Help! What should we watch next?Q: It feels like all we do anymore is watch movies and TV shows, and with winter coming, I know it'll be more of the same. The problem is, it seems like we've watched just about everything on Netflix! Any suggestions? A: You're definitely not alone! I was just complaining about the same things. Here's an idea for you to try without subscribing to yet another streaming service. Use a VPN. Here's why: When you browse Netflix using a VPN, you can see content only available in other countries. I'm not talking international movies or shows, either, but titles like "Forrest Gump" and "The Shining." It's super simple to do and we walk you through it here on Komando.com. Aside from all that, a VPN keeps what you do online private, encrypts your data and stops your ISP from throttling your speeds. Visit ExpressVPN.com/Kim for a 30-day free trial, plus 3 months free with a 12-month subscription. |
What's the best way to keep an eye on the kids?Q: My kids are old enough to stay home alone now, but I still worry about them if I need to go into the office or run a longer errand. What's the best way to keep an eye on things and feel safer leaving them alone? A: A video-monitoring service is the way to go. You can pop into the app to check on the kids whenever you want. I trust my sponsor SimpliSafe to protect me and my family, and you will too. Its around-the-clock monitoring ensures police are on the way when you need them, plus SimpliSafe is completely wireless and there's no long-term contract or hidden fees. Visit SimpliSafeKim.com to try it yourself with free shipping and a 60-day, money-back guarantee. |
My old printer isn't cutting itQ: My old printer is on its last legs. I hate buying ink (it always sneaks up on you!) and I know you recommend the Epson EcoTank printers. What makes them so great? A: I’ve used Epson printers at home and at the office for years, and even my older machines work just like they did out of the box. Epson EcoTank printers come with a ridiculous amount of ink — enough to print 6,000 colored pages. That means you can say goodbye to those expensive ink cartridges for good. |
