Holiday Gift Guide: Aliens in the Attic

by nicolesnickels on November 30, 2009

They are home but they are not alone.  Prepare for the ultimate extraterrestrial invasion full of hilarious hijinks and outrageous mind control gags when Aliens In The Attic descends onto Blu-ray Disc (BD) and DVD November 3 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  It’s summer vacation, but the Pearson family kids are stuck at a boring lake house with their nerdy parents.  That is until feisty, little, green aliens crash-land on the roof, with plans to conquer the house AND Earth!  Using only their wits, courage and video game-playing skills, the youngsters must band together to defeat the aliens and save the world — but the toughest part might be keeping the whole thing a secret from their parents!

Holiday Gift Guide: Softlips Review & Giveaway

by nicolesnickels on November 30, 2009

I admitted my lip gloss addiction to you previously in a giveaway post and this post certainly reaffirms that.  I was excited to receive the new holiday winter flavors from Softlips along with some flavors from their new Pure line.  I love Softlips because of the way it leaves my lips (super soft) and the great flavors they come in!

Cyber Monday Shopping!

by nicolesnickels on November 30, 2009

I just can’t post ALL of the great cyber Monday deals that are out there but I wanted to remind everyone to use the cash back shopping sites that I blog about so frequently. Just sign up for all 4, then check to see which one offers the highest percentage cash back for the store you are shopping at! As an added benefit, these cash back shopping sites also include the coupon codes for the store you are shopping at so you don’t miss any potential savings!

If you’re not signed up with all 4 of these, you should do so now.  Each of them will give you $5 for signing up and then choose the one that offers the highest percentage cash back for you.

 Ebates - Double cash back at many stores, including Dell at 6%, Macy’s at 7%, and Old Navy at 10%

Shop at Home - Examples of increased cash back – Ulta at 16%, Aeropostale at 10%, and Barnes & Noble at 14%

Mr Rebates - Increased cash back at many sites such as Sephora at 10%, The Body Shop at 10%, and Staples at 2%

Cashbaq - Great additional cash back at many stores including 4$ at Buy.com, 6% at Lady Foot Locker, and 4% at Borders

Don’t forget to shop Amazon’s Cyber Mondaydeals also.  They have some fabulous lightening deals (act fast on those when it’s their time) and overall savings today as well.

Happy shopping!
