noreply@blogger.com (Shakira Brown) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:55:00 +0000

It's a well-known fact that Valerie Bertinelli, the screen actress and #1 NY Times bestselling author has lost over 40 pounds and has transformed her body into a toned and fit picture of health. What is less known is that she, like countless other women and men across the country, achieved her new physique by working out in her living room. Wanting to share both that experience and the fitness routine with other health-and-wellness compatriots, Valerie, along with her personal trainer Christopher Ross Lane, lead a new DVD (on-sale NOW), Losing It and Keeping Fit!.

Valerie shows by example how a personal exercise plan, in addition to a proper diet, is vital to overall well-being. According to Bertinelli (who just completed her first half-marathon in just over 2 hours), "My weight loss and fitness experience has been so positive in every way. And there are no celebrity secrets to it! If I can do it, anyone can and I'm so happy that, with Christopher, I can inspire others to get healthy and to maintain that health and wellness!"

The 60-minute workout DVD contains two full-length workouts designed to help reach one's weight loss goals and keep fit. In the 20-minute beginner's routine, "Losing it: Body Basics," the viewer will work their whole body, using just body weight. Movements will tone hips, legs, tummy and arms. This routine is accessible to everyone. When ready, the next step is the "Keeping Fit: Bikini Ready" workout. Train in only 40 minutes, with toning exercises and cardio bursts to help firm up and sculpt sexy muscles. Hand weights are used in this routine. Also included is a bonus segment called "Bikini Abs Sculpting" that works to tighten and tone the mid-section.

Travel Website Helps Holiday Travelers Find Best Private Spaces in U.S. Airports

When delayed at the airport, most holiday travelers crave a comfortable chair, an electrical outlet, or simply a quiet place to get some last minute work done. In fact, a recent survey found that 92 percent of travelers wish airports offered private spaces allowing them to get work done and relax while waiting to board flights.

Realizing these areas exist but are often hard to locate in busy airports, 3M Privacy Filters is introducing a mobile compatible version of its travel website AirportPrivacyHavens.com (formerly AirportHavens.com) so holiday travelers can easily locate the best private spaces at their airport - right from the airport on their smartphone.

From deserted airport gates to serene chapels and meditation rooms, AirportPrivacyHavens.com contains an extensive collection of the best places to find privacy, get work done or simply relax at airports across the U.S. Frequent business travelers and road warriors helped 3M create the travel website by contributing their insider secrets to help their fellow travelers. 3M continues to seek new airport privacy havens and encourages travelers to submit their suggestions at the website.

For this November only, 3M Privacy Filters will create three Airport Privacy Havens in some of the busiest U.S. airports where privacy is needed most:

•Chicago O'Hare International: Terminal 2 near entrance to concourses E & F (Nov. 1st - Dec. 1st)
•Dallas-Fort Worth International: Terminal C near Gates 2 and 3 (Nov. 1st - Dec. 1st)
•John F Kennedy International Airport in New York: Terminal 8 near entrance to American Airline's Admiral Club (Nov. 10th - Dec. 7th)

Each Airport Privacy Haven will offer travelers comfortable, private seating and electrical outlets throughout the month of November along with special services during the busiest days of the Thanksgiving travel season. On November 24-25 and November 28-29, 2009 from 8 am to 5 pm, travelers who visit the havens will enjoy free massages and complimentary Wi-Fi access.(2)

Stay Safe From Identity Theft

noreply@blogger.com (Shakira Brown) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 02:44:00 +0000

Your good name could be worth more than you might realize.

Last year, nearly 10 million Americans were victims of identity theft at an average cost of nearly $500 per person, according to the 2009 Javelin Strategy and Research survey. The Federal Trade Commission reports that identity theft was the nation's leading consumer complaint in 2008.

