Haunted Refrigerator Day - Well, isn’t this an appropriate holiday to celebrate the day before Halloween? I tell ya, people will do anything to get a good scare. I’m not complaining. Once a year, I can appreciate a scare. Only once a year though! I’m a big scaredy cat. Growing up I used to think my house was haunted because the floors and my refrigerator would make squeaky and rumbling noises at all hours of the night. Well, that’s until we got a new refrigerator and the noises stopped. So, I’m pretty sure my refrigerator was suffering from old age! I don’t know what it is with haunted appliances that is so popular. Remember in Home Alone, Kevin was horrified of the washing machine? Since I used to believe any and everything I would watch when I was little, I believed that my laundry room was haunted as well and would try to avoid my basement as much as possible. Today on Haunted Refrigerator Day, perhaps you could see if you need an upgrade on your refrigerator and the best place to do that is at Overstock. Save $5 on discount LG refrigerators on orders of $100 or more when you use Overstock coupons.

National Candy Corn Day - Candy corn is such a popular Halloween candy…then again, all candy is popular at Halloween! As you know, I watch the Food Network and I love seeing how things are made. The most interesting to me is candy. The way candy makers melt it in a huge pot, form it and then hardens is so cool! Every Halloween I tend to get a bit nostalgic and start reminiscing about things I used to do as a kid on Halloween. Eating candy of course was one of them; however, I always knew how to limit myself. Want to know why? Well, because I had to save room for chocolate, of course! I am a chocoholic. However, since it’s National Candy Corn Day and not National Chocolate Day, I suggest we stick to indulging in everything candy today. I’m sure you’re giving out candy corn tomorrow night to all the trick-or-treaters. Don’t forget to save some for yourself! Make sure you check out Drugstore.com after to get your teeth in pre-Halloween condition, you know, before you rotted them. Save $10 on discount tooth care, toothbrushes and personal care on orders of $50 or more when you use Drugstore.com coupons.

Grover’s Birthday - I’ll just start of by saying that Sesame Street was and is the best kids show in the world. Educational, funny, cute and it never gets old, I don’t care how old you are! And best of all, we were introduced to the monster of honor in today’s holiday/birthday, Grover. If you don’t remember all the Muppets (there were many) by name, perhaps you remember them if you saw them. Grover was the blue, lanky Muppet with a rosy nose and straight-lined mouth. Unlike Oscar the Grouch, Grover was very sweet, lovable and furry. He was polite and inquisitive about everything which led him on many expeditions. Grover first appeared on the show in 1970! WOW. So are you wondering how old he is today then? It seems to me these Muppets are immortal because they never AGE! I wonder what their secret is. Well, I’m pretty sure they all shop at Drugstore.com. Look just as youthful as the Muppets and save $10 on discount skin care, hair care, vitamins and more on orders of $50 or more when you use Drugstore.com coupons. See, their lessons never get old!

National Dessert Day - I know what you’re thinking…another day to eat sweets right? I love desserts and sweets and I could eat them all day long if I could; however, I know how to control myself so I know when too much is enough! Now we’re getting into the stretch of dessert devouring, and I think you all should be prepared. Halloween is coming up and that means you’ll be snacking and eating chocolate whenever it’s in sight. Next is Thanksgiving, and you know what that means: tons of apple and pumpkin pie (with whipped cream), cheesecake and so much more. It’s making me depressed just thinking about it. I may have convinced you NOT to eat dessert on National Dessert Day. Maybe you can do a something a bit different. Join a gym before all the dessert craziness starts, and by the time you feel tempted to indulge any and everything in sight, you know how hard you worked and will limit yourself. In the meantime, get some cool workout gear from Finish Line. Save $20 on Adidas, Nike and Reebok sportswear, fitness gear and footwear on orders of $120 or more when you use Finish Line coupons.

Famous Birthday

Ashlee Simpson, 24 - Her long blond, black, or red locks…no matter what color they are….are always shiny and luscious. Her puffy lips glisten with luster from her glossy lip balm. Her smooth skin glows with radiance and youth in every photo taken…even unexpected photos from paparazzi. Bottom line: Ashlee Simpson is gorgeous. But, like I’ve told you before, celebrities DO NOT just wake up looking stunning. They look like you and me - drool-stained cheek, hurricane hair and all. You can look just as gorgeous as any celebrity you choose with the right products from Drugstore.com.

