What I Learned By Going Paleo For 30 Days

Image
By: Ashley Rogers I have always found the Paleo diet intriguing because it is one the most disciplined, structured and time-consuming ways to fuel your body. It also requires constant planning, adaption and in my case, limiting your normal lifestyle to achieve results. Why do people opt for this uber-restrictive, arguably fad, lifestyle of nuts and vegetables? Well I found out after 30 days. I wanted to see why people make this seemingly crazy, restrictive life choice. And to be honest, I was intrigued if I’d see any physical or emotional results because of it. Without a doubt my 30-day Paleo challenge was one of the BEST learning experiences of my life. Not because of the results, but because I actually felt like I LEARNED about food and health. I learned how to read labels. Not just the calories or grams of sugar – no – I learned to really read a label. Did you know there are over 60 hidden names for sugar? And did you know that those names are in almost EVERY...

Should You Buy Travel Cancellation Insurance?

Image
I’m heading to Tokyo next week!  I’ve rented  a pocket WiFi , looked at my Tokyo Travel Guide for a few ideas and bought travel insurance. But I had a lot of doubt on whether I should pay extra to buy Travel CANCELLATION Insurance . First off, medical insurance is a no-brainer. If you’re leaving your home country – you need to buy it, because you don’t want to go bankrupt from foreign medical bills. But travel cancellation is a whole other story. You’re taking a gamble on whether you will have to cancel your trip for any reason such as a medical emergency, illness or death in the family. After polling my friends on Facebook – I decided NOT to buy it.   Here’s why I DID NOT Buy Travel Cancellation Insurance:   1) My Hotel is Refundable –  As long as I cancel within 24-48 hours, I will not be charged. I built the trip myself, therefore I can cancel portions of it if anything were to happen.   2) My Plane Ticket is Flexible –  To an extent. ...

Beauty Favorite: Bio-Oil

Image
A sponsored post. Does your skin feel dry coming out of the winter season? I usually switch to a more intense body moisturizer like Bio-Oil in the winter months to help combat the effects of the dry winter air or too much time on airplanes. However there are some days when I’m just running late or too exhausted (or lazy) to layer on multiple beauty products to keep my skin looking great. Bio-Oil is an amazing all-in-one, multi-tasking product that moisturizes, keeps skin soft and supple while reducing the appearance of stretch marks and scars. Not only does it maximize your skin’s elasticity, but it also works hard to lock in moisture leaving your skin looking and feeling great! You can even use it for a moisturizing bath, to soften your cuticles and to condition chapped lips. Bio-Oil is a great little product to travel with because it solves so many problems in one. Because it’s an oil, my dehydrated skin just sucks up all the product and it doesn’t leave behind an oily res...

How-To Make Money Selling Your Books Online

Image
One of the major things I did after reading Marie Kondo’s book was start paring down my book collection. I have collected so many random things over the years at different stages of my life that there really is no point holding on to all of it. I even shared a few tips on how I sold all my furniture online . So I started googling how I could ‘make money selling your books online’. My best experience was using an aggregator called  BookScouter which lets you compare the prices of what you could get for your book on various sites. I ended up going with CKY Books  which I found through BookScouter because I wanted to just ship to one company and their buyback prices were fair and comparable to the others. I ended up selling back about 12 different paperbacks, hardcovers and textbooks – all were in great condition. The best part is that shipping is free and you can print off a FedEx of USPS or UPS shipping label with your buyback submission. I think I made about $30 off t...

Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color N Review

Image
Hi everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing an item that has been quite popular for a while, the Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color Ns! Today I'm actually going to be reviewing 2 of them. I have done reviews on this item in the past ( you can read it if you click here ) I bought these online and in Hong Kong when I went on my trip a few years ago. I have used these in the past and loved them so much that I had to buy them again! These are great eyeshadows to use if you are in a rush. You can just quickly apply it and it only takes about 2 minutes to do your eye makeup! As usual for Jill Stuart Makeup, the packaging is very princess-like This one is in 07 Jewel Flash Applied with no eye primer And this one is 09 in Midnight Shine. Swatch: Applying: I find it SO easy to apply these, just use your fingers and it blends in! Swatches: I do recommend you use a primer first as the eyeshadows apply on more smoothly. Right eye is with primer and left eye is...
