Manilla certainly keeps me on track.  I was very thankful to have this service during the days/months preluding Christmas.  This past holiday season seemed like I couldn’t get my act together…heck, I am still working on Christmas presents!  Manilla at least kept my payments coming due, in check.

More on Manilla:


Manilla (manilla.com) is a free web based service that helps consumers better manage all of their household accounts, including financial, utilities, subscriptions and travel rewards programs, in one secure place online. Under a single password, Manilla provides customers with an automated, organized view of all of their account information, text and/or email reminders to pay bills and unlimited storage of account documents that Manilla has seamlessly retrieved for the consumer.

Why is Manilla necessary? Most people have more than 20 different household accounts, including three to four credit cards, several travel and hotel rewards accounts, multiple magazine and newspaper subscriptions, plus cable, phone, and other assorted utility bills. In order to stay on top of all this, people have to manage daily incoming paper mail, an array of online usernames and passwords, and websites in order to access important account information and take action. Manilla seamlessly retrieves all your account information – current balances, previous payments, upcoming bills due – and stores it for you in one secure place. Most importantly, you need only one password to view, manage and organize it all.  Sign up {Here}

2.

Gift buying can be a chore and not everyone enjoys buying gifts for others.  That being said, Uncommon Goods did a lot of work to come up with their own analysis on truths about giving gifts at Christmas.

Here’s a synopsis of what the results were:

1. Men procrastinate…college students are even worse than men in terms of planning ahead.  The older men are – the earlier in the season they begin their shopping.

2.  The above chart indicates what percentage of Christmas Shopping is done by date and age groups. It appears as though the 65+ age group has 60% of their shopping done by Dec. 4.  
3. The above chart shows that out of the four email clients, Gmail, AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail, – that AOL users spent 12.2% more than those of other email users.

And then there’s the outcome of a study by Hunch.com.  They found that “Gmail users are more attractive, better educated, and better dressers than AOL users, they are also apparently more likely to be cheapskates.”

4. Those who live on the West Coast are 21% more likely than average to buy American-made, whereas in the Midwest people are 24% less likely than average to do so.

5. Men – they have no imagination.  They tend to run out of good ideas and opt to just buy gift certificates (that’s my daughter’s grandfather! It’s gift certificates and clothes for Grammy…every year!)

6. The older you get, the more you care about other people. Uncommongoods.com has a program called, “Better to Give” where $1 of every purchase is donated to charities.  Customers can choose which charity they’d like to see their dollar go to; however, it’s the older age groups 55+, that take the time to indicated their choice of charity.

7New Englanders are 2.8% more likely than average to buy eco-friendly products. The top five eco- friendly states were actually Alaska, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Colorado.  The bottom five were actually Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

8. People with longer last names tend to spend more on gifts.  Those with 14 letters in their last name spend more on gifts than other people with shorter last names.

Lastly, Uncommon Goods’, Brian Hashemi, has come up with “how to get a great gift” when you piece the data together:

“Taking all the data together, we can form a picture of an ideal gift-giver: a woman with an AOL email address, 55 or older, who lives in California or New England and has a long, complicated last name. Does this sound like anyone you know? Then you’re in luck.”

As an Influenster, I received a complimentary product to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program of NYC New York Color.  The product I received was the NYC Liquid Lipshine in nude.  My first look at the product I thought it was some kind of concealer: however, I was wrong. I opened it up to find a thick liquid, a nice scent and proceeded to filled the applicator.  I then applied it to my lips.  Instantly, I had shiny lips.  I am impressed that after licking my lips many times over that the product still shines and I can still feel the product on my lips.

NYC New York has many products ranging from $.99 – $4.99.  You will find a wide range of shades to choose from.  “A beauty-editor favorite is Liquid Lipshine ($2.49). It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias.” 

NYC can be found at Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and others. Visit newyorkcolor.com to check out all shades and fun products from New York Color!
