Pear Vanilla Oatmeal Glycerin Artisan Tile Soap, originally uploaded by 4thAveSoapCo.

This soap is AMAZING. I used a bar and loved it!

The smell is perfect, You can smell it, but it doesn’t overwhelm you. Sweet and warm with a hint of juicy fruit. The oatmeal adds a slight touch of scrub, not a harsh scrub at all.

I used it as a kitchen sink soap. The foodie smell was perfect and and the slight scrub from the very fine oatmeal was great for scrubbing off whatever I had gotten myself into while cooking.

What I found surprising about this soap, was how long the design stayed on the soap. Even now, as my bar of soap lies by the sink measuring less than an inch wide, you can STILL see traces of the beautiful design that once was.

This soap has a great lather. It really works well for cutting through grease. I would recommend 4thAveSoapCo to everyone.

So, so that I don’t have to keep hunting it down in my “view topics you have posted in” on Etsy, I thought, hey silly girl, post it on your blog!

Here is a post I had wrote about RME. They aren’t doing the $25 for signup anymore, but I do think you still get the $10 for referring someone.

**********************************
Love it! Cause I researched it before signing up

I’ve been using them for a while and have had no problems. I’ve bought, sold, requested a check and transfered money into my bank account 3 times so far :0)
___________________________________________________

The main problems seem to be:
A) it asked for my SSN
B) it is still in Beta
C) Why no fees AND a $25 sign up bonus AND $10 referral bonus?

So I did a little research before signing up…

why does Revolution Money need my social security number? I do not remember giving my SSN to PayPal. Revolution’s FAQ gives this answer:

“You might wonder why we ask for certain pieces of information that you may be nervous to share, such as your Social Security Number. We would not ask for any information that was not necessary to enable the security we promise to you. Also, to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.With identity theft on the rise, we use your Social Security Number to confirm your identity by cross referencing it against other personal data you provide. This way, if someone were to get a hold of your Social Security Number, a MoneyExchange account could not be set up in your name without knowing your other personal information. So, sometimes it may seem as if you have to share more information about yourself, but in the end it actually protects your financial information to an even greater degree.”

How do I know that Revolution Money is not going to lose my information making me vulnerable to identity theft? I found this answer on their website:

“Your MoneyExchange account is held at First Bank & Trust in Brookings, SD (Member FDIC). Protecting your information is our highest priority.”
(PayPal is NOT FDIC insured, paypal answers to no one, RME answers to the FDIC)

Why no fees AND a $25 sign up bonus AND $10 referral bonus?

In truth, Revolution Money sees MoneyExchange as a loss leader for its real business, which is the RevolutionCard, its credit card that undercuts Visa and Mastercard. It has no intention of making money off of MoneyExchange by charging for transactions because in its eyes the online payment service is just a way to build up a valuable network of potential credit card customers. You can be sure that every MoneyExchange member will get an offer for the RevolutionCard. Steve Case is just seeding the market.

What is the “no follow” tag? Well, glad you asked!

The “no follow” tag is a case where we don’t want to share and share alike. We don’t always want or need to spread the love of PageRank among our pages. Yes, they are all your babies, and yes you love them all just as much, but different childen…er…I mean pages, need different types of live. Let’s face it, not all your site pages can be the belle of the ball, so nominate the most popular ones for google homecoming king and queen and make the dorks stand by the bleachers with some lovely punch, spiked if need be.

The “no follow” tag is a great tool to make sure the PageRank of your site is shared between the most important pages (the google homecoming court) with none being given to the less important pages (the nerds). This means that search engines will not follow the internal links to that unimportant page (The nerdy ones like: about us, contact, ect) but your visitors (MIT, Yale, Harvard) will still be able to easily access these pages.

This strategy allows you to increase the chances of your important pages ranking higher in the results and the pages that aren’t important to you will not appear.

green neg foilage logo, originally uploaded by ButterflyChicBoutique.

I’m very excited to introduce my newest items, premade logos!

I sometimes will design 2-3 logos for a client to chose from and when they chose one I a unused logo left over that I worked hard to create, so I thought, why not sell them and let them and let them see the light of day rather than sitting here store in some deep dark folder in the back of my computer.

Plus, I know logo design can be out of many people’s price range when starting up a small business with your own money, so I thought this would be a great way to offer logos for a discount.

A custom logo is $45 but my premade logos are only $20! Great bargain!

And for blog readers only mention my blog and get a premade logo for $15

So check out my new premade logos here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5529562&section_id=5454351
