Vive Precision Oral Thermometer #Review @vivehealthusa

Reviews · June 21, 2017

I received the below mentioned complimentary or discounted product for the purpose of this review. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

Do you own a thermometer in your home? I never, ever thought I would have a need for an oral thermometer until now. This is why I was thrilled to be offered the opportunity to the Oral Thermometer – Best Underarm, Rectal & Axillary Fever Medical Thermometer that is Accurate, Waterproof, Easy Read Display – Electronic Fever Temperature Monitor for Babies and Adults by Vive Precision.

Vive Health is the leader of Premier online retailer for home health products and durable medical equipment. This oral thermometer is both a must have for every home. I never realized just how affordable these were. I thought they would be in other words-Junk! This is so not the case as you can tell by the first feel when you remove the thermometer from the box that the product is well made and durable. Everything you need to take your first temperature is in that box.

About The Product~

Quick reading. Guaranteed accurate.
With the Vive Precision oral thermometer, taking your temperature has never been easier. Simply activate the thermometer, place it under the tongue, and see your temperature displayed in bold font on a large, easy-read LCD screen.
Each device has been rigorously tested for accuracy and consistency. It features an energy-saving automatic shutoff function, and displays temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Perfect for all age ranges, from babies to seniors.

My Thoughts~

I love how I just took it out of the box then out of the cover and pressed the button to turn it on and away you go. You are now ready to take a temperature. The tip to the unit is both flexible and pliable. It cleans up easy with either soap and water or an alcohol wipe. The digital display is very easy to see and read. I now fell ready to have the tools I need if my family gets sick or fells under the weather. I give this product my thumbs up and my highest recommendation. You owe it to your piece of mind to get one for your very own.

What To Do With Unwanted Gift Cards

Reviews · June 20, 2017

There comes a time when you’re cleaning out your home and realize there’s a lot of items you no longer want or need. It’s overwhelming when you’ve let your belongings pile up and now you have to sort through each item and decide what to do with it.

Unwanted gift cards are a real pain if you don’t know how to deal with them. In some cases you didn’t even know you had them, or it’s a store you would never shop at in the first place. Before you go throwing them away, consider your other options. See what to do with unwanted gift cards.

Raffle

If you are or know a blogger or work at a business, they’re always hosting giveaways. Whether it’s online or at a company reception, they have a need for gifts. See if you can use it for this purpose, or if you know a friend who would benefit from raffling off a gift card. It’s the perfect way to not let it go to waste. The recipient will be thrilled to have won anything in the first place.

Sell Them

If you no longer want your gift card, you have options. It’s easy to sell your gift cards online without any hassle to you, the seller. All you need is the name of the company where the gift card is from and the amount available. Sell your gift cards for extra cash and get them out of your pocket for good.

Regift It

You might not want your gift card, but it’s possible someone else is interested in the merchant. Give your gift card as a gift at a holiday or birthday party. There’s nothing wrong with regifting it if it’s not a store you like and you think the recipient will be genuinely happy receiving it. Make sure that if you do give it to someone else that the store is appropriate for the person you’re giving it to, so as to avoid an awkward situation.

Shop

Go shopping with your gift card and see what you find. If you’ve already tried to spend it, try again months later. Perhaps there’ll be new merchandise in stock for you. Maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised and get a product you’ve been wanting in exchange for your old gift card. You have nothing to lose, so it’s worth a trip to the store to at least check and see.

Donate It

A nice gesture is to donate your gift card. Ask around in the community or where you volunteer and see if there’s someone who could use it for their group or business. Give them the card for free as a nice gesture and as part of your service. They’ll be happy to receive such a kind gift. It’s especially meaningful if you donate to an organization with whom you’ve worked with in the past.

Conclusion

It’s time to clean your home and gather all of your unwanted gift cards. There are plenty of ways to use them. These are a few ideas for what to do with unwanted gift cards.

Popular Niches for #Bloggers – How to Build an Online Audience

Reviews · June 10, 2017

Blogging and Vlogging is a hugely popular activity in the 21^st century. Millions of people post their thoughts online, hoping to capture the attention of an avid audience. When a blog takes off, it can easily reach tens of thousands of people each day. You can also gain the attention of sponsors, which in time will help boost your revenue. However, if you have never started a blog before, you might be wondering what on earth to write about.

Read on for some suggestions on the most popular categories in the blogosphere. These are in no particular order, so take your pick and choose one that resonates best with your interests. After all, it’s truly painful to have to write about a subject you care nothing about, and if you want your blog to be successful, you need to keep it updated as often as possible!

Music

It should come as no surprise that music blogs are enormously popular. Most people love music of one genre or another. A music blog is a great place to review the latest album releases or create fan blog for your favorite artist. You don’t need to stick to popular music genres. Any type of music will do, from classical to hip-hop and rap. Write posts about the music you love and include lots of visual content. You could even upload videos of you singing along to your favorite tracks!

Fashion

There are loads of fashion blogs online. Fashion is an enduring passion for women, men, and kids. Use your fashion blog to talk about the latest fashion trends, catwalk collections, and your best fashion tips. Fashion blogs need to be image heavy, so take the time to add plenty of high quality photos to your posts, preferably images you have shot yourself.

