September 11th - It was on this day in history in 1961 that Bob Dylan first performed in New York City. Ranked at #2 on the Greatest Artists of All Time list in Rolling Stone magazine, Dylan has become a living legend in music. His mix of folk, blues, rock ‘n’ roll, country, gospel, jazz and even swing music created a new sound that people were drawn to. He continues to create albums today that still hit number one. In 2006, his Modern Times album made it to number one on the US Album Chart. It was also named Album of the Year in the Rolling Stone magazine. If you’re a Bob Dylan fan, then continue to rock on with albums from Sony Style. Head over there now and present Sony Style coupons for a discount on CDs!

Make Your Bed Day – I’ll start off today’s holiday by telling you what I did last night which really puts a damper on my mood. I put my heavy down filled comforter on my bed because it’s been soo cold lately that my light summer blanket simply won’t do anymore. So, essentially, I made my bed last night! Of course I did it again today when I woke up. I cannot function with a messy bed. As soon as I pop out of bed, I’m already fixing it. Mind you, I never used to be like this. I’m sooo meticulous that I hate having friends sit on my bed when they come in my room because they make it all lumpy and ugly. It’s one of my ultimate pet peeves! As kids, we’re almost forced to make our beds; however, if kids can learn to do that when they’re young, imagine the organizational skills they’ll develop as they grow up. Anyway, today you should totally check out Designer Linens Outlet for bedding collections for the whole family. Save 10% on discount Nautica and Liz Claiborne bedding, bed skirts and bed pillows for new customer orders when you use Designer Linens Outlet coupons. And don’t make me tell you again…make your bed!

No News Is Good News Day – Well, you don’t have to tell me that twice! I hate watching the news. All you hear about is violent and brutal stories whether it’s across the world or right in your own community. You rarely get the good news story which inspires you or motivates you to tackle your day with an open mind. No doubt, the news stories that make the evening news are important and these are things we need to know. However it gets to a point when enough is enough! Today, steer clear of any television, news radio show or newspaper stand and just focus on the good in life, the here and now. I’d love to see how long it lasts before someone comes up to you updating you on the latest breaking news. While you’re busy avoiding all these distractions, read our daily blog and you’re sure to laugh out loud. I guarantee it! Then take advantage of our coupons. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain, including some new duds from Karmaloop. Apply Karmaloop coupons toward your purchase and save 10% Converse and Adidas apparel, handbags and accessories when you spend $35 or more.
