6 Months…. April 18, 2008

Filed under: shopping — katyshops @ 8:22 pm

Did you know that Halloween is only about 6 months from now? I bet it isn’t even on your radar! How about trying to think ahead and be the early bird that gets the worm? Better yet, plan an awesome, gruesome Halloween party! In Costume has a great selection to choose from. They even have a section called Leg Avenue Halloween Costumes . These are special costumes for the ladies that show lots of leg :) I kinda like the pirate! Now I just need to find my Johnny Depp!

I wonder what will be the “hot” costume of the year? Probably something political with the election and all. They have lots of different types of costumes - couples, group, teen, religious, historical…and a bunch more! Have you ever considered being a martini?

How about a giant Tinky Winky?

Seriously…start thinking about it. I always wait until the last minute and wish I would have thought about it sooner!

 

Seriously Stressed! April 18, 2008

I’m having a mild panic attack over my plans for tomorrow! 8:00 AM soccer & team pictures, 11-5 Big Shanty Festival (volunteering), and 7 PM Uppercase Living party at my house!! Okay, Okay…I know it’s not awful…but when am I supposed to cook for my party?? And what happens if while I am gone all day on Saturday and come home to a messy house? Cook for my party…I haven’t even planned the menu yet!! Yikes! Any suggestions? I do think I will crack open my little bottle of roll on stress relief aromatherapy. I got it with my free coupon last week :) I sure hope it works!

I just found out that Ebates is offering a double sign up bonus!!  That means you get $10 for signing up and making your first purchase :)  Here are some ideas…

Go through Ebates to Magazine.com…they will give you 25% back on your subscription.  Usually you will come out ahead - for example…Family Fun that is $9.97 for 10 issues. If you take into account the 25% cash back that goes directly in your Ebates account, you’ll end up paying around $7.50 for this offer PLUS get your $10 sign-up bonus.

I have really liked using Ebates..you get great deals (with lots of coupon codes) and cash back for every purchase you make!!
