    A Look Back at 2018

    December 31, 2018 / No Comments

    Happy New Year’s Eve!! I can’t believe we’re already done with 2018. This year has flown by but also somehow felt SUPER long. I wanted to reflect on the year as well as what’s to come in 2019. I decided to make a vlog about some of the major events that happened this year and how they’ve impacted my life, but I also wanted to put together a more typical “favorites”-style post with all the best things from 2018. So here that is!

    Site Updates

    October 11, 2018 / No Comments

    A bit of a different type of post today because I wanted to mention a few housekeeping things. You might notice the site looks a little different right now… this is because I have officially moved off of WordPress servers and I now have my own hosting!! If you don’t know what this means – basically I am one step closer to being a real live blogger! I no longer am limited by WordPress’s specifications when it comes to design, storage, quality, or anything else. It’s all mine! It’s been a bit of a process (and part of the reason…

    I Bought a Fancy Camera

    September 7, 2018 / No Comments

    Today I’m taking a brief pause from my normal posts to share with you something super exciting!! (Also, I’m so glad to be back in the swing of things around here to the point where I can actually say I have “normal posts” again!) I recently made a really big and exciting purchase that I have been working towards for a long time. I bought a new camera! There are many reasons behind this purchase and I’ve been wanting it for so long, I cannot WAIT to start using it. Obviously I’ve been wanting to take better quality photos for…

    2017 Year in Review & Favorites

    January 5, 2018 / No Comments

    Before I jump into this post – check out my new blog theme!! I decided the start of the new year was as good of an excuse as any to spruce things up around here. The sizing and details on some stuff is still a little wonky while I work everything out but go ahead and have a look around – I hope you like it! I figured with the new year it was time for me to write a “end of 2017” post or something, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do it. I want to include…

    All About Ebates

    August 12, 2017 / 1 Comment

    Today I have a continuation of my “series” about websites you can use to get free stuff or cash for reviews. Previously I wrote about Influenster, BzzAgent, and Pinecone Research. This one is different – it’s the first non-review site I’ve written about, and instead it focuses on cash back for your purchases. Today we’re talking about Ebates! (Edit from the future: you can click here to see all my similar posts about saving money and getting free stuff!) Ebates is a site I actually learned about from my mom, and she’s been using it for ages so I know…

    All About Pinecone Research

    July 15, 2017 / No Comments

    Today I bring you yet another resource in the “get free stuff” quest, but this one is a little different from my last posts about Influenster and BzzAgent – this one rewards you with MONEY! Today we’re talking about Pinecone Research. (Edit from the future: you can click here to see all my similar posts about saving money and getting free stuff!) Overview This one’s very different than other sites I’ve written about, but I love it in a different way! Pinecone Research is solely for up and coming products. Rather than showing you items that are already on the market, you might…

    All About BzzAgent

    June 6, 2017 / No Comments

    Welcome friends to another blog post about how to get free stuff! Last time I talked about Influenster, and today I’ll be writing about a similar site with less pressure to do stuff – BzzAgent! (Edit from the future: you can click here to see all my similar posts about saving money and getting free stuff!) Overview BzzAgent is an awesome site for word-of-mouth marketing…maybe even my favorite! I like to think of it as a more relaxed version of Influenster. They’re much more low key and don’t require nearly as much work for the products they send you – just a…

    A Tiny Update Post

    May 29, 2017 / No Comments

    Hello! I realized today that I never mentioned that I was going on vacation on my blog so it looks like I wrote that Bachelorette post and then never came back haha. But I was just on vacation for the last week, if you follow me on instagram you probably have seen all the fun times we had from the photos I’ve posted! I had a great trip with my two very best friends, and we took lots of notes so I can write about it on here similar to my Seattle/Disneyland series!! Anyway, just wanted to pop in and…

    All About Influenster & VoxBoxes

    April 30, 2017 / No Comments

    If you read my post a few weeks ago reviewing some Lancôme products, you’ll remember that I mentioned getting them for a free from a site called Influenster. I also mentioned that I was working on a post all about that site…and this is that post! Influenster is one of many marketing/research websites that send out products to customers in exchange for reviews and spreading the word. I originally had written a post about Influenster as well as a few other similar sites, but it just got to be too long so I decided to split it up. We’ll start off with Influenster on…
