When I really need cash, I sell some of my jewelry. The truth is I don’t wear a lot of jewelry and it just sits in a box. Unless it has a lot of sentimental value, there is no reason for me to store it. So why not just sell it and get a good amount of money for it.

With my rings and other jewelry my problem is I never know how much the diamonds are worth.www.diamondvaluation.com has helped me find out a good price for my diamonds and they can even sell them through the site. You can sell from anywhere worldwide.

What I love about this site is they offer better prices than most traditional outlets, and you never have to leave your house. everything is done online, and there is no need to leave the house.

On the site all you have to do is enter all your information about your diamond ring, jewelry, or loose diamonds. Then a rep will call you and verify. It’s that easy, you will get top dollar for your jewelry.

Have you ever sold your diamonds? Or even just wanted to know how much they are worth?

Top Three Reasons To Invest In A New Ice Machine Before Summer Arrives

- brandy3 1 Comment

Guest post by Beth W

If your business serves up hundreds of cold drinks per day, you need a reliable and productive ice machine. Investing in a new appliance before the summer season begins will help you prepare for the rush of thirsty visitors looking for their favorite drinks with fresh, clean ice to keep them cool.

1. Handling Demand

The worst thing that could happen on a hot summer day would be an icemaker malfunction at your moment of peak demand. Small or older appliances often struggle to keep producing ice at a fast pace when demand spikes. A large and powerful icemaker from Culinary Depot will keep drinks moving out as soon as your workers can fill the cups. When the heat waves come, you don’t want to be using appliances that are obsolete and about to fail. Make sure to purchase a unit that will handle the amount of customers your business serves.

2. Easy To Clean

It is crucial to disinfect and clean the ice maker on a regular basis to prevent bacterial colonies from settling in and making guests ill. Many older models are full of nooks and crannies that make thorough cleaning a pain. You need to look for a new model that is designed for quick disinfection so your employees can spend less time cleaning and more time serving customers. Models with convenient bottom drains can speed up rinsing while ensuring no disinfectant or cleaning product remains in the tank to contaminate the ice.

3. Higher Efficiency
Spend less on your business expenses by investing in a quality icemaker that can produce pounds of ice per hour without using a lot of electricity. Extra insulation will keep ice frozen and ready to use while softening the noise that older commercial appliances usually produce during operation.

Clorox’s New Ick-tionary

I am being compensated by The Clorox Company to share a new language about messes for the Clorox  Ick-tionary.

 

I have teamed up with Clorox to help create words for their new Icktionary campaign.    You can visit www.icktionary.com for hilarious words and situations that any Clorox product will clean.

So over the next 4 months I will be bringing you the words and definitions that  I have contributed to the Clorox Icktionary. The words that I have chose are things that I am sure happens in every household. Most of them are things your kids do that disgust you. Luckily they can be clean and sanitized with Clorox.

 

My first word is….

Wonder Mark: the definition is when when you find a brown stain on kids’ clothes and have to wonder if it’s poop, chocolate or marker.

This is actually my favorite,because when my kids were younger this happened all the time. I would see a brown stain on my kids clothes or hands etc. and I always dreaded having to find out what it was, but as a parent you have to take that chance.

Luckily for me ost of the time it was Chocolate which was easy to get out by throwing it in with the whites and clorox. There have been a few times when I’ve seen a brown mark on the wall, like in the bathroom. I didn’t even want to chance it, I just used Clorox wipe to clean it up.

Trust me though like most moms, I have been in the situation where I regretted finding out what the brown stain was.

 

Tell me about a time where you had to take the plunge and figure out what that stain was?  You can visit www.icktionary.com and see all the words, plus add your own.

Receive a coupon for 75 cents of Clorox products, and learn how to clean the ick, and play games for a chance to win $25 gift card

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?

Lysol is starting a new campaign to help keep families healthy. They want to make sure families are taking the correct steps to keep their families healthy with sanitizing and proper washing etc.

One of my favorite products is Lysol wipes, they help keep my kitchen and bathroom counters clean. Plus having 3 kids so many things get spilled, perfect for clean up.

  2. Know the difference between cleaning and disinfecting.
  3. Start with a wipe down like Lysol wipes, then use a disinfectant spray
  4. disinfect things you don’t normally do like door knobs, handles and drains.
  5. Most important* Remember to wash your hands!

Most illness’s are brought home and then linger on doorknobs, and other places. The illness will keep spreading if you don’t get rid of the germs. Don’t just make your house clean, but make it healthy too.

Putting The Personalized Touches On Your House

- brandy3 1 Comment

 

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Mailbox and Beyond.

When we finally get to own our own home, I will be making it all my own. I have been picturing it in my head for a while, I want a nice beautiful mailbox and a address plaque to show off my house.

That may sound kind of silly, but every house I have ever lived in had missing numbers on the door, or the mailbox was really old and you could barely read the address. So just picturing my future house I want a custom personalized address plaque, so people can always find my address by my house. No stickers or torn of falling numbers.

My mailbox is the first thing people will see when they drive by or when they arrive at my house, so I want it to be really nice. Not to mention that it should have the address properly displayed on it for the mailman etc.  I really like the Whitehall Mailboxes available. They seem really sturdy and you can personalize them. I love the ones that have the little box at the bottom for newspapers. It makes it so much easier and you never need to worry about your paper getting damaged.

I can’t wait to own my own house!!!!

So tell me, is your mailbox or having your address properly displayed important to you?

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?

Finding The Right Projector For Your Need

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?
