Why I Love A Swiss Army Knife
- by Holly
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Swiss Army Knives . All opinions are 100% mine.
I have used a Swiss army knife a few times over the course of my lifetime. You really just can not beat what they have to offer and the new Dual Pro X has so many cool gadgets for me to play with that I can’t help but want to buy this. You can check out the spicifics by clicking the link and if you really love Swiss Army Knifes you can like the Facebook fan page and get updates.
Really think about it, what could you come up with to fix or do if you had access to all of this:
One-Hand Locking Blade- One-Hand Serrated Locking Seat Belt Cutter
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Can Opener with
- Small Screwdriver
- Bottle Opener with
- Large Locking Screwdriver
- Wire Stripper
- Reamer
- Key Ring
I know I could come up with a few things. Camping, helping my friend the firefighter, oh this would make a great gift for him, and doing some home improvement work with that wire stripper. Really if you think about it there is a ton that you can accomplish with this nice little device, and you don’t even need a man to help you. A real women is after all only as helpful as her stubbornness allows and as good as the tools she uses.

I Can Finally Get My Glasses!
- by Holly
I’m very very excited as today I will be ordering my new glasses from Zenni Optical. I’m excited because I really do love these glasses and you can’t beat the price. I did manage to find my old pair, but the prescription is wrong so I do need to order a new pair. This time I’m getting a pair that has sunglasses. I think it would be better then just getting a cheaper pair. I use my glasses a lot and I would need the sunglasses more then I wouldn’t.
So far I have had no problems with any of the glasses I have ordered from Zenni, I’ve gotten them quickly and they have all withstood the test of time. I also tell friends about them all of the time and they are all very happy too. I know your thinking, sure you have to be lying. I’m not, honest. They really do have good customer service and everyone is very happy with them. Plus you really can’t beat the prices, I mean where else can you find eyeglasses for under $10?
Of course since I’m getting the pair of glasses with sunglasses that means I can’t get the funky styles like the one I have shown here, but maybe I should think about an extra pair? At the prices Zenni has I just may do that!

Movie Night In, Whenever You Want It
- by Holly
I have been a big fan of BLOCKBUSTER and their online service for a few years now. I started out using netflix, but found that it was more expensive and if I happened to be close to a video store I still went in and got something. When I switched over to blockbuster I was in heaven I could still stop at the vedio store when I was around one, not often, but often enough and get a new movie!
Now they have done one better then that! Blockbuster now has an online service where you can watch the movies right from your computer and if your like me you can hook up your computer to your TV and watch movies on the big screen whenever you want, okay I don’t have a big screen but a girl can dream right? I can hook it up to a bigger TV then my 15″ monitor so that make me happy.
I got rid of the service because I was busy with classes but since summer is almost here I think I may just sign up again and catch all those great movies I missed. There were a lot since I have spent most of my time doing homework and reading text books. Not as much fun a curling up on the sofa with a good movie and a big (or small) bowl of fresh hot popcorn.

Looking For Faster Internet
- by Holly
If you live in the St Louis area you already have access to the new Ultra 60 service from charter, the fastest internet around and soon so will many other people. If your like me and you hate slow internet service then you may want to check out the Ultra60 Information Page and find out if this service is right for you.
I love how fast this is going to be, it will give you almost no lag time while gaming and watching videos. It’s really an internet addicted persons
dream. The best part is you can follow Charter’s Twitter Feed for updated information on this service and many others. This will give you the power to find out when the Ultra 60 service will be available in your area.
I would love to see it where I am, but since I live where they don’t offer any service right now I don’t think I’m going to be one of the lucky ones. Who knows though maybe I’ll move to an area that will have it. I’m just thinking how much easier it will be to do what I need to do if I had faster internet. All of the work I could get done, it would be a huge time saver.

I have decided that every student needs to get Dragon Naturally Speaking so that they don’t have to sit and type up notes for the rest of their lives. I mean really my fingers are ready to fall off.

Masters theses
blogging, most students now blog just to complain about things.

Now as a collage student you are also looking to save some extra cash, so I also have the following coupon codes for you.

