If you’re thinking of dyeing your hair for the occasion, we applaud your commitment to the role, but here are some reasons you might want to consider shelving those “temporary” hair color products and saving the Kool Aid for a Halloween punch.

It’s messy. In addition to staining your hands and forehead, you can ruin towels and clothing, even with the milder products. Even the spray on variety made especially for stage or costume use can be incredibly messy, both to apply and to remove. Some guides even suggest applying a layer of petroleum jelly around the hair line before beginning. Sorry, we’ll stick to grape jelly with our Kool Aid, thank you.

It’s hard to get the color right. Dye time varies from product to product and from head to head. Even people with the same or similar hair color to start may experience different dye times based on other hair characteristics. Folks who routinely dye their hair sometimes experiment quite a bit before they find the correct product and application regimen. You’ve little time left before Halloween for the trial and error required to get it right. Not only that, but if your hair is naturally dark, you’ll have limited choices when it comes to colors that will “take.”

A bad dye job, even with temporary products, won’t add much to the festivities. Remember too that those temporary products take awhile to wash out, and you might want to think about how you’ll look going in to work Monday morning with blue or pink or purple hair. Do you really want to look that exotic after Halloween?

It’s expensive. A box of hair dye costs the same or more for one use than a really killer costume wig or hat that you can use on multiple occasions. Especially for children, who may want to play dress up in their costume for more than just Halloween night, you get more bang for your hard-earned buck when you drop the dye in exchange for a cool wig or hat.

You’ll find that a well matched wig or hat will give you that dramatic change from your current hair style that is a knock-out finishing touch to your costume with a lot less trouble and mess than the dyes. Check out the incredibly variety they offer at BuyCostumes.com and save 12% on your purchase with our BuyCostumes Coupon.

Don’t curl up and dye this year. Get on out there and flip your wig!

Remember the scene from the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls where Sky and Sarah first meet? She sings about imagining her love as a solid, upstanding gentleman. She was obviously looking for compatibility. Sky, on the other hand, says he’ll leave it up to chemistry. Of course, both aspects end up playing a role in their eventual relationship.

That’s the idea behind Chemistry.com, the popular sister site to Match.com. Chemistry.com was founded on the belief that meaningful relationships are built on the two equally important foundations of compatibility and chemistry. Other sites may help you find out if you’re compatible, but Chemistry’s site is designed to help you find both of these elements.

Chemistry’s Chief Scientific Advisor is Dr. Helen Fisher, a world-renowned biological anthropologist and author. She has spent the last three decades researching the science of human attraction, and that’s why Chemistry recruited her to develop their personality profile.

After completing the personality profile to determine what ignites your chemistry, they’ll offer you up to 5 potential matches per day, and also notify you when another member is interested in getting to know you. You can then get to know your matches through a step-by-step introduction process called “1-2-3 MEET” where you select the questions and control the pace. Then, when you’re both ready, Chemistry will help you set up your first date.

You’re in control of the process from the very beginning and every step along the way, only revealing photos or other personal information when you feel comfortable doing so.

Find that person you’re made to have lasting chemistry with at Chemistry.com. You’ll save 25% off your membership with our Chemistry.com discount. Why not sign up today?

If you’re looking for reliable hosting, the ultimate in design and customization, powerful analytics and great advantages to get your website noticed, the Squarespace platform has everything you need. Here is just a quick summary of what they have to offer.

Reliable Hosting

All Squarespace sites are hosted on all of their web servers, not just a single server, so there’s no worry about a single server failing. A normal day for their server architecture sees tens of millions of hits, so if your site goes suddenly viral, you needn’t worry as you might with shared hosting elsewhere.

Squarespace’s data infrastructure relies on Peer1 Networks, for both connectivity and power sources. It’s a world class data center. Peer1 not only remained online during the NYC blackout a few years ago but they were actually able to lend their power to some neighbors in need.

Build Your Content

Pages and features in Squarespace are broken into blocks that you can snap together to build your site. For instance, building a photo gallery into your website is as easy as choosing the photo gallery module and adding it to your navigation. Add full drag and drop control and rapid on site editing, and you’ve got a single platform with infinite possibilities.

Enjoy A True Designer Look

Squarespace sites come with more than 60 style variants from professional brand name designers. Every style allows point and click control over every single element of the design. Templates contain a multitude of color and style variants, and each variant can be further refined and customized so your site will look completely unique. Since the style of the site is independent from the content you create, you can change styles without breaking anything. You can even design your own themes with a few clicks and see the changes in real time on your site. Top navigation variants, menus, columns on the page – arrange it all to your heart’s content.

