Chicago Diva On A Dime

A lot of my friends and myself included always end up broke after the Holidays. How would you like an extra Thousand dollars by Christmas 2015? Well I want to Challenge you to join me to save money in 2015. Now for me right now its a bit hard. But I suggest you do what I did to start my fund. Just find a box or jar. Then I emptied my wallet poof 4 quarters. Week #1 Dollar is done. You can also add extra money if you have it to speed up your savings. Good Luck All I will try and keep you informed of my progress.

     As you may know I tried this challenge last year. However, due to many factors I stopped on the 9th or 10th day. But it is a New Year and the Number 1 Resolution is weight loss I'm trying it again. I'm not going to give you the "New Year New me" speech! But it's a great time to start the Challenge! Especially since the Ab challenge is little hard to read, so starting on the first day is easier! I did choose these challenge because of the gradual increase. Which should help us both. I also picked these challenges because you get a day off every 4 days which is about when I really need it! Of course with all workout plans ask your Doctor first! But if he/she says it's ok! Join me! I personally won't be posting before and after pictures but I will give a weekly progress report!       *I also installed two new apps to help with dieting from the Play Store (I currently have an Android) 30 Day Fitness Challenges and joined Spark Peop...

As most of you know I love and breath social media. What started out as a hobby has blossomed into what I hope is a career, or at least a fun side job. But I have to say trying to find time to do it all is not as easy as it seems. Especially lately my Fibro is acting up but to make matters worst, I gained 40lbs in about 6 months. My Doctor kept trying to say it was all my fault, the weight gain. However, a new Doctor just explained to me its the meds I was on. Since cutting those out I lost over 7lbs. Thats not a lot but great since I am limited by the pain when it comes to working out. But I am staying positive that soon I will have this down to a bearable minimum. I try to also not complain about it much online. Thats what family is for. LOL! Id love to connect with other women going through this too. If you are or know someone. God Bless! And know that there are others like you out here. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog.

     Best Buy is teaming up with Intel Technology to give the Intel Experience! I was really excited when I found out that I was going to be able to try out, the Intel Experience at Best Buy. According to a recent survey 79% of Americans are excited to try new technology. I am definitely one of them. I want the latest smartphone, laptop, and gadgets. Sometimes my wallet doesn't agree with me. But like half of those people surveyed, who love trying new technology.  I get frustrated because I read such great reviews about a product, but I do not get to try it. Seeing a great review always makes me want to try it more. And most people agree.  Being in the Chicago Metropolitan area means that I am located between to of the Best Buy locations, one in Downers Grove and one in Gurnee. But even if your not located near those locations. Best Buy has a total of 50 stores in major markets for you to experience the power of Intel for yourself....
