Cosmopolite’s Day - When I think of a true Cosmopolite, I think of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. I know, I know, I talk about this show way too much for my own good; however, on today’s holiday, it’s kind of hard not to. Cosmopolite’s Day encourages us to shop till we drop at our favorite stores. It’s a day to indulge in everything your city has to offer. This past weekend, I went to my favorite mall and the parking lot alone looked like it was the holiday season. There were cars parked in the most unusual places, and there were cops directing traffic. That was before I got INTO the mall. What I saw inside were crowds and flocks of people, nowhere to walk and line ups that went on for miles. With this being said, I walked in, looked around and went home in a matter of a half hour. You know what would’ve been so much easier and cheaper? Shopping online in the comfort of my own home! So, today on Cosmopolite’s Day, yes it is a day to shop till we drop; however, do it from home so you don’t have to wait in line or deal with annoying salespeople! Head over to Boden.

National Kick Butt Day - HIYAAA! No, I’m not saying “hi ya!” I’m saying HIYA, the karate term for kicking butt! Today is such an empowering day to do some ultimate butt kicking in every aspect of your life, whether that be work, school or at the gym. This holiday also has some significance to kicking the “butt” known as your cigarette. In other words, it’s a day to at least ATTEMPT to stop smoking. I know, I know, you’ve heard it all before, what’s going to make you change your mind today? Well, nothing, except the fact that you’re going against the holy holiday rule book known as Silly Holidays. How can you not take advice from the inventors of today’s holiday? Imagine how much better you’ll feel when you kick a bad habit! You’ll be able to kick butt every day, not just today. For National Kick Butt Day, I suggest you do something that’ll give you energy to tackle the most challenging habits to get over in your day-to-day life. Check out GNC - your one stop shop for everything you need to feel pumped up! Save 10% on discount nutritional supplements, vitamins and energy drinks and bars when you use GNC coupons.

National Night Out Day - I’m excited for this one, except I’d like to believe I always encourage my readers to get out and have a good time! A typical night out for me is having dinner or dessert at a hip and happening restaurant in the downtown core. Trust me, as cool as I may sound (aww thanks, you think so too?!), a guaranteed fun night for me is sticking to what I’m comfortable with. Every time I try a new place or want to get out of my comfort zone, I get totally disappointed and ripped off. You should do whatever YOU love to do most on this national holiday. Inviting a bunch of friends over won’t cut it. You could go to a friend’s house, just as long as you GET OUT of your house - it’s called National NIGHT OUT for a reason. What’s a typical night out for you? Movies, dinner, dancing, concert, shopping, all of the above? Whatever you do tonight, you should get all dolled up (that’s my favorite part!). Go get yourself some new attire from Boden. Save 12% on discount men’s and women’s trendy apparel and receive free shipping and returns (new customers only) just by using Boden coupons.

Psychic Day - I love the topic of psychics. I can’t really tell you why, it just intrigues me so much. I have never had a psychic reading done before even though I really want one. I guess I’m just too apprehensive about knowing the future. Sometimes I like to believe I have psychic abilities, like dreaming about something and then seeing or hearing about it actually happen. Cool eh? I also share a mental telepathy relationship with other people, like friends and family, especially my mom and best friend. My mom could be thinking about something, and then I’ll end up saying it out loud! I’m especially good at knowing when the phone is going to ring. I bet this has happened to you before! What’s that you say? You can’t find an affordable phone service? Well…since we’re on the topic of telephones, have you checked out Hello Direct recently? If you’re looking for reliable telephony solutions, use Hello Direct coupons and save 10% on discount brand name telephony from AT&T, Nortel, Panasonic and more!

Culinarian’s Day - Let’s just say I watch the Food Network religiously. Not because I intend on replicating the dishes and recipes. I just really enjoy watching people cook and create amazing, delectable meals! Do you know a culinary master who’s always looking for new and reinvented recipes? Or, are you trying to get your spouse or partner to learn how to cook more extravagant meals? Then, give them a gift you know they’ll appreciate, and you will too since you’ll be benefitting from all the delicious food they’ll be cooking! And no, this isn’t one of those situations when a husband gets his wife a vacuum cleaner for her birthday because he knows how much time she spends “cleaning” and how much she really enjoys it! My suggestion is a little nicer - cooking and food magazines from Magazines.com! Save $5 on discounted food and cooking magazine subscriptions when you devour Magazines.com coupons!

Threading the Needle Day - How many ways can you interpret this holiday? Well, I’m going to talk about it in at least three ways, and they all seem to have a common underlying theme. First thing that comes to mind is the saying “threading a needle” in a situation that proves to be tricky or impossible. Carrying on with the same theme of difficulty, only master sewers (and myself) can thread the tiniest hole in a needle. This is also complicated, especially if your palms sweat and your hands shake! And, the last and most recent use of the word “threads” refers to clothes. It’s a modern hip word used by young people. Wondering what’s so complex about “threads?” Well, choosing what “threads” you’re going to buy from Boden is going to be one concentrated and mindful task! Save 12% on discount men’s, women’s and children’s stylish threads and receive free shipping and returns on new customer orders when you use Boden coupons!

Blame Someone Else Day - At times I wish I was back in grade school when I could easily blame some innocent kid when things went awry. As a teenager, I blamed my parents for my issues, but I now try to take responsibility for myself. If you’re like me, you’ll feel too guilty to imply others when problems arise. But if you absolutely have to blame someone, at least make up for it in some small way.

Sewing Machine Day - I shudder to think how fashion would look if it weren’t for this amazing invention. Imagine being subjected to animal skins and furs, circa the cave days. Then people like Slatey London and Clinrock Kelly would have to criticize us for having too many spots on our leopard coats, or chastise those wearing last season’s loincloths. Luckily for us, there are plenty of talented sewers out there creating fabulous clothing for all. Check out Boden for a terrific example of low-priced men’s, women’s and children’s fashions. New customers, use free Boden coupons to receive 12% off and free shipping!
