Every time I go to Goodwill or a garage sale, I see lots of books. I also see cds and even dvds. There are so many people out there that buy these, because it is kind of cheap. It does add up after awhile. It is nice to get new books, movies, and cds every once in awhile to replace the ones that we are tired of playing, watching or have finished reading. Well, I just came across a site called SwitchPlanet.com where you can swap out these with other members! It’s a cool idea. You set up an account for free. You list the items you have to swap (they accept DVDs, CDs, videos games, and books). It doesn’t cost you anything to list these. When you list, you do not ask for money for your item, you ask for the internal currency called switchbucs. When another member wants an item you have listed, they must have enough switchbucs in their account to get your item. If they don’t, they can purchase these from the site. Once they request the item, and have the correct amount of switchbucs, you mail out the item to them. You pay for the shipping costs. That is it. When you request an item, the person you request from pays to ship the item to you. No money is exchanged. The item is now yours to keep! You can switch with any member, it doesn’t have to be with the member that wants your stuff or the member whose stuff you want.ÂÂ

SwitchPlanet.com is not just a swap site, it is a social site. There are member groups with different themes. You can join groups that have members with similar interests to yours. You can start your own group if there isn’t one that appeals to you! Just like other social websites, you can create a profile for others to find out a little bit more about you.

If you are in to giving to charities, or have thought about donating and just never get around to doing it, Switch Planet offers something called Switch Funds. This is where you can donate to some very good causes throught your Switch Planet account. This is a great way to give a little bit back to the planet while you are saving a little money by swapping out stuff you don’t use for free. Neat idea!

You can meet new friends and get new games, movies, and music…nice combo! Try it out today, I did!

When I first visited the Dremu website, the first thing I wanted to look at was the research. I mean, you always hear about anti wrinkle products, but wonder what kind of research went into claiming this. Emu oil is the one ingredient in Dremu Oil (which is said to be the world’s only perfected triple-refined version for the skin). According to Dremu.com, Emu oil can:

• quickly and thoroughly penetrate the skinÂÂ
• nourish and heal skin at the cellular level and regrow collagenÂÂ
• relieve pain and has anti-inflammatory properties

This first information I read led me to want to read more about this product. I really don’t spend much time or money on my skin, but I found it interesting that the main ingredient, Demu oil can be used for more than just wrinkles. Being nearly 40 years old and still having to do battle with acne, I am now having to think about wrinkles as well. If there is a product out there that can do both of these effectively, I may have to try it out.   As I read on, I found that Dremu oil can aid many skin care issues. They do explain that the emus they get their emu oil from  to create Dremu oil are not given any hormones, steroids or antibiotics. This would, I would think, effect the purity of the oil.

The more I read about Dremu oil, the more facinated I have become. The cost is definately a bit high for me, but if it actually works, it may just be worth the investment. If Dremu oil can take care of all of the skin care problems that emu oil has shown significant improvements in, the cost is worth it. By the time you buy a product for each individual skin problem, you will be spending much more than you would for a bottle of the Dremu Oil. The triple refined Dremu oil is the main ingredient for all of the Dremu Skin Care Products. There is some really interesting information about the benefits of emu oil on the Dremu.com website.

What was even more fascinating was Dremu oil’s ability to rapidly relieve pain, and reduce inflammation caused by arthritis, sore muscles, stiff joints, bruises and over-exertion. Dremu’s Extra Strength Pain Relief is endorsed by Arthritis Update magazine.

As with most products, they do have testimonials to how well it works. The difference is that there are testimonials from some of the top women’s magazines. Airbrush, their eye cream, was rated 5 stars on Oprah’s iVillage.

You know…it really isn’t too early to start thinking about Halloween! Lots of people really go all out for Halloween. Yard decorations and costume parties are fun for kids and adults alike.

Gift Baskets are a great way to give a gift. No matter what the occasion, the package you give your gift in can be just as exciting to get as the gift inside. When you are faced with getting a gift for someone, but you are just not sure what to get, visiting ArtisticGiftBaskets.com could make things a little bit easier. Gift Baskets are categorized by theme, to make it easy to find the perfect gift basket. I really like the “movie” theme. That is a great gift idea that includes a gift certificate for a membership for movie rentals as well as yummy movie theater candy! The gift baskets have a nice variety of prices so that you can find something easily in your price range.

If you are more of a “DO-It-Your-Self” kind of person,  ArtisticGiftBaskets.com also provides a huge selection of gift basket supplies. They offer supplies such as: balloons, baskets, cellophane bags, bath & spa items, books, bows, gourmet food items, candy and even gift cards to a few national retailers. You can create a nice gift basket just by shopping at one website.

It seems like ArtisticGiftBaskets.com is still adding items to the site at this time, but currently, they have plenty of different items to choose from, especially in the supplies area. The prices on the supplies are really competitive. If you don’t see a gift basket that you like and you just don’t have the time or maybe the talent to put one together yourself, they do offer custom baskets.ÂÂ

I am hoping that they add more information about the products, especially the individual gift baskets. Some of the links were not working, but they did when I checked the other day, so it is probably because the site is still being added to and worked on.ÂÂ
