I’ve been hearing about renting college textbooks way back when. If I am not mistaken, a friend of mine mentioned it to me. I didn’t really focused on it before because, well, I am already done with college and I didn’t have any use for that information. Boy, was I wrong! Fast forward to a month or so ago, three younger cousins of mine asked my help in securing college textbooks. I was racking my brain, forcing myself to remember what my friend told me about. It’s a good thing that textbooks rental came to mind.

CampusBookRentals.com is a site offering college textbooks rental to those who need it. Guaranteed up to 80% savings, definitely lower cost in securing textbooks than buying in bookstores, college kids can surely use those savings in other more important school fees. Other perks when you choose CampusBookRentals.com are the following:

- free shipping both ways

And you know what else is great about renting textbooks? A donation is made to Operation Smile with each textbook rented! It is an international medical charity for children suffering from cleft lip and cleft palate. The organization performs safe and effective surgery as well as postoperative and medical therapies to children from low-income families. What a great cause!

Now, if you are one of those who feel the need to get all textbooks and are now done using it, you can use RentBack to rent your books out to other students. Instead of selling it, you will get back the cost of your textbook more by renting it out. Learn more through the following video:

Now, I can tell college students I know that they can rent textbooks and, at the same time, help kids with cleft get the help they need. And, there is also a way to get back the cost of a textbook bought and it is by renting it out to other students. So many options to save and help!

I’ve been reading one status posted after another by a friend of mine in Facebook. She is in the process of changing her lifestyle. She works in a fast-paced environment and lives a pretty decadent life. It took her a while before she realized that she’s working and partying herself to death! If she wouldn’t stop the kind of life she’s living, she will just keel over and die from the abuse she’s doing to her own body and soul.

So, a lifestyle change is in order for her. She begun by getting her hair cut pixie style. It was a symbolic rite of shedding off the old lifestyle she had. Then, she did a general cleaning of her flat. She threw or gave away every item that she felt would only lead her back to her old life or would hinder the change she’s about to do. She raided her refrigerator and gave away food that she won’t eat anymore. She’s making a leap to healthy eating. She also got a outremer fragrance from smallflower.com just to inspire her to continue pushing herself to become the better version of who she is now.

Onward to a lifestyle change! I wish I can do the same.

I was able to talk to a high school friend of mine about a week ago. He is also an accountant like me. He is very busy with several ongoing projects at the moment. I was lucky I caught him at the right time, he was just online to check on musician friend because his wife asked him to. Anyway, I asked how he was and he told me that he’s never felt so fulfilled in his life. His work is doing great and his marriage is in its seventh year. Everything in his life at the moment is fine. He couldn’t ask for more except…

Well, he told me that he could do with mini vacations in between his projects. There are days when he goes home so darn tired that all he could do is kiss his wife goodnight and go directly to sleep. Not once did he find himself wearing the same clothes when he wakes up the next day. Good thing his wife is a very supportive one and she understands the demand of his work so she would just shake her head at him before asking him to make sure not to repeat it. She doesn’t want him to get sick when he sleeps sweaty from the commute home.

I told him that he and his wife take advantage of weekends. They should plan their mini vacations in such a way that two days are more than enough. I also told him to stop himself from bringing work to their home so that he won’t find himself working even when he’s supposed to be resting.
