National Columnists Day - Is the highlight of your morning waking up to your preferred newspaper or magazine and reading articles by your favorite columnists? When you find a columnist you identify with, it’s like discovering a new friend. The best columnists inform, advise us, and sometimes bring a smile to our faces. I’ve got a collection of magazines featuring my favorite columnists that I can’t wait to read this upcoming long weekend.

Use Magazines.com coupons and take $5 off the subscription price!

Swim a Lap Day - Come summertime there’s no one I envy more than those lucky folks with outdoor swimming pools. On those hot, humid days, it’s all I can do to restrain myself from jumping into the nearest neighbor’s pool. This year, I swear I’m going to invest in one, even if it’s just a Mr. Turtle Pool! No matter what size pool you dive into today, make sure you hit Sierra Trading Post for your swimwear first.

National Pink Day - Call me girly, but I love the color pink. Pink shirts or sweaters complement just about any skin or hair color, and these days even guys can get in on the pink shirt action. And for those men who refuse to think pink, women love guys who are secure enough in their masculinity to don this pretty shade. Check out Bluefly and discover the selection of pink clothing, including men’s pink Zegna oxford shirts and women’s pink Revolver v-neck empire tops on sale. New customers take 10% off orders of $100 or more with Bluefly coupons!

Descendants Day - If you’ve ever traced your family tree, you probably found it interesting to discover how you got to where you are now. Every family has their own unique story to tell. One of my relatives did some genealogical research a few years ago, and I later planned a trip around the places my ancestors came from. Whether you’re interested in literally tracing your forefathers’ footsteps, or just need a little R and R, visit Orbitz before you book your next trip. Discover cheap hotels for your dream vacation and use Orbitz coupons to save 10% on your hotel stay!

Stupid Guy Thing Day - Sorry guys, but it’s a fact of life that some of the best girl-bonding time is spent venting about stupid guy things. It’s just something we do to voice our frustrations while shopping for shoes together. But, while sharing laughs with our best gal-pals (and racking up our credit cards) we also gloat about all the sweet and funny things guys do. Be a smart guy and order her some chocolate-covered Pop Butter Crunch popcorn from Dale and Thomas Popcorn, just because. Use free Dale and Thomas Popcorn coupons to take $15 off orders of $85 or more.

Vinegar Day- I’m a huge advocate of vinegar: believe it or not, it has several useful purposes. Not only does a honking huge $2 bottle of this strong-smelling stuff kill weeds, clean glass & deodorize your bathroom - you’re also doing your part to help save the environment. That’s right - vinegar is the best all-natural home, laundry & cleaning remedy known to man (well, known to me, at least)! It also makes a tasty condiment for fish & chips. Once your place is spic n’ span from the inside out, head to Plow and Hearth for discount bathroom accessories and garden accents to beautify any home. Take advantage of free Plow and Hearth coupons and get 10% off your purchase.

Go Skateboarding Day - Deep down, we all long to be one of the cool skateboarding kids. If you’re more brave and less of a klutz than I am, check out some great starter or professional skateboards from Blades.com. You’ll find an amazing selection of Kryptonics Logo and World Industries skateboards on sale so you can perfect all your moves. Use Blades.com coupons and save 20% on your order.

Take Your Dog to Work Day- Judging by all the doggie outfits and accessories out there, dogs are people too. Since we have Bring Your Kids to Work days, it’s only fair that Fido gets his turn. Today’s the day to bring your furry friend to the place that enables Mommy or Daddy to bring home the doggie treats. If your dog’s super hyper around new people in a different environment, you may have to bribe him or her with some goodies from PetCareRX. Ensure doggie’s best behavior with inexpensive liver biscotti dog treats or all-natural beef cuisine chew sticks. Use PetCareRX coupons to save $15 on purchases of $100 or more.

World Sauntering Day - I saw a cute commercial on TV recently that I’m sure many women can relate to. It features average-Jane types dressed in inexpensive clothing, sauntering around like supermodels while feeding their kids, taking out the trash, etc. We all like to feel glamorous from time to time, and there’s no better way to do it than to strut in a pair of great-looking shoes. At Onlineshoes, you’ll have no problem finding sassy and stylish shoes. Use free Onlineshoes coupons and pick up a pair of discount women’s Guess sandals or men’s Kenneth Cole dress shoes and take 10% off your purchase.

Recess at Work Day - I have both good and bad memories of recess during my school days. It was always fun running around playing hide and seek with my little posse of friends. The bad part was when the older kids stole the raisin boxes my mom would pack for my recess snacks. Hopefully, you don’t work with any bullies and can eat your snacks in peace during work recess today. Stay on the healthy track and visit GNC for high protein meal replacement shakes on sale and choose from delicious vanilla or chocolate flavors. Use GNC coupons to save 10%!

Go Fishing Day - I’ve only ever gone fishing once, but I still remember the tranquil feel of sitting on the river’s edge with my cheap plastic fishing rod at sunrise. My younger brother and I were like characters from a Mark Twain book that day, with our packed picnic lunch and can of worms. We didn’t catch anything, but the experience was a great one. Increase your chances of bringing home some fish for dinner by visiting West Marine for discount rod and reel combinations and inexpensive tackle boxes and lures. Use free West Marine coupons and receive 12% off orders of $100 or more.

National Splurge Day - Now this is my kind of holiday! Not that I need an excuse to spend cash, but at least I can feel less guilty in the process. The one thing everyone should splurge on at least once is a few nice pieces of jewelry. Head to Ross-Simons for unique fine vintage jewels and certified diamond rings on sale. Take advantage of Ross-Simons coupons and save 20% plus get free shipping on your order!

Eat Your Vegetables Day - I went through the whole stubborn stage of dissing vegetables as a kid. My parents had to practically bribe me to eat anything even remotely vegetable-like. It might have something to do with how boring the food was - boiled potatoes with no butter, plain carrots and green beans that were always slightly over-cooked and mushy. Nowadays I love my veggies - especially grilled with a little olive oil and a dash of herbs to spice them up! There’s nothing better than fresh garden vegetables at this time of the year. Head over to Park Seed and order a variety of delicious vegetable and herb seeds on sale to plant in your backyard. Take advantage of free Park Seed coupons and save 10% on your purchase!

Fudge Day - Every summer I look forward to the Canadian National Exhibition (otherwise known as the CNE) that takes place here each August. Not because of the rides, or the numerous events that occur for two fun-filled weeks. No, I start anticipating the delicious bags of fudge sold in the food tent each year! My biggest decision is choosing which flavors I’ll spend my day indulging in. I usually splurge on a slab each of maple walnut and rocky road chocolate fudge. There’s no need to wait for annual events to enjoy this sweet snack. Visit Cooking.com and pick up a low-priced set of Calphalon non-stick bake-ware. Use free Cooking.com coupons and take 10% off!

Whether you’re a last-minute shopper or you like to buy gifts months in advance, head to RazorGator and surprise Dad with upcoming sports or concert tickets on sale.

Nature Photography Day - June is the perfect month to enjoy nature at its best - flowers are in full bloom, bees are pollinating, and the birds are singing.
