I got my VoxBox on 03/06/12

My Love VoxBox is finally here. Influenster is a wonderful site that I found out about from a fellow YouTuber 29Tequilla. I unlocked as many badges as I could and they sent me a email about 1 1/2 weeks ago. They said to follow some steps to confirm enrollment into this box and I did then my box arrive pretty quickly. They were all shipped on February 24th so I received my box rather quickly. This is a great way to try new products and introduce them to other people.

 This is what I got in my first box!

• Gillette Venus & Olay Razor
• Kiss Nail Dress: Fashion That Sticks
• Stash Herbal Tea Sampler
• Truvia
• Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate
• and 1 coupon for $1.00 off 2 bars of chocolate

This is so exciting!

I love the new products for me to try and test. Here are some pictures and the video I made:

This is what it looked like when I opened the box!

Reading the influenster card!

Just got started with mark. this week!

I have been wanting to start mark. for a while and finally had the 21.95 to do so. I did it on Monday which was the 11th of July. I am excited to begin. I have done some things so far like set up my eboutique store and my facebook fan page Truly Enchanted mark. I have also received my mark. start up kit on Thursday and bought my mark. business cards which should be here by the end of this week. I am so excited as I said. I get discounts and rewards because I am selling mark. I don't need to even sell the products and there are never any fees when I don't do anything with mark. I can just use my account for the discounts off the products, but I want to sell and I am truly loving this!

Mckay's Used Bookstore In Knoxville

Update: I got everything sorted out and I am happy with the results. I am going to give the store another chance.

I am royally pissed. On friday July 1st 2011 I went to trade in some of my used books that consists of Nora Roberts, Debbie Mccomber, and Harlequin novels. I am so pissed I waited for 1 and 1/2 hours on my books to get don't then when they didn't call my number I went up there to see what was up. They counted my books and everything but screwed up when they didn't count any of them. I trusted the employees to know where my books are and they didn't know where they went. I wanted cash for them and that didn't happen. They accounted MY books as other peoples books so they gave what ever I received to them. They tried to fix the screw up by giving me 65.00 in store trade credit. I didn't want credit in the first place. With all the novels I brought in they didn't even give me the credit for them because THEY LOST IT ALL. I got 5.00 and something in change for one Sisterhood in the traveling pants and Cinderella story with hilary duff and Chad Micheal Murry. I am so pissed so some one better reply back to me through my email and on facebook VERY soon!

~Birchbox~

I am in love with Birchbox.

It is like a magazine subscription where you pay $10.00 a month to receive a box like this on the left (your left) with 4-5 Deluxe Beauty and Make-up products in the mail once a month around the 10th of the month (I usually get mine around the 10-13th day of the month). The samples can be anywhere from Make-Up, Beauty items like Peels, Hand wipes, creams, perfumes, full sized bronzers or eye shadows. It depends on the month and what the Birchbox staff are going to do.

Each box is a different theme and when you open the box you will see a intro card telling you what the month is about and a brief description of the box. The other side of the card tells you what is in your box.

The boxes are always a surprise. Which is really nice because I feel like I am getting a present every month and I love it!

I Found One Of The Best Sites Because Of Facebook...

I found The Happy Lil' Homemaker!

It is the best site I have ever read about and I have found the most helpful when I am trying to coupon and learning about saving money. I am a college student as you know and I don't have a job at all at the moment and I need to fill in my time during the day. I find that coupons and finding deals is amazing. I am excited to learn more.

This site also has a bunch of tips, recipes on food and making things that are useful, crafts, fitness, health, beauty, fun things for kids, gift ideas, tips on homeschooling, organization, tips for parents, and much more. I am super excited to be reading this site.

 I find a new thing on The Happy Lil' Homemaker site everyday!

Tip #1 For College Students and Just Anyone

I have found out that when you are studying for a test or a important exam that you don't want to fail, to try breathing in and out. Releasing your thoughts of anything that is troubling you and thinking positive about your assignment, test, or exam. I use this whenever I am trying to study for a test and I am stressed about anything that could damage a good grade for me while doing my assignments. I usually get a great grade of higher than I thought it would be after clearing my mind and thinking positive.

My Fanfiction Profile and My Stories Links

I have been a member of Fanfiction.net since December 22nd, 2008. I fell in love with the concept that fans can write stories and post them on one site without being professional. I get to correct my stories the way I want, make up characters, ideas, concepts, plots and much more freely and without restraint. I am pretty proud of myself.

I try to update my profile every few months if possible. I also try to update my stories if I can. I love doing my stories. I only have 3 so far. Trenton's Newest Resident? (Not sure if I want to continue), It's good to be home (Completed), and my newest is A Whole New Beginning (Still working on it).

All 3 of my stories are based on Janet Evanovich's book series of Stephanie Plum Novels. Really amazing books. There are 16 books so far and #17 comes our June 21st. Excited too. Great series, amazing adventures also.

Freebies For The Month of May

I am going to be honest and say that I don't remember all that I have received from the month of May. I have received many, many samples, freebies, coupons, free informational packets, and won a few giveaways in the last few months since I started using my freebie sites and coupon queens on Facebook.

I have gained so much information on everything about getting freebies and how to get great non-store brand items really cheap with coupons. I have saved my family over $100.00 these past months then ever before. I have dedicated my boredom to coupon searches and organizing than ever before too.

I have found a good way to put old coupons to good use by donating them to a program (Non-Profited) called "Coups for Troups." My coupons will go to military families overseas that could use them as long as they are not over 6 months old.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyways,

I have received Razors from Gillette, deordorant samples, earring from a Freebie page giveaway, a package of 10 homemade samples from Body & Soul Products (which I will be reviewing soon here and on FB), Coupons for free products such as food items like Sweet potato fries and Lays chips, I have received other things through the mail for free like magazines and shampoos and more coupons.

I have found coupons on the internet for items that I have bought for free like deordorant (trial size), toothpastes (both trial and full sized), first aid kits, body washes, hair products, personal products (female product), I found some pain relief gel coupons and midol ($2 off), and many more.

I have taken to buying the sunday paper ever first Sunday of the month. I am making it a goal to use as many coupons as possible to go past the $4 I spent on 2 papers. I think I will make it. I have til the 30th to see if I suceeded. Hoping I will.

This is it for now folks. I am going to cut some coupons. (I have not had the chance to this week yet.

I am going for a big shopping trip 6/8/11 which is tomorrow. I am hoping to spend less than $20 on all I need or what not. I need to plan tonight.
