Win a New Laptop for You & a Friend! #WMExperienceIntel #Ad

This post is sponsored by Mirum. All views and opinions expressed are my own.

Can you think of someone in your life who deserves a new laptop? How about surprising him or her with a FREE new laptop powered by Intel? I bet it would be one of the best holiday gifts ever! As a blogger, I can hardly go by a day without touching my laptop. It has literally become an indispensable part of my daily life. I use it to update my blog, to edit image files, and to share my posts and other fun stuff on social media. It is the primary device I use to access the Internet for news, information, shopping, entertainment, and so much more. Although there are times I wish I could feel less attached to my computer, it is no doubt a valuable tech gear that has helped make life easier and more enjoyable for me.

Last year, Intel gave away laptops to three people who had inspiring stories to share. This year, they want to sweeten the offer by giving away two laptops – one for the winner and one for their friend (Total ARV $1,000)! Click on the picture above to watch Mimi’s, one of last year’s winners, tell her amazing story about how her laptop powered by Intel changed her life. Then fill out the entry form for your chance to win free laptops! Promotion ends 12/31/16. Limit one entry per person. Good luck!

If you need a new laptop sooner, you can always enjoy low everyday prices at Walmart for such popular models as HP Pavilion Liquid Platinum Gaming, HP Pavilion Manhattan Gold, and Dell Inspiron.

Disclosure: This post is for my participation in the Intel Influencer Program. I could also win a new laptop if I drive the most contest entries of participating bloggers.

The History Major Blog Tour: Review & Chromebook Giveaway #TheHistoryMajor

How would you feel if you were to find that things and people around you turned strange and unfamiliar overnight? I'd certainly feel confused, frustrated and even scared. But Amanda Greene has a lot more complicated feelings to deal with as she desperately searches for a plausible explanation for everything she is going through in The History Major by Michael Phillip Cash. This is the first book I've read from the award-winning author and I was totally absorbed into his intricate web of imagination soon after I started reading this unusual story.

The History Major is a short but intense read. It blends in elements of mystery, thriller, horror, and supernatural fiction. But it's like no other mystery I've read before. I couldn't help marveling at the author's unique way of piecing together seemingly unrelated fragments into one cohesive picture. Reading the book was like riding a time travel machine shuffling between history, reality, and Amanda's memories about her childhood as well as the night before her hangover. The line between fact and fantasy got blurred from time to time, keeping the readers wonder what the truth is, which won't be unravelled until the very last few pages of the book! The author goes further by exploring the ways in which history could shed light on the present. For me, this is a book that's worth reading more than once!
