Earn Money Sharing Your Favorite Deals!

“What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.”
Ralph Marston

Love deals? Love your friends? Love earning FREE rewards?

Of course you said yes to all of those questions. How do I know this? Well, if you read Sunshine and Sippy Cups, then I KNOW you’re a deal and freebie junkie like me :) And I also know that all of my readers are the super-sweet-nicest-people-ever type. So I know you guys will be excited to find some ways to share awesome deals with your friends and family while earning some pretty cool free stuff at the same time!

Holiday Shopping is coming…

One of the ways that I’m planning to be able to afford holiday shopping this year is to start watching all of my favorite deal sites, starting now, for great gifts at really deep discounts. AND, when I find really good stuff, I plan to share those finds with you guys, and with my friends and family. {Part of the fun of finding a sweet deal is sharing it, right?} So it’s pretty cool that I can earn loads of free credits for sharing! I’ll let those add up so that I can get some Christmas gifts this year for free.

I love make-up :)

It’s funny, since I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, I haven’t worn it very often… But I have so much pretty stuff! So, as part of the No More Frump Mom Challenge, I’ve started actually putting a bit of make-up on every day again… And seriously, what a difference it makes in my day!

Honestly, it might sound super-vain, but it’s so much nicer to catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, with rosy cheeks and full lashes, the the tired face I’ve been looking at the past few months.

I may not actually BE well rested, probably not until my child is 18. But a bit of pretty make-up can make me APPEAR to be, well, if not well-rested, at least not exhausted-looking! :)

Who else is excited about this triple-bonus-cash-back deal?? {It’s only until August 14th!}

Love it: Blue Sky Scrubs!

Check out a new FAVORITE: Blue Sky Scrubs!

So, I’m not a nurse, so why am I exciting about a company that makes scrubs? Well, there are a few reasons:

1. I have many friends who are nurses, who will LOVE this stuff. It’s so hard to find anything stylish and modern to wear in the nursing field, and this stuff rocks.
2. They have the most adorable little baby scrub sets I’ve ever seen… This would be SUCH a cute baby shower gift! Baby Layette Scrub Sets.
3. I would totally rock these as super comfy lounge clothes! I do a lot of painting, so I’d love to get one of these: Poppy Hats that they show on their Facebook page. Love ’em. I’d also wear these: Urban Scrub Pants, with the new low rise. Comfy looking, right?

Head over and check out the rest of the Nursing Scrub Uniforms for women choices {I can’t believe how trendy they make scrubs look in this photo!} or search by category on their main page, http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/

What do you think?

Would you wear these outside of a medical office? Am I weird that I LOVE these as lounge clothes?? Do you want to rush over like I did, and sign up for their Email Newsletter Updates, to get sales and discount info? Share you opinions in the comments…
