Alex (Jenn) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:49:06 +0000

So, things have beden a little crazy around here and I’ve gotten behind. Suprise, suprise…..

Today, I’m just going to share a couple places I think you should visit. Not that I want to tell you what to do, but really, you should visit these places. Really. Convinced yet?

You can win a full charm bracelet and 4 charms of your choice – a nearly $30 value! Debbi is a great lady and she sells great stuff. Sassy Give a Way! Charms n Things italian charms

The second place I think you need to see is RedHeadRanting.com. Jenn is crazy! But she’s nice. Just like most of us redheads, she’s a little radical and very opinionated, but that alone makes for great reading. She’s also down to earth and a single mom of 2, with 1 dog. Maybe I like her because she sounds so much like me? nah…….National Cupcake Day and Websites to Avoid

Today’s Tip – baking soda for teeth

Alex (Jenn) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:46:03 +0000

Did you know that you can use plain old baking soda to clean your teeth? Mix about 3 parts soda to 1 part water to make a paste. Mix in a little bowl, or even in the palm of your hand. Dip your brush in, brush your teeth and rinse as normal. Use the same mixture with more water to rinse with in order to also help freshen your breath.

Coffee house traffic exchange vs EntreCard

Alex (Jenn) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:33:58 +0000

So, EntreCard has not been what I hoped it would be. Even with the multi-drop options and paid ad spots, it just isn’t working out to get more viewers or more comments.

However, this may be working pretty well. My comments have been better since starting this service.

For the same amount of time it was taking me to drop on other blogs through EntreCard, I can browse the coffee house traffic site and get views in return. I’ve been on other traffic exchanges before and I really like this one because it’s for blogs only.

However, it’s new and I need more blogs to look at and read. So, if you run a blog, please come add you site!

Today’s tip – upset stomach?

Alex (Jenn) — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:13:05 +0000

Have a sour stomach or a tad of nausea? Chew on a small slice of ginger root (don’t swallow the root though!) and your sour stomach will be gone!

Or…drop 1 drop only of pure peppermint essential oil in an 8oz glass of water and sip slowly. Make sure it’s essential oil and not fragrance oil.
