Wireless Bluetooth Headphones That Are Waterproof and Less than $30 Yes!

October 16, 2017 by Leave a Comment

I received the below mentioned product at no cost in order to complete an honest review. Any opinions expressed are my own.

Best wireless headphones under $30

I was using a pair of ear buds with a cord that physically plugged into my iPhone to do my workouts.  It wasn’t terrible but the cord got to be annoying when running/walking on my treadmill.  They were cheap and didn’t last long.  One of the earbuds stopped working so I had music only in one ear.  I decided to try to find a pair of wireless headphones that were sweatproof/waterproof, had good reviews, and didn’t cost an arm and a leg.  It seemed the ones with glowing reviews were all $150+ Sure I could get some cheaper but they either didn’t have the best reviews or I had to give up something and usually that was the wireless idea.

When Tenergy asked me to review their T20 Bluetooth headphones I looked at them on Amazon.  Wireless, sweatproof/waterproof, up to 8 hour battery life, noise canceling, and 2 year warranty if you register them.  Then I saw the price was only $29.95.   But what really peaked my interest is the number of 5 and 4 star reviews.  In fact, at the time of this post, there are no reviews less than 3 stars which is pretty good for an electronic product on Amazon without a big name.

So I get them in the mail. My kids are always curious about the boxes that come through.  As soon as I told my 15 yr old son what they were he wanted to test them out.  Opening the box, this company does not skimp on anything.  The Tenergy T20 bluetooth headphones come with a storage case, extra ear buds, usb charging cord, and a bonus arm band to keep your phone/ipod in.

Out of the box the headphones needed to be charged. This only took about an hour.  My son was able to use them within a minute of being charged.  He was home all week last week due to having surgery and used these a lot to play his games on his phone and listen to music.

If my 15 year old likes them then I had to try them out.  Teenagers can be picky!  So I tried linking them to my phone which took all of a couple seconds and I was good to go.  Listening to Spotify with my headphones on while doing some blog work.  The sound was good.  Affordable wireless headphones with good sound, who knew?

My only complaint about these headphones is that the soft flexible ear hooks that go over the ear aren’t bendable.  The fit my son well but I have tiny ears.  I kind of wish I could bend them to hug my ears a little better.  Other than that I think these are a great buy.  Throw in the 2 year warranty when you register them and it’s really one of the best deals I’ve seen for wireless bluetooth headphones of this quality.

I Tried Lipsense Here’s What I Think

October 16, 2017 by Leave a Comment

I received a sample of the below mentioned products at no cost in order to complete a review. Any opinions expressed are my own. 

You may have seen facebook friends sharing posts about Lipsense.  You might have a friend or family member that sells Lipsense.  I ignored the info for a while.  Lipstick is lipstick right?  Then a friend of mine who had been going on and on about it had a party and I joined in. I  happened to have some spending money so I bought myself a starter kit.  That’s when I changed my mind.  Not all lipsticks are created equal.

The first color I ever tried was called Brick a medium red that I used strictly for date nights.  I got the clear Glossy gloss and the remover.  Yes it took a little longer to apply the lipstick than regular lipstick because you apply in layers and let it dry.  But it lasts so much longer.  Lipsense doesn’t dry out your lips but rather can help restore lip moisture when used properly.

After I had my starter set I started trying more colors.  The most recent Lipsense color I got from Red Gate Beauty, is called Bella  It’s a beautiful everyday color.  Something I feel comfortable wearing to work.  The below picture is Bella without the Opal gloss on it yet.

I decided to try a new gloss too. I chose Opal and oh do I love it!  I find myself using it with my other Lipsense lip colors a lot because it really adds a pretty iridescent look to my lips.  It definitely helped moisturize and give a plumped look to my lips too.

Red Gate Beauty has 40 colors available and 11 different glosses. Some colors, like Bella, are in high demand and often Lipsense distributers have a hard time keeping it in stock.  Red Gate Beauty also offers free shipping!

If you’re just starting out with Lipsense I highly recommend getting the starter kit.  You get a color, a gloss, and a remover.  You really need the gloss to lock in and protect the lips.  Once you have that starter kit you can go crazy buying more colors if you like.

Budgeting When You’re Unemployed or Low Income

October 13, 2017 by Leave a Comment

 

Balancing Your Budget Using Assistance Programs

It can be tough to get by on a small salary, even with careful budgeting. Luckily, there are financial assistance programs designed to help low-income families manage their money and cover daily living costs without trouble. By utilizing government and nonprofit financial services, working individuals can more easily access and save up the funds they need to achieve financial stability.

Know Your Income and Expenses

No matter what your income is, whether you rely on aid programs or not, the most important step to financial success is to keep track of your spending. There are several major expenses to take into account when planning out your monthly budget, including:

  • Rent and utilities
  • Groceries and eating out
  • Insurance
  • Medical bills
  • Transportation
  • Student loans, credit card payments, and other forms of debt
  • Leisure costs

Once you’ve figured out how much money you’re bringing in (or losing) each month, you can set about planning how to pad your savings account and improve your cash flow. Low-income individuals can also look into whether or not they can apply for local, state, and federal assistance programs.

Find Out What Assistance You Qualify For

Applying for financial assistance can help to boost your overall income each month and make it easier to afford necessities such as food and rent. Even if your family receives aid, you may be eligible for additional programs that can help you to manage your expenses better each month. Assistance isn’t just limited to cash grants, either. You can find programs that help low-income families to afford food, a new house, or hefty medical bills without throwing off their budget. Such financial aid and benefits programs include:

  • Affordable rental housing
  • Food assistance
  • Financial aid for students
  • Retirement and pension benefits
  • Programs and benefits for active military

There are plenty of government assistance programs that make it easier for families to manage their money. If you want to know whether or not you qualify for any of these programs, many offer a convenient online pre-screening tool for applicants.

Find the Right Bank Account

If you rely on government assistance programs for financial support, you may be worried that you won’t be able to apply for loans with big banking institutions. A little bit of financial assistance can make it easier to open a new bank account, however. It’s important to shop around in order to find a bank that offers accounts with financial perks such as waived account fees, no minimum deposit amount, and overdraft protection.

It can be difficult to manage your money in a low-income situation, but luckily, government branches and nonprofit organizations are on hand to step in and offer assistance. Financial aid programs not only help families to afford the essentials but also gain the financial stability that they need to pull themselves out of the red and start building a savings account.
