The Oransi fridge air purifier was made with me in mind. Seriously. No more musty. Occassionally there is a smell, and whatever is causing that gets thrown out, but with all the JUNK that lives in my fridge, Oransi has allowed it to remain decent smelling and feeling. Things seem fresher, or more crisp even. Vegetables look better, I think.

I love Oransi, and I’m so glad I got introduced to it. It’s been awesome for my sometimes overstocked, and often undercleaned fridge.

What’s the longest time something’s stayed in your fridge?

Keep informed. It’s pretty easy to do with the click of a button.

The Freescore commercial recently released is somewhat entertaining, so for some entertainment value take a look at it. It’s a short, 60 second commercial. I’d love to know what you think, especially with all the other credit report commercials out there that I’m sure everyone has seen air in the last few years. Some are entertaining, and some are downright silly. No? Anyway, I had a little laugh while watching this one.

I have tried to start using coupons in the past couple of months. I can remember my grandma using coupons for everything when I was little and she has tried to teach me her method of couponing several times, but it has taken a lot of effort for me to actually do it myself. I have several friends at work that save a ton of money by using coupons, so I decided that I should try to save some money for my family too. One of my friends told me about a coupon website that she uses, so I decided that since we have 4g internet that I should try it. I still will have to continue buying one or two Sunday papers each week, but hopefully by using the website in conjunction with my paper, I will be able to save a lot of money. I glanced over the website last night and found out that I have not been using my coupons to their full potential. I have never combined the manufacture coupons with sales and store coupons, and apparently this is how to save the greatest amount of money. I think I will try this for next week’s groceries.

Enjoy the video below. I’d love to hear your thoughts after watching. If you’d like to share them, please leave a comment below.

I purchased these lovely slacks from the Kardashion Kollection, pictured below (marked down just $34.99)

compare to these, retailing for $297                                or                        these also at $297

I bought these lace up boots, also from the Kardashian Kollection (marked down just $29.99).

Compare to these variations, retailing for $425                         or                    these at $375

The products I bought were a total steal, at between $30-35 a piece!

In these hard times, when we want to continue to look good, who has the money to spend on the high end looks, when you can look just as good by shopping at Sears! I’m very excited to show off my look, and I am very happy with the look and quality of these stylish products!

I have to say that I wasn’t impressed with the outcome after using the products, and felt that they were ineffective for my personal skin care needs. My skin is somewhat needy; I am concerned about fine lines, I need a skin brightening system, and I’m also concerned about my skin’s sensitivity. The products didn’t make a difference after their application. I also didn’t particularly like the feel of either product on my skin. The cleanser didn’t make my skin feel clean, and the serum didn’t seem to provide any nourishing benefits. I saw no difference, good or bad, after using the products; so personally I don’t have a lot to say about sampling them. I do realize, however, that everyone has different skin care needs.

I am always in search of great skin care. On this topic, I had the pleasure and the opportunity to try some products that will transform your skin. I don’t know how else to describe them.

I was breezing through BAZAAR magazine last month, and reading up on beauty products when Amanda Lacey’s Camelia Oil caught my eye on a page. I contacted Amanda Lacey and asked them if they would let me do a review. I was delighted to hear that they would be sending me a few of their products to sample. This is a London based skin care company, if you would like to read more about Amanda Lacey you can do so here.

I was sent three products from their Starter Kit (pictured above) the Cleansing Pomade, the Persian Rosewater, and the Camelia Oil. The cleansing pomade works wonders, it doesn’t simply remove makeup; it nourishes your skin.

The Persian Rosewater is a reviving splash, apply it to cleansed skin in the morning, like I did. I loved the feel, and wonderful smell, of it.

The Camelia Oil is unbelievable. Put it on at night, you will wake up with fantastic looking skin. I couldn’t stop looking at my refreshed looking face in the mirror. These are rich, carefully formulated products that work to give you the skin you have always dreamed about.

I am so happy to have had a chance to try these wonderful products, and to be able to share my opinion with you all. I will continue to use them in between my other skin care to stretch out my supply; they transformed my skin, and will transform yours too.

Thank you Amanda Lacey.

One part in your book I loved and my heart sank at is when your fiance lost your $7500 ring. What’s your advice for those moms out there who are distracted by a relationship? How do you balance a real life with your dreams?

I never was able to balance. Each person has to make their own decisions. But remember, your competitors aren’t sitting by idly waiting for you to have a nice dinner with your significant other.

They are trying to kick your ass. So choose wisely.

Mark, you mentioned that you were approached countless times to write a memoir but instead chose to ePublish. Why?

The time obligations of a traditional release were more than I was willing to undertake. I couldn’t ask for advances and then not want to do a book tour. Plus, the editorial deadlines were much more forgiving. I made changes hours before the final release.

You have three kids. What life lessons do you give them so that they don’t go through all the heartache that you’ve gone through?

That is a life-long process . My oldest daughter is just 8, so we are still dealing with the basics. But I try to do some things in my businesses that are great for my kids. For instance, we changed the programming on HDNet Movies so that every morning we run commercial-free, kid and family-friendly movies. I was mad that my kids always were so excited about commercials they saw in their favorite shows
that I wanted to give them a commercial-free environment.

One of my favorite parts of your book, How to Win at the Sport of Business, that completely broke my heart was when your ex-secretary robbed your first company of over $83,000, leaving you only $2000 after a year of work. If there are moms out there that have lost everything, what advice do you have for them to pick themselves back up?

Keep working. Don’t feel sorry for yourself because it won’t do any good.

There are many young moms who are just beginning their lives and can relate to you when you said you were sharing a small apartment with 6 people and sleeping on the floor. How can someone keep their eye on the prize when they’re living on Ramen noodles?

Who cares how you are living today? I loved every minute of living in that dump. The low rent and utilities and eating Mac n’ Cheese all the time allowed me to afford the startup of my business. Instead of paying myself much, I could put it in to my business.

Where can we get a copy of your eBook, How to Win at the Sport of Business?

Anywhere eBooks are sold: Amazon, BN.com, and sites that support independent bookstores too.
