Massage Chairs are GREAT!

Massages are great! Not only do they feel good, but they are a great way to realize stress. However, getting a professional massage every time you need one is not the most practical or affordable thing to do. Instead, you might want to look into investing in a good massage chair. Human Touch has developed several amazing Massage Chairs and products and has recently added the new HT 7450 Zero Gravity Massage Chair. This chair combines Percussion, Rolling, Compression, and Kneading techniques. I love sitting in massage chairs, but since I’m short a lot of times the motions don’t hit the right spots on my back. However, this new massage chair from Human Touch helps fix this problem! Human Touch explains that “the HT 7450 Zero Gravity Massage Chair calibrates the body frame of the individual sitting in it and adjusts according to that individual’s unique physique, so each massage in the HT 7450 is perfectly focused on the right areas of the body.” I definitely need to try this one out! Sounds like a good Christmas idea!

End of Semester

Wow I cant believe finals week is just about here! I just finished up classes this week and now I'm on the last stretch of the whole semester. It has gone by so fast! What a week its been...I'm actually looking forward to finals week because it will be SO much less stressful! I've been working a lot lately at my new job, and had a big paper for my Evaluation class due yesterday. After a LONNNG night I finally got it done. I am so relieved to have that done! Now that thats over, I feel like I can relax a little and focus on finishing up everything else I need to do for the end of the semester. I only have two finals next week, so it shouldnt be too bad! After Tuesday, I wont have to worry about school at all for a few weeks. (Which will be realllly nice) Then...I'll come back and start up my last semester of school! Wow!

Make your business more competitive...

With the popularity of online shopping, putting your business online may be just what you need to make it boom. Online shopping has become so easy that if your customers do not have that option it may just inch your company out of the competition. Of course, setting up an online store isn’t the easiest thing to do. However, there is some great software available to help get you started.
Ashop Commerce shopping cart Software is one that seems to have everything you need to get started, and maintain your business online. Ashop provides you with thousands of features, allows you to fully customize your store design, and even offers a free trial so you can test it out and see if its right for you. I would definitely recommend checking them out to help you get started with an online business that looks professional, is easy to use, and one that your customers will want to keep visiting!

Panthers Round Two...

Tomorrow is another big game for our Panther's! Round two of the playoffs is tomorrow afternoon. Its another sold out, home game which should give a little extra boost to our team. They'll play Delaware, and I'm sure it will be another great game. I wasnt able to get a ticket before they sold out, but it will be played on TV so I still plan to watch it and hopefully see them come away with another victory! GOOOO PANTHERS! =)

Weight Loss Surgery

There are so many people in our country who face problems with obesity and just cant seem to lose the weight that they need to. Many of these people choose to have stomach bypass surgery, which makes the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass part of the small intestine. I am NOT an advocate for this surgery at all, it is extremely dangerous and I think there are other much better options out there for losing weight. One option that is similar to gastric bypass surgery, but has much less risk involved is the Lapband. With this procedure, the stomach is made smaller but it is adjustable and patients lost weight slower than with the bypass surgery. (Which is MUCH healthier for your body.) If you are considering having a procedure done to lose weight, be sure and look into all the pros and cons before deciding. If you think its right for you, find a specialized lap-band doctor and talk with them further to see if its the right solution for you life.

Its cold in here!

BRRRRR...Our house is down to about 58 degrees! The other day my roommate came home and heard something dripping. She went downstairs and the basement floor around the heater was soaking wet! For some reason, our heater to dripping/pouring out water when its on. So, we've turned the heat way down so it wont kick on as much. Even with it turned down though, it still filled up our kitchen garbage can with water! AHHH I hope this gets fixed soon!

Thanks PayPerPost!

