It’s been 2 1/2 months and my husband is still out of work! Boy things are getting tight around here.
So I am once again expanding the site where I sell online.
I now am working on stores on 2 more sites and would love for you to take a peek
Alternative Auction Site October 4, 2008
The auction world can be a fun and exciting place.
Many started their selling and buying experience on Ebay, but things
are changing.
For the seller it is getting harder and harder on Ebay.
The recent changes have had sellers totally frustrated.
The fees have gone up, sellers can no longer leave negative feedback
for bad buyers or non paying bidders, limits have been set on what can be
charged to ship certain items and now sellers will no longer be able to
accept any form of payment except PayPal (owned by Ebay)
All these changes also mean that it is harder for good buyers to find
great deals.
Because of all these changes more and more buyers and sellers are looking at alternative auction sites.
After checking out numerous alternative sites I have decided to make milbid
my primary Ebay alternative.
Milbid.com offers me an easy to use platform, no fees to list, no fees to set up a store, no final value fees! You can also use a large variety of payment options. Contact with the admin of the site is easy and the forum is full of members eager to help the sellers succeed.
Milbid also has a clear cut mission
The first is to help in support of the Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, and
Marines
that we ask to defend our freedom, everyday life, and the ones we
love.
The second part is to give buyers and sellers a true alternative in
buying
and selling instead of being laced with fees and hassles.
Weaning off of Ebay is not an easy task for most of us, but with alternative
sites like milbid.com the idea becomes less scary. A future without Ebay becomes a real possibility.
Tips For The Winter Season October 2, 2008
The jack-o-lantern on your doorstep may do more
than just scare away a few ghosts. . .it may scare off cancer, too! Pumpkin is rich in beta carotene and other carotenoids that help your body fight cancer, including breast cancer, and help prevent cataracts. Beta carotene can also be converted to vitamin A—when the body needs it—which boosts the immune system and is essential for healthy skin and vision. Watkins All-Natural Pumpkin Butter will provide nearly 100% of your daily requirement for Vitamin A. Now, that should get you pumped!

As the temperature and humidity drop, so does your skin’s moisture level. Cold air and dry indoor heat can cause dry, itchy, irritated skin. Hands and other exposed areas often become cracked and even painful due to their exposure to outdoor cold and indoor heat. Now is the time to start protecting your skin from these harsh elements, and Watkins has whipped up something truly special—a Lemon Crème Shea Butter that smells as good as it feels. Shea butter, cocoa butter and five nourishing, skin-softening oils—apricot kernel, avocado, coconut, jojoba and macadamia nut—are whipped together for a smooth, “spreadable” body butter that is absorbed quickly, leaving no oily feel. It protects the skin from harsh elements while sealing in natural moisturizers, leaving skin incredibly soft and smooth. The rich, fresh lemon scent smells so good, there ought to be a lemon law against this!

Good nutrition, or lack of it, can affect all parts of your body, including your outward appearance. Creams and conditioners moisturize and protect, but long-lasting beauty that is more than just skin-deep requires an “inside” job. To keep skin moist and reduce sagging, drink plenty of water. To plump up skin cells and reduce appearance of wrinkles, get plenty of zinc, copper and vitamin C, which are essential for collagen formation. Omega 3 and essential fatty acids help to keep skin and hair moisturized, and antioxidants from grapes and green tea protect from the aging process. If this seems like a lot to swallow, Watkins Skin, Hair and Nails supplement contains all of these ingredients, plus more, to keep your skin, hair and nails looking their best. For those of us who may be experiencing a wrinkle in time, Watkins Skin Hair & Nails may be just what we need to save face!

Did you know the average adult gets 2 to 4 colds per year and children get even more? That’s over 160 to 320 colds in an 80 year life span! Attempts to develop a cold vaccine have not yet been successful because there are over 200 different strains of viruses, and immunity wears off over time. Antibiotics are useless against the common cold because they work against bacteria—not viruses. It’s a cold hard fact that there is still no cure or vaccine for the common cold. Fortunately, there are natural alternatives that can be useful in guarding against these seasonal discomforts. Watkins Rezist Plus, taken daily, has helped hundreds of people simply “blow off” cold and sinus symptoms all year long. It contains a blend of natural ingredients, including ImmunEnhancer, shown to be twice as effective as echinacea in boosting the immune system. Our customers with recurring sinus problems and allergies won’t leave home without it—and that’s nothing to sneeze at!
