Groupon Goods

This is a sponsored post. However, all opinions are my own.

We know that Groupon is the place to go for coupons to many well known brands. When I have to make a big purchase, it costs a lot of money. Even if I'm making a small purchase, I would still like to save money. I would like to see if I can save as much as possible before I have to make that purchase because it can really help me in the long run.

Groupon Goods is a great way to check out what coupons are available for what brands. When you type what you're looking for in the search box, it'll pop up with what you're looking for automatically if it is something they carry. You can look for well known brands such as Apple products, from iPads to Apple TV.

Groupon Goods has a lot of coupons set up to your location as well. For example, if there's a chain of restaurants only in your state, it's possible that there is a discount and/or coupon that apply to it. I live in Arizona and found a lot of cool deals for movie theaters, restaurants, festivals, museums and so much more. It's free to use, easy to search and easy to save money. You can also follow Groupon on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on deals.

Groupon Saves You Money!

This is a sponsored post. However, all opinions are my own.

I like saving money whenever I can. It leaves me with more money left over for other things or it leaves me feeling like I'm not spending money recklessly. I think that's why many people love using Groupon. I went to a dine-in movie theater with my friend, which costs more than a regular theater. We were able to keep the costs relatively low because we planned out how much to spend and we used Groupon Coupons. We were able to get tickets for $5 to $6 per person. Groupon Coupons can be used for more things than I think people truly realize, including myself! I always look for a deal for something specific and forget just how much stuff you can get a deal on. They have coupons for a variety of brands, including:

• AutoZone
• Barnes & Noble
• Foot Locker
• T-Mobile
• Walgreens
• And many more!

When I shop at eBay or Foot Locker or a great number of other retailers, I would like to see if I can save money. I don't care if I'm saving pennies or dollars because they do add up. You can also follow Groupon on Facebook or Twitter if you want to be reminded of deals out there in the world.

Preacher on AMC!

     I did not read the Preacher comics, but I still wanted to see what this show was about. It's straight-up blasphemous, but if you're not easily offended, it is a really good show. The action starts off right away and it's very strong. It does drag out in parts to build up the story-line, but it is well worth it. Dragging out the first season of a show doesn't bother me because it's building up the show. Preacher is about a guy named Jesse Custer who is a preacher and used to do some not so great things. His father was a preacher with a church that Jesse ended up inherited and he feels that he has to follow in his father's footsteps.

     Tulip is Jesse's ride-or-die almost former girlfriend. They grew up together and have a kind of love/hate relationship. Tulip doesn't think Jesse is meant to be a preacher and even more than that, she wants him to help get revenge on a person that wronged them. Cassidy is a wisecracking, nice, drinking and drugging Irish vampire, who ends up being Jesse's best friend. Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy slowly become connected and by the end of the season, are *spoiler alert* road tripping together.

     The whole small town of Annville is full of people who act like they are living righteously, but everyone is a sinner in this town. There's a lot of people who have their backstories told and you find out who's good, who's bad and who's trying their best. Preacher, a.k.a. Jesse Custer, has an internal struggle about if he's doing the right thing being a preacher and trying to lead people. He also wants to know if God is real to the point that he wants to *spoiler alert* find him and talk to him personally. While he is going through these struggles, he happens to get a power that may be a gift or a curse, but he definitely isn't supposed to have it.

     There are two angels, who have a child-like mentality, and were somehow given the task of watching over the power that Preacher has. The power, called Genesis, escaped and looked for a worthy host. It found its host in Preacher. The angels try everything in their power to get the power back, including *spoiler alert* using an iconic, cool character from the comics that is currently residing down under and I don't mean Australia. One of the parts that drags is building up the story-line for the cool character known as the Saint of Killers. You see tiny bits of his story-line in most episodes and it all comes together and makes sense in the end.

     This show has comedy, action, weird, crazy and outrageous stuff going on. When you get to the end of the season, you get excited for what will happen in the next season because you only find out a few things of what will officially happen, while everything else is left in the air. After wrapped up story-lines, something major and crazy happens, and I for one, can't wait to see what happens next. Rating: 9/10

Posture Corrector Brace by Copper Active

     I received this brace heavily discounted in exchange for an honest review. I decided to rearrange the furniture in my home and I moved a dresser and threw my back out. It hurt for a few days and I realized when you're moving around like that, you don't always remember to bend with your knees. I bought this brace, adjusted the shoulder straps and put it on. I moved the rest of the furniture and stuff in my house and was fine.

     In the middle of the brace is two sets of straps, so you can adjust it to whatever works for you. You don't even really have to adjust the outermost straps. The main strap has a lot of Velcro, so you can wrap it tight or loose.

     The upper straps for the shoulders are also adjustable. They don't straighten your shoulders and they stretch. They are to help adjust your movement with the brace.

     I almost ordered a medium brace and ended up getting a large brace because I wanted it to be too big instead of too small, but it's a perfect size for me. It comes in sizes from small to extra large. You will stand up straight and it's great for men or women. You might sweat in the middle, but I recommend wearing a shirt underneath it because the Velcro might make you itchy or irritate your skin. It's comfortable to wear and costs $30. This is a great investment if you work moving furniture, move stuff in a warehouse, get chronic back pain or just don't want to strain your back.

