Valentine’s on the Cheap (without looking cheap)

admin | January 31, 2010

We don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day—my husband has resisted the notion from the start. He’d prefer that we spontaneously give each other flowers or plan a getaway rather than get caught up in the hype once a year. And we do. But I know we’re the exception, not the rule. If you’re looking for cheap Valentine’s [...]

Free Yoga Class on Yoga Day USA, January 23

admin | January 21, 2010

January 23 is Yoga Day USA. What does that mean for you? Free yoga classes. I tried one the other day, and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be even though I sampled it on a balance day. Apparently the balance moves that my weights & Pilates instructors work in to our [...]

Cities | January 11, 2010

These podcasts are unique because they use tones in the audio that actually affect the brain waves.

Today Only: Save up to 67% on Fitness DVD Bundles

admin | January 6, 2010

Some days, the deals on Cities on the Cheap are inspired by the weather. As in, it’s ridiculously cold in Atlanta this week, and I have zero interest in walking around outside, even to take a trip to the gym. It’s not getting there that bothers me. It’s leaving. I’m a sweaty mess, & my [...]

admin | December 17, 2009

If you follow me on Twitter @atlcheap, you may have learned a few details about me: 1) A couple of months ago, I had a major craving for McDonald’s fries, which was odd because it’d been about a decade since I’d had them. 2) I gave in to temptation & discovered that I do, in [...]

Can you tell from today’s deals that I really need to make time to relax? @J_Kitt forwarded me this lead, and I’m seriously considering taking advantage of it:
October 12-18 is Spa Week in various metro areas across the U.S. plus Toronto, Canada. What does that mean for you? You can book full-service treatments for [...]

Extended through Oct. 7: Yoga Month Card = One Week Free Yoga

admin | October 1, 2009

As someone who lacks both flexibility & grace, yoga is not on my short list of exercises classes to take. But I may be willing to give it a shot for free. Who knows, I may love it & find my inner peace. I could use the mental break. And as someone who procrastinates, I’m [...]
