Some facts you didn’t know about air conditioning:

1. Air conditioning uses more electricity than you would expect:  it can account for up to 70% of your total electricity bill, depending on how much you use the system, of course.
2. Ceiling fans and proper insulation of the house are simple and surprisingly cheaper ways to keep your house cool during the summer.
3. Numbers to put the waste and energy of AC into perspective:  A central air-conditioning system uses about 3500 watts per hour of energy.  A window unit AC of medium size uses about 900 watts per hour (don’t forget to multiply this by how many units you’re planning on using throughout your home).  A ceiling fan uses 75 watts per hour.  Think of all the money you could save!

Some top fans to purchase for the season:

Ceiling Fans: requiring a bit of installation, these fans are best because, as we all learned back in kindergarten, heat rises.  Ceiling fans are up there with the heat and will get it moving out of your house much more effectively and efficiently than floor fans.  Consider the thrifty Westinghouse Lighting - Industrial 56″ Ceiling Fan in Brushed Nickel at a sale price of $73.05, marked down from $123.  Just as effective of a product, but you already start with almost $49.95 of savings!

Floor Fans:  If you’re living in an apartment or a beach house for just a few days or weeks, you clearly don’t want to go through the trouble of installing a ceiling fan.  Your next best bet is a floor fan, like this Honeywell HFS641P 16-Inch Remote Control Stand Fan.  At just $39.88, you save $5 from original price and still get a wonderful product.

Desk Fans:  For the students in the dorms who need something blasted right at their face and don’t have room/money for the floor fans (here here!!), a tabletop desk fan is sure to please.  At only $15.50, the 4 Personal Two-Speed Desktop Personal Fan is an absolute steal of a fan.

Ahh, but there are some lessons you learn early and quickly in life. If I had a nickel for all the times I toweled off with a dark cheap towel only to leave my freshly bathed body with hundreds of tiny flecks of lint!

Well never let it be said that I don’t learn from my mistakes. I still don’t feel comfortable paying too much for towels but I do now take into consideration the quality of the towels.

Prism Towels by Christy from Bloomingdale’s are great bath towels. They are extremely absorbent and stylish to boot. They have a hemmed edge with signature dobby, they are simple and elegant and can adorn any bathroom. Constructed from 100% zero-twist cotton.

Originally $20.00 On Sale for $14.99

Over the years, dishes are bound to crack, cups are bound to break, matching saucers go missing..

What was once a full set of pristine dinnerware is now a motley crew of mis-matched plates, glasses and assorted coasters. Ha! At least that’s what my cupboard looks like. I can’t be the only one, can I?

Well I thought to myself, time for a new set of dinnerware. Need to refresh the cupboard with fresh troops. And this time around since I know from experience that things will break or go missing I am going to stick to solid colors and no themes! That way when the new set starts to dwindle it will be easy to buy a new set that will match the last.

I have decided on white, I like white. It’s clean, it’s universal and it’s classy. Check out this great deal I found at Cooking.com.

Corelle Square dinnerware features sleek squared shapes with rounded corners and flared rims which fuse seamlessly with the traditional rounded centers. The result is a totally fresh, yet timeless look—versatile enough for every day dining as well as for entertaining. Corelle Ultra dinnerware has all the legendary properties of durability and versatility as the original product line but now with a heavier weight and feel that some people prefer.

In addition to being a beautiful and quality set, here comes my favorite part - namely the price!

Was $82.99 NOW $64.95 (you save $18.04)

PLUS COUPON ALERT:

Use coupon code:  C95925 to receive shipping costs of only $5.99 regardless of size of order.

Don’t act like you have never peeked into a potential dates medicine cabinet! There is just something so enticing about checking it out, and might I add if you have potentially embarrassing medications stocked in there, move it to your private bathroom. What are they doing lounging about in the main hall restroom.

Well I digress, I am in need of a new medicine cabinet. The one currently residing in the guest bath is hanging on for dear life. Well I have always liked the furniture at Restoration Hardware and I always peruse their Sale section.
