Just How Versatile is Tupperware?

If you have seen my Facebook Live product demonstrations then you know how often I talk about how versatile our Tupperware products are. Now I'm sure you're thinking "Just how versatile are your products?" They are so versatile that even serious gamers can find use for our products. On the left, this is our bread keeper which I purchased as part of our month special. The main function of this product is to store bread and keep it fresh. There are small holes in the top, as you can see, to allow for your bread to breathe or rather get the appropriate air flow. When you are a serious gamer like me, we are particular with our games and systems. We enjoy playing the older games as well as the new games. The most classic of the systems is the original NES system or Nintendo Entertainment System (NES); and you thought it was just a nickname 🤣🤣. If you were to purchase original NES, Sega, Super NES, or N64, it's likely that it will not come with a case or anything ...

Saving and Earning (Consultant Edition)

Living paycheck to paycheck is not living it's stressing, giving into anxiety, worrying about where your next bill payment is coming from or where your next meal is coming from. In present day, stable income is difficult to come by even if you have a steady job, you're still hurting financially because what you have is not cutting it. When you're supporting a family, it becomes more dire to KNOW how you're going to cross that finish line. The pandemic left many out of work and now businesses are struggling to get back to business due to lack of staff. These same businesses had no choice to but cut down on their staff because they were closed or significantly cut their operating hours that they could not sustain the size of their staff. Direct sales companies flourished because it was the only business where operating hours were able to remain because it transferred to virtual. I started my business in September 2020. I wasn't sure how it was going to go with much...

How to Sweat and Not Lose a Drop

When you're not a fan of working out but you are a fan of long walks, the weather is never your friend. In the winter, it can be too cold to walk (though it's the weather I prefer) and the summer is too hot and sticky however it's not just the stickiness that gets to me. I heat up quickly, feeling all kinds of discomfort from headaches to tiredness to the swelling of my hands and feet. My oldest stepson doesn't too well either. If he's in the heat too long, he becomes disoriented, short of breath, and he can also swell up. As you can tell, with as hot as it's been, I have not gone on walks like I wanted however since I got myself the Xtreme Aqua Freezeable Bottle, I want to see how we do. The XtremeAqua Freezeable Bottle really is amazing. I brought the bottle to my work, fully frozen. This is what it looked like by about 2, 3pm. It was sitting in my office since 8am. Usually a normal water bottle would've been completely thawed and let's face it, drunk...

A Healthy Breakfast of Fruit

The most common resolution for a new year, new month, and new day is to lose weight. I should know, I've made the same resolution several times. I can't have the same breakfast every day, it bothers my stomach. Some days I can eat scrambled eggs, other days I can't; some days I can eat avocados, other days I can't; some days oatmeal seems appealing but most days, I can't. This morning I had a breakfast that I can most definitely tolerate: fruit. I don't always have time to sit down and have a proper breakfast. Today was one of those days because I woke up late. The fastest breakfast I could get together is grapefruit and cherries. I put them in my Lunch-It container (which is environmentally friendly being made from recyclable materials like our eco water bottles). The lunch-it container is great for portion control and for snacks. As you can see, it was perfect for my breakfast this morning. They are really ideal for snacks, cold lunches, and fruit. It's...

A Delicious Dinner is a Delicious Lunch

For those of us who struggle to bring lunch to work everyday know it's because 1) sometimes we don't know what to bring and 2) we just don't make the time because we have to find extra containers, find the right container which has eaten up our "free" time before we head into work. It's also because when you have a family at home, you want to save the leftovers for them so your spouse or partner isn't scrambling to plan a meal during their already busy day. Well, at least that's my dilemma however I'm about to share with you a quick dinner for 5 that is fast, easy, and portable. Did I say portable? Yes I did. Our journey for this dinner begins at one of my favorite grocery stores, Wegmans. Now I know what you're thinking, "Gemma, you just shared with us about saving money and you go to Wegmans?" I do but not for EVERYTHING and not ALL THE TIME. Wegmans is like a treat but just because you're tight on finances does not mean they ...

Shopping on a Tight Budget (Host Edition)

Shopping on a budget can be frustrating and downright not fun. It occurs often when you're doing this thing called adulting and if you're like me, you hope for a chance to splurge on yourself to get things you WANT instead of constantly paying for things you NEED (like paying bills). This pandemic has not helped things. Since the reopening of businesses (those that survived the pandemic), prices have skyrocketed which I'm sure it's to help these businesses regain ground. Many are on tight budgets. Grocery shopping has even become a headache because $40 doesn't get you far even in the discounted grocery stores like Aldi's and Grocery Outlet. The average lowest grocery bill for my family of 5 is $70-$80 while the most expensive has been $160-180. It may seem low but when you take bills and other necessities into account, that's a lot to lose. One way to save money is to use an app called Flashfood. Flashfood tells you what stores in your area has discounte...
