I am fully aware that I have written about the subject of sunblock more times than I really care to count. And yes, I am aware that everyone knows the importance of sun protection, especially in this day and age. But I know how you can try one of the highest SPF, best-for-your-skin sunblocks for less, with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19900\">cash back</a> from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19900\">Ebates</a> and a free gift! <br /><br />When I stumbled upon this Limited Edition size Shiseido \'<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Nordstrom_2423-xfas?mpl_id=32714&amp;eeid=19900\">Ultimate Sun Protection\' SPF 55</a>, at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Nordstrom.htm?eeid=19900\">Nordstrom</a> for just $19.50 with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Nordstrom_2423-xfas?eeid=19900\">3.0% Cash Back</a>, special $5 shipping with a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/coupons/all/index.htm?offer_type=21&amp;category=0&amp;store=ALL&amp;perPage=20&amp;sort_type=merchant&amp;sort_order=asc\">free gift</a> offer, I knew&nbsp;it was a great deal that must be shared! Now, I know that is a lot of information to process at once, let me break it down. Normally, a full-sized bottle of this Shiseido sunblock costs $35, which is a hard price tag to swallow, even for such a great product. But, the limited-edition size (which is great for travel or a perfect introductory size or can be easily thrown in your purse for on the go) is just $19.50.&nbsp;Yes, the larger size may be a better value, but it is nice to try something that comes in under $20, especially when just a little of this product goes such a long way. Plus, when you add <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19900\">cash back</a> into the mix, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Nordstrom.htm?eeid=19900\">Nordstrom</a> $5 shipping offer (on orders of $50 or more with code BEAUTY), and Shiseido\'s fantastic free gift offer (see site for details) you have lots of savings coming your way.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Shiseido was one of the first to fuse skin care and sun care, and this sunblock has tons of good-for-your-skin ingredients, works perfectly under makeup, and lasts all day without being greasy or chalky.

But I know how you can try one of the highest SPF, best-for-your-skin sunblocks for less, with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19900\">cash back</a> from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19900\">Ebates</a> and a free gift! <br /><br />When I stumbled upon this Limited Edition size Shiseido \'<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Nordstrom_2423-xfas?mpl_id=32714&amp;eeid=19900\">Ultimate Sun Protection\' SPF 55</a>, at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Nordstrom.htm?eeid=19900\">Nordstrom</a> for just $19.50 with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Nordstrom_2423-xfas?eeid=19900\">3.0% Cash Back</a>, special $5 shipping with a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/coupons/all/index.htm?offer_type=21&amp;category=0&amp;store=ALL&amp;perPage=20&amp;sort_type=merchant&amp;sort_order=asc\">free gift</a> offer, I knew&nbsp;it was a great deal that must be shared! Now, I know that is a lot of information to process at once, let me break it down. Normally, a full-sized bottle of this Shiseido sunblock costs $35, which is a hard price tag to swallow, even for such a great product. But, the limited-edition size (which is great for travel or a perfect introductory size or can be easily thrown in your purse for on the go) is just $19.50.&nbsp;Yes, the larger size may be a better value, but it is nice to try something that comes in under $20, especially when just a little of this product goes such a long way. Plus, when you add <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19900\">cash back</a> into the mix, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Nordstrom.htm?eeid=19900\">Nordstrom</a> $5 shipping offer (on orders of $50 or more with code BEAUTY), and Shiseido\'s fantastic free gift offer (see site for details) you have lots of savings coming your way.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Shiseido was one of the first to fuse skin care and sun care, and this sunblock has tons of good-for-your-skin ingredients, works perfectly under makeup, and lasts all day without being greasy or chalky. Get your travel size now for just $19.50 and keep your skin protected on the go!</div> \";}s:8:\"category\";s:15:\"Health & Beauty\";s:15:\"category@domain\";s:41:\"http://www.sixapart.com/ns/types#category\";s:10:\"category#2\";s:15:\"healthandbeauty\";s:17:\"category#2@domain\";s:36:\"http://www.sixapart.com/ns/types#tag\";s:14:\"date_timestamp\";i:1267977654;}i:5;a:53:{s:6:\"title#\";i:1;s:6:\"title@\";s:8:\"xml:base\";s:14:\"title@xml:base\";s:39:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/atom.xml\";s:5:\"title\";s:18:\"What\'s your Hobby?\";s:5:\"link#\";i:1;s:4:\"link\";s:60:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/2010/03/whats-your-hobby.html\";s:5:\"link@\";s:13:\"rel,type,href\";s:8:\"link@rel\";s:9:\"alternate\";s:9:\"link@type\";s:9:\"text/html\";s:9:\"link@href\";s:60:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/2010/03/whats-your-hobby.html\";s:3:\"id#\";i:1;s:2:\"id\";s:41:\"tag:blog1.ebates.com,2010:/ebates//8.6323\";s:10:\"published#\";i:1;s:9:\"published\";s:20:\"2010-03-06T22:30:13Z\";s:8:\"updated#\";i:1;s:7:\"updated\";s:20:\"2010-03-06T01:14:22Z\";s:8:\"summary#\";i:1;s:8:\"summary@\";s:8:\"xml:base\";s:16:\"summary@xml:base\";s:39:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/atom.xml\";s:7:\"summary\";s:211:\"As you probably already know, we are in the midst of our Hobby and Collectible Week, and I got to thinking about what my hobbies are.

