CONGRATS TO WINNER BONNIE!
Want to be one of the first to see the new Broadway show, The Heiress? I’m dying to see it, especially because Jessica Chastain – you know, the actress from the Help 
and Lawless – is starring in it.
The Heiress is the story of Catherine Sloper, the shy and sheltered daughter of a prominent New Yorker. Caught between the demands of a controlling father and the attentions of a passionate young suitor, Catherine must navigate the terrain of love and regret, desire and duty, a chance for happiness and the burden of fortune…as only an heiress can.
We’re giving away one pair of tickets to see the Heiress!

I have signed up for multiple movie screener websites. I receive emails on a weekly basis inviting me to movie screeners. As a result, I haven’t paid to see a movie in years! You can also walk by certain movie theaters and they are often giving out movie tickets to movies not released yet.

While not exactly “free,” 1 dollar CDs at Housing Works Thrift Shop is a great deal!

Not quite free, but Studentrush.org often has $5 tickets to Broadway and off-Broadway shows. (And you don’t have to be a student.) The Times Square stairs are also a great place to eat lunch and people-watch.

Two free things that create happiness from losing:
1) the absolutely wonderful and currently computerized free weight loss program/app called loseit.com . You register on line and then download the program to your smartphone (I have an android but it works on other phones too) and use it to track your food and exercise.
2) Dress For Success NY, at 32 East 31st Street (212-532-1932), where you can happily donate the gently used work clothing that is now too big due to your success using Loseit.
