Hey, America's a Free Country

The Choice is Clear

Found an inexpensive dress that reminded me of Kara Janx's style (Project Runway, season II, for those unfamiliar with the designer). While Janx' kimono dress goes for $210, Wet Seal's retails for $22.50. You choose.

How to Pack for a Cruise

What to bring:

• Books you have started reading (not the ones you think you might like)
• Magazines (the more the better)
• CD/MP3 player (if traveling with husband, bring one for each person)
• Friend (to hang with when the other halves play poker)
• Playing cards (helpful when chilling on the beach)
• One quarter of the clothes you wanted to pack (trust me, I thought I packed light)
• Gym outfits (burn all those buffet calories!)
• Comfy shoes (flip-flops and sneakers)
• Alcohol ($6 a bottle of beer on the ship), bottle opener
• Bathing suit, SPF (don’t forget your feet!)
• Your tired self

Frizzy Fridays

If you shop at Amazon, you probably already know that the site offers deep discounts every Friday. The great aspect of the giant seller is, of course, its free shipping over $25 on most items. So, since today happens to be Friday, I thought I would check out the offers.

If you, ladies, desire straight, silky locks, you might want to invest in this iron. Even after the savings, it is still expensive ($112.13), but it is worth the money. After all, at the risk of sounding like a hypocrite, no one is rich enough to buy cheap products. This iron is by a reputable brand (Tourmaline) that dominates the market. Although the reviews are quite mixed, remember, these are just opinions. So, make your own conclusions and let us know.

Power to the People

If you are a shopaholic who has little time to frequent brick and mortar stores, you will love this site. ShopWiki is the newest search engine that helps those on a budget find the best deal. But how is it different from, say, Froogle? Well, it claims to have more specific searches (you can indicate the price range and distinguish among items in the same category) and to visit a greater number of merchants. Oh, and the best part? YOU are! No, you are! You get to edit the site's content if you wish to contribute. So, check out Wiki if you don't enjoy wasting money or getting scammed. Happy shopping to all.
