I wanted to start a blog because of our one income family with one child living by monthly pay check to pay check. I was hoping for an overnight sensation, making me $100 (hey! I'm not greedy or have any high expectations) haaaaa! I would be lucky to make a $1 on the first month let alone a $100, who was I kidding? I found that there was a significant amount of time, knowledge, design and marketing that goes into blogging and this is before you push 'publish'. Lucky for the 'how to' blog tutorials and the 'blogging for dummies' websites (and believe me there are magnitude of them) I managed to fumble my way to here. Boy, looking back, I still had a long way to go and still do. I don't even have a niche as of yet, I'm waiting for it to all come to me, so called winging it! Good luck with that one hahaha! Most of the tutorials and fellow bloggers certainly recommend that you have a niche, I say (and hope) it will come. So I continue to write random posts and hope to find that perfect niche. Whilst writing this I had only googled a "business plan" and still wondered if this was "my purpose" Yet I cant stop writing. To be continued x We all look forward to the warmer months of the year but these places are extremely hot. Here are the 10 hottest places on Earth.

The hot sun, clear water, luxurious accommodation with scenic vista, what more would you want? The Maldives is a South Asian island which lies Southwest of India and Sri Lanka. It is made up of 26 ring-shaped atolls and its capital and most populated city is Male. For my accommodation I would definitely go for the ever popular two levelled over the water luxurious bungalow with glass floors so we can see the pristine aqua blue ocean underneath, a luxurious king size bed in the bedroom with floor to ceiling windows or doors so we can gaze at the amazing view. Outside on the sun-drenched deck its very own heated infinity pool with daybeds to get the golden tan and set back a bit an outdoor bathtub for those star-filled nights with the only sound is the waves splashing gently against the magnificent residence. To top it all off it would have a slippery slide from the top deck to the ocean, what a blast! Of course you would want the most delectable food and drink because you could not live on the pristine vistas and sun alone and what kind of holiday would it be if you did not try the delicious local produce? The only thing missing from this perfect dream is having your family and friends there sharing this piece of heaven with you. Take me there NOW! These impressive tubs would surely sway the avid shower taker and absolutely delight the bath lover.
Bathing is synonymous with relax, rest and rejuvenate. The ritual allows you to escape the pressures of everyday life for a few precious moments whilst you dream about all the things that make you happy. Turn your gadgets off, light those candles, throw in the bubbles, fill the wine glass and let the swirls of the water caress your weary body, let the foam of the bubbles bounce around like billowing clouds. Soak the stresses of the day away in one of these luxurious baths. Simply a dream come true. With a bath like this why would you ever want to leave.... |
