Walmart Launches Free Layaway, Ditches Fees To Save Customers Cash + Walmart Lanza el Programa de Layaway Gratuito, Elimina Cuotas Para Ahorrarle Dinero a los Clientes !!!

 In front of 6,000 Walmart associates at Walmart's annual holiday meeting Wednesday, chief merchandising and marketing officer Duncan Mac Naughton introduced free layaway with no opening fee. Beginning Sept. 13 through Dec. 13, layaway will kick off the retailer's official start to the holiday season.

"Times are tough and it's not easy for many Americans – they are watching every penny," said Mac Naughton. "All year long, but especially during the holidays, our customers need a low price leader. This year, we are committed to doing everything we did last year to help Americans save money – plus more. More savings, more layaway items and our commitment that they can give their families a great Christmas on a budget."
Walmart's free layaway means no opening fees, no gift-card reimbursements, just free. Eligible layaway items include electronics, toys, jewelry, small appliances and select sporting goods. And new in 2013 are infant toys and automotive electronics such as speakers and stereos.
Walmart Facebook fans will enjoy a two-day head start this year with access to layaway on Sept. 11 and 12.
Walmart's layaway will once again help customers purchase the newest electronics from the brands they know and love like Apple, Google, Samsung, Sony and more. A few of the top electronics the retailer expects to be popular layaway gifts include: 
  • Tablets such as the iPad, iPad Mini, Samsung Galaxy and Google Nexus
  • Smartphones like the iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy 3 (prepaid only)
  • PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles and new releases
  • Big screen (60"+) smart TVs
Walmart also expects toys to be popular for layaway, including:  
  • Furby Boom
  • Barbie Dream House
  • Big Hugs Elmo
  • Zoomer, a robotic dog
  • Bikes and ride-on vehicles
  • Children's tablets and learning toys such as LeapFrog
Using layaway at Walmart is simple. Customers can start a layaway account in any Walmart Supercenter or Walmart store (not including Neighborhood Markets) by visiting the Walmart.com Services Desk. Once a layaway account is opened, customers can make payments at any register in that store between Sept. 13 and Dec. 13, 2013. Walmart will also send payment reminders and status updates to customers via email.
In addition, for added convenience in purchasing select large items, including ride-on vehicles, basketball goals and trampolines, Walmart is introducing new "tear pad" slips that customers can bring to the Walmart.com Services Desk – alleviating the need to carry select bulky items to the counter.

Here's how Walmart's 2013 layaway stacks up to previous years:

Hoy, delante de 6,000 asociados de Walmart en la reunión anual de la temporada navideña, el director general de comercialización y mercadeo, Duncan Mac Naughton, presentó el programa de layaway gratuito, sin cuota de apertura. El programa de layaway que empieza el 13 de septiembre hasta el 13 de diciembre, será el arranque oficial de la temporada navideña del minorista.

"Los tiempos están duros y no es fácil para muchos estadounidenses que están cuidando cada centavo," dijo Mac Naughton. "Durante todo el año, pero especialmente durante la temporada navideña, nuestros clientes necesitan un líder en precios bajos. Este año, estamos comprometidos a hacer todo lo que hicimos el año pasado para ayudar a los estadounidenses a ahorrar dinero – y más. Más ahorros, más artículos en layaway y nuestro compromiso para que ellos puedan dar a sus familias una fabulosa Navidad sin salirse de su presupuesto."
El programa de layaway gratuito de Walmart significa que no hay cuota de apertura, no hay reembolsos en tarjetas de regalo, es simplemente gratis. Los artículos elegibles para layaway incluyen electrónicos, juguetes, joyería, electrodomésticos pequeños y mercancía deportiva seleccionada. Y como novedad este año están los juguetes infantiles y los electrónicos para autos como las bocinas y los estéreos.
Los fans de Walmart en Facebook disfrutarán de dos días de ventaja este año, con acceso al programa de layaway el 11 y 12  de septiembre.
El programa de layaway de Walmart ayudará a los clientes a comprar lo más novedoso en electrónicos de las marcas que ellos conocen y adoran como Apple, Google, Samsung, Sony y más. Algunos de los principales electrónicos que el minorista espera que sean regalos populares del layaway incluyen: 
  • Tabletas como iPad, iPad Mini, Samsung Galaxy y Google Nexus
  • Teléfonos inteligentes como iPhone 5 o Samsung Galaxy 3 (sólo prepagados)
  • Consolas PlayStation 4 y Xbox One y nuevos lanzamientos
  • Televisiones de pantalla grande (60"+)
Walmart también espera que los juguetes sean populares para layaway, incluyendo:  
  • Furby Boom
  • Barbie Dream House
  • Big Hugs Elmo
  • Zoomer, un perro robot
  • Bicicletas y  vehículos de montar
  • Tabletas para niños y juguetes educativos como LeapFrog
Usar el programa de layaway de Walmart es muy sencillo. Los clientes pueden empezar una cuenta de layaway en cualquier Walmart Supercenter o tienda Walmart (no incluye Neighborhood Markets) visitando el centro de servicio de Walmart.com. Una vez abierta la cuenta de layaway, los clientes pueden hacer pagos en cualquier caja registradora en esa tienda entre el 13 de septiembre hasta el 13 de diciembre de 2013. Walmart también enviará recordatorios de pago y estados de cuenta a los clientes vía correo electrónico.
Además, para mayor conveniencia en la compra de artículos grandes seleccionados, incluyendo vehículos para montar, canastas de basquetbol y trampolines, Walmart está introduciendo las nuevas "hojas desprendibles" que los clientes pueden llevar al centro de servicio de Walmart.com – aliviando la necesidad de transportar artículos voluminosos hasta el mostrador.

