FREE Old Navy Shorts Party!

Free Old Navy Shorts Party!

One of my favorite sites helped me host a FREE Old Navy Summer Shorts Party… Crowdtap sent me coupons that allowed me AND 3 friends to head over to our local Old Navy store for a super fun product party!

Summer Lovin’

Each of us got to choose a FREE pair of Old Navy shorts, FREE summer top, and FREE accessory to compliment the look. Awesomesauce, right? We had a blast choosing outfits for each other, and each left with an amazing new summer look. Plus, with the great deals at Old Navy, we could each afford some “extra” purchases too.

Camera problems = No Fun Pics! Big bummer.

I took bunches of fun pics to share of our product party, but unfortunately, the computer program that lets me download pics is not working. Camera and computer are NOT playing nicely, and I’m working on a fix. So… I don’t have any fun pics to show you of the great outfits we bought!

This is the best I can do to share our good times… My outfit started with these super-versatile shorts, and I added this sheer tie-side tank top in white, with a fun yellow striped tank top underneath. I added some great sandals to complete the look! There are SO many affordable pieces at Old Navy that I was also able to get a couple of additional outfits for me, AND a cute 4th of July outfit for the baby, and accessories for us both! Love it.

Proactiv Freebies: $72 worth of product only $19.95

Proactiv has worked uh-MAY-zing for me…

I won’t lie. I never had a big skin problem. I’ve never suffered from major acne. But I had a few friends years and years ago that DID have a lot of acne troubles, and they started using Proactiv when it was new. After seeing the wonders it worked on them, I figured it could probably work great for me too.

Lovin’ it

I’ve now been using it for years :) I’m not sure if I’d have such great skin if I didn’t use it… But I’ve never stopped using it to find out! I saw a sweet deal going on right now, and thought you guys might want to know about it too.

Super duper freebies!

Proactiv is great at adding on extra freebies and bonus buys with every purchase… Sometimes they’re advertised gift-with-purchase type deals, sometimes they’re just a cool free sample or two thrown in as a surprise. But right now, they’re doing an AWESOME deal…

When you order the Proactiv 3-Step System, which comes with the renewing cleanser, toner, and repairing moisterizer, you’ll also get a FREE Deep Cleansing Wash AND Travel-Size Green Tea Moisturizer AND FREE Shipping for ONLY $19.95 ($72 Value)! Shipping usually costs $7.95, and doesn’t normally include the freebies!! Rockin’, right??

To check it out for yourself, visit the Proactiv website for details. But make sure to grab this deal pretty soon… Ididn’t see when it ends, but their deals usually change pretty quick.

Great time to shop!

This is a great time to stock up if you’re a usual Proactiv user, and an awesome time to try it if you’ve been thinking about it. And if you have a daughter or other teenage girl in your life who suffers from acne, this would be a wonderful gift for her right now, to help clear things up before school starts again in the fall. Trust me, she’ll appreciate it.

If YOU are a Proactiv user too, I’d love to hear your story!!

Airline Ticket Price Dropped? How to Get a Refund!

Yapta gets you refunds from the airlines

The irony of airline travel is that the prices are highway robbery. Maybe it should be called airway robbery? No matter what tips and tricks you may have heard about finding the cheapest airfare – you can’t always get the lowest possible price. So – we found a way to avoid buyers remorse even after you’ve purchased your tickets. How cool is that, right? I love bringing you new Busy Mom Solutions!

Yapta is your Personal Airline Spy!

It’s called Yapta and it’s a site that not only will help you find flights and track prices, but once you decide you’re ready to go ahead and press the buy button Yapta will keep tracking the price for you to see if it drops. If it does then Yapta will alert you and help you get a refund for the cost difference per ticket. Important!! You must go to Yapta which will redirect you to the airline’s website when you’re ready to buy your tickets so you can qualify for the refund. And fear not, we were able to find the lowest airfare prices like all those other travel websites.

Find out in this week’s Twirl the ins and outs of beating their airlines at their own game.

Super Simple Tool for Savings

I have to admit, this isn’t a problem that I’ve ever had. I’ve never really traveled much – a trip with my class back in high school, I flew to Nevada once with my mom, and went on my very first “real” flight, on my own, cross-country to visit a friend in Florida, just a few years ago. I haven’t flown since. I kept thinking we’d go on a trip again “later.” You know, when the baby is bigger, when income is more steady, when I look good enough in a swimsuit to take a vacation on a tropical beach….

Back to Reality

Where was I? Oh yes, Yapta! The next time I DO need to buy airline tickets, I can tell you 100%, without a doubt, I’ll be booking MY flight through Yapta.com. And, since I’ll be traveling to a few conferences this year, I am SO super glad that I found this sweet savings tool. I’m one of those people who just cannot pay full price for anything. I’m a deal junkie, which is pretty obvious if you follow my blog :) And airline tickets are one of those big purchases that are so hard to make, because you always worry if you’re really getting the best deal. Knowing that Yapta’s got my back, and give me a heads up if my ticket price drops so that I can get a refund, makes the thought of buying airline tickets MUCH less stressful! Check them out on Facebook to read some real life savings stories!

How about you?

Do you travel much? Have you ever used Yapta? Have you ever bought tickets only to find that they dropped a ton after you purchased?? Share you stories with me! I love hearing from you guys…

DUPLO LEGO Ville Baby Zoo – Perfectly adorable first Lego set, seriously. I also loved the little Duplo Lego Chicken Coop set!
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, Queen Anne’s Revenge – Pretty darn amazing if you’ve got some movie fans! This would be the most amazing gift for a Pirate birthday party…
LEGO Exclusive Pet Shop– I seriously LOVE this. So pricey, but one of the coolest sets. Lego’s were my favorite toy when I was younger… I even wanted to be an architect for awhile, and somehow thought that it was similar to building with Lego’s, lol.

This is another of those sites that I use to watch for great high-end home stuff, at SUPER low and affordable prices. You’d never guess it, but just about everything I own was free, DIY, or deeply discounted. But my house {if I may say so myself} still looks really great.

The secret is to use tehse types of sites to watch for really amazingly cheap deals on things you need anyway. An amazing designer throw pillow that retails for $65 bucks, and I can get it for less than $10? You know I love it….
