Can You Really Make Money With SMC As Seen On TV
2008-05-26 16:52:00 Actually you can make money with SMC (Specialty Merchandising Corporation) I did it a couple of years ago and made a decent amount. I'm actually thinking about going back to it and selling some of the products on ebay. Here's how it works.SMC gives you access to tons of products from jewelry and home decor to bath and body products to knives and outdoor products...You get the picture.You can purchase these items at wholesale and then sell them at the suggested mark up and keep the difference. For example, Tan Dinnerware Set Sell for: $69.95 Your Cost: $23.30 You Keep: $46.65You can sell for less than the suggested price like $43.30 and still make $20. This is just one of thousands of products that they warehouse.You also get all kinds of marketing material including a way to sign people under you and make commissions with what they sell also.You can sell online, by mail, or person to person.

Treadmill VS Walking
2008-05-25 22:34:00 I recently started walking 30 minutes a day. I used to think that a treadmill would be better for me and it is for some. The convenience of having it right there to jump on and watch tv any time you feel like it makes it a great idea for those of us that procrastinate like me. But for me, when I walk 15 minutes I have to walk the other 15 minutes back so I have no choice. Whereas with a treadmill, I'd probably just get off. LOL More About: Walking
Great Patio Furniture
2008-05-25 22:28:00 Summer, summer. What a great time for some patio furniture! I'd love to have some in between the condos in the back for us to have for entertaining or just for me to hang out in. Our homes are so close together that it makes it hard for privacy, like laying out in our bikinis. Me and my neighbor sometimes get out there with the van and SUV parked so that no one can see us unless they really try! More About: Furniture , Great , Patio
Summer Vacations
2008-05-25 22:21:00 Looking for the next summer vacation? Try checking out Sea Pines rentals. Just looking for where to go is sometimes a chore and you need to not only consider the cost of the motel, but now you really have to look at what it will cost you to get there, like gas and airfare and food. Man has food gone up. At first I didn't notice it so much. You know a dime here and a quarter there. But just look at the value menus that used to be $1. They are now $1.50 and $1.75.

Finding Maternity Clothes
2008-05-25 22:11:00 It's been almost 17 years since I needed maternity clothes and I really don't remember how I found mine. I think I got a lot of hand me downs, but I do remember that it seemed I never had anything to wear. My good friend is now going through that same thing. I guess it's had to make maternity clothes when every woman grows differently with her pregnancy. The best thing is to go ahead and buy new from a reputable website unless you can find something in your home town that actually caters to women of all sizes. More About: Clothes , Maternity
Clearance On Stands and Mounts For TV
2008-05-25 22:00:00 Need a mount for your TV or other stands? I found a site that has not only a clearance category, but free shipping also. Standsandmounts.com has this great plasma mount for putting your TV where ever you want. I know mine sits in a corner and I would love to be able to mount it higher up or even put in a bigger screen in my bedroom that mounts up higher off the floor, but they are so heavy, you want to be sure that they are secure so there are no accidents.

The Closest Thing To A Chip In His Head
2008-05-25 21:53:00 I got a lot of emails about the idea of putting a chip in my son's head to keep track of him. I'm not the only parent that wishes we had that technology! I think my son sometimes wonders if that chip actually exists and I'm not going to tell him otherwise. At least there is something I AM considering that is the closest thing to it which is gps tracking which allows you to at least know where their car is and if they are using their seatbelt and how fast they are driving. Hmmm...now that I want to know more about. I always thought I'd have more time for this, but guess what? They turn 16 before you can blink. More About: Head , Thing , Chip
Save On Summer
2008-05-25 21:43:00 The summer is coming, or it's here actually if you live in the south. Wow, what a beautiful weekend! We are planning my son's birthday to be down in Florida for a day trip. I would love to find some cheap hotels, for everyone, but that is what it would be. Hotels in the plural. We are planning for about 30 people and I don't think even cheap can help with 30 people on my budget. Haha. More About: Travel , Summer , Save
Free Shipping On Beautiful Lights
2008-05-25 21:33:00 I found a site with beautiful lights and accessories that has free shipping on all orders over $75. It's called Lightoutlet.com. They have some great prices on lighting even before the free shipping. I am trying to find something for myself for the living room as I don't have a top light there, just a lamp. I love my little condo, but hey, who makes a living room without an overhead light? More About: Free , Beautiful , Shipping , Lights

