Ride the Wind Day - Why do I feel like singing that song “Free Falling” by Tom Petty when I see the title of today’s holiday? I’ll excuse you from my horrible singing and instead get right into Ride the Wind Day. Well, my friends, we’ve got two weekends left of summer ”vacation” (if you want to call it that), and somehow we’re all looking at each other wondering where it all went. So this holiday in a way is telling us to go wherever the wind takes us without worrying about your responsibilities. Since it’s a Saturday, you can take advantage of tons of fun outdoor activities that involve taking a ride on land, air or water. And luckily for you, I’ve got a whole bunch of savings at Orbitz AND Blades.com that you can’t pass up for anything. Hey, you can’t blame me for not living up the rest of your summer!

• Orbitz coupons - book your flight and hotel and get 10% off your discounted hotel stay anywhere in the world
• Blades.com coupons - 20% off discounted extreme sports equipment like inline skates and skateboards

…whichever activity you choose, kick back and allow the wind to be your guide…you won’t regret it!

National Sponge Cake Day - It’s spongy, light, airy and despite the plain taste of it, it’s still a favorite of the young and old alike. Being a baker myself, I have made my fair share of sponge cakes; however, since I have a bit of a sweet tooth (just a little bit), I usually slather the cake in French vanilla or chocolate icing. It gives the cake a depth of flavor that makes it taste so much better. FYI: If you’re unsure about what kind of cake to serve at your next birthday party or get-together, may I suggest a revamped version of the sponge cake? Holddd on a minute, before you grab a pen and paper to take down a foolproof recipe, you should totally hear out my sweet offer first. Ever hear of Bake Me a Wish? Well, they bake delectable classic cakes and 5% of your order goes toward two special charities. This company truly gives new meaning to the saying “You can have your cake and eat it too!”  Check out Bake Me a Wish coupons to take advantage of overnight delivery.

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.

Christmas is over. It felt like you spent days sitting at the table, consuming mountains of food beyond your most fantastical hallucinations. Somewhere in between the appetizers and the main course, you had to loosen your belt one notch.

Then came dessert, and you ate a quarter of your weight in sugary treats, barely coming up for air. Ahh, ’tis the life, indeed! With God as your witness, you will never go hungry again!

Life is too short to treat yourself like you’re in diet boot camp! Indulge - you deserve it. Besides, it’s not like you’re feasting like this every single day. It’s the holidays, and what would a holiday be without tempting and delicious food?

But sometimes we become lazy during this time. The cold weather keeps us indoors, the pumpkin pie in the fridge calls our name at all hours of the night, and people keep giving you holiday snacks, dammit!

Balance your act and devote some time each day to exercise. It could be a brisk walk around the neighborhood block, sweating it out at the gym doing crunches, or getting down on all fours and scrubbing that tub (yes, it is a workout in itself!).

If you’re feeling ambitious, or if it’s on your New Year’s resolution list, take up a new sport like snowboarding, skateboarding, or in-line skating. There’s no better way to get toned while having fun.

And there’s no better place to get your gear than from Blades.com. Stock up on what you need to stay comfortable and perform your best. Don’t forget to use the coupon until January 31 to get 20% off your entire order!

Happy holidays!
