It's Okay to Use Dating Websites

Wednesday, July 31, 2013

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

It's a shame that the second we see a commercial for a dating site online, we tend to laugh and crack a joke, but if oyu are single and like most people in their mid 20's...busy and overwhelmed with life, it is certainly okay to embrace the convenience of an online dating site! In the past, I've written about how dating sites give you a huge advantage by matching you up with a similar person in regards to morals, values, personality, etc.

My Happiness Project - July - Buy Some Happiness - COMPLETE!

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.


My Happiness Project for the month of July was to Buy Some Happiness.


Ways I did this were:
1. Find a way to splurge on something yet respect my budget
2.  Buy something I need
3.  Get rid of some things to gain some money to make myself happy
1. Find a way to splurge on something yet respect my budget.
I bought a new handbag, but I also sold 2 of mine to make up for the cost and to make room for the new one!
2.  Buy Something I Need.
I needed a better way to get organized, so I bought a Filofax! And I love it and I use it to keep my life organized.  And instead of buying decoration supplies for it, I get crafty with my own stuff!


3. Get rid of some things to gain some money to make myself happy.
I sold tons of stuff like clothing, etc. on ebay.   Simple as that!
Check back tomorrow for August's Happiness Project which is to Contemplate the Heavens!

How to Wear Teal

Tuesday, July 30, 2013

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

Teal is such a beautiful color and I love how it's become such a big color trend.  I love getting my pedicures done with teal nail polish because I love how it has a bright pop, but yet is subtle enough to go with a lot of things in my wardrobe.  So how do you wear teal and what colors do you wear it with?

Great (& Fun) Products for My Pups!

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.
Recently, I received some fun and useful products for my pups and I wanted to share them with you!

 
Zututh is a toothbrush that is easy to use and effective for your dog.  Dental hygiene is super important and not only does it effect your dog's breath, but gum disease can cause long term problems for your pet!   Zututh is a toothbrush designed specifically to fit the shape of a dog's jaw so that you can clean as much as you can as effectively as possible! I really loved this toothbrush and how easy it was to clean more teeth at once, especially because it's already hard to get my dog's tiny mouths to stay open for more than a few seconds! I also found that this brush was much easier to grip than others I've used before!




The Soggy Doggy Doormat is a MUST HAVE especially if this scenario is familiar to you...You clean your home, and then it rains, and your pooch comes in and either shakes everywhere, or has muddy wet paws and then tracks everything in the house. Sound familiar? Yep, thought so! Well, the Soggy Doggy Doormat is a durable yet soft no-slip mat that you can machine wash and dry in between uses.  It uses each little "noodle" on it to absorb moisture and mess so it doesn't get all over your home!   The noodles are made from millions of textured, ultrafine strands that are woven together.  This is pretty much a microfiber for your pet!!   It soaks up water and dirt just like a sponge!!  And it comes in a variety of colors so you can get the right one to match the colors in your entryway!

HangerJack Review


This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.
The HangerJack is a product that will give you the one thing that you will always need in your home... SPACE! You can hang stuff on almost anything in your house, but it will always end up in the way! So that's why Hanger Jack is an awesome solution for your laundry room (or even your closet depending on how you set it up)!   It's the perfect solution to free up space, keep your clothes up off the ground or off surfaces that can be dirty (or furry if you have lots of pets like I do), and it doesn't require redoing your entire closet or laundry room!  


The HangerJack is mounted onto a wall stud to maximize it's hanging strength and the necessities for installation.  So now it's time to see how I used my HangerJack...

When you hear the word "minimalist" you probably imagine someone walking into a room with one piece of furniture in it...not true.  Minimalism just means a way of life where you don't have more than you need in a wasteful way.   It's not a right or wrong way to live, but I can tell you one thing, minimalism goes hand in hand with budgeting and staying clean and organized! 


There's nothing like a good move to make you realize how much STUFF you have.  ANd I realized that not only were books annoying to pack and transport (That's why I have a Kindle now), but DVDs are just as much of a pain!

Motor Oil Matters Review & *Giveaway* Ends 8/2

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.
Last week I told you about Motor Oil Matters and their Checklist!  I am sick of worrying that I'm getting my car improperly serviced by being taken advantage of at local shops and garages.  So this time, I took the advice from  Motor Oil Matters (MOM) and used their checklist when I got my oil changed from a local shop!   



Here are some of the things I looked for, using the checklist!

