Straight Talk 2

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Times are rough nowadays, with the down turn in the economy, people are forced to tighten their wallets and expenses. For example my wife and I are both with a cell phone contract right now, and we get slapped with a 200 dollar bill every month, it did not seem like it before, but I feel like we got conned. Basically they got us: hook, line and sinker. That is why as soon as possible I am going to make a switch to straight talk phone plan. Their $45 unlimited plan is exactly that: forty five beans a month for 1000 minutes of talk, 1000 texts and 30 megabytes of data. There are no contracts, no suprise bills, no credit checks, with great nationwide coverage and reception using trusted phone manufacturers such as LG, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia and Samsung. 411 calls are included for no extra charge, free from activition,reactivition and termination fees. They also have a flexible prepaid calling service for those international calls which can be made from your home, cell or office phone for low rates. The phones themselves are excellent: reconditioned phones with camera, mp3 player, mobile web access and blue tooth capability. Smart phones that has everything you need such as touch screen, app capability, voice navigation, camera video recorder, music player, instant messaging and bluetooth. So go ahead, switch to STRAIGHT TALK, whether you are web surfing with you're phone, texting, downloading apps or to call a friend or family locally or overseas, they got you covered.

Hair at Home

Guest post written by my buddy Royce Heath

Hair has always been a big part of my life and when I hit an age where I could afford to do it full time that’s exactly what I did. I started out small and mostly made house calls but when I saved up enough money I decided to turn my guest room into a salon – don’t tell the IRS! I have the room set up just like a real salon with a hair chair and a wall full of mirrors and all my most loyal clients just love it. They make appointments for all hours of the day and it’s totally fine because I’m at home and there’s no big deal if I work late! Anyway, I didn’t change a lot other than that one room…I mean, I went to SecurityChoice.com/ to get an alarm and I made sure the doorbell was a lot louder than it was before. I also got a big crate for the dog since some of my clients don’t love him all up on their laps!

Gorton's Seafood 100 Days of Sizzle Review & Giveaway (3 WINNERS)

We are a big fan of Gorton's Seafood so I'm really excited to review and host another giveaway for them. My kids don't really like fish so much except for their fish sticks. They love Gorton's Fish sticks.

This time we had a chance to try their grilled variety and once again very impressed with them. My husband and I really enjoyed them. My favorite is the grilled tilapia and my husband loved the grilled salmon. I really like that they are all natural and naturally contain Omega-3s. They only contain 80 to 130 per serving. They are also very easy to prepare.

Right now they are currently running their “100 Days of Sizzle Sweepstakes” on their Facebook page from now to September 7, 2011!

We’re celebrating summer with our lighter fare – Gorton’s delicious Grilled Seafood. Join the celebration and enter our 100 Days of Sizzle promotion!

We will be drawing 10 winners every day for 100 days - each will win a FREE product coupon for 1 Gorton’s Grilled Seafood item! 1 Grand Prize Winner Each Month! A custom Gorton’s beach bag made from recycled sails by Gloucester’s own Second Wind Sails! Each bag comes filled with summer beach essentials - an Amazon Kindle 3G, an Amazon Gift Card, and a Fisherman’s Beach Towel ($400 value)!

Meet Sophia

Finally last week I gave birth to my baby girl Sophia. I can't believe I now have three daughters. One of the best thing about having three girls is shopping for girls clothes, especially dresses. Emma and Olivia always want to wear dresses even when they are at home. So I can never have enough dresses for them. I always look for clothes that are affordable and well made. And of course they have to be cute! It has to be good quality and that would last so it can be passed on once Olivia outgrows it.

I usually do my shopping online. It is so much easier and convenient. I don't have to worry about my kids running around the store or a baby crying.

I recently came across Tea Collections and fell in love with their girl's dresses. They are cute and unique. Olivia and Emma will definitely love their dresses. Their prices are not so bad either. They are affordable. I haven't exactly shopped or owned their clothing but I heard great reviews about them. They are definitely worth checking out. They offer free shipping on orders over $150 or $7 on everything else.
