I have been using Picasa to share my photos with family and friends, but they don’t have much of a space to leave notes, updates, and easy comments from everyone, so I have been looking for a site that I can easily maintain to share pictures, video, and information about Taylor with friends and family. I finally found what I have been looking for at Multiply, it is free, and has a lot of neat features to play with.

I am a self confessed dork, so I demand themes at sites I join, and even better, customizable ones! Multiply offers a whole blog of user created custom themes to go with the great selection of built-in themes they already have. I haven’t picked out a custom one yet, but I have my multiply site looking pretty cute, already added some pictures and a birthday announcement. Check out the button you can make to add to your blog/facebook/myspace page!

The wonderful people at multiply offered me a code to share with you all to get 50 free prints of pictures you or your family/friends share at Multiply. Simply use code CONFWIFE50 when you click on any shared photo and order prints of pictures. Super easy and you can’t beat free! Be sure to sign up first so you can take advantage of the free prints before the code expires. Without the code I shared you can get 25 free prints, but 50 is better!

In case you wanted to know more about the service, I have a handy dandy list of recent upgrades from the newest launch of Multiply 4.0 below. They are the fifth fastest growing social networking service in the United States and based in Boca Raton, FL. They also added a micro-blogging feature, like facebook and twitter, where you can post short status updates with everyone. I love how you can invite family and friends and even set permission for who gets to order prints of your pictures. Safety first!

These are just SOME of the new features in the free Multiply 4.0- Check out the Multiply blog for even more details.

I don’t use a lot of lotion, I just forget. And I hate the oily feeling I get after. So when SkinMD emailed me asking if I wanted to test out the product and give one away, I was hesitant, but I need it, my hands and feet are pitiful! I try to take care of them, and usually do it once a month or so, for a few days then forget! I am getting older now so I need to get on a schedule, so I replied back and said yes, I will give it a try.

I got it in the mail within a few days, and tried it out, my first thought was thinking it was not lotion, I have been using the cheap messy stuff for so long that when this did not leave a film I thought I was doing it wrong! So I read the brochure, checked out some reviews, and sure enough, that’s what REAL lotion feels like! No wonder I hated doing lotion, I couldn’t touch anything for half an hour after! With this I can put it on and within a few minutes I am dry and SOFT, not wet and oily, with the perception of soft!
