Polymere and No nonsense team up

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Are you ready for a No nonsense way to dress up your next outfit? I was recently introduced toa new promotion running by No nonsense tights and leggings. They are working with Polyvore.com to help people create dream boards of their favorite fashions. It is a perfect fit since you have a chance to mix and match different looks and decide what you think looks good together. Since everyone has a different style – their is no right or wrong. The leggings make a perfect addition to tons of outfits or could convert one look into another by simply swapping out some items.

Take a look at the board I created. I know it is pretty wild but I was in a playful mood and wanted to make something very different then what I would normally wear. I am certainly not your high fashion ‘fashionista’ but love to try new things and have fun with it. Life is to short to not put it out there. You can create your own collage at polyvore.com – it is super easy and free.

The next time you need to pick up a pair of leggings remember that they are easy to find at a number of retailers and drug stores and are extremely affordable. If you would like to see more about these perfect fashion accessories make sure to follow them on No nonsense on Facebookor twitter (@benononsense) and stay in tune with specials, discounts and promotions. No nonsense enables women to update and change out any look with simply adding some stylish, colorful and affordable leg-wear. Like lipstick, tights can be a great statement piece to lift your mood and extend your wardrobe.

Did you know that Jill Martin will be partnering with No nonsense? She will be doing online spots that will highlight how you can take advantage of leggings in your fashion sense. Jill is not just a fashion expert, but is also an Emmy Award-winning TV personality and co-author of the New York Times bestselling style guide “I Have Nothing to Wear!” She is also the New York Correspondent for Access Hollywood. This is exciting news and should make for a great partnership.

I love surfing the internet and looking for new and unique things. I love StumbleUpon because I will come across things that I would never find on my own. When you follow others they are able to share information with you and we can share information with them. It is up to you whether you want to follow like minded people or follow some random people that can expose you to new things. That is kind of the route I took. One of my friends shared ConnectMyDNA™.com it it got me thinking about how we are all connected in one way or another. They will actually put together a DNA ring for you that will highlights how you connect with other populations. They are not testing for ancestry but will provide with you overall similarities like what countries you have common traits with.

It is pretty cool when you think about how we all are likely related in some way. Just like the way many of us move around the United States, our ancestors did the same back when the bulk of civilization was in Europe and Africa. I Am very curious about where they say I might be from. You should check it out too. They track all orders through serial numbers so you do not have worry about people finding out about your ring unless you choose to share. Because you are a reader of this post you will get a discount if you order a gene ring today. Just make sure to include the coupon code for IZEA290512 which will reduce your price to $29. Remember that serial numbers are used to track orders, not your name. And there is no sensitive information provided by the ring. Get yours today.

Everyone is out working on their lawns now that the snow has melted and the flowers are starting to pop up. One problem, your yard looks like hell. It is time to get the gardening gear and fertilizer and revive your lawn. If you’re like many people you’ll be heading to the hardware store to purchase some lawn fertilizer. I know it is an annual ritual for me. I just purchased the new Scotts® Snap® Spreader System. I typically go for the cheap bags of fertilizer and spread with a cup. This year I wanted to invest in my lawn and they were running a special so it was really not that much more. It took me just under an hour to spread my entire lawn which is less then half the time it normally takes me.

The Snap Pac connects directly to the Snap Spreader which means you don’t have to cut open or pour the bag. This minimizes spillage and waste. The system auto-sets the flow rate so you don’t have to figure out the spreader setting. It also has an edge guard so you don’t sling it all over the driveway and sidewalk. Like I usually do. The Snap Pac also seals itself when you remove it from the Spreader for easy storage.

Bring out the best in your lawn! For once have the best lawn in the neighborhood instead of the eye sore. When I purchased mine I also received an advertisement flyer inviting me to join the Snap perks on Facebook page. If you visit you will receive special perks and be entered to win prizes. Visit their Snap perks on Facebook page today and you can find out more details about the Scotts Snap Spreader System. Be sure to click the ‘Like” button.

