Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Capture those Special Moments and Make Memories This Season with Best Buy

May 8, 2013 by joscelynC Leave a Comment

These past 6 – 8 weeks have been a true roller coaster of emotions, craziness, pain, frustration, sadness joy, and blessings. Starting from the visit of my mother-in-law, who has been battling cancer for the past 5 years, to my own mother being hospitalized twice (and almost dying) due to severe complications from her dialysis and heart issues – needless to say its been a very overall exhausting period in our lives.

During all the constant back and forth to hospitals, doctor offices, rehabilitation centers etc., pictures that I take of my mother have been a source of personal comfort and connection to those family and friends that separated from us by the distance. Often people remark how “well” my Mother looks and how “she doesn’t even look sick” even when the picture is taken on a hospital bed. She is blessed with beauty, despite age and physical condition, but its her unwavering faith that shines through her to everyone she meets. Plus, she doesn’t EVER like to look sick – as she was coming out of anesthesia in the recovery room after open heart surgery two years ago, the first thing she asked me was for a comb and lipstick. Why? Because she did want the doctors and surgeons to think she looked “sick”!

Thankfully, this Mother’s Day, it is planned for my Mom to be released back to the home she shares with my father after almost 2 months away from her home (and in medical facilities).

This season of Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Graduations are those important memory-making occasions that often lead to frame-worthy photo opportunities. Best Buy can help you never miss the important moments with a wide assortment of the latest cameras, including DSLR cameras, action camcorders, and compact cameras with long zoom, low light and wi-fi.

Staples: One-Stop Shop to Help You Shed, Shred, and Get Ahead

February 27, 2013 by joscelynC 1 Comment

The beginning of every new year brings resolutions and desires of change professionally and personally. Often in both aspects, organization is key to accomplish yearly goals and everyday tasks. The preparation for the upcoming tax season has already begun and with it comes the need to be efficient and streamlined. As a wife, mother, and business owner, I am always looking for methods or tools that will help my productivity, keep me coordinated, and on schedule. Staples, the world’s largest office products company and second largest internet retailer, makes it easy to get organized by helping customers increase efficiency and organize the office with an expanded assortment of products in a few easy steps.

Shed – purge unwanted files or papers and organize the documents in binders. The Internal Revenue Service recommends keeping important business records from three to seven years, depending on the documents. Staples recently launched its Binder Recycling Program, which gives customers $2 off the purchase of a new binder for each binder they bring in to a Staples store to recycle.
Shred – protect your business and identity against fraud by shredding unneeded paperwork with sensitive information. For larger jobs, consider Staples Copy & Print, which offers confidential shredding at great prices. Free shredding is now available valid through April 30, 2013. Drop off documents at any Staples stores (up to 5 lbs) so to get free shredding (and help protect against identity theft).
Get Ahead – The new year is also a good time to make sure electronic files are secure and protected. It’s critical for any small business owner to have the right organizational tools such as network storage devices to back up files especially as tax season gets started.

With busy schedules and various endeavors, I always feel the need to categorize and prioritize. A large part of my personal life and business requires me to be mobile. It’s important for me to have the correct information when I need it so I find organizational and productivity tools to be essential. Staples top assortment of organizational products help to stay coordinated throughout the year.

Staples New BETTER^®Binder with removable FileRings™ - the first of its kind binder features file rings that detach from the shell for easy filing in any standard filing cabinet. Now available in black, white, red, green and blue covers exclusively on Staples.com (Staples 1-inch BETTER Binder: $12.99 and removable FileRings: $4.99).

The binders are DURABLE. The ring mechanism has been put through 1,000 open and closed cycles so you know they work (very important so documents do not accidentally fall out). The FileRings are removable and detach to fit into any standard file cabinet (great for home or work). The binder has flexible edges and an easy-insert spine which is useful for labeling purposes. Every Staples Better Binder is GUARANTEED FOR LIFE.

Staples One-Touch™ Aero Stapler – Perfect for the consumer who has an eye for design and likes to personalize their desk supplies. The 20-sheet capacity Aero offers contemporary designs with a raised handle that makes stapling effortless. Available in black, silver or blue. ($14.99)

As much as I rely on technology, I like to have a hardcopy of many important documents. Many in-person meetings with clients or brands often have an agenda or supporting documentation needed to facilitate the meeting. I need to keep all my documents secure so stapling is the easiest way. I can certainly appreciate the one-touch aero stapler with its soft-touch grip and non-skid base. The fact that it staples up to 20 sheets of 20 lb. paper with less effort than standard staplers is a huge PLUS and a TIME-SAVER.

M by Staples™ Arc Customizable Notebook System –Available in durable poly or leather covers with premium, heavyweight paper, this customizable notebook has repositionable sheets that can moved from one section to another making organization a breeze. (Starting at $7.99) See a short video of how the Arc Notebook System is a helpful resource for a working Mom by clicking: HERE

I really enjoyed the variety of the Arc Notebook system. You can color coordinate with flags or dividers, rearrange or move pages, add weekly/monthly planners etc. Its light-weight and comes in a various colors (perfect if you want to have a separate one for your home or business). The price is really AFFORDABLE for so much organization the way you need it – all in ONE PLACE.

Relay Flash Drives – The easy and smart way to transfer files from one computer to another. (64GB-$69.99; 32GB-$49.99; 16GB-$27.99; 8GB-$17.99)

When you are on the go, you need access to your information at anytime. I rely on Flash Drives to be able to get the documents and information I need when I need it. I use it as a backup for my computer and electronic equipment. The Relay Flash Drives are a RELIABLE, quick, and easy way to SECURE your information. The handy retractable design means NO MORE LOST CAPS!

Whether looking for affordable office (and home) products or needing to get organized, Staples has what you need!

Dunkin’ Donuts All-Day Menu Options and $25 Giftcard Giveaway @DDCentFla #DDCFlaAnytime

February 26, 2013 by joscelynC 102 Comments

When you think about Dunkin’ Donuts, what do you think of? Flavored coffee, variety of donuts (chocolate, cinnamon raisin, everything on it donuts etc) or assorted munchkins? Did you know that Dunkin’ Donuts is not just for tasty donuts and coffee at breakfast only anymore?

Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, is adding some extra value to its-all day menu options, serving up Bakery Sandwiches for the suggested retail price of $2.99 during February. (The value offer is available at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants).

We recently had the pleasure of attending a Dunkin’ Donuts event in the Orlando area. The Dunkin’ Donuts located at 8485 South Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando is conveniently located next to the Florida Mall, and open from 5a.m. to 11p.m. seven days a week. The restaurant features comfortable seating for approximately 30 guests with interior table and booth seating. To provide an engaging and friendly environment for guests, the new restaurant also offers large flat-screen televisions, free Wi-Fi and drive-thru for guest convenience. Additionally, the restaurant has conference room equipped with high-tech capabilities which can be booked for meetings by calling the restaurant.

Part of the Dunkin’ Donuts’ all-day menu lineup at participating restaurants nationwide are the Bakery Sandwiches and they are available in varieties including Ham & Cheese; Turkey Sausage; Turkey, Cheddar & Bacon; Chicken Salad and Tuna Salad; and Texas Toast Grilled Cheese. All of Dunkin Donuts’ Bakery Sandwiches are served oven-toasted and made-to-order on a French roll, bagel, croissant, Texas Toast, or multi-grain flatbread.

At the Orlando event, we were able to try a sampling of all varieties of the Bakery Sandwiches and they were DELICIOUS! The Turkey, Cheddar & Bacon was among our favorites (and we added a smoked-house sausage in substitute for bacon). All the sandwiches were fresh and straight from the oven just like all the sandwiches are at Dunkin’ Donuts locations. The hashbrowns (which can be added as combo with a bakery sandwich and a drink) are very TASTY – they are lightly seasoned and crisp (not at all soggy or too greasy).

Dunkin’ Donuts recently introduced Caramel K-Cup packs, a new flavor of the brand’s popular K-Cup packs for use with the Keurig K-Cup Brewing System. Available for a limited time exclusively at participating locations nationwide, the Caramel K-Cups are a blend of 100% Arabica beans with the taste and aroma of sweet and creamy caramel. Other K-Cup flavors available are Original Blend, Dunkin’ Decaf, French Vanilla, Hazelnut and Dunkin’ Dark Roast at the suggested retail price for a 14-count box of $11.99.

Chocolate lovers will rejoice now that Dunkin’ Donuts has unveiled a Dark Chocolate Mocha Coffee (available hot or iced); Dark Chocolate Mocha Latte (available hot or iced); Dark Chocolate Mocha Frozen Coffee Coolatta; and a Dark Hot Chocolate. For bagel lovers, the new French Toast Bagel with reduced fat Cinnamon Cream Cheese Spread are available all day at participating locations nationwide for a limited time.

All of the new menu items are very tasty, affordable, and available all day – anytime meals, snacks, after-school, before work – anytime is a great time for Dunkin’ Donuts!

Thanks to @DDCentFla and Dunkin’ Donuts, we are hosting a Dunkin’ Donuts $25 giftcard giveaway! Did you know Dunkin’ Donuts has a mobile app? Get it for easy payments, Dunkin’ Donuts giftcard gifting, mobile coupons, a Dunkin’ store locator, menu and nutrition info, and more. (App on iPhone: click HERE and App for Android: click HERE).