Saving Money Every Way You Can
2008-05-25 21:21:00 I'm thinking of doing a series of places to get free insurance quotes. That's why I added this category and then neglected it doing other things. Now with the price of gas..ugh...I am really trying to find more ways to make money and save it. You know the old saying "A dollar saved is a dollar earned"Anyway one thing to look at is car insurance. Just see if you can save money or if you are paying more with the the company you are with. All insurance companies are regulated by each state they do business in. Some are better with service, etc. But do you have the extra money to put out every month? I'll try to start reviewing places to check out soon. More About: Money , Saving
How To Hide All Those Cables?
2008-05-25 21:08:00 My computer has been upstairs in my bedroom since the flood of 2007 (when the upstairs bathroom exploded). I left it up there even after the repairs were done because it seemed more comfy and the computer desk downstairs just took up too much room. I suggested moving it back down because my son is on the computer a lot and I want us to spend more time together even if he's on the computer and I'm reading a book or writing an article. At least we'd be in the same room. Today my son came in and agreed with me that he'd rather have it down here, too. We brought the other computer desk in, but it does not hide the HDMI cable and other cords as well as the bigger one. Anyone have any suggestions?Oh, and I was so pleased the my son wanted to spend time with his mom and I told him that. He said "Yeah, and plus I don't like my friends hanging out with me on the computer in your room when you tend to leave your bra or (gross) panties laying arou... More About: Cables , Hide
Tips To Get Your Get Paid To Offers Approved
2008-05-15 22:19:00 Get Paid To Sign Up sites are springing up all over the place. I've been doing them for well over a year, so expect them to stay around. The idea is they have "offers or surveys" that you sign up for that they give you a cash incentive to complete. For example, can you click on the ad below and enter your email, then click "go"?You can earn from 25 cents to $1.00 for doing these on the GPT sites. The offers can range from what we call freebies which means no cost at all to you or trial offers like trying out Blockbuster online and getting higher cash incentives. There are always tons of freebies (which I prefer unless I am really interested in trying something out) like entering your email address, zip code, signing up for a social site, taking a survey, etc. I earn about $50 to $100 a month myself just doing these every once in a while on several different sites mainly when I bored or having writers block.Now here are some things to remember abo...

Losing Weight
2008-05-14 23:58:00 I'm still looking to lose a little more weight, so I started walking. I went every two or three days for about 15 minutes and then boom, on Sunday, I went for 30 minutes (I timed it on the car addy to be about 2 miles) and have been doing the 30 a day for 3 days now. I am feeling better, but have not weighed myself yet. The kick start was some hoodia that I took about a year or so ago and then just eating healthier. Once I lost a little it gave me the inspiration to do more and I am liking the results.Besides hoodia it seems that people are looking for Phentermine. This is a low rated addition to pills, but seems to be the most sought after although it is harder to get. Consumer Price Watch is reviewing these and other weight loss pills and giving their reports on the top ten. Their site says that the product itself is a good formula, but scored poorly on overall weight loss and value. Check them out and see for yourself what you think is r...

Practice Makes Perfect
2008-05-05 21:51:00 I guess in my blogging experience I am finding that indeed practice does make perfect or in my case, better at least. HaHa. I'm still such a newbie and learning all the time. I think it is great that there are so many blogs and advice out there that you can learn a lot from. I, myself, browse frequently. But then I get confused and forget that you need to make a plan and really study what you read and make those relationships that will not only help you, but will grant you some pretty wonderful friends on the net. I'm not talking about spamming on someones blog "Hey check out my blog!" in a comment on a post that is totally unrelated to the post. I mean make some meaningful and thoughtful posts on blogs that you really like. I found a Personal Blog that has some good information on making the most out of adsense. Also, the main thing is that he seems to post frequently and does what his title says, "Practice Make Perfect " ...
At Least Answer The Phone
2008-05-04 22:58:00 One of the reasons I think a chip in our kids head to track them is that they can't or won't answer the cell phone when we call. This irritates me to no end. A way to knock out the "I had no service" excuse is to try cell phone amplifiers. This will amp up the service and their site offers a lot of solutions for cell phone problems. The site is Powerful Signal and they have boost for everything from vehicles to boats and aircards. More About: Phone , Answer
Should Have Put A Chip In His Head When He Was Born
2008-05-04 22:52:00 I still think I should have put a chip in my son's head when he was born so that I could track his movements! I especially began thinking this about the time he turned 13. Now he's 16 and it would REALLY help. Oh, well, they won't allow that anyway, but the next best thing to major surgery is gps fleet tracking that you can track in real time. You can put it on their vehicle, their person (not surgically...sigh...) or in a package. More About: Head , Chip
Saving Everyday Money
2008-05-04 22:44:00 With groceries and gas and everything else going up and up, we all need to find more ways to save money on everyday items even cat supplies or other things for our pets. One way is to find great places online that will save you time and money if on nothing else the gas to get there to buy these items! Buying online is becoming smarter and safer every day. For instance, even if you are lucky enough to get 25 miles to the gallon in your car, gas is approaching $4 a gallon. So, if your favorite pet store is just 5 miles from your home, it will cost you almost $2 round trip. Sometimes that is for a $3 flea meds. More About: Money , Saving

If you are a business owner or about to be an owner that depends on local traffic and need to look at commercial real estate, then you need to check out places that will keep that cost down as well.

Clearance Goodies
2008-04-22 18:57:00 I found a site that sells things like magnifying glass in the form of reading lamps and such which is really cool by itself. But they also have 6 pages of clearance that is awesome! All kinds of things like books, pillows, slippers, etc. Stuff that I really like because I love reading and writing and being all cozied up. They are called First Street and have things like little lighted, magnifier tweezers and battery LED string lights for less than 5 bucks.

Dress Up Your Car
More articles from this author:2008-04-22 18:37:00 Have you noticed that we all love to dress up what we love. I love dressing me up, love dressing my son up (when he lets me...he's not two anymore and it was hard even then). I'd love to dress my cat up, but she won't let me either. Well, there's always the car. Look around at all the new paint jobs, bumper stickers, and bed liners. Not that these don't have more functions than just to be pretty, but not if you ask my 16 year old son or 16 year old niece. They want something cool. And you gotta love the classy looking Chevy grilles. Wood Dash has a great variety of them and from what I found on their site, looks like ground shipping is FREE. They also have a sale list if you scroll down on the left of their site under the gift certificate banner. Oh, the gift certificates would make a great gift for teens or anyone really who loves their vehicle. More About: Dress 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