I will admit, even to me, the advice seems a little daunting. Of course we would all love to go without much makeup, especially as the temperatures rise, and would prefer to embrace Spring trends without having to think about things we need to conceal or cover up. But realistically, even the au naturale makeup look requires much more than bare skin and a little gloss.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/philosophy_10236-xfas?mpl_id=32712&amp;eeid=19900\"> <img alt=\"New Makeup Collection\" src=\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/picture-18.gif\" class=\"mt-image-left\" height=\"194\" width=\"300\" /></a>The key to this look is not necessarily to abandon all of your makeup, but rather invest in a lighter, more sheer collection of colors and go from there.

The new collection is named after the cult favorite fragrance Grace, and features all things pink and beautiful for lips, cheeks, eyes, and face. Add some glow to your skin with the Heavenly Light Pink Illuminator and Amazing Grace Shimmering Face Powder, define your eyes with the Eyelighting Shadow Duo, and polish your lips with the gorgeous pink Angle Kiss Lip Gloss.

My main problem is that I have the wrong suitcase. I have a tiny weekender that works pretty well, although given the unpredictable weather in my recent travel destinations, the small space has left me unprepared many a time.

But because this is a cruise blog, let\'s stay focused!<br /><br />Today ships sail everywhere from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, yet there\'s more than just dinner and drinks to be had. Cruises now offer themes (my personal favorite being <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.travelandleisure.com/slideshows/worlds-wackiest-theme-cruises/3\">Pink Floyd</a>) as well as special interests like Nascar, baseball, even scrap booking. For those not into psychedelic rock, Carnival Cruise Line offers a Rick Springfield cruise, and Holland America features a Jazz themed cruise. Oh, and for all you soap opera addicts, Celebrity Cruise Line allows you to rub shoulders with your favorite soap stars from All My Children, Days Of Our Lives, and more. If Austin Peck is there, count me in!<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <br />Of course there are other reasons to take a cruise, like the exotic ports, the on board activities, and the whole \"basking in the sun\" thing. If you\'re itching to get started booking, be sure to shop <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/travel-deals.htm?eeid=19901\">Travel Week</a> before you buy, and say hello to the high seas and higher <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19901\">cash back</a>!&nbsp; &nbsp; <br /><br />Book your vacation <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/category/Travel_%26_Vacations/cat_id/54.htm?eeid=19901\">here</a>.

