Wait, do I really need a VPN? Q: You advertise using a VPN. Every time I use one it cuts my speed drastically. Also, streaming sites won't play if you're using a VPN. What gives? A: VPNs are great — if you pick the right one. VPNs used to be seriously slow and some of them still are. Sure, your data was protected, but forget about streaming movies or even music. But that’s not the case with ExpressVPN. It encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes — all without sacrificing speed. That’s why I love it! And yes, you can use it with any streaming site. Don’t just take my word for it. Try ExpressVPN free for 30 days, and get 3 months free when you sign up for a year at ExpressVPN.com/Kim. |
Help me save some cash Q: I'm new to shopping for essentials online. I heard you talk about Honey on your show. Is it an app or website I visit? How does it work? A: I love Honey, honestly! I find deals on so many of my online purchases. It's a free, easy-to-use browser extension. You don't need a separate app and you don't have to log in to a website every time you want to use it. I love that. Honey finds coupons for thousands of retailers that actually work, all while you shop. No more endless searching online for good deals. Honey is 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. |