New Ghostbusters!

Credit: Ghostbusters.com

     The new Ghostbusters movie received a lot of flack because it has an all female cast. No one had a problem with this movie when you heard they were trying to make another one again over the past 10+ years with the original cast. You didn't hear anything like, "they're too old" or "it's been done". Annie is another movie that received a lot of flack because Annie was made with a young back girl. Some people get upset and think changing a person's color or gender in a movie is a new marketing ploy. It's possible that that is true, but it shouldn't make you immediately hate a movie. 

     When people found out Heath Ledger was playing Joker and Ben Affleck was playing Batman, they received a lot of flack until people saw their movies. They weren't even changed up for these roles and the hate was still there. They were some of the greatest and most memorable characters. My point is to say see the movie before you judge it. Batman v. Superman wasn't the greatest movie ever, but now people are beyond hyped up for Batman, Justice League and Wonder Woman. With that being said, here's what Ghostbusters is all about:

     The director/producer and half of the Ghostbusters are from the movie, Bridesmaids, and you can see that influence and have that familiar feeling of it in this movie. They have quick comebacks, funny jokes and a women that can hold their own feeling to it. Don't compare it to the original Ghostbusters because you will not think it is as good. It's not bad, but you'll remember you love the original and think that nothing could compete.

     There are a lot of funny moments and some jokes that fall flat, but there aren't that many. Visually, it looks amazing. You won't feel like it's too much CGI or that it was utilized wrong. Some people were upset that Leslie Jones played a loud mouthed character who couldn't possibly be a scientist. I think Leslie Jones played a character that felt familiar to her and she had a better character than the other Ghostbusters. *Spoiler alert* She knew her way around the city, knew the history of the city and had a stable and high paying job.

     Two of the Ghostbusters worked at a high school that they were probably fired from and one of the Ghostbusters definitely lost her job from a revered college. This is another see it before you judge it moment because Jones' character was more than likely the most stable and well-rounded. Chris Hemsworth is also hilarious in this movie and I think he should be used for a lot more comedic roles. The movie shows the Ghostbusters forming their group and fighting ghosts. Then, they have to find out who is helping to make more ghosts appear. It follows the premise of the first film. It also has some cool cameos.

     It was a good movie to see and you get some nostalgia from the movie as well. Don't count this movie out, See it first. Then, judge it. If you like it, stay during the end credits, there are a lot of things that they show. Rating: 6/10

Krampus at Redbox!

Credit: Youtube.com

     Krampus is a movie that is unexpectedly good. It shows how Christmas used to be the one time where no one acted like a jerk and how we are worse than we've ever been. They show things like how people rush into the store to fight over toys to give their kids to show how much goodwill there is in the world. All hope of all good things to do with Christmas was left on one young boy who loses what little hope he had left. When there is no hope left, you don't get Santa Claus bringing gifts anymore. You get Krampus bringing revenge. The twist ending is what will really get you. There are some parts that make you question why didn't someone do this or that, but the movie stands out for not being a boring horror movie that comes out for Christmas.

     When Krampus shows up, he brings toys, but not the kind that puts a smile on your face. He's coming for revenge. He's coming to right wrongs and give a new batch of people a chance to get it right. If Christmas turned into spending time with annoying family members because everyone feels obligated, then Krampus has no choice but to appear. The thing about this movie is that you can only stay safe for so long and there is really only one person who could truly survive, but will they? It has some annoying, goofy and crazy parts. You might even be reminded of an annoying family member or two. Watch this movie, look out for Krampus and be glad he isn't real.

Tryazon What's In Your Purse Party

     Tryazon let's you host parties to get the word out for awesome products and the best part is that you can keep and give away whatever you want to. For this party, I received Brainstream SOI Purse Light, Whoosh! Duo+ and Cool Cucumber Eye Pads from Amirose London. You take pictures, share them to social media, show and tag Tryazon and you're done. You get some really nice products and you need at least 5 people at your party. Now, let's talk about the products.

     These were created for when you can't find what you're looking for in your purse. You can also use them in a dark room. For example, if you're looking for the light in the bathroom, you can use this light to help you find the switch. The light is touch-activated, very bright and lasts for about 15 seconds. You will be able to quickly and easily find what you're looking for in your purse.

     Whoosh! Duo+ is a cleaner for any and all of your screens. It comes in two bottles and one is pocket-sized. You also get two clothes and this product is free of harsh chemicals. It gets rid of smudges, dirt and grime. Your cell phone is one of the dirtiest things that never gets washed and using this product makes your phone healthier to use.

     The green pack is the Amirose London Cool Cucumber Eyes Pads. You can use them as-is, but they work better if you put them in the fridge. They have a cucumber design on them and you place them over your eyes to reduce the strain and look of your eyes after staring at a computer screen all day. All of these products work great and the party was fun. We all got to test and play around with everything. One person used the lights to pretend he was Iron Man and another person cleaned their phone. I gave away and kept some of the products and I can't wait to throw another party. I received these products free in exchange for an honest review and a cool party!
