December 8th – It was on this day in history in 1941 that San Francisco’s 1st blackout occurred at 6:15pm. I always have a good laugh when there is a blackout. Not because I bump into walls and furniture (I do that on a regular basis as I’m a klutz) but because even though I know the power’s out, I still reach for the light switch as I enter a room. I know I’m not the only one that does this, people. We’re just so conditioned to do these things and have taken a lot for granted. Blackouts have always been pleasant in my home though. My brother, parents and I would all gather in the living room with candles and have nothing to do but play board games or tell scary stories. Aaaaaahhhh memories. But we’d never be able to have all that fun without the candles and flashlights that we had handy. Since you never know when a blackout can occur and how long it will last, it’s always good to have a few things handy just in case. Such things include candles, flashlights, batteries, generators and even portable heaters. And where can you get all of these things in one place for a low price? Target of course! Plus, use our free Target coupons to save $5 when you spend $50 or more.

1967 – Beatles Magical Mystery Tour Album Is Released in the UK – The Beatles are just as popular today as they were when they first came out into the limelight. Women may not faint, weep uncontrollably or run after band members today, but people still enjoy all their music. Playing on almost all radio stations, Beatle songs get everyone’s lips moving and heads bobbing. Bring a little sunshine into your life by pumping Beatles tunes. Find their albums for less at Sony Style today. And redeem free Sony Style coupons for a discount on CDs today!

Teri Hatcher, 44 – Yes, I know, 44 seems shocking doesn’t it? She doesn’t look a day over 30!

Okay, so maybe she has lots of money, personal trainers, and makeup artists to help her with looking her finest, but you can look your youngest and feel your best too without breaking the bank. Just shop at Beauty.com today for products like skin-firming lotions, age-defying eye creams, collagen supplements and much more!

National Brownie Day – I’ll never forget how I used to eat these two-bite brownies when I was in high school. Two bite? Sorry I mean one bite. I’d have ‘em for breakfast with milk, as a snack at lunch and as a late night snack. I had ‘em so much that of course like anything I have too much of, I got sick of them. Now, if I pass by them in the grocery store, my stomach turns. Now, if you’re not big on chocolate, then there’s a variation to the brownie called the blondie made with brown sugar and no chocolate. However, I say add some white chocolate chips and you got yourself a delicious sweet white chocolate blondie. If you have any work potlucks or family get-togethers to attend, make it easy on yourself and bake a batch of brownies. Add whatever kind of extras you want, and they’ll be a huge hit (especially if I’m there). If you’re looking for a great recipe or exceptional bakeware, I say you check out Cooking.com.

National Handwashing Awareness Week (7 -13th) – I know what you’re thinking…what a brilliant holiday! I hate when people don’t wash their hands. Except how would I know or not if they wash their hands? Washing your hands is an extremely important activity to do after using the bathroom, touching door handles, shaking people’s hands and so on. We’re in the flu season, and if you find yourself getting sick often, it’s because you’ve probably been walking around aimlessly touching things without washing your hands immediately afterwards. This is the reason for the whole week of awareness. If enough people know about this holiday, I’m sure we’ll be that much healthier! If you’re looking to stock up on soaps and sanitizers that make great stocking stuffers for the holidays, check out Beauty.com. Save $10 on discount L’OCCITANE, Claus Porto and Philosophy liquid hand soaps and lotions on orders of $60 or more when you use Beauty.com coupons.
