Kaki Shopping

Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular forms of online marketing nowadays.  Online stores seek to promote their services and products by utilizing the powerful method of affiliate marketing, which is really a referral system, but not in a manual manner.

In order to run an online store that uses affiliate marketing as one of its tools, choosing a good affiliate software is very important.  I’ve come across online stores, blogshops especially, who promote a referral system, but without the use of affiliate software, and I personally find that very haphazard.  These stores could very certainly boost their sales and online presence if only they’d invest in a trustworthy affiliate software such as iDevAffiliate.

Installed on the server which hosts the online store’s website, this means that the purchase of the iDevAffiliate software is a one-time purchase, after which the online store is able to use the software for as long as they want.

Customizing the iDevAffiliate software is a breeze, and if you do run into any problems, help is just an email away.  The graphical user interface is very pleasing to the eye, and easy to navigate, making it an enjoyable experience both for the administrator of the affiliate program as well as the potential affiliates who sign up.

As a person who does online shopping most of the time, I personally feel iDevAffiliate is the affiliate software of choice, if you want your online store to perform seamlessly with the affiliate tracking and integration.  For the price of USD99.99 for iDevAffiliate Standard, you get a year’s worth of free upgrades and on top of that, your license never expires.  There are also bulk purchase discounts (e.g. 10% discount if you purchase 2-5 site licenses) and additional optional upgrades at a nominal fee.

Definitely worth your while and investment!

While driving home today, I listened to a brief discussion over the radio about male nurses, and how competent they too can be.
I honestly believe that the public mindset should be altered so that male nurses could be more acceptable too, because I am sure they can do just as good a job as a female nurse.

After all, all nurses are earning an honest living and are a great asset to the medical community.

Incidentally, anyone who is interested to take up nursing as a career can enrol themselves in this rewarding field, which is very much in demand worldwide.  Information about Certified Nursing Assistant programs are available online, where we can check the average salary earned, qualifications needed, skillsets to be possessed and also interview questions.  Also available online are cna training schedules and classes.

Shopping for a career?  This might just be it!

It is definitely every shopaholic’s dream to be able to test a product for himself or herself before buying it.  After all, we’re talking hard-earned cash here.  Unfortunately, rarely do we get the opportunity to do so.

However, a few months ago, I was asked to be test out a prototype of the Bouncy Baby Diaper, and of course, I jumped at the opportunity.  Bouncy Baby Diapers are created and manufactured wholly in Malaysia, so I was very excited about testing it out, since most of my cloth diapers are manufactured in either USA or Australia.

And after a few weeks of testing, I submitted my feedback.  I believe the feedback would then be used to rectify whatever flaws and shortcomings (if any) of the diaper prototype, so that the finished product would be an improved version.

Well, guess what?  Bouncy Baby Diapers was recently launched!  I haven’t had a chance to check out the product yet (apart from my prototype), but I do think the final product is certainly MUCH improved.  The one thing that I really really love about this cloth diaper is the Alova Suedecloth inner, which is so soft, I can’t even begin to describe it!

Also, the Bouncy Baby Diaper now comes with the option of a HEMP insert, to cater for heavy wetters.  This would appeal to mothers who would like to use this cloth diaper as a night-time diaper too. 

Bouncy Baby Diapers are available for sale at Tiny Tapir, and there is a HUGE introductory discount on now.  Pocket diapers (either snaps or aplix) on sale for RM42-52, and they also have a Value Set (3 diapers + 1 wetbag) for only RM120!

And oh, I almost forgot…if you want to try to win yourself one of those Value Sets, hop on over to Mummy’s Reviews for a great review of the Bouncy Baby Diaper and a chance to be a winner of the giveaway!

When I won a month’s worth of Madara Regenerating Night Cream, I was very eager to try it out…more so because it was organic more than anything else.  My regular night cream product is Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair, or what most people call “magic in a little brown bottle”, and I was not sure if I had wanted anything else to replace it, since it was working very well for me.

Still, I am always game to try something new…

Well, I’m glad I gave Madara Regenerating Night Cream a try.  Not only did I like it tremendously, I did feel as if the Madara Regenerating Night Cream worked just as well as the little brown bottle did!

The Madara Regenerating Night Cream was not too heavy, yet provided enough moisture to LOCK into your skin, so that my face felt rejuvenated after just one night’s application.  There is a certain floral scent to this cream, but it kind of fades away after a few minutes.  I like it that the scent was not too overpowering.  And if someone like me, who cannot stand stuff with scents is okay with this one, then everyone should be fine with it.

The Madara Regenerating Night Cream is packed in a sleek chic bottle, with a pump and plastic cover, so it preserves the contents after repeated usage.  The downside of this is of course, I could not tell how much of the night cream was left, apart from feeling it getting lighter and lighter in my hand.

According to the product description, this cream speeds up cell renewal and prevents the skin aging process.  I did feel as if my skin had been given that extra boost of renewal after several applications, and that’s always a good sign.  I guess it must have been the combination of all the natural ingredients in the bottle that did the work.  This night cream contains tomatoes, barley sprouts and seaweed, among other ingredients, and also includes hyaluronic acid which is a water-binding ingredient.

I use just a little bit (a little more than a pea size on the entire face), and I suppose this cream could be used on its own, after applying your usual toner, but I used it under my normal moisturizer too.  My skin is a tad dehydrated, and because I sleep in an air-conditioned room, I like to infuse extra moisture in it.

All in all, I feel the Madara Regenerating Night Cream does its job wonderfully!  It repairs all the damage caused by stress and the harsh environment, and hydrates with plant vitamins and antioxidants.  An extra plus point is that this cream is organically certified. :)  Some skincare products contain the caveat to “Keep out of reach of children”, but this cream did not, which I found rather comforting because it meant that I could apply the cream all over my face and neck and not worry a single bit when my kids kiss me goodnight.

So…what’s the damage, you ask?

Surprisingly though, the Madara Regenerating Night Cream is reasonably priced at RM148 for a 50ml bottle and can be purchased online from Bodybar Skincare.  Comparing it to the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair which costs at least RM200 for the same amount, I’d say the Madara Regenerating Night Cream is an absolute steal!

My wish is for Madara to develop a coordinating eye cream that does the same thing the Madara Regenerating Night Cream does too.  I am apprehensive about applying the Madara Regenerating Night Cream around my eye area, because its richness might be too much for the delicate skin around the eye area.

Would I buy this night cream again?  Most definitely YES!  And I am very happy I found it.

Now, how would YOU like to experience this wonderful Madara Regenerating Night Cream?
