I’ve been a witness to the everyday miracles that musical therapists perform in hospitals. No matter how much pain or sadness the patients feel, a song sung and played by a well-meaning stranger can transcend the effects of medication.

Rock out to heavy metal on your badass electric guitar. Or keep the beat going when you pound those drums. Whatever flavor you prefer, just go with it. Music heals. (Just don’t go too crazy at 3 in the morning, unless you enjoy angry visits from your landlady).

End the 7-year itch, and get your hands on choice acoustic guitars, electric guitars, drum sets, and more when you use the free Instrument Pro coupons. Redeem the FS Exclusive by December 31 for 10% off everything!

And All That Jazz

A rosewood fingerboard combined with a snazzy body equates to a guitar that’s sure to generate a lot of hot fuss. I’m talking, of course, about the Fender Mark Hoppus Jazz Bass. It comes in your choice of blue, white, black, or green.

Just Beat It

Drums tie the entire band together and give it that beat you want to bop your head to. Bring some spice to your songs when you get the Yamaha RC2T50. You’ll love the clear sound that the birch shells produce, and this set offers great set-up versatility.

Music is the life blood. Let it flow. Buy from Instrument Pro today, and play on!

Back in the day, people were a jack of all trades. Not only did they study astronomy and physics, but they dabbled in philosophy, religion, and the fine arts. Today we have our blinders on, and the emphasis in school is always to ‘pick a major’.

I’m a fan of novelty items, so I scoured the site to find the ones I think will appeal to you most:

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

The Buy: Mr. Beer Premium Edition Beer Brewing Kit

Done a fair share of pub hopping in your time? Tired of the same, boring selection at the local liquor store? Wish you could steal Kevin Brauch’s gig in The Thirsty Traveler?

True fans of the classic beverage will love this kit that comes with all the essentials you need to brew and bottle 2 gallons of your own brand of beer! When you hit your stride and formulate your favorite brew, hit up Meijer to get more refill packs to keep churning it out.

Pop It like It’s Hot

The Buy: Nostalgia Electrics Old Fashioned Kettle Popcorn Maker

Unfortunately, I’ve had to sit through some pretty terrible movies, but being able to nibble on fresh buttered popcorn the whole time kept me happy…and quiet (so I couldn’t mumble sarcastic remarks).

This popcorn machine looks just like the carnival variety from the 50s. There’s a stirring system so each kernel will be flavored expertly, and you won’t be stuck with those nasty charred pieces that nobody eats.

Have a look around the Meijer website today, and see what other treasures you can find. You’ll find the perfect for for that special person.

If the holidays re-affirmed anything for me, it’s my love of movies. Over the past few weeks I’ve watched loads; the DVDs in my parents’ collection seem to multiply faster than Brangelina babies. Right now with our Best Buy coupons you can save on the hottest new DVD & Blu-Ray releases. Looks like our collection is about to grow further still….

Here are some of my picks to use your coupons towards:

The Hangover (2009), Rated R

This is definitely a laugh-riot for adults only! Throw in a rowdy bachelor party gone-wrong, Vegas, an all-star cast and a razor-sharp script and you’ve got The Hangover! Heck, even my parents loved this one.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009), Rated PG

Even if you’re not a Potter fan, the visual effects in this movie are sure to please any movie-lover. And if you are a Potter fan, you’ll know this movie is crucial to the plot and is quite possibly the best film in the franchise so far.

17 Again (2009), Rated PG-13

I am not at all ashamed to admit my crush on Zac Efron! He positively dazzles in this movie alongside comedy veterans Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann & Thomas Lennon. This is one both teens & parents to get into.

Yes Man (2009), PG-13

This tale of a man who says ‘yes’ to every opportunity he’s presented with is a real heart-warmer. Funny, poignant and well-cast, the sometimes-annoying Jim Carrey actually delivers a stellar performance – even when he sings!

Use our Best Buy coupons to get your hands on these and other great new releases. Whether you’re back to school or back to work, make sure to make time for some movie magic!

Last week a couple of co-workers and I were chatting with the boss at lunch about Dan Brown’s new book, The Lost Symbol. Have you read it yet? I haven’t, but probably will. How does it compare to Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code?

I’m late to the party, but just recently I got sucked into watching the ongoing drama unfold on old episodes of The Hills. (Spencer’s an anomaly – he appears to have no redeeming qualities to counteract his constant rudeness. And Justin is the good-looking bad boy women want to tame.)

The faced-paced L.A. lifestyle isn’t for everyone. But the fashion is easier to pull off.

Today’s your lucky day because you can snatch up the new LC Lauren Conrad clothing line (available exclusively at Kohl’s) for less. Get 15% off your order with free Kohls coupons until September 23!

Even Picasso Wants to Paint the Town Red

The Star: LC Lauren Conrad Watercolor Ruffled Dress

You’ll love wearing this casual dress with ruffled v-neckline. The artsy floral print comes in your choice of two combos: gray/blue/purple or red/mustard/black. Both look chic with the wide black belt that cinches the waist, creating an hourglass figure.

You Can Never Be Too Rich or Have Too Many Skinny Jeans

The Star: LC Lauren Conrad Skinny Jeans

Lauren Conrad, the guest judge on last week’s episode of America’s Next Top Model, knows that skinny jeans are perfect for wearing with knee-high boots. These have a modern low rise and some stretch for extra comfort. Don’t be surprised if these become your new favorite jeans!

L.A. style doesn’t have to come with L.A. price tags. Shop for the affordable LC Lauren Conrad clothing line exclusively at Kohl’s today!
