Interests on Fiverr


There are many gigs you can find on fiverr that are both interesting and fun. You have to be careful though some gigs are better than others and make sure that they deliver what they promise. If a fiverr seems too good to be true, which I have seen, beware. There are a lot of silly things on fiverr. A lot of them are dumb and some of them have to be a scam, but there are some interesting things to. If you want a silly gift or if you want to promote your business in a unique way then there are plenty of people on fiverr willing to help. Here are some gigs that I thought were either funny or interesting.

 I will sculpt one polymer clay puppy dog in your choice of colors or patterns.  The dog will be sculpted by hand and will measure between 1 1/2 inches and 2 inches tall.  Each of these is a one of a kind creation, and would make a great gift for any dog lover.

It comes in a cardstock folder that has a gold foil Hogwarts crest on the front. Irregularity is on the folder: black specks of toner, slight white line, crease, or imperfect gold foil. Still nice. The folder is dark green on the outside / cream on the inside. Ships in plain inner envelope for presentation.

Cheap Prescription Glasses at Zennioptical


For all of those save money moms you will love what I am about to tell you. What if I told you, you could get prescription glasses for you and your family for as low as $6.95 per pair? Well you can at zenni optical. This site I have been using for years although when I started buying from them they were as low as $8 a pair. So they have gotten ridiculously cheaper over time. I would say this place is perfect for any mom who gets nervous buying glasses for their children because they are in fear that they will get lost or broken. Nobody likes to pay for expensive glasses especially for children. I am not a child and yet I have broken three pairs of glasses and lost two pairs. Luckily all of these glasses cost at the most $12 per pair. Every time I order from zenni optical I get 2-3 pairs. This way if I lose or break one pair I have a spare. It is also nice if you only need them for driving or reading.

410317 Full-Rim Stainless Steel Light Weight (Same Appearance as Frame #8103)These glasses are prescription grade and they have all the perks a typical eye doctors would give you on your glasses such as uv protection, scratch coating, anti-glare coting, single vision, bifocals, trifocals, cleaning cloth and protective case. They also give you the choice to get snap on sunglasses or tented glasses. The only thing zenni optical doesn’t provide is an eye exam or a prescription.

Piano Guys

 

This video from the Piano Guys is great. I mostly love this first video because my husband loves Star Wars. This video really makes the cello seam fun and exciting. I really like how creative the piano guys are in how they remake songs into something as good as or better than the original.
 
 

What makes you beautiful is one of there more popular ones and leaves you thinking that they are amazing. By the way the main pianist is my favorite.

 

Me and my cello is both hilarious and fabulously done. I just don’t think I would ever do anything like that with my instruments.

 

You can’t find a famous chemist that hasn’t done their own rendition of Pachelbel Cannon D. in this hilarious version cellist is playing like a rock star.


Finally my ultimate favorite, if you have never heard Rolling in the Deep you are surely missing out. I thought the original was amazing but when I heard this version it blew me away, defiantly better than the original.

 

If you find you like these guys so much you can become a founder of the http://thepianoguys.com/newstore/ they have different packages to help sponsor their music. They will have a video explaining the details just click under become a founder to get started

Time Saver: Tin Foiled Stove Top Drip Pans

This is a trick my mother taught me. She figured it out when we had to rent homes growing up. This saves a lot of time scrubbing drip pans that are a pain to wash anyways. I guess a lot of my friends have to buy at least one set of new drip pans a year so I guess this technique can also save money.


first you need to buy a long roll of heavy duty Reynolds Wrap tin foil.
make sure it is the heavy duty, all others are not good enough.
tear off a large piece and place it in the drip pan. try to smooth out the
 inside of the drip pan if possible to it is as form fitted as you can.

next fold the tin foil over the edges of the drip pan

either tear or cut with scissores the extra tin foil

cut an x in the opening hole at the bottom

it should look like this

another one where the burner plug-in is suppose to go

fold the edges over and place on your stove.
