I am the lucky one who gets to see sales before they happen as a buzz guide at couponbuzz.com!! I just got through entering some promotions coming up for Charlotte Russe and there will be some good ones!! They are having a Sweetheart 7 day sale in honor of Valentine’s Day with something different each day like buy one get one shoes for $10. The sale will run through Valentine’s Day, so starting on the 7th of February, check out Charlotte Russe on couponbuzz.com to get all the deals and steals.
I love make up and anything cosmetic like. I love trying out new things, colors, and products. And, being a mom, unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of time to get ready in the morning and play around with stuff. I’m always in a time crunch or have a small boy pulling on my leg or getting into things in the bathroom. So, time is of the essence. But, I do like to at least “put my face on” most days to avoid the stay at home mom syndrome of frumpiness.
I love Buy.com and am very lucky since I do the promotions for them each week so I always get a first look at what deals they are running. Besides the fact that there are monthly coupons, there are also often great deals on particular items. When I saw this one for earrings, I immediately thought of Valentine’s Day and these poor, clueless men that never know what to get.
If you have ever been pregnant, you know what it is like finding stylish maternity clothes. Jeans for me were the worst! Seems like I could only find big, baggy jeans when I was pregnant with my boys several years ago. Well, somebody finally figured out that even if you are pregnant, you still would like to look cute and stylish. Your legs aren’t pregnant, just your belly! So, why should you have to wear bulky jeans?
How cute is this basset hound? Looks pretty real, too, eh? Well, this is only one of many types of these plush life like looking dogs at PetCareRx. I came across these while doing my promotions for couponbuzz.com and thought they were just one of a kind. They literally have every kind of dog you can imagine made into these stuffed toys. I guess some would just collect them and using the word “toy” would not be appropriate. But, I would for sure buy one of these for my boys who love to pretend that they have a cat/dog to play with and feed/walk, etc.
I recently discovered the ease of buying perfume on line this past March on my mother’s birthday. She has long worn a perfume called Gem but she couldn’t find it anywhere. She asked me on a recent trip to Paris to check the duty free shops for it. After looking in several, one of the sales clerks informed me that it had in fact been discontinued. So, I decided to look on line to see if I could still find some unopened bottles out there. And, there were! One of the places that sells it is Fragrance X. I found others on Ebay, but the prices at Fragrance X were better and I knew it was a legitimate company so it would be safe and trustworthy. I was afraid I’d get some skunky old bottle from someone on Ebay. Anyway, the shipment of the perfume safely arrived at my mom’s house just in time for her birthday and it was perfect! So, if you have a fragrance that your mom used to wear, or even one you loved but can’t find anymore, try looking online and check out Fragrance X on couponbuzz.com as well.
Man, do I wish the internet was as popular and accessible back when I was a student in college, and even a teacher! It’s amazing how quickly things have changed. Heck, I didn’t even have email until my senior year in college, and certainly no internet browsing until my later 20’s. Anyway, it is great to see how many places online now offer deals for students and teachers.
I found one software company, Adobe, which offers special discounts on all of their software for educators. Things like Photoshop, Acrobat, and Creative Suite. These are awesome tools that everyone uses and they offer them up to 80% off if you can provide proof that you are a student or faculty member.
I have recently discovered a new book that I must share. I was struggling with the terrible 2’s in my little boy, Michael. He was king of the temper tantrums, fits, whining, and crying when he didn’t want to do something and it was driving me crazy. I needed help. A friend of mine let me borrow a wonderful book on discipline for kids 2 – 12 called 1,2,3 Magic by Thomas W. Phelan. It has been working wonders! Basically, the behaviors you find obnoxious or annoying such as those I listed above are called stop behaviors. The trick to making them stop is counting, and immediate time out with showing no emotion or yelling, etc. It has really been working wonders on Michael. I had always tried a little of this, but I guess I wasn’t consistent, and I certainly wasn’t able to do it without showing emotion and frustration. The book talks a lot about how to do the counting and time outs, and answers a ton of questions like what to do when you are out in public or even in the car! I’ve always struggled with those situations.
I was busy doing my buzzguide stuff and downloaded some new promotions for Musician’s Friend. I have been watching this site over the months that I’ve been doing work for couponbuzz.com and am really
impressed with their prices. The best thing of all is their clearance section. Right now they are offering up to 91% off on clearance items, including some scratch and dents. And, we’re not just talking like rock band stuff. They sell concert band, marching band, and orchestra/string instruments as well as sheet music, learn how to books, and recording and DJ software and equipment. Anything and everything to do with music, instruments, and accessories, they have it.
