How to Save up to $1100 Each Year on Homeowners Insurance

You've heard about ways to save money on homeowners insurance before. Shave a little cash here and a little there and you've lowered your premiums. Is it really worth the time and effort just to save a few bucks? How much can you really save? Well, that depends on a great many factors such as the home, where you live and how far you are willing to go to save money. If you take a few minutes to read through this article, you can learn some great tips for how to save up to $1100 each year on homeowners insurance.

Home Safety and Security

Home safety and security are important for not only the safety of you and your family, but also for lower rates on your home insurance. Safety and security are tied to a few basic things: fire, theft and vandalism. Homes that have more safeguards in place qualify for lower rates. That means smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, deadbolt locks, outside lighting and a security system can all pay for themselves through lower homeowners insurance rates. It can also be helpful to have a neighborhood watch. It helps build community relationships, guards against vandalism and theft, and can reduce your insurance premiums with some companies. Not only do these things pay for themselves and more over time, but they keep you, your family and your home safe and secure.

Reinforce Your Home Against the Elements

If you live in areas that are at a high risk for certain perils such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes, you will pay more for your homeowners insurance. However, there are things you can do that will help you save money. Storm shutters are an affordable option to begin the process. It can also benefit you to have a roofing contractor consult with you on what exactly you can do to reinforce your roof. If in an earthquake prone area, you will want to make sure your home meets or exceeds building codes for structural strength. A strong home can better withstand a natural disaster. It may take upfront money to get your home up to the level it needs to be, but it will pay off down the road with cheaper homeowners insurance rates and a reduced likelihood of having to pay that deductible to repair your home.

Take Advantage of Discounts

A great way to increase your savings is to understand what it takes to get as many discounts as possible on your policy. Some companies offer as many as 40 discounts for policies that range from a few dollars off per month to 25 percent off your premiums. There are discounts for:

• Bundling auto and other policies with your home insurance

• Specific occupations

• Retiring

• Staying loyal to your insurance company

• Marriage

• Paying premiums in full rather than installments

• Having premiums deducted from bank account

This is a short list, so take a few minutes to look through a couple of insurance company websites to see a complete list of the specific discounts they offer.

Pay Attention to Changes in Your Life and Environment

Changes are constant and they can have an impact on how much you pay for your homeowners insurance. It's not up to the insurance company to keep up with these changes; it is up to you to inform them of these changes. Even changes you may not think important to your homeowners insurance may lower your rates. For instance, if you get married, your rates may drop. If you change jobs to one that garners a discount, tell your insurance company immediately. If a fire hydrant is placed closer to your home, your rates can drop. If you switch from well water to municipal water, you may get a discount. If a fire station is built closer to your home or goes from volunteer to paid, you can save money.

Online Price Comparisons

Saving money means finding the best bargain. How can you do that without comparison shopping? Luckily, you can now comparison shop online. This quickens the process and gives you more options for comparison. When shopping, be sure you are looking at respectable insurance companies with a strong history of good customer service and a variety of policy offerings. To find the best price among the strongest candidates, get online quotes. Quotes will provide you with the prices you need to make a comparison and find the biggest savings.

You can use our free rate quote tool to get as many as 10 or more quotes in minutes. The more quotes you get the better. Yes, by doing the things mentioned above and comparing rates, you can save as much as $1,100 on your homeowners insurance. http://www.homeownersinsuranceaxis.com/

EPROMODA FASHION FILMS

As Spain’s # 1 makeup and fashion school with locations in Madrid and Barcelona, EPRO has now also recently launched their very own fashion club titled EPROMODA which is quickly making a stand on the online makeup and fashion marked. 

It makes perfect sense really that EPRO branches out in this direction as they for over 5 years now have trained and graduated thousands of Online makeup artist, fashion styling and fashion design students, both in English and in Spanish. The more amazing factor is that the students are drilled in a manner that allows them the same exams level and certification at the end of study as their in-house students in Madrid and Barcelona gets. 

EPRO states the following about EPROMODA: “The videos, articles and tutorials have a mission of staying true to the expectations of our fans and readers, and will always seek out to use new and fresh models who´ll be given a great opportunity to start their career. EPROMODA understands their fans and students need for high-end fashion that is also doable and approachable and therefore strives for a commercial fashion look that will inspire, motivate and illuminate the days of our readers and viewers. “- And to be quite honest- they do exactly that!

The videos are great, professional and the makeup is technically amazing- but what is even better is how user-friendly they are. We have all seen hundreds of artsy fashion films, that are great, but it doesn´t necessarily give direct inspiration to something a makeup and fashion lover or professional can or would do themselves…

The videos, articles and tutorials´ variety are also a great plus as it caters for every taste, color and facial structure. They don´t always choose to use super polished models which is very admirable as it gives fashion a true face- finally! As far as we can tell, there is no Photo Shop used either (!) and the looks are very straight forward and easily explained without skipping a step just to appear simpler.

So there you have it EPROMODA- so far so good and we´re excited to see the coming stuff you´ll create for us! www.eproimagecourses.com

Covering up google and rip off report by criminal hackers! Read the shocking story

via flipoutmama

Today I am going to share a story that might be kind of disturbing to you guys. It was disturbing for me the first time I heard it. But I think the story has an important message that we need to spread and raise awareness about. 

In September 2007, young mother Krista Stryland went in for a liposuction procedure at the Toronto Cosmetic Clinc. She would never return. Turns out, the "surgeon" that performed the procedure on her, was not a surgeon at all. The doctor had no surgical experience, no surgical accreditation. She removed too much fat and fluid from Krista, way more than what is allowed. And, after the procedure, she only spent 30 seconds evaluation Krista's condition before going ahead and moving on to another patient. 

Dr. Behnaz Yazdanfar has been stripped of her licence to practise medicine for two years and indefinitely banned from performing surgery on her own following the 2007 death of Krista Stryland

At her hearing, it was noted: 

"“She operated on patients who should have had their procedures done in hospital,” the ruling noted. “She did larger operations than she should have done. She discharged patients inappropriately. These errors in judgment spanned her practice and were not isolated events.”

What happened to Krista? She died. What happened to Krista's little boy? He has no mommy. What happened to the doctor? Umm. She was stripped of her medical license for two years.  She can apply for her license to be reinstated after a year, and even then, she can still be a surgical assistant. 

Ridiculous. 

So, when Krista's friends and families tried to spread the word to warn others about this doctor's actions... Allegedly, the doctor's office revenue plummeted... So what was the doctor's office to do?? They hired someone to HACK sites like Ripoff Report to remove these reports and silence victim's families. I find this to be horrible! 

I can't believe that this site and this man would consciously remove the reports that were warning others about this! 

I find this very disturbing and I wanted to share this story with others so that you can be informed about this type of hacking and that it does in fact, exist. 

Have you ever heard of something like this? Please share in the comments if you have.
