Give Me Back My Five Bucks

I have another awesome giveaway for you guys! This contest is for Quicken Cash Manager 2010, which is Canada’s #1 Personal Finance software. This is for PCs only – they currently don’t have a Mac version, but I think they might be coming out with one sometime soon. Anyway when I had a PC, Quicken was my go-to personal finance software. I LOVED IT, and whenever anyone asks what I would recommend to track daily finances, I always say Quicken. It really is amazing, and it was a HUGE tool in helping me get out of debt and stay on … Continue reading →

Robie Reid (see picture I took from the logging road). We had to bring large packs with us because we brought our harnesses, rope, helmet, shovel, … Continue reading →

So I went into Sephora on Saturday and spoke to a very helpful woman. She showed me the different products in the Philosophy line, I tried them out, and then walked around the store. I can tell almost immediately if the cream will work for me, and they felt great! I asked for samples, and she suggested that I should just buy what I was looking for and if it didn’t work for me, I could just return it all for a full refund. I guess the sample sizes aren’t big enough to last very long. Which is what they … Continue reading →
