EnvyDerm!

During one of my late night escapades, I stumbled upon a great website while surfing the web. EnvyDerm. I was able to snag a full sized volumnizing and plumping lip gloss in exchange for a review!


Upon browsing products and shades, I noticed one thing about the lip gloss that I ordered: "Formulated without: Parabens, Synthetic fragrances, Sulfates, Phthalates, GMO's, Tricolsan, Mineral oils, Animal products." I found this to be really cool. I decided on a peachy nude shade and waited for the product to come in.


When I recieved my package, I was impressed with the mint condition the product was in after enduring handling half way across the country. I decided to take a side by side photo of my lips (top photo with gloss). It was very minty and fun to wear. The plumping gloss is thicker than the typical lip gloss but still light like a chapstick. I also noticed my lips felt hydrated longer than it would if I wore a typical lip gloss.

I received free products in exchange for this review. This did not effect my review, all opinions are completely my own.This post may contain affiliate links.

Finding Your Niche

Have you ever considered working from home? Sometimes we all just need something to do or have a holiday or celebration we would like to make extra money for.

Call me an extremist, but I love saving money every where I go!

Here is how one of my typical weekend day goes:

I browse TextBroker for opportunities of some easy articles to write. I make money from the articles I write. Some of my more dedicated friends make an upward of $60K a year doing what they love!

If I have time, I squeeze in some time with TranscribeMe making extra cash transcribing. Just listen and type what is said and you get money!

Then, I pack my son up and get ready to drop the car off for an oil change in which using BestMark, I get reimbursed for the oil change + get an extra $30 for mystery shopping and then head on to the park in which the walking/running around gets me $5 points for Sears or KMart each week via FitStudio.

So now I'm getting a little bit hot and I decide to go to shopping in the mall. I pass by a few places in which I find another program that pays $10 for a photo of the displays for an undisclosed store. We are now getting close to meal time in which I have endless choices at the mall! I've made about $45 plus whatever writing and transcribing has made me and I am free to pick whatever I like.

If you are like me, you probably take a million pictures of the kiddo and anything else during the day which also adds value to selling pictures for $5 via Foap. One user has made a whopping $2,000 from one photo. It all adds up!

Summer Time Fun

With the weather warming up and children at bay, its nice to go out and have some family time. Now you can at little to no cost! Sign up at Kids Bowl Free for all children to bowl 2 free games a day all summer long. There is an additional offer for 4 adults/ family members to bowl those 2 free games as well for $26.95.

For the first 37 purchases or until Wednesday April 8th with the adult package, you can enter promo code, Easter3 for $3 dollars off making this deal $23.95 for all children plus 4 adults all summer long! 

I attended a bowling outing with coworkers that costed $25 for one hour among five people. The $23.95 pays for itself within the two free games. 

Do you like surveys?

There are many sites that just pay you for a brief phone call, online discussion, or just to have a video recorded response! While you might find yourself looking through dozens of sites, I have picked the ones that I feel have been the most rewarding. When I say this is rewarding, I mean it. These sites have helped me accrue over $1,500 in 6 months.

Focus Fwd - I actually have a $50 check sitting on my dining room table from an online discussion post about dogs that took me maybe 15 minutes to do. There are reports of upwards to $250 while the typical survey opportunities range from $20-$125.

Rare Patient Voice - When I signed up, I got a gift card. After a few months, I qualified for a $125 phone survey on personal health problems with a $50 incentive if I could refer others as the conditions they are researching are often rare.

20|20 - This site offers a mixture of surveys varying from child care, health care, food, beverages etc. I received $50 to talk about free health care services and my awareness of those services. Surveys range from $50-$250

There are many, many other survey sites that will offer a mixture of surveys that can range from .50 for 10 minutes but also produce surveys for 0.00 with up to a $1,000 incentive. My favorite site is USATALKNOW.  I've gotten one $35 beverage diary, one $35 snack diary, $60 life assessment test, two $100 discussion board surveys, and many others ranging $5 - $10 in the past 6 months.

While these sites pay for your time on discussion boards, on the phone, or in person some like to have a video recording. They want to see what your eyes are drawn to when they see you reviewing their test subjects. I've done at least 7 or 8 of these video surveys and they are 100% confidential and fun to do something different. YouEye pays $12 per survey unless rated otherwise. My first two surveys with YouEye paid $50 for one and $25 for the other and since have been $12 each. They pay right away and send straight to your PayPal account.

A great opportunity to make extra money is via Focus Groups. I attended a local 60 minute focus group about banks/brand awareness and got $125 visa and free dinner!  Just Google your city + state along with the keywords "focus groups" or "research studies" and see what you can find! You won't regret it.

Hey guys!

I'm going to post a link for a helpful guide. I love this guide. What is it?

Usually up to 2 weeks before my birthday, I have free lunch/dinner provided curtsy of coupons for free food! Places like IHop will give you a free short stack of pancakes while others like Honey Baked Ham provides a free classic ham sandwich. It truly tastes so much better when it is free.

TIP: Most restaurants with birthday surprises also have sign-up bonuses too!

Where it all begins...

I've seen countless times...

The many who have fallen on hard times and job security just isn't what it used to be. They lost their only form of income and don't even know where to start to piece things back together. The way of life has changed and it is hard to adapt to another lifestyle. 

I've watched the multi-million dollar homes that most would awe and fan over become vacant sub-divisions full of the big black signs with red lettering stating it was now for sale. The beautiful yards that carried perfectly placed trees, blooming flowers, delicately trimmed bushes with grass that seemed to be a shade of green you could never achieve with your own lawn were now lacking of life and maintenance. 

So when my mother was involved in a car wreck that created lasting health conditions, I knew life was going to change. Our income was greatly reduced and providing money just for bills were a task that required a lot of brainstorming on how to get money. At first, things were sold. Then we had to get creative when the house started to look bare. 

Over the years, I have encountered numerous ways to make money simply from home. Shortly, I will be showing how to make income from home! These are things I practice every day religiously .
