Inspirational Consumer: September 2005

Judi Silva, USA

I found Lovemarks when I signed up with BookCrossings. They had a link to Lovemarks on their web site. After voting and leaving a comment, I read through some of the other nominations and then nominated my first Lovemark - Shah Rukh Khan on November 26, 2004.

I have introduced Lovemarks to many family members and friends. The result: AsianOutlook.com helped get Shah Rukh Khan to #1 in less than a year. Some friends and family members who also think the idea of Lovemarks is cool, have visited the site and not only voted and left comments but nominated Lovemarks of their own. I have also written articles about Lovemarks for Bollyvista.com, reviewed the Lovemarks book for Amazon.com.

I prefer to shop online rather than in the malls but obviously there are times when that isn’t feasible. Wal-Mart and Whole Foods are some of my favourite places to shop in person. The people working there are friendly and you can get everything you need between the two of them. Online it’s Amazon, Ebay and Nehaflix, just to name a few.

I like to spend quality time with my family; going for a drive down to the beach, the mountains or another relaxing destination where we can enjoy nature to its fullest. It also gives us time to refect on the important things in life.

I would love to go to India and visit the Taj Mahal under the moonlight; meet Mariska Hargitay; and although I love my costume jewelry from various places and wear them all the time, it would be nice to own a Tag Heuer watch. It could be my first real piece of jewellery that is of the highest quality and beautifully handcrafted - especially since we share the same motto "Don’t crack under pressure!"
