Been thinking of signing up for Swagbucks?

If you haven't signed up for Swagbucks there is a new promo to earn 70 Swag (by clicking on the above banner or anywhere the word Swagbucks is highlighted)  then enter the code BackToSchool (it is case sensitive)
What are Swagbucks?  They are like frequent flyer miles for searching on the internet.  It really is a no strings attached kind of thing!  When you earn 450 Swagbucks you can trade them for a $5 gift card to Amazon.com!!!  If Amazon isn't your thing, trade them in for sweepstakes, Target giftcards, Itunes card, and many more.  The one and only catch is that you have to remember to search-but you'll get into a routine in no time.

Once you sign up, you can then refer others and earn their first 1000 right along with them! 

It's powered by Google-so just like googling only you get rewarded!

Get Organized!

A huge key to saving money is getting organized.  It's proven that when you are disorganized you'll spend more money because you've lost or misplaced items and you then have to buy more to replace them.  Seriously, go clean out a cupboard that you haven't seen the back of for awhile and your multiples of items will prove my point!

I refer to myself as having selective OCD (of course as a joke)!  My clothes are hung in my closet sorted like you wouldn't believe.  Shirts are sorted first by type (dressy vs casual) then sleeve length and then lightest color to darkest.  Well, that is the shirts that make it from the laundry room into my closet-that's where the selective OCD comes in!!

As it's said Rome wasn't built in a day so I'm issuing a challenge to clean out one thing each day.  Today, I'm tackling my buffet in my dining room.  It's become loaded with stuff that just doesn't belong there and I need to get rid of tableclothes that I never use.  I'm going to be brave and post before and afters-so no judgement!  Baby steps to an organized home!

What can you clean out today?

If you need organizing ideas The Container Store hosts free organizing seminars.
For the Portland area...Join us for our FREE Happy Organized Home Demonstrations Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm (July 3-August 1). We'll give away one $25 Store More Card at each demonstration!

Want to get pampered for less?

So a friend's comment on Facebook that she needs to be pampered reminded me of this....

Ever tried the Aveda Institute?  What is it you say...well, It's the beauty school for Aveda salons and spas.  I've been there about 6 times and have enjoyed every single visit!  In fact one of my visits was for my daughter's birthday party.  I let her take 5 friends to get manicures and then we went home for a slumber party!  Her very luxurious birthday party was $60 plus some snacks and cake!  Every single time that student providing the service has been professional and extremely service oriented.  Each service is inspected by a licensed instructor.

At the Portland salon you can get;
A facial (different varieties available) from $25
Makeup application from $15 - they also have lash application and brow/lash tinting from $8
Eyebrow wax from $8 - they wax all areas!
Haircuts from $10 - they have all Chemical Hair services available included color, highlight, and moisture treatments.
Mani-$12
Pedi- $18
See the complete list here
So...you can get a Pedi, Mani, AND Facial for what a Facial normally costs!!!

The one in Portland is located 325 NW 13th (in the Pearl District).  Every time I've been there I have gotten a parking place right on front-so parking is not an issue.  They are open Tues-Thurs from 1 to 6 pm and Friday and Saturday 9 am to 6 pm.

The one thing I was not prepared for is that while tips are not expected, they are appreciated.  But you have to give them directly to the student (in cash) and cannot tip using your credit card when you are paying for the service.
For other locations go here, there are 50 so there's a good chance there is one near you.

I have not been compensated what-so-ever by the Aveda Institute for these comments.  This is solely my opinion.

Opinion Outpost

Whoo-hoo, I'm getting a good sized check in the mail....

Have I told you about Opinion Outpost?  You take a survey and then get rewarded.  Either in cash or gift cards.  I chose cash-so much easier! 

So, say you take a survey for 20 points.  That is actually $2.  Their surveys are quick and painless and I've done quite a few 50 point (yes $5) !

I totally recommend them.  Just go here or where Opinion Outpost is highlighted.
