Affiliate Links Disclosure: This page contains affiliate links. This simply means that I receive points for promoting some of these freebies & deals.

This little secret was my start to falling head over heels for free items. I figured out that not only could I scour the internet for coupons or discount codes, but there was also a way for me to receive an entire BOX of products from different brands all at one time direct in my mail.

These products range from household products, make-up, kids items, foods, and more!

You will need to do a few steps to earn these boxes. They call them a VoxBox. They make it so simple and it directly benefits you as you won't receive items you really have no use for.

Here is the guide on how to get started.
1. Click here to Join- Influenster , and register for an account
2. Connect your Social Media Accounts
3. Fill out the survey questions (be honest on the answers, you don't want to receive pet food if you don't have a pet)
4. Complete your "snaps" which gives brands a better idea of items you use and gives you a chance to review items you have purchased previously for your home.

Reviewing of items and completing your snaps helps you increase your chances of receiving a box. The only request they make in return for the free products is that you come back and write a review on the products.

I received all this for FREE!!!!

So, what are you waiting for? Join me in this awesome network and become and an Influencer today.

When You Fall in Love

When you fall in love with a product you find a way to use it all the time. Unfortunately with this new product from Urban Decay, once you apply it, it lasts forever (OK, maybe not forever but for a very long time). And, it is really not that unfortunate that it lasts forever because it allows you to have fun all night long and know your eyes are still as appealing as when you left the house. What am I talking about? What new product must you add to your wishlist RIGHT NOW???

It is the new Urban Decay 24/7 Troublemaker Mascara and Eyeliner Pencil Duo. The eyeliner is a true waterproof product and the mascara will lengthen your lashes to their fullest potential. Get that perfect line of perfection with the eyeliner pencil and have that perfect winged look we all aim for.

Check out Urban Decay today for all the top of the line cosmetics.

If it wasn't for my kids my house would be alot cleaner.

That's right, I said it, and I know most of you can agree. As we look around our floor throughout the day we can count the accumulation and decoration of toys through each room. Each pile telling a story of another day adventure for one of the little ones. My kids are addicted to stickers and I swear they are worse then Legos when you step on them. These STICK no matter what you do until you rip if off the bottom of your foot. Ugh!

Now, even though I hate stickers and all of these toys, I do LOVE when I can get them for free. Did you know there is alot of organizations that will mail you stickers, bookmarks, kids magazines and even DVDs sometimes. Also, how happy would your child be if they could check the mail and have something that was mailed to them!
I have listed below a few I have used and I'm sure there is tons more out there.

Check these great offers out!

FREE Lorax Activity Book
Animals Activity Book & Stickers
TMNT Fan Club Kit

I will add more in future posts and definitely as new ones become available.

Booty...Booty...Bootay!!!!!

So what is the one thing Mom's have the hardest time spending money on? 

OURSELVES!

Yes, that is right -As mother's there is always something or someone that is more important or who really needs something right then that the money to actually buy ourselves something is non-existent. We will go months sometimes even years without getting what we need, want or desire. 

I personally never clothes shop for myself. If I do it is usually at a thrift store and off the 50¢ rack. I have no shame as some of these items are AMAZING but sometimes you just want something new.

Well, I come to give you this advice, when ever you come across an advertisement for "free first box" and "cancel subscription anytime" you should do just that. I signed up for BootayBag.com who was offering a free first subscription box. After completing my registration and entering my debit card info I was automatically signed up for my free box. Once I received my confirmation (which happened within 15 minutes) I re-entered my account and canceled my subscription. By doing this it halted any future boxes being ordered or charged. Today in the mail I received my 2 free pair of women's underwear! 

Take Note: You MUST, MUST, MUST CANCEL the subscription or you WILL BE CHARGED. This is part of your legwork in getting these deals the way to have them be FREE.

Best way to locate the boxes - GOOGLE!

SEARCH TERM: FREE SUBSCRIPTION BOXES

Hope this helps you gain some more free goodies.

Sometimes We Just Want to Hear Something Nice

Sometimes We Just 

Want to Hear 

Something Nice

As it is nearing 10:30 pm and I am just now able to sit down, sip a cup of luke warm coffee, and start to write this post, I think about all the complaints I have heard today. The food wasn't hot enough, the water isn't cold enough, there isn't enough toys and this cartoon isn't the exact one we all want to watch. My outfit isn't the right color and oh no!.. the cup is the wrong color AND I refuse to drink anything out of it.

Yes, those daily complaints that fill our head and drive us crazy. We all know them, have them and deal with them. Doesn't mean we like to, Right?!

