The cold mountain air, the crisp crunch of white under your feet, skiing is an experience bar none! So I heard. Thing is I have never gone skiing and they tell me I don’t know what I have missed. So I have decided that I will now personally find out what the oohing and aahing is all about – I am going skiing! That brings me to my first love; shopping, this time it’s shopping for skis and ski equipment and accessories.

The gear lounge is the first site I explored on my quest for all things ski related. Lots of discounted options right on the front page, skis, shoes, boots, ski pants, tights, and lots of other stuff. And they offer freebies such as free socks with every shoe purchase and a free bag with each snowboard purchase. Additional discounts are also available at checkout by using coupon codes provided.

It could be the single people find the whole brouhaha surrounding Valentine’s Day a wee bit nauseating, the in your face displays of love and affection rather too smug to take – so whether as a joke or as a mutinous reaction to Valentine Day, someone came up with Singles Awareness Day (acronym SAD, so it must be someone’s idea of ironic wit) – there is some difference of opinion whether it is celebrated on 13th, 14th or 15th of February, but celebrated it is!

So the idea is that if people will send their ‘better halves’ all manner of mawkish gifts, then there is no reason why single people shouldn’t send themselves a gift of two as well! Getting together for a singles party, getting some pampering from a spa or similar, going for a holiday, doing something meaningful like volunteering to help with or donate to a charity can all be terrific ideas for Singles Awareness Day and equally, one can treat oneself to the following gifts –

Clearly I am in the Valentine mood and am thinking all things Valentine, and thought to myself what the best kinds of gifts are that make the least environmental impact? And hence this post about green Valentine Day Gifts, with ideas from here and there and a few of my own –

• Organic anything – fruit, chocolates and even wine can be organic, if the raw materials are grown responsibly using no chemical fertilizer, pesticide and so on. Organic is healthier to consume and minimizes environmental impact; if it costs more, it may well be worth it!
• Recycled products – The Valentine day card you buy could be printed on recycled paper or you may want not to use any paper at all- use your creativity to fashion something unusual from waste material at home! Or you can send an e card; zero environmental impact!

My niece is visiting from Manchester. She just completed medical school. Yesterday, she mentioned about now beginning to look for a job in a reputable hospital. She was lining up interviews and meetings and was pretty nervous about them if I may say so. She spent an entire evening at the computer researching and preparing.

Apparently a lot goes into preparing for the real world as a doctor. It’s not just about getting through medical school. There are many courses and seminars and help websites that help people preapre for just that. Interviews, seminars, lectures, you name it!

Valentines Day is coming up, and I’m thinking of gifting myself a nice rock! Instead of waiting around for someone to get the idea of buying me one, I think I shall just buy myself a nice ring. What say peeps?!

So I went about looking for good deals on rings that would take my breath away. This particular site for engagement rings caught my fancy. Not that I know much about diamonds, except that they are every woman’s best friend! Luckily they have a section that educates novices like me about the finer nuances of buying diamonds sensibly.