But because this is a cruise blog, let\'s stay focused!<br /><br />Today ships sail everywhere from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, yet there\'s more than just dinner and drinks to be had. Cruises now offer themes (my personal favorite being <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.travelandleisure.com/slideshows/worlds-wackiest-theme-cruises/3\">Pink Floyd</a>) as well as special interests like Nascar, baseball, even scrap booking. For those not into psychedelic rock, Carnival Cruise Line offers a Rick Springfield cruise, and Holland America features a Jazz themed cruise. Oh, and for all you soap opera addicts, Celebrity Cruise Line allows you to rub shoulders with your favorite soap stars from All My Children, Days Of Our Lives, and more. If Austin Peck is there, count me in!<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <br />Of course there are other reasons to take a cruise, like the exotic ports, the on board activities, and the whole \"basking in the sun\" thing. If you\'re itching to get started booking, be sure to shop <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/travel-deals.htm?eeid=19901\">Travel Week</a> before you buy, and say hello to the high seas and higher <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19901\">cash back</a>!&nbsp; &nbsp; <br /><br />Book your vacation <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/category/Travel_%26_Vacations/cat_id/54.htm?eeid=19901\">here</a>.

What I mean is, some beauty items, whether it be your favorite mascara, perfect foundation, or go-to gloss will always do the job and therefore hold a special place in the beauty addict\'s heart. For me, no matter how many tubes of new mascara I buy (all chronicled on the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://blog.ebates.com/ebates/\">Ebates blog</a>) I always find myself returning to Yves Saint Laurent <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Sephora_4548-xfas?mpl_id=32656%20&amp;eeid=19900\">Faux Cils</a> because I know its going to work and I know the tube is going to last, and it is the dependability that I find so comforting from time to time when my new formula mascara flings feel a little too risky. I also find comfort in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Sephora.htm?eeid=19900\">Sephora</a>. I know they will give me free samples, I know they will pay me <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Sephora_4548-xfas?eeid=19900\">4.0% Cash Back</a>, I know they will have my Faux Cils, and I know I will always leave with more in my shopping cart than I went in for. <br /><br />I tried to divert my attention away from the new products on the homepage (I even started out this blog with the intention of writing only about the mascara!) and quickly navigated to the YSL section when I saw out of the corner of my eye \"Online only. Limited edition\" Those words jump out at me as if they were posted in a bright neon sign. I clicked and discovered this <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Sephora_4548-xfas?mpl_id=32655&amp;eeid=19900\">Yves Saint Laurent Radiance Essentials Set</a> (a $107.50 value, just $75). The kit includes Faux Cils Mascara, the must-have Touche Éclat radiance pen, and the new lust-worthy Top Secrets Flash Radiance Skincare Brush to add a glow all over. It is easy to justify this set, and since I would already be buying the mascara, it is like getting a full-size Touche Éclat and Radiance Skincare brush for just $45. Plus, I will earn free shipping. <br /><br />If you are new to YSL beauty, this is a great introductory kit, packed with best-sellers and award winners. Trust me, it will not disappoint.

I show you this photo as inspiration, for I too have hopes for doing amazing things in platform shoes. No, I don\'t want to have a ninja fight in them, but rather I\'d like to be able to master walking in them. Such a feat may sound easy, but coming from a girl who loves her flats, this is a task I\'ll need some help with. For the past month or so I\'ve been eyeing these <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Shopbop_9457-xfas?mpl_id=32645&amp;eeid=19901\">Chie Mihara Devenue Platforms</a> at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Shopbop.htm?eeid=19901\">Shopbop</a>, and I am determined to not only walk in them, but to actually be comfortable in them.

