Handbags are my favorite fashion item because not only can they scream personality, but they can also be extremely practical. However, adding to your collection doesn’t come without a cost. Factor in designer purses with names like Louis Vuitton and Burberry, and it’s easy to see that it could cost a fortune to keep up with the latest trends.

That’s where BagBorrowOrSteal.com comes in. Rent a handbag the same way you’d rent a DVD from a movie store. Choose which ones interest you, pay a small fee, and return the bag when you’re done.

And if you use the FS exclusive BagBorrowOrSteal.com coupons for a limited time, you’ll get 25% off any handbag rental! Get your hands on these and other great bags:

• Kate Spade Evening Handbags
• Fendi Totes
• Coach Hobos

• Louis Vuitton Clutches

Get all the style and bag your favorite purses, but nix the scary bills at the end of the month when you shop at BagBorrowOrSteal.com today!

I’m not quite sure how it happens, but so often, I end up writing about food at the end of the day. Maybe it’s my subconscious telling me that I live to eat. Or maybe there are always just some really amazing deals that I must share with you.

I’m so ready for summer to make its grand entrance, and it won’t be hard to bid cool weather a temporary farewell. What better way to welcome my favorite season than with free Macy’s coupons? Use them by June 1, and you’ll get 10-50% off + values at the Summer Essentials Sale!

~* Atomica’s Brief Guide to Surviving the Heat *~

Tip #1: Dress Cool & Comfortably

Keep your cool even when the sun shows no mercy. The women’s silver Luli Fama Ring-Detailed One-Piece Monokini Swimsuit is bling-bling for the pool, and is sure to make onlookers sweat. The sexy side cutouts show off some skin while still leaving much to the imagination.

Tip #2: Drink Plenty of Liquid

When you’re out and about in the heat, you need to drink even more water than usual to avoid dehydration. And when you’re just chilling in the backyard or at the park, it’s refreshing to enjoy a cold smoothie that you made with your Haier Commercial Stainless Steel Blender. Just wash and chop some fruits, add yogurt and honey, and give it a whirl!

Shop Macy’s today before the coupons expire, and get ready for fun in the sun!

(P.S. And here’s something else to celebrate: this is Atomica’s 500th post!)

Picture the most posh boutiques, the swankiest restaurants and the finest hotels in a city as sophisticated as Chicago. Now, imagine bringing them all together on one downtown boulevard. There’s only one word for it - magnificent.

Gardens of the Magnificent Mile (June 26 to September 1)

There’s only one thing better than shopping Chicago’s Magnificent Mile - shopping it during the summer. Beautiful floral displays and stunning public art installations line the street, making your trips up and down North Michigan Avenue even more thrilling.

Make sure you’re fully prepared for your summer-shopping excursions by investing in an essential accessory - sunglasses. Pick up the latest frames from Armani, Fendi, Valentino and other top designers at SmartBargains. New customers get 12% off!

What would you do if every time guests visited your home, they threw garbage on the floor? And how would you feel if the trash remained where it landed, only to rot and pollute your space? Wouldn’t you retaliate? (For Atomica, it would mean war!) So you can imagine how Mother Nature reacts to litterbugs.

What can you do to reverse the deleterious effects the Earth has already suffered? Start promoting a greener, cleaner, and more-conscious lifestyle by shopping at Gaiam.

We cannot close our eyes any longer. It’s time to take responsibility for our actions. After all, it’s the polar bears’ habitat and bees’ honey that are directly feeling the consequences. Combine that with global warming and new species becoming extinct at alarming rates.

Head to Gaiam today because the time for change is right now, not later.

May 27th - There was quite a bit of action on this day in history. I think the most exciting occurrence was in 1969, when Walt Disney World construction began! I’ve never been there myself, but my parents have. Yup - they went to Disney World and left my brother behind to stay with Grandma. I’m glad I wasn’t born yet; I’d hate to carry that grudge with me for the rest of my life.

1994 - Flintstones Live Action Movie Opens in Theaters - Who was your favorite Flinstones character? It’s a tie between Fred and Barney for me. The two of them together are hilarious! When you’ve got a costume party to attend, arrive with your best bud as Barney and Fred, or make it a couples thing by dressing up as Fred and Wilma. Make an entrance with a huge “Yabba Dabba Doo!” when you get your costumes at Costume SuperCenter. And use Costume SuperCenter coupons for 5% off when you spend $30 or more!  

1997 - First All-Female Team Reaches the North Pole - These women demonstrated true strength, endurance and team work. They set out on a difficult journey and pushed themselves to impossible limits. If this event inspires you to take that adventurous journey you’ve only dreamt of so far, then it’s time you finally did it! Whether you need camping gear, discount climbing equipment, kayaking essentials or more, discover the tools you need to succeed at Dicks Sporting Goods.

Famous Birthday

Andre 3000, 33 - This extremely talented OutKast member is a musician, singer, song writer, rapper, hip hop producer, and actor. Phew! That was a mouth full.  I love his distinct wardrobe - he sports a preppy side with plaid jackets and mixes in hip hop flavor with hats and baggy pants. Wanna steal his look? Just head over to Karmaloop - find every aspect of his wardrobe on sale for less! And save 10% when you spend $35 or more with Karmaloop coupons. 

National Grape Popsicle Day - I remember zipping around the playground as a kid, covered with sticky purple Popsicle remnants. I don’t know what’s in Popsicles (besides tons of sugar), but they ought to give them to Olympic athletes. I surely broke some speed records back in those days! In honor of today, I’m switching my morning coffee with a grape Popsicle. Then I’ll head to the park and challenge the neighborhood kids to a swing-off. It’s fun to re-live your childhood sometimes. If you prefer to do it at home and avoid the risk of getting bullied by a gang of 10 year olds, you’ll want to visit Target. Check out the selection of discount Playtime swing sets for your little ones, or find wooden porch swings on sale for a romantic swing under the stars. Use free Target coupons and take $5 off orders of $ 50 or more.
