0:00.0	Buying your first home feels like freedom until something breaks. Many new homeowners face a home
0:05.6	system or appliance breakdown in year one. An AC repair alone can be expensive. American Home Shield
0:10.8	can help protect your wallet when the items you rely on break down. Like your HVAC, plumbing, electrical,
0:17.2	and appliances, if AHS can't repair your covered item, they'll replace it no matter the age.
0:22.5	Visit AHS.com slash vial files for 20% off any plan today in C promo details. That's AHS.com
0:29.4	slash vial files for 20% off. See a hs.com slash contracts for details, including fees,
0:35.2	limitations, and exclusions. The holidays are filled with many
0:38.7	gifts to give and get, and we know everyone loves saving money when checking off their list. That's
0:44.0	why we're shopping at Amazon, which was just named the lowest price online retailer for the ninth
0:48.5	straight year by Profiteiro, a third-party analytics and research firm. The study found that Amazon's prices are 14% lower
0:56.1	than other major U.S. retailers on average and up to 5% lower than the nearest competitor
1:01.1	in key gift categories. Shopping for the whole family, you'll find everything from major brands
1:05.9	to small business treasures all delivered right to your door. Visit Amazon.com where holiday
1:10.6	gifting can be both
1:11.7	affordable and stress free. I just got a text from Victoria Fuller and she is asking what mattress
1:18.5	do we use? And I said, first of all, you're a fake friend because we talk about it all the time and
1:23.0	it's Helix sleep and it's unbelievable. You'll get the best sleep of your life. And she was like,
1:27.1	thanks so much. I'm purchasing right now. Be like Victoria Fuller and get yourself the best sleep of your life with a helix mattress. They have a lineup of 20 unique mattresses for all kinds of sleepers. You sleep hot. You sleep cold on your side, on your back. Doesn't matter. They have a mattress that's right for you. And even for the kiddos. And if you are in that big and tall department, don't worry, they have you covered as well. It's incredible their sleep and it's even better their prices. I don't know why anyone waste an afternoon going to any type of mattress store or being sold on a mattress and wait an unnecessary amount of time for that mattress that they want. Just go to helixseep.com right now, answer a couple questions about your preferences and how you love to sleep.
2:03.7	And Helix will be hooking you up with the best mattress you could possibly find in just a few days. They also give you a 100-night-free trial and a 10-to-15-year warranty to try out your new Helix mattress. So if it's not only recommended by us, it's also recommended by multiple doctors of sleep medicine and leading chiropractors as a go-to solution for improving your sleep.
