Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How’s it going!?! Happy Cinco de Mayo. Happy Thursday. Happy day. Yesterday we had a great day hanging out in Zion National Park. We took the free parks shuttle all the way into the canyon and went for a 2-mile hike through the canyon. Beautiful views and a rushing river along the path. We ate lunch at the end of the hike and came home to hang out for the day. Last night we had a rare campfire with s’mores! How is your week going?!
So. . . People magazine is a completely *guilty* pleasure of mine. . . I wish I could get it delivered while we travel but because it’s a WEEKLY subscription, it’s not feasible – that’s a lot of magazines. But I have an exclusive deal for YOU on it – through May 8, subscribe to People Magazine for only $54.99 per year – this is a huge savings of 86% off! Use coupon code QUEENBEE at checkout for the price to drop to the sale price. This is a VERY rare discount on this popular magazine, which has 50 issues a year – this makes each issue just $1.10 each! No tax. No shipping. No auto-renewal. I order all my magazines from this company and love the customer service (and you can’t beat the prices)!
