You've probably heard by now that Dockers is giving away 2,010 pairs of Dockers when their commercial, "Men without Pants," airs during the Super Bowl. Be one of the first 2,010 first to enter and you'll win automatically. Dockers will contact you by email on 2/8 if you've won.

Here's news you may not know - I just found out that they are also giving away additional pants...2,990 pair to be exact! February 8th through February 15th you can enter the Dockers Wear the Pants sweepstake. Good Luck!

I usually curl my hair under, out, or a combination of the two but every once in a while I like to straighten my hair. I love the way my hair shines when my hair is straightened properly. A good straightener is a big part of having healthy, silky, straight hair. When searching for a good hair straightener online I ran across Compare-ghd.com. They are an independent and impartial ghd price comparison site.

Here are a few of the benefits from using Compare-ghd.com:

• They compare EVERY OFFICIAL ghd retailer in UK to find the cheapest ghd prices
• They check prices EVERY DAY
• They are independent and impartial
• They only compare official, approved, UK-based ghd retailers. All prices are for genuine ghds (there are many fakes circulating but not here)
• Compare-ghd.com has been live since 2006

Compare-ghd compares different companies that sell ghd straighteners and tells what additional items come free (if any) with the purchase of a straightener. It also gives a comparison of the price, the shipping cost and time of delivery. Once you have made an educated decision just click the "Buy Now" button near your straightener of choice and Compare-ghd will redirect you to that site to buy continue with your purchase. Go and take a look at Compare-ghd.com and see which straightener (maybe even a precious straightener) would be best for your hair and budget.

I've been a happy member of Coupon Cactus since 2008 and I want to tell you about how use can use Coupon Cactus to help save your family money.

Coupon Cactus scours the web for the biggest coupons, deals and sales at over 2,000 of the best known stores! (A few of my favorites are VistaPrint, Overstock, Victoria's Secret, Zazzle, Personalization Mall...and many, many more!) At Coupon Cactus you'll find thousands and thousands of online coupons and coupon codes with a variety of discounts including money off your order, a percent off your order, & free shipping. These coupons are free to everyone and there is no registration required.

They also have a cash back program that I think is fabulous. You do have to register to be a Coupon Cactus member but you can get cash back ON TOP of the coupon discounts offered! : ) That makes this frugal girl happy. Just to make sure I'm being clear here's an example...if you use a 20% off coupon code and the store's cash back rate is 5% then you will save a total of 25% off your order. Just about every store on Coupon Cactus qualifies for cash back. The sign-up is a simple registration and you tell them where to send your cash back (Paypal or a mailed check).

Some of the deals include:

- Dream Template 12% cash back

- Smashbox 4% cash back

- Symantec Norton 10% cash back

- Carbonite 12% cash back

Last but not least, when your friends sign up for Coupon Cactus with your referral number, you get a bit of a extra every time they buy something too (& it doesn't come from their savings!). Everyone wins! If you'd like to help me out...and I wish you would, please give my member #106647 when you register. Then tell your friends to sign up with your member number to earn even more savings! Enjoy! Hurry, go sign up today. : )

This cream is great in that you can apply it in the morning or evening, and within minutes of putting it on, my skin feels hydrated. It's pretty thick and only takes a few moments to soak in. It has a perfume smell which doesn't bother me but may really agitate some people's allergies.

I don't have problems with sagging or lack of firmness (as I'm still in my 20s and have been an avid user of anti-aging products for years), but I did notice that my skin felt well hydrated and had a radiant luster to it.
