All This Stress Calls for a Salty Bath

Tish — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 00:20:22 +0000

As I was browsing through my RSS feeds today, I found a contest listing on My Blog Contest that really sparked my interest. Reality on Bravo is giving away Himalayan Bath Salt Crystals from Solay Wellness, Inc. Long, hot baths loaded with bath salts are one of my guilty pleasures, so I couldn’t pass this contest by.

The number of salty baths I take in any given day directly corresponds to the amount of stress in my life at the time. Lately I’ve been putting in a lot of hours at work, studying for my PHR certification exam, writing for two blogs, getting ready to launch a third, and doing all the usual household chores. That’s a lot of stress, and I’ve been taking a lot of baths! I could definitely put the Himalayan bath salts to good use!

If you’re interested in winning the bath salts, check out the contest details. The deadline for entering is December 10th at 12:00 PM Eastern.

I always love back-to-school time. It means that school coupon books are on the way! For just $10, I get hundreds of great coupons! The Home Depot coupon alone usually makes up for the cost of the book, and then some! I just scored my new book on Monday, and I am absolutely thrilled. I am going shopping this weekend! Yippee!

Another way that I save money is by using online coupon codes. There are thousands of online coupons and discounts that can save you tons of money! UltimateCoupons.com is chock full of money-saving offers from hundreds of online merchants. Before making any online purchase, you should stop by to see how just how much you can save.