Do You Wish You Could Type Fast
- by Holly
I love being able to type fast, but sometimes I wish I could do it much faster, like when I’m trying to sit down and start a book, or when I have a blog post due and I can’t type as fast as I’m thinking or I’m trying to read something and type it into my own words at the same time. I really need to be able to speak to my computer and tell it what I want it to type. The good news is I can, the following article and video will show you how you can talk to your computer too and how you can Get Dragon Naturally Speaking using Discount code DNSMBG
"Nuance is allowing us to offer our readers a 25% Discount Coupon CODE Exclusive for Dragon Naturally Speaking, but you must click the image below and use this code (DNSMSBG) Together. Code will not work from other sources"
In this article I’m going to walk you through another scenario focusing on how much extra you could earn if you wrote for PayPerPost.com. Now at PayPerPost.com, the amount of money that you earn for your writing is not paid on a per word basis.
PayPerPost.com offers up opportunities, they call them opportunities, but you can also think of them as piecework or a job, and these “opportunities” typically have a minimum word count. The minimum word count is typically 200 words for your average article. In general the average article at PayPerPost on a high earning blog pays about $28. Sometimes they pay a little less, and sometimes they pay a little bit more.
Now if you are paid $28.00 to write a 200 word article, which breaks down to about 14 cents per word. That is about 200 times more than what you can make at textbroker.com. I mentioned that only for comparison purposes, because PayPerPost.com limits you to writing three articles per blog per day. That means that you can’t write there all day long for your single blog. (If you have additional blogs, you might be able to write additional articles on those other blogs.)
But if we assume, just to have a comparison to our textbroker.com example, if we assume that you could type articles at PayPerPost for fifty minutes straight, earning 14 cents per word, and you could type 35 words per minute, and then you could earn a $245 dollars per hour at PayPerPost. Now obviously, there’s not that much work there, but this does point to the rate at which you can earn things with the work that is available. That $245 would be the earnings you could make from about 8.8 Opportunities at $28 per Opportunity.
So bear with me with this example.

So what can faster typing skills do to help you earn more money and PayPerPost?
Well if you could type at 150 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and you currently type at 35 words per minute, then you could earn about $805 per hour more!
Reminder – This would assume that you could type articles nonstop at a hundred and fifty words per minute for fifty minutes. For most of us, that doesn’t mean a whole lot.
But to put this in better perspective, if you earned $245 from writing about nine articles, and those articles were each 200 words long, then you would have written a total of 1800 words.• 1800 words can be typed and 50 minutes at 35 words per minute
• 1800 words can be typed in 12 minutes at 150 words per minuteDragon NaturallySpeaking can essentially save you 38 minutes when you write nine articles.
Now with those additional thirty-eight minutes, you can spend more time:• promoting your blog,
• networking with people,
• researching other projects,
• taking on other work from other networks
• building up a new blog to command $28 per article!You can pocket your $245 from twelve minutes worth of work. You can then spend the rest of that hour, working to ensure that the blog you publish those on performs very well. But the point is this, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can save you so much time, that it will pay for itself very quickly.
Your average part-time blogger may easily afford to pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking with the additional profits that they would earn from using Dragon NaturallySpeaking in less than 30 minutes worth of blogging.

Plus just think of all of the time, that you would now have to make yourself and your site even more successful!

I Got Some Great Glasses
- by Holly
A few weeks ago I found out from my eye doctor that they screwed up billing my insurance so I couldn’t get new glasses or an eye exam until January, when my insurance runs out, nice huh? Anyway I needed new eyeglasses so I decided to get them from ZenniOptical.com and I’m very happy I did. I love my glasses and they only cost me $16 with shipping. Eyeglasses start at about $8 and then you can add on other things you want such as progressive lenses or get glasses that change in the sun to sunglasses.
The best part is you can save money. I plan on order my glasses with them from now on. I love them and probably will spend a little more on the next pair, after I get my exam. I love the one’s I have, but I want a good strong pair that will last a while, at least with these prices I can get new glasses every year. How great is that with the economy the way it is? They also have a great selection of kids glasses so if your kids always break them you don’t have to spend a lot of money on new ones, so if your looking to save money try Zenni Optical. I loved the service, I hope you do.
