Help me get some peace of mind

Q: The state of the world is, well, freaking me out. Safety is on my mind and I want to make sure I'm doing all I can to keep me and my family protected. What home security system do you recommend?

A: Preparation and protection is key. I’ve looked at all the options and I trust SimpliSafe for my own home. SimpliSafe monitors 24/7 and it won't fail if the power goes down, the Wi-Fi is out or intruders smash your keypad. It's a home security system built 100% with users in mind. That means it's easy to install and use. It's the best out there, plain and simple.

Go to SimpliSafeKim.com and get free shipping and a 60-day, money-back guarantee.


Working from home

Q: My office is closed and I'm working from home. I'm using my personal laptop and phone to get everything done and this feels like a smart time to back up my devices. How should I do it?

A: The easiest, quickest way to make sure you get every document, photo and video is with my sponsor, IDrive. For less than $7 for your first year, you get 5 terabytes of cloud space. That should be all you need and more. 

You really can’t beat that price. Get your exclusive discount at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout.


Help me save some cash

Q: I don't want to go to the store right now. Is there a trick to getting good deals shopping online? I feel like everyone knows something I don't.

A: There is a secret: Honey. It's a free, easy-to-use browser extension and app. You can find coupons for thousands of retailers that actually work. No more endless searching online for good deals. Honey is so easy to install, too. Just a couple of clicks and you're done.

Not using Honey is literally passing up free money. Get Honey for free at JoinHoney.com/Kim
