YouTube.com

My best friend always finds the funniest and the best videos to send my way to make me smile. She is one of the most up lifting and happiest people that I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. We’ve known each other since 4th grade and wouldn’t know what to do without the other one if we had to.

Anyway she was telling me about this video and then she sent it to me. It was funny enough to post here, hope it makes you smile today!

I Like FREE!

I’ve known several people that sign up with various sites that offer all types of Free Stuff, which is something that I’ve never really gotten into. I am an avid coupon user and I take advantage of numerous rebates, which can really add up, and I certainly like the sound of “Freebie” so I’ve looked around a bit and found thefreebiesource.com which is a really cool site that links you up with other sites that offer Freebies, discounts, samples, promotion codes, coupons and the like and I thought that I would spread the word about this site here today.

I do enjoy finding a good deal or stumbling onto a really good customer service representative (live or on the phone) these days there is a lot to complain about, and rightfully so, so the good things are so much more positive and don’t drain and suck me dry of all thoughts and concentration. I’ve always thought that if we all just did one good deed or be a good samaritan each day the world would be a much nicer and brighter place for everyone. Telling people where to go to get free stuff is my good deed for the day.

Become.com is Becoming

I’ve never been much on worrying about brand names. I know what I like and what I don’t like, a name attached to something doesn’t make it or break it for me. My sister on the other hand is crazy about things like that. Right now she is re doing her master bedroom and master bathroom and has fallen in love with the Candice Olson furniture that she has found online. She is quite good in finding great deals online and has found a cool website called become.com that brings power shopping to your finger tips with price comparison and  product reviews, which is a great product shopping and research tool for online shoppers that are becoming more and more popular each year.

She found become.com when she was pregnant and was looking for the best baby related products that she could find while waiting at home, on bed rest for the last 2 months of her pregnancy. She had twins and it was hard on her then and still hard on her now three years later and she still has 15 years to go. LOL

I’ve used become.com a few times myself. I found some great women’s jewelry by using their search engines. I usually buy most of my costume jewelry at the thrift stores or the local flea markets. But when I find a company that has low prices and has free shipping I’ll keep buying online and not deal with crowds at these various markets.

Less Can Be More

My best friend is very pleased with her new make up products that she ordered online. They are the Bare Escentuals Products that I have seen advertised on TV in the middle of the night from time to time. See says that you only have to use the bare minimum and that it is good for your skin. You can even sleep with it on and it doesn’t mess up your skin like other heavy make up does.

I’m thinking next time I have a few extra bucks that I’ll check into as well. I’m sick of my make up regiment and am due for a change.

 

Security Equipment

My Dad is so upset due to watching so many news programs day in and day out. He sees all of the really bad and negative stuff that is blasted on the boob tube and he really gets stressed out, bless his heart. I wish that he would watch more comedy programs and bring some laughter into his life. His major concern right now is all of the home break ins that are on the increase. So many people are getting desperate for money that they are turning to crime in order to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. And that isn’t even touching the drug problems that many people now have because of all of the issues with our lovely economy.

Dad wants me to look into one of the ADT security systems that he has been reading about. There are many homes that are now sporting one of ADT’s yard signs indicating that they have a security system installed for their protection. He thinks that I should have a top notch security video camera for my safety, while I think a big dog would probably do the job just as well.

He has just now sent me the link that talks about their backup battery and equipment guide so that I can become familiar with the products and their current promotions. I know his intentions are good and I love him for it, so I will look it over and see what it is all about and report back to him as soon as possible. I gotta keep my Dad happy. He is the only one that I have.
