And Mounts

My apartment has completed the renovation. I got the curtains done up too. I have not seen it yet but my hubby said it is gorgeous. I got it done for ½ the price and I am happy.

Now it needs a nice tv stand. I was browsing the StandsAndMounts website. The TV stands there are exactly what I wanted. If only they can give free shipping to Malaysia, I will order one right now. It will be perfect for my apartment living hall. Next I will be looking for sofa and stuff.
