The Killing – Who Killed Rosie Larsen?

June 16, 2013 by Billie Leave a Comment

I'm flipping through Netflix and I often do...looking for something to watch. I'm full on jaded and particular apparently. When I was younger, I was much easier to please with what I watched. Of course, back then there was less to choose from. With technology, there's so much to choose from that it's actually harder. I kid you not, unless we have a specific movie in mind, it takes Richard and I at least an hour to search for and agree upon a movie to watch. And there have been many times when we just gave up. Anyway, I had skimmed past The Killing Who Killed Rosie Larsen a few times and even added it to my instant queue. One day I didn't see anything else that sparked my interest so I started the first episode. It's definitely a moody drama as described. The characters are pretty hard core with internal conflicts and secrets. During the first episode, I kept doing that squinting eye, tilt head pondering face that I do when I don't know if I like something. I learned about … [Read more...]

Is There Such a Thing as Fast Money?

June 12, 2013 by Billie 1 Comment

Hey, guess what? This is a sponsored post. I have received product(s) and/or monetary compensation in exchange for this article. However, all opinions expressed are solely my own. Here's a confession...I don't have a checking account. I have an account that is linked directly to a debit card that I get through and I have a savings account. That's it. I also don't have any credit cards. The reason? I wasn't very responsible when I was younger and I don't entirely trust myself that I've grown up at all. When I was younger, I didn't think much about my future as far as moneywise. If I wanted something, I wrote a check or swiped my credit card. Both are pretty bad habits to get into. A few times I got payday loans. At that time, you had to get payday loans at physical stores. There are far easier ways to get them now, at sites such as https://quicksloans.com/. My feelings are mixed when it comes to cash advances such as these. Back when I was a teenager, they were an awful idea. … [Read more...]

Nestle Girl Scout Candy Bars – Coming Soon – Limited Time Only!

June 8, 2013 by Billie 4 Comments

Hey, guess what? This is a review. I was sent samples of the products below. I received no monetary compensation. All opinions expressed are solely my own based upon my experience with the product. I was a Brownie and then a Girl Scout growing up. My Mom was our troop leader for a few years and we always had so much fun. We even got to visit Juliette Gordon Lowe's (the founder of Girl Scouts, went by Daisy) house in Savannah, Georgia. It was a great place with rich history. It was also where I laughed histerically at my Mom. She kept falling over while trying to walk through waves in the ocean and it was so funny to me. Of course, she was heavily pregnant with my twin brother and sister, but hey. I sold so many Girl Scout cookies I can't even begin to count how many boxes I delivered. My parents always ordered a few boxes for us too. My favorite has always been Thin Mints, especially when you pop them into the freezer. I don't know many Girl Scouts these days. I can't … [Read more...]
