I usually post one or two semi daily deals over at my Locupleto (coupon clipping, reviews, and tips!) website. Why don’t you check it out some time? I’ll teach you how to score some free toilet paper for life, as long as Giant Tiger keeps re-stocking their shelves with the trial sized 4 -packs, and even how to e-mail companies to request some samples or coupons of your favorite products!
When I was younger I was so reckless with my parents computer. By the time I got my own, it was always filled up with virus’ and had to be wiped out completely, on multiple occasions. I mean, there’s so many spoof e-mails going around where you think it’s your friends sending you an e-mail, and if you didn’t know any better you’d click on them and BAM you have a virus.
If you also have children of your own, you’ll want to have some sort of action plan on the go, such as Internet Safety Software installed on your computer. Danger lurks in a lot of places on the internet. It happens so quickly, and it’s hard to know what to do — when you don’t know much about computers. I would suggest the Spector Pro monitoring software, since it automatically provides you records of internet activities that your child would be doing. It’s like an invisible surveillance camera on your monitor! Simply put it takes a few hundred snapshots each hour, and provides you with everything that they looked at while on the computer. You can also turn it off when your child isn’t using it.

The day after I wrote my Lululemon post, I wore my Run Empower Crop II’s to the gym and noticed the stitching was slowing unraveling on the left hand side of the back/hip area. I read that this had happened to another buyer. I ended up e-mailing Lululemon directly asking for some direction as to what I should do, since Lululemon has a great reputation of their clothes holding their own and lasting years and years.
However, I had only washed my Run Empower Crop II’s once, and wore them a handful of times only to notice the major flaw in them! Regardless if IÂ bought them on sale during the Boxing Day sale they had, I was still thoroughly disappointed. So much so, that I don’t even want to bring them back because they’re my favorite piece from Lululemon! It’s a bit strange to see something go wrong with a Lulu item, especially seeing that my crops are basically brand new, ad how long all my other pants/items have lasted. Ideally, I would like to keep wearing these crops, but I’m afraid to at the moment, because I don’t want them to do any more damage.
I received a somewhat generic e-mail response just hours after I e-mailed them (which, I may add — is fantastic, how I can contact them so easily). Basically they said the same thing to me, as they did in the comments to the other reviewer who had her pants come undone.
Hey Nancy!Thank you for taking the time to contact us. Yes, your best bet at this point would be to take your pair of Empower Crop II’s into the nearest store, as the situation you described sounds like a quality issue. The educators in the store will do their best in terms of helping find a solution for this.Hope this helps!
I ended up driving the two hour round trip to the nearest Lululemon store — which just so happens to be Toronto, so we made a day out of it.
Yesterday we drove to Toronto to see King Tut at the Art Gallery of Ontario and spent a good three hours going through the insane crowds at the exhibition. King Tut’s things were incredible, and I couldn’t get over it — I was in awe! We weren’t allowed to take photos, however. My Mom really wanted to see it. But alas, she’s in Newfoundland…
After that was over we drove to Sherway Gardens mall (a very uppity mall, at that) and raced into Lululemon. I still can’t believe how awesome their customer service is. The guy who was looking after me, just took my crops when I mentioned what had happened. We were standing in the store about ten minutes just wondering where he went. He popped back, handed me my crops all stitched up!
Hopefully that won’t happen again to my pants, hey?
So stay tuned for my romantic place setting for Valentines Day! Rather than gifts for her, it was gifts for HIM. That will be posted tomorrow… :)
