Okay...so we all want our homes to smell fresh and clean. We have all tried those aerosol sprays that cloud the air and have overpowering scents, the air freshener solids that never seem to last, the scented candles which can be dangerous if left unattended, the oil diffusers (heated with a candle), incense cones and sticks (matches involved), and plug in oil burners which take electricity and an outlet space that could be used for something more important. After all these, Glade has come up with an amazing scent product that has made things simple and beautiful! The new Expressions collection has two types of air fresheners a stand alone oil diffuser that is refillable and a really nice mist spray that is also refillable. Both are in a really nice presentation and can be kept out and not hidden from guests you will have! They can be incorporated into your decor all year long. At the present time, the collection is available in 4 different scent combinations.  Th...

UNREAL...Its the only word for this type of candy with no Artificial color, no Artificial Flavors, No Corn Syrup and No Hydrogenated oils. When I first got into this BzzAgent campaign to try this new candy, I was a little leery that anything that takes out all the bad stuff that makes junk food taste good would probably taste awful.  I signed up anyhow thinking what could it hurt. Upon arrival of my Bzzkit full of coupons for these candies, I immediately went in search of them.  They were a little difficult to find at first, but I suppose most new products are.  I finally found them at a store in New Jersey near my office.   I purchased the Unreal 41: Candy Coated Chocolates, Unreal 5: Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar, and Unreal 77: Peanut Butter Cups.  The packaging looks like an 80's video game with a make on a black background.  The 'maze' actually spells UNREAL.  I took them home and stuck them in the refrigerator as I like...

So here's another cool product that I received from BzzAgent to try and I am so excited!  I don't usually stray away from my tried and true make-up products that I have been using for years, however, as I am aging, I am noticing that my skin tone and texture are changing even though I have had the same beauty routine my entire life and it has always worked.   CoverGirl and Olay are very well known names in the beauty industry so I figured why not give a new product a try? What could it hurt after all?  Well I'm hooked!!!! Liquid foundations usually seem oily to me.  I go to makeup counters and talk to consultants, have quick  in-store makeovers,yet I never seem to be able to repeat the experience at home after spending tons of money on the products.  That's why I was so excited to get in on this campaign to try the liquid foundation and pressed powder. I have been using the products now for 6 days and have been pleased with the overall results...

So I know this blog is supposed to be about saving money, however when I find products that work I have to share. I joined the BzzAgent campaign for Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution because I truly HATE my summer hair.  Some days I feel like if I go bald it would be better than dealing with the frizz and flyaways and just general unruliness of my tresses.  I love my hair, but some days I have to tell myself this over and over and remind myself that the humidity will go away in a few months and then I can work with my locks again to stay sleek if not beautiful. I have tried it all - mousses, sprays, gels, serums and creams and they all claim to help tame the frizz.  All these products ever did was leave my hair dry or greasy and yet still frizzy.  Over the years I have accepted that my hair is just overall a frizz disaster. NOT ANYMORE! Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution is a lightweight, non-greasy serum that you apply on damp hair and leave in. You actually...

  So lately I have been trying to find ways to save money and earn a little extra cash. As I am free on the weekends and not too busy on the weeknights after work I have found several sites to earn points and save them up for gift cards and cash.  SuperPoints is one way I have earned Amazon.com Gift Cards. In just a few months of being on the site I have earned like $ 40 in Amazon.com gift cards and $20 in PayPal Cash - Just with some time and minimal effort on my part! There are other reputable websites out there to earn free Amazon.com gift cards such as Swagbucks (see separate post about earning on other sites),and iRazoo, however Superpoints is slightly different. Superpoints is easier and fun, plus you can earn much faster! Superpoints is on the same earning potential as those other sites.  You will earn by taking advantage of Special Offers, Watching Videos and Completing Surveys. The difference is that there is no searching required on S...

Live Below the Line Okay all, I do not challenge myself often enough and this is a perfect way for me to change that.   I have pledged to " Live Below the Line " by feeding myself with $1.50 per day for 5 days from May 7, 2012 - May 11, 2012. WHY?   To get a feel for the 1.4 billion people who have no choice but to live below the line every day – and who have to stretch $1.50 to cover a lot more than food… Live Below the Line is an initiative of the Global Poverty Project, an education and campaigning organization whose mission is to increase the number and effectiveness of people taking action against extreme poverty.   I am passionate about this undertaking and helping to equip people with knowledge to fight poverty.   Live Below the Line is partnered with some of the best U.S. charities that fight extreme poverty around the world and have provided you the opportunity to support their work through personal sponsorship as you...