Although most styles aren\'t the retro kind like these, platforms have slowly been making a comeback, and I couldn\'t be happier. At first glance, these may seem like an item taken from the set of Hair, but paired with skinny jeans they become current and a nice change from stilettos. Of course, the nature of these shoes means they\'d be perfect when put up against a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/2010/02/spring-trend-report-go-wild-with-tropical-prints.html\">bohemian blouse</a> or wrap dress, but that\'s not to say these shoes won\'t go with more modern items. To pair with this season\'s military trend, try these with cuffed cargo pants, or wear with a floral dress to soften a fatigue jacket. I\'m excited to see just how many ways I can wear these shoes, but even more exciting is getting <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Shopbop_9457-xfas?eeid=19901\">6.0% Cash Back at Shopbop</a> or $20 for those math haters out there.

The same can be achieved with Spring clothing. While it is far to early to whip out the platform sandals and the mini dresses, look for Spring prints that you can layer to make them more appropriate during the transitional months. One of my favorite and the one of the most wearable trends for Spring is bold floral prints. Spotted all over the runway on some of Fashion\'s biggest names, this trend is feminine, classic, and easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. A great example of this trend is this <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Piperlime_9470-xfas?mpl_id=32618&amp;eeid=19900\">Izzy Bracelet Sleeve Floral Blouse</a> by Joie. Categorized on the Piperlime site as a \"day to night\" top, this is the perfect piece to wear now and later, day or night. The bold print is super feminine without being overbearing and the oversized cut keeps the vintage looking print feeling modern. I will wear this now with jeans, my rain boots, and a cardigan sweater or later tucked into a skirt, with denim shorts, or with my favorite loose khaki pants.<div><br /></div><div>Hurry, sizes are selling out fast!

The fluke warm days can make a girl drag out her boxes of seasonal dresses, flouncy tops, and last year\'s gladiators. But as soon as reality hits (like this past weekend\'s rain storm) the dresses stay boxed and the only items I\'m pulling from my closet are sweaters and extra blankets. Spring fever can spark erratic behavior in the shopping department, and the last thing I need is shopper\'s remorse and an out of this world credit card bill, which is why this week\'s Ebates Obsession is <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Urban%2BOutfitters.htm?eeid=19901\">Urban Outfitters</a>.

The fluke warm days can make a girl drag out her boxes of seasonal dresses, flouncy tops, and last year\'s gladiators. But as soon as reality hits (like this past weekend\'s rain storm) the dresses stay boxed and the only items I\'m pulling from my closet are sweaters and extra blankets. Spring fever can spark erratic behavior in the shopping department, and the last thing I need is shopper\'s remorse and an out of this world credit card bill, which is why this week\'s Ebates Obsession is <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Urban%2BOutfitters.htm?eeid=19901\">Urban Outfitters</a>.

On any given night I can be found watching <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/say-yes-to-the-dress/\">Say Yes To The Dress</a> or the hilarious <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.wetv.com/bridezillas/\">Bridezillas</a> while basking in the glory that is drama, dresses, and a few cat fights. Of course, this isn\'t to say I applaud such behavior, but nothing satiates my appetite for good TV like an argument between two salespeople vying for the same $6500 gown. When I\'m not being a couch potato, I love pretending I\'m picking things for my registry, which not only satiates my appetite for shopping, but housewares as well. In this spirit of imagination, below are my top registry picks, and considering June is a few months away, Summer brides should be planning their registry as well. Luckily for the bride (and the guests buying these gifts) Ebates has top stores like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Target.htm?eeid=19901\">Target</a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Crate%2Band%2BBarrel.htm?eeid=19901\">Crate and Barrel</a>, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/JCPenney.htm?eeid=19901\">JCPenney</a> all with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19901\">cash back</a> and loads of gift options.

On any given night I can be found watching <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/say-yes-to-the-dress/\">Say Yes To The Dress</a> or the hilarious <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.wetv.com/bridezillas/\">Bridezillas</a> while basking in the glory that is drama, dresses, and a few cat fights. Of course, this isn\'t to say I applaud such behavior, but nothing satiates my appetite for good TV like an argument between two salespeople vying for the same $6500 gown. When I\'m not being a couch potato, I love pretending I\'m picking things for my registry, which not only satiates my appetite for shopping, but housewares as well. In this spirit of imagination, below are my top registry picks, and considering June is a few months away, Summer brides should be planning their registry as well. Luckily for the bride (and the guests buying these gifts) Ebates has top stores like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Target.htm?eeid=19901\">Target</a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Crate%2Band%2BBarrel.htm?eeid=19901\">Crate and Barrel</a>, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/JCPenney.htm?eeid=19901\">JCPenney</a> all with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19901\">cash back</a> and loads of gift options.

