How to Shop Online for a New Home

by Kero Posted on May 22, 2013

Buying a home online isn’t as easy as returning a new dress or shoes that you can’t walk in. It’s unlikely that there will be a free returns policy or an excuse to try it out for two days before you make a decision on whether it’s the right buy for you. Finding a new home for sale online is a task that can be done at the click of a button, literally, but it’s important to consider all your options before you dare to purchase a home that could become a significantly long term investment.

Searching for a house and arranging viewings can take up hours of your time that could be better spent decorating your new home that you managed to find on the internet in minutes! It really is that simple.

But if the thought of online house hunting makes you feel a little apprehensive, here are some essential tips to help you through the process:

Stick to what you know

This may sound pretty self-explanatory, but if you aren’t used to house hunting online you may want to try reputable property sites such as Rightmove and FindaProperty first. Even if you struggle to trawl through the masses of homes available, these sites will give you a head start and a good indication of what asking price you should expect for the type of space you require. Adzuna is also a really good site as it singles out the best properties for you and will refine your search.

Always on the go?

Mobile apps not only help to do your food shopping, online banking whilst helping to organise your life for you. You can now find travel apps such as Citymapper (London specific) that will help you to find the nearest transport links to any potential homes you see online, ensuring that you become familiar with your new area too.

And if you know what kind of home you want…

Make sure you set up regular email alerts so you can monitor the property market to ensure that you don’t miss out on buying your dream home online.

Philips VisaPure Cleansing Device

by Kero Posted on May 21, 2013

Women can now take their daily skincare routine to the next level with Philips VisaPure; a gentle, easy-to-use skin cleansing device that massages the skin to remove make-up and dirt, and is ten times more effective than hand cleansing. Philips VisaPure revitalizes the skin in face or décolletage in just one minute and helps unveil the natural radiance and a healthy-looking glow.

Speaking of the benefits of using VisaPure, Dr. Reem Alkassem said,“One of the most vital cores of enjoying a flawless beautiful face is cleansing it deeply and VisaPure does this job easily and effectively. It works through the skin gently to remove dirt, make up and daily residue. The cleansing result VisaPure delivers allows the skin to breathe and enhances the absorption of the daily creams. This is the right way to get a healthier, young-looking skin”.

Gently revitalizes skin, even in the shower

Philips VisaPure provides a gentle, thorough cleanse for face and décolletage, revitalizing the skin to swiftly reveal a more radiant complexion. The fully waterproof new product is the only cleansing system in the world that features ‘Dual Motion’ technology, which creates a comfortable massaging effect that improves micro-circulation beneath the skin’s surface to bring out the skin’s natural radiance.

Optimizes skincare routine

The silky soft brushes that come with Philips VisaPure both rotate and vibrate to gently remove make-up and dirt, and cleanse away dead skin cells. As part of the ‘Dual Motion’ technology, the vertical vibrating motion of the brush breaks up surface dirt which is then swept away by the rotating movement, leaving the skin deeply cleansed and stimulated.

Elegant design and feminine finish

Philips VisaPure has been developed to suit the needs of modern women with an iconic and stylish finish that is both elegant and feminine. VisaPure has been ergonomically designed to maximize comfort and enhance the cleansing experience while it is also compact and it can subtly sit on the table top or can easily be carried in handbags when travelling.

The VisaPure experience

  • Philips VisaPure gently massages the skin to effectively remove make up and dirt, and can even be used in the shower
  • A Skin Zone timer indicates when it is time to move on to the next area, ensuring the face and décolletage are cleansed thoroughly and evenly
  • Philips VisaPure is simple to use with two settings: A ‘Gentle Cleansing’ and a ‘Deep Cleansing’ mode for tailored cleansing intensiveness
  • Women can also adjust their cleansing experience to suit their skin type or requirements with tailored brushes, such as sensitive and exfoliation

LSS: Feel This Moment by Pitbull ft. Christina Aguilera

by Kero Posted on May 16, 2013

I am discovering (and lovin’) Pitbull these days!

I was out for annual swimsuit purchase and Debenhams store kept on playing upbeat music. You will hear rap and sombre Suzuki Keyboards so even if you can barely make out the lyrics, it is still music. It makes shopping a little more delightful than it should be haha. I took my time then trying each bikini and tankini before settling for a one-piece abstract print bathing suit in black and emerald.

Two songs particularly struck me. Coming home to Google them, I found they are both from American rapper and songwriter, Pitbull. Contrary to what his name evokes, you won’t find him menacing. I don’t even see a tattoo. In fact he looks like a charming, easier on eyes version of Vin Diesel: shaved hair, jeans, and day jacket. He is clean. A refreshing sight in the sea of Chris Brown and Jay-Z shirt-and-chain loving rap performers.

Enjoy the video:
