3. What did I get in the mail this week? My Klutch club box arrived!
Since I already knew what was in it, the surprise factor was low, but for my $11.33, I got a coupon for $25 off on any purchase from movingcomfort.com (AND $25 off code for a friend — SO comment on this post and ask for the code and I will place all commenter names in a hat and draw a winner!

4. Should I try this for $20?
Lifebooker has a $20 deal for a visit to a Salt Cave in Oakbrook (and Cupping for an additional $20). Why try this? Lifebooker says “Don’t freak—you won’t actually be in a cave. Instead, you’ll kick back in a peaceful room designed to simulate the atmosphere of natural salt mines. Halogenerators pump the room full of salty air and minerals (halite, sodium chloride, calcium, and magnesium) which have a therapeutic and detoxifying effect. The process alleviates all kinds of skin and respiratory probs, like asthma, acne, and ear infections. Still feel icky? Add a 20-minute cupping session for $40 total (reg. $80) suction cups are placed on the skin to draw out toxins, increase circulation, and relieve tension.” Anyone want to try this with me???
5. And how about this? My husband races cars and has a “cool shirt” – it runs cold water though tubes and is connected to a pump and big container. Not so great for running. We joke about running with it. Someone came up with a running “cool shirt” and the Schwaggle guys are offering it for 40% off:
Worth a try for $42? This one is probably not for me! What do you think? If you do try it, let me know how it is!
