The Worst Cheap Valentine's Day Ideas

under Holidays

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, which of course means that blogs must fill their quotas of Valentine's Day posts. There's nothing wrong with that. It also means that money-saving blogs must get their yearly Valentine's Day money-saving ideas out of the way. The problem is that the basics of how to have a frugal Valentine's Day aren't terribly mysterious. And, in the never-ending quest to produce original content, some otherwise good blogs wind up posting some bad tips. Read More …

Wardrobe Oxygen: Bad Fashion Trends

under Stuff We Like

While I usually write about current fashion trends that I love and how one can achieve them for less, there are many current fashion trends that I wish would die.  While some of these trends are fun, and some may be carried off by a few True Fashionistas, these trends in general are not flattering, not very wearable, and just need to leave the runway and the retailers.

Is eco-tourism just a buzz word from the first decade in the 21st century?  Whenever I hear "eco-tourism" I think of fancy tents in Africa where someone else does all the hard work of typical camping and lots of wild animals a safe distance away but close enough to feel scared.  What is eco-tourism shaping up to be in the new decade?  Read More …

The Tech-pert: What are Ultrabooks and Why Should You Care

under Product Review

What's the biggest buzzword at this year's Consumer Electronics Show? No, it's not "Beiber." It's ultrabooks. Three guesses what they are:

1. Regular books, only super-better.

2. Kindle-style e-book readers plated with shiny titanium.

3. Super-thin, super-light laptops that used to be known as "ultraportables," "ultralights," and "subnotebooks."

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?  Do you even have time to get ready?  I don't- my job begins well before sunrise and soon after I'm awake, my 2-year old is begging for food and attention. 

Once I have my younger one comfortable, then it's the task of waking up my 5-year old, who is already showing at this young age, that she's not a morning person. 

After I'm done getting both my kids ready (which is a marathon in itself), I'm usually rushing out the door dressed in sweats without washing my face or brushing my teeth.  Sound familiar?

Hoarding 101: The Benefits of Decluttering Your House

I read somewhere that someone's New Years resolution was to "get rid of something they don't need every day." That sure beats the "I want to lose 8747 pounds," or "I want to win American Idol," that I normally see on blogs this time of year. I like setting myself up for failure by placing unrealistic expectations on myself as much as the next guy, so I decided that I was gonna do it. No, not win American Idol (I'm too old), but try to get rid of one thing every day for a whole year.

 

Why would I agree (in my head) to do such a ridiculous thing?
