Miss Lori finds money using the SWAGG app on her Android phone

There are so many apps available with our phones. I must say I am a total novice compared to many of my friends, and certainly my kids, but I am working at increasing my familiarity. My efforts have brought me in contact with SWAGG. No, not the swag I write about from the conferences I attend. No, I’m talking SWAGG with two Gs. It’s an app that helps you get organized and take more advantage of those gift cards that are stuffing your wallet. (Now you are speaking my language!) Any app that gets me organized is a friend to me. Thanks to my association with Clever Girls Collective, just before the holidays I was introduced to the SWAGG app, and my purse has been lighter, yet more valuable ever since. [Read more...]

Miss Lori is excited to be a SWAGG Brand Ambassador and share it with you

My purse weighs a ton. So much so that you can actually see the dip in my shoulder. It’s ridiculous. What am I carrying around? Well, for starters, I’ve got a trillion gift cards and loyalty cards. Come on, you know what I am talking about. I bet your wallet is just as overloaded with the same thing. That’s why it was such a blessing to me when the Clever Girls Collective put me in touch with a great application called SWAGG. SWAGG maintains all the information for all of those cards in one place: on my smart phone, (which you know I am never going to leave home without). Oh, and did I mention that it’s FREE!

It means I am ruled by my wireless company. I am at their mercy, or at least I have been for the last two years. However, right now I am at a wonderful crossroads. Every one of my family’s phones are off contract. Oh yes! That means I am a FREE AGENT! (Look out Lebron!) Now my children each have a very strong opinion about what they want me to do. All of their suggestions are fueled by the images of dancing smart phones in their heads. (However, I don’t believe that children should have internet access on their phones. I don’t mind if they have the ability to tap into their facebook accounts, but that’s it.) Nevertheless, I need to take a more fiscally responsible approach. (Although I wouldn’t mind a dancing smart phone myself!). [Read more...]
