Save cash and plant trees when you rent your books

Did you know that the average college student spends over $500 per term, only buying textbooks? Seems like an awful lot of money to buy textbooks that often get opened one time, right? Well, with Chegg.com, you can save hundreds!

So stop wasting your money and start renting textbooks instead of buying them! I rent my books from Chegg.com, and I have a promo code that will save you an additional 5% off your total order, use CC114847.

Want proof of savings?

Essential Biology by Campbell, Reece & Simon is $83.18 if you buy it used on Amazon.com. If you rent it on Chegg.com, it’s only $11.78. That’s a savings of over $71!

It’s so simple, just search for the books you need and place your order. Chegg will ship them to you fast and at the end of the term you ship them back for free. What’s really cool is that they plant a tree for every book that you rent.

Don’t forget to visit Chegg.com and use promo code CC114847.

Recent artistic inclination

Lately, I have been drawing stuff, for myself as well as for people on Gaia Online. I hope to do more drawings over the winter break. I also need to put some of my new drawings, as well as poems on Deviant Art. Here are some examples below of what I recently drew. Feel free to comment, as always, I welcome (constructive) criticism. My Deviant Art page can befound here. And my Gaia online page is here.

Holiday-inspired smoothies!

I've been in the mood for delicious drinks lately, although I am never a fan of packing on calories. So I have been making these concoctions, which are more like virgin margaritas than smoothies, really. One recipe was inspired by the cranberries which I boiled to make my famous home-made cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. I had a lot of frozen cranberries left over, and didn't want them to go to waste. So I decided to throw them in a blender with a little crushed ice, a couple of lime wedges, and a splash of 2% milk. The result was this awesomely delish cranberry lime smoothie that my fiance and I enjoyed together.

And my other smoothie was made out of sliced kiwi fruit left over from a Thanksgiving dinner we went to at a friend's house. I love kiwi, and would have hated for it to get thrown away. So once again, I threw the fruit in the blender and decided to add some frozen blackberries and a little 2% milk, and voila, a gorgeous smoothie that everyone loved.