PayPerPost is an awesome way to make money! My boyfriend, Jake, started blogging for payperpost last year and when I saw how much money he was making with it I just had to get hooked up with it too! I get pretty busy with school and other things, so I'm not always very diligent at posting but it's great for me to always have that extra option to turn to so I can make some extra money. Since I am still new to the blogging world, I do not have a page rank on my blog but I hope to someday! The higher the page rank the better the post opportunities that are available to you. Then you can REALLY make the big bucks with payperpost
With PPP, it's great to have such a wide variety of opportunities available. I also signed up with a couple other blog marketing sites, but the others do not have even CLOSE to the amount of posts available or the diversity of posts. I really like having the option to choose a different post if I don't like one that is being offered.
My goal is to use my money from PayPerPost to get my computer paid off…really fast! =)

My New Job!

This week I'm starting a new job as a waitress for a fancy Italian resaurant called Ferraris and so far I really like it! Its so much better than my last job...as a telemarketer. Yes, I was desparite; I needed a job and thats what was avaible right away! However, after about a week and a half I got a call from the manager at Ferraris saying he'd like to set up an interview. I was extremely thrilled! =) Telemarketing was just not my thing. I knew I couldnt last long at that job so before I even knew I had the waitressing position for sure, I quit! Haha...I had never quit a job like that, so it felt a little weird; especially since I hadn't even been there two full weeks yet! I was so relived when I walked out of that place...and I never have to go back. WooHoo! =) Anways...I think this new position is going to be a lot of fun. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, amazing food, and fun people to work with. I can't wait to officially start serving!

Go Panthers!

Wow...our Panther football team is AWESOME! My family and I got to go to the first playoff game on Saturday which was a lot of fun. What a game! Our team was ahead most of the game (not by much though) but then with less than 2 minutes left New Hampshire scored pulling them ahead by a couple points. Everyone was stunned and couldnt believe that the game had taken such a turn with not much time left. BUT our Panthers were up to the pressure and marched the ball right back down the field and made an amazing touchdown pass play leaving only 7 seconds left on the clock!!! WOW! Everyone went crazy. Hah...I dont think there was anyone watching that didnt jump off their seat. On the way home, Steven said..."I think I screamed like a girl when they scored!" It was so exciting. This Saturday is round two...GO PANTHERS! =)

Thanksgiving Break

I cant believe its already the Wednesday after Thanksgiving break! It was so nice having a full week off last week. Usually we only have the day before and day after Thanksgiving, but this year we had the WHOLLLLLE week! It still didnt seem like enough though. Breaks always go by wayyyy to fast! Jon got to come back for most of the week, from California. So that was great to see him! I had a ton of fun living with him this summer and I miss having him around so its always nice when he gets to come visit!

New Baby in the Family!

Thursday night Jenna and Scott had their little baby girl, Kaelyn! She is sooooo adorable! Jake and I went up to Albert Lea this weekend and got to spend some time with Kaelyn and the rest of Jake's family. It was such a great time. She is so prefect! Thinking about little Kaelyn makes me remember how amazing God is and what a miracle a little baby is! I'm so excited to have one (and soon two!) in the family now...Jake is such a proud uncle =)

Need some quick cash?

As a college student, I definitely know what it is like to be low on cash! Sometimes that car payment or phone bill lands just before pay day and it can be stressful coming up with enough money. If you find yourself in one of these situations, there may be a solution for you to check out. A payday loan is short term loan that can range from $100 to $1500, to meet your money needs on the spot. Check out Payday Loan Quotes to see if this is a good option for you.

I love school!!!!!

Ok, so maybe I dont always feel like that...but I sure do today! =) I just got my grade from my Fitness Assessment and Programming test I had last week, and I got 98% on it! woohoo! AND I found out that I'm sitting very "sweetly", as my professor put it, with almost a 95% in the class overall. Also, I just checked my grade from my chemistry/physics class I took this summer and found out I recieved an A in that class also. Ahhh I love school. (I hope this streak keeps up in my other classes!)

Holiday shopping season is just around the corner...

