SALE OF THE WEEK

After 20 years of traveling the world and booking flights online, I’ve learned a trick or two about how to find the Cheapest Flights online. Some of this I have discovered by trial & error, and some of it I’ve learned by working with various online booking websites, including FlightHub.

The most important thing of all is to be FLEXIBLE on your dates. This tip is so key in finding cheap flights, that many online flight booking websites will actually look at the dates you’ve entered for your flight, quote you the price for your dates, and then they will quote you lower prices for moving your departure/arrival dates by one or two days. Don’t believe it can make that much of a difference? How about up to 30% savings!?  There is no hard & fast rule about which days are cheaper, but generally weekend and holidays are more expensive. One time I booked a flight to depart Friday and return Sunday, and by adjusting the departure to Thursday and arrival to Monday I actually paid a lot less and got more travel time out of it.

As a Canadian it is no secret that Traveling Domestic is extremely expensive. Luckily for you it’s also extremely competitive between airlines to grab your business. Airlines are constantly competing for the best prices on the most popular routes so be sure to use an online booking company that compares all of the airlines running flights on the dates of your travel. They will find the lowest price for you.

Have you noticed that direct flights are always more expensive than ones with one or two stops along the way?  A  Direct Flight is always my preference for obvious reasons, but when a layover is the only option that keeps me in my budget, I will choose a layover in a city that I have friends living in or that I would love to visit, and will select the longest layover that will give me time for a quick pop out of the airport for lunch close by! By saving money on a flight with a layover, I now have some extra money in the travel budget to add on this little bonus in my trip.

Fly anywhere in the world at the lowest available prices. FlightHub custom algorythm finds the cheapest prices from each airline to ensure you get the best deals. Right now until September 30 2017, you will receive a BOOSTED Cash Back Rebate when you book your Flight with Great Canadian Rebates and FlightHub.

As a Canadian, I do truly appreciate all of our seasons and the experiences they bring us. Colorful leaves and walks through the forest in the fall, Skiing in the winter, but summer, Summer is my favorite season for FASHION!

Eddie Bauer is running their Semi-Annual Sale right now, and you can Save up to 60% on everything you need to stay cool and look great this summer!

 CAPRIS are a must-have for me! Dress them up with heels and a blouse for work/a night out, or combine them with flips flops and a Tee for a relaxed afternoon. They are a comfortable temperature for both outside in the sunshine and inside where the AC is blasting. And let’s be honest, this Canadian Gal still has pastey white legs, Capris are a trendy cover-up.

SUMMER DRESSES are such an easy go-to fashion piece. My closet has a variety; Maxi, T-Shirt, Cross-Over, Long Sleeve Shirt and more. Slip in to a Summer Dress and stroll through downtown, dip your toes in the water at the beach, or dance the night away at the club. Summer Dresses have such versatility, and no matching with other articles of clothing required!

SWEATERS are still required in our Canadian Summers. Cold Air Conditioning at the office, or cooler summer nights are always more bearable with a cute sweater.

The Eddie Bauer Semi-Annual Sale is only for a limited time. Shop this sale now until July 7 2017.

Cash Back Rebate on all Eddie Bauer purchases (excluding Gift Cards) is 2.5%

Even though we are just weeks away from the official celebration of Canada turning 150 years young, this milestone is being recognized all year long across the country. I believe that everyone who lives in Canada should really take advantage of the incredible Canadian Pride that is being shown from coast to coast.

One of the first things that I did was sign up for my free Parks Canada Discovery Pass. The kids and I have looked over the long list of National Parks, Marine Conservation Areas and Historic Attractions that we can visit, and will be taking a lot of weekend road trips this summer to see as many as we can! Did you know that you can also receive a 2017 seasonal lockage permit, free of charge?!

This past weekend I packed an overnight bag and the dog & I took a road trip out to our Nation’s Capital, Ottawa. A stroll through the ByWard Market is always a treat to the senses, and now they have some really cool interactive displays in celebration of Canada turning 150. Something worth checking out!

One thing that I am really loving, is some of the ways I have been able to integrate my Canadian Pride in to my home, in a really fun and stylish way. Red Adirondack chairs on my deck and throw pillows with Maple Leaves and Moose on my couch are two of my favorite finds.

Amazon.ca wants you to Celebrate 150 years of Canada, with some Flag-inspired red and white gear, fascinating Canadian Literature, Canadian Coffee, Music from our beloved Canadian artists, Toys & Games, fabulous Cell Phone Cases, and my favorite, gift certificates and a Amazon.ca $25 Gift Card in a Maple Leaf Tin. What a thoughtful hostess gift for summer visits, in a collectible Maple Leaf Tin!

Oh Canada, our Home and Native Land…….we live in a beautiful country eh, wish Canada a Happy Birthday by seeing as much as you can this year, and showing your Red & White pride!
