I am picky... about everything! I have a hard time finding make-up foundation that I like. I've struggled with this my whole life.
Problems: 1. I don't like greasy 2. I have uneven skin tone 3. I'm fair 4. I don't like thick 5. I don't like inhaling fumes or powders 6. I don't like spending a lot of money
My cousin gave me a liquid foundation and I thought I'd give it a try. Bingo! Finally, a foundation that I like!
1. Very reasonably priced 2. Color evens out my skin tone 3. Doesn't leave a streak line 4. Isn't greasy and mixes well with any moisturizer that I try 5. Is thick but spreads nicely 6. Doesn't stink!
This is one of my favorite things!

MyHeritage.com is a website that combines genealogy and technology. The average person has access to finding and posting all about their ancestors. This is a hobby and passion of many people today.
"Our vision has been to make it easier for people around the world to use the power of the Internet to discover their heritage and strengthen their bonds with family and friends."
Not only can you find your ancestors at MyHeritage but you can find out who your baby or child looks like most! This tool is called the "Look-alike Meter". They use the latest in face recognition technology to analyze photos and instantly tell you the results.
All you have to do is upload 3 photos into the website and the computer does the rest. It works best if you have an up close, front facing photo of all - the child, the mother and the father.
After you receive your results, you can post your meter on almost any social network, blog or website. What fun! Best of all, it's FREE!
My opinion: This is a totally fun project. If you have squabbles in your family about who the baby looks like, you can put an end to it with the Look-alike Meter! My only reservation is that in order to sign up you have to give them a lot of info that I don't feel is necessary.
I put our faces into the program and "tested" one child. The results were that he looked equally like both of us!
Are you into researching your genealogy? Would you like to make a family tree? Have you tried the Look-alike Meter? Share your results with us!

We are looking for someplace to go! Got any ideas? Anyone have a timeshare to share? (wink wink) I received this great luggage to review from CSNstores.com and now I need to go on a trip to use it properly!
I would be so proud to stroll down the hotel (or your timeshare) hall with my 3 red suitcases behind me! Ok, so I wouldn't actually be pulling them; my husband and 2 boys would be! (Is that breaking child labor laws?)
We have had the same 2 pieces of luggage since we were married 15 years ago. It was way past time to replace them.
From smallest to larges: 20" Rolling Pullman, 24" Rolling Pullman, and the 28" Rolling Pullman
Features:
Locking Telescopic Handle
2-Large Front Pockets
Up to 30% Expandable
In-Line Blade Wheel System
Side Handle for Lifting
Pieces Nest Into the Next Size
Meets Airline Carry-On Regulations
Meets 62" Airline Size Regulations
Price: $72.99 with FREE shipping!
There are two features that I really like: the expandable sides that easily zip out and the wheels. I put the two smaller pieces into the larger one and easily pulled all three pieces up a flight of stairs. There is one thing that I'm a little leery about: the fabric on the sides is a little thin. I can see how it may tear if handled roughly by an airline.
All in all, it's great luggage and I think it is worth the $72 price tag. My family is very much looking forward to pulling this luggage on our next trip. (wink wink!)
Goody Box: What's the latest and greatest in the frugal living world?
Janet: I found this awesome tool that is going to save me some bucks! It's called CouponChief.com. It helps me find coupon codes so I can save money on my online purchases and I can even use it to make money!
Goody Box: Do you make purchases online very often?
Janet: Oh yes, at least weekly if not every couple of days. If anyone needs coupon codes, it's us! Why pay full price when you can just plug in a coupon code and get a percentage off or free shipping?
Goody Box: What kind of items do you purchase?
Janet: I buy contacts online, ink, books, music, video games and plenty of other things that I can't think of right now. When I go to make the purchase, I usually start looking for coupon codes. I google "coupon codes" and frequently wind up at RetailMeNot or Coupon Cabin. Now that I know about Coupon Chief, I won't have to go through that hassle anymore.
Goody Box: That sounds like a great tool to save. How can you use it to make money? Does it have a money printer in it or what? ;)
Janet: No... very funny! After you sign up with Coupon Chief, you can share coupon codes that you find. The program is called "pays-2-share". When someone makes a purchase and uses your code, you receive 2% of their purchase!
Want to try Coupon Chief out? I am doing a blog giveaway for a $25 gift card for Amazon.com. You could use a coupon code from Coupon Chief and be frugal!!
