Being Hacked Can Wreck Your Life
Oct 3rd
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LifeLock Twitter for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I have many customers which rely heavily on their email to do business. Last week one of my customer’s email accounts was hacked. It was truly devastating and interrupted his life. He lost access to his email account as well as his contact list. The hacker sent out the normal scam email to everyone in his contact list asking for money, stating he had been mugged in a foreign country and needed money to get home. I knew it was a scam More >
Green Wines
Jul 29th
Eco-friendly wines seem to only make sense doesn’t it? Wineries should try to help save the environment since their even existence depends on it. Well, some wineries are catching on and starting to do their part to go green. There are many portions of the wine producing process, from the vineyard to the cellar, which can take advantage of green procedures. Grape producing farmers can use organic means of fertilization and pest control. This helps them to have the smallest impact on the local ecosystem by refraining from using large amounts of synthetic materials.
There are many more procedures which can use More >
Need Summertime Energy
Jul 13th
If you feel you need a boost in energy during the summertime months then I think I have found exactly what you need. Nopalea, a wellness drink pronounced “No-pah lay’uh”, is a drink made from the fruit of the Nopal cactus (Opuntia Ficus Indica). The Nopal cactus has been used for many centuries by native people for healing benefits as well as an energy boost. It has been reported to counteract toxins and inflammation in the body. The potent antioxidants which it contains have been scientifically proven to help with inflammation reduction. This gives Nopalea the ability to alleviate muscle, More >

Jul 3rd
Pollution is all around us, in the rivers and streams, on our landscape and even in the air. We all do not like the way it looks but are you doing your part to alleviate pollution? Here are a couple ideas on how you can help. As simple as these sound it is really surprising how many people do not think about them. First, make sure to keep a trash bag in your automobile. I have one I purchased, a soft sided one which attaches with Velcro to the headrest around the back of the passenger seat. This gives me More >

Every time my computer acts up I want to say “bad computer please act right”. Well that doesn’t really help but it makes me feel better. The reason it acts poorly is because I am a huge multi-tasker. I always have about one hundred Firefox tabs open plus my word processor, spreadsheets and other web browsers all at the same time. My poor computer just runs out of memory which makes it write to the hard drive constantly. When I view the Windows More >

Wines Go Green
Apr 20th
When you drink a glass of wine you may not think if the winery is a green winery or not. After several glasses you may have that thought even less but wine makers have decided to become more earth friendly.

Home Investments
Apr 8th
I appreciate the guest post, Jewel Rodgers
I just got an email from HomeSECURITYSystems.com with a list of all their specials and services they have going on right now. I’d like to consider doing that for our home. To me, it is an investment in peace of mind. The other thing I’d like to do is install those energy efficient windows in all the windows in the house. Similar to the alarm system I want to get, I think the windows would be an investment. Sure, it costs some money, but think of how much it will save us in the long More >
