Finding Motivation to Stay Fit – Guest Post by Lita Lewis

The end of Summer is near, and this is the time of the year where we stop going to the gym, working out, and back to eating like crazy, because the Fall/Winter clothes will keep that weight nicely hidden. Right?! Wrong! I’ve recently joined the gym, ok, maybe about a month or two ago, and I am trying to make it habit of going and getting and staying fit.

The Dangers Of Ignoring Your Oil

If you own a car, you need to know about engine oil, not just where in the engine it goes but also the consequences of ignoring it.
