The Green Guide MAGAZINE review


THIS FREE OFFER WAS IN THIS EDITION OF THE NEWSLETTER..........
offer is now expired, so I hope you too got "in" on this awesome magazine
The offer was for a FREE one year of the GREEN GUIDE by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

my first issue ROCKED it was the BTS edition.........
I loved the stories, not too many ads (what a switch) and very informative articles......

I loved the SECOND CHANCES section on how to reuse some items including how to use broken/chipped goblets upside down to make CANDLE HOLDERS
very very pretty , could be done in an arrangement to make a FANTASTIC center piece

also in this issue was how to save $50 a year with basic fridge maintainence
#1 clean your coils
#2 check the temp (appliance thermometer)
#3 test the seal, cose a dollar bill in the door frame and tug gently to see if held firmly in place, if it slides right out , you may need a new seal......... move the dollar bill down a foot and repeat until you have tested the entire door seal

There were many other great articles and info in this magazine if you missed the FREE offer
stay tuned as I will be posting when there is a GDA on it, I will be looking for it cuz I know that I will want to renew (NOT AT FULL PRICE) :)

EBAY tool for sellers PHOTO BOX guest review...

This review was written by AUDREY AT MOMS GENERATIONS .............. AWESEOME REVIEW~!

IF YOU ARE A WORK AT HOME / EBAY SELLER this is for you!

My husband is obsessed with eBay. (OK, I am too.)

He loves the finding items he's been looking for and just bidding away on them.

And when he wins? Well, it's a whole new level of excitement. (Even though in this case, "winning" means having to spend money.)

We have also done very well selling our own stuff on eBay.

So I was surprised a few months ago when I asked him to list some things for me and he wasn't too excited about it.

He said that he wanted to make sure the stuff he put on for me looked professional. You know, so people would actually bid.

He then started looking for something to solve our unprofessional-looking-eBay-photos problem. And he found it in Photo Lighting Studio.

sku # 595983

It's a tabletop photo studio that is perfect for taking pictures of the eBay items we list.

There are 2 backdrops, a compact light box with an integrated diffuser screen and 2 high output lights.

It's our very own photo studio. So if we need good photos of jewelry? Baseball cards? Collectibles? Clothing? Accessories? (All things we sell on eBay...)

Done. Done. Done. Done. And done.

And we get to use our own little digital camera. There isn't any special camera required. But the photos still looks great.

Fantastic, really... if I do say so myself.
