Okay My Bad

After all the hard work I did pre-writing my articles last night, I forgot one major thing. Another article! And as the previous article, this one has the same problem. It's about weight loss pill reviews, and hey there's not a lot you can do with that one either in the story I'm working on. But as you can tell from my previous post, I did move my character forward with ease and now she's ready for the next scene.

If you've got another big idea of where you'd like to see it go just for fun and want to try to use the weight loss pill reviews link in the story somehow, leave it in my comment box and I'll share it with my readers.

Of course, you have to know in reality I'll be leading my character down her own path because I know exactly where this dream leads to and post more of it in the future. In the mean time, have fun and good luck, ohhh and goodnight!

You Can't Win Them All Over

Unfortunately there’s not much I can do with prenatal vitamin reviews when incorporating it into a story like the one I have been. If any of my readers had any good ideas as to how the next scene may go from there using those words, feel free to share it with me by leaving a comment on this post and I’ll be happy to post it for my other readers to see. In the meantime, it’s time for this Insane Writer to call it a night.

Here's What I Know

I'll be absolutely blunt here. I am not for dieting pills whatsoever. Most are full of dangerous chemicals and simply aren't good for your body. If you're serious about losing weight, then get serious, skip the alli reviews and lose weight naturally.

Eat a healthy diet that's full of fruit and vegetables, get rid of the processed foods and sugar, and get off your butt and exercise. if you need something sweet reach for a naturally sweet peach or your choice of fruit instead.

There are no excuses when it comes to changing your body and your life, only those who refuse to change.

Marley

"Marley, it says here that this website has Betastax reviews. Maybe it would be a good idea to check it out before you think about getting some fat burning pill." Marley's husband said. "I mean really hun, I don't want you to make a wrong choice."

Marley stared at the computer screen and watched the webpages jump from one page to the next. It was as if she was scanning the pages, but the problem was she wasn't anywhere near her computer. Marley inched closer to the screen and read the website's name aloud. "Fat Burner." She backed away from the screen and closed her eyes. Her eyes had to be playing tricks on her. She'd been considering a fat burning pill for a while now. She wanted to lose some weight and she hated the thought of giving up her favorite snacks and exercising. So a fat burning pill seemed like her only option.

But now as she continued to stare at the webpages, she suddenly wondered if there wasn't something more. She'd never really believed in spirits, but how else could she explain what was happening right before her eyes. Was someone trying to tell her something?

Marley closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her husband had been gone for almost a year now. He'd been driving home from work when he lost control of his car on a patch of ice and slid off the Riverston Bridge. She missed him so. She smiled as she remembered how he would always whistle at her outfits when they went out to dinner. And how he would always hold her hand and tell her how beautiful she was.

Now she suddenly wondered, could it be him? Could he be sending her some sort of message? She smiled at that thought and sat down in front of her computer. If this was happening then maybe she'd better take a look. She clicked on the link to the reviews and began reading the article. Over her shoulder, Marley's husband smiled.

Ya I love to Write About Companies, but They're Not Always Sponsored!

I am having real difficulty understanding some companies. I was just told my account maybe suspended because I had two sponsored posts back to back. Funny because the post they were talking about isn't a sponsored post. I guess if you post about places like wal-mart or target because you love their stuff, you're automatically considered a sponsored post. I used to love target. I had brought several pieces of furniture from them that were awesome. I miss those guys.

Well, I won't apologize for writing about the things I love. I review bands, books and products that I don't see money for. Products I bought or saw face to face. I review them because I love their stuff or their work or I hate it. These people and places never sponsored me.

Take for instance Amazon.com. I talk about them all of the time because I used to work for them. I have bought several things from their website like Steve Borden's autobiography, a sushi cookbook and several other items. I've also written about products that were crap. Like the listerine whitening strip. If they ever sponsored me, I'd be shocked! I can still taste that nasty gummy strip. Yuck. It left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Well I guess if they're going to suspend my account, more power to them. I won't give up writing about things I love and hate. So sorry to disappoint you. Sponsored posts and some companies have just gotten ridiculous. Don't assume. Always ask.

