CALL ME A “SECOND-RATE, TRYING hard copycat,” but it took several hits from a Facebook ad-testimonial from Cherie Gil to inspire me to upgrade my limited wardrobe selection. And fast.
Let me tell you why. When I say limited wardrobe, I mean limited. As a journalist for over the past decade-and-a-half, my wardrobe usually rotated among anything flexible enough to be worn from hotels one second, to wet markets, accidents, and fire incidents the next: collared shirts, 3/4 sleeved tops, and jeans, jeans, jeans. I had a few nice outfits, to be sure, for the usual nights out and personal events. Thing is, I am about to change industries; I will be moving from media to public relations. As a journalist who’s met some of the best PR professionals in this country, let me just say my “limited wardrobe” was definitely crying out for help.
Enter Cherie Gil and this Facebook ad from Stylist in Pocket (SiP). There she was, wearing a crisp, elegant yellow top and chic pants, in her quaint, beautiful home, just sharing her confidence in the stylist who visited her and put together her outfit. I was sold that first hit. Surely these stylists could work on me too! It took a few more hits, but eventually I went and checked out SiP’s site to surf the selection myself.
I clicked “Sign Up” on SiP’s Facebook page, and upon seeing the site, I was hooked. There was no turning back from there.

Mutual Fund: How Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) Help You Save For Long Term Goals
Mutual funds have emerged as one of the simplest financial tools for an investor to achieve financial goals. Whether one has the need to save for short-term goals or for long term goals such as children education, arranging a down payment for a home loan or for one’s own retirement, there are mutual funds available in all variations. What defines the working and the performance of each of them is the underlying asset-class. Those mutual fund schemes which have predominantly higher allocation to equities are suited for long term goals while those with higher allocation to debt are suited for short-to-medium term goals.
