Master Lock Eases Tax Season

- brandy3 1 Comment

Tax season is almost over and I know many people wait until the last minute to file, as they waited to long for a W-2, or other information.
Here are some tips to get you on track and started early for this year and next.

  • Request electronic copies of your tax forms– Most employers will give you the option to receive your W-2 through email or on the web. You’ll get your tax return sooner and won’t have to worry about postal delays.
  • Securely Store documents online-Avoid the mess and stacks of paperwork by storing all of your documents online securely. The free secure service at Master Lock Vault will help.
  • Think taxes all year around– Don’t start preparing in February or even March. Start planning and having receipts and documents ready and in one place all year long.
  • Opt for direct deposit–  If your expecting a tax refund, opt to have it sent direct deposit. It’s faster and easier. If you owe money pay online, it will save you time from having to wait at the post office.
  • Call for help–  You might need outside help. There are great resources on the IRS website and also a toll free number you can call.

If you sign up for the Master Lock Vault to store your documents, and get a Vault account you’ll be entered in to win 1 of 5 1,000 prizes. It’s part of their Master Lock Tax Relief Rewards Sweepstakes.

We filed super early this year so to keep all my receipts and blogging documents safe, I will be storing them in a locked file safe.

The 7148D holds up to daily use and is perfect for storing important documents like Birth Certificates or even holding money.

***The 7148D  is perfect for my documents. We are putting together the file folders right now for our Birth Certificates and tax paperwork.  The 7148D is light weight and esy to move around. It comes with two keys and is easy to unlock and lock. One thing I did notice is that the lock moves around, so I had to use my nail to get it to line up so the key will go in.

I do feel a lot safer now that I know important documents are locked up.

You can get The 7148D from Master Lock for $21.09

The products:
Va-Va-Vivid!- Powered Contour Cleansing System: This powerful brush with super-soft, supple bristles gently massages your skin for a healthy-looking glow and a full-face cleansing.
Shine, Shine Go Away!- Shine Minimizing Cleanser: This cleanser has all the purifying power of a mask, but lathers and rinses like a daily cleanser to remove 2X more dirt, oil, and make-up than basic cleansing.
Bead Me Up!- Exfoliating Cleanser: Foaming bubbles and exfoliating micro beads come together to gently purify and lift away dirt, while softly scrubbing your skin for a beautifully fresh, healthy look.
S’Wipe Out!- Refreshing Make-up Removal Cloths: These special pre-moistened cloths are covered in cottony-soft cleansing pockets to lift away dirt and makeup – even waterproof mascara – in a flash.

BB Cream!- Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer with Sunscreen: An all-in-one solution for instantly brighter-looking, smoother-feeling, more even skin tone.

**I love the Bead Me Up exfoliating cleanser. It is not a harsh scrub, the beads are so tiny that it cleanses without irritating your skin. I love it. S’Wipe out cloths are great for those nights, you are so tired and don’t want to wash your face. The cloths do it all for you.

To get excited about the products Olay sent me a vanity, with all the products inside.

The powered contour system, i love it felt very weird using it the first time, but it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth.
Unfortunately the only problem i had was with Long Live Moisture cream, it made my face break out.

You can find all these products at your local Walmart.

It’s 2013, Do You Have Life Insurance

- brandy3 2 Comments

This is a compensated post written by me.

 

Life Insurance is very important this day and age, because so many people have 1 person working in the family. I know if something happen to my husband, my children and I would be left with nothing.

So I have been looking into term life insurance rates, for my family and I. You never know when you will need it. Most important make sure you get it for your children, they are what really matter.

Term life insurance quotes are so low that anyone can afford, life insurance. All you really need to do is look it up, and pick the right plan for you.   When I was looking I had so many questions to ask, luckily they had agents on cal ready to answer all my questions.

 

So tell me, have you considered term life insurance for your family?

Helping Your Hair Grow Out

- brandy3 3 Comments

I come from a family that can’t get long beautiful hair. All the men in my family start losing hair when they get in their twenties. They start with a receding hairline and then move on to have no hair at all or hair just on the sides of the head.  The woman do have hair in my family, but all of out hair is very thin so it’s hard to keep long.  Plus since our hair is so thin, it is brittle and more prone to fall out. I can say right now my hair does fall out in clumps, it drives me nuts.  It only started when i was pregnant with my son, 5 years ago.  I can fill up my brush in one day.

According to the website Hair growth can depend on several things like diet, lifestyle change, pregnancy, and more. Another ket role is your ethnic hair group. For example, Asian or Oriental hair has a better chance of growing longer than, a caucasian, black-afro or Caribbean hair.

I did attend beauty school as a young adult, although a complicated pregnancy made me drop out. I learned that a good hair treatment every few months can keep your hair healthy. Not with harsh chemicals, but just a cholesterol.  Also if you have oily hair, It’s good not to wash your hair everyday. as your hairs natural oils are actually good for you.

I don’t want to have thin brittle hair, so I have been trying different things to help my hair grow out and become thick.   I found this site that lists 101 Tips On How To Make Your Hair Grow. So now I am trying some of these to see how they work. I am really interested in their home remedies for hair loss and home remedies to make your hair grow faster.

Tell me your secrets for making your hair grow out and stay healthy?

B Liv By Cellnique Acne Control Products

- brandy3

I recently was able to try B Liv by Cellnique acne control products. I was so excited, I have suffered from acne for about 15 years. It drives me literally insane how bad it can get. Not to mention that I have tried almost every product you can think of, some help for a few days and then fall flat.

Here is my video

I really like these products as they are on harsh on my skin or burn after applying, like most products.

Spots Got Shot– I love the way this is packaged, it’s easy to apply to the face. This product takes a few weeks before you start to see results.

Off With Those Heads– This serum I really like, it has made my acne with white heads go down and not hurt as much, or be as red on my face. Within a few days of using it, the acne was almost gone.

Finding The Right Projector For Your Need

- brandy3

AcerX1240

 

I can remember using the projector slides in high school for a project I was doing on animals. Now projectors have improved so much, and are easier to use. Projectors can shoe movies in 3D now, and you can even show a full business proposal through a projector.

I love going to movies in the park where, you can lay under the stars and watch a movie shown by projector on a white sheet. It’s so cool!

For the past two weeks, I have been watching my husband practice and work on his thesis paper. He said he was considering doing his presentation through a projector. So I started looking into different projectors online.

I found a site that carries Business projectors in all sizes, for any kind of project. It’s amazing how many different styles there are. They have projectors for small meeting rooms to large lecture halls. We are considering just a small one. I just love how easy they are to use for anything, just plug in a USB and you have everything you need. You can also use them through WLAN (wireless local area network).

If we do end up getting one, I will definitely be using it for blogging projects 🙂

Have you ever used a projector for a business project or just to screen a movie?
