A few years ago, I had the entire contents of my purse stolen at my favorite bar when I was out line dancing and my friend, the designated "purse watcher," left his station and someone took everything out of my purse. I don't know why they didn't just grab the purse, but they took my Blackberry, my wallet (which was huge and had lots of stuff in it), and my planner.
My contract with Sprint was not over so I didn't have any upgrade discounts. I ended up paying $500 for the all new HTC Evo 4G. I loved it. It never froze like my Blackberry. It was more user friendly and the screen was bigger. Well I don't know what happened over the past 3 years. Maybe it's all the apps I have and memory I used up. But if I used my phone at all, if I even thought about using my phone during the day, the battery would drain in 4-5 hours. So I decided to get the new Samsung Galaxy S4!
So now what do I do with my old phone? I'd really like to take out all my frustration on it and run over it with my car a few times. But, recently I learned how to sell a phone and you can't go wrong. I could get up to $161 for my HTC Evo!

Spring Cleaning, Purging Junk and Getting Organized
It's currently snowing here in Colorado, but I've already had the "itch." The weather is getting nicer (except for our freak snowfalls), it's warming up, the sun is out, and all you want to do is clean! Everyone is familiar with spring cleaning. It's that time of year where you get in every crease, crack, and crevice in your house. You clean the air vents, wash the light switch plates, clear spider webs, and maybe even powerwash the siding on your house. But my favorite part of spring cleaning is the CLEANSING. By cleansing I mean purging stuff you don't need, whether by throwing out trash, donating items, or selling them for extra cash. Here are some tips you might find useful:
1) Clothes - If you haven't worn it in a year, GET RID OF IT. You may tell yourself "I realize I haven't worn this in a long time, I will make an effort to wear it this summer." But you won't. Trust me. I've done this more times than I can remember. Donate to your local shelter or Goodwill. Don't forget to wash them first!
2) DVDs and CDs - In today's digital world, you may not even need these. I sold my CD collection years ago and haven't looked back. I have a Smart TV that is hooked up to my internet. I stream music on Pandora or download to iTunes on my computer. You can also sell your DVDs and CDs on Music Magpie.
3) Paperwork/photos - Now is a good time to transfer your photos, bills, medical records, etc. to your computer. Get rid of that filing cabinet and make room for something else! Almost any company that sends you a bill keeps a digital copy on their site. You can save them to your computer as PDFs. If you are worried about your computer crashing and losing all your info, get an external hard drive and backup your files.

Woes of a Smartphone
A few years ago, I had the entire contents of my purse stolen at my favorite bar when I was out line dancing and my friend, the designated "purse watcher," left his station and someone took everything out of my purse. I don't know why they didn't just grab the purse, but they took my Blackberry, my wallet (which was huge and had lots of stuff in it), and my planner. Who steals a planner?!
Anyways, my contract with Sprint was not over so I didn't have any upgrade discounts. I ended up paying $500 for the all new HTC Evo 4G. I loved it. It never froze like my Blackberry. It was more user friendly and the screen was bigger. Well I don't know what happened over the past 2 years. Maybe it's all the apps I have and memory I use up. But if I use my phone at all, if I even THINK about using my phone during the day, the battery will be drained by anywhere from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Realizing that I'd rather have a functional phone than all the crazy apps I had, I deleted apps, cleared data, and even replaced the battery. No luck. I think it's time to move on from my ole HTC. But it's still fully functional. Recently I learned how to sell cell phones and you can't go wrong. I could get up to $161 for my phone! It's in almost brand new condition cosmetically because I keep it in a case. You mean people will pay for my crappy but pretty phone? YES.

Purex plus Fabric Softener with Crystals Fragrance Review & Giveaway
I'm constantly on the prowl for ways to save money. Purex has come out with a product that combines detergent and fabric softener. You could save up to $45 every year! Purex plus Fabric Softener with Crystals Fragrance also has the power of Dirt Lift Action. Dirt Lift Action works deep into clothes to get out dirt, keeping your clothes bright, white and clean. This new Purex laundry detergent is available in the liquid detergent aisle at Walmart, Target, Kroger stores and other Purex retailers.
Purex detergent with fabric softener is good for everyday laundry, so I tried with a load of jeans. I normally wash jeans with regular detergent and then line dry them, so fabric softener never touches them and they get stiff when they dry. I noticed they were a little softer when I washed them with Purex plus Fabric Softener with Crystals Fragrance and smelled wonderful too! I like a lot of scent on my clothes. Nothing smells better than freshly washed clothes.
I have 3 free product coupons to give away! Enter on the Rafflecopter form below. Good luck!
