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. They are making great strides to become more green in the vineyard as well as the cellar. This means farmers are using as much organic means of fertilization and pest control as possible. They are trying to have the smallest impact on the environment as well as the local ecosystem by using the least amount of synthetic materials possible. Here More >

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 >
Green Savings
Mar 31st
Saving for a rainy day or retirement may be something you know you should do but have not really planned for. This may be especially true if you are low on funds or out of work. If this is true for you then it may be a good time to create a plan in order to keep from getting into this same situation again in the future. You may have made some bad business or investment decisions in the past thinking that the return on your investment would have been much higher or at least not a huge loss.

If you are like me I like to ride in the spring and summertime with my windows down while playing some of favorite songs. The problem is I have a hard time keeping all my favorite CDs in my car. They seem to either become lost under one of the seats or they get scratched up. I ran across something that might be a solution to this problem. It is a playlist that you can help to develop and play in your More >
Electricity Bill
Mar 6th
Content by Kyle Lowe
I got my electricity bill in the mail and there was a note on the back that said if I decided to “go green” and switch to online billing that I could save ten percent every month. Our electric bill is not usually too expensive, but saving ten percent every month will definitely help. I decided to go to exedesatelliteinternet.net and set up a more dependable internet service. I am so glad that I did too. I called my power company and told them that I wanted to switch so that I could save each month. They said More >
Raising Organic Foods
Feb 7th
Have you ever considered raising your own organic foods? Are you tired of purchasing foods at the store which are full of pesticides and other toxins? With spring coming in the next few months it might be a great time to consider raising your own food. Organically grown food at home taste better and is better for you. If you have not grown your own foods before you may consider starting off small. Start by planning a small garden space in your backyard. Make sure to use clean organic soil and try to fertilize with natural or organic fertilizers. You More >

Recently my father-in-law had colon cancer surgery. He had not been to a doctor in approximately 30 years. He had always been healthy and did not take any type medication. It was a shock to him and his family when he found out he had colon cancer and would have to have chemotherapy, radiation and then surgery. The chemotherapy and radiation went fine and so did his surgery except for few complications. The real shock to him came when he was prescribed medications More >

Walgreens and Express Scripts Call It Quits
Jan 15th
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am sure most people have heard of Walgreens pharmacies. Express Scripts, a medical insurance network provider has decided it will no longer pay for prescriptions filled by Walgreens pharmacies nationwide as well as Duane Reade pharmacies in the New York City area. If you have Express Scripts medical insurance then this news could be very inconvenient and troublesome to you. Walgreens and Express Scripts have had a contract up until December 31, 2011. Walgreens tried to negotiate with Express Scripts but failed. As More >
