Are you aware that going the DIY route can help you save on costs of flowers for wedding and special events? You can order DIY flowers at Bloominous, not just the flowers but even the accessories needed for arranging it.

My younger cousin, Aubrey, got married a few weeks ago. Since she knew I assisted my brother in his own wedding last year, she would call me up and ask for guidance herself. Of course, I helped her every step of the way. One of the first things I told her to do was make a budget. List down each item and set aside a budget for each.

When Aubrey asked about the flowers I got for my brother’s wedding, she immediately said no to it. Too expensive, she said. It was last minute when she found flowers that fit her budget. Still, too expensive for her but since she didn’t have a choice anymore, she sucked it up and paid for it. If only we knew about Bloominous back then…

You see, going the DIY way will lessen the cost of the flowers. Instead of paying a professional to arrange a bouquet or centerpiece for you, do it yourself! Bloominous will send the whole package to you. Fresh flowers, pre-cut and dethorned, plus there are pictorials for you to follow to make it all easy for the DIYer.

Stick with your wedding budget through DIY flowers only at Bloominous.

I keep in mind the companies, brands, establishments which have really good after-sales service. It is very important to me because I’ve had experience wherein a brand’s customer service was close to non-existent when I needed help in a product I bought. I was so disappointed that the next time I needed the same product, I didn’t buy that same brand anymore. I switched to another brand which has good customer service according to feedback from users. After-sales service is very important because it shows how much a company, brand, establishment care for their customers/clients.

Another thing that I look into when I buy something? Money Back Guarantee. A friend of mine told me about the same feature that an online site where musical instruments and anything music-related products can be bought. I am so glad to hear about it I made sure to bookmark the site for this coming holiday shopping that I intend to do on the last week of November.

Remember to check customer/client feedback before buying a product or availing a service. Most especially, the after-sales service and money back guarantee. Both are very important.

I can tell you what I’ve become after years of continually improving my way of life… I’ve become a simple person! And I am saying this in a good way. I’ve learned to live simply. I’ve learned that not everything money can buy can make us happy. There is a reason behind the saying “the best things in life are free”. I also learned that some people are there for you no matter what and those are the best people to have around you when you are on top!

I am happy that I have those kind of people in my life, those who are there for me when I am at my lowest and darkest. A handful, apart from my family, who have been with me throughout the years. I have gone back to living simply, yes, but I won’t hesitate to give one of those friends a Tube Tech CL-1B Compressor this coming Christmas even if it will put a dent to my pocket. I won’t mind spending as much for the others, in fact. They have been valuable to me and, simple life or not, I will go out of my way to show them just how much I appreciate their presence in my life.

I read that and it reminded me of the coming holiday season. I know that it’s time for me to make my annual list of gifts I will be giving to specific people in the family and from work. It’s not an easy task because it is hard for me to think of what to give some people. I find myself in a bind whenever I think of what to give especially to men other than family. Plus, there’s the budget that I need to think of and stick to when shopping.

I will start my list with family members. They are the ones who are easy to think what to give to. Then, there are the uncles, aunts and cousins. Some relatives with whom I am really close to. Of course, my godchildren are priority, too. And then there are the closest friends, friends from work, and neighbors. There are so many people to whom I should give something to this coming Christmas season. Just to let them know you remember them.

I have to set aside a bigger budget every year, more so than the last one. I don’t really mind as it is my own sweet way of telling everyone on my list that I thought about them and that they are special to me.
