Skiing for Cheap!

Last week, my friend Alison went up to Mt. Baldy to hit the slopes. And I was super-jealous after she told me about her amazing time skiing. So in search of my Day of the Deal I found cheap Mt. Baldy lift tickets on SocialBuy.com - only $32 for 1 Weekday Lift Ticket from Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, which is normally $64. I'm going to take advantage of my Day of the Deal next Friday and take a mini-vacation from work. Not to mention that skiing is also a great workout and then I can curl up with a hot toddy in the evenings with my friends. Perfection! My Day of the Deal includes both a physical workout and a mental relaxation. Not to mention you can snowboard and there bunny slopes and also the highest vertical drop in all of California. Legit!

It's Never Too Early to Buy A Wedding Dress

There is not a more exciting day than your wedding, but weddings are expensive. So why not make your wedding day your supreme Day of the Deal? It may be early in your planning process, you may not even be engaged yet, or even found a possible husband. But all that is negligible if you have the perfect dress. So why not take advantage of the most fun Day of the Deal ever and go to the Joanna August sample sale, where you can buy off-the-rack wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. Yay wedding dresses for cheap! Yay Los Angeles weddings! It's on Saturday, so you have time to coerce your bestie to go. It's at 427 S. Lucerne Blvd., between W. Fourth & W. Fifth Street and it starts at 10 am. It's the best way to combine your special day with a Day of the Deal.

Red Velvet = Smiles

I have a major sweet tooth. I worship the Sugar God. And in LA, satiating that sweet tooth can get expensive. So about a year ago, I became an addict - to Sprinkles Red Velvet cupcakes. And at $4 a pop, that's a pretty expensive habit to pick up. So I went on a search for the Day of the Deal to cure myself of my addiction to overpriced cupcakes. And I found my Day of the Deal at the local Ralph's. It's funny because my friend had to coax me into trying the individually sliced red velvet cake from the bakery aisle. It changed my life. The moist, rich cake with the perfect cream cheese frosting. It was my birthday all over again. And it's like two bucks cheaper. Yes. Go me and my Day of the Deal.

Radical Deal at Radical Tan

Instead of a Day of the Deal, what if I propose a Week of the Deal? I just bought a voucher from SocialBuy.com for Radical Tan. For $20, you can go to Radical Tan every day for the week (you can only tan once every 24 hours, just FYI.) But the value is actually $69, so I'll be saving a lot; again, so much more of a Week of the Deal, instead of the Day of the Deal. After the last couple of weeks of rain and fog and just lack of sun in general, my skin needs a little push to look less like a zombie and more like I have been sunbathing in Antigua. Thus, I am happy for the opportunity to go to a clean and efficient place in SF and bask in warmth until I am less pale and have a glow that isn't pasted on with Bare Escentuals bronzer. I am very happy, indeed, with my Day of the Deal.

Music Mania: Local Natives

So sometimes the Day of the Deal doesn't have to be something you put on or eat. Sometimes, it can be something you just consume, like music. I just downloaded the Local Natives' Gorilla Manor on iTunes and at $7.99, it's made my Day of the Deal. Great music from an amazing band that I will now play on repeat until my iPod breaks down. I also like that they are going to be famous one day and I knew them before the whole world did. (I even worked with them in college - don't be jealous.) Sometimes Day of the Deal can be fleeting or superficial, but music is something that will last forever and after being inundated by "Bad Romance" for weeks on end, I need a change.

Eyes are the Window to the Soul...

So mine need to look bomb and preferably take advantage of the Day of the Deal. So I bought this voucher for Lash Lab in San Francisco for $50 worth of services for $25. Go Day of the Deal! Uh. Amazing. I went in and got the Wink-Wink treatment and I feel pretty, oh so pretty. Plus, Lash Lab is adorable and the employees are so attentive. I was in and out and felt perfectly pampered the whole time. And the best part is that I didn't have to spend a fortune with my Day of the Deal. I'm basking in my own thriftiness. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go bat my new lashes.

Yogurt = Happiness

Sometimes a Day of the Deal isn't some astronomical price cut on something that you kind of like or kind of need, but you take advantage of that Day of the Deal because it's there. But one of my go-to purchases that is always amazing is a trip to Yogurtland. They never have sales and their specials consist of a new flavors, but that doesn't stop them from making a Day of the Deal whenever I go. I can choose exactly whatever combination I want - flavors of yogurt, fruits and toppings. You can never go wrong and you can spend just as much as you want and you always feel satisfied. Yogurtland always makes a Day of the Deal.
