Gone are the days when people trash newspaper pages with coupons and supermarket flyers. Coupons are very popular now because people have finally realized they can save as much as 50 to 60 percent a week at groceries and other establishments. Coupon clipping back then was time consuming and it's probably one of the biggest reasons why they weren't popular. Nowadays, coupons are printable and coded. You can simply enter the code when shopping online or just print and use it when shopping in malls or supermarkets. I enjoy shopping with coupons and I can't even imagine buying things without them, or purchasing something that is not on sale.

The Perfect Mascaras for Younger-Looking Eyes
You know that a few swipes of mascara can help you look refreshed and instantly younger. But with so many mascaras in the beauty aisles to choose from, finding the perfect one for your eyes can be frustrating, especially for those with issues like thinning eyelashes, breakage, or eye irritation.
Here are some formulas that will work perfectly in a blink.
Short Lashes
Problem short lashes are usually brought on by age, excessive sun exposure or harsh makeup removers. Using a polymer-based mascara that contains tiny silk fibers will instantly elongate stubby, brittle lashes. The mascara will glue the fibers to the tips of the lashes with each swipe, extending hair so it appears longer. Plus, polymers make lashes stay soft to prevent breakage. Dejavu Fiberwig 3D Mascara is a great product to try.
Sensitive Eyes
Shy away from waterproof mascara. Because it's waterproof, we often think that it's the best option if you're prone to itchy, watery eyes, but according to experts, it may actually be what's causing the irritation. That's because mascaras containing a water-resistant solvent are more likely to flake (which can scratch and inflame the eyes. It's best to opt for a natural formula made with flake-and-smudge proof plant waxes. One to try: Physicians Formula Organic Water Origin Mascara.
Thinning Lashes
Fuller lashes help the eyes appear bigger and lovelier. They also make the eyes look more defined and instantly lifted, but as we age, the three rows of lashes we're born with naturally diminish to a single row and lose their lush appearance. Choose a mascara infused with biotin and procapil to amp up your lashes volume. The combination encourages new lash growth and strengthens the roots of the lashes you already have. This type of mascara can make lashes appear 25 percent thicker after one month. Look for Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara if your battling thinning lashes.

Online Shopping Tips
Searching for gifts? Online shopping is the easiest, most convenient and fastest way to do it. If you're new at shopping online, here are some safe shopping tips.
Always trust your instincts. If you don't feel comfortable buying or giving out some personal information over the web, maybe online shopping is not for you.
If you're going to bid on auctions, make sure you are familiar with the policies and rules and legal terms so you know what you are getting yourself into.
Always check the pricing. When the prices are too good to be true, chances that those are fraud are great. You should also watch out if you are paying too much for a product. There are a lot of websites where you can compare prices so you'll have an idea how much an item costs.
Check the site's privacy policy. A secure site should have it because that's where you will input personal information before check out. If a site does not have a privacy policy page, don't do business with them. The safest way to pay when shopping online is through credit cards.
Once your order arrives, check the item. If you find a damage contact the seller immediately.

The Most Flattering Bras
It's shocking to know that over 80 percent of women wear the wrong bra size. And even if you have measured your breasts correctly, you'll find it difficult to find the right fit. Why? It's because the measurement system is wrong. And what complicates it even more, the size of one or both breasts can change throughout the years due to weight gain or loss and hormonal fluctuations related to pregnancy and menstrual cycle shifts. Notice how your breasts are fuller before and during your period?
Experts suggest measuring the fullness of each breast individually rather than the circumference of the rib cage. Once you know the size of each breast, finding the perfect fit would be a cinch. Below are some bra finds to flatter your boobs.
To Beat Extreme Sag
Look for a full-coverage bra with soft "blunted" cups (choose rounded rather than pointy). That would be perfect for those who need added support or those who have different-size breasts. The rounded shape extends the circumference of each cup so breast tissue settles evenly. You'll flatter your boobs even more if you choose styles with a high center gore (the piece of fabric that connects the cups and cradles cleavage) and thick straps that anchor to a peaked "leotard" back band because it offers additional support.
To Look Slimmer
The common cause of back fat is wearing a bra with too-tight band. If your band is too tight, the addition of a simple bra extender can help. So does a bra with an elastic-free band, or one in which the rubber is covered. This prevents the skin catches that create rolls. You may also look for front closures or long columns of hooks and eyes in the back, which ensure a smooth, continuous span across the back to ward off skin folds.

Vitamin B17 Can Prevent Cancer
According to experts, just 100 grams a day of amygdalin and laetrile are enough to keep cancer at bay. When combined, they are called vitamin B17. Nuts and fruit pits are the best sources of this. It's the first time I heard about it, but if you want to find out more you can click here for vitamin b17. I found it while browsing the internet for fruit pits that are apparently good for diabetes. The apricot kernels are bitter and research says you have to eat a few pieces a day to prevent cancer. Click to know more.

Protect Your Website with ESET Antivirus Security Software
Nothing is more annoying than having all your websites infected with a script virus. If you are a blogger or a website owner like me, you know what I'm saying.
A couple of weeks ago, from an unknown source and I don't know how it happened, a script virus penetrated the theme of one of my websites. What's more annoying is that the virus spread quickly and infected all the themes and domain names in that account. I regretted not having the ESET reseller security software because it took me several days to finally get rid of the troublesome script. Right after the virus was eliminated, I got the software to keep all my websites protected. I earn from blogging and I will not risk managing my sites without having a powerful security software to protect them.