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal identifying information-such as a Social Security number or credit card number-without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes, such as applying for a credit card or a home loan in your name. Fortunately, there are ways to protect yourself. ARAG, a global leader of legal insurance, offers these tips:

Find Yourself

You might know to contact the major consumer reporting companies-Equifax, Experian and TransUnion-to get a free copy of your credit report each year to check for errors, inquiries and accounts that you did not open, but you should also be aware of your "online exposure." Type your name into an Internet search engine and see what comes up. If you determine someone is using your name fraudulently online, you have recourse. Contact site administrators about immediately correcting or removing the incorrect or offending information.

Watch Your Wallet or Purse

Keep your wallet or purse in a safe place at all times. When you are out in public, carry them on your person and do not leave them unattended.

Limit Your Load

Carry only the personal identification, credit cards and debit cards that you need. Store little-used identification and cards in a secure location. Also, keep your Social Security card in a secure place and give out your SSN only when absolutely required.

Take Action

It's important to act quickly if you suspect identity theft has occurred. Place a "Fraud Alert" on your credit reports and carefully review the reports. Close any accounts that have been compromised. File a police report to help with creditors who might want proof.

Check out this Consumer News Alert for more information and a Government report on how the IRS is havinging trouble detecting identity theft tax refunds.

How To Save Energy, Water And Money

noreply@blogger.com (Shakira Brown) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 12:59:00 +0000

If you've had your refrigerator, freezer or clothes washer since before your teenagers were in diapers, those old appliances may be wasting your hard-earned money.

Saving money and energy may be easier than you think. Compared to a new, Energy Star-qualified model:

• A washer 10 years old or older uses 30 more gallons of water each time you do a load of laundry. That's about as much water as you'd use taking two showers. It also costs $145 more in electricity and water each year.

• A refrigerator 16 years old or older wastes at least $100 a year in electricity.

• If your freezer was built in the 1970s, it costs four times more to operate.

It may pay not to wait until these energy and water hogs break, but to save water and energy by replacing them now.

When you do shop for a new unit, look for the blue Energy Star label. Every major appliance manufacturer sells qualified refrigerators, which must be at least 20 percent more efficient than the minimum federal energy standard, and qualified freezers, which must be at least 10 percent more efficient. Qualified clothes washers are 40 percent more energy and water efficient than the minimum federal energy standard.

If you're buying a new unit, you may also be able to take advantage of rebates on new energy-efficient appliances through federal stimulus funds. Once you have your new appliances, be sure to recycle the old ones properly. Not only is it good for the environment, it could be good for your wallet. Some companies and others may pay you to do so.

Visit www.energystar.gov/recycle to find recycling options and learn about rebates and special deals.Labor Day HOT APPLIANCE SALE 9/4-9/8!

New appliances can be so much more efficient than older ones that they pay for themselves in a few years.

Teens Can Win $10k in Book Contest

noreply@blogger.com (Shakira Brown) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 00:35:00 +0000

Teen Readers Cash In
A teen's love of reading could pay off in more ways than you might expect.

A new sweepstakes lets young readers enter to win a $10,000 grand prize as well as daily giveaways inspired by some popular teen titles.

It marks the release of a new book, Intertwined, written specifically for young adults. Written by New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter, the supernatural thriller, published by Harlequin TEEN, a new fiction imprint, tells the story of a teenager who has four souls living inside him-each with a special power. When he moves to a new town and discovers vampires, zombies and werewolves-creatures he never dreamed existed-he's excited at first but soon realizes that his life and all his souls are in mortal danger.

Harlequin TEEN features teen protagonists exclusively, something the renowned romance publisher has not traditionally done. Up until now, young readers had to "read up" to the editorial. Now they will find themselves in their own element with themes that suit their personal interests such as the paranormal, fantasy and science fiction. The Web site, www.harlequinTEEN.com, offers excerpts from new titles as well as sections for posting reviews and watching book trailers.

Teens can register at www. intertwinedthebook.com in order to enter. The contest, which may be entered daily, concludes November 16, 2009. Daily instant prizes include copies of other titles as well as TEEN T-shirts.

Fashion Bargains You Can Take To The Bank

noreply@blogger.com (Shakira Brown) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 00:11:00 +0000

MONEY SAVING IDEAS

If you've been wondering what's new in fashion, here are two trends that budget-conscious fashionistas may welcome: new, lower prices overall and a sizing system that does not charge more for larger sizes.

