A home is a lot like a Rubik's cube—many people attempt to properly coordinate its shapes and colors, but few can do so without painting over the entire thing. Solve puzzling design problems with today's Groupon: for $12, you get a home-décor package (up to a $33.95 value). The package includes:
- Two tickets to the Midwest Home Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center (up to a $16 value). Tickets are valid throughout the weekend on the following dates:
- Friday, November 18 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- Saturday, November 19 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Sunday, November 20 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Two-year subscription to Midwest Home magazine (a $17.95 value)
Solely dedicated to improving homeowners' living spaces, the Midwest Home Show and Midwest Home magazine collect expert advice, attractive designs, and decorating ideas to inspire abode-beautifying projects. More than 200 Twin City remodelers, landscapers, and designers take up temporary residence in the Minneapolis Convention Center to display decorative wares, share the latest in-home-design trends, and host panels discussing the evolution of man caves. Exterior aestheticians cultivate green-thumb designs with seven lush garden and landscape displays, and chefs sauté delectable dishes in cooking demos. Attendees interested in updating their domicile can purchase high-end items, such as modern bathroom faucets and leather-bound refrigerators, at a discounted rate.
For year-round abode advice, patrons can scour the pages of Midwest Home magazine in search of local stunning homes and gardens, tips from decorators, and features on interior and exterior beautification. Trendy kitchens and classically furnished dining rooms display their chic configurations in full-color photos accompanied by in-depth interviews with glassware to discover their motivation for staying in shape. Periodicals appear in mailboxes on a bi-monthly basis, with the publication's annual HomeBook arriving every winter to proffer decorating and home-addition ideas.
Though Midwest Home Show offers a discounted rate online, today's Groupon still offers the best deal available.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Safeguarding Your Computer
It's a world wild web out there, full of viruses, trojan horses, and cyber mummies. Consult this guide to keeping your computer squeaky clean:
A thumbprint on your monitor might be on the inside of the screen—use a screwdriver to get it out.
There are only three safe websites: robinwilliams.net, robinwilliams.org, and will.i.am.
Keep your computer "clean" by removing all the swears from your Excel documents and deleting any pictures of people kissing.
Look out for Trons!
Draw a picture of a scarecrow in MS Paint and set it as your background. It won't stop viruses, but it will kill filthy birds near your computer.
Crumbs between keys can become sustenance for viruses to breed. Replace your keyboard every three hours.
Cell phones are tiny computers that will fit in your dishwasher. You're welcome.
