How to choose a refrigerator

Thinking replacing your old refrigerator? There are a few types of common refrigerators in the market: top freezer, botomo freezer, side by side and built in.

The built in refrigerator definitely has great look and integrate with the cabinets, very pricy though, ranging from $1500 to $7000.

The side by side is not as expensive as the buillt in one, from $1000 to $3000 and often comes with ice and water dispenser. But it might requires more repair and the shelves are usually narrow.

Top freezer is very common in apartments for its space efficiency and the price ranges from $500 to $1500. But you have to bend to get the items. Of course it is easy to get the frozen items.

Bottom freezer is the opposite side of top freezer. It is easy to reach non-frozen items but difficult to get frozen items. It can be expensive too, up to $2000.

So depending on how often you use the freezer, how much space you have, how you want the refrigerator part of the room and the budget, you can choose the best fit your need. To see what is out there, check out the deals listed on Homeware catalog.

How to plan a wedding

Recently engaged? Congratulations! Now it is time to get ready for the big day. Before that date, you have a lot of things to work on:

How much you are going to spend? You might ask your parents and see if they’d like contribute. In most cases, they will more than happy to do so.

Once the budget is outlined, next big thing is how to allocate the money, which depends on the wedding place, the style, the number of guests, and the wedding dress of course.

A few places to choose can be from country club, hotel ballroom, vineyard, beach, church, restaurant, and backyard. Coutry club, ballroom and vineyard will have everything to cater a big party, parking, food, restrooms, and dining area. Of course it comes with a price and be sure to ask if any restriction, what kind of wines, food, and furnishings are available. Backyard might sound a bugdet plan but even though it sounds the cheapest first, the hiring of serers, bartenders, and cleanup crew can add up to the cost. Of course you prepare your own menu and wines can offset. Also Parking might a problem if you are going to inviting a lot of people. In case you are wedding without a catering service, you will have a lot of wedding supplies to buy. Call around and go online for bargains. Online shop often offers great deals, check out wedding supplies online store. Church hall will have plenty space and inexpensive to rent, but you have to do a lot of work yourself. Restrictions may apply too like the kind of music, food, and wine. Restaurants can a good choice because they probably already have had the experience to cater large party and not too expensive.

Once the place is decided, you can start to sort out the photographers, bakers and wedding consultants. You could ask family and friends who recently get married.

Meanwhile, start to look for the wedding dress but keep in mind the dress should best fit you in the wedding not just now since you might want to start a diet and exercise plan.

How to buy a jewelry

June is the jewelry month. It is very exciting, and also it could be very tricky. You probably already know about the four important values of a diamond: cut, color, clarity and carat. To have full understanding of the grading system, refer to Gemological Institute of America.

The next step is to choose the trustful certified gemologist which is member of GIA, Jewelers of America or American Gem Society. Also ask around for good names.

Don’t rush to the promises of huge discounts and most likely the original prices are already inflated.

Keep mind open by shopping online where the markup is low. But the cons are you won’t be able to see the jewelry and also might pay extra for mounting and sizing. Check out Online Jewelry Store to see what’s available online.

Once you have bought the jewelry, make sure it is valued by an appraiser certified by American Society of Appraisers.

If you are suspicious of the diamond, contact Jewelers Vigilance Committee.

What to carry in the wallet and when to use

What do you carry when you going shopping? Mostly one or several of those four: credit card, debit card, cash, and check. When to use them? Actually the question will more likely be what protection you get in case you lose them. Credit card is the most commonly used and offer greater protection among four of them. In case of lost, you will be only liable for the first $50 and sometime it could be even waived. It is also easy to dispute as long as you report the loss within 60 days. Another benefit is lots of them offer cash reward or some kinds of rewards. On the other hand, you will be liable for $50 if report within two business days, after that it goes up to $500 and no limit after 60 days. Also the money is directly withdrawn from your bank checking account and you will find hard time to dispute them. I have a friend whose checking card is used by someone oversea, it took him forever to get the money from the bank. So be aware of that even if you feel using debit card can reduce the chance of being charged interest by credit card company.

You can stop the payment on the check, but usually bank will charge a fee. Cash is then have it or lose it. No protection or dispute. If you do a lot of shopping within a day, you probably have to carry a bag of it.

So if you are cautious credit card user, and always or most of the time make payment on time, it would be better to go with credit card.

How to maintenance a car

Most of people know that a new car will depreciate a lot in the first year. The long you keep the car, the better chance you get your auto payment worth and save your money in the long run. Before getting to how to maintain a car, we’d better what cars to buy. Some of the reliable and cost effective cars are Honda Civic, Honda Element, Lexus ES and LS, Toyota 4Runner, Highland and Prius.

The first thing to remember in auto maintenance is to follow the service schedule on the owner manual. The manual will tell you how often to change oil, transmission fluid, and antifreeze, when to rotate tires and replace filters, belts, hoses and other parts. And most likely you don’t have to follow the 3000 miles oil change routine even though most auto garages will still ask to return to service after 3000 miles. Benefiting from the advanced technology, in regular situation, you will only change oil every 7500 miles. 3000 miles will apply to the severe situation, for instance, lots of city driving or short trips, cold or hot climate. When you take the car to a dealer for service, be cautious when they are trying to sell extra service or parts not on the maintenance schedule.

Use the right parts and oil according to manual, but buy the expensive or cheap ones. Do you recall the service crew at the service station asks you if you like use synthetic motor oil because of the better performance, but actually because of the higher price. But in reality conventional oil is good for most cars. Similiarly, most cars are built for regular gas so will run just fine with regular gas, filling up with premium gas could mean a waste of money.

Now it is the time to have a good habit to check the car frequently for the potential problems, such as bad smell from the engine, cracks in belts or hoses. Also frequently check the level and condition of all fluids, coolant, brake fluid, power steering. Be aware of any odd noise when driving. All these can help you keep the minor problems becoming major problems. Always refer to the owner manual to find out the right parts and check the price and availability at the local auto parts store or online, for instance, car parts online store for discount auto parts.

What to do if the baby has stuffy nose

Many parents have been facing the situation that the kids get cold and cannot breathe well. Because of that, the kids usually lose their appetites and skip the meals. But don’t worry about their skipping meals and try to offer them some higher calorie food whenever they feel hungry and want to eat. When the little baby gets cold, it becomes much more difficult for him to eat and then mucus would inevitably get into the child’s throat and sometimes cause vomiting.

There are something the parents could do to help the kids to eat:

Put some padding like towel or blanket underneath the side which the baby sleeps on or a pillow to keep up the baby’s head. And keep the baby uptight as much as possible during the day while not sleeping.

For little babies who couldn’t blow their nose effectively, use saline nasal drops and a bulb syring to clear the noise. It is not very comfortable for the babies but better than the suction.

Increase the mositure in the room where the baby stays, or give the baby shower. This can ease up things a little bit.

A classic one, children soup helps too.

Also remember not to feed the baby right away when he wakes up. Give him sometime and let nose try to clear itself first.

Let the baby sip when he feels to and offer the food tempts him as the food provides energy.
