Suddenly Allergic: What Causes Allergies Later in Life?

Some people develop allergies in childhood, some are born with allergies to medications and certain foods and some people suddenly find themselves experiencing allergy symptoms to things that never bothered them before. Why do we suddenly develop reactions to products and surroundings we have enjoyed in the past? Women report their favorite cosmetics suddenly cause rashes. Men and women both claim a sudden onset of coughing and sneezing around the ten-year old family pet. Others complain they ache and feel overly tired after a brief time in a large department store. If any of these reports sound familiar, you may be experiencing chemical overload. Protecting your liver is vital to living a healthy life.

Upromise Dream Wall – Pride and Midlife Wisdom

Upromise Dream Wall – Pride and Midlife Wisdom

This post brought to you by UPromise. All opinions are 100% mine. Today, reward programs are more popular than ever.  Whether it is cash back, points, coupons or percentage discounts it appears as though every financial institution offers a reward program. Midlife delivers a certain amount of wisdom. Pride does not pay the bills much less make a tough financial situation better. You see Hubby would never ever use a coupon for ANY purchase EVER. Period. In contrast, by my registering for reward program, and clipping coupons for most of our married life, our family enjoyed vacation upgrades, choice dinners, and live shows. When it came time to help our youngest son with college expenses, the economy was on the downslide. Hubby and I both worried how we could possibly be of assistance. Mom had signed up for Upromise, which paid for two terms of books. Midlife wisdom, along with tough times changed his view. In fact and was...

Shopping Alert | Dell Best Selling Desktop Deals

Shopping Alert | Dell Best Selling Desktop Deals

Do more. Share more. Be more. The Dell Inspiron 620 is currently one of the best deals available, especially for a home based business. Dell boasts, “With the latest 2nd Gen Intel® Core™ processors, you’ll whiz through tasks with time to spare.” My first Dell purchase was six or seven years ago. My son was ecstatic, Dude you’re getting a Dell! In fact, I customized the very computer in the video. Dell’s customer service is superior and far exceeded my expectations. This particular computer survived four years of high school, recording heavy metal sound tracks, LAN gaming parties, and three years of college with about five apartment moves. The computer was still running good until a lightening during a heavy Florida thunderstorm zapped it last summer. Throughout the years, Dell NEVER refused us free service. They always assisted with restoring issues and even provided restore downloads when the discs were too old and scratched to use. For additional savings...

Google+ First Impression | Top Women Bloggers 2011

Google+ First Impression | Top Women Bloggers 2011

Can you imagine how exited the midlife woman was to be invited AND get in Google+? Thanks to Gera for the invite, my much-anticipated entry was granted. Woo Hoo. Happy Dance. Bartender, a round of drinks for everyone, I’m in! Using Google+ for about a month now, I thought you might enjoy my Journey of Circles and an introduction to a few Google+ 2011 Top Women Bloggers. The Google+ news from my favorite bloggers – Google+ Cheat Sheet, How to be Less Annoying in Google+, and 50 Bloggers Worth Following on Google+  had me raring to get in. Yet, and in part due to extensive reading and anticipation, my first impression of Google+ was not as expected.  In fact, after a few days of using Google+ I found it rather boring. What’s more, learning this first impression was common among my invites who were less informed bloggers – comments such as “Still trying to figure this out Kathy” and “I’m here,...

My Dream Beach Party

My Dream Beach Party

I had the opportunity to review invitationbox.com beach party invitaitons. It was tough for me to be excited about this review knowing I won’t be throwing a beach party any time soon.  For one, the sun is brutal here and secondly midlife changes keep me far away from the beach, which is truly ironic for a Floridian to say but it’s true. There was a time when I loved the sun and cherished time on the beach. It’s amazing how the twist and turns of life  can radically change our passions and past times. Anyway, IF I was throwing a beach party there would have to be lots of umbrellas, sunscreen and of course a Tiki Bar with live music. Not the usual Hawaiian Tiki Hut Music. Maybe some Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffet, or perhaps even some 70s rock…. Jager Bombs, Margaritas, and Shooters with plenty of BBQ Ribs and Chicken. You get the idea right?     This is the perfect...

Upromise College Rewards Celebrates 10th Anniversary

Upromise College Rewards Celebrates 10th Anniversary

This post brought to you by UPromise. All opinions are 100% mine. Midlife has brought about a new lifestyle, qualifying me for The Sandwich Generation inclusion. Yes, I am included in the ever-growing generation who simultaneously care for parents and children. This cultural shift in combination with the horrible economy nearly made college unattainable for my youngest son, which brings me to share a bit about Upromise. Upromise is a reward program that can help parents pay for college. This month Upromise is celebrating its 10th Anniversary in a big way! Hard to believe I have been a member for ten years. Upromise Dream Sweepstakes To celebrate the Upromise 10th anniversary they are giving away $20,000 to users who share their story.

Has Cloud-based Computing Made Employee Relocation Unnecessary?

Has Cloud-based Computing Made Employee Relocation Unnecessary?

Setting all the jargon and the techno-speak aside, there’s no doubt that recent advances in “cloud computing” and “software as a service” (SAAS) have the potential to change the world. As more work becomes exclusively computer-based, and as more business can be conducted over the Internet, workers have greater opportunities to work remotely. As the number of people who can work remotely increases, corporation relocation is sure to raise at least one tough question: Should the corporation relocate employees, or should it allow them to stay where they are and work remotely?   Why Relocating Workers Might Make Sense Relocating employees from one part of the world to another certainly isn’t cheap, but it might be more cost-effective than allowing employees to work remotely. According to a study by VitalSmarts, a corporate training company, employees working remotely are more likely to have problems relating to co-workers than employees who share an office. While many would dispute this study’s findings,...

Budget Friendly PrePaid Cell Phones

Budget Friendly PrePaid Cell Phones

This post brought to you by Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine. The news headlines are saturated with budget proposals, financial arguments, and economic panic strategies this week. A certain amount of financial wisdom is earned along with those midlife wrinkles you know. Common sense articulates budget cuts with a reduced family income. However, midlife wisdom demands nonessential items stricken from the budget at the onset, now and NOT later. Of course, communications are vital on a personal and business level. A helpful solution to expensive, long-term cell phone contracts is downgrading to a pay as you go, no contract cell phone.  Straight Talk is an affordable and smart alternative to contract restrictive cell phone plans. Exclusive to Walmart, these phones have become especially popular since the economic downturn began over three years. As many family incomes have been reduced and inconsistent, Straight Talk allows for that financial flexibility. The plan offers a wide variety of premium brands...
