Spruce Up Your Windows

September 2nd, 2010

Now is the time to do some upgrading in your home.  Freshen the place up, especially if you are planning on selling, but even if not, making your home look even better.  Check out some new kitchen blinds and something a little bit more modern.  People have the tendency to buy window treatments and then just let them sit there forever, never considering that their treatments could be outdated.  Are yours?  Start looking at what your friends and acquaintances windows are wearing.

Sell this or that?

September 2nd, 2010

I never would consider taking sales jobs but I eventually wound up in one of them, selling Mazda vehicles.  My husband and I attended a sales class from the Toyota car lot, but at the end I was told that husband and wife could not work together.  I didn’t understand why at the time but I later learned that it was because they knew that some of the salesmen didn’t make large enough commissions to keep the family going.  Make sure that you are the personality type for these types of jobs.  It takes an aggressive, go-getter attitude with love of working with the public.  But it definitely wasn’t for us.

Family Traditions

September 2nd, 2010

My granddaughter was assigned homework of writing an essay about a family tradition.  This was a little hard because we really don’t have any.  The most I could say was that we cook the same meals at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I told her that she could start a family tradition for her family when the time comes.  Sometimes it’s just something like having a certain food on Friday, or getting together once a week to play cards.  What does your family have for your tradition?

Most Acne Products do NOT work

July 15th, 2010

Were you aware that 95% of all acne products do not work?  In fact, 25% of men and 50% of women have acne.  I’m sure that all of them have tried various adult acne treatments and had no luck with them.  They probably had acne as children too and have been looking for a solution ever since.  I feel bad for those who have this nasty condition and certainly wish them luck finding a product that can help. Many such products are advertised on television by celebrities who claim that they work.  If they stated that they were not being paid for their time for those ads then maybe I would believe them.

Sailors Need Love Too

June 1st, 2010

Sailors and other seafaring employees once had no recourse from their employers if they were injured or killed on the job.  But in the 1920’s a new law titled the Gulf Coast Jones Act was developed in an effort to assist employees in obtaining compensation for their injuries and their families for when the employee died.  Before that time there was no law that definitely stated who was liable.  And as with many other employees, seeking legal representation is almost a given.

I Can’t Believe It! A 1TB external drive for just $99 Wow!

April 29th, 2010

Oh my God!!  I have been looking at external hard drives for quite some time now.  And I just saw one of those kind that hooks right up to your computer via a USB cord with a 1TB size!!  If you know computers then you’ll know what I mean about the size of that drive.  But what boggles my mind is that it is just $99!!  The last portable drive I looked at was $99 for a 550GB, so this price really is blowing my mind.  I still can remember back when 10mb was a large hard drive, and I guess that I just told my age, lol  Of all places, I came across this price at the buy dot com web site.  I’ve looked for deals from their site before and although I did find some good prices, I didn’t find anything like this one.  I’m impressed!

Stay In Style with Your Equestrian Clothes

April 28th, 2010

Hey, isn’t it time that you threw away all of your worn-out equestrian apparel and looked for some new ones?  Go to the Equestrian Corner dot com and see all of their new 2010 line which has some really nice new colors, with better styling.  Don’t go to the events wearing last years out-of-date clothing.  Looking good is important when it comes to events.  Don’t let old styles be your downfall.

New Years Diet Resolution

March 2nd, 2010

I wonder how people are doing with their New Years’ resolutions for losing weight.  Honestly I am not doing that well with mine.  I had cut back on the amount I ate and had good results, but the problem is that it seems that the minute I decide to try to cut back on food intake, my family decide it’s time to step out to eat.  Maybe if I tried Stimerex ES I would have more luck.  This pill is supposed to give energy and help with burning fat, definitely two things that I could use.

Obtaining an Online Degree Couldn’t Be Better

February 18th, 2010

At Western Governors University as with many others, you have the opportunity to apply for financial assistance and in some avenues that you would not normally think of, such as AARP.  Some specific degrees are often offered scholarships.  And when it is time to further your career, online degree programs are a definite option.  And when you do not have to travel in order to obtain a degree, an online university  is where you will want to look.  Western Governors University is a non-profit university, and has been noted in Time Magazine as the best relatively cheap university you’ve never heard of.  Grab a degree that is well valued by employers, but the flexible learning allows students to learn at their own pace.  Of note are their Teacher’s College, College of Business, College of Information Technology and College of Health Professions.  These are all offered in licensure, bachelors, masters or graduate degrees.

Moisturize Your Face for a More Youthful Look

February 18th, 2010

I’d heard good things about Olay’s Regenerist Microsculpting Cream—mostly that it was the poor man’s Crème de la Mer—so I decided to take a chance. I’ve always had a soft spot for Olay products; that’s what my mother used for the entire time I knew her. 

So I walked to the drugstore and bought it—and this is where I should warn you that it’s a little pricier than what you’d normally expect to pay for a drugstore cream—then slathered it on that very night.

I continued to study youthology reviews , but just when I was about to give up on this moisturizer altogether I noticed my skin being much smoother and my facial problems were disappearing.   I was reluctant to try it, but now I’m glad I did.