Manage Your Site – Not The Software

At Squarespace, you’ll have complete and total control of every part of your site, at any time. You’ll also have all of the analytics you could possibly ever imagine, without third party tools or the need for analytics expertise. You’ll also never have to manage software updates, plug-ins, etc. Squarespace does all of that seamlessly and behind the scenes.

Squarespace Does It All

Squarespace is a completely managed website content, design and hosting system. They handle all of the details in setting up your site, so there’s no software to install and never anything to upgrade. Your site will weather the most massive barrages of traffic. They also use the latest in site optimization to ensure that your site is picked up by the search engines. When new features are deployed your site is always up to date automatically.

If you’d like to give it a try, you’ll save 12% for the lifetime of your account with our Squarespace Coupon Code. You can get more detail on how Squarespace works from their site.

It’s not easy, but it turns out that it is actually pretty simple. Here are the basic things to keep in mind as you begin your quest for permanent weight loss.

Exercise is key. Although a proper diet is obviously important to getting trim, nothing beats a regular habit of exercise to burn calories, boost metabolism and promote good cardiovascular health. It’s one of the most significant predictors of whether a person will have success in losing weight and keeping it off. A good start for those of us who aren’t already in the habit is a 30-minute walk, three days per week (working up slowly to five days per week). It’s also a good idea to eventually add some variety into the routine if possible, perhaps with some cycling, swimming or other aerobic activity. It’s important to check with your doctor, of course, before beginning a new exercise program.

In addition to this base of walking or other cardio activity, you might also eventually incorporate some strength training. You don’t have to lift heavy, since your goal isn’t to become a bench press champ. Even working out with lighter weights or doing basic calisthenics to build muscle will help. The more muscle tissue you build, the more calories your body must burn to maintain it. In one recent study, women who added strength training exercises to their diet and exercise regimen lost 44% more fat than those who only dieted. The real plus here is that with a little extra muscle building, you’ll be burning calories at a higher rate even when you’re resting. Pretty cool, eh?

Take it slow. The more quickly weight is lost, the more likely it is to be from loss of muscle and water. We want to lose the fat, and that happens more slowly. For most people an average of 1 or 2 pounds a week is about right. Chances are the weight gain didn’t happen overnight, so don’t expect it to come off overnight. Rapid weight loss is not usually sustainable, and not particularly healthy. If you reduce your food intake by only 250 calories a day (less than a single donut or muffin) from what is needed to maintain your current weight, and also start expending 250 more calories a day in exercise, that totals 3500 calories every week. Guess what – that’s the precise amount needed to lose one pound. Do that, week in and week out, and you’ve lost 15 pounds over the next three months, and a whopping 50 pounds by this time next year. Remember that “slow and steady” wins the race.

One more tip: eat slow. Take smaller bites and take your time to really enjoy and savor your food. It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to realize that your body is full, so if you rush through your meal you may eat more than you want or need in order to feel satisfied.

There’s no particular magic spell to help achieve weight loss for most of us. It’s a consistent program of increasing calories burned through activity, and limiting calories taken in at mealtime. Many people find that a structured meal plan such as those available from Nutrisystem helps. If you’d like to try Nutrisystem, take advantage of our Nutrisystem Coupons for savings of $25 off your first order.

If you haven’t taken a look at the Thrifty Car Rental website lately, you might be surprised by the many new features they added this year, making it more convenient to find what your looking for. Here are some of the things they’ve done to enhance the experience of customers who prefer to book online.

1) They’ve improved the way vehicles are displayed on the site. The “Our Cars” section now includes Flash images of vehicles complete with a 360-degree view for domestic vehicles. You can select from exterior or interior views, and you’ll also see a comprehensive list of car features. They also note both passenger and luggage capacity and fuel efficiency ratings for all of the vehicles in the fleet.

2) Location search at Thrifty.com now uses predictive text. With as little as three letters entered, the site will show suggestions for city and locations. This cuts down on the time it will take you to find the Thrifty location you need. Also, once you select a preferred location, you’ll be able to easily view all of Thrifty’s nearby locations, and see interactive maps for each specific location.

3) They’ve also improved the “Specials” section on the site. You’ll be able to sort promotional offers by specific location, domestic or international, and easily find deals that are offered in conjunction with airline, hotel and other partners.

4) Rates are updated and displayed in real time. As you add or remove options like child safety seats or GPS navigational systems, the rates are automatically recalculated as you go.

5) Overall, the site has been streamlined and refined so that you can speed through the selection and reservation process faster than ever before.

Charlie Coniglio, Vice President of Marketing and eCommerce at Thrify said that their goal is to provide consumers with as much information up front as possible so they can make the best car rental decision, while at the same time optimizing and cutting out the clutter to offer a customer experience that is second to none.

Check out the new Thrifty.com! While you’re at it, remember to use our Thrifty Coupon when you’re ready to book your vehicle for 10% savings on your reservation.
