I'm soooo exhausted!!

Today's gonna be fast. I haven't done much, I've been running errands all day!!
Worst part is I'm going to lose my daily SB streak, but I am about to run out and finish some more errands. So, yeah, quick. Last night I had about $25 worth of FREE stuff points with a website called yardsellr. An online yardsale. I bought 4, multi pieced items for under $20! Stuff that is normally over $20-$30 each! As hope that maybe someone else will join and I'll get more of the FREE points(Photon$) I'll post my link here::

Today...

August 19, 1983 - June 29, 2004
I just wanted to post this short blog about someone very important in my life. 
My cousin Scottie passed away 8 years ago today. The baby in the picture is his son, born 3 months after he passed away. The photo is kind of old since it's all I had without my external hard drive.
Anyway, in remembrance of Scottie and anyone you have lost, light a candle tonight so your loved ones can find their way home.

Swagbucks, Free Gift & an Awesome Sale!

So yesterday evening I set onto a swagbucks.com to get my daily SB to keep my streak going. As I was searching, I saw one for Yves Rocher and over 200 SB, so I decided to check it out. Let me tell you what, am I ever glad that I decided to go and check it out! Just so you know, Yves Rocher has perfumes, skin care, hair care, body care, gift sets, makeup and bath items and even a few items for the home.
First thing I noticed when I went on the site was a HUGE banner telling me I could get a five piece rainbow container set when I made a purchase. Whoa. That's pretty cool to me, especially since I just lost a few of my easily stacked containers! So I decided to give the site further exploration. While I was looking, I noticed a smaller banner on a different page telling me that all SUMMER items were 45% off!
So first you're telling me I get 5 free containers with ANY purchase AND 45% off summer/select items, next I find out that if your purchase is $15 or more, you get ANOTHER free gift, at $40+ free shipping, and then at $45 you get yet ANOTHER free gift! That's 3 free gifts!!! Okay, this can't get much better, right? Wrong. I decided, just for fun, to see if I could find an online coupon. RetailMeNot had a 5% off coupon. Boy, I am STILL glad I decided to go to this site.
Now, here comes the bad news... First, I can't remember exactly what area I found the link from swagbucks to earn the points. And second, I have yet to GET my SB. Now, I do believe this is because they don't give them until the item is shipped, but I haven't done a paid for item for SB so I'm not exactly sure. I will keep you updated on that one. If I don't get them by the time I receive the package, I will definitely be talking to them.

Okay, and the next thing I wanted to share with you guys is a new site a friend sent to me. They do daily sweeps and other things that you can win free prizes for. I'll post the link. I only visited the page once so far and haven't don't much with it, so I can't fully tell you everything.

So today for the sites I mentioned, here are the links::

http://www.yvesrocherusa.com/control/main/ - 45% off today!!

http://www.retailmenot.com/ - They have tons of coupons for in store and online that you can't find most places. Sometimes the online coupons are expired, so keep searching through them to find one that will work. So far I've saved over $500 shopping online while using this website!

http://sweetiessweeps.com/ - Sweeties Sweeps is the website I mentioned with links for daily sweeps and other great items.

Did you say FREE?

Okay guys, I know that no one really reads this, but hey, I figured that I would just type up and post this anyway to see if anyone does come check it out.

Recently I've been investing some time into freebie sites. You may be thinking, "What is a freebie site?" So I'll tell you. A lot of bloggers out there have also invested their time, not only into filling the freebies out, but posting about them daily. Freebies range from anything from coupons that will give you your complete money back, to a free trail of a product.
Normally, after filling out a form, they thank you and I've noticed many say you will see the product in 4-6 weeks. Not too bad if it's free, right? That's what I thought, so I started doing them. I started with these sites about 3 weeks ago and today I received my first freebie. A 2 pack trail of Breathe Right strips. Can't complain, I never know when I'll need them!

So I wanted to break down some of my favorite freebie sites for you guys. Now, don't forget, some of them don't only post freebies, but they also post coupons to help save some money.

