It has been years since I have heard about a Kmart Bluelight special. I remember being a little kid and shopping in Kmart with me Mom and having someone come on the intercom and tell you that they were having a blue light special on isle 3 in house wares and that you could get something for 20% to 50% off. I used to love watching the blue lights turn on, on top of the isles. It was always a neat experience.

They are not going to be bringing the Blue Light Special back for all time but they will be doing it on the 15^th of August that’s this coming Saturday, from what I have been able to find out its going to be on patio furniture, grills and jewelry all at bluelight special prices. Plus they will be having specials on Kmart.com as well.

if you follow Kmart on Twitter you will be able to see all the different items. Here is a short list:

* Kids Backpacks (Athletech, Route 66 and Licensed) reg. $19.99 – Bluelight $8!
* American Fare Vita-Water 2 for $1
* All Patio Furniture 70% off! (+ an extra 20% off during bluelight!)
* 70 count Notebooks – Buy 2 Get 1 Free
* Diamond Jewelry extra 10% (Diamonds are already 70% off this week!)

I love watching tv when I can find a program that really brings the subject matter to life. I have heard online that they say it’s the the truTV effect. Most of the shows that do this are on the truTV network. I love to watch there shows they make me feel really kind of weird some times. They even have truTV video that you can share with your friends if you watch something that you truly have a reaction to. Once you start watching this channel you will never want to watch anything else again. 

You have to really kind of make sure you have a cast iron stomach for some of there shows they are so real that they have made me physically ill sometimes with the images that they have shown. I really like the forensic shows but I have to close my eyes well watching it sometimes.  They have other shows that are just amusing since they have to fuzz out people’s butts and other parts.  They have some shows like wildest police chases and man vs cartoon.

So if you are looking for something different that is not  fake reality tv check out truTV for the real action.

Sears is having a CampusReady sale. You can shop for all your dorm room needs.

In addition they also have some financial planning tips, so you don’t go over budget. In looking closely at the site I also noticed that they have a link to apparel since most kids are going to be heading off to a different climate. I know I did that, I graduated from High School and moved to Arizona so I had to replace my whole wardrobe.

We had vegan enchiladas last night. I think they were really good. We followed the recipe this time and we were talking after dinner was over and we all agreed that we need to change it up a little in order to fit our tastes a little better. We were thinking we should add a little white onion and olives since the recipe just had spinach and mushrooms and hash browns. Those are all really good things but the flavor was just a little lacking the enchilada sauce was really good and over all I would give them a three and one half stars but I think we could make this a five star meal if we just changed it up a little.

My Fiancée has been reading a bunch of Eye Cream Reviews. She is looking to find a product that she feels will be able to slow or halt the aging process around her eyes. She has been looking into getting a couple of samples for a few products that she likes. But with all the new stuff coming on the market it is hard to keep up with what is out there. I think she reads one or two articles a week on a new product that has hit the market. She was reading on eyecream.com about some of the ingredients you need to look for in your eye cream like “Retinol A” since that is one of the active ingredients that will help slow the aging process.

My Fiancée and I are going to be doing the “Engine 2 Diet” we basically started last Friday. We have been trying some different recipes from the book. We are going to be having Vegan Enchiladas tonight. It has mushrooms and spinach and the weird part is that they are not rolled you make this dish more like a Lasagna in that you layer all the ingredients. Since we are trying to do the healthy thing I made the enchilada sauce from scratch on Sunday and instead of using chicken broth I made a vegetable broth. When I was done it smelled really good. I was a little bummed that I did not have anything to pour the sauce over in order to try it right then and there.

We have been talking about having our first baby, I’m kind of looking forward to it and I have been reading up online and I keep seeing the name Cryo-Cell pop up on some of the forums. I guess the big new thing is to store some of the cord blood from when you have a baby and then freeze it so in case you need to have stem cells later on in life you would be able to use them from this frozen blood. I guess there are over 75 diseases that you can fight with this blood.

Cryo-Cell is having a promotion they are one of the leading companies that specialize storing cord blood. They have a promotion right now where it only cost $995 for processing, testing and first year of storage plus the cancellation fee is waived. This is for the "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" plans that they offer you can use promotion code 995PS by midnight Sunday, July 26th to get the special pricing.

Overall I think this is a great idea, I need to do a little more research and see if it is better to do this if you have chronic diseases that run in the family or if it is just something that everyone should be doing these days.
