TravelZoo has been around forever yet I can't believe how many people don't know about it.

To sum it up, TravelZoo is a travel deal finder. And when I say deals, I mean REAL deals... like you are saving hundreds of dollars on hotels, on flights, on trips and more!

My most recent TravelZoo purchase was last year when I scored $320 roundtrip tickets from NYC to Southern Spain. And yes, that cost included all taxes and checked luggage!

And about Wednesday... EVERY Wednesday they publish their famous Top 20 Deals! I get the info sent to my inbox and the list is always exciting (even if I'm in a period in my life when I can't travel).  

Here's what caught my eye from last week's Top 20:

This is another must have product (Just Hold it There Suction Hook) that you have probably never seen.  It sticks to nearly any smooth surface and it holds (like really holds) thin objects. I'm really struggling to describe it so just pan down to the pictures.

Personally, I'm using it to hold a wire on my desk, my face mask (at my front door), and my razor in the shower. But really, the uses are endless!

One of my favorite purchases this year (Jan 2022) was this beauty!  It dropped in price down to $36 and I snagged it.  It arrived a few days later in a huge box and in perfect shape. Normally my plants come from trading with other people, from Freecycle, or even from the curb (yes, people throw their plants out), but I couldn't resist this deal from Amazon.

Sometime you just have to (or want to) remove the background from a photo.  Most recently I used this feature for a product I'm selling but you can also use it for your Insta or Facebook posts or JUST for fun.

My favorite app to use to remove the background is PhotoRoom.  There are many many things you can do with the free version (which is what I use) but you can always pay to get more features and for the auto removal of their logo.

My new obsession is "1 Second Every Day", https://1se.co/  It's an app that sends you little reminders to take a quick video EVERY DAY. I know you are thinking "wow, that's a lot" but really it's just so easy to use. And at the end of the year I'm going to have an amazing diary showing just some of what I did in 2022.

Watch the founder's original video here, youtu.be/lyx6O_WFJhU and you'll understand why I'm doing this for this year.

After a 6 year hiatus I'm bringing back my blog, this time with a focus on some of my favorite resources and products!
