So for today's post, I thought I'd share some of my favorite websites! I love online shopping, especially when I can find great deals! I'm also a total font junkie, and I love anything crafty! Here are some of my favorite online haunts!
ebates.com
Whenever I'm looking to shop online, I start at ebates! They give cash back on your online purchases when you start there and click their link to the site you want to shop at! So far, I've just used it when I'm placing my mark. orders (4% cash back there!), and I have $121 in cash back coming already! They pay quarterly, either by sending a check or depositing via paypal. The percentage of cash back you get varies by each site, but some of the sites I'm definitely going to take advantage of the cash back on are zulily (3.5% - see below!), The Children's Place (3%), Target (3%), Birthday Express (7.5% - see below!), Vistaprint (5% - see below!), and Barnes & Noble (6%)! Plus, ebates has a Daily Double program, where each day there's a different site that earns you double the cash back if you shop that day! They also have a referral program; when you give your friends your personalized link & they make a $25 purchase at any participating site, you earn an extra $5! The more friends you invite, the bigger the benefits get. I've found ebates super easy to use, and free to join - the hardest part is just remembering to start there & check if the site you're wanting to shop at participates!
zulily.com
Another recent favorite of mine is zulily, the site where you find different deals for moms, kids, and babies every day! Zulily works with fabulous brands to offer limited-time, limited-quantity sales, and offers up to 90% off! Each sale lasts 72 hours or while supplies last, and you can find anything from baby shower gifts to home decor to clothing & accessories for mom, kids, or baby! My favorites so far have been Spanx, Laura Ashley home decor, Ed Hardy, and several brands selling scarves or headbands! Zulily is another easy to use, free to join site, where I think the best part is going every morning and seeing what the new sales are! They also have a wonderful referral program, where if you give your friend your personalized link, you'll receive a $15 store credit after their first purchase ships! Remember to click through from eBates to get your 3.5% cash back on your zulily purchases!
kevinandamanda.com
Amanda's was the first blog I ever started following! She's such a creative woman, and I love all her blog posts with recipes, photography info, travel stories, and her favorite things. She had a few blog posts about NYC that totally kept me motivated when I was earning the mark. dream trip! I'll definitely be hitting up a few of the bakeries she mentioned - the photos of cupcakes they sampled are simply mouthwatering!Amanda also offers fantastic free fonts; both creative & funky scrapbooking fonts, and "fonts for peas" which she creates from handwriting samples her readers send in! A couple more of my favorite sites for free fonts are sugar frog fonts and miss tiina!
Two Classy Chics Blog
Since starting my own blog, I've been much more interested in following other blogs, and another wonderful one I've found is from Shelly & Chris over at Two Classy Chics. They are product review bloggers, and host giveaways of really awesome products. I sent a few mark. products to Shelly for review, and she & her daughter loved them! Shelly wrote a glowing review, which you can read here. Make sure you also enter the giveaway - one lucky reader will win a mark. prize package valued at $44! I love reading about the products these two ladies review, and the chance to win the products makes it even more fun! Right now I'm entered to win an adorable apron from Flirty Aprons, and they also have lots of other current giveaways including cookbooks, workout dvds, wind chimes, and kids PJs!
vistaprint.com
I love vistaprint for business supplies! I've been subscribed to their email newsletter for awhile, and just recently made my first purchase during one of the great sale offers they had! I got return address labels, postcards, wallet calendars, reward cards, and a banner all for around $20! I love the designs you can pick from, and I'll be watching for an offer of free product label stickers so I can get some little stickers for my mark. products or magalogs! They have such a great variety of designs and products, it's pretty cool that I can get supplies for my beauty business from the same place my hubby gets supplies for his construction company! Make sure to start at eBates when you shop here to get your 5% cash back!
Birthday Express
I've always loved party planning, and Birthday Express is the best site I've found with themed party supplies! They have tons of themes to choose from for boys or girls, fast shipping, and if you join their mailing list, the back of each catalog has coupon codes for discounts on your orders! So far I've done cupcake, MN Vikings, Thomas the Tank Engine, and John Deere themes, and I'm really excited to start planning Brody's 4th birthday (omg - 4?!?) and Brett's 2nd birthday parties. Even better is that I'll get 7.5% cash back on the orders now, through eBates!
realitysteve.com
If you're a fan of The Bachelor, like me, this will become one of your favorite go-to sites as well! Reality Steve is a blogger with inside info on all things Bachelor-related, and I personally love watching the shows more when I know how it's going to end! I found that I got too emotionally involved watching certain guys/girls go home, so this way I know what's going to happen and it's much more fun to watch! But if you don't want the ending spoiled, don't go to his site, haha!
