Reduce Utility Bills

This guest post from Lewis Beck

A friend of mine recently posted on facebook about how she got her monthly utility bills reduced by $80 a month. First, she called her phone company and stated that she is thinking about leaving and just having a cell phone only to save money, and they worked out a deal that saves $25 a month. Then she called her cable company, and talked to them all about their different cable packages and found one more suited for her family that was $10 less a month. She called her water company, and figured out that for a family of 5 she should be allotted more water than a family of 4 would be (which is what they were billing her for). That should save her some money too. I was so impressed by this. It is annoying to talk on the phone to utility companies, but all that waiting and button pushing would be so worth it if it could save our family $80 a month! I’m going to gather all our utility companies’ phone numbers and get on this.

The Power of Ginger Root Tea

I really amazed how ginger root tea helps cure my sore throat and getting back my voice fast.  Here's the photo procedures of ginger tea or well known as "Salabat" in my country :-) You'll gonna need:

a. ) a whole ginger like this size or it depends on how much you're gonna make
b.) wash and peel ginger root as shown
c.) put the peeled and sliced ginger root in a pan with 2 to 3 cups of water and bring to boil until done 
d. ) it's done when water turning into a yellowish color like shown in my photo
e.) add a teaspoon or so of brown sugar or honey. I prefer honey on mine :-)

f.) and there you go enjoy it with your  food at breakfast, lunch, break time and dinner.  You can also drink it as many times a day as you wish
 FYI:  Ginger tea is usually used to prevent colds, aid digestion and motion sickness, and also as a home remedy for nausea and sore throats.  Take note that the flavor is a bit spicy but stimulating!
