This Black Friday, many people skipped the early morning mad rush to the doors of their favorite department store. Instead they chose to shop in the comfort of their own homes on Cyber Monday.
With Cyber Monday kicking off in just a few hour, comparison search engine SortPrice.com has released “10 Commandments” every online shopper should follow to ensure a safe, secure, and most of all, productive shopping experience as they comb the internet for gifts this Monday and every day.
“We’re committed to enhancing the e-commerce experience for everyone and part of that responsibility is educating people about the right way to shop online,” said Doron Simovitch, SortPrice.com’s co-founder and CEO. “With so many people turning to the internet now for deals, it’s more important than ever that shoppers keep their safety and security in mind when using the web during the holidays.”
You can be safe while enjoying your online shopping experience this season with SortPrice’s 10 Commandments for Holiday Shopping.
• Update your home computer’s anti-virus software and security tools before you start shopping, and if using a wireless connection, make sure it’s encrypted with a password.
• Be thorough in your research: utilize all the resources the internet provides, compare prices and search for online-only bargains to guarantee that you’re saving money.
• Order in advance to ensure you don’t get hurt by holiday shipping delays and check stock availability for a given product before you place an order.
• Use credit cards instead of debit cards. You’ll be better protected from fraud and face less liability in the event of your card number being stolen
• Carefully review every online retailer’s terms and conditions as well as their return policies, as they vary industry-wide.
• Create or update new online passwords that are unique and difficult to steal. Avoid pet names, birthdays, etc. and incorporate numbers and characters.
• Shop only on certifiably secure websites: look for ‘https://’ URLs that indicate secure connections when placing orders and entering personal information.
• Be diligent about where you disclose personal information including phone numbers, addresses and financial information and avoid unverifiable entities.
• Look for delivery guarantees from online retailers and always keep hard copies of email confirmations of orders and delivery status.
• Beware of certain promotional emails requesting personal information or promising a special deal as they could be part of a ‘phishing’ scam.

For awhile there, I had an obsession with readers, dollar store readers. I bought a pair from every discount store I could find. Then once, I was gifted with a pair, a real pair. I threw out all of my cheapies! I realized, like everything else, it’s all about quality…quality lenses, quality frames, quality function and optical quality. Do like I did..get rid of the cheapies and enjoy the difference. Try a pair from CINZEA Designs. Browse their website. They have so many to offer. My “Fave” is the Industrial reader in Bronze. Check out their great eyewear necklaces too & more. www.cinziadesigns.com

$150 SoHo, NY, $95 Corvallis, OR, $125 Sarasota, FL. These are just a few examples of the cost for One (1) microdermabrasion treatment in spas across the US. So this should sound really good to you. It does to me, Age Sciences Personal Microderm at-home system. It works just like the professional spa treatments but saves you hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars. Check out the website for a “How it Works” video, before and after photos, testimonials, to order & more. www.personalmicroderm.com

This is a brand new addition to the Creative Professional Hair Tools brush line and I am so glad that I got to be one of the first to try it. The Wet/Dry Brush works great on both wet & dry hair and can be used every day. It’s a perfect brush for detangling extensions, weaves, wigs and all types of hair. I immediately put one in my gym bag and it’s great for spa days too. The bristles have coated tips that glide through hair easily. It will not rip hair or irritate your scalp. www.creativehairtools.com .
The folks at Creative Professional Hair Tools are offering interested consumers all of their hair-care products at %15 off for the holidays! This offer ends December 31st. Use promo code “c15″ at checkout.

It’s always fun to find candy in your holiday stocking and even better when it’s Hard Candy! Right now, I am especially loving Hard Candy’s Visibly Wet Shockingly Glossy Lip Pencil. It’s only $4.80 at walmart.com! I am wearing Brown Sugar right now. I have layered it with the Rose shade in the past too. It looks great both ways. My niece is rockin’ their Eye Def these days in Pool Boy. Check out the other cool names like Ditch & Liar. www.walmart.com

Bazaar named Mama Mio’s Skincare Get Waisted Body Shaper The Best of the Best 2009. Well, it’s almost 2011 and it’s still on my “Best” list. It’s for love handles, muffin tops, pot bellies and mommy tummies. It’s a cream made with effective extracts, caffeine & other important ingredients. You massage it in every night for 30 seconds or more, clockwise. It tightens skin without a bunch of nasty ingredients like parabens, phthalates & synthetic fragrances, but this does not give you permission to skip the ab jamming! www.mamamio.com

This is Glam! It’s Ramy’s OMG! Over Mascara Glitter & Liner. It’s the new “must have” beauty product from celebrity makeup artist and brow king Ramy. OMG! has got a cool 2-in-1 Mascara/Eyeliner wand. You apply the three Dimensional Holographic Shimmer alone or layered over mascara and eyeliner. Take this tip from Ramy: Keep your lips and cheeks shimmer free when using OMG! so the focus is all on the eyes! www.ramy.com
