A Golden Turkey?

Would you eat a golden turkey?

How about a silver apple?

Photobucket

A German company has developed aerosol sprays that allow chefs and household cooks to “colorize” their food according to their mood (as long as your mood is satisfied with gold, silver, red or blue that is).

Sound delicious or atrocious?

It is true that chefs have been able to color food using dust-like colorings, but the aerosol delivery system is new. The spray is based with ethanol (yes, same stuff that’s added to gasoline in some states) and (not surprisingly) food dyes.

Metal isn’t a new food additive, either. It was long believed that ingesting gold had healing properties, although that claim has never been proven. Generally, the metals pass right through, […]

How Much is Your House Worth in Gold?

No, that’s not a rhetorical question.

The St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, which is in charge of FRED, the economics data and chart site have finally added gold into the database. This now means you can look at the price of gold as it relates to a huge number of other factors, like the price of housing.Photobucket

BusinessInsider.com took some time to create a few interesting charts that incorporate this new gold learning. Truthfully, they did it just because they could, but the results are pretty interesting…like what your house is worth in gold (warning:  it’s a little depressing).

They did comparisons among other economic factors, too, which illustrates the proportions or, in some cases, inverse proportions that these factors have with the price of gold. No surprise – when the dollar is down, gold […]

What Does Freedom Mean to YOU?

As we celebrate this 236th Independence Day (we’re such youngsters compared to other parts of the world!), I’d like to encourage you to consider what freedom means to you.

PhotobucketI know that for me, working a 9 to 5 job was anything but freedom inspiring. I felt so trapped and never felt like I could get ahead. I hear this often from people considering becoming Glitterbug Gold Buyers. They’re tired of the rat race and simply want to get off!

Being a Gold Buyer gives you freedoms you might not otherwise have. Imagine, what would it be like to not have to send your child to a babysitter or daycare every day? What would it be like if you could pay down debt and actually afford to take a vacation without incurring additional debt? And how would it […]

Get that Golden Glow without Damaging your Skin

There’s plenty of information available that states tanning in the sun or in tanning booths isn’t good for you. PhotobucketWith skin cancer on the rise, being smart about sun exposure is becoming more critical each year. Because it’s summer, and because a golden tan is still the preferred summer look regardless of where you live, this post focuses on how to achieve that look from a bottle and not the sun’s harmful rays.

There’s no denying it, the sun is vital to our survival. Without it, the earth would be a cold, lifeless ball floating in the universe. The sun provides us with life-giving warmth, sunlight to grow plants and trees, works in conjustion with our bodies to increase our levels of vitamin D and promotes melanin production which, for some, produces a golden tan. But your […]

What Your Man Really Needs This Father’s Day

Have you ever noticed that when we celebrate Mother’s Day, we tell moms they have the most important job in the world?  We cheer them on and do special things for them.  On Father’s Day, we also tell men they have the most important job in the world.  Then we continue on to give them a bulleted outline on all the ways they should be doing it better.

Let’s put an end to this.

If you have children, think of all he does for them.  Maybe he takes them outside in the backyard to play ball Photobucketor teaches them to ride their bicycles. Maybe he helps them with their homework. Maybe he has epic tickle-wrestling wars on the living room carpet with the pre-schoolers, which makes you laugh as much as the children.

Let’s lead up to Father’s day […]

7 Ways To Spot A Fake Rolex

You’re at a swanky party and in walks an attractive couple. You know, nicely dressed, well appointed. Clearly people who care about how they look and the impression they leave you with. You nod admiringly as you watch them cross the room toward you. You reach out to shake the man’s hand and you catch a glimpse of his watch. A Rolex. “Nice!” you think. You glance again and realize – with a slight shudder – the watch is…

A fake.

Oh the dilemma. Does he know? Does he care? You question yourself – are you sure? Should you tell? Since Photobucketyou’ve only just met, you elect to not say a word and let them go on their way – leaving you to wonder what other things they’re wearing are not as they seem.

But how could you possibly […]

When is a nickel not worth a nickel?

When it’s worth 6.8 cents – that’s when.

The metal nickels are made of currently (copper and nickel) has, over the course of the past year or so, often surpassed the actual face value of the $.05 piece. One investor has jumped on this incredible oddity – spending $1 million of his own money to purchase 20 million nickels. You read that right – 20 million. That’s a lot of nickel rolls (500,000 rolls in case you were wondering).

Now you may be asking who would do that.

Kyle Bass, investor and hedge fund manager, that’s who. Never heard of him? He’s an incredibly wealthy man Photobucketwho’s built that wealth banking on the failures of others. He made a killing in the subprime industry collapse with his own hedge fund, Hayman Capital, and correctly predicted the near collapse of […]
