How Do You Organize Your Bag Contest

Have you ever found yourself frantically digging through your 2-kg-cluttered handbag searching for what you need? Trying to locate your keys at a parking lot, perhaps? Finding your incessantly ringing mobile phone?


For years, women have battled with the problem. And, so do I. OMG! I really should have done something to get this problem resolved! You do not have to keep nagging yourself. Put off the worry to worry time. It is the time to get transformed!

Here are some quick tips to keep your handbag organized:

[+] Try to use one of your interior pockets for your cell phone, for easy access.

[+] Keep a wallet for your credit cards and identification – limit the amount of credit cards.

[+] Use a small pouch for loose change, instead of wasting time at the cash-register. If there is an extra interior pocket you can use exclusively for change - that works great too.

[+] A small cosmetic bag should always be used for your lipstick or any make-up items that could open or leak, and potentially cause damage your purse or other items inside.

[+] Use an eyeglass case to protect your sunglasses or reading glasses from scratches.

[+] Do not carry more than you really need. Look at the stuff inside your handbag and think about when you used each item last. If there are items inside that you have rarely used, or never used, then you really do not need them.

[+] Downsize items to fit in the zippered pouches. For example if you need pain-reliever or other medication, do not pack the entire bottle. Put some into a small pill case – very inexpensive and found at most pharmacies.

[+] Use travel-sized items for things like tissues, contact lens drops, hair brush, etc.

[+] A poly-envelope (sold at any office supply store) can be a great way to temporarily store receipts or coupons, along with a pen.

[+] Arrange all of your zippered pouches/containers in a manner that fits well and works for you.

Your handbag is now clutter-free:) Yes, compartmentalization is the key to an organized handbag but organized handbags are a rare breed. Yet, Gin&Jacqie has exactly what women are looking for.

: : Women and Handbags : :

Just like other women, I love handbags! It is just like my daily survival!


I personally choose handbags that would define myself and reflect my sense of fashion. I am no brand awareness person. I am fond of chasing the fashionable and simple handbags but value its ability in showing off! hehehe.. Elegant! Or at least, they do look elegant;p

They are women's best friend. They have to look good for us to look good;) setuju tak???..hah..kot ye pon suka melaram..jangan syok sendiri jek..jom melaram dan menang! Contest? Yes. But this time by Mrs.Fiza:)

: : My Dressing Barn : Tell us what you think CONTEST : :

ATTENTION everybody!

My Dressing Barn has given its blog a face lift. If you are reading this, take a look dude!

Nice job, right? I like it! It is a wow-worthy makeover! The black theme seems a lot welcoming with the contrast clean pink alphabetic characters which stand out nicely and complement the black background very well.


Perhaps, My Dressing Barn could even opt for a very catchy Flash animated banner someday for the extra jazz looking! hehehe..ada godek2 sikit mesti lagik kiut kan? ;)

The blog header is moving in the right direction with the so-called Fashionista clip art on the header! It looks fine enough to my screen resolution too.

I am just wondering if only the grey upper-bar titles matched the tone of the alphabetical header (the pink perhaps) - although I find it looks more elegant with some red in it. I think there should be some unifying elements between the header and the upper-bar as well.


I know it is unifying. Yet, the grey colour seems less appealing. How about changing the grey bar to the same pink found in the header? I think. Just play with it a little more to see how it may look, perhaps you will discover something you will like even more :)

Afterall, I like it! It is sophisticated and fun at the same time. I love the achromatic colour of maximum darkness with the juxtaposition of contrasting colours resulting the most striking banner! Go for bold colours.

CONGRATULATIONS My Dressing Barn! (^_^)

So, what do you think? Do you like the new look? Prefer the old one? Blog about it!


Good luck! ;) Pray for my luck too! hehehe...

