I’m excited to share with all of you that Something Smarter has just popped up from White Cloud!  Right now 900 Walmart stores throughout the country will be selling White Cloud Facial Tissues.  There are a few styles available:  2 ply, 3 ply supreme and even 3 ply supreme with lotion.  The  tissues come in various sizes including cubes, flats and even multi-packs – priced from $0.84 – $5.98.

Facial tissues come in generally two catetories — they are either in expensive decorated boxes with fancy over-engineered tissues which you feel too guilty to actualy use — or they are in ugly generic boxes which contain cost-saving tissues that scratch and burn.  So, what’s the answer?  Why not a tissue that actually looks great PLUS has tissues that work like they should! That is what White Cloud Facial Tissue has done — you get a premium quality tissue without breaking the bank!

I was lucky enough to get to try them and was so pleased!  They worked just as well as those that cost much more – and why pay more if you don’t have to?  I also loved the designs on the boxes – just really fun and different.  My kids thought they were pretty cool and to quote my seven year old “not boring!”  I guess that means they pass the kid test!!!!

To make it even more affordable, starting today, FEBRUARY 6th, you can try them for FREE!!!   Head over and grab a new coupon for Free White Cloud Facial Tissues with any Bathroom Tissue product purchase (while supplies last).  If you find that your store is not one of the 900 offering the tissues, you aren’t being left out.  You can find a coupon for a White Cloud Bath or Paper Towel product instead.

Five winners will each receive a prize package which contains 6 boxes of tissues –
3 Supreme and 3 Supreme with Lotion.
(boxes sent will be random designs)

Normally, when I shop for products, I am not that brand specific.  However, when it comes to milk, I am. It is usually because of the taste, but it also has to do with the fact that I always save money on our Roberts Dairy milk with their coupons, which makes it less expensive than the store brand.  And we all know I’m about saving money!

Not only can you find money saving coupons on their website, you might also want to check out their newest contest — a spa getaway for two!  It is part of their Healthy Body, Happy You promotion.  I know that a spa weekend sounds absolutely heavenly to me!  Head over here to enter — you can’t win if you don’t sign up!

Part of healthy diet includes eating foods such as Health Wise yogurts and YoPhoria smoothies, as well as the usual healthy products like milk, cottage cheese, yogurts, etc.   And — Roberts Dairy is going to help some of you get these for FREE

THE GIVEAWAY:

Three (3) readers will each receive a random supply of coupons for various Roberts Dairy Products!

(Please ensure you can purchase these where you live before you enter).

I am sure most everyone has heard the old adage – “There are two guarantees in life — death and taxes.”  For many, the though the mere thought of preparing their taxes themselves is as just as frightening as death itself.  However, there is really no reason to fear your taxes.

For the past 10 years, I’ve been using Turbo Tax to file our personal taxes.  I love that it just guides me step by step through it all.  It asks me every single question that should be addressed. I just fill in the blanks with the information from my records and it populates all of the forms, does the math and even checks for possible errors.

When it came time for me to prepare taxes for our business, I did get nervous.  This was something that I knew nothing about — other than the fact that I knew it would require me to prepare a Schedule C Form.   My husband and I continued using Turbo Tax — but had to purchase the Home & Business Edition.  Just as I expected, completing those forms was just as easy at the other ones.

The one thing we also always have done when using Turbo Tax is electronically file.  What is great about that is that your refund (if you are getting one) is usually in your checking account within a couple of weeks!  No waiting to mail your taxes and then wait for your check to arrive weeks later.  To be honest, our state return is usually deposited in 2 – 3 days after we file.  The turn around has been amazing.

If you are wanting to save money on your taxes, you should look into preparing them yourself.  With software like Turbo Tax, it really is easy to do!  You can find great deals on your tax software over at Office Depot!  The experts who work there can help you determine which software package you need to purchase, so that you do not get home with the wrong one in your hand.  Definitely check out the Turbo Tax deals at Office Depot!!

THE GIVEAWAY:

One reader will receive Turbo Tax Home & Business Software 2012 – courtesy of Office Depot®

It is not any secret that I love chocolate.  I mean LOVE chocolate.  It is a weakness of mine that I have had as long as I can remember.  Of course, it needs to be the good stuff — like Ghirardelli.  I have such a hard time turning it down – it is so delicious!

I recently tried their newest item Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk™  – and I found it to be better than the other products they sell.   I am not sure how they do it, but it seems to tantalize all of your taste buds as you eat it.  You honestly just have to try this yourself if you have a chance.

Part of indulgences includes upgrading your life.  In fact, for 2012 that is what Ghirardellii wants to know.  What do you plan to do to upgrade your life?  How do you use your little indulgences to help?   For example, you might take your lunch to work and indulge on premium chocolate as your indulgence — spend a little and save a little.

Over the next few weeks we will be posting tips from Jeanette Pavini, lifestyle expert and Marketwatch about upgrading your finances and lifestyle 2012 by adding small changes that don’t feel like you are cutting back, and then adding small indulgences to make you feel good. Whether you want to feel better about your relationships, your health or your career, she will show you how to focus on small changes that can turn an average experience into a sensual, enjoyable, satisfying one.  You can find out more on Facebook – so make sure you follow them to learn more!
