SnackySays Newsletter. Fitness, Eats, Thoughts, Reads and MORE!

Hey SnackySays Subscribers!

How are you doing today? I hope your January has been filled with good eating and good livin’!

Another new lunar year is upon us. In sum, my Year of the Tiger had more meows than roars. Boo! I was tempted to employ a gif or meme here but let’s move on. Year of the Rabbit, you got next!

If you celebrate Seollal/Lunar New Year, 새해 복 많이 받으세요! Happy New Year!

Let’s hop right into this month’s newsletter! (See what I did there?) 🐇

3. Amazon Access

I usually go out of my way NOT to add Amazon links in this newsletter. Why? Because I got booted from Amazon’s affiliate program, twice! #bitter 🤣🤣

However, this month I am highlighting Amazon Access. Its main programs are SNAP-eligible groceries, Prime Access, and Amazon Layaway. Prime Access stands out, as it charges 50% less for monthly Amazon Prime membership. With inflation rising this could be a game-changer for some folks.

Prime Access: Qualifying Government Assistance Programs

• Medicaid

• SNAP

• SSI: Supplemental Security Income (this is different from Social Security and SSDI)

• Direct Express Prepaid Debit Card

• TANF: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

• TTANF: Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

• NSLP: National School Lunch Program

• LIHEAP: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program

• WIC: Women, Infants, and Children program

Please share with anyone who might be interested!

Please note: This applies to US-based folks. (I am unsure if Amazon has some version of this in other countries.)

BRAWTA

1. This took me out! I laughed so hard that I cried!

2. This rollerskates tote bag makes me wanna sing Anita Baker’s, “Same Old Love (365 Days A Year)”. 🎶🎵🎤

3. Gonna try Tiffy Cook’s milk custard toast but with soy milk. Cause it’s basically French Toast without the eggs. (First 2 minutes of video)

4. Eating out blows when your friends eat meat and you’re trying to live your best veggie life. Enter the Social Omnivore. I’m not there yet but I see its merits.

And last but not least, if you’ve been wanting to dip your toes into Chinese Dramas, BUT you don’t want to commit 40 hours of your life…I present to you, the mini-drama! My current favorite is Seal of Love! It’s less than two hours long. You’re welcome. 😉

Oh Hey!

Thanks for reading all the way to the end! While you’re here, I thought I’d share this Get 11-Line Abs Workout from my favs at AllBlanc TV! Back in November, I did a 30 Days Abs Challenge which consisted of 5-10 mins daily core work. This 5-minute routine is one that I recently enjoyed and will definitely be revisiting!