National Seat Check Day - OK so today’s holiday isn’t as straightforward as you may think. Sure, when you read the title you might think National Seat Check Day celebrates all those times you’ve gone to a concert or sporting event and you had to convince the people who were sitting in your seats that they weren’t supposed to be there! Ahh I hate it when that happens! However, today is not drawing attention to this pesky situation. Rather, National Seat Check Day kicks off Child Passenger Safety Week. I don’t need to tell you the importance of having a proper car seat for your child’s age, weight and size. Whether you have kids or not, car seats protect children and are said to save thousands of children’s lives a year on the roads. So take my advice and get your child a proper car seat especially if he/she has grown out of the current one. I know, I know. Raising a child or children is expensive. That’s why you need my help! I say you head over to One Step Ahead and stock up on a whole bunch of safety products for your baby or young toddler. Save 10% on car seats, child safety gates, safety harnesses and more childproofing safety products when you use One Step Ahead coupons and spend $50 or more.

National Punch Day - I’m not really sure how to approach this holiday. The most obvious interpretation of “punch” is usually found in a large punch bowl in the middle of a table at a party or lame prom. Punch has made a pretty big name for itself. In virtually every high school movie or television show, there is always someone spiking the punch. I can’t believe kids actually do that! Such rebels I tell you. Personally, I don’t love the taste of alcohol; however, punch was originally made with a dash of liquor back then when it was invented. When’s the last time you had punch? Your high school prom? Oh my! Did you swear you’d never drink it again because you got soooooo sick after some punks spiked the punch? If you’re throwing a retro shindig or any party, punch is a great drink to serve…make a few of them, fill them with chopped fruits and you’re done! And if someone spikes the drink at your party, then be sure to check out Drugstore.com so you can be prepared for the aftermath…you do not want another prom repeat! Save $10 on vitamins, Aspirin, natural green products and tea when you use Drugstore.com coupons and spend $50 or more!

September 15th - It was on this day in history in 1928 that Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. This changed the future for humanity dramatically as people would no longer have to fear the effects of the common cold, the flu or other similar illnesses as penicillin could aid the body in fighting off such illnesses. So, the next time your feeling icky, make your way over to Drugstore.com where you’ll find discounted medications. And redeem our free Drugstore.com coupons for $10 off when you spend $50 or more. 

1990 - Florida Lottery Goes Over $100,000,000 - Oooooooooooooh myyyyyyyyyy goodness! Imagine what you could do with all that dough. I have a bad habit when it comes to playing the lottery - I think about all the cool stuff I’d buy, the places in the world I’d visit, who I’d share the money with and bla bla bla. In other-words, I’ve spent the money before I’ve even paid the clerk for my ticket! Then I’m completely disappointed when, of course, I don’t win. So, for people like you and me who have no luck when it comes to such things, there’s FabulousSavings. We can get anything we want here and save - and I mean ANYTHING! Don’t believe me? Well, what if I told you I wanted the following crazy items: a cookbook stand to hold my book as I’m slaving away in the kitchen, a necklace with little pumpkins that light up (ya that’s right - LIGHT UP!), the old Farkel Dice game…but pocket-sized (ya, you read that right - pocket-sized), and tea-light candles that I never have to light AND change colors. Like I said, get anything with our free coupons. If you happen to like any of the items I listed, or love charming knickknacks and games for the home, then head over to Current Catalog for the funnest time shopping.

Swap Ideas Day - I’m sure that whatever you job title is, you’ve had to swap ideas at some point or another. Personally for me, I love swapping ideas because it gets my creative juices flowing and I feed off other people’s energy. However, I wasn’t always like this. I used to be quite the introvert, and in most of my classes in university, you wouldn’t know I was there since I was soo quiet in class discussions or debates.  Now that I’m a bit older and have entered a more mature stage in my life, I am full of ideas, ready to share them whenever the time is right. The great thing about today is that we’re learning two important tools to use and apply in our everyday lives - sharing and thinking creatively. I don’t care who you are and how uncreative you may think you are, everyone has some ideas in them just waiting to be shared. If you still think you don’t have it in you, then I’m sure you and your friends (yes guys too) have shared one or two health and beauty secrets before. If this is the case, then check out Drugstore.com. Save $10 on discount makeup, personal and oral care and natural green products when you use Drugstore.com coupons and spend $50 or more.

