I love shopping for home decor and home improvement online, mostly because the closest home improvement store is about 40 minutes away and also because you can find such great deals online. I also like that many times you can get deals on shipping making it very worth your effort if you have to drive to a local store like me. I’ve actually saved a lot of money by just ordering online.

When it comes to home decor and improvement I think that bathroom suites are a great things to buy online as you can look at so many different types of bathroom set ups. It’s fun to shop around and figure out what may look amazing in your bathroom. I have found things like shower heads, bathtubs and heated mirrors that are just not available locally.

I also love that I can just shop right from home and you don’t have to worry about some sales person trying to sell you something you just don’t need. I know that can be really annoying when you know what you want and are just in the store to get it. Personally as long as you get your measurements right, most of the time buying online is a great way to save money and keep yourself from dealing with annoying people.

I love new shoes and I’m sure you do too. Now if your a really savey shopper like I am you will find a way to pay for those new shoes. Well in case you have not figured this out yet, let me share a really cool site with you called If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit. It’s a site that allows you to trade, sell and buy shoes. I love it because there are a ton of great shoes out there and I can get rid of the one’s I don’t wear anymore because I either don’t like them or they don’t fit right.

I am actually planning on putting a pair of my own shoes up for sale, but I can’t find them right now as they are in a yard sale box somewhere in my house. There great shoes too, Size 10 Skeetchers sandals, be on the lookout for them on the site as I will find them and get them out of my house. Nothing wrong with them, just the wrong size for my feet. I have been checking out some of the really awesome shoes they do have and I found a pair of boots I must have!

What about you do you have shoes you would like to get rid of?

There are so many products out there that are designed to help us lose inches from our bodies. Some require a lot of space others a lot of time, some claim that they work better then others and some say they are time savers. Some actually work very well while others sit in our basements collecting dust because they either didn’t work or were too difficult to use.

I love the fitness equipment that allows you to do other things while using it. Like the Belly Burner, a belt that allows you to do really anything while you burn away the pounds. It works by boosting your body temperature, a pretty cool idea and if it works I would be all for wearing that belt around wherever I go.

I’m lazy and I’m sure many of you are too. I think that is why people invent things like the Belly Burner, so that we can be our lazy self’s and still lose weight, tone or accomplish whatever goal we are trying to reach. With winter coming I’m sure many of you are not thinking of fitness, but if you could wear something like the Belly Burner and lose weight in the winter wouldn’t you want to?

Sometimes fitness can just be too much. We all deal with it, you think I’m going to get up and run today or I’m going to the gym, really I am, but the day goes by and you haven’t taken that run and you’re no where near a gym. Well how about checking out this cool looking Ab Flyer, a fitness device that is designed to target your abs so that you can get the lean look you want without a huge hassle. It also helps to reduce stress on your neck, shoulders and back.

Doesn’t this look fun? Really it’s like a swing for adults. Okay so a swing is a little easier, but the point is to tone up and look good, not spin around in circles until you’re dizzy and fall off the swing. I know I’m not the only kid that did that!

This does kind of remind me of something fun so I think I would be able to keep this up at home. What do you think, have you tried one of these before? How did you like it, and did it work for you?

I love making money and I think the easiest way that I have made money so far is by selling some of my stuff when I wasn’t planning on selling it. There is an even easier way to make money though if you have an iPhone, Android or Blackberry. The service called WeReward is a great way to not only make some extra cash for yourself, but if you own a business it’s a great way to use local marketing to increase your customer base.

Some places offer just a few points for stopping in, others offer as much as 500 points to check in. Each point is worth a penny so thats $5 in your pocket just for doing something you already do. There are a ton of places you can check out too. There current featured place is Diminos Pizza and they are adding more all of the time.

It’s really easy to check in or do task. Your account is linked to your Facebook, twitter or foursquare account. You just post where your at using the application, it post to your linked account and once someone has verified that you have done everything correctly you get your points. Once you reach 1000 points you can cash out, that’s $10 by the way. How cool and easy is that.

Once again charter is doing an amazing giveaway this time it’s for laptops and not just one person is going to win but a school could win 50 new laptops in their laptop-a-day giveaway, the laptops are pretty cool they are Lenovo G555′s with a 15.6″ screen, 160GB drive and 3GB ram and come with a Targu bag. Of course you can also enter to win one for yourself if your not a student or are just greedy, like me. Hey, theirs nothing wrong with wanting a laptop of your own, it’s normal and at least I will admit I’m greedy!

How it works

• Ordering any Charter service automatically gives you a chance to win and get up to $300 cash back. You can also register online with no purchase necessary.
• Parents and others to nominate their local schools and encourage their friends to vote for their school to win the 50 laptops.
• Schools need to be nominated by Aug. 12. There is a short nomination process
• 50 finalists will be chosen by Charter (based on the nomination stories submitted) and announce them on Aug. 16
• Open voting occurs between Aug. 16 and Sept. 20 and Charter will announce the two winning schools on Sept. 27th.

