All-Natural is the New Way of Life

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about natural remedies. It all began a few months ago when I was hanging out with someone who had just received her pharmaceutical degree. At the time, she had a headache, so I offered her an Advil.

“No, thank you,” she said, with conviction. “I know what goes in pills now so I make it a point not to take any.”

I was too shocked at the time to follow up with questions to get any further explanations out of her. But it definitely got me thinking, and her statement has stuck with me for months now. Then, recently, I watched an episode of Iconoclasts featuring Dave Chappelle and Maya Angelou (if you haven’t seen the series, it’s definitely worth checking out). Dr. Angelou was talking about modern medicine and how almost every

Guitar Playing Shirts are Just the Beginning

My dormmates in college were renowned for their incredibly detailed, prankster mind games. An official-looking suspension letter from the provost, wardrobe dressers on balconies, and entire doors being switched out were all just the beginning for these intelligent clowns. And though I hated it when their attention was turned on me, their pranks did make for some pretty great stories.

If you love pranks and practical jokes as much as my college buddies, ThinkGeek is the store for you. You can find some really cool, geeky (pardon the paradox) gadgets for just about any situation. My favorite is the Electronic Rock Guitar Shirt. That’s right—you can actually play guitar, and drums, on your very own chest…with your shirt. For an awesome demonstration of such shirts, check out

Get Your Green On for Earth Day and Beyond

Earth Day is upon us again; a time to reflect upon what we can do to help get this planet back into shape. There are a lot of minor holidays during the year, but few carry the profound significance of this day. Why? Because unlike most holidays, Earth Day is about conservation, not consumption. It is about living consciously, and with regard to our precious planet, which provides us with a place to live and food to eat, while asking nothing in return. But the simple fact is that in her serene silence, the Earth is suffering; from pollution, global warming, overfilled landfills…the list goes on and on. If we choose to be ignorant of the ground literally beneath our feet, there will come a time when our hubris will lead to our doom. That is why, here at coupon-gurus.com, we take

When Life Gives You Lemons…

As I was adding new stores to our Coupon-Gurus repertoire, I came across a store with a story that I couldn’t pass up without telling you about! 

I Do Now I Don’t is not just your average jewelry auction website.  It all began when the founder proposed to the love of his life—only to be dumped three months later!  Now, he found himself fiancée-less, lost, and in possession of a $10,000 ring.

What was a man to do?  He went right back to the retailer he bought it from and asked for his money back.  Except, he was offered much, much less than what he originally paid!  Not one to let life get him down, he took matters into his own hands and created I Do Now I Don’t.

Now, those who were dumped and left with rings, those who are looking for just the right ring, and those
