Banking Online? Well I Never!

There is nothing worse than urgently needing to go to the bank when it's raining outside and all you want to do is sit in the warmth of the heater. I was in this financial situation the other day and my friend suggested I should just do all my banking online. It had never occurred to me that banking online is infinitely more convenient than banking in person. I have contacted my bank account and credit card companies who have set up my online savings account ready for me to log in and start transacting! Never will I have to leave the house for banking purposes again!

They Call Me Captain McSpenderson

Purchasing pharmacy items online can save a lot of money in the long run. I regularly break out my online credit cards and stock up on supplies when in need. It can put a dent in ones finances though as it is far too easy to buy things you don't actually need when all you have to do is click a few buttons and enter a few bank cards details. My credit card services allow me to build up points every time I shop which means i'll be able to choose from the credit card rewards catalogue soon and save even more money. The card services are pretty impressive compared to some other credit cards i've researched. So many benefits with a very low annual fee and 3 free additional cards, you can't go wrong!

This rewards program gives me 2 whole points per dollar spent which is quite high compared to other credit cards. I hope to apply for a frequent flyer credit card soon so I can earn points towards flights as well. The credit card services on these cards aren't quite as spectacular as my current card but none the less admirable. I will begin researching the best credit card company tonight and decide upon the most beneficial card in the morning so I have time to ponder the features I require. There must be a great credit card deal out there with my name on it. It might just take some careful perusing to find the little tyke.

Hunting Beauty

Waiting for the bus the other day, I was reading through "In Style" magazine and came across an advertisement for a brand new mascara! It has rubber bristles and will prevent my eyelashes from clumping - so it says. I'm never entirely convinced by these ads for mascaras as the lashes they use on the models are usually fake so you actually have no idea how well it works. It's very tempting to just try the mascaras myself as there really isn't any other method of finding out if it will suit your particular eye lashes. Most mascara brands are a bit hit and miss but I have found a favourite Maybelline mascara after trying many others unsuccessfully.

The hunt continues!
