Industrial Piercing Pain and Experience

There is an affiliate link in this post.

I had an industrial piercing done on my right ear a little over 10 years ago. I havenโ€™t really thought much about the piercing in several years, but I have recently been considering letting it heal closed. This got me reflecting on why I made the decision to begin with. I thought my experience would be worth sharing here on the blog because it was so different than what I had in โ€ฆ Read the rest

Amazon Reviews Vs Blog Reviews

Iโ€™ve been doing reviews on my other blog, Emily Reviews for over six years now. Iโ€™ve occasionally had friends, family members or acquaintances express how cool they think my blog is, and how they would love to โ€œget free stuffโ€. Product reviewing is fun for me.

Renting A Duplex Or An Apartment? Deciding Which Is Best

Itโ€™s been 7 years since I moved out of my parentsโ€™ house. To date I have lived in two apartment complexes and two duplexes. In my experience, both have some pros and cons.

I think people tend to forget, or maybe just donโ€™t know, that you can rent duplexes for around the same price in most areas. For me, apartment living felt quite a bit different than โ€ฆ Read the rest

Sell Your Stuff โ€“ Where To Sell Your Old Stuff

Where should I sell my stuff to make the most money? Well, that depends a lot on what your โ€œstuffโ€ is. I grew up in a frugal household that regularly took advantage of buying items at thrift stores, yard sales and Ebay. When you purchase items second-hand for a while, you learn that prices can vary quite a bit on the same items on different sites. This is great information to have when youโ€™re looking to buy used items, but โ€ฆ Read the rest
