Who among us does not enjoy lounging in the lap of luxury?
We treat ourselves to the occasional massage at a spa, a day of shopping, a
relaxing round of golf or a spendy night out with friends. But where do we
always end up? That's right! Bundled up in our beds, snoozing and snoring and
longing for linens of a higher sort.
That's where this week's
Featured Store
comes in: Hello, Pacific Pillows...

Although many health professionals recommend we get 7-9 hours of sleep each night, few of us are able to follow through on that simple health tip. Our stressful, hectic lives mean we often get to bed far later than we should and wake our weary bodies far earlier than we'd like.
While tonight is all about staying up past midnight, maybe TOMORROW night can be the start of a New Year's resolution to get more--and better--sleep.
Pacific Pillows has provided us with a $50 gift card to give away to help one lucky winner achieve some sweet dreams in 2010.

Money Saving Tips

The only new piece of furniture I own in my house is my mattress.
Everything else is a hand-me-down. Not only have I furnished my
entire house for less than $1,000, I'm saving the environment by
reclaiming furniture that would have otherwise ended up in the
trash. To make everything match and look nice, I have repurposed
many of the pieces. I'm no handyman, but there are several ways you
can repurpose furniture with little experience and
without spending a ton of money.
1. Paint
A fresh coat of paint gives life to an old piece of wood furniture.
You can paint the furniture to match the original wood or in any
color you like, (I have a blue desk.) The major hardware chains
sell samples of low-VOC paint for about $3.50 and its enough paint
to finish most jobs.