Así es como el programa de layaway 2013 de Walmart se compara a años anteriores:

To achieve this effect use the black pencil from the new L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Eye Liner Collection covering half of the eyelid and then sealing itwith a black or gray eye shadow. Use a dome shape brush to blend out and eliminate any harsh lines.
·         Her eyelashes were absolutely stunning. We all know Eva is a huge fan of false eyelashes however the trick to this look is to seal fake lashes with your real ones with a mascara. Use L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Excess Mascara to blend the lashes and create an angled effect towards the corners of your eyes.

Latin Sensation Gloria Estefan Embraces The Rhythm Of Life & Love After 50 In The August/September Issue Of AARP The Magazine

 Grammy Award-winning Cuban-American powerhouses Gloria and Emilio Estefan have made their way to the top of the charts for more than thirty years. With more than 100 million albums sold, and a combined total of 26 Grammys, the beloved duo speak candidly about their personal and professional reinventions and their enduring 30-year romance in the August/September issue of AARP The Magazine. Says Gloria Estefan of her partner, "I always felt that we were meant to be together."

The following are excerpts from the August/September issue of the AARP The Magazine cover story featuring Gloria Estefan, available in homes August 1st and online NOW with an exclusive free music download of her new single from the forthcoming album, "The Standards," at http://www.aarp.org/magazine .

** Quotes from Gloria Estefan **



On how music helped her to cope with her father's multiple sclerosis diagnosis
"I wanted to be strong for my mom, but it was very tough for me. If there's ever been a dark moment in my life… well, I wanted to check out. Music was a big escape."



On embracing life at 50+
"This is the time in my life when I'm doing everything I want to do, when I want to do it. It's 'me time.'"



On the secret to their marriage
"He's kept me laughing and I think that's a big part of our relationship too and why it's been so good so long. Because if you can laugh with somebody, that's healing for sure."



On the qualities she most admires in her husband
"Oh my gosh, Emilio—he's a dreamer who makes things a reality."

"What really drew me to him was his incredible energy. He's a motivator and he certainly motivated me and everyone around him. He was my boss for a year so I really got to know him before we got together as a couple."


On keeping the romance alive
"Romance is a part of our life every minute. My favorite thing is when he leaves on a trip I will find a little note somewhere I didn't expect: 'I love you baby' either next to my toothbrush or on our pillow."



On recovering from nearly severing her spinal cord in a 1990 bus accident
"I learned firsthand the power of prayer. People will never realize how much their good thoughts helped me."



On feeling a connection to her native Cuba
"There's something that pulls me to Cuba and its plight, even though I've been here for more than 50 years. That love of a homeland that no longer is the same reaches into every aspect of who I am."



On what she is most proud of
"What I'm most proud of is that our kids love us—every time my son hangs up the phone 'Mom I Love you.' My daughter as well she's an amazing human being and our son as well."



On turning her and Emilio's life together into a Broadway musical
"There are so many story lines. It's a universal story, it's an immigrant story, and it's a love story. In the United States, if you believe in yourself and you're determined and persevere, you're going to succeed."


** Quotes from Emilio Estefan **




On paying cash for the properties he owns
"My success is not about money. But the real estate—as an immigrant, you always want to have a backup. Something happens to you, you don't want your kids to go through what you went through."



On how music changed his life
"Music took me away from the pain. It took me nine years to raise enough to bring my mom and older brother from Cuba to Miami. That was nine years apart from my family."



On defying age stereotypes
"Age gives you something you cannot buy. It gives you wisdom, balance and peace."

"I'm doing the biggest things of my life right now."


On first love
"When you like somebody, it's about the smell, the eyes, the whole feel about the person. I don't believe in first love. I think you like the person but you need to get to know the person."
