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.

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?

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?

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?