Fellowes New 79ci Jam Proof Shredder #FellowesInc

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

Call it dumb luck but I was getting ready to buy a new shredder with some of my tax return and than was offered the opportunity to review the new Fellowes 79Ci. I need a new shredder becaue mine is eating the paper versus shredding it. It is not doing a good job of destroying all the papers with sensitive information, old CDs and credit cards. I think the Fellowes 79Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder should be the complete solution. Although I was looking for something cheap, the Fellowes’ system can’t be included in this category (You can find this amazing shredding tool at Staples, for a reasonable price of $239.99.), as it’s a professional model that comes with several high-end capabilities that you can’t find in regular shredders. Let’s see what it’s about.

Fellowes 79Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder was designed for home use, home offices and businesses, and has a professional and stylish design, coming in black with dark silver accents, at a size of 21.50 x 12.75 x 15.38 inch, with a 2-year warranty for the entire machine and lifetime warranty for the cutter. It features automatic start/ stop function and is able to cross-cut 14 sheets at a time, while the pull-out bin has a capacity of 6 gallons.

You can use the Fellowes 79Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder to destroy papers, staples, paper clips, credit cards, CDs and DVDs, but the key capabilities that make it stand out include the 100% Jam Proof System, the SilentShred technology, the Cross-Cut technology, and the patented SafeSense technology.

The 100% Jam Proof System is a great feature that addresses the number one compliant when it comes to shredders and is the world’s only system that eliminates jamming, supporting multi-level jam prevention. The machine integrates an intelligent sensor in charge with measuring the paper stack thickness in order to stop the paper jam before it happens and it does this automatically. On the other hand, the technology can detect when the sheets are misplaced and reverses them out so you can easily remove them.

You can work with the shredder fast and increase productivity thanks to the instant feedback provided by the indicator light that informs you on paper capacity.

The Cross-Cut technology I mentioned previously ensures the paper sheets become impossible to piece back together as each is shredded into 399 particles. The job is done quietly, thanks to the SilentShred technology powered by a quiet motor, and in case you touch the paper opening accidentally, the SafeSense technology disables the shredder automatically.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.

This item is made of plastic and is probably street legal in Idaho, although we haven’t bothered to check.

Special Shit Seasoning

Special Shit all-purpose seasoning was born in the humble kitchen of Big Cock Ranch in Lexington, Texas. Dan Martin, cattle-baron and owner of Big Cock Ranch, has been using this special blend of seasonings for years on steak, chicken, barbeque, vegetables and other culinary delights.

One day, Dan’s stockbroker, Randy, watched as Dan sprinkled something from a very non-descript jar onto some juicy rib-eye steaks. Randy wanted to know the origin of the seasoning and Dan informed him that it was his own concoction. A few days later Randy asked if he could have some of the spice. Dan didn’t know what he was talking about until Randy said “you know…your Special Shit.”

Well, a legend was born

Friends and co-workers began encouraging Dan to manufacture Special Shit in quantity so they could give it to their friends and family. Soon co-workers were ordering it by the case. One of Dan’s clients began using it as sales incentives, another shipped it to their international sales offices. Folks in 17 countries have now enjoyed Special Shit.

The father of one of our brave soldiers in Iraq shipped his son a few bottles of Special Shit for Christmas to try to make the MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat) a little more palatable. The soldiers in his platoon were so impressed that the military newspaper ran an article about how much the soldiers enjoyed both the spice and the label on the bottle. Now it is in high demand and a form of currency by many of our soldiers.

Any time new visitors are invited to the Big Cock Ranch, they want to know how Dan makes the barbeque or steaks or whatever he’s cooking, taste so good. Dan usually lies to them initially and tells them it is because he is such a good cook. But reluctantly he admits to Special Shit being responsible for the accolades.

The Big Cock Ranch-sponsored Barbeque Team uses Special Shit in competitions and has yet to be denied a place in the winner’s circle. In fact, great effort is expended to keep wraps on Special Shit. Other contestants, onlookers, and passerby have even stolen the jars in the past right out of their booth.

Special Shit contains no MSG, but the rest of the ingredients and their proportions are a closely guarded secret. We invite you to try Special Shit, we know you will be as happy as others who have taken the plunge and began using Special Shit instead of the boring, bland tasting shit they’re used to. In fact, if you are not 100% satisfied with Special Shit, return the unused portion for a full refund.
