Pink Slip Got You Pooped?

It's easy to be depressed these days. Everywhere we go, click, watch, read, everyone seems to be relishing in the telling of how bad it is out there.
A lot of us already know this first-hand and don't need the added negative vibes.

Years ago, after puckering from a few too many of life's lemons, Allison Hemming started the "Pink Slip Parties". Later, she founded
The Hired Guns
, a freelance employment agency based in NYC.

Flavorwire published an interview with Allison in which she provides tips on employment survival.

Now go make some lemonade for that LayoffTini.

Tag, You Sold It

Don't you just want to ransack your closets and get rid of all your junk?

But the thought of spending a weekend waiting for someone to pass by with a yearning for your old candlestick holders just keeps the pack rat in hibernation.

Tagsellit.com could be your path to a clutter-free existence.

You can list up to 200 items on a single page, and your first 5 items list for free.
Tagsellit doesn't charge commissions either.

Best part is you don't have to spend your junk money on a DVD from the Video Professor to figure this site out.

So, if you think they'll like it, you should put a tag on it.

Ain't Nobody's Business But Your Own

Your business is your own. And just because you sometimes have to do it in a public space, with strangers often too close for comfort, well...it's still business better kept private.

Now thanks to Poof drops you can remain anonymous. Poof is a toilet deoderizer that neutralizes odor without the harsh chemicals of reactive sprays, which often create their own disturbing odors calling more attention to your presence.

Pouring a few Poof drops in the toilet water creates a transluscent seal trapping odors, while releasing the scent of Japanese mint!

Go ahead. Say it. Your Poof doesn't stink.

Point. Shoot. Picnik.

Wouldn't you just love it if all(any?)of your photos were, um, good?
Oh sure you could read the camera's manual. Read the manual?! Manuals are for people who...aren't me.

Nope. I prefer to shoot now and apologize for the red-eye later.

And obviously the folks at Picnik.com were thinking of folks like me when they dreamed up their site.

Upload your photo. Crop out the ex BF. Click save. Download your new photo.

It's that simple. And it's free. AND - you don't even have to register for the free basic service. That's worth repeating. Repeat. You do NOT have to register for the free basic service.

All that without the ants. Now that's a picnik worth its salt.

Mouse over to The Wright Stop

One day they wear 3-6 months, the next day they're 12.

Ok, so kids don't grow that fast, but they do fly through clothes faster than budget-conscious moms would like.

If you're looking for ways to clothe your little one without having to wear your birthday suit, check out The Wright Stop.

Run by a stay-at-home mom of 3, the site sells used children's clothing for damn cheap. Prices start at an amazingly low 10 cents.

Power Rangers PJ's for a quarter? That's Wright.
