Great Savings on a Chi Hair Iron

234x60 Black Logo

Okay if you know me well, you know what a mane I have. I have the thickest hair in the world. In college, I used to have my roommate iron it with a REAL iron (with no protection in between.) That was until I found the Chi Iron. Swaggrabber found a great deal on Chi and I KNOW this is the lowest I have ever seen it because I have replaced a few (only because I have dropped them.) Get a Chi Hair iron for $64.99 on Buy.com (plus FREE Shipping.) These usually retail for well over $100 (compare at $120 at Target.) Search CHI 63587. Thanks Swaggrabber.

Facebook members can print a coupon for a two free VS Undies Panty (up to $17 value) with any purchase valid in-store Tuesday, Sept. 1 only. Look under the “Secrets” tab to access the PDF coupon to print. You do need to become a fan in order to access the printable coupon. Might as well also print out this coupon for free 1 oz. Victoria’s Secret Pink Body Lotion in case your store still has some to hand out.

Thanks to one of my readers who emailed me, I found out about this just in time. I thought this would be a treat for my readers who are on Facebook. Although it does require a purchase please remember you can buy anything to qualify to use that coupon – even something travel-size. I saw travel hand sanitizer gel for $3.50 at my Victoria’s Secret store.

Free Classroom Books from Sunny D

Did you know your classroom can earn 20 free books from Sunny D? Just ask your child’s class to collect labels from Sunny D and when your teacher mails in 20 labels they will receive 20 books for the classroom. Of course this offer is while supplies last. They say that they will select age-appropriate books for the grade that submits the form and labels.

If your class isn’t able to collect 20 labels, then you can still send them in to donate 10 cents per label to the Kids in Need Foundation. Sunny D is making a minimum donation of $100,000, but will donate up to $300,000 if they get enough labels sent in. This offer expires on November 17, but the sooner you can mail it in the more likely you’ll get those free books for your classroom.

Guest Post: How to Cut Car Costs

Today’s guest post comes to us from Larry, who shares his tips for saving money on your vehicle!

About Larry:

Larry Mitchell writes for Out of Debt Christian, a daily blog on finances, faith and frugality.

Your vehicle and all associated expenses are one of the biggest costs for a household. Unfortunately, it is also a necessary expense. However, there are ways you can cut costs on cars. You might be surprised to learn you can reduce the cost of a vehicle by up to 90%!

How do you reduce car costs by that much? Take a tip from entrepreneur Chris Hedgecock. He started www.carsforagrand.com, a great Web site that lists thousands of cars available for under $1,000. This may sound like it is too good to be true but it is definitely not. To prove it, he bought a vehicle himself, though his own website and proceeded to take the car cross country. He spent just $900 on the vehicle and a few hundred dollars more for thoughtful maintenance and repairs. His cross country journey was a success, and was chronicled in dozens of TV news stories as he made his way across the nation.

Before you go out and buy a cheap vehicle, though, understand that there are plenty of lemons available that will break down within days of buying it. So, it is important to understand how to avoid this while still maintaining low costs.

Start by understanding the vehicle’s complete history. You can buy a vehicle history report at www.vindetective.com for just $15 to learn any car’s odometer readings, title history, accident reports, ownership history and other useful data. This will help you determine if there may be any hidden problems making the vehicle less of a bargain and more of a burden.

With any older vehicle, you will likely need to spend a few hundred dollars on top of your initial purchase price for routine maintenance. Get the oil changed, purchase new spark plugs and make sure the vehicle is in generally good condition. This will make it last longer and be more reliable.

Do not spend a lot of money on insurance needlessly. Instead of opting for full coverage or collision, choose just the minimum requirements by law. If you get more than this, and your vehicle is in an accident, the odds are that you will have spent more on premium costs than what the car is worth.

Invest a few dollars extra each month on a roadside assistance program in case the vehicle breaks down. With any older vehicle, you will eventually get to a point where some significant repair needs to be made. If this happens, make sure you know how to determine the value of the vehicle versus the amount of repair. If the repair will exceed the value, sell it or donate it and start over.

If you heed these tips, you can have a reliable mode of transportation at very little cost. You will save a lot of money each year on vehicle costs. You may not have the newest, most stylish car on the street, but you will be saving a lot of money. In today’s economy, this is especially important.

Review: Hamadi

Jamal Hammadi has established a sold reputation for himself, creating sensuous and glamorous hairstyles for celebrities, fashion editorials and international haute couture houses alike. His characteristic work has been featured on the covers of British Vogue, British Elle, French Vogue, Flaunt, Spin, Nylon, Interview, Citizen Kane, InStyle, The Face, British GQ, American GQ, Italian Glamour, Vanity Fair, Glamour, among others. His celebrity clientele include Fergie, Eva Mendes, Drew Barrymore, Sharon Stone, Naomi Watts, Kirsten Dunst, Jessica Biel, Joseph Fiennes, Julianne Moore, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Heather Graham, Linda Evangelista, just to list a few. Additionally, Jamal has styled the tresses of countless super beauties on the New York and Paris runways for Chanel, Christian Dior, Jean-Paul Gaultier and John Galliano.

Jamal’s signature product line, Hamadi Beauty, is a line of luxurious, 100% organic products made with 100% organic essential oils and plant extracts.

Hamadi Beauty is all about versatility and no-fuss philosophy. It’s the perfect hair care line for everyone seeking luxurious simplicity, from jet-setters to moms on-the-go to professional stylists.

Hamadi Beauty came about because I couldn’t find products rich or luxurious enough for my clients’ hair, or anything that suited my hair texture, either (dry, curly and fine). Heather Graham wanted a leave-in conditioner, so I started mixing and testing different ingredients myself – starting with shea butter and adding vitamins, veggies and essential oils – trying out these ‘cocktails’ on my clients.

My focus was on moisture and nourishment from the inside out. That is ultimately how the Hamadi line got started.” – Jamal Hammadi

The Ginger Soymilk Hair Wash ($9 – $27) is described as a gentle shampoo that is ideal for all hair types. The only thing is that it wasn’t ideal for my hair much as I was hoping it would be. It smelled great, but it made my hair a tangled mess and my hair was drier than Sahara Desert after using.

The Hamadi Shea Rice Milk Conditioner ($11.50 – $38) is a daily detangling conditioner for all hair types. It has a pleasant, clean scent. It didn’t rinse out quite well, but it may have been where I had to use so much of the shampoo. I got a bit carried away with the conditioner as well. It did a wonderful job at keeping my hair tangle-free and frizz-free.It also made my hair softer and much more manageable.

The Shea Spray ($23 – $38) was my favorite product out of the bunch. They recommend spray this product onto clean, wet hair and blow-dry to eliminate frizz OR spray onto dry hair for a quick fix and extra shine. Not only this product makes your hair prettier, but makes it look healthier and younger as well.

Review: ProSilk Ceramic Mini Flat Iron

The ProSilk Ceramic Mini Flat Iron works miraculously at smoothing and straightening the hair. This small flat iron works well with short hair styles as it does for long or medium-length. This is the perfect tool to take on trips if you don’t feel like fussing with a bigger flat iron since it is lightweight and very to use. I attempted at making a small curl with this flat iron, but that did not work out at all since it is too small. However, it helps at keeping my hair pin straight and frizz free. It does not heat up much as I would like it to, but it is probably for the best since that is less damage for my hair.
