Durable and Excellent Mics

It's wiser to buy yeti microphone than buy cheap ones that wouldn't last very long. Being in the videoke rental business for long lets you know what brands really work. This mic is one of them. In my kind of business the microphones are replaced very often because clients often drop them, but this brand is more durable. The ones we bought last year are still in excellent condition.

Control Skin's Shiny Look with Rice Water

Is your skin too oily? To stop shine, skin experts recommend reaching for a homemade toner made from rice water. 

To do: Simply soak 1/4 cup of uncooked white rice in 1 cup of water for 20 minutes. Swish the grains around, then strain off the liquid, put into a spray bottle and stash it in the fridge or your purse. Give your face a spritz as needed and blot off any excess. Compounds in the rice help normalize sebum production and results will be seen a few days after use; your skin will be less oily. You can keep the water in the fridge for 5 days.

The Plan Saved Her from Spending More

My sister is so relieved that she had a dental insurance. If not for that, she would have spent more than a thousand dollars for a single porcelain crown. Oh yeah, that's how much she would be charged if she didn't have a plan. She lives in New York and if you're familiar with their dental services, you know it could get too expensive.

She had some reservations when it was first offered to her by a friend. She didn't believe in a life insurance more so, a dental plan. She is so glad that for some reason, her friend was able to convince her to purchase the plan for a year. Just a couple of months have passed after she bought the plan that her dentist told her that she needed a porcelain crown for one of her molars. The price was a hefty $1500. The plan she got really help and she only paid for $500.

What she thought was an added expense actually turned out to be a great blessing to her. She subscribed to an insurance plan that covers dental packages. She plans to continue with the plan because now she realized how big a help it could be.

Prom Night

My son and his date right before going to the prom. I've been meaning to post this photo right after their prom last February 2 but it slipped my mind. 

Dibs' Collar

Training a dog? Try the sportdog training collars. We had once a very nasty German Shepherd and hubs tried this on him. He can be a very stubborn dog especially when someone he doesn't know is around. He also has a high tolerance for pain. Hubs set it on one but nothing happened. He didn't even flinch on that but when he adjusted it to two, the dog reacted and followed my husband's commands right away. Dibs became a good dog because of this.