Add a slightly warmer Winter week into the mix and you (like me) have likely busted out your Spring wardrobe staples only to be reminded that Winter is not over when the weather rebounds. Luckily, even if you are stuck in Winter clothing, you can lighten up your makeup and incorporate some Spring trends to break out of the monotony. <br /><br />One of the biggest trends this year is a coral color palette. This trend is refreshing and wearable and can be worn even on the most wintry days. You will likely encounter a lot of bold matte coral lipstick shades this Spring, and while I love this look, it is a bit harder to pull off when it is still Winter. In the meantime, a more suitable coral lip shade is Bobbi Brown\'s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Bobbi_Brown_Cosmetics_10071-xfas?mpl_id=32630&amp;eeid=19900\">Rich Color Gloss</a> in melon.

Add a slightly warmer Winter week into the mix and you (like me) have likely busted out your Spring wardrobe staples only to be reminded that Winter is not over when the weather rebounds. Luckily, even if you are stuck in Winter clothing, you can lighten up your makeup and incorporate some Spring trends to break out of the monotony. <br /><br />One of the biggest trends this year is a coral color palette. This trend is refreshing and wearable and can be worn even on the most wintry days. You will likely encounter a lot of bold matte coral lipstick shades this Spring, and while I love this look, it is a bit harder to pull off when it is still Winter. In the meantime, a more suitable coral lip shade is Bobbi Brown\'s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Bobbi_Brown_Cosmetics_10071-xfas?mpl_id=32630&amp;eeid=19900\">Rich Color Gloss</a> in melon.

However, most people who only know me through <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19902\">Ebates</a> channels don\'t realize I also am a musician, and in honor of my band\'s upcoming show, which has the office all abuzz, I decided to do a little \"get the look\" special for our own blend of clean cut non-offensive rock boy sexiness. (and that\'s me on the right, in case you were wondering)<br /><br />The most essential thing about playing in a band like this is pants. It sounds crazy, because who really looks at your pants when you\'re onstage, but I tell you this: if your pants are uncomfortable, you will have a bad night, and if your pants are not durable, you will rip something somewhere embarrassing when loading your gear in or out. For my money, you can\'t beat <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Dickies.htm?eeid=19902\">Dickies</a>.

Just because I love fashion and shopping, doesn\'t necessarily mean that I am always \"good at it\" in my own personal life. Quite frankly, just like any other woman, I am prone to outfit ruts. I swear, as much as I love my skinny jeans, if I wear them one more day in a row I may implode. When I buy dresses and skirts, I am happy I have them and I do wear them on special occasions, but in the day to day I am a jeans and button up or tee shirt kinda girl. But I must break out of this rut!<br /><br /><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Shopbop_9457-xfas?mpl_id=32617&amp;eeid=19900\"><img alt=\"Generra-Pants From Shopbop\" src=\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/Generra-Pants-1.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-left\" height=\"314\" width=\"226\" /></a>I found these <a href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Shopbop_9457-xfas?mpl_id=32617%20&amp;eeid=19900\">Generra Pleated Front Slouch Pants</a> at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Shopbop.htm?eeid=19900\">Shopbop</a> for $195 with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Shopbop_9457-xfas?eeid=19900\">6.0% Cash Back</a> (that translates to $11.70 added to my account). So the pants look average and black pants are not exactly a departure from jeans. I kept my expectations low and when they arrived tried them on with a few tops in my closet. Because the silhouette is completely different with the slouchy style and flattering pleated front, they felt fresh, modern, and much different than anything I had. Although I had a tinge of panic, thinking \"Will I ever wear these?\" I powered through and now they may be my favorite new purchase. I am sure the pleats in the front would scare many rational-minded women away, but trust me, it is flattering (especially with a fitted top) and the slip leg and ankle style make them very fashionable with just the right amount of classic tailoring.