1. Is it time for a change?
Yes!!  My car's sensor said it was!

2. Am I getting a full change?
Yep, I asked them to show me the old and the new filter... it's always important to get a NEW filter!    I also made sure they had it securely in place and that all caps under the hood of my car were on securely and tightly! I also asked them to show me the oil they used, and the obliged!

3.  Did I get a receipt?
Yes! It showed what was done, the supplies used, and the price.  I logged it into my Auto Maintenance Log Tracket that I keep in my glove box!


4. Do I know when my next oil change is?
Yep, I ensured that they put  a sticker on my car AND reset my digital oil gauge that tells me when it's time to go for a change!


What a smooth and easy process.  Never again will I have to stress about getting my oil changed in my Civic!

Why I Love Sundresses

Wednesday, July 24, 2013

The hottest style this summer is sundresses. Baring your shoulders, showing a little of your back and flirting around your legs and knees, sundresses are elegant, comfortable and attractive. They are a gorgeous addition to any wardrobe, and they are the perfect choice for all of your ho summer events.

Feel flirty and feminine at your next barbeque by wearing a sundress. Available in casual prints and cool solids, you will love how comfortable you are when the breeze can hit your shoulders and the fabric is swirling around your legs. It’s fun and casual, and a sundress will look great with your chic Roman sandals or even your favorite pair of thong sandals.

Sundresses aren’t just for casual barbeques. If you have a summer wedding to attend, you may want to don a sundress. Choose one with a more formal print that is perfect for the wedding and ideal for dancing at the reception. Dress it up a little with a beautiful necklace and strappy heels that let you show off your beautiful pedicure.

These cool and comfortable outfits aren’t just for special events, either. Sundresses for women at fairwindssarongs.com are available in casual styles that are perfect for wearing around the house or going shopping. 

When you slip on a beautiful sundress, you will feel a little more feminine and far more attractive. They flatter your figure in all of the right places, and the thin straps help you stay comfortable even in the warmest weather. If the temperatures cool off at night, you can always pair the dress with a little jacket or wrap to warm yourself up and still hold on to that feminine feel.

The Simple Reason SNOOPING is Bad for Your Relationship


Many readers have asked the question of if they should look in their boyfriend's cell phone or not.  My answer will always be NO!  There is one golden rule and reason why there is no need to snoop.  

Snooping does nothing.  You gain nothing from it, in fact you will actually lose trust in someone from doing it.   Why?   Because even if you don't find something, you will always find a way to interpret what you do find into something bad.    But ultimately...

Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets Review & *Giveaway* Ends 7/29

Monday, July 22, 2013

Purex provided me with a sample of Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets in exchange for a product review.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my own. . Read my Disclosure Policy.

When you think of fabric softener sheets I bet you only think of using them in the dryer, right?  They have great benefits for that since they can be used to repel lint which absolutely frustrates me when I'm getting ready for work and have to take clothes out of the dryer and they have lint on them!  Also, they can be used to repel pet hair, which I am grateful for since I have 4 dogs of my own!  And finally, you can use them to reduce static cling, which comes in handy for bedsheets especially!

But did you ever think to use Purex fabric softener dryer sheets outside of your dryer?    I did!!!    I use them in my dresser drawers to keep everything smelling nice and fresh!

Ozeri WeightMaster Digital Bathroom Scale, with MICROBAN® Antimicrobial Product Protection

Friday, July 19, 2013


I have really been in need of a new scale lately so I was thrilled to learn of the Ozeri WeightMaster Digital Bathroom Scale with MICROBAN Antimicrobial Protection!  That basically means, that unlike regular scales,  don't have to worry about stinky feet and bathroom germs causing bacteria and odor as they grow on the scale.   The Microban protection on the Ozeri scale immediately begins to disrupt the cell functions so that the bacteria can't reproduce and grow on the surface! 

It also uses advanced weight measurement technology with 4 of the latest generation G sensors to accurately capture weights in increments of .2 pounds of .1 kilograms.  The big blue backlit LCD is easy to read even in the dark!  I love it and I even included a photo below of what it looks like! This scale's slip resistant and has impact-resistant tempered glass on the inside.  It gives a measurement so quickly!   ANd it automatically turns off so it conserves battery power (runs on 3 AAA batteries!) 



I seriously love this scale! It's so lightweight so it's easy for me to pick up, transfer, and to use in different rooms! I love the sleek design and the slip-resistant surface.  Also, I have to say that this scale is accurate with the Doctor's scale which is always right!  
This is a must have if you are watching your weight or just trying to stay healthy!
