LOOK AND FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS ON A BUDGET

Uniroyal® Tire and Money-Savings Expert Helps Consumers Look and Feel Fabulous

GREENVILLE, S.C. - (May 20, 2009) - With only 24 hours in a day, balancing a career, housework, social life and parenting can all be overwhelming tasks. Kimberly Danger, money-savings expert, wife and mother of two, wants people to know especially during the current economy, taking “me time” is important. Danger has teamed up with Uniroyal® Tire to share her latest e-book tips on how to pamper yourself for less as part of the “More Mileage for Your Money” campaign. The free e-book on how to look and feel great for less is available at www.UniroyalTires.com/moremileageforyourmoney.

According to Parenthood.com, there are 26 million working mothers. As a woman, finding time to put yourself back on the to-do list may seem difficult, but should be a priority. With a little time and a couple household ingredients, anyone can make a homemade spa treatment to look and feel fabulous.

Put a spoon in the freezer for a few minutes and apply to puffy eyes. Use a light concealer to brighten the area.
Create a spa facial for just 25 cents using one ingredient from your refrigerator.
If you have leftover bananas lying around then you have a great moisturizing mask! This mask will leave your face feeling silky smooth, especially if you have dry skin.

“Eating right, exercising and looking your best can be expensive especially in today’s economy; it can be difficult to justify extras when the budget is tight,” said Danger. “It’s my hope to show people a few ways to look good from the inside out even if you are short on time and money.”

Go to www.nrdc.org for a list of fresh local fruits and vegetables to add to your grocery list. Buying locally invests your food dollar closer to home and saves the environment.
Skip the soda and opt for water; it’s great for your skin, your body and your finances.
Make your own weights. Full, large water bottles are approximately two pounds and easy to handle; try adding sand or rocks for additional weight.

Fashion trends are constantly changing; make all of your purchases count. Remember, fashion savings strategies are always in style.

Justify the must-have clothes by avoiding shipping costs or full prices by visiting sites like www.fatwallet.com or www.retailmenot.com.
Don’t skimp on standards like jeans, black trousers, white blouses or good shoes. When you find cute, trendy clothes, you’ll already have pieces to go along with them.
Just because it is on sale doesn’t mean you should buy it. Only if it can be altered to fit and is a standard item, it may be a good buy in the long run.
