Mommy Making Ends Meet
Do you like full-size freebies? I recently joined a sampling forum called BzzAgent. Super simple layout and you don’t waste a gigantic amount of time for a sample worth 10 cents! The site asks you to enter a little bit about yourself; it also allows you to connect to Facebook (which makes signing up even shorter!). After the initial sign-up and account verification you simply fill out a couple surveys—these help them to identify the best samples for you! Next, you wait.... for what may seem like an eternity! It was actually just a couple weeks for me to receive my first campaign invite! They sent me the bottle above at NO cost! No shipping fee for the full-size sample! Upon receiving the product you are asked to try it out and give your honest opinion. There are no better rewards for an individual who loves the product than one who absolutely hates it and lets everyone know! However, I found my sample to be wonderful! I used it on my bedding and it left such a pleasant scent! I paired it with scented laundry soap... I suggest that you get an “unscented” soap if you get this conditioner. I think that would enhance the lavender, but haven’t personally gotten to try it that way. I am excitedly waiting to be chosen for another sample! Go ahead, give it a try!

Why I Joined Network Marketing...
I can't even begin to explain the joy I get out of being a teacher, but let's get real really quick... like right to the point. I don't know if this is something I want to do till I'm 75 just to be able to live! I mean... I see myself walking around with a cane and barking at the kids saying, "In my day, kids didn't behave like that." UHM. No thank you. I can barely stand the sitting on the floor and getting back up and singing and dancing as it is. I mean... kids today are not like the kids were when I was a student. Kids are the bosses in their household and parents have a hard time believing what the teacher said because their children are always right.

An Artist's Struggle
There is nothing more horrendous than an artist facing a block in the beginning, and more so in the middle of their moment of creativity. It strikes at the worst possible moment and makes even the most creative person struggle to put a pencil and/or words down onto a piece of paper...not that this generation and the next few even use pencils and paper as much anymore.

The Top 3 Reasons Not to Get a Job Just Because It Is Good Pay
There are three main reasons that a person should not just take any job because it has better pay. The first reason that a person should not take a job just because of the pay is the fact of how this destroys that person emotionally. If a person is not happy with the job that they have chosen to take, then eventually this takes a very big toll on the company and the worker. The emotions begin to take control of all areas of the working day. These thoughts of how unhappy he/she ends up being the only thing that is stuck in that person's mind.
