August 29th - It was on this day in history in 1964 that Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins was released. I give it credit for my very active imagination today. Scenes like the one when Mary Poppins and the children jumped into a painting that they liked are amazing ways to get kids to imagine. It lets kids know that their minds are limitless and anything is possible. However, my very favorite scene is when Mary Poppins arrives in her room and begins unpacking. She has a carry-on type bag with her and starts pulling out clothes…knick knacks and…FURNITURE! The kids just watched her in amazement. Then she pulls out this loooooong standing lamp. Genius! Since this is my favorite part of the movie, I’m thinking a coupon for large bags and purses would fit. For large and stylish bags that you can literally carry your house in, head over to Avenue. Discover designer handbags and save 15% with exclusive Avenue coupons.

1968 - First U.S. Open Tennis Match - I used to think tennis was an easy sport, until I played it. I was so sore the next day…muscles that I didn’t even know existed ached with a vengeance. It’s a tough game that demands skill and endurance. I learned my lesson in assuming it was easy, that’s for sure. However, even though most of my body cried out in pain, my feet felt fine! I realized right away that it was because I was wearing New Balance tennis shoes. It helps when you’re wearing performance-oriented gear. And there’s a store that offers THE BEST tennis shoes, apparel, rackets and equipment in the universe: Dicks Sporting Goods.

August 28th - Well, well, well…it looks like there’ll be a few birthday bashes goin’ on tonight. There were quite a few celebrities born today. But before we mention them, let’s get a little history lesson in for the day, shall we?

1884 - 1st Known Photograph of Tornado Is Made - I’m always fascinated by the fury of nature. I’ve never been face to face with anything like a tornado before though. Hey, I live in Canada, the only thing nature unleashes on me is the bitter cold for about 4 months outta the year.  Snapshots or paintings of nature in action can bring excitement, calm or intrigue into a room or office. Let’s take a painting of huge foamy waves crashing against a jagged, rocky cliff for example…to me, that kind of image makes me feel powerful and creative. It would be the perfect piece for a boardroom where meetings are held. But it could make you feel a totally different thing. So, bring some emotion evoked by nature into your home or office with nature paintings from Art Select. Discover breathtaking nature posters, prints & paintings for 15% off when you redeem exclusive Art Select coupons.

August 25th - It was on this day in history that the first U.S. woman won in the Olympics. Ethelda Bleibtrey was a U.S. swimmer who won 3 gold medals at the Olympics in 1920. Watching the Olympics this year, I was blown away by the strength, endurance and determination of all the athletes.

Famous Birthday

Howie Dorough, 34 - He’s one of the singers from the Backstreet Boys…but he’s not one of the really popular ones. The thing with boy bands is that there’s one or two members that always stick out more than the rest. In videos and album covers, they’re usually in plain view and the rest of the members are kinda faded into the background. Sadly, I think Howie is one of the background guys. But hey, on the bright side, he does have amazing skin and hair! So when he does get a rare close up, he always looks very handsome. If you want baby smooth skin like Howie with dark rich hair, head over to ZIRH for men’s beauty products. Save 16% by redeeming ZIRH coupons when you spend $20 or more.

Senior Citizen’s Day - This is a day to honor and respect everything that senior citizens have accomplished throughout their lifetimes, whether that be war, famine, financial instability or losing loved ones. I do really love spending time with the elderly. They’re fun, witty and full of knowledge and stories. When my grandfather was alive, I could sit there for hours and listen to stories of when he was growing up and I wouldn’t get bored. It just dawned on me that one day we too are going to be senior citizens. Although sometimes I already think I’m a senior citizen because I go to sleep early, experience back pain, stuff kleenex in my sleeves when I’m sick and take slow walks around my neighborhood. I say you hang out with your favorite senior citizen today and put a smile on their face by just keeping them company. You should also tell them about Drugstore.com. This is a great tool for the elderly who can order their prescriptions and refills online when they run out. Do a good deed and check out Drugstore.com coupons to help them get $10 off discounted online prescription and refill orders of $50 or more.

Distilled Water Day - What kind of water are you drinking? Distilled water is “pure” water since all of its impurities are removed through the process of distillation. I don’t know what all the fuss about water is. In my opinion, water is water. We all need it! Back then, did people have all these fancy types of water that we have today? No, they drank what was available to them. Here’s a little story: I watched an episode of Penn and Teller once and they filled a bunch of bottles with garden hose water, put a fancy label stating it was from the French Alps and charged people $20 plus per bottle of water in a chic restaurant. Number 1, people actually bought the bottle of water and number 2, claimed it “tasted amazing.” That goes to show, not everything that glitters is gold people! If you want to know more about the water issue or you’re in need of supplying your home or business with bottled water services, check out Water.com for genuine water, without the gimmicks. Apply Water.com coupons to save 10% on discount bottled water delivery for the home and office.

Lots of trends come and go with the seasons - trucker hats, skinny jeans, and neon nail polish are just a few that first come to mind. And we’ve all fallen prey to some pretty bad fads that we may not want to admit. (Anyone who lived through the 1980s can vouch for that.)

But when it comes to a clear complexion, that’s always on the top of everyone’s wish list. And getting beautiful skin is easier with GreatSkin products. Plus, until September 30, you’ll enjoy free shipping & $35 off orders of $200 or more with complimentary GreatSkin coupons!

