Free Shower Hooks

I'm not sure how often people need to replace their shower hooks (my shower has a glass door) but in case you do, you can pick up a set for free right now. Customized Shower Curtains is offering to send a free set of twelve shower hooks free, if you register at their website. Why would they do that? Well, until I saw this offer I had no idea of their customized shower curtain designs so I guess it's a way for them to become known.

As I've written before, I suggest using a non-primary and free (i.e. yahoo or hotmail) account for these types of offers to keep them out of your personal e-mail in-box.

Free Sample of Emergen-C® Multi-Vitamin Drink Mix

Here's a sample I can recommend since my wife and I have used Emergen-C® for some time. We keep their powdered mix (tangerine flavor is the one we like) of their 1000 mg Vitamin-C fizzy-drink packets around the house. They're great if you feel the first sign of a cold coming on, or when you feel a little sluggish or low-energy.

Walmart on-line is sending you two samples just for the asking -- first, an Emergen-C® multi-vitamin in a fizzy-drink packet. This one is flavored like cherry-pomegranate. The second one is a Vitamin-C mix like the one I described above, this version called Emergen-C Pink® lemonade.

Free Download of Portrait Professional 6 Airbrushing Software

For anyone who works with graphic design or photographs, this free download offer is one worth checking out. For anyone who wants to try it and see what they can do with some of those old family photos, it may also be fun. Portrait Professional is offering a free download of Portrait Professional 6 Portrait Airbrushing Software.

The site is written in German so the degree you understand it relates to whether you know the language or know someone who does. However, based on the name of the file being downloaded afterwards for the program, I believe instructions come in English.

My wife reads German and indicated the site basically states the validation code is one per installation and cannot be shared, and the download is for personal use only. Ther code will expire within 7 days so you need to activate the softward soon after you get the code. The site will send you monthly information on other software products but doesn't show any obligation to buy.

If you want to give this free download a try, click this link and enter your e-mail address (as always, I suggest using your non-personal e-mail account for such commercial contacts). I also recommend making sure your virus protection is up-to-date before downloading software from anyone (nothing particular against this offer, it's wise for anything).

After you enter your e-mail, you will receive an activation code. Once you have that, click here to begin your download.