Lower Prices

Any woman who has had to cut back on her spending lately may be pleasantly surprised the next time she shops for clothes.

Stores such as Fashion Bug now feature prices as much as $5 or even $10 lower than last year for the same or similar styles. Find Labor Day Specials on Clearance Items Like $4 Tops, $7 Bottoms and Even More at FashionBug.com! Valid 9-04-09 through 9-07-09.

Responding to the economy and in an effort to pass the savings on to customers, the store has revamped its business model and streamlined its operations.

As a result, the store's everyday prices are like sales prices at most other stores.

One thing it has not skimped on is design. The store now has an in-house fashion design team, led by veteran retail design diva Kady Dalrymple.

New designs focus on outfitting, including accessories to make it easier for busy women to build their wardrobes head to toe.

One Size Range

Virtually every store in America offers a separate size range and assortment for misses and plus. Fortunately, Fashion Bug, for example, is changing that.

Misses and plus customers now have a wider selection of styles in one size range from 6 to 30. And they never pay more for a larger size, a claim many other stores cannot make.

It's a welcome change for women who love to shop, making it easier to look stylish without breaking the bank. The store offers clothing for work, casual, active and dressy lifestyles.

Showing Support In Style - Swarovski for Breast Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (Shakira Brown) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:16:00 +0000

Women across the country now have a sparkling opportunity to show their support for the fight against breast cancer.

Swarovski will donate 10 percent of sales of its new collection of fashion accessories to a yoga program for survivors of the disease. The classes address the women's specific needs and physical restrictions, while also providing them the opportunity to bond with other women who have had similar experiences.

Called The Libby Ross Foundation's Yoga Program for Breast Cancer Survivors, it's offered free and will be supported in part by the breast cancer awareness collection from Swarovski, the iconic fashion jewelry designer.

The collection includes the pink Erika pendant, the pink Power bag, the pink Glam car holder, and a pink heart-shaped brooch. All the pink products will be available at the designer's 205 boutiques, authorized Swarovski retailers and on www.swarovski.com.

According to the American Cancer Society, a woman's chance of developing invasive breast cancer is about 1 in 8, and more than 192,000 new cases of the disease are expected to be diagnosed this year. Initiatives similar to the yoga program can help survivors physically and psychologically, and can be an important key to leading happier, healthier lives.

Tech Checklist For School Success And Savings

noreply@blogger.com (Shakira Brown) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:26:00 +0000

At school, at home, on the road and in between, technology is changing the way students study and the way teachers teach.

A recent study by the National Retail Federation found nearly half of U.S. parents plan to spend less this year on school supplies than in years past. Four out of five respondents intend to seek out better deals and bigger discounts to spread their shopping dollars. Still, spending on electronics and computer equipment is expected to increase more than 10 percent.

Electronic gear has become essential for students, so parents need to know how to pick the gadgets their kids really need without breaking the bank. Keeping up with technology is a tough task, but these tips will help you focus on what's most important and where to seek savings:

• Tip 1: Prioritize--It can be difficult to choose between what's necessary and what's nice to have. Some must-haves to accompany a new computer purchase include blank CDs, USB flash storage drives, headphones and a mouse such as the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 6-BA Series, which is available in a variety of vibrant colors at Target ($24.99-$29.99).

• Tip 2: Do your research--Plan ahead, watch the weekly circulars and keep an eye out for coupons and sales on the items you need. Also, shop on select sales tax holidays when possible. Items such as school supplies, clothing and footwear, books and computers may be available tax-free on certain dates.

• Tip 3: Shop smart--Do your research online so you'll know where to find the best deals, and take advantage of free shipping to save on Web purchases. Plus, some products are online exclusives, such as the ASUS 8GB Netbook with Windows XP at Target.com ($279.99).

• Tip 4: Make one list for everything--You don't need to search all over town or visit specialty stores for each item on your list. Do your research, compile your list and reserve one afternoon for one comprehensive school shopping excursion.