The past few months of wind and rain give way to sunnier and longer days, and the city\'s energy changes from dreary to cheerful. After spending the past few days basking in the glory that is warmer weather, I\'ve become fixated on shopping for Spring Fashion. One of my favorite Spring 2010 trends is clothing made for the tropics. Bright colors, bold prints; it\'s as if Carmen Miranda started her own clothing line, and I\'m loving the festive vibe. I also love cash back, so when it comes to Spring shopping, I am sure to use <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19901\">Ebates</a> first. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Saks_Fifth_Avenue_9154-xfas?mpl_id=32616&amp;eeid=19901\"><img alt=\"DVF-Syrah-Top\" src=\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/DVF-Syrah-Top.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-right\" /></a>One designer who has taken this trend and transformed it from theatrical to wearable is Diane Von Furstenberg. Her <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://nymag.com/search/search.cgi?t=runway&amp;Nao=1&amp;N=4294967159+8737&amp;Ns=srt_season%7C1#\">Spring 2010 Collection</a> is full of island inspired clothing like flowing dresses, bright bangles, and tropical prints. This <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Saks_Fifth_Avenue_9154-xfas?mpl_id=32616&amp;eeid=19901\">Syrah Top</a> from her Spring collection has the same tropical feel as her runway pieces, yet this is a little easier to blend in with the rest of your wardrobe. For those of you still covered in snow, this top works well when paired with dark jeans and knee high boots. As the days get warmer, try this top with a pair of loose cargo pants, or a tiered skirt, another one of this season\'s hot trends. Although this top is selling at a few different stores, only <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Saks%2BFifth%2BAvenue.htm?eeid=19901\">Saks Fifth Avenue</a> offers Free Shipping on orders over $150 with code SHIPFREE2.