Why Using a Travel Agent is the Right and Affordable Choice with Kamy Moss from Dreamfinder Travel

January 30, 2013 by joscelynC 2 Comments

Why Use a Travel Agent…can’t I do it myself?? Yes, you can do it yourself. Thanks to the invention of Google and other search engines, most people can navigate their way around the World Wide Web locating hotels, attraction tickets, dining guides and anything else they might need to plan the vacation of their dreams. Still there are people like me…we refer to ourselves as Travel Agents, Travel Planners, or any other creative name we can think of that…and part of our mission is to entice people to welcome us into their lives. You might have used one of us at a time in your lives when you were too preoccupied or overwhelmed to take care of important travel details, i.e. honeymoon or large family reunion. However, when it comes to your annual family vacation or couples getaway, you sit down in front of your computer and plan away, usually enjoying all the discovery and details. But we are still here.

Why?? There is a simple answer, with a rather detailed explanation. Why use a Travel Agent? Two words: TIME and MONEY! A Travel Agent is an expert. Someone who can save you time and money by handling all the details, no matter how small, and by making sure you get the best deals around.

Now, I love to plan vacations and I know that while enjoyable, it can be very time-consuming. Hours are spent online or waiting on hold to verify dates and rates, finding the best deals, and trying to navigate attractions and reservations. A Travel Agent is your planning professional, knowledgeable from extensive training, and devoted to making sure you are getting up to date and comprehensive information. In the everyday hustle and bustle of life, it is hard to find the time to set aside for vacation planning. While you may have some time, a Travel Agent can be your partner, assisting in as much or as little of the planning you desire. Don’t want to give up all the control? You don’t have to. Don’t have time to research and learn about your destination? A Travel Agent can answer questions, make suggestions, and organize your itinerary.

Now MONEY…well, that is a big one, huh? For many families, the economy has put travel plans on the backburner. For a die-hard traveler like me, this is disheartening. Yet there is good news because not only does using a Travel Agent free up your time, it saves you valuable vacation dollars and costs you nothing additional. Yep, you heard me right! My services are complimentary and my inside connections can save you hundreds of dollars! From the beginning, we are always monitoring the specials, making sure you get the best deal out there, offering client incentives, onboard credits for select cruises, and more. Yes, you can book a vacation yourself, but if someone with expertise and experience can help you for FREE, why not? You work hard for your money and deserve to take time out to explore the world and share it with the people you love. I firmly believe that to see the world is to really live and the experiences you have will make memories that last a lifetime.

TIME and MONEY. Yes, it is that simple. So, that brings us to another question….why choose me?

Besides being a DreamMaker for DreamFinder Travel, an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, I am a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge with a deep understanding of the Disney vacation experience and an avid Disney vacationer. With firsthand experience of many Disney travel destinations and my passion for vacation, I am confident I can make your dream vacation a reality. With Dreamfinder Travel, you get personalized service, the most competitive onboard credits available, and continuous monitoring of your vacation plans. From booking dining reservations to making sure you are prepared to relax and enjoy your vacation, I am here to help you realize your vacation dreams. I help your vacation goals into your budget and can make it affordable too! When it’s time to plan your next vacation, whether it is a magical voyage aboard the Disney Fantasy or a European holiday, I hope to hear from you!

Net10 Wireless: Helping Families Save Money & Stay Connected #Net10Latino

December 18, 2012 by joscelynC Leave a Comment

My family moved to Florida almost 3 years ago after having lived and worked the last decade in the Washington D.C. area. We were basically given 4-5 weeks to move from the Washington D.C. area to Florida as my husband was selected to start a new military based position. In that short amount of time we had to move states, find a home, find schools for (at the time) pre-teen son & toddler identical twin boys, find doctors, pack all of our belongings, and everything that goes along with a move. Fortunately, my elderly parents owned a home near the Central Florida location we were moving to so we did have my parents nearby and I was able to find us a home to rent. During this time in Florida, we have been able to really experience the area and we recently had the extreme blessing of being able to build our family a new home. Being a wife, mother to 3 boys, and small business owner, I understand first-hand the financial struggles placed on families today. In today’s world, families need cell phones. Regardless if it’s for emergency or business purposes, family members rely on cell phones, especially text messaging and internet services. Yet, cell phones bills are extremely expensive quickly becoming the most expensive monthly bill (outside of the mortgage) - its being called the “newest family budget killer” – with many families are spending $300 a month for smartphones. The basic plan plus many other charges like locked-in commitment rates, cancellation charges, data plans, taxes, fees etc. are adding up to a very costly bill each month. Net10 Wireless is a very helpful and viable choice for families because there are no contracts to sign, no monthly bills, no long-term commitments, no credit checks, no age limit and no hidden fees.

