Have a garden no matter where you are
I use to live in a small apartment and when I am able to move out of my parents home I will be in another small apartment. I’m trying to eat better but with the price of everything going up it seems that I won’t be able to afford it. Right now I can have a garden but in an apartment that is hard.
A friend of mine just got an AeroGarden and she loves it. I was thinking that would be a great way to get some good healthy food without paying extra for it to be shipped and I can have it in an apartment. I plan on getting one soon, maybe with that government rebate. My friend really recommends it for anyone who lives in an apartment or just doesn’t like to garden. Right now you can try the AeroGarden® FREE for 36 Days!
. Check it out and when I get mine I will do a real review on it.
Stainless steal soap
The other day I got in the mail an interesting product. It was stainless steal soap. It was very strange as I wasn’t sure what it was for. When I opened up the package all I had was a piece of stainless steal in the shape of a soap bar and the plastic holder. Then I read the box and loved the idea.
What this stainless steal soap does is it helps to remove odors from your hands. I tested it out by making an omelet with onions, potatoes and mushrooms. I also used some olive oil to fry up the potatoes a little. Now if you have ever cooked with oil you know it can leave a smell on your hands, so I first tried this soup with just my hands having been over the oil. It took away the smell and I was impressed. Then I chopped up the onion and of course my hands smelled horrible so I used it again and it worked. I love this product. It really is a great find.
My rating of this product
10/10
I may be late on this but it’s still cool
I was looking though amazon.com today and I found a cool device called Kindle. I thought this is an awesome way to read a book. Then I saw all of the things they have for it at the Kindle store
and I was hooked.
I don’t have the money to buy one right now, but maybe I can talk someone into getting me one for Christmas. I know a long way away, but that’s my only shot right now.
Finding Love
So many people are getting into the online dating thing. I have done it a few times and it’s been okay but I don’t think it’s for me. One site I did use a lot was Chemistry.com. They do a great job in matching you with people and have a good selection of people. It seems there are people on there that are not on other sites. They also don’t reject as many people as other sites do.
I have met 2 people from that site and a friend of mine has met 5 and is marrying the last one, so I think they area good choice if your looking for love. They do charge a fee to talk to people, but it is a great deal and worth the price
My new MP3 player
A few weeks ago I bought the XO vision mp3 player from walmart.com. At first I was very annoyed with it. The instructions sucked and it was hard to figure out. The good news is after rereading the instructions I was able to get everything to work. I did have to not do a step, they wanted me to do everything though there download service but it wouldn’t work on my computer. I did it without the service and it worked well.
The player cost me a total of $40 and is actually worth it. Not only is it an Mp3 player but it’s a voice recorder, fm radio and more. The bad part about it is you have to use it like a CD player, you cant just browse the songs and pick one. You have to go through each song and search. You can separate different types of songs into folders so thats nice. I haven’t done it yet as I just haven’t had time.
My rating of this Mp3 player
8/10
Good buy for the money
Watch movies and never leave home
I am sure many of you have heard of the Blockbuster Online Program, but I find that many people don’t want to try it out. I have been using it for a few months after switching from netflix. I like the selection and the prices much better at blockbuster and if I want I can take my movies back to the store and get a new one. For me it’s a half hour drive to do so, but if I’m out that way anyway it’s a nice choice to have. It really comes in handy with my little brother who doesn’t plan things well, so he’s always asking me to rent a movie the day before he needs it or the day of. Not a good thing.
Once I start school up again I’m going to see if I can rent them at the store near my school. That way I don’t have to make a trip out just to exchange. This will help with the brother issue I think. I only get a few exchanges per month, but it’s better then none. The only problem I have noticed with Blockbuster is that sometimes it takes 4 or 5 days to get the movies. That includes the time to send the one you already have back. This may be a post office issue though.
Get ready for your home improvement project
I love home design software it’s usually very easy to use and is a lot of fun. I love the Punch series of software. They have a new one out the New Punch! Landscape, Deck and Patio Designer. It is the most amazing program. I got a chance to check it out the other day and I love the graphics and the ease of use. It’s a great program to help you plan out your yard or other landscape project.
Makeing changes
I wanted to start this blog as a way to find some good deals while shopping online. Unfortunatly I had bought the domain and then things came up so I couldn’t do what I wanted. I’ve been slowly working on it since then. Hopfully I will be able to do a lot more soon.
I will be adding new pages and doing product reviews. I have two lined up for this comming week so keep an eye out for those.

Get Cheep Jewelry and More
I know many women right now are looking for ways to save money on everything they buy. If you check out one of my favorite sites Bidz.com you can get expensive high quality jewelry at very good prices, they also offer other things like eye wear and fine art. It’s a bid style site and it can be hard, but it’s also addictive. Sign up is easy and they take paypal and credit.
I tried them out for the first time last year and I loved the ring I got. unfortunately 3 months later I lost the ring and still have not found it, but that made me go back to find something else. Since then I have bought 2 necklaces and a pair of earrings. The jewelry was beautiful and most of it came with a certificate of authenticity. This is really a wonderful site where you can get a really great deal on some wonderful jewelry and more.