I’m going to be nominating our local school as it’s such a small school that 50 laptops would go a long way and we all know small town schools don’t get much when it comes to funding. I’m sure they would love to win a few laptops. I’m also going to talk to many people I know about nominating a school in the area, these kids deserve something nice that will help them in the real world.

I love buying shoes, I know I have said this before, but really I do and when I can buy shoes that may just make me look and feel better I’m all over it. I have been wanting to buy a pair of the sculpting shoes for a while now, though I haven’t had the extra to do so I still keep looking trying to find a deal and a nice looking shoe. Now I’m not just looking for a sneaker or running type toning shoe, but sandals and everyday shoes that I would be more likely to walk in. I love summer just because I can wear sandals and if I can tone and have fun at the same time, even better.

If course if your a women like me, you don’t just want any old shoe, even if it will help you tone up. You want one that’s stylish and will fit your lifestyle, personality and needs. I know there are some big brand names out there that have a great tone up shoes- Sketchers, Reebok, etc, but the one’s that I’ve come across pretty much all look the same.

Now with MBT’s line of toning shoes you can get something a little different. I love that the sandals do not all have a toe thing on them. You know that strap that goes between your toes. I hate those things! So already MBT has my vote. The shoes run a little on the pricey side but after some searching I found a decent sale on footwearetc.com on pretty much their entire selection of MBT shoes- with some marked as low as 60% off the original price. They also have some great looking sandals for summer and even boots for winter that will help you tone up and feel your best. I’m thinking I may need to start saving for both the boots and the sandals soon.

What do you think of these hot new shoes, would you try them?

I love my car, well when it’s running anyway and if I could I would really love to make my car look amazing. I would get new headlights, but not just any headlights custom headlights. Why, I know that’s the question you have as normally I’m all about saving money, but I live in the middle of nowhere and I want headlights that work, look good and are bright enough for me to actually see whats in front of me. Really I’d be doing myself a favor by investing in custom lights.

How about you, how much would you spend on headlights for your car? Are you a car fanatic or see your car as just a way to get from point A to point B?

I love using video chat and phone. It’s just better as you can see the facial expressions of the people on the other end. Sometimes when your talking to someone you can’t tell if they are kidding or not. Sometimes they are and you just don’t get it and other times they are not and you think they are. Also when it comes to business it’s always better to see who you are talking to and to have them see you.

The downside to video conferences is that the quality of the video can really suck. You sometimes have to deal with grainy video or webcams that can’t get the whole picture. If your talking to more then one person you want something that is going to show them all in their best light and allow the viewer to see them individually as well. If your looking for something like this you may want to check out faceVsion a company that makes skype certified webcams. Yes, they are skype certified that pretty much means they work well with the program and hopefully will give you a quality picture. You can check out the faceVision on line store and find a webcam that works for your needs pretty easily.

I myself checked out the FV touchcam N1 and the FV ExpressCombo the FV touchcam is the first internet streaming HD webcam so I thought that was interesting and something that may be a great investment. According to faceVsion most HD webcams on the market can not stream in HD, they can only use it locally. I thought that was something that really should matter when buying a webcam.

What about you? Do you use skype? How do you feel about the webcam you use?

Do you love shoes? I do now, though I use to think that having a love of shoes was just really weird. I have since changed my mind as apparently shoes are a great way to express yourself and of course spend all of your money, or is it? If your like me you probably have a bunch of shoes sitting around that you don’t wear, maybe you bought them for a wedding and then didn’t go or maybe you went and just never wore them again. Well now there is something you can do with those shoes, you can trade them! Yes, you can now Sell, Swap, or Shop for Shoes though a new auction website called If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit.

If the shoe doesn’t fit is really a very cool website, if you want to buy shoes, you can buy them. If you want to sell your shoes you can sell them and make some extra cash to buy more shoes, or if you want to skip the cash part you can swap shoes with other people. This interest me as I have a few shoes that I just don’t wear, but who knows maybe someone would love them and they would have shoes I love too! It’s really a very cool idea, as so many people just don’t have money right now, but a lot of women, and some men have tons of shoes they could trade.

Now, there is a $1 fee to list your shoes but thats not a big deal, right? If you have a lot of shoes you may want to look into a store. The price to start a store is $15 a month and it may be worth it if you have a lot of shoes you need to get rid of. Either way at least you can get shoes you love and get rid of ones you hate.

I love swagbucks. I have made about 500 swag bucks with them so far. It’s a good amount and I’m looking forward to cashing in soon. If you didn’t already know Swag bucks has a great Mega swag buck Friday promotion where you can get extra swag bucks.

I search a lot on Fridays for this reason so if you have not signed up you should and start searching. If you are already a member go search, what are you doing reading this!
