Preview of a New Coupon Site!

Coupon sites have been around for a while now and have helped many of us to save money on everything from groceries to vacations; and that’s why we love them! You probably have your favourite site that you go back to time and time again whether it to be to see the latest deals or to look for a coupon on a product you are going to buy anyway; that has to be the best feeling!

Most sites are pretty similar in their format and delivery of the coupons, discounts and deals. However, a new site is going to revolutionise the way people browse for the latest codes on the internet. Using its incredible software that no-one other than them will ever understand, they will know what products you are likely to want to save some money on and also show you the best deal or discount for that product rather than just the one last added to the database.

This new site is www.mydeals.com, a name that is very easy to remember as well! They are building a global coupon code site that will automatically suggest codes to people that are relevant to the country they are in. This is particularly helpful for the frugal Canadians among us; we no longer have to filter through sites to find the section that applies to us, instead the codes will find us as we land on the site! This solves one of the biggest complaints many people have about coupon and discount sides, the fact that they can be difficult to navigate show you products, services, stores or even whole industry’s that you would never even consider purchasing in! Relevance and usability has to be the unique selling point of My Deals that differentiates them from the crowd.

The coupon industry has grown hugely since the 2008 economic downturn that still rumbles on today and as a result, lots of sites and code sharing networks have been set up. The trend on the use of coupon sites is most definitely upwards and it is likely that the ‘credit crunch’ and subsequent recession has actually changed consumer behaviour in a way that will mean people are likely will naturally go to find a discount before they shop even when the economy has fully recovered. The bottom line is that for as long as retailers are benefiting from people like you and me using coupons, they will offer them and we can all save!

What would you like to see from coupon sites that would help you when you are browsing for codes? Any thoughts on the future of this industry? If you want a sneek preview of the My Deals site before it goes fully live to the public, click here.

Step Into Summer with Flawless Smooth Legs

Step Into Summer with Flawless Smooth Legs

Fashion Runway Coach and BIC^® Soleil^® Fabulous Legs Expert shares her tips and tricks on how to confidently step out in style

The temperature rising and trendy shorts, skirts and dresses making their debut can only mean one thing…summer is here! Canadian women are getting their bodies ready for summer and that includes getting their legs in flawlessly smooth shape.

To help women confidently wear this summer’s trendy fashion, BIC^® Soleil^® — the premium disposable shaver available with 3 or 4 flexible blades to give you an ultra smooth shave — is calling all Canadian women to celebrate self-confidence and set their fabulous legs free for summer.

“When I coach and prepare fashion models for the Canadian Catwalk, it’s essential they portray confidence and having smooth, clean legs that feel great is key when they walk the runway,” says Drea Vujovic, Project Runway Canada Model and one of Toronto’s most in demand Runway Coach’s. “Sleek, smooth legs paired with the summer’s trendiest footwear will provide shapely, strong and irresistibly beautiful legs all season long.”

Step Out in Style

To help women feel fabulous for less, Drea shares her insight on how different shoes influence the shape of your legs and offers advice on how to walk confidently into the summer season!

Fabulous Legs Tip # 1: The Heel

“My best kept secret for long, lean beautiful legs is a good pair of heels! Heels dramatically elongate your legs by creating the illusion of a beautiful continuous line — a front platform can also add height and comfort. Additionally, your leg muscles will appear more toned and defined because you’re working them out with every step!”

Fabulous Legs Tip # 2: The Wedge

“Soaring heels may not be suitable for everyone, so a good pair of high wedge shoes are a great solution. They’re super easy to walk in and a big trend for Summer!”

“Always remember to walk in wedges with a three step plan: heel, ball, toe. Also, don’t be afraid to stride. Whatever the length or shape of your legs, a bit of a longer step shows off your confidence and gives the illusion of longer legs.”

Fabulous Legs Tip # 3: The Skirt

“When it comes to skirts, go mini! A higher waist-line skirt with a belt will add inches to your legs when paired with any shoe, even a cute flat! Just remember to keep your legs smooth and fresh before showing them off.”

