Network Marketing Company Without Start-up Costs

Have you ever been approached by someone to sell products or have been told that you will be a great seller for products they promote?  

I have have been approached dozens of times!  There are many times that I actually loved the product, but could not afford or did not want to pay the start-up cost!  Now, why do I have to pay someone to advertise their products?  If I am going to do work for them, they should be paying me, right?

Well, I recently signed up to promote Lily Bean & Baxter.  I looked at their on-line catalog and loved the products, so I purchased something and loved it!  Yes, it is a network marketing company without start-up costs, no purchase necessary, no quotas, no minimum purchases for commission and the only requirement is YOU MUST LIKE their products to promote them!  I personally have to like the products before I go off promoting them!  So, here is what I did...I bought an item on clearance/sale just to make sure I liked the quality of items displayed.  As soon as I got my product, I loved it and signed up immediately!

Anyway, here are some of their sample items and current promotions!  Click on any image to browse the on-line store, if you like something, buy it.  If you like what you purchased, you can sign-up to promote Lily Bean & Baxter to make some extra money!

"Wizard of Oz" - An IMAX 3-D Experience

This past weekend was the debut of the "Wizard of Oz" - An IMAX 3-D Experience.  Of course this was something that sparked mine and my husband's interest!  My husband and I are not frequent movie-goers given that we think it is too pricey and there is always something better to do that we do not have to spend to much money doing!  We have lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for almost 5 years and have only been to the movie theater a total of 3 times.  I particularly like to get creative with things-to-do, so I consider the moves a last-place option for entertainment.  Once him and I heard about the "Wizard of Oz" premiering in 3-D for the first time, we were really excited!  The best part of it all was that this would be our 4 year-old daughter's first movie theater experience and going to an IMAX theater would make it even more exciting!  We were so excited that we even bought tickets ahead of time, in case it would be a sold-out event.

Of course we pumped it up for our daughter, so she would get excited about her first movie theater experience.  She was definitely looking forward to it.  As soon as we got to the movie theater, we took photos with the large movie poster, got her a booster seat and we sat through the previous, then it was time to put on our 3-D glasses.  Movie trailers for upcoming IMAX/3-D movies and it looked so cool, so she was really looking forward to the movie.

Was it worth it to watch the "Wizard of Oz" in 3-D?

The movie started and it was neat for the first 20-30 minutes.  After that, I forgot I was watching it in 3-D.  The movie is such an old movie that was not originally created for 3-D, so there were no real special effects that made it any different than watching it on DVD in the comfort of my own home.  If it was not for the fact that this made my daughter's first movie theater experience exciting, we would not have wasted the money to watch it.  IMAX was $12 per person (including my 4 year-old) + $6 for a bag of popcorn!  It was not worth the $40+ we spent as a family to watch this movie.  To reiterate...this movie was a complete waste of money, no added special effects that made me love the 3-D experience of it all. 

PARENTS: Do not waste your money, unless you are a "Wizard of Oz" movie junkie!  Buy, rent or borrow the "Wizard of Oz" movie and watch it in the comforts of home, where you can provide your own snacks, stop/rewind/forward movie whenever you want.

Are you tired of the same 'ole gifts for Dad?  Here are some FRESH ideas that Dad will surely love!!

If the Dad in my family is anything like the Dad in my family he will love a LIVE, Maine Lobster for dinner!!  Is you mouth watering yet?  Well, mine does after each time I look at the "Lobster Anywhere" site!  I have always been a lobster-lover.  I have never trusted a lobster that is not straight from the source!  Maine is know for their large lobsters!  Unfortunately, not everyone can get to Maine for some LIVE Maine Lobster, so the next best thing is that they will ship directly to you.





Place your order on a weekday (Monday thru Thursday before their cut-off time) and you will receive the very next business day!  The last time we ordered a lobster, we got a 5-lbs one and it took my husband and I two dinners to finish the lobster!  The claws were enormous!!  This is my favorite pick for Dad!  Do not order anywhere else by from "Lobster Anywhere".

Community Coffee: Lemonade Smoothie Review

Community Coffee: Lemonade Smoothie

Hi All!  For those that love Community Coffee drinks and products...I sampled their Lemonade Smoothie, while they had given out some samples during my last visit.  I just have to say, "save yourself the $3+ and the calories for the drink".  Here is what I think...it is too sweet...definitely more sugar than anything else!!

TRY THIS, NOT THAT:  water, ice & lemon and if you choose to sweeten it up, pour a bit of honey into it and even blend it for that slushie texture!!

I have always been against drinks high in sugar, so it has been about 15 years now since I have given up sodas; I do not buy my family and none of us ever order at a restaurant.  It is great to know that I have saved myself from the empty calories - calories that do not help with the overall function of my body and of course the money!  Myself and my family have saved a lot of money all these years grocery shopping & eating out by not purchasing/ordering sodas and other drinks with empty calories.

While we are on the topic of "saving money".  Check out my blog post about how to "Save With Groupon".  Find out how Groupon has saved me and my family money and how it can save you, too!!
