Vibrating Mascara from Maybelline?

2009-05-28T09:57:00.000-04:00

I think Maybelline is over the top with this one. I'm just not sure what a vibrating mascara wand is going to do for my lashes. Maybelline's new Pulse Perfection by Define-a-Lash Vibrating Mascara has the same claims as any other mascara: long-wearing, clump-free, lifted and separated lashes. I suppose the vibration helps distribute the mascara evenly so you get perfect lashes. You can't buy it in stores, yet. It's only available online exclusively at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS. Walmart's price is $12.88 plus tax and 97-cent shipping. That's about $6 or $7 more than what I usually pay. I'm not sure that it's worth it. Considering how infrequently I wear masacara (try Sunday for church), I think I'll have to pass on this fad.

Sears Portraits: Free 8x10 Portrait Collage + Save on a Cool Father's Day Photo Gift

2009-05-27T13:36:00.005-04:00

So many of my friends do not get portraits made of their kids. I'm at a loss as to why. I think it's something they will regret when their children are older. Sure, we take lots of candid digital photos, too. But there's nothing like dressing up in your Sunday best and sitting for the photographer.

We go to Sears to get the kids' pictures made twice a year or so. No, they don't make the most exquisite pictures in the world, but they do a good job. It's a convenient location, and with their photo deals, it's easy on the pocketbook. Also, a big plus - you can schedule your appointment online. I just made an appointment for our daughter's 3-year pictures.

The latest deal at Sears is a free 8x10 portrait collage ($29.99 value) with no sitting fee. This offer is valid thru June 2, 2009.

Sears also has a cute 3-picture desktop folio for only $9.99, also with no session fee. What a neat gift for Father's Day.

Bank of America Customers: Free Museum Admission

2009-05-27T07:01:00.002-04:00

If you are a Bank of America customer, look into their Museums on Us program. On the first weekend of every month, just present your Bank of America credit, debit, or ATM card and receive free admission to participating museums, zoos, science centers, and botanical gardens in 74 cities across the country. Check the website to see which museums participate in your area.

In Atlanta, the museums include

Atlanta History Center
Fernbank Museum of Natural History
Atlanta Botanical Garden
Zoo Atlanta
Millennium Gate

I am assuming that only the customer (adult) receives free admission, but with the usual reduced kids' admission, this could be a great way to check out a museum for cheap.
