Fall into Savings with Cooper Tires Fall Rebate Event

Posted on October 12, 2015 by Krissyar

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cooper Tire for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Fall to me, is the best time of year for a road trip. The leaves turning colors, the beautiful sunsets  – holiday traveling to be done to visit family and friends. One of the most important things to do before you hit the road is to make sure that your vehicle is ready for the trip; especially your tires.

Your tires are extremely important since it’s the only  part of the car that actually touches the road – tires can affect your vehicle’s braking, handling, riding and safety. For the best performance and safety tires must be balanced, aligned, have the correct air pressure and tread depth. Having a good set of tires can make all of these maintenance issues a lot easier to handle – especially if you purchase Discoverer SRX tires by Cooper Tires.

Cooper Tires specializes in the design, manufacturing and marketing of replacement automobile and truck tires – all American made. The Discoverer SRX fits a wide selection of vehicles, and has an awesome feature that was designed and that is exclusive to Cooper Tire; the Wear Square.
The Wear Square is a 6-point of reference around the inside and outside of the tire tread. Throughout the tire’s lifetime, the square changes shape beginning with a full square and ending with an exclamation mark – showing when the tire tread is low, allowing you to quickly and easily figure out the tread remaining on the tires. The Wear Square can also signal uneven tire wear and possible wheel alignment issues.new-tab View Image

I really love that the Discoverer STT is Cooper’s latest high performance is dedicated off-roading – a hobby I have really came to enjoy since I purchased my Jeep! It allows for impressive off-road capabilities without sacrificing high on-road performance. They offer a wide range of commercial and large diameter flotation sizes.

The other awesome feature of the Discoverer SRX is the premium 65,000-mile Tread Wear Protection Warranty, and 45-Day Road Test guarantee! If you aren’t satisfied with your Discoverer SRX purchase and return to your original dealer within 45 days  of purchase you get a FREE OF CHARGE Cooper brand (only) replacement tire – including mounting and balancing. That’s how sure they are that you will love these tires!

Cooper Tires are quality tires that fit your budget –  especially during the Cooper Tire Fall Rebate Event. August 28th through October 31st, 2015 buyers are eligible to receive a pre-paid Visa card worth up to $70 when purchasing a new set of four qualifying Cooper Tires through participating dealers.Dealer Locator

Color Vibe 5k coming to the Ohio: October 10th

Posted on October 6, 2015 by Krissyar

Ya’ all know I get so excited about 5k’s that involve anything messy – from mud to color! There’s just something about the fun of running through it all and laughing with your friends that makes a 5k seem so much easier – fun and fitness wrapped all in one.

So when I heard about The Color Vibe 5k coming to Middletown this weekend, I had to sign up! We had our fill of color runs and 5k’s this Spring, so I was surprised to find out that we had one locally in the fall!

middletownFlyer[1]

The Color Vibe is all for fun – you don’t have to raise money, or get contributions in order to participate. Although Color Vibe is a for-profit event, they do partner with local charities and non-profit organizations in each city that they hold their events in and they receive a portion of the proceeds (depending on the size and involvement in the 5k)

middletowngraphics2[1]

So gather up your friends (and your kids – they can run too! Kids 12 and under are FREE with paid adult registration) and come get your fun on with us this Saturday in Middletown! Register by midnight on 10/7 before the price goes up!

Color Vibe is giving one lucky All in a Days Work reader a FREE entry into the race this Saturday!All you have to do is retweet the message below,and we will select a winner using random.org on Thurday evening – just in time to pick up your packet on Friday and be prepared for the race!

Side Hustle: How I Earn Extra Money at Home on Fiverr

Posted on October 6, 2015 by Krissyar

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Fiverr in partnership with Kasai Media. Though I was compensated for my time, all opinions, as usual, are my own.

Being a blogger has become a wonderful second income for me and my family – and I have a ton of friends and family who ask how they can get started. Being a blogger takes a lot of time to get going and a ton of hours (I’m not gonna’  lie, it’s after 10 on a Monday night as I’m writing this, and I’ll probably be up a few more hours – and then getting up to go to work in the a.m. too!) So I always recommend that my friends  start out doing some VA work ; so you can start generating income immediately and one of the best way to do that is to get set up on Fiverr.

fiverr_logo

In case you weren’t familiar, Fiverr is a website where you can sell (or buy)  services from a wide array of talented people. You can buy services like SEO services, articles, customized logos, videos, and more! Services start as small as  $5 each, and can increase based on what services you chose from the sellers.

Recently myself, and a group of other awesome lifestyle bloggers, were selected to enter a competition with a group of  financial bloggers. Each blogger has 60 days to build a side business (on Fiverr) and compete to see who can earn the most money – and show you how it’s done! Here’s the group of awesome bloggers I’m working with:
Little Learning Lovies
Little Blog on the Homestead
Thinking Outside the Sandbox
A Bird and a Bean
Mom are We There Yet
A Disabled Moms Life
The Usual Mayhem
Giveaway Bandit
Loving Here

 

I was racking my brain on what I could do on Fiverr , and I started thinking about a few emails I had received recently about how much I had encouraged and motivated followers and friends when it comes to fitness, and working hard (work and weight loss related). I thought how awesome would it be if someone could order that on a weekly basis? So I decided that I would offer 5 days of motivational/inspirational e-mails customized to your specific needs/wants/desires – just for $5?!
fiverr_motivationAbove is an example of a weight loss/inspirational e-mail. Along with the inspirational photos and quotes, you would receive 7-10 links per day to healthy advice, tips and tricks. Definitely worth the $1  a day!!!!

Fiverr is offering  my readers a chance to try my service for FREE using code:  WORKBLOG2015
*You must be a first time user and you can only use the coupon once. *While supplies last.

If you think this is a great idea for a Fiverr service, or you tried one of my gigs, please go vote for me (All in a Days Work) – we are a competitive group, and we want to see whose doing the best!
