Beauty Products Can Be Costly

Here is a great tip for you ladies who are big fans of pore strips.  You know those strips you place across your nose to get all the dirt and grim out of your pores.  These strips are very costly and they can be a bit of a pain to use but I have found an awesome way to save a bit of money and do a great job of really get all that stuff out of your pores.

So what you will need is:
A clean face
A small microwave cup or container
A small brush for applying the mixture to your nose  (cheap clean brush)
1 tablespoon of milk from your frig.
1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin like Knox brand but you can use any brand

Mix the milk and gelatin in the microwave safe cup or container.  It should look kind of chunky.
Then place in your microwave for only 10 seconds only and that's it.

Make sure you just test it on the back of your hand so you don't burn yourself and then apply all over the nose area and let it dry for about 10 minutes.  Then slowly peel it off and just look at all that gunk that comes off.  Risen any residue off.  Now is a good time to apply any facial products since the pores are clean and will absorb better.

Hope this helps save your a bit on money and helps you have a more healthy looking skin.

Happy Independence Day!!!

 "Happy Independence Day"

Let us celebrate on July 4th " Independence Day ", because that is the day when the Continental Congress adopted the final draft of the Declaration of Independence. 

It is a time to remember that independence is the spirit and the soul of this great nation. May the fireworks fly with the rockets red glare in celebration of Our Day of Deliverance and that liberation from captivity is what we honor and so often forget. 

And forever independent we will remain. If we continue to fight back.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Independence Day!

Savings Account at Emigrant Direct.Com

I love this site for stashing away some extra cash for that rainy day and so should you!   You can have money transferred directly from your own checking account which is very easy to do online.  So go ahead and check it out.

Start out small then set up an automatic draft for say 25.00 month or more and just watch it add up.  But remember this is your rainy day fund or perhaps you Christmas fund ...who knows.  I like knowing I have a little cash tucked away for those hiccups that come along once in awhile that can really throw you for a loop.  You will have to wait about 3 business days to get the money transferred back into your checking account but to me that is not a problem and again you never know you might just decided you really didn't need it after all.

Go ahead see what your current bank is offering in the way of interest and I bet it won't be as high as Emigrant Direct is offering.  Right now it is at  0.80%  APY and that's better than my bank Chase I am sure.

 In fact I couldn't even get Chase to tell me what the APY is ...oh wait I called back and they wanted my name full name...grrrr I didn't give it only my first name...what state I was in and if I had a checking account they wanted that too, I did not get them my checking account info I did give the State then she asked was it North Texas I said yes finally got an 0.50% APY .  That was like pulling teeth just to get that information and me trying to explode on this lady, in fact the second person I had to talk to just to get the freaking APY.  Can we say O.M.G.!!!

It almost makes me want to change banks because every time I call just to get a bit of information they give me the 3rd degree.  What happened to customer service and just answering a customers questions.  And if your going to ask me a bunch of what I think is unrelated questions then tell me why you need that information.  How will that benefit me in the long run.  It makes me think that if you see I have a small checking account you will give me a smaller APY?  What the heck.  Who knows why all the questions because know one told me how it would benefit me and that might have helped me be not so aggravated with the 3rd degree.

Anywho....just check Emigrant Direct out see if it's a good match for you.  Happy Savings to all.
