Tips to Save You Money #savingwithmisty

With prices as high as they are, if you are like me, you are having trouble making a budget and sticking to it.  Here are a handful of my tips I use to keep myself on track.

If I’m out running errands, I’ll make a drink and take it with me in a reusable tumbler so I’m not tempted to go the coffee shop or even through the drive through somewhere or a gas station and get a drink.

We cook for an army and there’s only two of us, so we eat the meal, then one meal the next day, and I break down what’s left into homemade tv dinners and freeze those so we have convenience meals that we know is in them. Read more

New Marble Dream® Swirl Effect Video from Daich Coatings

~ Video Shows Blow Dryer Used with Resurfacing Kit from Daich Coatings ~

HAMILTON, ONTARIO – The only “tool” needed to gain a soft, swirling marble surface with the Marble Dream® Resurfacing Kit is a blow dryer. The easy DIY project relies on heat and air movement to produce one-of-a-kind flowing marble surfaces on countertops, tables and furniture in just one weekend.

“This is the easiest project we’ve ever introduced,” says Peter Daich, president of Daich Coatings. “You control the entire look of your new marble surface by adding accent colors in specific areas. Then you use the blow dryer to gently move the colors across the surface to create a blended, swirling effect. The ingredients and heat react with each other to create an authentic-looking marble coating. And it does all of that while completely free of hazardous epoxy chemicals.”

Bathroom Hacks for Saving Money #savingwithmisty

a clean modern bathroom with shower and bath, toilet and wash basin

When you come into my house, more than likely you will find really nice products in my bathroom.  On the other hand, if you know anything about me, you know I like to save money where at all possible.  How do I do this and use luxury bathroom items is a question I get a lot.  So here are some of my bathroom hacks.

Just a few frugal tips and secrets as to how I use luxury products on the cheap.

I only condition my hair once a month. That keeps my hair from getting greasy. I shower every other day unless I am exerting and getting dirty somehow, that’s how I save on water and bath products.

A loofa or bath sponge of some sort, or even a wash rag, will help you use less body wash and/or soap. Put just a drop on it, add water and suds away!  Believe it or not, this hack works for bar soap too! Read more

Amos 4D Juicy Burst Gummies Review

Amos 4D Juicy Burst Gummies Review

When I’m getting ready to sit down and relax I always grab a snack to help me unwind. I’m not much of a chocolate person so my snack usually consists of a fruit tray or when I crave sugar, gummy snacks. My favorite flavors almost always get left out though! So when I heard about Amos having peach and pineapple flavored 4d juicy burst gummies, I knew I had to try them.

With the peach flavored ones, when I opened the bag, I was immediately struck by a super strong, pleasant peach aroma. As I began to eat one, the taste matched the smell. They don’t taste artificial or chalky like a lot of other gummies do.

The pineapple flavored variety held nothing back as well! Whoever is in charge of the flavor department needs a raise because these gummies are fire! The pineapple flavor isn’t overpowering, but definitely tastes very sweet.

The 3D effect is really cool on these. The way you can stand them up is pretty cool. Overall, these gummies hit the spot and held nothing back when it came to flavor. 4/5, definitely recommended!

Ways to Save While Traveling #savingwithmisty

Ways to Save While Traveling

If you’re like me and love to travel but are feeling the pinch of expenses, here are a few of my own tips and tricks to help you save money while on vacation.

~ If at all possible, drive to your destination.  I do realize if you are traveling across the country or out of the country, this is not feasible, however with the prices of airplane tickets skyrocketing, this will save so much money in the airplane fees, parking your car at the airport, etc.

~ When you are at your hotel, ask for extra toiletries, I promise you the hotel staff does not mind handing you a few extra. Even if you are there for one night, ask for two bottles of everything per person in the room, per night. Might seem small, but those little bottles add up, and most of them are high end products.

April 2024 KitNipBox Unboxing & Review

April 2024 KitNipBox Review

In today’s fast-paced world, subscription boxes have become increasingly popular, catering to various interests and hobbies. Pet owners, especially cat lovers, are not left behind, as there are subscription boxes designed specifically for their furry friends. One such box is the KitNip Box, a monthly subscription service that delivers a curated selection of toys, treats, and other goodies for cats. In this review, we will explore the KitNip Box experience for two feline friends, Tigger and Shadow.

Tigger and Shadow are two adorable cats who bring joy and laughter to their owner’s home. Tigger, a playful and energetic orange tabby, loves chasing toys and exploring new things. Shadow, a sleek and mysterious grey tabby, is more reserved but equally curious. Their owner, Misty, decided to surprise them with a KitNip Box subscription to keep them entertained and engaged.

When the KitNip Box arrived, Tigger and Shadow were immediately intrigued by the enticing scent emanating from the box. I opened it, and this months theme was back to school.  The thing that got Shadows attention was the ruler, and Tigger loves the apple.

The KitNip Box contained an impressive variety of toys and a pack of wet food this month.  Each month, the theme changes, which adds an amazing element of surprise to this package each month. Read more
