One day left… Nominate The Woman of the Year!

by

Are you the Total Woman?  Nominate a friend, sister, mother, or even yourself to be the Total Woman of the Year!  Total Woman Gym & Day Spa is offering the winner a FREE fitness and spa membership for a year!  There will be 11 lucky women chosen, one at each of their locations.  The winner will receive one-year of unlimited access to the gym plus one spa service per month.  Walking into Total Woman Gym & Day Spa feels like walking into a spa not a gym, it is peaceful with the slight aroma of lavender. When you think of a gym typically you do not think beautiful, however this is not  just a gym it is a gym and spa for WOMEN.  The first thing that struck me is obviously there were no men, but more than that they really built this gym for women.  More of the machines we use regularly and all the machines are calibrated for a woman’s body.  There is a full Pilates studio with three reformers, an ARC trainer similar to an elliptical, but with better results in less time.  There is also a full list of classes from belly dancing to yoga, and unlike most gyms these classes are held everyday.

Visit the Total Woman Gym & Day Spa website to nominate someone special to be the Total Woman of the year.  Today only they will be randomly giving away an iPod to someone who nominates a Total Woman!  After nominating someone you will receive a free two-week membership ($50 value) to use at any of the locations.  With a dozen convenient locations in California there is sure to be one close to you.  The convenient locations are in Brea, Encinitas, Glendale, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Mission Valley, Northridge, Placentia, Studio CIty, Torrance, Westlake Village and Woodland Hills.

$5 off of $10 at Hallmark

by

I love all of Hallmark’s holiday items, and usually spend at least $50 a year on Christmas items alone at Hallmark.  Yesterday I was super excited to receive a $5 off of $10 coupon via e-mail because I am on the mailing list.  I was sad because I didn’t see how I could share it with all of you.  Today on the Hallmark Facebook page the same coupon appeared!  Just ‘Like’ Hallmark on Facebook and print the coupon, easy as that!  Coupon is valid until 11/13/11, this weekend is a great time to use it because of the open house there will be amazing deals!

Too early to decorate for Christmas?

by

My Halloween decorations will be coming down today, and my Thanksgiving decorations are nothing to write home about.  So… the question is may I skip Thanksgiving and go straight into Christmas?  I love my Christmas decorations, I decorate almost every room in the house.  The best part is when I open the boxes and find all the items I bought last year after Christmas for 50-90% off.  I always forget what I bought by the time Christmas comes around again so it is a little present for me by me!  I don’t think it is fair I only get one month to enjoy all of the decorations I have spent years accumulating.  Am I crazy? Does anyone else feel this way?  My husband already thinks I’m a little nutty because the day after Thanksgiving we go buy our tree.  If he had his way then we would wait until it was actually December.  Although the tree is something different entirely, the Christmas tree is my work of art.  My husband helped me decorate the first year we were married and now I do everything.  I bought my son his own tree and he has his own ornaments, we have the mama tree and the little boy tree. I want to make Christmas cookies, decorate gingerbread houses, sit by a fire and enjoy the smell of a fresh Christmas tree.  Just writing all of this I’m getting so excited…  So is it too early to start decorating for Christmas?
