Work At Home Bundle Flash Sale

I’ve been working from home for about 2 years now. In case you don’t remember, I teach English as a Second Language to both adults and children mostly in Latin American countries. I also have a writing gig where I write about elder care around the world and prepper topics.  I absolutely love working from home. It certainly has been lifesaving since the pandemic and social distancing began. 

However, it took years for me to position myself to be able to work from home. Not only did I have to figure out how to get electricity and the internet installed, but I went through quite a streak of ventures that weren’t very lucrative at all. 

Today I’d like to share Ultimate Bundles Work at Home Bundle which is available just two days, October 26 – 27 for $37. It has 28 products worth $1600 including 11 eCourses, 9 eBooks, 4 workbooks, and 4 templates. Let me break it down even further for you. 

There are:

  • 5 products focused on job opportunities
  • 6 products on personal development
  • 6 products on productivity
  • 7 products on creating a side hustle
  • 4 products on establishing a work/life balance

I’m going to concentrate on the job opportunities and side hustle sections because although the other aspects are important, if you are looking for a way to earn income from home, those are the sections you’ll want to get to first. So here’s what you’ll get about opportunities and side hustles: 

  • From $0 to $1,000: How to Create Your Own Work-from-Home Job! (eBook) by Bethany Lotulelei 
  • How To Find Real Work From Home Jobs (Plus 150 Companies That Hire) (eBook) by Anna Thurman 
  • Remote Job Bundle (Workbook) by Chhavi & Amit 
  • The Ultimate Guide to Make and Save Money at Home (eBook) by Kylie Travers 
  • Virtual Assistant Jumpstart: How I Went From $0 to $3000 In Three Months (eCourse) by Alexandrea Harrelson 
  • Create, Launch and Grow Your Online Presence: An A – Z Blueprint for Turning Your Passion into Viable Income (eBook) by Abi Faniran 
  • Create Your Own Side Hustle Income Plan (eCourse) by Kerry Beck 
  • Digital Marketing QuickStart (eCourse) by Alison Reeves 
  • Fear Not! Confidence-Building Insights, Tips & Techniques for Freelance Writers (eBook) by Carol Tice
  • Power Bundle: 1Month – $1K + 5 Side Hustles That Actually Work (eCourse) by Amanda Teixeira 
  • Pricing Template and Guide (Printable) by Menucha Citron
  • The Work at Home Training Program: The Ultimate Guide to Working at Home, Making Extra Money, and Avoiding Scams (eBook) by Bethany Mooradian 

I bought this bundle during its original sale week a few months ago. I’ve worked my way through the eBooks and now I’m slowly but surely working through the eCourses. There is SO MUCH information that it’s taking some time. 

As things continue to be uncertain this year, working from home, no matter where in the world you live, will give you more peace of mind, fewer chances for contagion, and a bit of jingle to your pockets. If that appeals to you, pick up your copy of the Work at Home Bundle while you can!

Natural Healing–Jaripos

One day when I stopped to pick up the daily tortillas from my sister-in-law’s tortilleria, she handed me a bag of orange-red fruit and told me to make juice from it. So I did. It was deliciously sour and refreshing. To make the juice, let the berries soak in water until it turns a pinkish color. Then, strain, add sugar or honey to sweeten it and enjoy. 

Jaripos or Limillas

These little fruits are known as jaripos in Cerano, Guanajuato, but neighboring Puruándiro, Michoacan calls them limillas. Puruándiro has taken this fruit, from the Rhus microphylla shrub, into their heart so deeply that they have an annual festival in April celebrating la limilla, which can be used to flavor ice cream, atole, marmelade, artensenal bread and local brews. In English, this shrub is known as the littleleaf sumac or desert sumac. 

The Rhus species has over 250 varieties. Although little study has been done on Rhus microphylla, other varieties have anti fibrogenic, antifungal, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antimutagenic, antithrombin, antitumorigenic, and antiviral properties. Additionally, flowering plants belonging to the Anacardiaceae family are cytotoxic, hypoglycaemic and leukopenic. 

Sumac berries contain malic acid, tannic acid, and gallic acid. Not all sumac varieties are edible. However, Rhus glabra, Rhus typhina, Rhus aromatica, Rhus copallina, Rhus integrifolia, Rhus microphylla, Rhus ovata and Rhus trilobata are.  Sumac berries which are safe to eat are red when ripe and covered in a soft fuzz. 

In Chihuahua, la limilla is used to treat leukemia. Rhus glabra, Smooth sumac, boiled fruit has been used as a treatment for painful menstruation. The roots and berries were made into a wash for sores. In Monterrey, Rhus Virens, Evergreen sumac, bark is boiled to make a tea used to treat diabetes. 

Rhus Trilobata produces a similar berry to the Rhus microphylla but is known as agrillo. The shrub has an intense smell which is the reason for one of its names, skunkbush. Among different indigenous groups, the bark, fruit, leaves, and roots were used medicinally traditionally. Rhus typhina, Staghorn sumac, leaves protect against oxidative damage. 

Hopefully, there will be more studies done in the future to ascertain the health benefits from the sumac berry. Meanwhile, while in season, I’ll enjoy an occasional glass of jaripo juice.

Gifts For Reading Addicts

Recently I signed up to become an affiliate for the UK company For Reading Addicts. With Amazon’s drop in the “goodness” ranking (at least in my book for unscrupulous employee policies, price gouging, and paying no taxes on a business that generates trillions of dollars for its owner), I thought I’d look for alternatives when it comes to shopping online this holiday season.

I’m bringing this delightful bookaholic site to your attention so far in advance of the typical gift giving season because many of the products (get this!) are made to order and as such take longer than mass produced items.

Just look at this hooded blanket, for example. It’s hand cut and sewn when you order which adds a processing time of up to 10 days. It comes in adult and youth sizes. The edges are embroidered. The interior is ultra-soft polyester. Don’t tell me you can’t imagine yourself curled up in this beautiful blanket!

Do you have a Harry Potter fan in your life? No matter the age or size (twin to California king), cover your bed with the house of your choice, the Marauder’s Map or a collage of book covers.   

That’s just a little sample of all the drool-worthy items sure to please any book lover at For Reading Addicts. There are book lights, bedding, home accessories, clothing, totes, coloring books, face masks, shoes, coffee mugs, and more! There are Halloween, Christmas and Valentine’s Day themed products plus items featuring 13 book or book series. I’ve recently become obsessed with Outlander and was thrilled to find a whole section devoted to this time-traveling romance series. There’s even a section in honor of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. 

Other thematic items include:

So there you have it! An amazing place to order the perfect gift for any book lover this holiday season. With worldwide shipping, a money back guarantee, and guaranteed quality, and secure online shopping, what more could you ask for?

 What alternatives have you found to Amazon?