•Tip 5: Get multifunction devices--Purchase items that fulfill multiple needs and take the place of multiple gadgets, such as the Epson AIO 3-in-1 printer, scanner and copier ($29.99).

Keep these tips in mind to keep more money in your wallet and give your youngster a head start for back-to-school success.

Travel Deal: JetBlue Airways Offers PETCO Customers a 50 Percent Discount (a) on Travel Fees for Pets

noreply@blogger.com (Shakira Brown) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 18:49:00 +0000

PETCO customers can obtain the special promotional code at any store location or by visiting www.petco.com/jetblue for savings on travel booked by August 31(a) -

Pet furiendly JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU) is pleased to announce a special 50 percent discount (a) on the airline's standard JetPaws(TM) pet fee of $100 each way for PETCO's jet setting, four-legged customers this September. To receive the discount, flights must be booked between Aug 1, 2009 and Aug 31, 2009 for travel between Sept 1, 2009 and Sept 30, 2009 by calling 800-JETBLUE (538-2583) (a). The special promotional code can be obtained at any of PETCO's more than 950 stores across the country or by visiting www.petco.com/letsgo.

JetPaws(TM) is JetBlue's exclusive in-cabin program designed to provide pet owners with helpful Travel Pettiquette guidelines, which outline the social graces of jetting with small dogs and cats. As part of the program, customers also receive two bonus award points for each flight through JetBlue's TrueBlue customer loyalty program, helping two-legged customers earn free travel faster when traveling with Fido or Fluffy.

As part of this new relationship, PETCO will also sell JetBlue's unique, custom-made pet carrier co-designed by Cindy Adams, celebrated New York Post columnist, ASPCA board member and founder of Jazzy Park Avenue Dog products. The JetPaws Pet Carrier will be available in more than 950 PETCO stores across the country and will continue to be available online at jetblue.com. More information about the carrier and JetPaws program can be found at www.jetblue.com/jetpaws.

JetBlue accepts up to four small cats or dogs in the cabin of the aircraft on both domestic and international flights. The combined weight of the pet and carrier may not exceed 20 pounds. Only one pet is allowed per customer and the pet carrier does count as one personal carry-on item. For the safety and comfort of all customers, pets must remain in a closed carrier at the airport and in-flight for the entire duration of the trip. To book a pet, customers must call our reservations team at 1-800-JETBLUE.

Does the IRS Owe You Money?

noreply@blogger.com (Shakira Brown) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:11:00 +0000

Check out this money tip from IRS.gov newslettter:

Who couldn’t use a little extra cash this summer! The IRS may have some money for you.

If you have not filed a prior year tax return and are due a refund, you should consider filing the return to claim that refund. If you are missing a refund for a previously filed tax return, you should contact the IRS to check the status of your refund and confirm your current address.

Unclaimed Refunds

Some people may have had taxes withheld from their wages but were not required to file a tax return because they had too little income. Others may not have had any tax withheld but would be eligible for the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit.
To collect this money a return must be filed with the IRS no later than three years from the due date of the return. If no return is filed to claim the refund within three years, the money becomes the property of the U.S. Treasury.
There is no penalty assessed by the IRS for filing a late return qualifying for a refund.

Current and prior year tax forms and instructions are available on the Forms and Publications web page of IRS.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).
Information about the Earned Income Tax Credit and how to claim it is also available on IRS.gov.

Undeliverable Refunds
Were you expecting a refund check but didn't get it?
Refund checks are mailed to your last known address. Checks are returned to the IRS if you move without notifying the IRS or the U.S. Postal Service.
You may be able to update your address with the IRS on the “Where’s My Refund?” feature available on IRS.gov. You will be prompted to provide an updated address if there is an undeliverable check outstanding within the last 12 months.
You can also ensure the IRS has your correct address by filing Form 8822, Change of Address, which is available on IRS.gov or can be ordered by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

If you do not have access to the Internet and think you may be missing a refund, you should first check your records or contact your tax preparer. If your refund information appears correct, call the IRS toll-free assistance line at 800-829-1040 to check the status of your refund and confirm your address.
