Make Your Dog's Day

I work a lot and it sucks. But it probably sucks more for my dog, who is an incredibly sweet and crazily energetic lab. I've been hiring dog walkers on and off, especially when things get hectic at work, so I was really excited when my co-worker sent me a link to SocialBuy's newest Day of the Deal from Your Dog's Best Friend, which is a dog training/walking practice. So now my dog will get her day of the deal with the voucher I just bought which is $50 for a Consultation and 5 Dog Walkings from Your Dog's Best Friend. This day of the deal would actually cost $125, so this is a pretty legit deal, and I can feel a little less guilty about leaving for work every morning.

Chillin with the Children

I babysit and nanny a lot and I'm always looking for a Day of the Deal that can amuse the kids at a cheap cost. I just found this deal online at SocialBuy.com: $25 for admission for five to the Bay Area Discovery Museum ($50 Value.) So this place is located at the bottom of the Golden Gate Bridge in a national forest and is an indoor/outdoor museum/playground/interactive education place for kids. It's amazing and allows the kids to really shape their own experience, not to mention that the views of the Bridge are spectacular. There are science exhibits, performances, and hands-on art studios. You can seriously let the kids run free for this Day of the Deal and just chill out and watch them have fun. Check out this Day of the Deal at SocialBuy.com

The Joys of Looking Good for Cheap

OMG you love me. Obvs. And here is another reason to love me. On the Day of the Deal, which is going to be April 14 or 15, if you go to an Ulta salon in San Francisco or Los Angeles and purchase the a Silky and Straight or Full Blown Volume product, you get a complimentary blowout. And if you buy two Fekkai products on this Day of the Deal, you get a sample of glossing cream and a blowout. You'll look fab and get great products. You can find locations for Ulta salons by going to Ulta.com. You can thank me later.

Music and Beer = My Dream Date

So summer is coming. And that means it's time to blast the music and have a drink outside. So for my Day of the Deal, I'm checking out Tributefest On May 1 and SocialBuy is offering a deal for only $20 for an admission ticket, which is a $40 value. The people who are putting it on are the same people who put on the Los Angeles Sake Festival, Septemberfest, the Orange County Beer Festival and the Los Angeles BBQ Festival. Talk about legit. This Day of the Deal is featuring tributes to Sublime, Dave Matthews Band, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, The Who, Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Queen, U2, Beatles and Aerosmith. The Tributefest is at the Santa Clarita Central Park - the perfect location to enjoy one or more of the 30 beers on tap.

Get Cultured at the Hammer

I love getting cultured. And I love getting cultured for free - which is why I love the Hammer Museum in Westwood, because all their programs are free. For my Day of the Deal this week, I am attending a documentary screening on April 1 and following the screening, there is a Q and A with the director, which is always super-interesting. This week, "What's On Your Plate?", directed by award-winning Catherine Gund, covers kids and food politics in the New York city area. In the wake of "In the Defense of Food" and "Super-Size Me," this hot topic deserves our attention, and this documentary is supposed to be clever and funny. I'm so excited to check it out and hear the director's thoughts, not to mention that the Hammer has a great happy hour. (I love when my Day of the Deal includes alcohol - love it.) That is why the Hammer Museum always has a spot for my Day of the Deal.

Have Some Ghostly Fun!

I just need a pick-me-up. Something fun to look forward to. Something random. Something memorable. For my Day of the Deal, I could fly to Paris or I could do something a little closer to home. I found a deal on SocialBuy.com for an admission to the San Francisco Chinatown Ghost tours for $15, and it is normally $24. It was voted #1 for "Favorite Things to do in San Francisco." You are led through Chinatown by lamplight by a very experienced guide and it's super-creepy and fun, but also fascinating. It's a great activity to take your friends on when they come to visit - and with SocialBuy.com, it's a Day of the Deal! When you think Chinatown, I don't think the culture and history of Chinatown usually come up, which is why this is such an amazing Day of the Deal to take advantage of.

A Sports Deal You Can't Miss Out On!

Oh the Day of the Deal. Sometimes you find one so good, that it will literally make you the coolest person around. Like the Day of the Deal on SocialBuy.com where you can buy a VIP Suite 3-Game Package at the Staples Center for only $300 ($975 value). They're box seat tickets, so... the really nice ones. And these are legit games – like the LA Lakers game on March 21, the Kings game on April 13 and the Clippers game on April 12. Three amazing games in three weeks. That will help me meet my quota of a fun month. You can also get pre-game photos on the ice at the Kings game and other strange-but-nice perks. I mean, this is an AMAZING DEAL. It would make a great gift and you’re saving hundreds to dollars, HUNDREDS. What more could you ask for? (With the exception of meeting Khloe Kardashian at the Lakers game?) Go get your Day of the Deal!
