I know Wal-Mart is terrible, but I will never stop buying their candles. They have amazing flavours and they're $3.33 each ($4 Canadian). They also last a decent amount of time and they smell incredible. No one should ever spend more than $10 a candle - and if you already do spend more than that on candles, then you're making too much money.
Birthday Deals!
I don't know why more places don't upsell the fact that they's got BIRTHDAY DEALS. We all want those deals. Give us those deals, damnit.
I just found this list of places that offers you something on your big day, it's a mostly American list so let me post a more Canadian friendly one over here.
Obviously, I'm not telling you to take advantage of ALL the things offered since we're all trying to live some kind of healthy life. I'm just letting you know that if you want free ice cream on your birthday, you're entitled to it.
Sidenote: Happy Birthday to my insanely great brother, Robbie. He's one of the best men in my life and I'm crazy lucky to know him. Really, my brothers are easily the best in the business. You should be jealous maybe. LOVE YOU.
Cheap Magazine Subscriptions
Obviously, you know I'm into handwritten mail. Who isn't? But you know what's also pretty sweet? Magazines, baby. I waited, oh, about four years before fulfilling a dream and finally subscribing to Martha Stewart Living. Why did I wait? It always seemed too expensive. The only reason I finally signed up was because of the crazy deals that most magazine subscriptions are offering now. (This definitely sounds like an ad. A bad ad. Sorry about that.) GQ offered a year-long subscription rate of $5 FOR THE YEAR a few weeks back (it's now at $15 for the year), so it's good to check off and on.
This is basically just a public service announcement telling you that if you've been putting off subscribing to some magazine you've always wanted to get but haven't because of money - well, you should go sign up now since magazines are definitely on their way out the door. I understand that's why they're charging so little, so it'd be smartest to get in on this now because they're completely gone.
You can find the weekly, cheap Amazon magazine subscriptions over here. But you should also check out an individual magazine's website as well. Mad deals all 'round. Get in on it.
(And if you're the type who's into tabloids... well... I genuinely hate myself for being the one to inform you of these deals. I really do.)
