Adventures in Hedonism

My head is about to explode with knowledge!  I purchased a membership to The Niche Blogger by Amy Bass a couple of days ago and I have learned so much new information that it’s going to take my brain weeks to process it all!

I’m completely re-doing the sites that I was starting and I’m doing them the Amy way.  She is a mother of four with about 20 niche sites bringing in about $5,000 per month.  Her training is showing me step by step the things I need to do.

Yes, this is a glowing endorsement.  Have I made any money yet?  No, it’s only been a couple of days.  But I’ll keep everyone posted on how it’s going.  I actually have a lot of hopes about this.  I’m tired of writing and selling my articles to other people to make money from.  I want to write them and make money from them myself.

I spend $10 online a few days ago on a Great Big Bag 0 Grabs! 

For my money, I will be getting:

• A hand - knitted hat or scarf
• A document to help me increase my online earnings
• One article written especially for one of my websites
• One quote of my choosing, handwritten in Calligraphy
• One gently read book chosen just for me
• One free week of link love sidebar action
• One yummy recipe
• One custom made 125X125 graphic specially designed for one of my sites

Yowsers!, you might say! How did I find such an amazing dealio?  Just visit Read Between My Lines to find out more about the Big Bag O Grabs.  Tell them Jen sent ya!

The results are in! Last month I decided to do a little weight loss experiment of my own.  I decided to take Advil PM every night for a month and find out if better sleep actually promoted weight loss.

I did all other things the same and I ended up losing right at 6 pounds!  Success!

What I learned:

I had in no way been getting enough sleep before.

The sleep I was getting was disturbed and broken.

I feel SO much better after a good night’s sleep.

I am more motivated to get up and going in the morning after sleeping well at night.

I’m going to continue to take the Advil PM.  I was already taking advil for my arthritis, so instead of taking it during the day, I’ll just take it at night with the PM formula.

I’ll keep you guys posted on the weight loss thing, but honestly that’s secondary to how good I feel after a full night’s sleep!
