Website review: Acuraofpalmbeach.com

Now that there are signs the economy is recovering, some of us are thinking about buying new cars again. It’s probably been years since you had a new car, and maybe your old used car is costing you more in repairs than it’s worth. The best plan of action might be to buy a new car or a quality used car.

For those of you who live in the Palm Beach, Florida area, you can check out http://www.acuraofpalmbeach.com/. They have a complete collection of quality New Acura vehicles. I know someone who owns a 2010 Acura TSX and thinks very highly of it. Acura has cars for everyone, from the large SUV to the family Sedan, they have a car to fit everyone’s needs. Acura’s have always been a highly rated luxury brand, and their latest cars are receiving high praise and excellent reviews. You can also visit acuraofpalmbeach.com to see the services  their offer like oil change. Acura of Palm Beach has a financing department for the cars they sell. You should consider trading in that old car you’re currently driving to a new or used Acura.

For even more information on new or used cars, you can check their blog at http://www.westpalmbeachcarblog.com/.

Staying Connected With TracFone

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

Have you been stuck with the $200 cancellation fees that some companies charge if you cancel you service before the two years have passed? Are you tired of those monthly cell phone bills that always seem to have charges that you weren’t expecting? Has a family member racked up a huge bill by texting friends without letting you know, until the bill arrives with a large extra charge for those thousands of text messages? If so, then you should consider the simplicity and convenience of a TracFone. TracFone offers the least expensive way to own and use a cell phone in America. There are no contracts, no credit checks, no activation charges or cancellation fees.

A video with real TracFone customers:

 

TracFone also offers so many features and many styles of cell phones. Some are flip phones, and some have keyboards to make texting easier. Many have cameras and can take videos. The TracFone cell phone selection includes simple phones with calling and texting capabilities for under $10.00. They also offer great phones packed with features like camera/video recorder, web access, app capabilities, mp3 player, and full QWERTY keyboard, for $29.99. So if you’re trying to control expenses and keep those pesky extra monthly charges out of your life, maybe a TracFone is the right phone for you. My dad is using a TracFone and he likes the simplicity of it.

Also, my baby RC is sick. I'm taking her to the doctor later. Please send some happy thoughts and well wishes. At least now, it's official, I'm a SAHM so she probably won't catch colds and viruses often.

Aloha everyone! Have a Happy Saturday!

Hiltons of Branson Value Package

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

Branson, Missouri was once a quiet little town in the southern Ozarks near Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo. Today, Branson is one of the top tourist destinations in the US and has over 50 live performance theatres, along with Silver Dollar City amusement park and Shepard of the Hills tour. So if you need a great family vacation, you should make a point to visit Branson and the scenic hills of southern Missouri.
You’ll need a place to stay, and one of the best hotels in Branson is the Hiltons of Branson particularly the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. At Hiltons of Branson, the amenities and the rooms are top-notch. The hotel is located close to various attractions in Branson. They’re currently offering the Branson Best Value Vacation Package, which includes deluxe accommodations and four tickets to the Legends of Kung Fu show at the White House Theater, two adult and two kid's two-day passes to Silver Dollar City, a $25 gift card for shopping, and a $25 food credit for Level 2 Steakhouse.  You'll have extra money for shopping and food.  
 When staying at either the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel or the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing your 3rd night is free! If you have been reading my blog, you'll know that I love free. It feels good to be able to save some money and still have a great time during a vacation. Please visit Hiltons of Branson for more information about the packages they offer.
I was fortunate to be able to visit Branson,Missouri in 2007. The photos above were taken at the Hollywood Wax Museum and Ripley's Believe It or Not. I enjoyed my visit there and I would be  happy to go back. Next time, we will definitely consider Hiltons of Branson as a place to stay.

Suze Orman fan

Do you watch Suze Orman? I watched her earlier. Maybe some of you are not a fan of her but I am. Actually I used to watch Clark Howard and Dave Ramsey before too. Speaking of Dave, I don’t know what happened to him, it seems he just disappeared from having a show on TV. Now, I only watch Suze. Other than that, I feel like I keep watching cartoons all the time. My daughter insists on having the TV on even if she is playing something else at our living room.


Anyway, one of the advices Suze Orman talks about is to have insurances. Be proactive and plan for your future and don’t let unexpected expenses affect your retirement goals. We should protect our love ones in case something happened. There are so many type of insurances. As we get older, we are introduced to AARP, Medicare supplement and even BurialInsurance.org. These are organizations for older Americans. AARP offers many types of insurance and give discounts to members, but you must be over 50 years old to join. I’m glad though that I’m still not at that age. I remember turning 30, and thinking, am I really this old? Well, I’m not yet 50 so I’m young!

I'm writing about insurance again. Boring? Actually, I just became an official SAHM and I'm still debating on what to do with the retirement plan I have from work. I might just take them all out since I don't know when I am going back to a regular full time job again.

 

Open houses (Scenic Sunday)

Some pictures of me and the loves of my life last weekend when we went to open houses. We looked at one house and two condominiums. One of which we lived before, it was good to see it again. Maybe it would be feasible for us to buy instead of rent. It would take a lot of thinking if we ever decide to buy here. Right now, I would say no but I tell my husband that maybe tomorrow we'll just be instantly rich so why not look around so if ever we win the lottery tomorrow we have an idea which property to buy. Unfortunately, there is no lottery in HI, so I had to revise my idea, maybe I'll be discovered and be a movie star? Then we'll be rich haha.

We were doubtful to look at a house because of the price. I mentioned this before and I will mention it again, houses here are so expensive. A simple house with a small yard, three small bedrooms like the one we saw is over 500K.

I used our small camera and my face wasn't too prepared for the pictures. Weekend is around the corner! Happy blogging everyone. Thanks for all the clicks to my blog.

Dance In The Rain

It’s been raining on and off here for the past few days and it is a little unusual because it is the summer season. One way of recycling that many people don’t consider is recycling rainwater. Instead of the rain being soaked into the ground or evaporated, we can use rain barrels to store the water for later use. There are also rain chains that can be purchased at home improvement stores or online and they are designed to transform a simple gutter downspout into a beautiful water feature. A rain chain will allow the rain to “dance” downward depending on the design of the rain chain. Good idea isn’t it? I think it’s a fun way to decorate your home. I should have used something like this when I was still living in the Philippines where it rains a lot.

 

I remember being a little kid and playing in the rain with my cousins at the back of our house where there’s a tall fence and the neighbors can’t really see us.