Stress and the Skin

A few weeks ago I remember I had one of those little nose blackhead strip removers left and decided to use it. In all honesty, I really didn't expect to find anything coming off of the strip.

As it turns out, there were quite a few blackheads on my nose. Yuck. I already know it's from the stress I've been under. Anytime I'm under a lot of stress, I have some form of breakouts. Luckily I haven't had any real major ones, which means my stress is dwindling down a little.

When I do have breakouts, however. I usually find myself wondering what the best nose blackheads or acne treatment there is out there. Who's good and who's not? Who do you trust?

A while back I found GetAcneTreatments.com to be a decent place for acne reviews. What works and what doesn't. It's the only iste I know about that gives reviews. What do you think?

Help for Teens with Acne

While I have never had a real problem with Acne, I know of friends who have. While most of my friends have passed their high school years of Acne troubles, those years for some, were the most painful years of their lives.

Let's face it, High School can be painful enough as it is. But when you're troubled with Acne, it can be even worse. High School peers can often be cruel to those who are already facing low self-esteem as a result from Acne. Even worse is the fact that that low self-esteem can result in depression, a very serious matter. A matter that no one should ever have to experience.

Unfortunately, mother nature doesn't work that way. Often when Acne strikes, many teens try the popular treatments on the market that are approved for Acne. While some may work for a specific skin type, many may not.

If you're not sure what acne treatment is best for your skin type and you've tried all of the other the counter products, you might want to check out SyberVision's Reviews and their list of what they consider to be the best Acne products that are available on today's market.

SyberVision's Reviews might not be the answer to High School's most painful moments, but they can help when it comes to the troublesome problem of Acne.

A Breathe of Fresh Air

Yesterday was actually the first day I've been able to get out and enjoy myself, and relax without some kind of work being involved. After struggling with my latest article and realizing I needed a break, a friend of mine asked if we could join her and her boys at the park. My kids have been asking for a few days now about seeing her boys, so of course I said yes.

It was nice to be able to relax and chat with a friend. After the park my oldest two wanted to hang out with her boys, so my youngest and I hung out at home and I was able to finish up some work.

Then when my fiance came home we were off to wal-mart to pick up a few things. I finally managed to pick up wedding invitations and I am hoping to get those ready and out by tomorrow at least. We'll see. I found them on clearance for $9.00. Not to shabby I don't think. They come with 40 invitations, envelopes, return responses, response envelopes and seals.

While we were at wal-mart that same friend called and we wound up going to dinner with them at Railroad Brothers Italian Restaurant. After that, my oldest two decided to stay the night at my friend's house, so it was a very quiet night for us here.

I don't know if I am looking forward to today, however. I haven't been able to sleep for most of the night. After the alarm went off at 3am, I just couldn't manage to get back to sleep. I kept having nightmares about this guy( a real asshole) I dated who took money from me. I guess the dream has something to do with my fiance and our somewhat discussion of getting paid yesterday.

I don't think it really helped that something caused a very sharp pain on my leg last night. That was the first thing that woke me up before the alarm. I'm not sure what it was. It felt like someone had poked me with a needle. I checked for a mark early this morning, but I didn't see anything.

I did manage to look at a few wedding dresses today. I even managed to find one that I am really interested in. It's not new, but I can't afford a brand new dress and it's a one time use anyway, so I don't see the harm in buying a used wedding dress. With my first marriage the wedding dress wasn't new then either. As a matter of fact it was more like a prom dress.lol At least this time it will be an actually wedding dress!

Get Paid to Post with Payperpost

I've been a member of payperpost a viral marketing program, for about a month now. Now I did have a little trouble getting started with posting due to my own error but, I love this site for one reason. There are tons of advertisers looking for bloggers to post about them. And what does that mean for us? More Money of course! Plus they pay quite a bit more than some of the other paid for post sites out there do. The highest so far that I've been paid is $5, but I have several posts pending with them where the amounts are no less than $10. Great huh??? I've seen posting opportunities for as much as $300 and even heard about a blogger getting paid $2000 for a post. How cool is that??

