The big question on many of our minds is 'Will there be another stimulus check?' I don't know, but with what I have been reading in the paper, and seeing on the news it sure looks like it may happen. COVID-19 is affecting millions of people, many of you may never hear about them, but they are out there and they need help. A lot of people are hoping there is a 2nd stimulus check with all these businesses that have permanently closed, and millions that have lost their jobs, people need money to buy food, pay bills, etc. I stumbled onto this article on Forbes about the 'Second Stimulus' check, I found it interesting and gives those in need hope, the possibility of a recurring direct stimulus check would be a godsend for many, but will it happen? We can only hope and pray. I think now more than ever we need to manage our money better. Continue Reading
Is There No End To This Madness? It’s Time To Move On!
I have watched the news, read articles, had conversations, and I am tired of it already. I want things to begin to get back to normal. Granted it will never be 'normal' because of this pandemic, things have changed forever. People's lives have been altered, things are so uncertain right now, and probably in the foreseeable future. Honestly, that is not only scary but sad. In my last post I was talking about beaches being open that shouldn't have been open to stop the spread. A month later, they are reopened. As I mentioned I have read and watched the news. We are in lockdown all over the USA. Other countries are similar. I heard on the news that Sweden, has had the same death rate as we have in the USA and they did not lockdown, so why did we? Did it in fact make a difference. Statistically, we shouldn't have locked down according to Continue Reading
Wow! I actually forgot!
Believe it or not, I actually seriously forgot I had this blog (Emily.nu). Maybe it is time to let it go. I'm sitting here while catching up with Big Brother. I received an email about this blog needing to update, and it hit me. I hadn't updated since January. I feel terrible, but life has been so busy. recently decided to focus more on my reseller business, as I have tons of stuff to list both on Ebay and Poshmark. I had been listing on Ebay, but I finally decided to cross-list onto Poshmark. I am considering Mercari which is another listing platform. I haven't really looked into it as much, their shopping is less than Poshmark, however, I don't know everything I need to know about it yet. I am still learning new things from both Ebay and Poshmark. That has kept me so busy, not to mention trying to keep adding new content to my Continue Reading
Happy New Year 2019 ~Wow!
I cannot believe how fast 2018 zipped by us. We (William and myself) were just talking about how fast 2018 went by. It feels like it was just Christmas, and then here is Christmas again. And look we are officially 7 days into the new year! How did that happen? Lol. So let's start with what my New Years resolutions are, and I sure do need to keep more than one. First I would start with continuing my diet back on track as best I can, without taking the fun of living life. Then I would say that organizating is a big thing for me, I tried last year and failed miserably. This year I am giving it another go. Specifically my hobby room, where I have various things that I honestly don't need in the room with me. I do my nails in the room, so there is a lot of nail supplies in here, I do some crafting, so there is various crafting supplies Continue Reading
I Sew Need To Use My Machine!
I think that title is quite funny, pun intended :P On the serious side. I have had my sewing machine for a few years and I have to admit I have not really used it. I have a few reasons why. The lack of space in our last home. Now that we have moved to our new house. I want to break it out because I want to teach myself to sew holes in my fiances' dress shirts that have no buttons to hold down the collar and make wedding dress alterations for brides. As in the photo below. came across this beautiful men’s V-Neck sweater, although the website lists it as a T-shirt with full sleeves, lol. Trust me it is a V-Neck Men’s sweater, and the quality is fantastic for $5.99, it has been through the wash, and came out as if it had just been bought, this is not an exaggeration. The only thing I noticed, is the sizing, I feel they run a bit smaller Continue Reading