: : Let's Get Organized : :

One can get hurt at home, at work, in the car or really anywhere. That is why it is important to always have access to a well-stocked and well-organized first aid kit – not just for yourself, but for your friends, family, and even strangers. Come on. Here is what you need to do to assemble your kit. Let's get organized! Let's support the 'campaign' by bungakesidang!


Let's get started! All "ingredients" can be purchased in one shopping trip from any pharmacy and can be budget-friendly if generic brands are purchased.


Get a good, sturdy box to store it in. Make sure that this container is heat and water resistant. Also, make sure it is small enough to be easily transported to where it is needed, yet big enough to hold all of the supplies needed. And make sure it seals, so items are not falling out!


It does not have to be a brand new box or a store-bought kit. Look around your home and, chances are, you will find the perfect container that can be 're-purposed'.

Recycle-Reduce-Reuse

With everything out, group like items together and arrange them neatly. Make them a lebel. It does not matter if the label is printed or hand-written, as long as it is there. The power of a label is amazing for keeping items in their proper homes!

Share the First Aid Box with your family so they know what it is and where it is. This will save you valuable time in a true emergency. Take 5 minutes to organize your First Aid Box today!

: : They Wish : :

: : Shoe Fetishism : :

..wait..wait..these are not mine;D

Nice huh? Pretty soon I could promise my closet will look like that too. Okay, maybe when I get obscenely rich;p


You have probably wondered who has got the best shoe collection out there when Zimah's Depart is having this contest opened for bloggers.

: : KOLEKSI KASUT ANDA CONTEST : :

Let's check out my collection!

[Click to enlarge]

Looking at my shoes sprawled out on the floor just made me realize how many pairs I actually own. No wonder I do not have enough room for all my shoes! However, I wish I was more experimental with colours. Still, my close friends recognize me for my matched skills in dressing up-and-down that keep me at their inspirational style list.

Some of these were bought quite a while back and some of them I just bought when I had some serious shopping during the second quarter of this year. I would normally pay for relatively low in price shoes. BIG SALE!!! Now I would not have to do that again for quite some time. Plus, my purse is crying already from being so thin! I am very pleased with all of them! The most expensive pair so far have been the boots!

+ DONE with all the T+C :)

P/S: I need to hurry since the contest ends an hour from now!

Trichechus manatus? What is it??? A manatee! Huh, what??? It is DUGONG la..hahaha;D

: : Feeling Feverish : :

It started this morning when I woke up and found myself with a mild sore throat. I was feeling quite well till afternoon. Yet, I seem to feel feverish with blocked nostrils on alternate sides! I do not seem to be able to get rid of this blocked nose!


I have taken the paracetamol and hoping the discomfort will begin to ease. And I drink a lot of plain water as well. The Prophet tells us to reduce the fever with water. He describes the intensity of fever by saying:
“Fever is coal from hell, get rid of it by using cold water.” [Ibn Maajah]
Thus, drinking a lot of fluids is very helpful.

**********************************************************

Fever wipes out ones sins and rids his body from dead substances and germs. It is a blessing in disguise.

The Prophet said:
“When a believer gets sick or feverish, it is like metal when put on fire, the bad is gone and the good remains.” [Al-Bayhaqi]

The Prophet forbade the cursing of fever by saying:
“Do not curse a fever because it abolishes sins like fire abolishes dirt from iron.” [Ibn Maajah]


The Prophet also said:
“For every ailment, there is a cure. If the cure reaches the ailment, it is cured by the will of Allah.” [Muslim]

: : Children's 'creativity' : :

Jimmy's English teacher was a perfectionist and demanded the very best of his pupils. So it was only to be expected that he would get furious when Little Jimmy handed in a poor paper.

"This is the worst essay it has ever been my misfortune to read," ranted the teacher. "It has too many mistakes. I can't understand how one person would have made all these mistakes."

"One person didn't," replied Little Jimmy defensively. "My father helped me."


Oh, kids! Their creativity knows no bounds!

Sharing another short funny essay written in Bahasa Melayu with you friends. Enjoy reading. :)