1) Swagbucks.com

Guys, I love swagbucks, plain and simple. All you need to do is sign up and start saving up your swagbucks. The site rewards you for doing what you would do anyway, searching. Instead of using google/bing, use swagbucks. Now, you don't get points every search you do, but normally, I've noticed I get them about 3 times a day. You can also earn more than just the SB for searching, you can get them for playing games, referring friends, watching videos of all sorts and then there are trials you can fill out for SB. I'm tempted to start the Netflix trail and get 1000 SB. I've been thinking about getting one for a bit, and I think I will when I get the money. Why not do it through swagbucks, get the points and then save them for anything in the swagstore? Sounds like a deal to me. The worth of swagbucks does vary per item. An amazon gift card is relatively 90SB to the dollar but others are different.
Also, if you like using coupons to save that extra dollar, Swagbucks offers easy to print coupons and once they're scanned at a store, give them 8-10 weeks and receive 10SB per coupon!! Save money on food and get rewarded for it!!
You can redeem points from anything like a PS3, Xbox 360, gift cards to amazon, Lands End, L. L. Bean and other retailers in your area, to kids items like bottles & toys, to jewelry and many more items!
I highly recommend checking swagbucks out ASAP and start saving up your points! Here's a link to start now & there is also a widget on the sidebar!!

2) FreebieShark.com


Like I mentioned above that some people post daily about freebies, this site is one of them. This is my main "freebie" site and I check it out every so many hours to apply for new things. I'm not sure who exactly does it, but it's simple enough of a layout that you can understand and they let you know as soon as an item is no longer free so you don't waste your time and get frustrated trying to figure out if the link was wrong or if you just didn't get there in time. On Sunday they post a picture of their weekly freebies and give you links to let you know if the freebie is still there or not.

3) Influenster.com


Now, I haven't been a member of this site for long and it's not your normal freebie site. After you register, you fill out a survey and do some of their badges. Continue to earn as many as you can because when they send out a VoxBox, you want to have as many badges as possible so they have as much info about who you are as they can get. Now you're asking, what's a VoxBox? Influenster puts together kits every so often(I think once or twice a month, not completely sure on this since I am new-er to the site.) and uses the information given in your badges to select some candidates to try the products in the kit and post reviews on the items. If you do NOT want to post blog/video or Facebook reviews, don't bother registering with this site. Those who are chosen get the VoxBox in the mail and then review everything. VoxBox candidates are NOT paid to review these items, they do it for free to try the products out. I am hoping to receive my first VoxBox shortly! I pre-qualified, now I'm just waiting for the confirmation e-mail and I'm pretty excited, I won't lie.
If you do sign up and don't receive a VoxBox for a bit, don't be upset, it is based on how many badges you have and if you meet the requirements. Like, if you're a man, they're most likely not going to send you a VoxBox addressed to female products. If you're a teenager without a kid, they're most likely not going to send you a VoxBox addressed to moms or parents.

4) Freebies4Mom.com


This Mom is amazing. She posts daily sweeps, freebies and much, much more. I check her out daily. She also post coupons on her site, but I normally use Swagbucks for that. You don't need to be a mom to be a fan of this site. She posts the normal freebies, but also finds the extra things that are more family/mom/kid oriented. If you are a mom and can't find certain things you were hoping for on other sites, head on over here and check her out.
http://freebies4mom.com/


I do believe that's all my freebie sites for today. Sometimes, I do hit a few others up, but normally ones I search for on swagbucks. I'm going to try to keep posting on my blog here and get a few more viewers and keep you guys posted on all the great freebies. I will be trying to post Sunday Mail Calls as well, but I probably won't know exactly where to find the links for the items, but it'll show you exactly what you can get for free! Once I (hopefully) get my Summer VoxBox from influenster, I'm going to post a video of me opening it and a review of the items on my youtube and link my youtube here.

Random, but also;; If you like jewelry, kawaii items, or little trinkets, check out this awesome site my sister and I put together of our favorite creations. Every item on our etsy is handmade, some are inspired by other artists/crafters. Free gift with every purchase!!
