A present for my wife Q: I heard you talking about the sheets your mom loves. Where did you get them? I want to get my wife something nice for putting up with me during quarantine. A: How sweet of you! The sheets are from Purple and Mom seriously says she'll never go back. I feel the same way about my Purple mattress. When you're ready for a new one, check them out. I've tried a lot of different beds over the years, and this is my favorite mattress. The fine folks at Purple have a special code you can use to save some money, too. Sleep well on those new sheets! For a limited time, get 10% off any order of $200 or more. Go to Purple.com/kim10 and use the promo code “KIM10” at checkout. |
I tried everything! Now what? Q: My Wi-Fi sucks. I've used all the tricks on your site to speed things up, and that's definitely helped, but there are still rooms where webpages barely load. What now? A: It might be your equipment. When's the last time you upgraded your router? I had the same issues in my house — a spotty connection, dead spots and all the frustration that came with it. Until I tried eero. Here's how it works: eero covers your whole home with fast, reliable Wi-Fi inside and out. You get a strong, consistent signal, even when everyone in your house is using the internet. It's super easy to set up, too. Plug eero right into your modem and you're good to go. Right now, you can get 20% off and my code gives you free next-day shipping! Go to eero.com/kim. |
My PC crapped out Q: I'm working from home on my old PC, and it gave out on me this week. I haven't been good about backing everything up, and now I'm realizing what a big mistake that was. All my CDs and year's worth of documents are just gone. I'm not making that mistake again. Where do I start? A: I feel your pain. We've all lost documents, photos, videos, you name it. Once you make that mistake once, you're not going to repeat it. Take a look at my sponsor, IDrive. For just a few bucks a month, you can back up all your devices to one account. It happens automatically, too, so you can just set it up and know your data is in good hands. For less than $7 for your first year, you get 5 terabytes of cloud space. You really can’t beat that. Get your exclusive discount at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout. |

A better, cheaper way to print With so many of us working from home, I want to make sure you have the right printer that’s up for the task. The Epson EcoTank makes it easy. This printer has super-sized, easy-to-fill ink tanks and comes with a RIDICULOUS amount of ink — enough to print thousands of pages. No more rushing to the store and waiting for your online order to arrive to replace an ink cartridge in between print jobs. The quality is excellent, too. Add the Epson EcoTank to your online shopping list at Amazon, Dell, MicroCenter and at Epson.com/ecotankkim. → |