Let me ask you this.... Do you like getting coupons in the mail from brands you love? Take a few minutes of your day to send them a compliment on how much you love their products. Tell them why you love their products, how long have you been a customer, what makes you love their brand. As a company/corporation most of customer service agent's days are spent listening to complaints and issues from consumers. What a horrible day!! If you can brighten someone's day and possibly get discounted items, wouldn't you jump all over it.

Here is some personal examples of companies I contacted based upon my families loves and frequently purchased items.

Example 1: My family loves taquitos. My daughter basically eats them by the box full. You know, those rolled up mini burritos in a corn shell tortilla. We can't keep them in my house for more then a day and the cost can add up. I contacted Jose Ole customer service (which is through another corporate company) and let them know how much we valued their brand. In return they sent me (3) $2.00 off coupons!

Example 2: Chobani yogurt is a highly desired snack in my house for myself. A quick bite and easy to gulp down while on the go. I wrote a quick email to Chobani and let them know I appreciated their healthy addition to my grocery list and they issued me a thank you note with a 50% off coupon (which I already used)

Not sure what to say??? A quick and easy communication sample:
Hi (brand) rep,
My name is XXX and I wanted to take a minute to let you know how much I love your products and am a dedicated buyer of your brands while shopping. Thanks for making a beneficial product for your consumers.  If you have any coupons or samples you would be able to send to me I would highly appreciate it. My address is xxxx xxxx xxxx.. I hope you have a fantastic afternoon. Thank you, (your name)

Have fun sending some cheer and smiles and just see what you get back!

I don't believe in saving the 
best for last... 

😊😊

Honestly, I don't really believe there is a "best in last".. 




As we grow, our loves and likes for things change making the best, the next thing, not the last.  How many trends or sites have we gone through that were labeled as the "Best in ....." and ended up being a complete waste of time (and sometimes money).

So, as I write today I wanted to start you out with my most loved website.If you want some extra cash, which can be brought in daily if work is performed diligently, then this is a route you want to check into. As you see I have earned $530.33 from this website. I am not claiming this site will make you rich but this is verified earnings that have been paid out direct to my personal Bank Account. 

I was scouring the Internet for any true survey site I could join up with to make an income from. I literally came across almost every scam you could. I answered a bunch of initial "profile surveys" that promised to match me with these high paying, short surveys that were in abundance. Upon sign up I realized the potential of maybe 1-2 actual paying surveys were there and then 100 more "opportunities" if I completed silver or gold promotional demands. Ugh, what a waste of 15 minutes of my time 150x a week. While raising kids you quickly begin to realize there is no time in your day to be wasted, so these unsuccessful efforts really became annoying.

Then I finally found what I was looking for. And I found it here: Amazon Mechanical Turk Once you sign up to be a worker you will shortly know this to be MTurk. Amazon Mechanical Turk has partnered with colleges, research organizations, translation companies, and more to provide a worker to requester network. Jobs complete from $0.00 - $8.00 on an average when you first start. As you complete more surveys you will receive additional qualifications opening up higher paying surveys. Now, trust me, I HATE the normal survey sites... as much as I'm not one of those Rich Housewife's, this isn't one of those normal survey sites. It normally takes about 3min - 20min to complete a survey. They ask actual questions that help research and concept ideas. They team up with musicians wanting to get feedback on their new music and they also have surveys in more then just the English language. Are you good at translation services, they have small jobs available to earn income from as well.

In a future post I will explain some tips and tricks to earning the most money from this website. In the meantime, sign up and get working. Feel free to post comments along your journey. I'd love to hear your success stories, questions or just to say hi!

Until then, stay tuned for all my future posts, with the "next" way to earn some money from home.

Sincerely Yours,

A Real Housewife....Just Not a Rich One

I'm a Housewife....Just not the kind you are thinking of!

Yes, I am a housewife but not the type of housewife you watch on t.v. You know the ones I am talking about - They run around all day in beautiful dresses and high heels. They have brunches and late night dinners at fancy bistro's and all the greatest hot spots in town. They lead a lavish lifestyle that almost seems to never consist of a day of actual work.  And, last but not least, their hair and make-up is always perfection...Ya, that's not me. :)

I am the other type of housewife. The one that raises 4 kids, hair is almost always a mess, and I'm lucky if I can get a new outfit on that stays clean past an hour. My boyfriend is always out of town working to keep our family afloat in these difficult times and though I am able to stay home I was finding myself struggling to gain an income substantial enough to make a big impact in our families financial future.

Over time and a lot of research I have had the greatest opportunity of exploring very simple, straightforward, and honest ways to earn an income and now I want to share those with you. You do not have to struggle through life as a mother, father, wife or husband. You can make a difference for you. Please follow my blog as I share these methods. Ask questions, get involved. I hope this helps you as much as it has me. 

Sincerely Yours,
