My town is having a march of dimes walk April 30th. I was planning on signing up with some friends and trying to convince my friends and family to donate. Then I was thinking that maybe I could use my blog to help out. I've seen other blogs have sponsors donate items for silent auctions for items, and then have the profits go to an organization of some kind. I thought about doing that, but I have no idea how willing people would be to participate. Another idea I had was to get companies to sponsor Read more [...]

I'm a natural worrier. When I first heard about acupressure and it's potential for relieving stress, I was very interested. I love natural techniques for solving problems, and had wanted to try it out. So when I heard that Yantra makes acupressure mats that you simply lay on, I knew I had to try one out. I received the medium sized yantra mat for review. When it arrived I was surprised by two things. The first being, how sharp the points seemed, and the second was how small the discs are. From seeing Read more [...]

A couple of years ago when I was getting ready to go to my junior prom, I was so excited. I even joined the prom committee so that I could have my say in the decorations, the DJ and everything in between. However, once it got time to go dress shopping, I quickly grew discouraged. At barely 5 foot tall, I've always felt silly in floor length dresses. For the typical short person, a floor length dress can make you seem taller. However, when you're as short as me they just seem to make you look like Read more [...]

I have somewhat of a unique personality. I love monsters, dinosaurs, and just about any functional product that is made into a monkey, rabbit, bear, etc. I love the current trend of animal hats. I also am a big fan of Spencers. Spencers is an awesome place to find really unique products for all kinds of people. However, when most people think of spencers they think of adult gifts. My first thoughts are gag gifts, lingerie and band t shirts. A couple of years ago I found the perfect band shirt at Read more [...]

I love finding crafts to make with items I already have laying around the house. It's a great way to be eco-friendly and it saves money as well. I first heard about Megan Nicolay's Generation T books a couple of years ago from a friend I have who also enjoys repurposing items into new crafts. The generation t books are tutorials for clothing, accessories, household items and more than can be made from old t shirts. I received Generation t 120 ways to transform a t shirt for review and I love it. Read more [...]

Hi guys, I have an assignment where I need to interview a psychologist before April 22nd. I've tried contacting local psychologists but they all have said that they are too busy. If any of you are psychologists or know someone who is who would be willing to do a phone or email interview with me I would really appreciate it. It's a huge grade for my psychology class. I have a lot of questions to ask them but if they wanted to do it via email I could just send them the list of questions and have Read more [...]

I didn't win anything last year, but I did have a blogger contact Read more [...]