It's hard to believe but its true! The holiday shopping season is only a few weeks away. Do you have you lists made yet? If you don't, its ok...I don't either! I'm not one to go out the day after Thanksgiving and fight through the crazy crowds. Holiday shopping doesn't have to mean long lines and crowded stores though. This year, maybe try doing some of your shopping online. If you do, Coupon Chief is definitely a place I would recommend checking out first. I have no idea what I am going to get the loved ones on my list, but I am excited to start looking!
Both of Jake's sisters will be having babies (within the week!) so this Christmas is definitely going to be a fun one with the new little ones around and its always fun shopping for baby clothes and toys! Coupon Chief has some great Target coupons for baby gifts to check out.
A Best Buy coupon I'm sure would come in handy for a gift for Jake. He loves electronics, so this is definitely a place for me to start looking.
Whether its at Target or Best Buy I'll be checking out Coupon Chief to see where I can save!

Online Gambling

I am not a big fan of online gambling. I think that for some people it may be a fun thing to do once in awhile, but I also think that it is easy to make it a more than "once in awhile" thing. I have never used an online gambling site, but I know there are thousands of people who do. For those that do use them, first of all, be careful! Don't let yourself end up spending too much time on these sites (or too much money!). Second, if use these sites, make sure they are secure and legitimate and legal.
Pro360.com is a gambling review site where you can read reviews and find ratings for almost 3000 online casinos. I think this site is a good resource to do some research on before going out and logging into any random gambling site you may come across on the internet.
Again, make sure that you are smart and stay in control of your online gambling and be sure to check out the site you're using first before you start.

Yoga and Pilates

Today I started the first day of my yoga and pilates class and I think I'm going to really like it. I hope to someday teach a yoga and pilates class so I'm looking forward to learning some techniques to pass on! Today we worked primarily on stretching and breathing. It was really relaxing and helped ease some of my stress for a test I have today.

Got a messy garage?

My parents have a really nice three car garage but I dont think there was ever a time when you could actually fit three cars in it! They've kept it clear enough for their two cars...but the third stall is completely full of stuff. They have everything in there...bikes, fishing poles (both of which havent been used in YEARRRSSS!), tools, and I'm sure a lot more. =) They would definitely benefit from some garage organization tools to help them out! Carguygarage.com offers several different items for those of us who need a little extra storage in our garage. Check them out and see how you can clear some of that clutter!

Homecoming

Last week was homecoming week at UNI, and ended with the big game on Saturday. This was my last college homecoming...but sadly it didnt really feel any different than any other week. Friday night they had something called the pride cry, where different groups make up a song/skit and perform in front of everyone. Its kind of a fun time to get everyone excited and pumped up for the homecoming game. Afterwards there were fireworks, which was a really great display this year! Last year they shot them off WAYYY too close so it was a little hard to enjoy them as the cardboard and debris fell on us! Hah I guess they learned their lesson.
I was bummed that I didnt get to go to the game. Tickets sold out at the beginning of the week and I didnt get a chance to get one. Instead, Jake and I watched the game on his TV. What a game! We won by 6, but it got a little too close for comfort there in the last seconds; but UNI held on and still remain undefeated! Hopefully I will be able to make it to the next home game!

IndieMV.com

If you are a fan of the independent music scene you're missing out if you haven't checked out IndieMV.com. IndieMV is a great site to connect indie music artists and fans, or as they put it: IndieMV - Musical Intercourse. The site offers tools such as video blogging, web-cam messaging, photo sharing, as well as access to music videos, interviews, and much more. One really neat feature I liked about this site is the slider tool; this feature helps you narrow down your search results so you only have to look through ones that match your interests!

In addition to what they already offer, IndieMV is hosting a "UNITE AGAINST AIDS Video Contest" in support of UNICEF's Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS campaign. This contest will give Canadians the chance to express their thoughts about the impact of HIV/AIDS through music or video. Check them out for more details about the contest and see what else they have to offer!