Savvy Summer Legs

BIC knows that having smooth skin that feels great helps women feel and look their best. With the help of BIC^® Soleil^® razors, including the new BIC^® Soleil^® Savvy™ that features a disposable handle and four refill cartridges, women can complement their lifestyle, without compromising beautiful skin. From the bustle of a pantyhose-free day at the office, to a relaxing afternoon on the beach and everything in between, BIC^® Soleil^® helps women feel confident and fabulous all summer long. BIC^® Soleil^® razors are available at most major drug stores and department stores across Canada ($5.99 - $7.99).

Avoiding Tax Fraud

Now that the tax season has officially ended for many of us it is the furthest thing from our mind. However, if you have failed to file your income tax or under represented your earnings, you could be facing some serious consequences which include criminal tax investigation which could result in criminal indictment and incarnation.


U.S tax fraud laws state that any person attempting to evade tax can be fined up to $250 000 dollars and face up to 5 years in prison. The same laws state that providing a fraudulent return may result in up to 3 years of incarceration and/or $250 000 fine. There are several related charges that can also be associated with income tax evasion. If you are faced with a criminal tax investigation it is best to hire professionals such as Fried & Rosefelt, LLC, which can help you understand your rights. 


Tax fraud is typically investigated by the Internal Revenue Services, Criminal Investigations Division. These are federal agents trained in law enforcement techniques; many are also Certified Professional Accountants. They will conduct an extensive investigation which will include the interviews of family, friends and business associates, as well as thorough review of your financial pages. Once the investigation is completed the special agent in charge can recommend prosecution at which time two more levels of review are conducted by the IRS before the case is forwarded to the United States Department of Justice Tax Division in Washington, D.C., where it is reviewed by federal prosecutors specializing in criminal tax violations, before it goes to trial. Throughout this extensive review process you and your lawyer have several opportunities to avoid criminal proceedings. At each stage your lawyer will have an opportunity to meet with government lawyers and try to convince them not to have a criminal case. Many times a lawyer can convince that it was just an innocent mistake. It is therefore extremely important to have an experienced council by your site as you navigate the water of tax fraud and tax evasion charges.


An experienced lawyer can make the difference between freedom and federal penitentiary.

Photos To Share

Wanted to share the photos I took yesterday of our driveway we fixed up with new limestone. Took Gerry a little over 2 hours to spread completely with the quad and then rake.

Wednesday-May 23

I seemed to have lost touch again with personal posts .Only takes a minute but sometimes other things are prioritizing me I guess.


We're getting anxious about our trip next Friday. Will be alot of sightseeing more than entertainment of this trip.


This past weekend was May long weekend here in Canada,( for those readers not living in Canada).We don't camp but around here, its all about the camping and fishing once the season starts warming up. Wait! It didn't warm up this past weekend. As a matter of a fact I still have had my furnace on.I do have the clothes line up outdoors though ,( Gerry takes it down every winter), so at least I'm saving some power there and can hang on the line. I should mention our washing machine and dryer stays busy all year long, as neither of our girls have a washing machine or dryer at their apts., nor does my gramma, so everyone does their laundry here. For granny, who is 90 this year, I pick up and delivery her laundry when it's done.


Weather hasn't been the greatest but when its not too windy or calling for rain, I'm out walking.


I'm having problems with my stomach inflammation again, but only because I stopped taking my pills for a few days. I was feeling better with taking them, but after being on them 3 months, I was ready to say;" see ya". Well, that caused some problems, so now now I'm back on them again, and going back to the doctor to make an appt to at least talk with the doctor who does the endoscopes. If anyone has had one of these done, please drop me a line- I'd love to discuss it with you.


We had a load of limestone delivered today.$115 with taxes for 5 yards I believe.Using it to build up the front driveway and put some in the back yard too. Now that Gerry has a quad with a blade, it will be easy for him to spread it.


Bought some plywood, etc. this past weekend as we are starting to replace skirting around the trailer. What we have on there now is getting rotten in spots and bent out of shape in other spots.Also getting some estimates done for our roof. Gerry is hoping to buy the materials on his own and just hire someone for the labour.They are curling up there so need to be replaced we were told. With bonus money he got from the company a few months ago, it can allow us to do a few of these things.


Also looking at putting in a small kitchen window by the sink and moving the cupboards around. We need some extra light in there. Gets darker in the kitchen with little natural light in there, in the winter. We'll have to see what we can get done. So many plans though, and want to keep costs at minimum- as always.
