Guide to Swagbucks.com -{Saving money}

Hello there. If you haven't noticed, I love coupons and saving money!!

Here is one of my favorite sites to use to earn money:

Swagbucks.com

This site is incredibly EASY and fun to use! 

You earn points for watching videos, answering polls, and other easy stuff. Once you start earning points, its hard to stop!!

Ways to earn:

Codes - Swagbucks codes are only valid for a few hours. If you download the Swagbucks app onto your phone, it will alert you when a code is posted on the blog, Facebook, or twitter. Be careful because they expire quickly. SB codes are usually around 3-4 SBs each.

Shop&Earn - You can shop online at stores like Amazon, Walmart, Staples, Hotels.com, Best Buy, Old Navy, Macy's, ThredUp, Nordstrom, QVC, Panasonic, Apple, Living Social, Walgreens, Toys R Us, Home Depot, and Children's Place!

You get (on average) about 2-3 swag bucks per dollar you spend.

EX: Spend $30 on Amazon, earn 90 SBs (which roughly translates to 90 cents)

500 SBs will get you a $5 Amazon gift card. So its fairly easy to rack up points this way.

I have not used this technique yet but I definitely will when I need something from Amazon!

Watch - Swagbucks has an app but all the app really does is allow you to put in codes and answer daily polls. Download the Swagbucks video app and you can get a few points for just watching videos. Its something like watching 5 videos lets you earn a few swagbucks.  The videos are actually interesting. There are different categories such as music videos, current news, cooking shows, fashion videos, home&garden, anything you can think of really.

I use this technique a lot because you can just open the app and click a random video and let it play for awhile while you do something else. (shh, don't tell SB!)

Couponing - Another helpful section! These coupons are all FREE and are valid at most grocery stores, a lot are registered with Walmart too. You get 10 SB's per coupon you use, which is amazing! I have not used this option yet but I will soon!!

Answer - Whether it be surveys or polls, they all earn you money. Paid surveys are pretty rare to have since you must apply for the surveys. They are usually long and boring but the ones I've done have gotten me 60 SBs.

There are many more ways to earn on SBs. Its a few fun and interesting site. You can also get SBs from reading book intros, EntertainmentCrave.com (which is like a news site kinda, its interesting) and lots of random stuff. I currently have 424 SBs so I'm pretty close to getting my first $5 gift card!! :D

<-Here are some cards you can earn

When signing up, you should use my referral link: swagbucks.com/refer/LovelyLerchLady to get bonus SBs for yourself and for me!!!
Good luck in your Swagbucks journey!

Spring Cleaning!

Hello, lovelies! So I am currently addicted to scrapbooking! In my small amount of free time, I'm either on Pinterest or scrapbooking!! I had this idea to bribe myself..I had to organize before I started scrapbooking again. And well, it worked!!
Here are some tips and what I've done to spark my spring organization!

So I started with this ^
And turned it into….

Look how much space!!!! Just by turning everything sideways!

Also..

Here is my swimsuit/pajama drawer! I embraced the weird swimsuit forms and made it into something functional!!

PS. I'm not crazy, I just enjoy organization :)


Also, embracing the weird bra shape again….

 This beautiful drawer! :P
Don't even get me started on my dresser and vanity…It will always be cluttered. No matter how hard I try!!

And the result of this: a big donation box!! Yay!! Just back in February, I donated two huge trash bags full of clothes to the Salvation Army! I love donating things and thrift shopping!










Thanks for reading! I hope I inspired someone to clean out their wardrobe too! Its already made a difference in my daily life. Instead of throwing clothes on the floor, I fold them up first then throw them on the floor, haha!

Bye lovelies,

Oh Holy Shoes!

So here I am again, utilizing Modcloth.com for all of my window-shopping needs…

HOLY GORGEOUS! My bridesmaids will
be wearing these in my wedding!!!
Available here.

I don't know what I would wear these with
or where, but they're so cute!
Available here.
They come in grey, cream, green, purple, and navy!
A few customers have even wore them with their
wedding dress!

Again, ADORABLE!!
Available here.

I want these so badly but I really
don't feel like they're worth the
$60…
Get them here.

My younger sister LOVES pandas

ModCloth.com AKA Heaven

So there's this site that I've pinned stuff from for awhile and today I actually made an account and looked through. Their clothes are very vintage/quirky but their shoes are AMAZING!
Here are some things I thought were interesting:

This would be perfect for a slutty flight attendant!! I love it!

           

             

This looks SOOO cozy!!

I know, I should already have a pair of
oxfords. I'm behind on the trends. But
I just love these so much!

 

I wouldn't wear this in public
but I'm kinda tempted to….Its toooo cute!

Seriously, it's all soooo cute. 

Ta-ta for now, lovelies!!
