Friday Finds

1. So here’s an idea – you can be NICE and DO GOOD at the same time (I think!). Want to send flower’s to you mom or any mom for Mother’s day? Click this link to buy a Living Social deal for Proflowers $15 for $30. Then when you are ready to buy, click this link and March of Dimes will get $15 from Proflowers. WIN – WIN!

2. Living Social has some other great online finds, too, if flowers aren’t what you are looking for. Click here to check it out.

3. Mom not the flowers type? Are you in Chicago? How about some roller derby?

Check out the Windy City Rollers Mother’s Day event here ($5 OFF ADMISSION with the promotional code WRECK12)

4. I ran a very windy Lakefront 10 mile race last weekend. Why? To get deals – of course! Well, not really but I will share some nonetheless:

– Take $10 off the Rock and Roll Half Marathon in Chicago on July 22nd. Use the code LAKEFRONT by May 10th.
– Get 30% off at Greenlayer sports online with the coupon code: LAKE30.

5. Ooh, another fun fitness thing in Chicago: Join me on May 24 on a car-free Lakeshore Drive in Chicago for Bike the Drive. To sweeten the deal, here is a discount code you can use to get $5 off each on-line registration: ELO6E5.

Good Measures

6. This just in!!! Check out and be one of their FREE pilot participants to improve overall health and change the way people eat in the US for the better!

7. Sick of hearing about deals for this or any other Hallmark Day? Glass half empty? Read “How to Be Optimistic About Everything” from the Greatist – couldn’t hurt, right?!

Happy Friday! Really!
