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. Whether it’s Summer, Fall, Winter or Spring, I will put in some workout in my daily life.
On Tuesday, August 17th, 2010, MediaBistro hosted it’s second Book Club party of the year, featuring some amazing authors showcasing their new books. A few lucky guests that arrived early were giving the chance to take a free books home. I was amongst those lucky few….
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. If you let your oil level drop too low or even if you use the wrong type of oil for your car, you could increase your emissions which can affect your MOT and get you in trouble if you find yourself being stopped by the police. From a cost perspective, not enough oil or using the wrong type will mean you end up burning more fuel, and with prices at the pumps higher than they’ve ever been can you really afford this?
Finding creative ideas to maximize space when living in a small apartment can be a daily challenge. If you live in a small space, you may be wondering if it is actually possible to maintain comfort and have a place for everything!

This Summer I have been looking for a few nail polish colors that will give my pedicure some LIFE! I asked a few people for suggestions and that’s how my Essie’s Resort Collection journey began…

The latest big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s romance saga picks up pretty much where New Moon left off. The tween soap opera works the love triangle between Bella (Kristin Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson), and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) to a fever pitch while an army of young vampires grows in Seattle.
Getting into debt is always easier (and generally more fun) than digging your way out of it. You sure loved those little ankle boots when you bought them on credit (only $100 on sale!) but now that they’ve been sitting in your closet for three months, you’re beginning to wonder if they’re really worth the exorbitant amount of money you’ll end up paying in interest for them (you suddenly realize that they’ve cost you almost double what you thought…ouch).
I enjoy useful, efficient apps that have a purpose, actually a lot of the apps on my iPhone I keep them because if their usefulness and functionality. Below are my Top 5 iPhone Apps:
If you’re like most people who have owned stocks for at least the last few years, then you probably got hosed as the market fell (apparently the term “crash” does not apply, regardless of the similarly catastrophic outcome). Many Americans pulled out of the race completely (some not by choice) as the stock market plummeted, and some never went back.
Like most people, you’re probably looking to get away for the summer. The kids are out of school and the weather is finally warm enough that you find yourself looking out your window longingly and wondering what the heck you’re still doing in front of that computer screen. But with the economy in a perpetual state of recession, you may have to face the fact that your yearly trip to Hawaii must be put on hold. Don’t fret yet.
Buying a first house can be an exhilarating experience. However, that feeling can quickly disappear when thoughts then turn to furnishing your new home and you realise how little spare cash you have left! Fortunately, there are some easy ways to make that first house a home without compromising the budget.
Even though Christmas is still months away, and thoughts of mistletoe are the furthest thing from your mind as you laze away the long days of summer by the pool, it’s never too soon to start planning for the busy holiday season. Years past have found you scrambling to come up with those last-minute gifts and fighting desperate moms in the frozen foods section for the one and only ham left in the whole city on Christmas Eve. But picture this instead: come December, all of your gifts are bought, wrapped, and stored neatly in the closet.
If you are a frugal person like myself you probably think that the iPhone is an indulgence that is simply not in the budget. While the initial investment in it is costly, over time the iPhone can actually save you money. By figuring out which of the applications can help you cut costs and find the best deals, your iPhone will quickly become a budget boon rather then a budget buster. Listed here are some of the top money saving applications that you too can use to save money.
If you aren’t on the social media bandwagon, then what are you waiting for? Social media and Twitter in particular is a must-do, especially if you are a website owner who wants to increase your exposure and bring more traffic to your site. The truth is that anyone who is anyone is tweeting, friending, updating, and broadcasting their content and personal brand – if you’re not participating on these sites, you’re not going to be considered credible (exception: you are already famous and are not using social media as a statement).
Most of us are never going to be extraordinarily wealthy. It’s that simple. Chances are we might save up a bit of money from time-to-time but we probably won’t be able to afford a Ferrari or a big ‘ol mansion. It’s even harder to accumulate large sums of money if you’re born into a family that is struggling to make ends meet.
Getting my new iPhone on launch was as painless as I didn’t imagine. I think the most painful thing was waiting for it to launch and leaving the Blackberry team. Arriving at the Apple Store on 5th Avenue around 1:40pm, and seeing the line for the non-preorder made me appreciate waking up early on June 15th to Pre-order mine. A lil lack of sleep paid off. The pre-order line was very short and very organized, both lines were actually.
Yesterday, around 5:30pm I made my way around the Apple Store, location: 5th Avenue to see what the line was looking like and what I’ll be facing myself with the following day. As I made my way around to take the pic and record some video, I came across the number one guy on the Pre-order line, Greg Packer. I saw him on Mashable’s video the day before, he’s the dude in the bright orange shirt. I asked him how long he’s been here, he stated since Monday.
The lines are somewhat separated, across from where Greg is sitting, is the NON reservations line, the people with no pre-orders hoping to get a phone on June 24th.
Summer is a time of freedom; freedom from school, stress, and hopefully work (as many Americans take off for vacation). And there is no better way to spend a lazy summer afternoon than by beating the heat in a lovely air-conditioned theater. But with studios throwing everything they’ve got into making that gold-mine blockbuster that will revitalize their sales, it’s hard to sort through the hype and get to the heart of which movies are actually worth seeing. So here are a few for summer 2010 that you can’t afford to miss.
I’m sure you’ve heard that it’s always better to own your own home rather to rent a home or apartment. However, there are actually quite a few reasons why renting could top owning. Yep. You read that right. Someone is telling you that maybe renting is a good option after all! Here are five reasons that you may just want to start looking at apartments for rent.
