Tell Me What’s Going On

Chicago International Film Festival (October 16 to 29)

If you’re an art lover, then chances are that you’re a cinema lover too. So if you’re coming to Chi-Town for its arts scene, you can’t afford to miss the CIFF. See the latest work from the world’s top filmmakers and maybe spot a star at the screening!

Any director will tell you that films are meant to be watched up on the big screen - it’s just not the same on a tiny TV. That’s why every film buff needs a proper home theater setup from Sony Style. Shop with your Sony Style coupons and find Sony electronics for less!

My God, I’m in love with Folica - the beauty bible. From now until October 20, redeem Folica coupons for free shipping and $10 off orders of $100 or more!

I’ve never been more pumped than I am now to promote an offer. Why? Folica sales like this come once in a blue moon. Plus, I have bought from them before and was thoroughly impressed with their quick and efficient customer service, as well as their competitive pricing and product selection.

But first things first. I must divulge my biggest secret weapon…at least when it comes to beauty. My day just wouldn’t feel right if I haven’t used the Sedu Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron.

In my opinion, it pulverizes the widely-acclaimed CHI because it leaves your hair silky smooth in less time and never snags. Props go to Folica for offering it with 1″ and 1.5″ plates for a super-low price!

Color me a rainbow! They even sell my favorite - OPI Nail Lacquer! (Okay, breathe, Atomica!) OPI is the choice of professional salons everywhere, and for good reason.

I own over 40 bottles of polish, and with OPI, my manicures last at least 4-5 days. Plus they come in so many different and unique colors with witty names such as Grape Wall of China and Amster-Damsel in Distress. What’s not to love?

Nail polish by Essie and China Glaze are also strong contenders. For sheers, nudes, and traditional hues, grab Essie. For bold colors like holographic purples, bright fuschias, and blue creams, China Glaze never disappoints.

Those are my top picks. So which are your tried-and-true beauty products? Head to Folica today to add more to the mix!

With the artistic touch of autumn’s paintbrush, lush landscapes spring to life full of warm, rich hues. And as the temperature takes a dip, something other than the leaves changes. It’s hard to describe, but the air smells and feels refreshingly minty.

October 1st - I know autumn started a week or so ago, but it really feels like fall to me when October 1st hits. I love autumn colors - rich reds, deep maroons, chocolaty browns, mustard yellows, flaming oranges…so warm.  I’ll be taking out my autumn home decor and accents tonight and turning my home into a warm, autumn haven. It doesn’t take much either. Change a few area rugs, decorative pillows, table accents, candles and voila! I even change the comforter on my bed and sometimes my curtains. Transforming your home with decorative accents doesn’t have to cost you a fortune either. Head over to Designer Linens Outlet for discounted fall home decor & accents. And if you’re a new shopper, use our free Designer Linens Outlet coupons for 10% off your purchase total!

Famous Birthday

Julie Andrews, 73 - The hills are aliiiiive with the sound of muuuusiiiiiic. There, now you’ll have that song in your head all day. Julie Andrews starred in the famous films The Sound of Music and, my all-time favorite, Mary Poppins.  Get both of these classics for less at Sony Style.

Fire Pup Day - Come on…don’t deny it, I know you remember the fire pup that used to come visit you at your kindergarten class! I do and do I ever miss him! He would always come unexpectedly and teach us about fire protocol and procedures. Thinking back, I love how dogs are usually associated with a fire hydrant (for obvious reasons) and then end up being the mascot for the fire department! I also appreciate the fact that after all these years, the lessons this dog taught me and my kindergarten class really stuck with me. Bringing in a mascot or animal like the fire pup is a great way to get kids’ attention who may otherwise wonder off or doze off during an important presentation. You know by now how much I love pooches, and today is no exception. Dogs are just such smart animals how can you not love ‘em?! Today, I salute the fire pooches that work so hard to teach us and protect us from house and forest fires. This is one job that surely doesn’t receive the proper attention it deserves. So today, if you have a pet or know the fire dog, then head over to Petco for something extra special for a special dog! Apply Petco coupons and save 15% on discount dog treats, chew toys, beds and supplies on orders of $60 or more.

Balloons Around the World Day - This yearly event taking place always on October 1st brings together artists (not just any artists…balloon artists) around the world to design balloons and balloon animals. Essentially, this event is used to showcase the balloon industry. A field that many people don’t know much about; however, everyone loves the core of its business - to make balloons! These artists can create whatever they like and for whatever reason whether it be for a charity or for any passerby. In my opinion, I can’t think of a better way to bring joy to someone’s day than with a bunch of balloons. What do you see at every party you go to? BALLOONS! And what do you do with them? Pop them, pose with them, or sneak them home with you when the host isn’t watching? Hmm, I’m more likely to do the last one! Nonetheless, Balloons Around the World Day is just an all around FUN day to look at some great balloon creations. Are you wondering how you will celebrate today’s holiday? Celebrate in your own way by shopping at Shindigz. Receive free shipping on discount party theme balloons and decorations on orders of $50 or more when you use Shindigz coupons.