Sewing Machine Day - Did I ever tell you how I’m inefficient when it comes to technology? Well, I am. And I know sewing machines were invented way before technology became an essential in our modern world; however, the sewing machine is yet another invention I cannot master for the life of me. Is it ever difficult… and um, wasn’t it invented to make people’s lives easier? HA! It just makes my life more stressful. I’m pretty good when it comes to learning new things. I tell ya, I’ve sat at my sewing machine at home for hours and hours (on several occasions) and could not figure this thing out. What am I going to do if I need to hem my pants and no one is around to do it for me? It’s a horrifying thought! Since today is sewing machine day, what better way to celebrate then by checking Overstock for the biggest (and I mean biggest) selection of sewing machines. Use Overstock coupons and save $10 on Singer and Brother sewing machines on orders of $150 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.

August 12th - It was on this day in history in 1856 that Anthony Fass patented the accordion. I have an uncle that can play the accordion. It’s a funny looking instrument, but it creates such a unique sound.  If you’re looking for an accordion, or any other instrument, head over to Instrument Pro for a great selection of what my mother would call noise makers. Use our free Instrument Pro coupons for a 10% discount on your purchase.

1987 - Charles Cole Climbs 870′ Using a Tyrolean Traverse Technique - Okay, so this terrifies me as I’ve watched Cliffhanger way too many times. This type of climb is usually done with two climbers. A strong rope is stretched over a gap between two cliffs - ya, that’s right. You’re shimmying a rope hundreds of feet in the air…so whatever you do, DO NOT look down. If you’re nutty enough to try this type of climb, be sure to get your gear from Sierra Trading Post. Use our free Sierra Trading Post coupons for 30 - 70% off climbing equipment & safety gear.

Use exclusive Drugstore.com coupons for $10 off when you spend $50 or more.  

National Fresh Breath Day - When you were little, no one cared if you had fresh breath because no one knew the difference. However, as you got older, matured and developed your own personal sense of smell and hygiene standards, fresh breath went from number 10 on the priority list to number 1. Part of it has to do with you entering more serious work and social relationships and environments. Today is a reminder of how important it is to have fresh breath, not just when you’re out and about in the dating scene and about to lean in for the big smooch; however, it is also imperative that your breath is in top shape when you attend job interviews and any other time you plan on making a positive and unforgettable first impression. Head over to Drugstore.com to receive expert pharmacist advice on what causes bad breath and what can be done about it. Then check out Drugstore.com coupons and save $10 on discount vitamins, mouthwashes and Altoids when you spend $50 or more.

Wiggle Your Toes Day - Oh my…remember a few days back it was “Take Your Pants for a Walk Day?” Well, I hate to tell you - today is another one of those days. Today we are encouraged to give our TOES some exercise. OK - I understand everyone is on the fast track to healthy living. I just can’t understand how wiggling our toes is supposed to make us, sorry our toes, feel any better. This holiday kind of strikes me because it’s quite impossible for us to air out our feet and wiggle our toes at work. There should be a rule against that. And also, how are our feet supposed to notice if we’re giving them a release from their cramped lifestyle? Ahh, if there was only some way to find out, like conducting a study or something. Wait - I have the perfect suggestion (don’t I always). Shop online at Teva for comfortable shoes that reduce foot fatigue and soreness. Hop into savings by using Teva coupons and save on discounted men’s and women’s sport sandals and more cushion-style shoes, allowing us to wiggle our feet INSIDE our shoes. Get free UPS second day shipping on orders of $50 or more!

August 5th - It was on this day in history that Houdini performed a magic trick in 1926. He was locked in a coffin, under water for one hour! Ever wish you were Houdini?

1966 - Beatles Release Yellow Submarine and Eleanor Rigby in the UK - I would’ve loved to grow up when the Beatles were together.
