Shopping has not been easier since the invention of the barcode scanner during the 70’s. Long queues in front of cashiers were somewhat a history now as all the products in the market today have barcodes imprinted on them to enable faster execution of checking out. But there lies a problem as a shop gets bigger with rapid expansion. Hundreds of products would be stacked up on rows and rows of shelves and there are chances that some pricing might not be labeled properly.
I had encountered such problems on many occasions while shopping in a local hypermarket. Sometimes the distance to the cashier just to enquire about the pricing of a product would require quite a long walk. Most of the time I would just put back the item as I hated the hassle of running around for the sake of just wanting to know the price. Since barcode has been so commonly used in our daily life, it pondered me why some of the hypermarkets around are still not providing this service to its consumers.
I won’t think having a barcode scanner within the reach of a consumer would be much burden to the hypermarket. Although some may have a few scattered around, but the quantity might not be enough to cater to the needs of its consumers. I had experienced running few shelves away just to check on the price for a bar of chocolate. Well, it might be a great way to sweat it out before indulging with the rich chocolate bar but that does not necessary mean what others would want. Let’s hope some of these shops would realize the importance of having more barcode scanner around before it’s too late. Happy consumers are surely behind the success of a company.

Do you think hard work pay good? It indeed does with all the sacrifices, long hours, effort and more but it also has a price to pay for towards the end of the day. Crow’s feet, bags, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes would be some of the “rewards” you might gain. Well, I’m one of those people with a huge problem for wrinkles and dark eye circles as working around the clock until quite late each day has become such a norm.
I had visited so many of the dermatologists and beauticians around for some solutions but I still could not find any. I have been introduced to surgery, usage of Botox and many more but I had decided against them as the risks involved had been widely known. I won’t want to get disfigured face in case any unforeseen circumstances, would you? On top of that, there are thousands of skincare products on the market that guaranteed the elimination of wrinkles and dark eye circles but how sure are we that those products are safe for out skin? Even if they are safe, would the price of such products be affordable for everyone?
After much effort in surveying and testing out some of the products in the market, I finally found the best eye cream for my wrinkles and dark eye circles problems. The product contained peptides which have been widely known for their ability to produce more collagen and elastin. Now I have a better and brighter facial skin for a better satisfaction.

Weddings are truly beautiful things. It’s always a great deal of fun to witness them and to recollect those wonderful moments many years down the road, either in pictures and prints or through videos. I happened to attend a wedding dinner of a family friend recently and it was one of the most memorable one of all time. Not only was the wedding somewhat a reunion for many of us to meet up our long lost friends, it was an eye opening time for a new age of fashion with everyone dressing up in their best.
When I thought it would be another evening gown event for all the pretty ladies around until I saw how beautiful the bride was. She really did dress up to kill for the memorable night. All the glitters on her neck almost blinded me as those were believed to be real diamonds. She was dressed in a crown of pure white mystic roses nestled in her long tumbling curls with ribbons of silver and violet, a silver sapphire pin, a pair of sparkling diamond earrings in the shape of a starburst, a pair of elbow-length white satin gloves with diamond clasps, a pair of delicate white lace slippers with silvery ribbons which tie about the ankles and an exquisite low cut gown of diaphanous white satin with a train of silvery laces that caught the light with every movement. I was stunned for a moment with such beauty.
The groom himself did not disappoint me either. He was wearing a Ralph Lauren tuxedo with silver piping on the lapels and cuffs, a white satin shirt with some silver trims, a beautifully crafted grey vest with diamond-like buttons, a pair of white breeches with a double band of black and silver down each leg and a translucent crystal-like red rose pin. He was stunningly handsome as if he was popped out from one of the top men’s fashion magazine.
This was the most spectacular wedding ceremony that anyone had attended and I would gladly claim that I had participated in the memorable moment for years to come. After all, I was also dressed in my best tuxedo during the group photography session?

tips
I still could not believe why there are still so many people in this present technologically equipped world are still having the phobia of being approached by an insurance agent. The word “insurance” does not necessary has to be related to the “D” word where a life would be at stake. It could just as well be for other areas pertaining to natural calamities or man-made damages or losses like fire, flood, earthquake, theft etc. It is a good financial plan that seemed to be overlooked by many people until they have faced head on with the tragedy loss of a loved one or even the inadequate insurance coverage they have on their assets.
Most people would just stay in the comfort zone, having the wrong perception that they or their loved ones would not meet with any accidents. Eventually, in most cases, it was too late to turn back the clock. What’s the reason for procrastinating while you know exactly that having the right insurance premium would ease yours or your immediate family’s financial burden in time of unexpected situations? Having not enough time, money or delaying the immediate action to get one covered are some of the lamest excuses and failures in a person’s life decision making. The future is just as important as the present.
Auto insurance would probably get the most attention as it would be a “must-have” insurance coverage while owning a vehicle but getting the right insurance agency does matter too. There are so many auto insurance quotes out there for you to choose from but you have to be wary of the terms and conditions it has to expedite claims. Moreover, please choose carefully a reputable agency to handle all your insurance needs as well as one with higher deductibles on your premiums. Won’t that be great to save a bit more on your yearly expenses?

wrinkle
You felt your whole body is like tearing apart with squeaking sound here and there, as if it’s a worn out machine. Every part that works in your body hurts and those that don’t are practically useless. The next thing you would realize would be you consuming more pills than food. Your mind may want to do something but normally your body won’t cooperate. They don’t calibrate with each other well.
You thought you can still enjoy life by the beach as you would when you were twenty years old but the rays from the sun kept making your bifocal lens hurt your eyes. You used to bring your girlfriends to the beach to have a great time. Now it’s not your children but your grand children. That’s another sign of old age.
It’s really frustrating when you know all the answers such as how to stay healthy at such an age, what’s the best diet around or even ways to get the best wrinkle cream to make you look years younger but nobody bothers to ask you the questions. Time may be a great healer but it also had the reputation of being a lousy beautician. Unless you know how to turn back time or know what’s the best necessities for your age, it’s just another dull boring day in your life. I don’t think that would be what most of us would want in life. We should be having the best in our life even though we have time to fight with.
