Biotin Vegetarian Capsules | #sp Product Review

Hello friends, I trust you all are having a wonderful Wednesday.  Some of you may or may not know that I have very fine and thin hair which unfortunately has been getting thinner as the years progress.  I want to chalk it up to heredity because my primary physician as well as a dermatologist couldn’t diagnose the “root” cause – no pun intended.

At first I thought it was stress induced from being a caregiver to my grandmother, but she has since passed, 5 years now and my hair still hasn’t gotten thicker.  I’ve had blood work and thyroid tests completed and nothing out of the ordinary was found, but it hasn’t stopped me from trying various hair re-growth products.

Recently, I had an opportunity to test a Biotin Vegetarian Capsule and Vibrance Vitamins from eunatural.com. Biotin is a vitamin that aids in hair growth and strong nails.  I ordered it directly from Amazon.com and am currently in my 2nd week. There are only slight changes in the thickness of my hair, however, I will continue with the regiment and keep you posted on the results.

Top Jobs in Social Media for 2014

Hello Friends & Happy New Year Monday

By now you’ve probably read a Business Report that listed some of the top jobs in Social Media for 2014.  If not, here’s a list of just a few:

  1. SEO Specialist
  2. Social Media Strategist
  3. Online Community Manager
  4. Social Media Marketing Manager
  5. Social Media Coordination
  6. Blogger

blog world

So what does that mean to you and I – it’s GOOD NEWS!!!  We may be in a position to write our own ticket if we stick to the 3-P’s:

  1. Passion
  2. Patience
  3. Perseverance

Blogging is no longer just a hobby for many nor is it a get-rich-scheme. Advertisers are looking to put their money somewhere – so why not with you and your blog?  

In order to monetize a blog not only do you have to stick with the 3-P’s, you also have to remember the 3-C’s:

  1. Content
  2. Communities
  3. Collaboration

No man is an island and neither is a blogger – we can’t survive alone. Our content must be great – ABC (Always Be Creating).  Advertisers are looking for blogs with good numbers, check your ratings, use analytics, email marketing, social media and keep current with your stats.

social media info

Share, comment, meet and greet and join a community – ABC (Always Be Creating). My experience has shown that bloggers are very willing to share their knowledge, we are all experts in our own niche.  Join a community like Sverve, be active, participate, hangout and share.  Respond to your comments and comment on other blogs, learn, read and stay current, it will help to increase your numbers. You don’t need to join every social media site out there, just pick one or two but be very active on them.

blogging congrats Collaborate, support each other, follow up don’t just comment and run, stay paired up and shared up. Blogging is not a sprint, it’s a marathon and the pot is big – envy and jealousy has no place!  “Congratulate ~ Don’t Hate” when others get opportunities, follow them to learn how they did it.

 

There is no magic bullet…no one size fits all or only one way way to monetize your blog.  Try out different methods – do what works best for you – mind your P’s and C’s but remember to have fun – everything else will fall into place.  

What have you done to successfully grow your blogging business?

Stay Blessed – No Stress in the New Year!

Lovely Day Tuesday

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

Do you remember Bill Withers’ 1977, hit song, Lovely Day?  Not all of the words in this song exactly describes my day but it definitely was a LOVELY DAY!  I took a day off from work so that my son could drop off his car and have it checked and then get to the orthodontist and dentist for treatments.  It was such a lovely day, not only because of the weather but because I got a chance to spend it with my oldest son.  Mothers with teenage and young adult sons know how difficult it can be to get them to spend time with you without complaint, so I took full advantage of it!

We started the day at Delaware Orthodontics in Middletown, this NASCAR-themed office is such a great place for kids of all ages, with video games and a flat screen TV to keep you occupied while in the waiting room.

After leaving the dentist office we stopped at Rugged Wearhouse where I found these pink, Gingham pumps on clearance for $5.00!

Day with #1 son 021

For lunch we went to Mickey D’s so I could try the new McWrap that I’ve heard so much about, it wasn’t bad for a fast food sandwich.  I had coupons so it was only $1.00, and Tayair was able to get a Buy 1 Get 1 FREE BigMac sandwich.

It definitely was a lovely day!
