1. Saving Money!
I love expensive things but I am pretty good at getting deals. When Chad & I first started dating he didn't believe me but I always end up getting stuff at a discount or for free. Granted this most of the time had to do with eating out but hey, if its free it's FREE!
I'm also ADDICTED to coupons. I might become one of those crazy coupon lady's one day and you know what that's fine with me because they save a ton of money in exchange for some effort.
The best part about saving money is sharing the acquired knowledge with others.
Here is a quick list of things I get for free or really good deals on all the time:
Mypoints is Fabulous & it's Easy! I suggest to create an extra email account just for mypoints because the way this site works is you get points for opening emails that they send you. These advertisers send you emails based on what you say you like in your profile on mypoints - I suggest like EVERYTHING that way you get more emails and can get tons of points. That's it. you don't ever have to spend a penny, or take any surveys (however if you do through their site you will get MORE points!) Chad, my fiance started doing this after I made him when we started dating. It took him a year but he didn't do anything but click on these emails once a week and collect the points & then he got a $50.00 gas card from Shell mailed to him as a reward!
The best part is you get to CHOOSE your gift cards to get in the mail & I can assure you that they come within 4-6 weeks ready to use!
Here is a list of places I have gotten gift cards from since 2005 - Linens & Things, Target, Walmart, Shell, Regal Theaters, & Amazon.
It's a really good site that keeps getting better & if you have a little time each week to check your email you can have free cash in your pockets when you need it the most!
I love ice cream, especially the soft creamy deliciousness that is Cold Stone. Do I ever pay for their ice cream? Never. & I mean it. Never.
Cold Stone has this wonderful thing called the Birthday Club. You sign up register your birthday and then 5 of your "friends" birthdays. Now, if you're noble.. you will register your 5 favorite people and give them a coupon for a FREE Like it size with 1 mix-in. You also will get a free Ice Cream on your Birthday! this is a 5.00 value because their ice cream is costly, and rightfully so because it is THE BEST!
Now, if you're like me and Chad you have an addiction and stagger these 'friends' birthdays to every other month that way you can get you a FREE ice cream more than just on your Birthday! ;)
Just about any of your favorite restaurants will have a Birthday club..or stores will give you outstanding coupons if you register; here's my list that I personally know about but you should try out your favorite places website to see what all they offer:
- McAlisters Deli - $5.00 absolutly no strings emailed to you on your Birthday :)
- Baskin Robins- Free Ice cream scoop in a cone on your Birthday
-Dairy Queen- Buy one Blizzard, get one Free *they send this out all the time to your email*
-Red Lobster- $5.00 off any 2 Meals on your Birthday *deals always change with them*
-Outback Steakhouse- Sign up for their rewards club on their website. Code printed at the bottom of every receipt when you eat there. Type in the code, get free rewards!
-Bed Bath & Beyond- Sign up your email and get 20% off coupons all the time!

2. Paul Mitchell Products
One of my Best Friends is an AMAZING hair stylist. She owns her own salon STATIC in Madison, MS & if you're in that town you would do yourself a favor and go see Kerri. Not only is the salon Amazing but it is in my opinion a focus salon of the best products I have ever used!
My hair has NEVER been smoother, straighter, or curlier!

3. My Wedding Dress
I can't tell any details about it, but I am obsessed and so excited about it!
4. Olive
This is my little world. My furrbaby. I mean honestly who wouldn't love this little fluff ball!
5. The Craigslist Killer
Everyone and their mom I think watchced this on Lifetime tonight. It is terrifying and insainly interesting that people can have secret lives. I'm always afraid Chad will turn out to be a killer because hes just a little too perfect ya know. I feel so sorry for that girl but really how could you blame yourself for not seeing evil in someone. I don't think it's normal for people to see that kind of evil in someone, there aren't signs you look for. Crazy is Crazy.. and crazy will convince you of anything. So, if Chad ends up being a crazy remind me I said that I can't blame myself for not seeing it before I married him. :)
Thanks for the money saving tips...I will definitely use those.
