Taking Care of Those Pesky Pests

I have ants…and I HATE THEM!! The apartment complex has supposedly sent someone out to our apartment to do something about the little creepers, but they still haven’t gone away.

The Gym, Better Known as Home

What excuse have you used about working out recently?

Letting the Money Go

When spending one single dime, my parent’s taught me to squeeze as much out of that dime as possible. Everything from heading straight to the back of clothing stores for sales, to using a coupon if you can, paying full price for things almost never happened growing up. You may be on this same track, […]

Keep the Food Fresh!

Don’t know if you’ve encountered this recently, but I can’t stand when you buy fresh fruits and veggies, just to turn around 5 days later and see them already getting icky (especially spinach lately)!!

The Magic of Mayo

or the longest time growing up, I would eat anything EXCEPT for condiments on my sandwiches, hotdogs, or other foods similar. I guess my thought was I wanted to  taste  the bread, meat, and cheese concoction I was about to enjoy…or you could call me weird. As I’ve grown into adult world, the pallet has changed, […]
