I'm a winner!!!

I have been very excited, I won two things on facebook within a week of each other! In all honesty, I have been putting off blogging about it because I was hoping I would win something else…. cause three would be so much cooler than 2. The first thing I won was a hair treatment at my favorite salon. Every month on their facebook page they have giveaways for services and products. The giveaway was actually something different than I ended up getting. It was for a Brazilian blowout, which I thought was a morrocan oil treatment. I would assume it’s a common mistake to mix the two up..? They sound similar, right? As the end of the giveaway was nearing, there was only 3 other people that had entered so I thought I had a pretty good chance. I got a facebook message saying that I had won and I was stoked. Then I realized I didn’t want it, because it was for $50 off the Brazilian blowout. (Its normally several hundred dollars.) It wasn’t something I would use, so with some convincing, my wonderful stylist got me a free morrocan oil treatment instead. And it was so wonderful! On a side note, I would highly recommend morrocan oil if your hair needs some TLC. I definitely noticed a huge difference in my hair.

The second thing I won on facebook was a workout DVD. Its called Physique 57 Volume 1 Arm and Ab Booster. I check their facebook page everyday for workout motivation and one day saw that they were having a trivia giveaway. I looked up the answer and later got a message saying I had won. Yippee for giveaways! I have been entering quite a few giveaways lately and am hoping maybe Ill win some more soon. But once you start entering so many it gets really really easy to lose track of what ones have been entered. 

I have recently started coupon clipping as well and am loving it. There are a few blogs that I check every day that tell me what sites have what coupons and where I can find good deals. Have you seen the previews for the show starting on TLC called “Extreme Couponing?” It looks insane. There was a lady that went to the grocery store and got $650 worth of food for only $6. Insane right? I highly doubt I will ever get to that point. In fact I KNOW I won’t. There is not enough time in the day. I was pretty excited about a deal I got a couple days ago though. Walgreens was selling my favorite bronzer for buy one get one free and I used 2 manufactures coupons for $5 off each product. It would have been $28 before coupons, and I paid $3 after coupons. Woot Woot! Gabe was super proud of his wife’s newfound coupon clipping hobby. Coupons are a blessing to this budget living girl!
