Current weather for NYC: absolute crap. Sleet, hurricane-force winds, and I think I may have seen the Abominable Snowman trolling around the boroughs.

It's March, that tricky month when you're jumping to put your heavy-duty winter things into storage after months of cold, but can't because the National Weather Service just issued yet another blizzard to slam the Tri-state area.

So much for spring...

Luckily, not all parts of the globe are stuck in the same succession of hat-hair, dry skin and extra layers that we're in. In some places (dare we dream) it's summer. If you've momentarily forgotten that wonderful season, just envision being in a Corona commercial.

In honor of the lovely weather we've been having, Renaissance Hotels & Resorts is easing up their prices for stays in almost-equatorial Curacao and Aruba.

The deals go until April 8--when the average temperatures range from a low of 77 to a high of 88, and the precipitation is at its annual low (sigh).

I've just stumbled across one of the best deals EVER.

$25 Tuesdays.

This little web jewel brings us prezzies every Tuesday.

$25 Tuesdays features a new spa deal, every Tuesday for $25 (duh).

The deal is different every week, and you have 24hrs to purchase the deal.

After your purchase, you have up to 1 year to use it (!).

Want an example? Yesterday's deal was $25 for a 60 min foot reflexology session.

Great bargains that would normally cost a fortune!!

The best (liquid pen) eyeliner in the whole entire world is on sale.

Lorac's Front Of The Line.

I did a post on it a few months ago, read here.

U bent welkom. :)

Thursday afternoon I have to head up to CT for work. On my way, I'll be stopping here:

(My Aunt lives in Westport & has gone to the sale in passed years; apparently everything is ridiculously cheap - ie: $30 for a bag. Think the old D&B leather bowling ball-style bag with the ducks on it. Squeal.)

WHAT: Dooney & Bourke Tent Sale
WHEN: Thursday (12/10) Noon-9pm
Friday (12/11) 10am-9pm
Saturday (12/12) 10am-6pm
Sunday (12/13) 11am-3pm
WHERE: Exit 16 off I-95 or a short walk away from the East Norwalk Train Station on the Metro North.

Check out D&B's event page for more info.

(Stop being lazy, just jump on the Metro North, so easy!)

When Empire Beauty School first contacted us, it was about $5 haircuts - which is an absolute bargain hunters blessing, living in this city.

(Side note: I mean, they might not be Aveda Institute, but it's way, way cheaper. Besides, how complex is a trim?)

So, now I just receive this little gem: Empire Beauty School is now offering Brazilian Keratin treatments for $48.

Woah.

Stop the taxi.

I just had Brazilian straightening done by Joseph Mullen @ Blackstones

(I'm in the process of concocting the review based on my experience.)

But, Sista', $48 it was not.

More like $300 +.

If you want to try the all-the-rage Brazilian & can't afford to spend a few Benjamins, read this:

''Keratin Treatments Draining Your Bank Account?

So you've gone and gotten yourself a Keratin addiction. You're hair is so smooth and shiny and... straight! No endless blow-drying, no flat-irons, no frizz... hair heaven. The only problem is that with the holiday season approaching, so are your annual cash flow issues. And just when you wanted to look especially great for all those photos. A beauty conundrum if ever there were one!

So what's a straight hair obsessed girl on a tight beauty budget to do?

Normally, this would be a cruel beauty fact of life, but for a limited time (now through New Year's Eve) Keratin lovers can take advantage of an incredible deal:

Empire Beauty School is offering a Keratin Straightener for just $48.

Growing rapidly in popularity, a Keratin Straightening Treatment is a high-end process that reduces curl and eliminates frizz. And no need to worry about students administering your treatment. All student salon services and treatments take place under the strictest supervision by educators, and are only done by very advanced students."