Net10 is a prepaid wireless service offering unlimited local, long distance and roaming calls. They provide coverage on the best networks and offer the latest phone models, including Androids. With Net10 Wireless there are no contracts, credit checks, activation charges or cancellation fees to worry about. Simply buy a phone and purchase any one of several airtime or monthly plans.

I asked a few business owners and families what they thought about prepaid wireless services. Most agreed that prepaid cell phones would be a savings to them but they had the following questions about prepaid service could work for them:

How reliable is the cell phone service and network?

Net10 Wireless offers the nation’s best carriers, since they partnered with the country’s top four carriers to bring you the network quality you need. That means you get the same dependable coverage they offer—for half the cost.

I need a smartphone. Are there prepaid smartphones available?

Net10 Wireless offers the latest Android and other phones, with unlimited local and long-distance calling on America’s best networks as well as roaming, text messaging, Internet access, and WiFi connectivity.

Are there any shared Family Plans offered?

The new Family Talk Plans offer the great savings of a contract plan without the contract, i.e., Nationwide Coverage on America’s Most Dependable Networks, and no activation or cancellation fees.
The first line is $50 for unlimited data, text and talk; each additional line is just $40.
2 line family plan: $90 for unlimited nationwide data, text, talk, 411
3 line family plan: $130 for unlimited nationwide data, text, talk, 411
4 line family plan: $170 for unlimited nationwide data, text, talk, 411

For my business, I need to make international calls. Can you do that on a prepaid cell phones?

With Net10 Wireless you can enjoy unlimited plans with calls, SMS, data, and calling to landlines and cell phones in Mexico and over 100 other countries.

Some of the useful smartphones offered by Net10 for families are the full touch screen LG800G and the Droid UMX MaxBravo along with 90-Airtime Card(s).

How Net10 Wireless Works

Buy an unsubsidized Tracfone. Retailers may have different models of phones, i.e., basic phones, flip phones, Androids and phones with Qwerty keyboards too. Phone prices run from $30 up to $200+ depending on the phone and its capabilities.
Purchase airtime or a monthly plan (this can be purchased at any of the 90,000 retail locations or online, one can also replenish their account online).

Airtime Monthly Service
- UNLIMITED 30- DAY MONTHLY PLAN
  Unlimited talk, text/picture messaging, web/email and call to 411 ($50.00)
- 750 Minutes 30-DAY MONTHLY PLAN
  For talk, text / picture messaging, web/email and calls to 411 ($25.00)
- Unlimited International Calling 30 Day Plan (to mobiles too). ($65.00) this is the same plan as the $50 plan with a $15 international air time card added.

Airtime Pay As You Go
- 600 Minutes & 60 Days of Service ($45.00)
- 900 Minutes & 90 Days of Service ($60.00)

Monthly Plans
- $50 for unlimited minutes
- $65 for International unlimited minutes
- $25 for 750 minutes

The plans make it easy for families to save and stay connected not only in the holiday season but also throughout the year. For more information about Net10 Wireless, visit www.net10wireless. Facebook: www.facebook.com/net10wirelesslatino. Twitter: www.twitter.com/Net10Latino.

BJ’s Wholesale Club: Ready for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Holidays, and $50 Visa Giftcard Giveaway

November 19, 2012 by joscelynC 76 Comments

We have always been huge fans of BJ’s Wholesale Club from before even moving to Florida in 2010. During the last decade of working and living in the Washington D.C. area, BJ’s was a favorite place to shop for groceries, gadgets, technology, decor, and gourmet foods.

BJ’s Wholesale Club is a one-stop shopping destination for name brand, high-quality food and merchandise at prices that are significantly lower than supermarkets, supercenters, department stores, drug stores and specialty retail stores. In fact, BJ’s can save consumers more than 30 percent off supermarket prices. BJ’s carries the most product variety of any other wholesale club with more than 7,000 items, including supermarket-sized staples. BJ’s is the only wholesale club to accept all manufacturers’ coupons and for greater convenience, offers the most payment options including EBT.

When you walk into a BJ’s Wholesale Club, you get the feeling that are you walking into a warehouse with merchandise stacked up to the ceiling. You see customers (who are called BJ’s Members) carrying out their items in boxes (or their own brought from home bags) since BJ’s does not provide bags in order to keep their cost low. BJ’s is able to pass the savings on to their Members in the form of lower prices for the following reasons:

• BJ’s is extremely efficient in shipping and handling goods, and they do not have expensive displays, fancy buildings, or high advertising costs.

• BJ’s annual membership fee also helps them maintain every day, low wholesale prices. By charging a membership fee, BJ’s is able to eliminate factoring operating costs into their prices.

• With such a large committed base of loyal Members, BJ’s merchandising team is able to negotiate with their vendors to bring Members the greatest, consistent values.

We recently attended a Holiday Preview event and learned about various selections BJ’s is offering for the holiday season. The following are some of live postings during the #BJsHoliday event:
