Internet Shopping

I recently discovered that if you want a deal on something you're buying, or travel you're booking on the internet, you can do a search for coupons for that item at that website. Often you'll find them. Then, when you're ringing out your purchase just fill in the coupon code!

Bed, Bath & Beyond Discount Coupons

The coupon mailers that Bed, Bath & Beyond routinely sends are usable even if they're expired! Plus, you can use as many as you want at a time. I consider this to be one of the best stores in the Bay Area for organizing supplies, kitchen items, draperies, bedding, cosmetics, and a wealth of other household items. Yesterday I used 5 coupons. My purchase would have been $145 before tax, and ended up at $110 before tax.

Yoga - Baby Steps

Back to when I wrote about New Year's resolutions. It took me 8 years of making a resolution to do yoga to actually do it. Now I do yoga with two friends once a week. We would always remark that we never do it on our own. So we decided to hold ourselves accountable to doing at least 3 poses a day. These baby steps have worked. Now we email each other daily to say we've done it. We sometimes slip, but the main thing is we're all feeling better from the added stretches. This can apply to any goal. Begin with baby steps.

An Under the Radar Dessert

Put a couple of tablespoons of Fage Greek Yogurt in a bowl. Sprinkle Sharffenberger cacao nibs on it, along with some Scharffenberger unsweetened cocoa powder, and drizzle agave syrup on it to taste. If you don't mix it it, your taste buds will get a fuller experience of the separate components. This combo can turn almost anything into a dessert. A bagel, a slice of toast (with cream cheese), crackers with butter or cream cheese, leftover rice...anything relatively bland can turn into a dessert with this magic combo. Yum! Enjoy!
