There are some great deals on Zulily today. Enjoy! A new Costco membership OR renewal plus some freebies is only $55.00. I am all over this one personally. I have been going with a friend and using her membership for the past couple years but this has increasingly become a hassle and we would like one of our own.

Eco Friendly Halloween
We have less than a month to go before the most spooktacular holiday of all....Halloween.