The really cool thing about this site is, the show the top earning bloggers on the main page and how much they've earned so far. -It's great encouragement I think and a way to say, Yes! I can make that much too! Currently the top blogger has made $11,545.84! I can't wait to be in that area!

Another great feature that payperpost has is, the Blog Of The Day area. Here you can view other bloggers just like you that are getting paid to post with the site.

This is really a great site for moms, dads, college kids and grandparents who are really into blogging and want to get paid for it.

Pottery Barn and Saving Big With CouponChief.com

A few days ago I received Pottery Barn Catalog in the mail. Well, since then, I've discovered that it's my favorite place to shop! I love their style and ideas for furnishings and home decor. I couldn't believe that I was able to find furnishings and decor for every room in our home! What I love about Pottery Barn is their beautiful crafted wood furniture. I found a farmhouse Bedroom suite that I am absolutely in love with. I also found several light fixtures that would be great for the kitchen and a toilet paper roll/magazine rack for the bathroom. Most of their style has an old farmhouse theme, but somehow they manage to mix it and make it modern and suitable for just about any room in the house. Their also big on the beach house theme, which I love the most!

I also discovered that CouponChief.com has coupon deals for Pottery Barn. Very Nice! I can find FREE SHIPPING and SALE ITEMS. Can't beat that!

Check them out for yourself:

My Fascination With John Chow

Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched? I'm willing to bet John Chow feels that way every single day with his blog titled, "Make Money Online with John Chow dot Com."


Just as the blog is titled, he's blogging to help you make money online and of course make some money himself (who can blame him). So, I've decided to do a review of his blog since I can't get enough of it. And in return he's promised to link little old me if I review his blog. Thanks John and without further ado, here's the review!


What I think of John Chow's Blog

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and here's mine. When I first ran across John Chow's blog I was fascinated with his articles on how to make money with your blog. Then I dug further into his blog and found a couple of interesting articles about what he's actually making (a month by month breakdown) and who paid what to him. Very Cool! John is not just about making money, however. I actually learned that, after running across an article back in March that left me giggling, "Proof That Girls Are Evil" and inspired me to post my own article in reply titled, "Proof That Girls Are Not Evil."

Why You Should Be A John Chow Fan

If you're looking for a few great ideas on how to make money from your blog, then you'll definitely want to become a fan of John Chow's blog. He will show you where the money is and how to get your own. Plus he's one of the better how to make money bloggers that I've ran across. He also runs a few contests now and then, that don't cost you a penny to enter! And last, but certainly not least, he's gained some pretty good exposure, which can help you as well.

My Final Thoughts...

What it all boils down to is this: Sure there are some other great bloggers who are interested in showing you how to make money (I've added a few to my bookmarks), but what I love about John Chow's blog is that it's very informative. All in All, his blog is simply put, "A Damn Good Read."

Thank You John for allowing me the opportunity to review your blog. If you're ever up for an interview, I'd be happy to do one and post it here.

Care Fair

While I have a few extra moments, I thought I would give you a bit of background (sort of a review, I guess) on who I work for. I started working for Care Fair last August. My first experience with them was a bit hesitant because in the past I have found getting a long with most of my bosses as a negative experience. Nathalie however, is different. What really impressed me was the fact that I received an unexpected package in the mail from her last December. In it was a wonderful Christmas basket filled with yummy goodies and a thank you note from the Care Fair team. I was so touched that I sent her a thank you note. In return she was touched by my thank you note.lol Lately things have been a bit slow with my writing and while Nathalie could easily dismiss me as a writer, she hasn't and I am very thankful for that! She has been a wonderful boss and I truly enjoy working for her and the rest of the Care Fair team.

When you drop by their website, you'll notice it is beauty related. It's another reason I enjoy working there! I have always been fascinated with beauty and at one point considered a career in cosmetology. I love makeovers and I love seeing the wonderful expressions on the faces of those who are made over. The one unique thing about Care Fair is that there is a section included for Men! You'll also find product reviews and a dictionary based on cosmetics!

If you enjoy beauty as much as I do, definitely check them out! You won't be disappointed!
