I'm unemployed & wondering if you have any suggestions for a mom with an illness who is interested in legitimate work at home ideas? We've all seen the figures. Right now in our country we're facing a 10.2% unemployment rate. That number speaks volumes. What happens when income that you had coming in every week suddenly stops? Sure, we all know we should have saved for such an event, but many Americans are barely making by. And experts say that the 10.2% is really just the icing on the cake. Many more have faced having their hours cut, having to take more days off, etc. So, what are your options? Can working from home somehow help? First, consider if this is the time to start a home-based business. Perhaps you have been thinking … [Read more...]

Make Your Own Reed Diffusers

October 25, 2009 By 2 Comments
reeds

You may love the scents of the reed diffusers, but they quickly dry & up get expensive to replace. Here is an easy way to make your own or make up a bunch for special Christmas gifts. You can get cute bottles at your local craft or $.99 store (or Google "wholesale bottles") & tie a pretty bow around it. Just pour some unscented mineral oil into your bottles & then mix in 1 tsp of your favorite essential oil scent. If you don't have reeds, cut off the points of some bamboo skewers you use for BBQing & you are ready to go. Now you can have lav&ar in the bedroom (for easy sleep) & peppermint in the kitchen (to wake you up!) … [Read more...]

Most of us are on a budget & saving for our kid's college education is one of those things we know we should be doing, but we just don't know where that money will come from! Well, think again. Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at BankRate.com recently told Woman’s Day magazine that it's easier than we think. "If you take $5 every week & put it into a 529 college savings play earning 5% interest, at the end of 10 years you'll have $3.371 painlessly saved for your child's education."

How much do you typically spend on printer ink? I read online that if you calculate the price of printer ink it comes out as possibly one of the most expensive everyday consumer fluids there is at about $8000 per gallon! Walgreen’s pharmacy will now refill your printer cartridges with high quality in just a few minutes for $12.99 for either black or color ink at the photo counter. Watch their ads for coupons that can bring the price down to $5 or even "free days." For more information, including if your name-br& is one of them they fill, see Walgreen's web site . Their web site states it can usually be done in under an hour. Another tip they list that surprised me: "Will using refilled cartridges void the printer manufacturer's … [Read more...]

Need New Glasses?

It can be tempting to buy the frames at the optometrist's office, but oftentimes you will pay a great deal more, sometimes twice as much. Where you can find a better deal? Check with your local club membership store like Costco or Sam's Club Walmart Ebay. A recent search had over 3000 pairs of new glasses, including Gucci for $82 (retails for over $300). Try on similar pairs at the store first. 4Readers.com sells 3 pairs of reading magnifiers for under $10. Want the animal in you to come out? For just over $10 you can get animal print readers at peepers.com And if you are getting new frames, don't forget to donate your old frames/glasses to the Lion's Club. … [Read more...]