Personal tips always go down well on a fashion blog. If you have an eye for fashion or you love to create cool vintage looks from garments you make or find in thrift shops, blog about it. Link your blog to social media sites like Instagram and Pinterest. In no time at all, you will have an audience ready and waiting to devour your posts.

Travel

Travel blogging has long been a popular way to post about our travels to far-flung places. What better way to keep family and friends abreast of our amazing adventures. Instead of sending text messages, we can write posts and include images of the places we visit and the wonderful experiences we have along the way. Travel blogs often focus on specific locations, but if you are part-way through a round the world trip on a shoestring, feel free to write about the countries you visit and the sights you see. Just make sure you take lots of photos to enrich your descriptions.

The great thing about a travel blog is that it can help fund your travel. This won’t happen overnight, of course, but once you build an audience, you can monetize your blog and use the money you make to pay for new trips. It’s the modern way to travel!

Wedding

Our wedding day is the best day of our life and, all being well, we only get one bite of the cherry, so we want to make the experience count. Are you planning your dream wedding? If so, start writing a blog and take your readers on an amazing journey from the moment you said “I do” to the day you return from a romantic honeymoon.

Blog about anything wedding related, from the latest wedding dress trends, men’s wedding ring’s to vintage engagement ring settings. As long as it is wedding themed, your readers will love it. You can also invite guest bloggers to contribute content. There is a big market for anything related to weddings, so it will be very easy to find people eager to write posts for your blog.

Parenting

Parents love to share their pain. Having kids is a life-changing experience and once you become a parent, it is only natural that you want to shout out about the good times or the bad times. Mommy blogs are very popular. Millions of parents use their blog as a way of staying sane and connecting with other parents in a similar stage of life. What you write about is up to you, but the best blogs are authentic and populated with useful, informative content.

Write from the heart and be honest about your experiences as a parent. Other parents look out for blogs that resonate with how they are feeling at a particular moment in time. Parenting is immensely rewarding, but never easy, so be honest and tell it how it is. If you have had a bad day and you want nothing more than a large glass of wine, tell your readers. Engage with them when they talk about their own families; you are all on this crazy journey together.

Tech

Are you an expert on tech subjects? Do you spend your free time surfing Amazon for the latest gadgets? If so, a tech blog will be right up your street. Talk about the latest technology and review gadgets. There is a big audience for tech blogs, but technology moves on very quickly, so you need to be willing to keep your blog updated as often as possible. Any technology-related subject will do, so branch out into any tech niche you find interesting.

One of the good things about starting a tech blog is that once you become a well-known blogger, tech companies will invite you to try out their products in return for a review!

Gaming

Are you a gaming fanatic? If so, a gaming blog is a top choice. There is an avid audience for gaming blogs that cover everything in the gaming world, including the latest console and PC game releases to Minecraft mods and hacks to help you level up faster on WoW. Add a range of content to keep your audience coming back. You can choose to specialize in one niche of gaming, for instance MMOs, mobile gaming, or your chosen console platform, or you can cover game news and reviews from all different sectors of the industry.

Local Blogs

A lot of bloggers find great success by creating blogs that focus on their local areas. These can work very well, as you have a very clear target audience. You can write about everything from upcoming local events to reviews of local restaurants and businesses, and you may find that you build up a community quite quickly who are interested in providing more content for you. You can also talk to businesses in the area who may be interested in advertising on your blog or sponsoring you. If you live in a city that already has good local blog coverage, you can consider looking at a specific niche within your local area and focusing on that – for example a blog about local nightlife, or a family oriented local blog.

Fitness

Whether you are really into fitness, or just starting out on a journey to a better body, a fitness blog can be a great way to keep yourself motivated and also share your thoughts on different fitness related products and topics. You can focus on a specific topic, like crossfit, yoga or bodybuilding, or you can cover a broader range of things, but readers do tend to find personal blogs about fitness really inspiring and useful.

Consumer Reviews

A lot of people look to blogs for information before they buy a product, and so having a site where you talk about and review different things you have bought or tried can be a great way to gain an audience. If you are successful and people come to trust your reviews, you may even find that brands want to offer you products to try and write about, meaning you could get some great free stuff! This can be a really good niche to get into if you want to make videos rather than write, too, as review videos can be simple to make and tend to be trusted more than written reviews.

Recipes

If you love cooking, and are always experimenting with new recipes, then having your own food blog can be a great way to keep your recipes together and share them with the world. You can put your favorite family recipes online, post recipes you have discovered while traveling, or create special recipes of your own. Whether you pick a niche such as low fat recipes, vegan food, or cuisine from a specific culture, or you just post the stuff you like to eat, you should find an eager audience looking for new cooking inspiration.

These are just a few of the niches that bloggers tend to do well in. In reality, anything you are passionate about or knowledgeable in can make for a good blog topic, so whether you choose one of these or something entirely different, be sure to enjoy creating content and make your blog as authentic and engaging as you can!
