Surprise! Today (May 16th, 2012) only, select items are up to 75% off at Kate Spade! It’s the perfect time to grab the designs you love at prices mere mortals can afford.

Shipping is a flat $5 on every order. But remember—after today, these great deals are gone.

The temperatures are getting warmer, and photos of kids running through sprinklers are popping up everywhere. I am not one to run through the sprinklers, but I sit outside and read as my children do their thing. One thing that I realize I’m missing from my summer wardrobe is a nice cover-up. I love this one from figleaves.

Finally ready to get yourself a Dyson vacuum, or maybe you already have one and have been hoping for a deal on their newer convertible stick-vac?

Either way, today’s the day to get on over to Woot!

The main Woot site has three different colors of a refurbished Dyson DC25 Ball Vacuum available for just $250 plus $5 shipping, while Sellout.Woot is offering the refurbished Dyson DC35 stick vac for just $230 plus $5 shipping.

Yes, it’s a sad commentary on my life that I’m excited about vacuum cleaners. But at this price, who wouldn’t be?

A friend posted a shot of her eyelashes after buying L’Oreal Voluminous False Fibre Lashes and I made my way to the drug store THAT VERY DAY. It doesn’t clump, it extends your lashes, and it’s at a reasonable price. It is definitely an affordable luxury.

Spring is in full swing and our annuals are starting to bloom. It’s almost time to plant our vegetable garden, which means it’s time to take stock of our gardening tools. We only have one set, and both seem to want to use the same set at the same time, so I’m buying a set that will be ALL MINE.

Wednesdays are always a good day to scope out the sale at Kohls, but today is even better, for a number of reasons.

First, you’ll get $10 of Kohls Cash for every $50 you spend. Second, shipping is just $.99/item, or free on your $75+ order. Third, you can use coupon code SUNSHINE20 for an extra 20% off their already lowest-of-the-season prices.

And fourth, you don’t even have to leave your desk to score the savings. Perfect.

My Lands’ End catalog arrived in the mail Friday afternoon and I have flipped through it no less than twenty times. So many pretty dresses, so hard to pick JUST ONE. I may have to buy them all.

I was one of the 32 bloggers in Sarah’s Blogger Beauty Secrets post and two of the thirty-two bloggers sung the praises of the Clarisonic. Three, if you count Sarah.

I hadn’t really paid attention to mentions of the Clarisonic before, but my skin is aging, the number 11 between my eyes is deepening, and from what I have heard, this little contraption can keep the wrinkles at bay.

There’s a lot to love about the H2O Plus line of products, already—not only do they make their personal care products for skin and hair out of marine botanicals, they help support the preservation and restoration of our earth’s oceans, too. Good stuff!

But today (April 25th, 2012) only, you can also score a great deal at H2O Plus, because they’re offering 25% off everything with coupon code PLUS25. Spend $75+ and your shipping will be free, too.

That’s a great—and green—deal!

I am a runner who runs about three days a week. I’m about to start training for the 10K that I did last June and I’ve noticed that the running shoes I got fitted for a year ago are showing signs of age. My feet and knees are aching and I think it’s time to spring for a new pair, and I think I’ll stick with my New Balance 760’s.
