November 7th - It was on this day in history in 1942 that bicyclist Fausto Coppi established a world record 45,848 km ride! I look up to those of you who participate in long bike rides for the sake of charities. I have a friend who rode for 6 hours straight to help raise money for cancer research. He was in a bit of pain for a few days afterwards, but it was worth it. The best way to get through this kind of marathon is to train beforehand and to be equipped with an attachment for water bottles to keep hydrated during the race. For all your cycling gear including bikes for many terrains, accessories, helmets and more, head over to Dicks Sporting Goods. Enjoy a 15% discount on your purchase when you redeem exclusive Dicks Sporting Goods coupons, free from FabulousSavings.

Hug-a-Bear Day - AHH, Sometimes we just need a good hug to feel better. When you were a kid, how many times did you squeeze your teddy bear as hard and as tight as you could because you thought it might make all the bad stuff go away? It worked, didn’t it? We all did it, and it may have been a long while since you hugged your teddy this last. Nowadays, you probably squeeze stress balls or box punching bags to release your stress. My, have you gotten so violent! Why not express your frustration in a gentle and sensitive way like giving ol’ Bear Paws, your favorite teddy, a good squeeze? Pat him on the head, and he’ll warm you with his soft plush coat. OK, before I fall asleep for how warm and cozy I feel now just talking about hugging my teddy, today’s holiday is really here to tell you to relax and take it easy, not get so stressed, you know? Rekindle the days when you were a happy-go-lucky kid. On Hug-a-Bear Day, take a whole “you” day with teddy and check out Beauty.com.

National Bittersweet Chocolate and Almonds Day - Man, this is a huge title and worth it too! Now as indulgent as these two snacks enjoy together or on their own, they’re actually pretty good for you. As you know from previous holidays, chocolate comes from the cacao bean which is a vegetable, and almonds contain tons of nutrients and help lower cholesterol levels. My health-conscious friends strictly eat 10 almonds a day to help balance their diet. I’m sorry, this is quite impossible for me to do. Generally, I don’t like to snack because I notice it on my thighs; however, put a bunch of snacks in front of me and I won’t know how to limit myself. Today you could head to your bulk store and stock up for snacking purposes or turn them into toppings on your favorite desserts. Orrrrrrr, you could go with my suggestion by checking out Dale and Thomas Popcorn that combines these two snacks into delectable popcorn flavors. Save 15% on discount Dark Fudge and Praline Almonds, Almond Biscotti and Chocolate Chunk ‘n’ Caramel flavored popcorn gifts on orders of $85 or more when you use Dale and Thomas Popcorn coupons.

November 3rd - It was on this day in history in 1956 that The Wizard of Oz was shown on TV for the first time. Although today I really like this movie, as a child it terrified me. Those evil, talking trees gave me the heebie jeebies. And the Wicked Witch sent chills down my spine, especially her hackling laugh. I was always glad though that it turned out to be a nightmare. My favorite part of the movie was Dorothy’s ruby-red shoes! I loved them so much that my mother bought me a pair just like them. The shoe fetish has stuck me until this day…my closet is stocked with tons of shoes. I love stilettos, knee-high boots, sandals, clogs & more. But I’m not rich, so I shop at Smart Bargains where all types for shoes are on sale for less. Plus, with exclusive Smart Bargains coupons, save 10% on your purchase!

1968 - Kathy Witworth Wins LPGA Canyon Ladies Golf Classic - Way to go, Kathy! Golf is an extremely tough sport that requires a lot of patience and skill. I think putting is the most challenging aspect of this sport as you have to read the green and putt the ball accordingly, whether it be an attempt to make it go long or short, or curve slightly at the end…wow! So, if you’re an avid golfer, be sure to get performance-oriented equipment that helps improve accuracy and much more. Head over to Dicks Sporting Goods for discounted golf equipment, apparel, accessories and more! Be sure to redeem free Dicks Sporting Goods coupons to save 15% on your purchase!

October 29th - It was on this day in history that the first ball-point pen went on sale 50 years after it was patented. I consider myself a little bit of a stationery junky.

Winona Ryder, 37 - What a great actress. But most importantly, what great skin! Her soft, smooth skin makes her look like a porcelain doll. I’m sure her high cheekbones, big almond-shaped eyes and pouting mouth may also contribute to her doll-like look. Sure, she was born that way, but you can get this look too with a few items from Beauty.com. Use Beauty.com coupons to save $10 on these items when you spend $60 or more:

There, now you’re organized with stationery and even more gorgeous!

