Run Your Own Business With Apptivo Free

I have an extensive history with working from home, being an independent contractor and running my own business from home. So I am often asked how to set up a home office, how to setup online stores and things of that nature. This is a pretty off topic subject from my usual posts here but I came across Apptivo.com a few months ago thanks to my role as a BzzAgent. Even though many of you asked, I held back speaking of Apptivo which I just signed up with in January. I never recommend a service until I've used it at least 30 days or more, so here I am 2 months later! Apptivo offers numerous free business service tools, which are way too many to list! At first I found the interface too confusing and the help section lack actual help, but a recent upgrade of the Apptivo site has improved it all tremendously.

Apptivo now offers so many services to help run a business which are all so easy to use that the help section is not really needed anymore! You can manage employees, rewards programs, payroll, order management, shipments & more all from Apptivo for free! They can even custom design your e-commerce site for you. You are required to use their hosting which has a fee if you choose that option though, which they don't exactly state up front...that irked me a bit. Their hosting fee is reasonable and as far as I can tell all of Apptivo's other tools are free. So you only pay hosting if you need the custom storefront service. I already have my own storefront set up so I skipped that service but I do use many of the other services offered which a free.All in all I give Apptivo 2 thumbs up. Especially since with a few clicks of the mouse you can setup an e-store on Facebook! Love it! So for all you darlings who emailed me your questions about managing your business, check out Apptivo and see if it works for you.

Chicken Poop On My Lips!

That's right darling, I put Chicken Poop on my lips and liked it! Oh how soft and nourished my lips felt and that smell...it's like no other! Oh Chicken Poop, where were you during all those cold New England winters? My lips needed you! I know you may think I'm crazy but...I love Chicken Poop!

100% Pure, Free Range Chicken Poop Lip Junk...with no actual chicken poop involved. You must try this lip balm and get over the name, which I find hilariously awesome! I got this from Drugstore.com and even if you do not like the product, it is definitely worth having as a funny conversation starter with friends! I'm so the type of silly person that would give these away as wedding favors. High key hilarious! Anyway, check out my YouTube video review of the product and make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

Happy Birthday Big Brother!

So today is my big brother's birthday. As a kid he told me aliens left me at the front door, tried to put me in the dryer to play Hide & Seek and terrorized me by making me think my Corky doll was really Chucky from Child's Play. He also held my hand to cross the street, taught me to shoot hoops and protected me from ever experiencing a single bully moment. As an adult he leaves a mess knowing my germaphobic self will tidy up for him, asks me for computer help like I'm the Geek Squad and tells me TMI about his personal life sometimes (That's when I shout "OMG I'm your sister, call Dave!). He also makes me laugh and laughs at all my jokes, makes room for quality brother/sister time and gives me first dibs at yummy treats from his bakery (318 Cakes & Bakes). So, with all that it evens out somehow. I mean it could've been worse...at least he never started the dryer! I love my big brother! Happy Birthday Shaun!
