Star Wars fans took over the Anaheim Convention Center for four days during a conference called Star Wars Celebration. It was crazy fun, a bit overwhelming at times but I’m glad that I got to experience it, especially since my hubby & daughter are huge fans.

Unbooked Appointments {Review + Giveaway}

Posted on April 6, 2015 | Filed Under: Misc | Tags: health and beauty services, spa deals, Unbooked Appointments | 3 Comments

We all know that sometimes the best deals happen at the last minute. Take the New York City TKTS ticket booth for example. A friend of mine told me about her trip to NYC & how she wanted to see a musical on Broadway. She saved money by going through the TKTS ticket booth in Times Square, which sells tickets to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows at 30-50% off the day of the show.
