Online Shopping

I think I have a problem. Not a serious, 'need help' problem - although Kim Kardashian's family organized an intervention for her - it's just a small problem.

ONLINE SHOPPING

Okay, so ever since Cyber Monday started I think people realized this was truly effective. I have two favorite websites that I check daily with all the best sales/promotions/deals. I started with slickdeals.net. One of my roommates introduced this to me a couple of years ago and I've purchased a number of things that were listed on this site. They also have contests and coupons and the whole "shabang."

Next = dealsplus! Okay you really need to check out this website: http://dealspl.us/
I just recently stumbled across this one, and wow! Slickdeals x 20! Unfortunately, this has occasionally led me to buy things I don't need (another problem with online shopping).

Of course once you find the great deals, the next step is coupon codes. Many people have heard of RetailMeNot, which provides tons and tons of coupon codes! Combine your sale item with a coupon code and voila!

Okay, get shopping! :)

2010

Time to get back into the swing of things. New year, new attitude, new ways ...

Cyber Monday

Well, Cyber Monday was pretty unsuccessful for me today. I was browsing all day on a public wi-fi network, so I didn't buy anything. When I finally got home, the three things I really wanted were sold out - very disappointing!

My new beauty product obsession

Well, I've slowed my pace on the blog updates ... once again.
I thought I'd go with a different angle today - my current beauty product/hair care obsession: Sexy Hair Organics.
My mom is always trying new hair products and her latest finding was Sexy Hair. We used their original shampoo and conditioner, which wasn't all that - so the company recommended we try their "Soy Tri Wheat Leave -In Conditioner" (I know, what a mouth full.) This leave-in conditioner is absolutely amazing (and it's organic!) I'm been using Chi's Keratin Mist for as long as I can remember, but once introduced to this new fabulous product - I'm afraid I'm going to have to switch. I have nothing bad to say about Chi's product, but I do like Sexy Hair's product better. I suggest trying this leave-in to anyone who hasn't because it does wonders!

Hope you enjoy!

A poorly written cover letter

So, I was going through people's tweets on Twitter yesterday and came across @MarkRaganCEO. He posted a link to someone's take on a horribly written cover letter - so obviously I clicked.
This is what it led me to:
"Is This The Worst Cover Letter Ever?"

Okay - well, I have mixed feelings about this, as do most of the commenters.

As a recent college graduate myself, it's hard enough job searching and applying for jobs without the criticism.

What I've learned is that a cover letter is supposed to be about you and why you're the best candidate for the position you're applying for. Yes, you should always talk about the company & at least prove you did a little research, but not to the extent of "over-doing" it. I cringed when I saw that she didn't spell the company name right. Okay, I'll give the blogger that, but I think he went a little too far with his "constructive criticism."

As I read some of the comments at the bottom of this post - I agreed with the idea of him posting a "good" rewritten cover letter - one that would lead to the company considering the candidate for an interview. For the time & effort this person put into criticizing the cover letter, he could have written a cover letter which we could all refer to in our job-searching rather than what NOT to do.

To be honest - I never learned how to write a cover letter in school. They never taught us that. I used Google to figure out what a cover letter should consist of. I would benefit much more from a well written cover letter rather than this one.
