Craft Idea!

This a super easy craft that saves you money! A big thing now in home decor is chalkboards in bathrooms, kitchens etc but they cost a pretty penny at places like Target, Kohls and even Marshall's! Try this alternative: go to the thrift store and purchase a picture that includes the frame AND glass. Doesn't matter if the print is some horrendous watercolour or creepy clown print. You don't want to spend a ton of money (the one is my picture was $4.99) but spend as much as you want depending on what frame you want! Next go to any place that carries crafts and pick up a thing of chalkboard paint. Pick up some brushes as well that will best suit your picture size. Take those guys home and paint the glass with the chalkboard paint, 2 coats should do it and make sure to wait an hour between coats. Then hang it up and have fun and be creative!

Klout Revlon Perk

Received a Klout Perk in the mail today!

It's a full sized bottle of Revlon Nearly Naked liquid foundation. I think I'll test it out tonight when Eric and I head out to Denver for the MIKA concert to see how it holds up. I'll add a full review later!

I was given a free product or sample because I'm a Klout Influencer, I am under no obligation to receive the sample or talk about this company. I get no additional benefits for talking about the product or company.

Freebie Websites

In all my wanderings across the internet, I have found many websites that claim to send "FREEBIES" but as I have come to find out, only some of them follow through. The ones I use do require a bit of work on your part but nothing that would take more than maybe 15 minutes of your life total. Which webpages do I use? Good question! Below I will list the websites I use, what you can expect and what goodies I have personally recieved:

Bzzagent: (www.bzzagent.com) I LOVE this websites. Bzzagent measures your "score" based on taking surveys on their website to ensure you are getting the best offers and also how much you share information on the products you get on sites like Facebook and Twitter. They score you based on a numerical score of 0-10 and the higher your number the more chances you have for products. I have received such campaigns (what they call you awesome freebies) as Morningstar Farms, Campbells to Go Soup, Nescafe Memento Coffee, Schick Hydro Silk, Burt's Bees and Covergirl! Check them out, sign up and starting getting those campaigns!

Klout: (www.klout.com) This is a great website if you are connected to a lot of social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Instagram. When you sign up you pick which "topics" you believe you are influential in such as Beauty, Cooking, Travel, Coffee etc etc and then based off these you are given "perks". The other factor the site measures is how much interaction your posts on social media get, so the higher your interactions, the higher your score and the more "perks" you get. They also take into account what areas you live in and give you "perks" based on what is happening your area such as movie premieres, movie/music festivals or other events. I have received things like McDonald's gift cards, a box of Fair Trade foods, Crest whitestripes, Burt's Bees and Carol's Daughter.

Influenster: (www.influenster.com) This websites is not as easy to navigate as the others but when you get offers they tend to be awesome. You earn "badges" is areas that you are interesting in and have to deal with your life such as: High Spirts, Urbanite, Pop Culture or Decorator. You have various tasks under each badge that you complete to get your score higher until you reach 100 in that area. You are offered what the site calls"VoxBoxes" which can be anything from a box of beauty products, health food or more specific products from specific brands. I have recieved a box of Palmolive dish soaps (3 full size bottles) and a box of Summer goodies that included suntan lotion, KIND bars etc etc. Like I said, there is more to this website than most others but it's something you can devote a 1/2 an hour or so every few days!


I will leave you with those sites to navigate and explore! Have fun, be honest and I wish you all goodies and freebies!
