A Puffer Fish,Arothron hispidus is kissing my ...

Image via Wikipedia

I never realized how the homes for sale in Hawaii are not much different than what you can find here, minus the gorgeous views! Despite being a part of the United States they seem so far away like on a little island or something all their own (joke). It's actually one place on my bucket list.

I had a friend that traveled there and had a blast. She learned all about island life and brought back souvenirs for all. The only drag for her was the plane flight. It's one of those places that could make you feel young again or maybe it's just the stress free effect when you're on vacation. I'd take it either way. Have you ever been to Hawaii? Isn't the photo of that puffer fish just divine?! I can't get over the crystal clear water.

I found a Gadget!

>> Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Some of you may remember the cool site Geek Alerts I posted about awhile back that offers news and information on the latest cool Gadgets like McDonald's Fried USB flash drive, strapless Nintendo dress, and geeky stuff like magnetic thinking putty. The most recent I've came across was the worlds largest gummy worm! This gummy worm measures 128 times the size of a regular gummy with different flavors within it and has a 1 year shelf life. How long do you think it would take to eat that?

It's actually a very fun site with lots of entertaining new posts every day. In addition to geek news, they also offer online coupons like Apple Store promo codes, promotion codes like the Orbitz promotion code, and discounts for online stores. All of the coupons that I checked out were very well updated and all current which is nice. No having to flip through a list of expired/unusable coupons to find what you want too! I also found something that I want! It's a snow cone machine that makes carnival style snow cones (two at a time) perfect for this summer heat wave. It's pictured above, isn't it cute?!

If your into tech stuff, quirky gadgets, unique gift items, or collectibles and want to save money doing so then you may want to check it out! Heck even if your not into tech stuff I'm sure you may get a kick out of some of the gadgets they post about for sure! I know I do!

got junk?

>> Monday, July 25, 2011

Ever watch that show Hoarders and see those trucks that come and take all that stuff away from their homes? Some I imagine gets tossed by the looks of it while some I'm sure can be cleaned up and salvaged. I don't know how people can get so overwhelmed with "stuff" that it over takes their lives and home but I can only imagine it started small.

I try to sweep through our house at least once a month or so. Whether it be clothes that no longer fit or simply something we just don't use anymore. I typically donate ours to either Goodwill or other areas in our town unless there is someone particular that I decide to give it to. Last year through the local school they had a jean drive so we were able to let go of quite a bit of jeans that were outgrown.

We are low clutter type people. Not to say that our closets don't get full but we try to limit what lingers. As of right now we have an old washer and dryer in the basement that has to go. While we don't need appliance removal chicago we do need someone to come take it off our hands. Last time we got rid of an appliance we had Habitat for Humanity come pick it up. What do you normally do with things you don't use or need any more?

Got Scrubs?

You know what makes a trip to the dentist more enjoyable than just the sweet staff and small talk? It's what they are wearing! I'm serious as crazy as that sounds the womens scrubs they wear really take my attention else where at least for a bit.

Where I go you will often find them in Ohio State garb which is fun because there's always at least one person who will wear Michigan at the same time! It makes for some very fun conversation as well. If you are in the medical field have you checked out this site yet http://www.blueskyscrubs.com ? They have a lot of fun yet affordable scrubs fit for anyone who wants a little pizazz to their garb. I'm partial to the accessories they carry!

Does your dentist wear anything special or are they more traditional? I'm just happy to have found a dentist that I like and makes sure I'm a okay while I'm sitting in that chair. In all honesty if he and his staff were in their pj's I wouldn't care as long as I don't feel a thing!

Parents and students are invited to submit their own questions for the Master Mind and participate in daily sweepstakes for a chance to win back-to-school must-haves, including popular Master Lock school and campus security products.

3 tips for summer party lighting

Having a summer party and need lighting? I came across a couple of great tips that I thought I'd share.

First of all lights can do so much for the atmosphere especially for an evening party! It can add a lot of pop without costing you an arm and a leg.

10 Plastic Flip Flop Party String Lights Beach Luau

The most important thing to keep in mind is theme. There are many novelty type lights that could convert into your theme easily. One thing to keep in mind when exploring the lighting for a party and really get your money's worth is to find something that can be used on more than one occasion.

Gerson Company Everlasting Glow Flameless Ivory Wax Candles with Drip Effect, Set of 3

If you are entertaining for a more formal occasion battery operated candles are a great option. Their risk of fire is far less than a real candle plus adds a special kind of feel! In addition, you could carry these back into your home and use them whenever you desire. I actually have a couple of these at home and they look and feel just like a real candle.

Hanging Solar Garden Light - Cornet Shaped Solar Light, Solar Tree Lighting, Set of 3 Lights

And last but not least - take into consideration where you party will be. Will there be electrical outlets, an area to hang lights, and will your guests be able to see adequately with the lights you choose?
