Cell phones without a contract!

Now days a new phone costs hundreds of dollars, and that's if you want to sign up for a contract. Without a cell phone contract your phone can cost up to $1000! Crazy, isn't it? The latest and greatest thing is unlocked phones. A non-generic cell phone, without being locked to a specific carrier, for less.

Now Heartland America carries unlocked phones too! Like this Apple iPhone 4S, it has all the features of a new iPhone but no need to be locked into a specific cell phone carrier. This phone includes a front/rear camera, LED-backlit IPS LCD, capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors,
iOS 5, upgradable to iOS 7.1.2, upgradable to iOS 8.0.2 and much more. Only $389.99. 

If you're more of the Android type, you'll love this Unlocked GSM Dual-SIM Android Cell phone. Featuring a 4.0" capacitive display, 1.3 GHz Dual Core processor and 2MP camera the DASH JR 4.0K welcomes the user into the amazing world of Android. Just sign up with a GSM network service and you're good to go! Only $59.99

And this BLU Studio 5.0 II D532u GSM Dual-SIM Android phone is another great option. t's large 5.0" IPS display will let you enjoy internet navigation, play the most popular video games, watch the latest videos and listen to your favorite music. Available in silver or black only $129.99

Don't go out and buy a new phone and sign a long contract when you can get one of these phones for much less! No hassle, no commitment.

Quality photos, for less!

I used to carry a digital camera with me but when I got my smart phone there wasn't a point to taking photos on the digital camera and the smart phone, it was just too many devices to lug around with me. But now that I only have my smart phone I'm starting to realize I can't always get the best images with it, sometimes I miss having a digital camera.

Then I came across this! A Sharper Image Zoom Lens that attaches directly to my smart phone. With 10x zooming capabilities I can get all the pictures I want without having to buy another digital camera. It works perfectly at concerts, football games or if I'm sitting in the back row at my daughter's school play.

Simply place your smartphone into the stand provided, line it up with the lens and you're ready to start shooting! And for flawless results, it has a tabletop tripod that provides the stability you need for correct framing, zooming and focusing as you capture images from afar. 

If I do decide I want another digital camera, I did find one for under $200 that will do everything I need. This Samsung 16.2MP Digital Camera is only $159.99!  It brings you closer to your subject coupled with a cloud-enabled design featuring WiFi and NFC capabilities so you can share your images over the internet.

I now know that I don't have to suffer with just my smart phone camera, there are other options to get the best photos. Check out heartlandamerica.com for all their low price digital cameras.

Protect Your Eyes

Boy, is it sunny out!? When it's this sunny and hot outside you definitely need sunglasses and these days sunglasses shouldn't be worn just for looks. The UV rays from the sun can ruin your eyes, even on the cloudiest days.

Why should we wear sunglasses...?


1. According to Shelley Levitt from WebMD.com "UV radiation increases your odds of getting cataracts which cloud the eye’s lens and lead to diminished eyesight." Protecting your eyes from UV radiation is necessary. 

2. Levitt continues to say, "Sunlight that bounces off highly reflective surfaces such as snow, water, sand, or pavement can be especially dangerous." So, when you're sitting at the beach, put on those shades!

3. Sunglasses prevent dry-eye problems. According Performance Eyecare "Windy environments, especially those that occur in dry climates, can easily dry out both the skin and the eyes, causing dry-eye syndrome. Sunglasses help protect against dry-eye syndrome by blocking the wind and dust that could gain access to your eyes."

4.  Less squinting and eye strain. Performance Eyecare also says, "When you wear sunglasses, you will decrease the amount of squinting you will do, which will allow you to see more clearly and will help your eyes to feel less tired." Who doesn't want to have less wrinkles and look more awake?

5. Sunglasses make you look good and feel good! ACLens says, "While this isn’t a tangible benefit, it may be the most important factor for some people on which type of sunglasses they buy, or whether they choose to wear sunglasses at all. Sunglasses have long been associated with glamor, 'coolness', and are one and the same with hollywood elite." Not only will you be protecting your eyes, but you'll look cool too!

Lawn Care

Who doesn't like an amazing looking lawn? Although, with all this rain we've had it's sometimes hard to keep up, but I do my best to keep my yard looking great. Everyone has their own lawn tricks and that includes me. I use all my favorite Heartland products to keep my lawn looking perfect!

Including this Greenworks Electric Tiller. This Greenworks tiller runs on clean, quiet electricity & features 4 rotating tines that loosen soil & pulverize grass & weeds so you can clear them away with ease. 

A nice green lawn requires lots of watering and plenty of seed. I use this Tri-Pod sprinkler and this grass seed to make sure my yard stays bright and thick. 

Keeping the grass short and saving money is always ideal that's why I enjoy this Sun Joe Lawn Mower, it's electric! This mower has an efficient 12 amp electric motor that eliminates expensive gas, messy oil & toxic fumes. Also features 14" wide cutting path, durable steel blade for smooth cutting, compact design that stores easily, easy push button switch for instant starts, maintenance free design, hard top rear bag that catches clippings for quick clean up and three-position height adjustment up to 2.4" high. 

Keeping my bushes short and beautiful is also key to making my lawn look its best. I use this Hedge Trimmer to trim my bushes.  The ultra-lightweight Garden Groom has a rotary blade system that quickly trims shrubs & bushes then mulches clippings to 1/10 their original size and collects them in the on-board container or large collection bag.

What's your trick to making your yard look its best?