Hermit Day - This is my day to celebrate! I am the biggest hermit you’ll ever meet, largely because of the zodiac sign my birthday falls into. Nonetheless, every day is Hermit Day so it’s an easy laidback day for me to do nothing different…finally! If you’re an outgoing person who loves attention, big crowds and noise, then today may be a challenge for you. However, maybe if you see how relaxing and tempting it is to be all by yourself for a day (no cell phone, no interruptions, just the serenity of your own surroundings), you’ll be sure to change your mind. Speaking from a hermit’s perspective, being a hermit requires you to be secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of anything distracting like entertainment and the night life scene. If this sounds out of the ordinary for you, then try it for at least one day. It would be beneficial for you to take some alone time and do some deep thinking about yourself! When you’re all finished, check out Beauty.com to pamper yourself some more. Save $10 on Elizabeth Arden skincare and cosmetics and Calvin Klein fragrances on orders of $60 or more when you use Beauty.com coupons.

Internet Day - We all use it and we’ve become so dependent on that it’s impossible to imagine our lives without this amazing tool. It’s no wonder this invention took so long to perfect and master! There’s not one business or company I can name that doesn’t use the Internet for its business affairs and marketing its products and services. Nowadays we can go online just about everywhere using just about anything including our cellular phones. Nonetheless, it’s pretty cool that this form of technology has made such huge impacts on our culture and affects our lives every day. Since the Internet is like the centre of everything we know, I thought I would list all the things we wouldn’t have without the Internet - ecommerce, email, instant messaging, social networking websites, online shopping and, um, my blog! That’s right, if we didn’t have Internet, there wouldn’t be a blog and how would you ever get by not knowing the holidays and deals of the day? So today on Internet Day, I say you check out Lenovo. Receive free standard shipping and handling on a discount Lenovo ThinkPad, IdeaPad and more computers and laptops when you use Lenovo coupons.

October 27th - “E.T phone hooooome.” It was on this day in history in 1988 that E.T was first sold on video. There were over 14 million pre-sold copies before it was even released! I loved that movie. I’d watch it over and over again. Especially the part when Drew Barrymore discovers E.T. in her brother’s room and screams at the top of her lungs.  E.T. responds with the same high-pitched scream creating one of the most chaotic, funniest movie scenes I’ve ever watched.  Another part I love is when E.T. discovers his love for Reese’s Pieces.  He really loved his food! So, as a tribute to the cutest alien ever, I suggest you make it a movie night with the family.  But, you can’t pop just any old popcorn, you know. E.T. would put all his favorite toppings on popcorn before he took a handful. So, head over to Dale and Thomas Popcorn for an array of popcorn choices. Discover white-cheddar cheese flavored popcorn, peanut-butter & chocolate drizzle corn and much more! Plus, use our exclusive Dale and Thomas Popcorn coupons for 15% off orders of $85 or more.  

Famous Birthday

Kelly Osbourne, 24 - I love that she changes her look so frequently. So far, I like the way she looks with black hair the best. Her big almond-shaped eyes, puffy lips and high cheekbones give her a distinctive look.  And she plays these features very well with dark black liners for her eyes and pale pinks for her lips. She also uses a pale, peachy blush that gives her face a faded hue, making her glow. Mimic Kelly’s famous look by shopping at Beauty.com for liquid liners, lip glosses & blushes for less. Redeem our free Beauty.com coupons for $10 off when you spend $60 or more!

October 23rd - It was on this day in history in 1814 that the 1st plastic surgery was performed. I can’t help but think of the TV show Vanity Insanity. There are some people who’ve had over 50 plastic surgeries performed on them! Now, although I’m shocked at this number, I can understand why some people attempt to stay young-looking for as long as possible. But there are ways you can prolong a youthful look that’s wrinkle-free and radiant without breaking the bank. In your daily routine, include a soft facial scrub to oxygenate your skin, then apply night creams that smooth out wrinkles.  There are even ointments that can be applied around your eyes and mouth where wrinkles are most prominent. And such products can be found online for a lot less than you think. Head over to Beauty.com for anti-aging creams and more. Use our free Beauty.com coupons to save $10 when you spend $60 or more!

