Written Section Revamp Plan

by

I want to do a complete overhaul on the written section for where my writings go, For the Paranormal Effect and other stories each novel will have its own layout and character bios, ect. I think it will help me motivate to write more if it looks better. Poetry and Opinions will have a separate page. I will work on some layout options this week coming up and post them as I do them.

Product Review >> Mask Remover Sponges

by

Like survey site reviews, I only review products and services that I have personally used. These are my personal opinions, good and bad. I have not been paid to give my opinions, good, bad or otherwise.

The Product: Mask Remover Sponges by EcoTools

Price: $2.49 for two pack, buy here at target

I got this product in a walmart beauty box over the summer I believe and I placed them aside for awhile, Lately I have been really into face masks and using a wash cloth is a pain in the ass and really messy. I’ve been looking for an easier way to remove the hardened masks from my face without the mess so I pulled one of these out and it worked wonderfully. The mask came off with ease, just added a little bit of warm water. The sponge was easy to rinse off and drying time was really fast.

I can see myself stocking up on these and using them for washing my face too, they are thin and easy to handle. Five stars all the way.

Personal Update

by

I have been dealing with a respiratory infection for the past two weeks which has made it extremely difficult for me to be on the computer for long periods of time doing anything more then checking email. I have been sleeping a lot, doing a lot of breathing treatments and binge watching tv shows, movies and reading.

The up and down weather and all the rain has also left me in a lot of pain, my knees have been bothering me something fierce. I can make promises about blogging more but honestly I never know what I will be doing or what will come up so I won’t bother. If you subscribe to updates via email, you will get my entries in your email..otherwise keep checking my social media, Links get shared every time I post.

Now that it is warmer outside I want to get outside and do some walking, I gained a bit of weight over the winter and i’m not happy with myself. It’s more painful the heavier I am on my knees and harder for me to breathe. I also want to quit smoking and be smoke free by August.

 

April Recap and May Post Goals

by

In April I posted five times and was dealing with a lot of offline stress, for May I am starting a new job and will be busy with that. I want to get at least one survey site review done and two product reviews.

I did four survey site reviews last month:

Survey Site Review ; YouGov

by

Today I am reviewing the survey site YouGov – http://yougov.com/

 

I have been a member of this site for about a year now, it’s a fun site…all surveys are based within the site and they send survey emails a couple of times a week. You can also vote and review your favorite movies, tv shows, actors, ect. You can give your opinion on real world issues, you need 25000 to cash out and they offer many gift cards. The first time you cash out they will send you a physical gift card but afterward you should be able to get them through email.

 

I’m not feeling that great today, I’m having problems breathing but I wanted to get this review up as I received my first gift card in the mail yesterday. 

Survey Site Review ; TellUWut

by

TellUWut – https://www.tellwut.com/

 

I’ve been using this survey site for almost three years now, it’s fun. They have questions you can answer daily to rack up points as well as surveys they send through email that are off-site. You need 4000 points to cash out, if you get on the site daily it’s not hard to rack those points up. They offer gift cards and the very first time you cash out they will send the gift card via postal mail, to make sure you are a real person. After that, you will start getting them through email.

This is not one of my top survey sites as I like the ones who pay via paypal, but it is still high on my list. I’ve never had an issue getting paid.

Five online trends that need to die

by

In my humble opinion these are the five things that I am really sick of seeing/hearing about

 

Unicorn everything: I’m not sure if this started with starbucks making weird nasty tasting frappacinos or if it started on instagram. Can this end though? every time I get on twitter someone is making unicorn something, just let this die.

 

Eating non food items for followers/video views/attention: You can tell me that people weren’t eating tide pods and that it was a joke, but this “joke” caught fire and some people were actually eating tide pods…it got to the point where the news and tide had to put a warning on their products. That is just sad as hell.

 

Internet Challenges:  Why would people set themselves on fire and get in the shower quickly? an internet challenge and stupidity would be my guess. Start an challenge to do some good and raise money for a charity, something safe.

 

Blogging for money: I get it, I do. A lot of people make money blogging, actually they are making money selling their products on their blogs or from ads, not the actual blogging. Those “moms” posting the blue host links are getting commission from you buying your own domain name and space. There are other ways to make money online.

 

This last one isn’t really a trend it just annoys the hell out of me and that is Online bullying mostly as it pertains to mental health and/or transgender individuals. You don’t have to “get it” or understand don’t put others down for their choices.

 

 

Survey Site Review >> MySoapBox

by

I have been using My Soap Box ; https://www.mysoapbox.com/ for about two years now and just recently noticed I had so many points and was able to cash out, I’ve already been paid 150 dollars in amazon gift cards and am still waiting for them to pay me over another hundred dollars. My point is it’s easy to get up to their 25000 point cash out fee to be paid the first time and not notice you did.

They do not offer paypal as a cash out option, but they do offer a number of gift cards including amazon, starbucks, walmart or you can donate your earnings as well. I’ve done surveys for this company, been invited to join exclusive communities, did two app reviews and a couple product reviews.

This is one of my top go to survey sites, they send emails when there are new surveys too.

Survey Site Review >> Product Report Card

by

I’ve been using Product Report card for over two years now and have been paid by them once, Their customer service is awesome. When I cashed out they were having issues with their paypal and they reached out to me to get my mailing address and I received a check for the same amount. I’ve heard people get products to test through them but I haven’t gotten any yet, I do have several products I have at home registered through their site.

To cash out they offer paypal, check and I believe gift cards. You need at least twenty five dollars to cash out but I would recommend the site. They send emails when there are new surveys so as long as you stay on top of your email you should be able to make money with this site.
