Saxophone Day - Badoo bada badooo! Sorry, that was my saxophone impression. I should know since I proudly played the saxophone for 3 years in high school. Man, do I miss playing it! I may not be a child psychologist; however, I can’t stress the importance of children playing instruments when they’re young. It’s been proven that children who play instruments are more focused and perform higher on test scores and in school overall. Fascinating, huh? That’s why it’s important for elementary schools and high schools to have a music program. Now enough about that, today is all about the saxophone. This classical instrument is part of the woodwind family and was created by Adophe Sax in 1840. There are also four types of saxophones, which all range in sound and size: soprano, alto (the one I played), tenor and baritone. No matter what sound, size or name it has, saxophones all produce one thing: an amazing soothing sound. On Saxophone Day, I say you check out Instrument Pro, whether you play it or another instrument from the woodwind family. Save 10% on Palatino and Selmer saxophones when you use Instrument Pro coupons.

Marooned Without a Compass Day - Hmm, why do I get the feeling that this holiday is directed towards me? Yes, it’s true; I have no sense of direction whether I’m driving, walking, biking (I don’t really bike)…you get the picture! It gets so bad that I sometimes waste more gas figuring out where I need to go and how to get there. The funniest and saddest part…I get lost in my own neighborhood, an area I’ve lived in for 22 years of my life. I take the longest routes and sometimes make circles around my destination point. I also get lost in malls that I’ve been to at least 20 or more times, and I usually find myself at the mall map directory. In a sense, I live out today’s holiday pretty much every day! How is your sense of direction? Perhaps you don’t really care if you’re lost and stranded. That’s a great attitude to have except it’s unrealistic. We’ve all got something called reality to get back to and can’t stay lost forever. On Marooned Without a Compass Day, you and I both should check out JC Whitney. Save 10% on discount Zumo, TomTom and Pharos GPS and navigation systems on orders of $100 or more when you use JC Whitney coupons.

But, sometimes when I’m in the mood to play and there’s no one around, it’s a bummer. Play Monopoly online at iWin whenever you want!

October 28th - It was on this day in history in 1992 that Lee Jang Rim predicted this day to be the end of the world! I guess it’s safe to safe that he was waaaaaaaaaay off. It wasn’t the end for us, but this day was the beginning for many celebrities. There was a ton of them born on this day. Below, I’ve named a couple of my favorites, and with them you’ll find my favorite coupons too!

Julia Roberts, 41 - Okay, I know she’s starred in a lot of movies, but my favorite one will always be Pretty Woman. It’s all about shopping for designer clothing and turning from a frumpy duckling into a classy swan. Who wouldn’t love this movie? The scene of Julia shopping in Bloomingdale’s with a credit card that has no limit, I have to admit, I drooled a little.

National Nut Day - Being National Nut Day, today can celebrate a whole bunch of different things. It’s also important that I give options to those who have nut allergies. Firstly, National Nut Day can celebrate all the crazies out there who have ever been called a nut, nuts or nutty. I sure know I’ve been called nuts once or twice (try like a million) times and I always take them as compliments. Why you wonder? Well, being called a ‘nut’ simply means that you have a sense of humor and are prone to act out of the ordinary which I love to do on occasion. So to all the people who are allergic to nuts, celebrate today by acting totally nutty. Do you normally play it safe? Then do something totally out of the ordinary that’ll make your spouse or best friend think you’ve gone nuts! Need some help? Head over to Instrument Pro! Think I’m nuts? Well I’m not! Use Instrument Pro coupons to save 10% on discounted Alvarez guitars, Casio keyboards and more!

Now onto the real nut of today’s holiday. Perhaps you didn’t know nuts are actually part of the fruit family. The nuts we eat every day are actually dried fruits and seeds. They’re an important source of nutrients for human beings and animals. Researching nuts, I was really stunned at how many nut varieties there are. This kind of made me sympathize with those who are allergic to nuts. No wonder nut allergies are the most common. Man, it’s enough to drive someone nuts! I like to enjoy nuts during the winter months with citrus fruits. The combination of the two is classic! To me, nuts are also great eaten as a snack or as a topper on desserts and salads. In a nutshell (sorry I couldn’t resist), depending on whether you can enjoy them or not, they’re the most loved and equally hated of foods! Celebrate today by heading over to Hickory Farms for amazing deals on this delicious snack! Save up to 50% on mixed nut gift tins, chocolate nut and macadamia nut tins when you use Hickory Farms coupons.

October 16th - It was on this day in history in 1923 that Walt Disney Company was formed.  I love Disney movies. If you ever watch a Disney flick in the theater, you’ll notice two different kinds of laughter. Children and adults will both laugh, but at different parts. That’s what so great about Disney films: anyone will enjoy them! If you’re a collector of Disney movies, then head over to Sony Style where you’ll find discounted DVDs on sale. And for an extra discount, use or free Sony Style coupons to make your purchase!

1939 - Sugar Rationing Begins in Netherlands - Hmmmmm. I wonder why they began rationing sugar? Could it be because parents were having trouble getting their children to bed by 8pm?

If you’re looking for the ultimate sugar indulgence then make a mad dash over to Davids Cookies. And for those of you who can’t have sugar, have no fear, David’s Cookies sugarless products are here! You won’t notice any difference in their sugarless or flourless desserts at all! So, use free Davids Cookies coupons to save 15%on delicious cookie or cakes deliveries with free shipping!

Fleetwood Mac is a rock band that formed in 1967.  The only member of the band that’s been there consistently since ‘67 is drummer Mick Fleetwood. Other than him, band members would come and go until 1974 when the final turnover occurred. Today, Fleetwood Mac band members include Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Buckingham Nicks.  This band is notorious for amazing instrumental talent. But they’ve had a lot of practice.

Mya, 29 - She’s a singer who’s mostly known for her performance in Lady Marmalade with singers Christina Aquilera, Lil Kim and Pink.  This was a HUGE song when it came out…it still is. I loved the video for it though - four women dressed in Victorian-flair, boutique-style lingerie dancing and singing at the top of their lungs.  Each woman completely different from the next, but nonetheless, together they exuded the notion of strength and power. Back to the sexy outfits though, I’ve got coupons to dress you up like these sassy divas.

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.