August 18th - It was on this day in history in 1967 that the Rolling Stones released the song We Love You.  Mick Jagger was quite the looker back then, but now he’s kinda scary looking. I don’t know if it’s because he stayed up way too late for many nights in his lifetime, or that he just doesn’t age nicely. If he used skincare products from Zirh for men throughout the years, he’d look years younger today. Head over there now and save 16% with Zirh coupons when you spend $20 or more.

1988 - Largest House with 130 Rooms Sold for $22 Million - That was my house!  It was…in my dream last night. I used to think about how nice a bigger house would be, but I’m not too sure I care for one so much anymore.  That’s just way too many rooms to furnish. Although, it wouldn’t be too expensive if I were to shop at Overstock.com. For low-priced furniture & home decor, use Overstock.com coupons and save $10 when you spend $150 or more.

Famous Birthday

Denis Leary, 51 - If you ever need a good laugh, Denis Leary is the best medicine for ya. He shoots out jokes effortlessly causing a ripple effect of laughter in the audience.  He’s also a movie star, writer and director. Recently, he was the voice of Diego, the sabre tooth tiger on Ice Age. I couldn’t think of a better voice match for that character. Both children and adults can enjoy Diego’s dark humor in this movie. Make it a movie night by heading over to Target for low-priced DVD movies. Be sure to redeem our free Target coupons for a $5 discount when you spend $50 or more.

National Relaxation Day - Well my friends, it’s Friday and it seems that the cosmos are finally on our side because it’s National Relaxation Day, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. My idea of relaxation involves staying away from any strenuous activities and wearing my pajamas all day long. If I could I’d take it one step further and stay in bed all day. You work and work all week and long for that extra hour of sleep in the morning. You deserve to take the weekend to sleep in, watch movies in bed and pig out. It’s the cheapest way to spend your weekend and it sounds like a plan for me! Come to think of it, my bed is awfully uncomfortable lately and part of the reason is because I need new bedding and have been too lazy (of course) to do anything about it. Well, enough is enough. I want to kick start my relaxing weekend on a good note, which means I need comfortable bedding. If you find yourself in the same situation, then head over to Smart Bargains right now. Save 10% on discount cotton, satin and flannel bedding when you use Smart Bargains coupons.

National Men’s Grooming Day - Boys AND girls - listen up! I know you have been making an effort in the past few years in the looks and hygiene department. So, we all salute you for that. Except, I can’t see why guys get a bad rap on grooming. Some girls out there are just as bad! However, that’s not the point I’m trying to make today. In my opinion, we should all embrace the saying “It’s not all about the looks.” When it comes to grooming, you can’t really blame a guy, or anyone for that matter, on how they choose to present themselves. This may be true, yet it doesn’t mean you’re excused from other rules, like not washing your face for days because you think it’ll ruin the “natural glow” of your face. That’s just wrong and gross! On this National (men’s) Grooming Day, I’m going to suggest you check out ZIRH. Go ahead and save 16% on discount men’s skincare, body washes and hair styling products on orders of $20 or more just by using ZIRH coupons.

August 15th - It was on this day in history in 1848 that the dental chair was patented.  I hated that chair as a child…I feared it like a convict fears the electrical chair. I guess the idea was to create something more comfortable for people to sit in while they get their teeth pulled out or drilled…how nice. But there is one thing I fear more than the dental chair, and that’s not having dental insurance. For an alternative to dental insurance, use our free DentalPlans.com coupons to save on specific dental services. These coupons for DentalPlans.com save you 10 - 60% on most dental services!

All you have to do is pick the coupons you love and save. This classic film is as popular today as it was when it first premiered. There are games, collectibles, figurines, enhanced DVD editions, costumes and much more. You can find all these fun items for less at Target.

Joe Jonas, 19 - Ouch! I can hear your high-pitched scream from here. Yes, he’s a sight for sore eyes but so is a puppy dog. If you’re hot for the Jonas Brothers, then head over Sony Style where you’ll find CDs for less. Enjoy a discount by using free Sony Style coupons to get CDs and music for less.

Assistance Dog Day - Today is just one more reason to celebrate how truly special dogs are! Aren’t you amazed when you see dogs assisting people with disabilities or working for the police? Besides being a person of disability, a dog is the best companion you’ll ever have because they’re attentive, good listeners, bundles of fun and will never fight with you! Now that’s what I call a great friend. We should all remember how much dogs do for us and for members in our community. So, instead of neglecting and mistreating our dogs, I believe we must be able to assist and help our own dogs when they’re not feeling their greatest. On this Assistance Dog Day, we should honor and commend all those brave dogs who guide people through life and come to our rescue. And, we should also shop at PetCareRX for all of our dog and pet needs. Use PetCareRX coupons and save $15 on discount pet medications, vaccines, pet supplies and more on orders of $100 or more.

National Navajo Code Talking Day - Navajo code talkers played a huge role in WWII and helped to defeat the Japanese thereby ending WWII. This was the only code that the Japanese could not decipher. If you didn’t know, Navajo is a Native American language still used on the reservations in Southwestern United States. It is the oldest preserved Athabaskan language and is a tonal language which means that depending on how the vowels are pronounced, the meaning changes. Come to think of it, I used to speak in code with my friends so that our parents wouldn’t understand us (it wasn’t that long ago actually…). Languages have always fascinated me, and when I was younger, I wanted to be a professional interpreter (no joke). Today, we should use the theme of language and check out Rosetta Stone so you can learn a new language and speak in “code.” Get 2 free day shipping in the U.S. when you use Rosetta Stone coupons.
