This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zubie for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I remember how excited it was to get my first car. It was a red Plymouth Neon with the Espresso trim package. I was ready to take off and go wherever. However, I was unprepared to deal with all the expenses that come with car ownership. Over the time that I owned that car, I had to replace speakers, change oil, replace the sparkplug housing (which led to my sparkplugs constantly blowing apart due to an error by the mechanic), and other sorts of maintenance. As a college student at the time, it was failry expensive for me, but doable. My current vehicle, a ’96 4RUNNER, tends to be a pain in the butt. The previous owner put over 150,000 miles on it and didn’t once take care of it. We’ve put a lot of time and money into it, and there are still issues with it. Primarily, the sunroof leaks. I learned that you have to blow the lines out periodically to keep them from getting ...
FluNada Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
A few weeks ago, I was sent two boxes of FluNada. FluNada is a homeopathic throat and nasal spray formulated to provide relief from cold and flu-like symptoms. It has a blend of safe and natural ingredients and provides relief from multiple systems, including runny/blocked nose, sore throat, cough, and body aches & pains. One bottle is 0.66 ounces, gives you about 40 doses of 5 sprays each, and is safe for ages 4 and up. To use, you spray the product three times in your mouth, and once in each nostril. I don’t have the best track record with throat sprays, so I used it just as a nasal spray. Our weather has been all over the place lately, so I’ve been having issues with my sinuses…even with my prescription. I started using it as soon as I started getting congested, and after a few days I was fine. My husband has also been using it off and on as well to help head off getting sick from work. He normally gets sick at least twice during the holiday season and so far he ...
Milestones, Losses, and Moving Forward
I've been trying to get this written out for days now and I just haven't been able too. A lot has happened this year, mostly withing the last few weeks, and I just haven't felt like doing much of anything. But it's already two weeks into the new year, so it's time to get out of my funk and get back into the thick of things. I know that this is going to be a bit choppy, but I've been writing bits and pieces of it out over the past week or so. Milestones This year has been a lot of fun as far as milestones with our daughter. We managed potty training...somehow with help from grandma and a very large bag of gummy bears. She has also learned just about every three letter word she could possibly need to know for kindergarten and is now blasting through 4 and 5 letter works. She is also writing a heck of a lot better than I ever did when I firs started school. All in all, she is at the level of a 5 or 6 year old, aside from reading. I know that she can read, she just pretends ...
Guest Article – Yorkshire Puddings
This Christmas we’ve decided to celebrate following the recipes of traditional English cuisine. However, nothing passed through my mind except turkey, fried or boiled vegetables or pies. What to cook for an English Christmas for a company of 12-14 people? Occasionally came across a funny Aunt Bessie’s advert - and here you go! A perfect Christmas dish for a large and noisy company is ready!

The Tmart Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
Last week, I was sent a USB 3.0 High-Speed 4-Port Switch Hub from Tmart. Tmart offers a wide selection of products ranging from electronics, cosplay wigs, all at low prices. The USB Hub I selected is compatible with all USB ports and is available in white and black. I was very excited to try out the Hub, since I always seem to be short USB ports. My speakers, printer & smaller Hub take up the ones on the back of my PC. I have two others on the side of my tower, but they are used by my MagicJack. I have two free ports on my smaller (and very old) hub, by they get used up when working on book cover commissions and stock shoots. My laptop, on the other hand, only has two ports so I’m totally out of luck if I have to plug in my portable CD drive (it uses both). The Hub from Tmart is pretty neat. Each of its 4 ports has a power switch and indicator lights. It also comes with a good sized USB cord so that it reaches a pretty good way. There is also a small light on the ...