The endless ways in which I can wear it make the price completely reasonable, plus its classic-meets-edgy design make it more interesting than a typical tank, so even when I wear it over and over, I will not get tired of it. <br /><br />Pick one up now for yourself (it is set to ship March 1st) and add a chic update to your wardrobe for $100 with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Nordstrom_2423-xfas?eeid=19900\">3.0% Cash Back</a> from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19900\">Ebates</a>. <br /> \";}s:8:\"category\";s:21:\"Clothes & Accessories\";s:15:\"category@domain\";s:41:\"http://www.sixapart.com/ns/types#category\";s:10:\"category#2\";s:13:\"springfashion\";s:17:\"category#2@domain\";s:36:\"http://www.sixapart.com/ns/types#tag\";s:10:\"category#3\";s:22:\"clothingandaccessories\";s:17:\"category#3@domain\";s:36:\"http://www.sixapart.com/ns/types#tag\";s:14:\"date_timestamp\";i:1266359429;}i:37;a:59:{s:6:\"title#\";i:1;s:6:\"title@\";s:8:\"xml:base\";s:14:\"title@xml:base\";s:39:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/atom.xml\";s:5:\"title\";s:39:\"Design Influence: Industrial Revolution\";s:5:\"link#\";i:1;s:4:\"link\";s:82:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/2010/02/design-influence-industrial-revolution.html\";s:5:\"link@\";s:13:\"rel,type,href\";s:8:\"link@rel\";s:9:\"alternate\";s:9:\"link@type\";s:9:\"text/html\";s:9:\"link@href\";s:82:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/2010/02/design-influence-industrial-revolution.html\";s:3:\"id#\";i:1;s:2:\"id\";s:41:\"tag:blog1.ebates.com,2010:/ebates//8.6274\";s:10:\"published#\";i:1;s:9:\"published\";s:20:\"2010-02-16T17:00:31Z\";s:8:\"updated#\";i:1;s:7:\"updated\";s:20:\"2010-02-16T19:39:56Z\";s:8:\"summary#\";i:1;s:8:\"summary@\";s:8:\"xml:base\";s:16:\"summary@xml:base\";s:39:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/atom.xml\";s:7:\"summary\";s:232:\"When I think of purchasing industrial furnishings my grandfather\'s voice pops into my head saying \"what is this a wood shop, where\'s the furniture?\" It makes me chuckle as I can understand how a man raised in the depression might...\";s:7:\"author#\";i:1;s:6:\"author\";s:17:\"Deal Hunting Diva\";s:12:\"author_name#\";i:1;s:11:\"author_name\";s:17:\"Deal Hunting Diva\";s:11:\"author_uri#\";i:1;s:10:\"author_uri\";s:72:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&blog_id=8&id=11\";s:9:\"category#\";i:3;s:9:\"category@\";s:11:\"term,scheme\";s:13:\"category@term\";s:13:\"Home & Garden\";s:15:\"category@scheme\";s:41:\"http://www.sixapart.com/ns/types#category\";s:11:\"category#2@\";s:17:\"term,label,scheme\";s:15:\"category#2@term\";s:13:\"homeandgarden\";s:16:\"category#2@label\";s:15:\"Home and Garden\";s:17:\"category#2@scheme\";s:36:\"http://www.sixapart.com/ns/types#tag\";s:11:\"category#3@\";s:17:\"term,label,scheme\";s:15:\"category#3@term\";s:14:\"interiordesign\";s:16:\"category#3@label\";s:15:\"Interior Design\";s:17:\"category#3@scheme\";s:36:\"http://www.sixapart.com/ns/types#tag\";s:13:\"atom_content#\";i:1;s:13:\"atom_content@\";s:22:\"type,xml:lang,xml:base\";s:17:\"atom_content@type\";s:4:\"html\";s:21:\"atom_content@xml:lang\";s:2:\"en\";s:21:\"atom_content@xml:base\";s:31:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/\";s:12:\"atom_content\";s:2163:\" <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/ebay?eeid=19901\"><img alt=\"Shop-This-Trend-At-Ebay\" src=\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/Shop-This-Trend-At-Ebay.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" height=\"264\" width=\"399\" /></a>When I think of purchasing industrial furnishings my grandfather\'s voice pops into my head saying \"what is this a wood shop, where\'s the furniture?\" It makes me chuckle as I can understand how a man raised in the depression might view buying 70 year old rusted furniture as the act of a crazy lady, but none the less I am all over this design trend.

I know, I know: they\'re old, they\'re unreliable, they call for needless upkeep, and they were rendered obsolete back before I was even born. Still, I have some memories of being a youngster and getting to use my parents\' electric typewriter to write stories - apparently I had dreams of being a writer even as a youngster. <br /><br />As I\'ve grown older, my love for typewriters has only grown. I love the idea of really taking your time and making keystrokes that matter, of not being able to manipulate text like we do on the computer: with a typewriter there is a sense of purpose, a sense of permanence. Plus, of course, there is the memory that so many of our great writers slaved away at typewriters honing their craft. Plus, remember, I\'m not getting rid of my computer to buy a typewriter. But man, I couldn\'t be more excited. After some weeks of quietly watching and looking, waiting for a functional vintage typewriter to show up, I finally pulled the trigger, winning this beauty of an Underwood. It\'s the old school manual typewriter I\'ve always wanted, complete with latching suitcase-style carrying case and enough ribbon to keep me going for the time being. <br /><br /><img alt=\"Underwood\" src=\"http://blog1.ebates.com/ebates/Underwood.JPG\" class=\"mt-image-left\" /><br /><div>Naturally, since I shopped through <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/?eeid=19902\">Ebates</a>, I\'ll receive <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/eBay_3993-xfas?eeid=19902\">2.0% Cash Back</a> on this purchase, which just might pay for that first replacement ribbon when the time comes.

