Back down Memory Lane

Image
It wasn't a photograph.... but a big ass sign. Lol. I remember having difficulties on my job that I had managed to stay at for nearly 2 years. (God did that) Because I knew I was barely making ends meet on some new bills I created. I decided to eliminate them by making some extra money selling Avon. Boy,oh, boy was that a power move - God allowed me to do. Next,not even 2 weeks after that I resigned. Let me tell you why, I've been praying and praying for what do about the problems on my job. And the answer was leave. I will take care of you. Anyway. When I saw the sign it reminded of those heavy hitter days and beginner days of my Avon business. I had signs in folks yard, flyers, and business anywhere I could get them. Cause if I didn't work, I didn't eat. Thanks for walking with me. Comment, join site, and share.

Job Hunting via Agency

Image
I stopped by a job agency this evening just to see what's the scoop. I've been self-employed for the past 5 years, so I'm a little out of the loop. This agency had specific times and days you could apply. Also, you had to have resume in hand before they even give you an application. Then after that is file you have to call in every week to update info or else your application is trashed. Is this the norm? Or this just my city? Inquiring minds want to know.

Quit Playing Hunger Games- The New Skinny Foods You Should be Eating

Image
Hi there, Have you ever wondered, "What foods should I be eating?" Well here are a few so you can stop grazing and eat! Milk: Research has shown that two glasses of nonfat milk after exercise helps you gain more muscle and lose more fat. Full-Fat cheese: Go for a little bit of the good stuff instead of too much of the skinner version. "You'll end up eating more of the low-fat cheese if you're not fully satisfied by it." Greek yogurt: "It has more protein that regular yogurt, and it's extra creamy." Frozen vegetables: Just three minutes in the microwave. Healthy frozen meals: Look for entrees of less than 400 calories, with at least 3 grams of fiber abd less than 500 milligrams of sodium. Low-sodium lunch meat: Eat in sandwiches made from whole-grain bread. Peanut Butter: "It's packed with protein and antioxidants, especially resveratrol, which has been found to help fight cancer and heart disease", Grotto says. Whole-grai

Article Review- "Why Wal-Mart is Worried About Amazon "

Image
Hello all, As I am working through my large pike of magazines this Memorial Day Weekend 2012, I came across this great article in Bloomberg Businessweek , April 2- April 8, 2012. It talks about how Amazon.com is now Wal-Mart's biggest competition. How can this online mall beat the world's largest retail chain? Easy, they are dominanting the market their in --- Online! Wal-Mart must've just got wind or just paid attention to the numbers and found out they really suck online. Only 2% of their sales come from their website. In my opinion, its because of the user interface. I am not engaged when I happen to land on their page. The articles lists their downfall or lack due to smartphones and the scanning feature. Where consumers can often find an item cheaper online by scanning the products barcode. The funny thing, Amazon.com is always listed #1. So they've hired some techies to get things up to par by offering apps and a different way to pay. The newest idea is order

Quaker Oatmeal Squares - Food Review

Image
I got a sample of Quaker Oatmeal Squares in mail the other day. I was excited because I love all that is free. I'm constantly posting contests, giveaways, bargains, and free stuff on my Facebook page. Anyway.  I opted to have this with my egg whites instead of my traditional Quaker Instant Oatmeal Original. If I had to describe it in one word wholesome. Tasted more like shredded wheat with brown sugar instead of the honey nut flavoring on the box. Wish it was more in the box and wish the coupon would've been on paper versus the box. Overall I will think about this cereal as an alternative to hot oatemeal in the mornings.

Creativity

Image
Amazing what getting by yourself and getting under complete focus can do. Lack creativity? I doubt it. You just haven't quieted your mind yet. Allow God to give you peace and rest. Say that in a prayer today. Will you? During my creative moment I painted my nails in a way I haven't in years. Perhaps when I was a teenager? Alone time is good for your soul. Try it today?

Battlefield of the Mind -Mini Book Review

Image
Wait on God: " When we try to do something on our own, fail, and then realize that we must wait on Him, our hearts overflow with thanksgiving and praise as He rises up and does what we can not do ourselves." This explains why we (me too) make a 11 day journey take 40 years to complete. Failing (Failure) When you fail (which you will), that doesnt mean that you are a failure. It simply means that you don't do everything right. We all have to accept the fact that along with strengths we also have weaknesses. Just let Christ be strong in your weaknesses; let Him be your strength on your weak days. This paragraph helped lift my spirit. I have been known for my strength and with every failure it tears me down. I have to realize I am allowed to be weak and I AM going to fail because I cannot do everything right. Such a load off. I hope this word blesses you today.

Beginner Runner

This morning I decided to use my Sports Tracker App on my new Android phone to track my straight out of bed run. It wasnt to shabby but wasnt great either. My legs felt extremely heavy. My breathing was trying to get out of control as I sped up a little. My avg speed was 3.9 mph. I'm wondering how to increase my speed any tips??? Post them below.

Tide Pods Sample - Review

1 out of 5 stars. I purposely washed clothes with stains to see its power and it failed. Stains were no more than 1 to 2 days old. I didnt use any stain removal agents or fabric softner. Washing setting was hot water/super load/ extra heavy and the clothes emerged ok but they were wet and I had an appointment. I dried my clothes and to my surprise they were off white/faded looking. The 1 out of 5 stars is for smell. They smell great but look terrible. Guess thats why I didnt get a coupon with the sample. Hmm...? Leave your comments below.
