Although I had a blast during the summer, I always looked forward to going back to school in the fall because I got such a thrill from shopping for new supplies like pens, binders, markers, and pencil cases. And of course, I couldn’t wait to see my friends every single day again.

Even now, when September rolls around and I happen to be in a stationery store, I get that giddy feeling all over again (hehe…except I breathe a sigh of relief because I know I won’t have to take any exams anytime soon).

Whether you need duo tangs, lined paper, or presentation boards, Office Max is the place to shop. And if you make an e-trip there by August 15, make sure that you use the free Office Max coupons, and you will get 15% off your order when you pay with PayPal!

Also get your hands on these essentials:

• Notebooks
• Bags
• Erasers
• Sticky Notes
• Clips

It’s not difficult to convince your parents to shop at Office Max and get you the school supplies you need to arrive well-prepared. Better invest more time in figuring out how to convince them that your nose-ringed boyfriend is really a good guy.

Mutt’s Day - So, here I was, all pumped to finally talk about dogs, when I realized that the word ‘mutt’ didn’t mean what I thought it meant. A ‘mutt’ possesses mixed characteristics of two different types of dogs, normally called a half breed. In my world and in my personal dictionary, I identify these dogs as the hilarious names breeders and pet owners come up with. My personal favorite - the Goldendoodle, a mix between a golden retriever and a poodle! I am astonished at how many dog owners there are nowadays. I myself have a ten-year-old Pomeranian named Brandy. He is not a mutt; however, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use this day to be thankful for all dogs. If Brandy could walk around the block without getting tired, I would definitely take him for a walk. I’m sure he’ll settle for a delicious, yummy dog treat instead. If you love your dog as much as I do, then check out PETCO, a pup’s home away from home! Save 15% on discount pet products like brand name dog food, beds, meds and toys when you spend $60 or more just by using PETCO coupons.

Jump for Jelly Beans Day - Jelly beans are quite possibly the oldest known candy to mankind and are as loved and treasured as they were back in the 17th century. Now that’s what you call longevity! What’s your favorite flavor? I love the red ones, and when I’m out of reds, I go straight for the blues. I don’t know what it is with me - every time I think of jelly beans, I usually think of sweet things (besides the fact that they give you an instant sugar rush). Whenever I see a bowl of jelly beans, I imagine all things sweet and innocent, like fairies, unicorns, innocent happy children, and ME! So I was thinking, sure we can all do the boring thing by sticking to the holiday rule book and eating a bag of jelly beans. Or, we could approach it from a sweet angle. Know what I mean, jelly bean? Tackle your hectic day by smelling sweet! FragranceNet is your one stop shop for oh so sweet fragrances that are good enough to eat. Take advantage of FragranceNet coupons and save 15% on discount designer perfumes, colognes and skin care. SWEEEEEEEEEEET!

July 31st - Well, we’ve come to the end of July, my friends. Was there a favorite event that you enjoyed hearing about? I think my favorite historical occurrence in July was when England banned kissing in the 1439 (to stop the spread of germs). Maybe this is was lead to the discovery that hands carry sooooo many nasty germs. Perhaps when kissing was banned, people started to shake or hold hands to show affection, causing an epidemic of germ transferring. See how history repeats itself? We try and do something good for humanity, and it totally backfires! Well, let’s bid farewell to this hot, humid month and take one more walk down memory lane together:

1922 - Ralph Samuelson Rides 1st Water Skis - I’ve never been water skiing, but I imagine that it’s a rush. The wind, the speed, the cold water whipping around you, oh ya…and the total adrenaline rush that pumps through your veins. Are you into water skiing, or any other water sport? You’ve still got a lot of summer left to hit the waves.  Head over to Sierra Trading Post for discounts on extreme water-sport gear like full wet suits and more! Use free Sierra Trading Post coupons to save 30 - 70% on your purchase!

Famous Birthday

Dean Cain, 42 - “Look! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no…wait…It’s SUPERMAAAAAN!” I used to have such a crush on Dean Cain in the Superman series with Teri Hatcher.  Whether he was wearing a tailored suit…or skin tight leotards, my reaction was always the same…the room temperature suddenly spiked.  Gentlemen, I’m not sure what type of reaction a woman would have if you were dressed in tight leotards, but I know you’ll get second glances and curious grins when you’re struttin’ your stuff in a suit by Armani. Head over to YOOX for discounted Armani suits for men. And use our free YOOX coupons for free shipping on your order.