I know, I know: they\'re old, they\'re unreliable, they call for needless upkeep, and they were rendered obsolete back before I was even born. Still, I have some memories of being a youngster and getting to use my parents\' electric typewriter to write stories - apparently I had dreams of being a writer even as a youngster. <br /><br />As I\'ve grown older, my love for typewriters has only grown. I love the idea of really taking your time and making keystrokes that matter, of not being able to manipulate text like we do on the computer: with a typewriter there is a sense of purpose, a sense of permanence. Plus, of course, there is the memory that so many of our great writers slaved away at typewriters honing their craft. Plus, remember, I\'m not getting rid of my computer to buy a typewriter. But man, I couldn\'t be more excited. After some weeks of quietly watching and looking, waiting for a functional vintage typewriter to show up, I finally pulled the trigger, winning this beauty of an Underwood.

I find a good tee shirt collection to be an absolute essential to a functioning wardrobe. Tee shirts are crucial especially this time of year, when Spring is around the corner and I can start to layer my lighter weight clothes with tee shirts underneath and get out of the doldrums of my Winter clothing. <br /><br />On my quest to find some new tee shirts to layer, I checked out <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/stores/Gap.htm#coupons?eeid=19900\">Gap</a> because this weekend they have increased to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/Gap_3864-xfas?eeid=19900\">8.0% Cash Back</a> for <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.ebates.com/presidents-day-sale.htm?entity=76.4116.77.162&amp;eeid=19900\">Ebates Presidents Day Sale</a>!

Growing up in a town surrounded by such historic places as the homestead of John Hancock does instill the revolutionary spirit of wanting to live a prosperous life. So what better way to embrace this ideology then with extra cash back?

Even in these tough economic times more and more shoppers are coming to Ebates for their online shopping. Each time that we begin printing checks and sending Paypal payments, the list of folks getting paid gets longer. We\'ve watched the check printing project go from being a weekend project where we filled the backseat of a Jeep and drove to the post office, to now being a month-long undertaking that culminates in the mailing of millions of dollars. <br /><br />As we\'ve said before, this is the best part of working at Ebates. We love sending you money!<br /><br />This time we are sending out cash-back and bonuses that were earned prior to January 1st. Due to the size of the payment distribution, all payments are not sent at once. We will begin processing payments now, and all eligible payments will be sent soon.&nbsp; <br /><br />Your Ebates account may change, your cash-back may moving from \"Cash Pending\" to your \"Cash Back History\". This process will be competed for all eligible accounts by Monday, February 15th. We realize that this is a postal holiday, so we hope to get most of the checks mailed early. Paypal payments will be made on time, if not early.<br /><br />If you are waiting on a payment, and don\'t see it coming, please make sure that you have at least $5.01 in cash-back for orders in your account dated prior to January 1st. Also, make sure that you provided your name and mailing address to us by February 1st. If you don\'t qualify, don\'t worry; any funds that do not get paid this time will be carried over to our next payment date in May.<br /><br />We appreciate all of you using Ebates for your holiday shopping and telling your friends about us. Please enjoy your payment from Ebates, you earned it!<br /><br />Happy Shopping from Ebates Customer Care<br /> \";s:9:\"modified#\";i:1;s:8:\"modified\";s:20:\"2010-02-11T00:51:39Z\";s:7:\"issued#\";i:1;s:6:\"issued\";s:20:\"2010-02-11T01:00:16Z\";s:2:\"dc\";a:5:{s:8:\"creator#\";i:1;s:11:\"creator_url\";s:72:\"http://blog1.ebates.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&blog_id=8&id=20\";s:7:\"creator\";s:12:\"CustomerCare\";s:8:\"subject#\";i:1;s:7:\"subject\";s:18:\"Customer Care News\";}s:12:\"description#\";i:1;s:11:\"description\";s:238:\"Working at Ebates is amazing!
