Punk for a Day Day - Today is the day where you can be a Punk for a Day…just one day though! Were you into the whole punk-rock thing back when you were growing up? Or maybe you just discovered a really cool punk band in your city. Punk rock first hit the scene in the early to mid 1970s as a sort of attack to mainstream rock ‘n’ roll. Punk is a culture and philosophy. People dress, act and rock a certain way that distinguishes them from the rest of the genres. When I think of punk rock music (and I’m sure you do too), I think of who else…The Ramones! Punk rock is fascinating to me because it’s like a whole subculture that exists in the music industry. Since next week is Halloween (woohoo), maybe you could use the inspiration from this holiday and go as a punk rock singer or a punk!  Wolfgangs Vault is the place to go whether you choose to dress up as a punk or are looking for some great punk memorabilia. Save 20% on discounted Ramones, Clash and Green Day vintage rock tees and apparel when you use Wolfgangs Vault coupons.

Sourest Day - This holiday gives me a little chuckle because today we’re encouraged to turn the positives into negatives. Sourest Day wants us to bring out our pessimistic side which is not hard to do if you normally see the cup half empty than half full. As chipper and positive as I may sound at times, I’m sort of a pessimistic person when it comes to my own affairs. Perhaps because I lack confidence. Nonetheless, this holiday is perfect for me because I can have a reason to be pessimistic and I won’t get any slack from anyone. Today can also be interpreted as a holiday to indulge in all things sour like lemons, candy, vinegar and other acidic foods. I may be a sour puss at times; however, I do not enjoy biting into a slice of lemon! Ahh…I can taste it now and I’m doing the “sour face” as we speak! Today you can celebrate tons of ways whether you choose to be bitter (I mean sour) or indulge in sour foods. If you’re not a fan of both and prefer all things sweet, then check out Davids Cookies. Save 15% on discount gourmet cookie and cake gifts on orders of $29 or more when you use Davids Cookies coupons.

And since he’s so lovable, I’m gonna offer you three coupons!

Carrie Fisher, 52 - She was Princess Leia in Star Wars alongside Harrison Ford. Anytime I see her, I get a strange craving for cinnamon buns. It must be that weird hair-do she had in this film.

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. Whether you wear them for a special occasion or to sing Lady Marmalade as you bust some moves in your room is completely up to you. Discover bustiers, thigh-high stockings & more at Bare Necessities.

October 8th - It was on this day in history in 1818 that two English boxers began using padded gloves.  I guess they both agreed that a knuckle in the eye or cheek bone wasn’t necessary. Ever watch a boxing match? As a child, I’d get really confused when two men would be punching each other’s lights out, but then hugging soon after. My dad told me that they were both exhausted and just kind of leaned on each other for a few seconds to catch their breath. My reply was that if they both cared so much about being tired and leaned on each other for support, they were obviously good friends and shouldn’t be fighting anyway. My guess is that when my dad couldn’t think of a logical way to reply, he wished he’d been reading me a children’s book or something instead. For books & crafts for kids that get them thinking outside the box and using their imagination, head over to One Step Ahead.  Use One Step Ahead coupons for 15% off orders of $100 or more.  

1971 - John Lennon Releases the Megahit Imagine - Lennon knew he was destined for fame at a young age. He owned his first guitar at 17 when his mother bought him one. Julia, John’s mother, always encouraged his talents, unlike his aunt Mimi who always told him that his musical talents would never make him any money in life…hmmmmmm, guess she was way off, eh?  Lennon’s hit songs like Imagine and Give Peace a Chance were messages from his heart to humanity to reach out together and grab the possible…a peaceful world.  He had a lot of followers, and still does today. Whether you’re a fan of his music or follower of his vision, keep Lennon alive in your life by bringing him into your home. Find John Lennon memorabilia at Wolfgangs Vault for 10-20% off. Redeem exclusive Wolfgangs Vault coupons to save on posters, prints, apparel and more!

Sigourney Weaver, 59 - There are two movies that stick out in my mind when I think of her: Alien and Ghostbusters. “When there’s somethin’ strange, in the neighbourhood, who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!” I loooooved that movie as a child. It was the first theater movie my dad ever took me to. He bought me a huge bucket of popcorn and a large pop - what a treat! Well, my mother certainly never let me drink pop, but it was our little secret…until I was up late from all the sugar.  Make it a movie night with your kids - trust me, they appreciate it even though they pretend it’s lame. Head over to Sony Style for DVDs for family viewing like Ghostbusters and more. And redeem exclusive Sony Style coupons for a discount on your purchase!

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.

September 26th - It was on this day in history in 1962 that the TV comedy The Beverly Hillbillies premiered on CBS.  My favorite character was Daisy May, aka Granny. Maybe I like her so much because she reminds me of my grandmother. Both women thought they could cure anything with plants and herbs. Gramma used to maintain quite the garden in her backyard. One side was dedicated to veggies, the other to herbs. And the front yard was a gorgeous wonderland of flowers and vines. If you’re an avid gardener, or enjoy the freshest produce at your finger tips, then head over to Park Seed for herbs, houseplants, seeds & bulbs, vegetables and more!

1969 - Beatles Release Abbey Road - This was the eleventh album produced by the Beatles. The album before this one (Get Black) wasn’t very successful as the Beatles tried something new with their music that fans didn’t respond to very well. Abbey Road went back to songs that identified more with their original sound and vibe. Hence, this album became a HUGE hit instantly as fans felt reunited with the band. If you want to unite with the Beatles again and enjoy the good-old days, here’s what I suggest you do: Create a shrine in your home with Beatles posters, vintage tickets, old-school prints and more. Then, turn the lights low, light some incense and pop in the Abbey Road album. Sit back, close your eyes and let your memory take you back…to great times. Here’s where you’ll find all the stuff I mentioned on sale:

• Wolfgangs Vault - use Wolfgangs Vault coupons for 10% off posters, prints, vintage tickets & more
• Sony Style - use Sony Style coupons for a discount on the Abbey Road album by the Beatles

1997 - ER Is Performed Live on TV - Some people can’t handle watching this stuff. Me? I can watch it while I’m eating a bag of potato chips and lounging on the couch. With all the live operations I’ve watched, I could be the nurse that hands everything to the doctor. What? Did you think I was gonna say I could perform surgery or somethin’? No way! That’s way too much heat sitting on my shoulders. But, it would be cool to pretend to be one for a day…I mean for Halloween. CostumeSuperCenter has a wide array of doctor costumes, nurse costumes and more.
