USell.com - Finds You Money ASAP

We pretty much all know by now that selling our used electronics, cellphones, iPads, etc. is one way to get some quick money. And probably most of us have bookmarked sites where we can sell our used stuff quickly. USell.com should be on your list as well - and if it is not yet, you may want to add it now.

What makes USell a bit different from other sites that buy used stuff is that they will instantly find you the most money for the item you are selling. So if you have a smartphone that you no longer want, all you have to do is enter the details and Usell searches its network of trusted, professional buyers and instantly shows you the best offers for your device.

While you can pick the buyer you want to work with based on the best price offered, you may also want to take a minute to compare reviews of each buyer also.

Once you have decided which offer to accept, you notify that buyer via the online form provided, and they will send you a postage paid mailer so you can ship your device for free. You will also select how you would like to be paid - via Paypal or by check.

Once the buyer has received your item and confirmed all is as you indicated it would be (condition, style, etc.) your payment will be processed quickly in the method that you chose. uSell monitors every step of your transaction to ensure that you are 100% satisfied.

All Usell buyers are professional organizations with positive user reviews and stellar customer service. And all sellers' information is kept secured and never shared.

D.I.Y. Wrinkle Face Mask



Want a cheaper way to fight wrinkles?

Reservatol is one of the best antioxidants you can use to help keep wrinkles at bay, problem is that beauty products containing this ingredient are usually pretty expensive. 

Luckily, red grapes have plenty of this amazing natural antioxidant. So instead of spending your hard-earned money on brand name facials, try making this d.i.y wrinkle face mask at home instead.


All you'll need to make this facial at home are a few red grapes, a little olive oil and some flour. It's easy to make this all-natural beauty treatment, so why not give it a try?

Ingredients:

4-6 red grapes
1 Tbs. olive oil
3 Tbs. flour

How To:

Gently cut open the grapes to remove any seeds, then puree the grapes with the olive oil in a blender. Mix the grape puree with the flour in a small bowl.

Smooth gently over face (make sure to clean your skin first,) and relax for about 15 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.

{Try this d.i.y. pumpkin -yogurt face mask too!}

SOS Kitchen Tip - Overcooked Rice


Here is a cool SOS kitchen tip to help you save your sanity not to mention a little bit of money the next time you burn the rice accidentally let the rice overcook, just a tad....

First, save the rice that has not been burned by scooping it up with a spoon and transferring it to a new clean pot. Next, thinly slice an onion and put several slices on top of the saved rice. Cover the pot and let it sit for about 10 minutes. The onion will absorb the burn smell from the rice.

Finally, take the lid off the pot and remove the sliced onion. Your rice should now be ready to eat and enjoy.

The key here is that hopefully enough rice was able to be saved so that you will not have to make a new batch of rice and instead can save whatever rice you may have left in the box for another day!

Make Your Own Pumpkin-Yogurt Face Mask


Have any cans of pumpkin pie filling left over from the holidays? Use a can of the yummy stuff plus a bit of honey and yogurt to make a luscious exfoliating skin mask!

Here is what you need:
1/4 cup canned pumpkin pie filling
1 tsp. vanilla yogurt
1 tsp. honey

Mix the ingredients together until you get a creamy consistency. Then lightly smooth the mixture over your face (slightly dampen your skin beforehand.)

Relax about 10-15 minutes, then wash away gently with warm water.

*Always test a new treatment on a small area of your arm first, just to make sure your skin is not too sensitive.
