Saving Money and Energy with your Computer - Come Weigh In!



Okay, so here is the question for all of you.  How do you save energy (which = $$) when it comes to your computer?  I am on mine a lot!  I often wonder exactly how much energy I am really using and how much I am wasting.  Here's what I do, and I think it helps especially if you are on and off it all day. I go under my Windows Start settings and instead of "shutting off" I click "stand by".  It sort of goes into hibernation mode, which you can also do in your settings.  I have mixed feelings about completely shutting it down when it's used off and on during the day.  For instance in my opinion it seems like it would cost more to power it up and power it down than it would to just let it sleep for a bit.  It would still be using energy but way less.  What do you think? 
Until recently it never occurred to me to think about shutting down the monitor.  Because truth be told I actually never shut it off even when my computer is off.  Seems a bit weird I guess, but indeed I'm sure it's pulling power too.  Some computers even have money saving features built right in under power options in your control panel.  I am by no expert on this but I'd like for you to weigh in if you have a suggestion or idea to bounce around.

No Deer Here Anymore

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Deer Off. All opinions are 100% mine.


As much as I love deer, I do know firsthand how much damage they can cause a garden.  When I lived in NC we planted a small garden.  We had corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, and many other things.  I am telling the truth when I say we didn't eat anything from it.  The deer and other animals did though.  Being amateurs to gardening we really had no idea what we were getting into.  Not only that but deer also attract ticks which I had to go to the doctor for.  I found one on my back and when we tried to remove it the legs still stuck in my skin.  I had to get them removed by the doctor and get tested for Lyme and other diseases since the area where the tick was had gotten red and inflamed.  I turned out okay but, I guess it was total trial and error.  At the time I wish I had known about Deer Off!  Deer Off is a repellent for deer, rabbits and squirrels.  Not to worry though, it doesn't hurt them it simply keeps them at bay from where you would like them not to visit.  The deer repellent prevents these issues by using natural ingredients that the animals do not like to smell or taste such as garlic, egg and others.  What's great about Deer Off is that it's a battery-powered sprayer so your hand won't get tired with the squirting especially when treating larger yards.  Being an animal lover, it's especially important to me that it's organic.  I like that it's made from natural and organic ingredients.  Plus, it keeps the garden more pure.  I certainly don't want a bunch of chemicals on my fresh food which defeats half the purpose of gardening in the first place!

Mineral Basics Review and Giveaway!!!

>> Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Retail Site
Are you a chicka that loves make up like me?!  If you do, you have to check out Mineral Basics!  For starters, you have really never worn light, versatile make up until you've tried Mineral Basics.  I had the opportunity to review 15 of their mineral powder samples mainly ranging from eye shadows to blushes.  I am in love, I tell you.  See my first experience with mineral powder was a few years ago with a powder/foundation all in one.  I was really impressed with the flawless effect it gave on my skin.  Well, that was some years ago and I really must not have been hip on the make up scene because I had no idea that they made mineral powder in other forms of make up!  How about you?
( The hot samples I recieved)
What I love most about the Mineral Basics line is:

#1 How versatile they are.  I had no idea that I could literally use an eyeshadow as a blush. Really!  These shades (which you have to check out)  are awesome.  They even have colors that change for day and night, right on your face!  So, you can literally go from office to a dinner date and not have to do a thing!

#2 Mineral Basics feels so light on your skin.   When you apply the powders it's like silk right across your skin and you can't tell your even wearing make up.  Even better is after a whole day of wearing the eye shadows and going about a regular routine is that they don't cake up on you like others do.

 #3 Mineral Basics is that it's made to work with most any skin type.  In the winter my skin is dry but in the summer it gets oily.  This make up is designed to work with most anyone's skin type to beautify and help you feel gorgeous about your flaws no matter what your skin is like.


(Cutie Pouch the samples came in!)
Fun Facts!!
Mineral Basics began in 2004 as a means to provide all natural cosmetics to people with all skin types and tones across the globe. 
To read more about Mineral Basics and how it got started simply visit their "about" page here.


Buy It!!
Visit Mineral Basics  Retail Site and get your glow on!  They have gift sets (perfect for Mother's Day), soap, microdermabrasion, brushes, lip products and lots more.  They have a specials page here where you can snag some great items at a hot price! PLUS - YOU GET A FREEBIE ITEM! Limit One Per Customer. Min Order $20

The $20 gift certificate can be used towards any purchase. For example, if you pick an item that is $12.00 and then plus shipping (which you can calculate as soon as you add the item to your shopping cart), it comes to $17.50, then you can use the $20 gift certificate towards the purchase. If the item of your choice comes to an amount over $20 once shipping is included, you can still purchase the item but you would just have to pay the remaining amount out-of-pocket.

This is simply a fun giveaway for my readers.  I received no compensation and the opinions expressed here are my own.

Kohl's Shopping Trip On The House!!!

>> Sunday, April 25, 2010


I was pleasantly surprised when I checked my mail this week to find a FREE $10 shopping coupon from Kohls good toward EVERYTHING in the store!  I actually get one of these about every season.  It just comes at random and usually when there is a sale of some sort going on.


I will start off by saying that they have a huge clearance going on and everything I snagged was between 80-90% OFF.   Now some of the items are out of season, but I'm not complaining.  Who couldn't use an extra beanie to keep warm, right?
Items snagged on the house:
Croft and Barrow Beanie - $20.00 clearanced 90% @ $2.00
Simply Vera Beanie - $25.00 cleaanced 90% @ $2.50
Apt 9 tights X 2 - $10.00 clearanced 80% @ $2.00 each
So Knit Top - $20.00 clearanced 90% @ $2.00

Total $10.50 Used the coupon ;) - Out of pocket .50 cents (+ tax)!!

At this point I had the "bug"  for sure.  I decided to nab a few more things still keeping all at 80-90% off.  I am a sucker for a sale ;)  I even fell to my demise with a pair of shoes....sigh.  But they were on clearance too;).  Anyways, here is the bottom of my receipt with my total savings!!!!!!!
$201.20
