My Fab 5 Moving Tips

There are many reasons for moving, whether it is to be closer to family, a new job or just a change.  Moving into a new home is sometimes exciting and fun, but also requires a lot of energy and hard work. We have been preparing to put our house up for sale and it definitely is a challenging task, especially since there is a lot clutter I didn't even know I had! Here are the 5 moving tips I have come up with since preparing for this move. Moving Tip #1: De-clutter as soon as you consider moving. It is probably a good idea to do this regardless of whether or not you are moving. :) It's really amazing how nice and refreshing it is once your house is clutter free. Have a garage sale or donate any of the things that you no longer want to keep. Moving Tip #2: Pre-pack, by packing up anything that you definitely want to keep, but don't use. For me, it was mostly little knick knacks that friends and family had given me through the years. A...

Straight Talk- Saving Money on Your Cell Phone Bill

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark . All opinions are 100% mine. <iframe width="560" height="345" src=" http://www.youtube.com/embed/n_ecrdY2MLA " frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> In the past , out of all the bills I was paying each month, my cellular phone bill seemed to be the one that was most wasteful. I didn’t feel as though I was getting much value out of it. With Straight talk, there seems to be more money left over and much better value since their unlimited monthly plans are only $45 per month and include calls, text messaging, picture messaging and web. With that price, you can easily call a friend   without worrying about how much it will cost. Compared to the $99 per month that I currently pay for the same services with a contract, that is a huge savings!  Also, there aren’t any activation, reactivation or termination fees. With Straight Talk, you can get every...

Women's Express Jeans: So Many Styles!

This post brought to you by Express . All opinions are 100% mine. When I was a teenager, it was either flare jeans, wide leg jeans, OR fitted jeans were in style. Today, any style goes as long as they look good on. Speaking of a variety of styles, Express jeans  are available in Jean leggings, Flare jeans, Wide leg jeans and even colored jeans! Finding the right pair of women's jeans  has never been easier. I love every style of jeans and choose which pair to wear according to my mood. The dark flare jeans bring back memories as I still have an old pair.........they just don't fit me anymore so I definitely need to buy myself a new pair. That is, if I don't win a pair from the Express giveaway ! White jeans have also been one of my long time favorites and I usually pair them with a classic black top or a pretty and fun colorful top. Express is giving away 50 free pairs of jeans and if you would lik...

Save Time and Money Using CouponChief

$$$ When I was a child, I remember sitting at the kitchen table clipping coupons with my mom before going out to the grocery store. Times have changed significantly, but the importance of saving money remains much the same. Nowadays, it is so much easier to find ways to save money, not only at the grocery store, but practically everywhere you shop. My mom and I still like to find coupons while sitting at the kitchen table, but I now have a little girl of my own and we all search for them online instead of from local flyers. Since I love the convenience of shopping online and I never complete my purchase without looking for a coupon code first, CouponChief.com  has become my go to website for all things coupon related. It is so easy to navigate through, and there are over 50000 coupons for over 15000 stores. That's a lot of coupons! From food to clothing, electronics and even postage, the savings are virtually endless. They even have a video t...
