Things I’m Lovin’ – Some Affordable Ideas For Valentine’s Day! February 2020

January 22, 2020 By Carissa Garabedian

Guys, every so often a gadget comes my way that makes me giddy! I have one this month – it is my new fave! You know I am working on my reading goal this year and I tend to do more of my reading in bed, at night. I do not always read on my Kindle and I don’t like to have a light on when my hubby is sleeping, so.. now I have this.. a book light that wraps around my neck, is super light and works so well! I LOVE IT!

App Of The Month – Save Money On Holiday Shopping

December 2, 2019 By Carissa Garabedian

I gathered some sites/ apps to help save some money. Some of these are repeats, but are such great savers!

Rakuten:

I am a big fan of Rakuten, formally Ebates. This site can be used on line and in many stores, There is NO cost to you and you earn money back. I have collected over $800 in the last years of being a member. I have a referral code that will give you a dollar perk and will send one to me too! There is no catch with this, I am surprised more do not use it! Here is the link to get started.

Carissa Takes The City, NYC in 26 Hours!

November 19, 2019 By Carissa Garabedian

24.4 miles walked in 26 hours in NYC on a quick getaway with my hubby. This was a gift for my birthday and it is something we rarely get to do. I was an anxious and a stressed out wreck leading up to the trip. I wanted to bail a few times, but thanks to my oldest daughter, our guy was well taken care of and we had a blast.

NYC is an easy destination to get to, there is always something to do and it doesn’t have to be expensive.
