Remodel With Style

If you have been living in your home for quite some time, you may feel your bathroom needs updating, especially if you haven’t changed a thing since moving in. Do you still have the standard, boring white bathroom sinks, tub and toilet?

The bathroom is the most used room in the house. Changes to your bathroom can range from small remodeling projects to larger projects depending on your budget. Remodeling the bathroom will add value to your home, so if your thinking of selling and haven’t modernized the bathroom, this may be a project for you to think about. Will you see a return on your remodeling investment when you sell? You most likely will….it is said to be around 80-90% !

You can dress up your bathroom with small projects such as replacing Bathroom vanities or installing the perfect faucet. Replacing your old, outdated bathroom faucets will certainly be more pleasing to the eye and bring about change in the room. This is also a great do it yourself project and you will surely feel a sense of pride when the task is completed.

The Benefits of the Acai Berry

If you are not familiar with the acai berry, it is known to increase energy, stamina, vitality and promote overall well being. It also is high in antioxidants and helps fight premature aging.
It contains fatty acids and omegas, which helps lowers harmful cholesterol and sterols that helps in the reduction of blood plasma cholesterol. The acai berry is also an excellant source of dietary fiber.

I had posted a three part series about the acai berry and it's benefits on my blog: Mind,Body & Soul back in March.

The acai berry grows on palm trees in the amazon rain forest. They are considered to be the most nutritious and edible berry on the planet. The berries are dark purple and about the size of a blueberry with a thin layer of edible pulp surrounding a large seed.

I found that at the Total Health Shop, they provide not only the best price, but their unique blend of juice provides the best benefits. In their acai berry juice, you will also find additional ingredients.

See below:

Pomegranate Juice Concentrate
~ Helps maintain a healthy heart
~ Has naturally occurring high levels of ellagic acid
~ Helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels
~ Helps to maintain healthy blood pressure
~ Helps to alleviate symptoms commonly associated with menopause
~ Pomegranate is a natural astrigent and is high in both Vitamin C and Iron

Raspberry Juice Concentrate
~ Helps to rid the body of phlegm
~ Strengthens and vitalizes blood circulation
~ Natural source of ellagic acid which can help protect against cell damage
~ Raspberries are rich in antioxidants; both phytonutrients and vitamin compounds

Blueberry Juice Concentrate

~ Contains powerful, active antioxidant compounds which combat free radicals and help protect against cell damage
~Helps maintain Heart Health
~Helps maintain healthy Kidney and Urinary Tract function
~ Blueberries can help to prevent premature aging
~ Blueberries have anti-inflammatory properties

Essential Vitamins and Minerals: B1, B2, B3, C & E, Calcium and Potassium.

Essential Fatty Acids: (Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9). These polyunsaturated essential fatty acids help lower LDL (harmful cholesterol) while maintaining HDL (beneficial cholesterol). This unique ratio resembles the same combination as olive oil. Omega fatty acids can increase healthy cell development. Omega fatty acids are essential for healthy nervous system development and regeneration. They help rapidly repair and rejuvenate muscles after intense exercise. Essential fatty acids (Omega-3 in particular) help the brain to run smoothly.

Real Or Not? Zenni Optical

I have in the past presented a post on ZenniOptical.com. This is an online optical site where you can purchase from a wide range of fashion frames and have your prescription filled that you received from your eye doctor. The cost for a complete set of eyeglasses start at $8.00. This company has no middlemen. They manufacture their own lenses and sell direct to the customer.

Recently Fox News ran a story on Zenni Optical called 'Deal or Dud?'. Their own reporter gives a presentation from start to finish when buying a pair of glasses on their site.

Passing a Great Find To You

I'm still recuperating from illness, so being home and not being able to go out and shop has left me to do all my shopping online. I have to say it is a great convenience and I have been finding all kinds of great offers and bargains. This might become a habit and I may never go to the mall again!

I've been looking to replace my eye glass frames and also looking for a great pair of sunglasses.I decided on prescription sunglasses to give my eyes a break from wearing contact lenses all the time. I found this company that is offering an unbelievable $ 8 Zenni Optical Rx Eyeglasses . Knowing the prices of a new pair of lenses and frames, I had to look into this further to see if it was true.

