Netflix: is it the best choice?

Hubby and I have been watching movies, at least 3-4 a week. We used to be with Blockbuster and loved it up until they continuously raised their rates like every month. We got fed up so we quit. We signed up with Family video which was way too cheap but we needed to drive there to pick up movies and return them on time. Now, we are with Netflix and so far, i have no complains. We can watch movies from our computers and i heard we can even hook it up to our TV so we can watch it on the bigger screen. which we haven't tried yet. We missed watching tonight, though but it was OK as i need to do some tasks anyway. It is getting late and needed to do one more task before heading off to bed. Good night everyone! By the way, if you have a movie to recommend, feel free to share.

Send Your Love Through Giftcards From Friendgiftr

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of FriendGiftr. All opinions are 100% mine.

Father’s Day is fast approaching and I bet most of us are now thinking of what presents to give to our dear fathers out there. I personally hate shopping for presents but don’t get me wrong. I love shopping but only for myself. When I do have to give presents, I always buy giftcards, because I thought it is less hassle on my part and whoever gets it can use it for whatever he or she wants. But I fail to realize that giving a giftcard for that particular store limits the giftcard recipient’s option to get something outside of that store.

For instance, on Mother’s Day, I gave a friend a giftcard from Wal-Mart, thinking she could use it there, knowing it is one of her favorite stores. It was too late when she mentioned about a nice bracelet that she saw on sale at Overstock.com. I know at that very moment, that it would have made her happier had I given her a giftcard from FriendGiftr. Even if the giftcard was not for Overstock, she could have easily swapped it to Overstock and bought herself that beautiful bracelet. Overstock.com is one of my favorite sites online, which is also one of the many merchants - restaurants, retailers and online stores where FriendGiftr giftcards could be used for.

What is really nice about FriendGiftr, is the flexibility or options that it offers to its users – both the giftcard senders and receivers as well. With it, you can send your loved ones customized giftcards from the website itself, through Facebook, Iphone, Blackberry and Android. Access to their service is actually just within your reach. Now, receivers or giftcard owners, on the other hand, have the option to swap their giftcards to any of the more than 120 merchants available, without any additional cost. A single giftcard can be used to multiple merchants. Amazing, isn’t it?

So, if you are still hunting for the best gift you can give on Father’s Day, I’m sure FriendGiftr is the best way to go.

Las Vegas pics...

Here are some of the pics i would love to share with you on my recent Vegas trip with hubby.

The snowy mountains .... an amazing view from the plane on our way to Las Vegas

Here is another one! I'm not sure if those are rivers?

The Excalibur Hotel, where we stayed.

The strip at night


The Fremont Street experience ... the old Vegas

There are a lot more photos but these pretty much show Las Vegas is a different experience one should not miss, if given the chance.

Photos...photos and more photos!

I took more than 600 photos while in Vegas for 6 days and i want to post some of them but I just have to organize these pics. Vegas is really worth a visit! I love the city, the lights, the shows and believe me, even the hot weather. My only complain was: we needed to do a lot of walking. You woudl not appreciate the sights if you don't walk. I tried the casino, played few bucks but that was it. I never won, though, But, i learned to play video poker and enjoyed it. I don't find the slot machine exciting, my $20 would not last for 10 minutes on it, lol! If given the chance, i would love to visit Vegas again, as i know there are still places that i haven't seen while there.
