Turn Your Dust Collecting Electronics Into Cash!

This post is sponsored by TradeMore. I was compensated for this post.

If you’ve taken any of our money challenges or have read our story you know that we are all about saving money and turning unused items into cash! While you could go out and get another job or start doing something on the side the quickest and easiest way to make a little extra money lies within the things you already own! Trust us, we’ve made over $5,000 this year alone selling things we no longer needed or wanted. Yes, we keep a spreadsheet of this information! ;-)

We don’t like clutter so we either sell or donate items we no longer use. We’ve shared a few easy ways to make money with things you no long want or use and we’re excited to add TradeMore to the list. Ever since I can remember I made Scott trade in or sell his old video games before getting new ones. I didn’t want the old ones just laying around AND I didn’t want to pay full price for the new game either. ;-) The same thing can be done with cell phones!

We were excited after learning about TradeMore because we knew from moving that we had a few old cell phones just taking up space in a box. We bet you have some too that can easily be turned into cash! The process is SO easy, it’s basically just 3 steps!

1. We went to TradeMoreMobile.com and searched for the device we wanted to sell and it gave us an estimated value.

2. Then we answered a few questions about the condition (Can it be powered on?, Does it have cracks?, etc).

3. We entered the required information so that TradeMore could send us our shipping kit.

That’s it!

A few days later we received the shipping kit. All we had to do at this point was clear the phone and send it back using the bubble mailer and shipping label they provided. We shipped it off and are now awaiting our MasterCard Debit Card for the value! So easy!

TradeMore offers the best prices. Payouts on TradeMore are substantially higher than the competition. For example, they are paying over $400 for an iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB while the top competitor pays just $355.

TradeMore doesn’t take just cell phones either they offer competitive prices on a variety of products including tablets and wearables.

Go to TradeMoreMobile.com and see how much you can get for the electronics you have collecting dust!

DNAFit: Understanding YOUR Body

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Helix for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

You may have already heard for yourself that you can use a DNA testing kit to find out about your ancestors but what would you think if I told you that you might be able to find out how your DNA affects your response to fitness and nutrition changes? Would you feel excited? Intrigued? Mind-Blown? We experienced those emotions too! Helix is making this happen. From search and discovery to sequencing and storing your DNA, Helix is here to guide you throughout your DNA discovery.

So, what is Helix? Helix is a state-of-the-art lab that can sequence your DNA and safely store the data for you. Helix is also a store for DNA products and offers many different apps and services powered by your DNA (like family planning and hereditary cancer screening). We were most excited about Fitness Diet Pro, a product made by a company called DNAFit and offered on the Helix Store. The insights can help you personalize your exercise and nutrition choices. For example, you can learn how your body responds to power or endurance training, your resilience to sports injury, and recovery speed. This will help you make the right exercise choices for you. You will also learn about your genetic response to carbohydrates, saturated fats, lactose, alcohol, and caffeine. Plus, learn whether your genetics indicate an increased need for antioxidants and certain vitamins. Helix was kind enough to send both Scott and I a couple DNAFit Fitness Diet Pro kits so that we could share our experience.

The process was very simple. It took less than 10 minutes from opening the kit all the way to placing it into the mailbox! Once we received the kits in the mail, we both provided a saliva sample, and simply placed the saliva sample in the box for mailing that was included and walked them down to the mailbox. That was it. The hardest thing for us was remembering not to eat or drink 30 minutes before providing the sample. A few mornings we forgot, ate breakfast, and couldn’t send in our sample!

We loved the packaging for the kit and we also have loved the communication so far. We received an email when our kits were shipped, we received an email when they received them back with the saliva sample, and we received an email when our DNA started being sequenced. We are so excited to get our next email with the results! It’s going to be very interesting to see what changes, even if they are small, we can make to improve our health and fitness routines! As soon as we get the results we will share them with you too!

Garden Lites Muffins

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Garden Lites. Thank you for supporting He and She Eat Clean. All opinions are my own.

Muffins with veggies as the first AND primary ingredient?! Yes, they DO exist. Crazy, we agree!

We are so excited to tell you about this new product we found in… you guessed it… Costco! It was the Sunday after we returned from our hiking trip to Colorado and we were there to fill our refrigerator and freezer back up. We just so happened to walk by a table that had many different flavors of muffins out. I recognized the name but had never tried the product before. We tried each flavor and we were AMAZED. As soon as I got home, I reached out to them to see if they would work with us because we knew that YOU would also love them.

These muffins are not just any muffin. Yes, the names are something that you would expect and relate to, like blueberry oat, banana chocolate chip, and chocolate but the ingredients are definitely not what you would expect! As I mentioned, veggies are the first and primary ingredient in every product. Not only that, they are gluten free, dairy free, nut free, non-GMO and Good House Keeping Nutritionist approved!

We know that everyone’s first thought is that these muffins would be a great way to get kids to eat more veggies but they are not only a great way to get kids to eat their veggies, they are also a great way to get adults to eat more veggies! We are often worried about kids eating enough veggies but we tend to overlook the fact that we, ourselves, are typically lacking in the veggie consumption department.

The Blueberry Oat Muffins, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, and Chocolate Muffins all contain 120 calories per muffing with zucchini as the first ingredient. The Ninja Power Muffins (yes, like Ninja Turtles!) are only 80 calories with zucchini as the first ingredient and the Chocolate Krabby Square Muffins are only 60 calories also with zucchini as the first ingredient. Garden Lites muffins are great for lunch boxes (of kids and adults!) or great for an on-the-go breakfast. We took a few in a cooler to eat after our hike last weekend. It was the perfect post trail snack that held us over until we got home!

As with many products in Costco, this product may not be available in every Costco and may not be available all the time. If you don’t see it in your store, request that they order it! You can also find a store near you that carries it using the store locator on their website (here and also listed below).
