I want to take a moment and share a fabulous blog with all my friends, family, and anonymous readers. My good friend Ashley turned me on to it a while ago, but I just recently became a loyal reader. The site is www.hip2save.com. The blog is constantly updated (several times every day). And the deals are unbelievable. For instance, two weeks ago I bought the jumbo roll of Scott paper towels and paid a little over $8 for the pack. On Sunday I was lead to a deal at CVS for the exact same pack for $4.99 and then followed a link to a $1 off coupon, so I was able to get them for $3.99.
The deals on this blog are really too many to mention (free Oreos, free tampons, free lotion, free shampoo, etc...). I highly recommend everybody checks it out and let me know what you think.
Happy Deal Finding!

The Four Agreements
I recently started reading "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz. The "four agreements" are kind of like rules to live by. They are so simple, yet I can see how structuring our lives around them could transform the quality of our daily lives. I am only on page 25 in the book, but felt so compelled to share them with you that I have put the book down to write this post.
THE FOUR AGREEMENTS:
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORDS:
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY:
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement you can completely transform your life.
ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.
These words were taken directly from the first page of the book "The Four Agreements". I am really excited about this book and can't wait to share with you what I learn.