What I found is that at http://www.ZenniOptical.com all complete glasses come with Thin and Light 1.57 index lens, Anti Scratch Coating, Full UV Protection, Lens edge polishing and beveling, Quality Hard Eyeglass case, Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth and a Full Guarantee. Their inventory consists of rimless, half rim, full rim and variable dimension frames for women, men and even children. Their shipping is a flat $4.95 no matter how many pair of glasses you order.

I learned that ZenniOptical manufactures their own frames, so this is why they are able to sell direct to the customer. With really no overhead or middlemen, they pass on these great savings to their customers.

I thought it would be hard to order lenses online, but I found the ordering process was easy. You chose your lens and there is a very detailed page to help you with the rest of your order. It was a snap and I can't believe I will be now able to get new lenses without spending a few hundred dollars.

Check it out.

Comparison Shopping Saves Money

I recently needed to purchase a birthday gift and as usual, I did my shopping comparison before deciding where exactly to purchase the item. I decided on an electronics product and I searched until I arrived at a price that was to my liking.

I was able to save $79 for the same product other online sites were selling the item for. That is a nice chunk of change!

One comparison site is Digxa (dig for the best price). This site offers comparison shopping on home and garden products, electronics, computers, clothes, kids toys, jewelry and so much more.

Once you find the product you want to find the lowest price for, you click on the item. This will then bring you to a page where you will find all the online store listings. You can sort though these listings by product reviews or price. It will indicate a price range, product reviews and the number of stores selling the item you are interested in.

I suggest when looking to do a little online shopping to do your comparison pricing before you buy the first product you see. If looking for higher priced items such as computers or electronics, you will definitely save money. It is worth the bit of extra time to search for the lowest price.

Second Act Saves You Money

Our thoughts are now on holiday shopping and getting the best deals. With that in mind, I wanted to make you aware of Second Act. This is an online retailer that offers the lowest prices on factory refurbished, factory closeouts, overstocks, end of life products and open box products. Who doesn't like saving money?

I know that there is some doubt when purchasing these kinds of items, but I myself saved a bundle on an open box item. I couldn't believe the discount I was given. Better for me...

At Second Act you will find HDTV's and related items. They are an authorized dealer of some major names in the electronics world. You will also find they offer the "deal of the day" feature that gives a deeper discount on an item for a 24 hour period.

Whether you are looking for an IPOD, flat screen TV's, home stereo systems or computer monitors, you can find it all at Second Act. Maybe you thought you couldn't afford to buy that someone special such a great gift, but chances are you can at Second Act.

Black Friday is Coming...Are you Prepared?

It is hard to believe in just 3 short months, it will be Black Friday. One of the biggest shopping days of the year. I cannot believe I am already thinking about holiday shopping, but I am trying to be more organized this year.

In the weeks preceding Black Friday, I tell myself I WILL get up early and get to the stores before the herds of people arrive. I will get all my holiday shopping done and save money purchasing the special sale items that entice you into the stores.

What happens is...the night before, I ask myself.."are you crazy?" getting up at dawn, driving in the traffic that already is bumper to bumper, only to get stuck on huge lines and fight with others grabbing at the same items.
Not this time!

I can not believe this, but there is a site I found called Black-Friday.net. On this site you can find all the thanksgiving ads and shop for the sale items in your favorite store without leaving the house! You don't have to get up early, fight the traffic or the lines in the stores. When on the site, you can sign up to receive email alerts on the newly posted thanksgiving ads and sale specials. The advantage to this being you see the ads before anyone else does. No waiting for your newspaper to arrive.

I remember going into Best Buy for gifts last year. Those of you who are not familiar with Best Buy,it is the number one specialty store for electronics, computers, TV's and entertainment software. When I arrived at the store, it was so crowded and it was impossible to look at the computer items I wanted to see. The music section was more crowded. I felt bad for the sales representatives; being yelled at, people being very impatient waiting for their turn.

Now that I found Black-Friday.net, I will be organized and prepared. More importantly, I can sleep in and won't have the hassles involved with shopping on this big event day. Not only will I be saving money, but my sanity as well.

Maybe you are thinking of having a garage sale or maybe it's time to get your house ready to sell and you find a lot of items will not be moving with you. Don't throw away or give away these items. Sell them on ebay ~ in your own store and reap the profits!

If you think this is hard to do, think again! 3 Steps and you are done:
Step 1
Register as a seller on eBay
