Top Deals for Black Friday Shopping

10 comments

Wednesday November 23, 2011 by ChickAdvisor Team

Black Friday - so named because it's that magical day of the year when retailers go from a Loss on the balance sheet to a Gain ("back in the black" as they say) - is nearly upon us.

Wednesday August 17, 2011 by Alexandra C.

There I was, 22 years old, a recent graduate, a busy gal interning with a few different companies and I’m still carrying a flip phone. Not even like a cool flip phone. An old school, President’s Choice cell phone. You didn’t even know President’s Choice had cell plans- did you? Well, they do and it’s super embarrassing to take out your lame flip phone at events or parties and have...

Friday January 14, 2011 by Cathy

When someone asks me what type of music I like, I usually say "anything that's good". That's the only way I can sum up my taste in music. I will blast Hilary Duff on the same day I rock out to old school LL Cool J, classic Springsteen or Rascal Flatts.

For the gym, I pick a playlist of songs with a good beat that keep me motivated to move. Here is what's on my current...

Goodbye Facebook

Tuesday May 18, 2010 by Cathy

In case you haven't heard, Facebook recently changed their privacy settings to allow various websites (of their choosing) access to your personal information.

As a result of this change, it appears that people are scrambling to delete their accounts. How do I know? Go ahead and start typing "How do I…" into Google.
