New KloutPerk to share: $25 to handbags.com

I got in on the KloutPerk for Handbags.com. I really thought it was going to just give me a little discount on a handbag. I did a search for handbags and did a “sort by Price – low to high” I actually ended up finding a handbag I liked for $20. You have to spend at least $25 for the credit to work so I added a travel case for $10. They offer free shipping so I ended up getting a new Relic handbag and travel pouch for $5 total!

There are handbags for $25, so if you like any of those you won’t have to pay anything.

This is the $20 purse I got:

It’s called “Relic Amy tote” They have 3 other colors in this but I got the color pictured above. And here’s a link to the travel pouch I bought: http://www.handbags.com/baggallini/zip-zip-bagg-ripstop-nylon/61145/p/1283451 It says the bag’s regular price is $68.

Here’s the klout perk for the $25 I can share with you CLICK HERE

It says I can share it with one person but I know previous perks had a specific number that I could share with and it seemed more than that were able to benefit from it. So give it a try. If you get it, please let me know.

If you’re not signed up for KloutPerks you might want to do so. They periodically offer new perks . If you qualify, some of them are pretty good. I have receive $50 Dick’s sporting goods gift card, Year supply of Secret deodorant, business cards and more in the past.

Why Consider Straight Talk when looking for a Cell Phone carrier?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently made the decision to upgrade my phone when I last renewed my contract. I made the jump to a smartphone. Once I had it and started using it, I don’t know how I could ever go back to a regular cell phone again. Then I got my bill, yikes. Then I think, “hmm maybe I would be alright without my smart phone”.

I wish I would have heard about Straight Talk before I renewed my 2 yr contract in May. Straight Talk is so much cheaper than my plan. The sad part is I get a 24% service discount through my employer. I’d hate to see my bill if I didn’t. Straight Talk would cut my cell phone bill almost in half from what I’m paying now.

Smart Talk has several Monthly Plans available to fit your needs:

–The “All You Need” plan gives the user 1000 monthly minutes, 1000 texts and 30 MB of Data so you can surf the web all for $30/mo!

–Unlimited Monthly service is only $45 and includes calls, texts, picture messaging, and web. That’s only $499 for a whole year. I pay that much in less than 6 months! I could certainly use the money I’d save for buying more clothes for my boys. They grow like weeds!

Some other great features are that 411 is included at no extra cost. There’s no contract so your free from activation, reactivation, and termination fees.

Hook, line and sinker

So what does that have to do with Smart phones? Straight Talk has smart phones available including androids! They offer touch screen phones, app capable phones, features like voice navigation, cameras, video recorders, music players, instant messaging, and bluetooth.

Reconditioned phones are available starting at just $10 with a camera, mp3 player, mobile web access, and blue-tooth capability.

Android on Straight Talk

If you have a need for International calls on your phone, Straight Talk offers that too. It’s a flexible, prepaid service. You can make calls from your home, cell, or office phone for low rates.

Call a friend

Straight Talk is available at Walmart. There’s no credit checks, no surprise bills, no contracts. They have great phones to choose from like LG, Motorola, Kyocera, and Samsung.

TEAS’ TEA, authentically brewed tea

Not only is tea an enjoyable drink for many, it has several benefits for your body. Did you know that Green Tea has antiviral and antibacterial properties. The polyphenol, catechin, in tea are strong antioxidants. It’s referred to as EGCG. There is research that says cetachins may help prevent cancer along with other ailments.

There is also a correlation between Green Tea and cardio health and blood circulation, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, improvement in brain function, aid in healthy weight maintenance, maintain good oral health, and gives the immune system a boost.

Drinking tea for health dates back to early Buddhist texts and Chinese medicine as healing herbs.

TEAS’ TEA describes their tea as “premium tea”. They state that their tea is authentically brewed, GMO free, and all natural with natural cane sugar. No artificial flavoring.

Did you know that TEAS’ TEA was selected by Whole Foods Market Wellness Club? Whole Foods Market selects products that are good for your health to make it easier for Whole Food Market Shoppers to find the products that are healthier. You can click on the link in this paragraph to read more about it.

TEAS’ TEA offers their products in 3 categories:
1. Unsweetened
2. Low Calorie (lightly sweetened)
3. Classic Sweetened

I had the opportunity to try 2 of TEAS’ TEA products. Lightly Sweetened Mango Oolong Tea and the Unsweetened Jasmine Green Tea.

I have to admit. I’m not a tea drinker normally. I do enjoy it on occasion. I like cold teas more than hot teas. I first tried the Unsweetened Jasmine Green Tea. The aroma from the bottle when I opened it was a lovely, light, floral-like scent. I poured some in a glass over ice. I’m not used to drinking unsweetened tea but it did have a nice flavor too it. A little perfumish but light. I didn’t mind finishing my glass at all. In my opinion though, if you’re not much a tea drinker I’d try one of the sweetened varieties. If you enjoy your tea this would be a wonderful choice for you. All of my boys wanted to taste as well. They didn’t care for this one.

Looking at the nutrition facts on the label it says it has ZERO calories. I was shocked by that. 180% of vitamin C too.

Next was the Lightly Sweetened Mango Oolong Tea. This one was much more my speed. I don’t care for really sweet tea. This had a refreshing taste. Just a kiss of Mango flavor. The tea was light and not overpowering. The light sweetness made this a very pleasant drink for me. My 7 yr old and toddler liked this one as well. This one only has 40 calories per serving.

If you want to learn more about TEAS’ TEA you can check out their website: www.ItoEn.com While you’re there, check out all the different flavors they offer. There’s a lot.

TEAS’ TEA is social. You can find them on twitter and facebook too. While you’re on the facebook page you can also print out a coupon. The info on where to find it on the facebook page is here: http://www.itoen.com/fb_coupon
