I recently started a new job in the sales department of a company. One of my duties include finding and ordering promotional products. There are many more different ones to choose from than I ever realized. So far, I have ordered some ink pens, coffee cups, magnets and pads of paper. They all have the companies name, address and phone number with the company logo on it. I think promotional products really help a business promote what they do and sell. I was so amazed at the many different items there was to choose from.

I’m sitting here thanking my lucky stars that I did not accept or complete work for a freelance writing client. I remember excitedly telling my husband about the project and how much money I could make from it. But that night when I sat down to write, not only did the thoughts not come but I also had a massive headache. I took it as a sign and got to bed early that night. Come to find out that the company was a scam and they never paid their writers. Things are so bad with this company that they are being sued by a few writers who they hired. God is so good to me on that. I couldn’t imagine having to go through waiting for money like that. And they pay $50.00 per article. Unbelievable.

This summer the heat has been more than I could bear so I came up with a solution while I go about my daily business in the sun. I bought a small purse-size bottle with a spray nozzle attached to it and filled it with water so every time I get out, and the heat gets unbearable, I spray some water on my face, neck and shoulders to cool down. It works. You should try it.