1941 - Walt Disney’s Dumbo Is Released - I love this movie! It teaches children so many things about morals, courage and never giving up. Poor Jumbo Jr. is nicknamed Dumbo because his ears are big. But he soon realizes that his ears can make him fly! And although his mother is also his closest friend, his best friend is a mouse - this teaches children not to buy into all the stereotypes that surround us (there is a stereotype that elephants are deathly afraid of mice). Plus, it also teaches children that there is a purpose for everything. Although Dumbo’s ears seem like a curse to him, they’re actually a blessing. Like I said, this movie is full of great teachings for the little guys. For fun activities that teach children these simple ideas and much more, head over to Magazines.com.  Discover the great magazine Highlights for kids! Use our free Magazines.com coupons to save $5 on your subscription to the Highlight mag for your child!

Weird Al Yankovic, 49 - He’s weird, alright!  But believe it or not, it’s hard not to laugh at his weirdness. Some people may disagree, but his humor is the kind you don’t have to think too hard to get, making it so appealing. Whether he’s making fun of a celebrity or a new hit song, it’s always hilarious. If you could listen to Weird Al whenever you wanted, Monday mornings would be so much easier. You’d be walking into the office giggling while others are still yawning and grunting moody good mornings. So, to get a dose of Al whenever you want, subscribe to Sirius Satellite Radio. The commercial-free comedy station has him on all the time! Use our free Sirius Satellite Radio coupons for 15% off. Enjoy commercial-free music, sports and comedy channels in your home and car for less!

October 2nd - It was on this say in history in 1890 that Yosemite National Park was created.  If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, then you MUST visit this park very soon. Stay on a campground and enjoy the fresh air and greenery. Go for a hike in the full and luscious forests surrounding you. Are you a climber?

1962 - Johnny Carson Named Host of The Tonight Show - I dunno about you, but I can never stay up late enough to watch these shows. I pick up a book and intend to read it before bed and fall asleep before I even get through the first paragraph. However, that may be because I take a hot bath before bed…with lavender body wash and bubbles…lavender can make me reeeeally sleepy.  Couple the hot bath with the cup of chamomile tea I drink…no wonder I can’t keep my eyes open! Regardless, I ALWAYS wake up feeling rested and fresh. You should try my technique; you’ll feel like a million bucks every morning…even though you’ll miss The Tonight Show.  Head over to Beauty.com for lavish lavender bath products. Save 10% when you spend $60 or more by redeeming exclusive Beauty.com coupons.

National Mud Pack Day - Pre-spa days, mud pack facials were really popular. They are the most traditional and earthly way to cleanse your face. If you’ve ever wondered if there was actually mud in a mud pack facial, then the answer is yes. The natural ingredients give a healthy and tightened appearance. Remember the Julia Roberts romantic comedy My Best Friend’s Wedding? The funniest (and scariest) part is when she falls asleep with a mud mask on and it gets stuck on her face. Ouch! I can’t imagine that ever happening to me. I have no experience with mud pack facials; however, I have had a facial before and I can’t say that it was the greatest experience. I couldn’t breathe half the time and the rest of the time I felt like each layer of my skin was peeling off. Nonetheless, my face did come out looking the best it ever did, so it was worth the pain! The things people go through for beauty, huh? Well, since today is all about ways to make our skin look beautiful and rejuvenated, I say you check out Beauty.com. Save $10 on discount beauty skin care products and regimes using Beauty.com coupons on orders of $60 or more.

National Hot Mulled Cider Day - Mmmm…Hot mulled cider reminds me of cold weather. Now that the weather is getting colder, we’re finding ways to keep ourselves warm and comforted so that we don’t get sick. Since I’ve been talking about fall for a while now, it’s no wonder that the creators of this holiday want to get us ready for the season by introducing and reconnecting us with fall time foods and drinks. When I was younger, this time every year, I’d go to the farm with my family and we would pick apples, pumpkins, take hay rides and drink cider to warm up. To me cider is ”fall in a cup.” If you’ve never tried it, you’re truly missing out! It’s sweet, thick and soothing all in one cup. I don’t know about you, whenever I hear this I want to curl up under a blanket, pop in a movie and drink a steaming cup of this special drink. So today if you’re feeling under the weather, home sick or just in the mood to do nothing and cozy up to a good book, then head to Designer Linens Outlet for the perfect blanket. Save 10% on discount Cottage Laundry or Nautica throws, quilts and bedding when you use Designer Linens Outlet coupons.
