Android/iPhone Mobile Apps That Pay Money :)

After exploring internet sites that pay cash, I have now been able to successfully compile a quick list of mobile/ipod apps that will help you make some extra cash! I will be adding to this list as I discover more apps.

Checkpoints: Install checkpoints on your mobile phone/ipod. It's a super awesome, free, and easy app to use. All you do is click on nearby locations to "check-in," for 2 points each.The best part is that you don't have to actually be at that location to check-in. Another hint that I have for you is at certain times during the day, usually 8 AM EST in my experience, there are 10 point check-ins that last for 1-2 hours! At just 350 points you can cash out for a $1 amazon.com gift card! Sweet! Other awesome gift cards include Best Buy, Home Depot, iTunes...this place is amazing!!

HINT Please enter: turtle9 for a bonus code of 300 points! By using my code, you will get 300 points and I will get 150 points :)  At just 350 points you can cash out for a $1 amazon.com gift card! Sweet!

Shopkick: Get points for shopping...seriously?! Yup, modern technology has made this possible. Stores want to lure you into their shop, so start shopping and get points to score gift cards, baby! 

Common shops on Shopkick that offer you points just for walking into their store are: Best Buy, Target, Macy's, Old Navy, American Eagle, and Aerie. Points differ each day depending on sales, holidays, etc. Just walk to the store and hover near the door. After about a few seconds, Shopkick will award you with "kicks," just for stopping by! Please join through my link and we will both get points :) Thanks!!

Diaper Stockpile 2012

Hello readers! I've been addicted to googling mom's diapers stockpiles, so I decided to take a picture of my own. It's actally a pretty small pile compared to some moms, but I'm still proud of it. 

Wipes: 1,796

Size 2 Diapers: 240 (my baby's almost out of these; she weighs 17 pounds now!)

Size 3 Diapers: 651

Pull-Ups: 72

In total, I probably spent maybe $130 on all these items (from CVS, Rite Aid, Market Basket, and Family Dollar). If you count the fact that she uses 10 diapers a day, I totally need to stock up more!! :) What does your stockpile look like?

2012 Ways to Make Money Online

Hey Everyone. So I've been taking surveys and figuring out how to make money online since 2009 right after college graduation (I graduated a semester late and the market had tanked so I was siting at home, jobless and bored). So three years later, I'm here to tell you which sites I still use, and which ones I've long ditched. I will be listing a couple a day.

1. HCD Surveys

This survey site I've been using since 2009. The surveys are short and sweet and you can get between 100 points ($1) to 500 points ($5). If you are disqualified, you will received 10 points ($0.10).

Advantages: Pays by check; takes up to six weeks. Even if you don't qualify for a survey, you still get paid (a lot of survey sites do not offer that).

Disadvantages: Not that many surveys. Must reply as soon as possible, since surveys fill up quickly.

Click on the picture to sign up! :)

2. Swagbucks.com

This is by far one of my favorite sites. It's a search and win site. It's just like google.com, but when you search, there's the possibility of winning virtual bucks, which you can then use to redeem prizes. The prize that gets you the most "bang for your buck" is the $5 amazon.com gift cards. You can redeem up to five of the same gift card per month, so that's $25 in amazon.com gift cards!

Things you can do everyday to win swagbucks:

a. Get the toolbar (just for having it you get 1 swagbuck a day)
b. Look for swagcodes (these are codes you enter in the top right hand corner to win more swagbucks; they can be found on the blog or twitter; if you need hints, email me!)
c. Download the Swagbucks mobile phone app to get 50 swagbucks/ day just by watching TV. Just turn on the app and let the movies play!
d. Go to swagbucks.com > earn > NOSO > skip all the adds and get 2 swagbucks
e. Take the daily poll for 1 swagbuck.

3. Ebates.com

Do you shop online? Then this is the perfect site for you! Get cashback for every purchase you make from Old Navy to American Eagle to Babies R Us. It ranges from 1% to 20% depending on which store you're buying from. They pay though paypal or by check every 4 months or so as long as your balance is >$5. So shop away and let the money add up!

Search and Win Sites

Here is a list of 3 search and win sites that I highly recommend:

Bath and Body Works January Freebie

I'm so excited about the Bath and Body Works January Freebie that I had to post a picture! They gave away any soap, any pocketbac hand gel & any pocketbac hand gel holder! That's $7 worth of freebies. The best part is I had the chance to try out their new hand soap, the citrus crush flavor. The smell is amazing and the bottle is super cute. Also, you get a $10 off $30 coupon. If you signed up for the Bath and Body Works Rewards Club in December, you should have received your card by now. They chose people at random. If you were one of the lucky ones, you will get a free gift every month until May!

Live Brilliantly : Brilliant Lenses Eyeglass Cleaner and Protector Review

When I was first asked to try Brilliant Lenses, I was very excited, because I wear glasses. Of course, as a the typical 20 something, I also own an ipod, laptop, android phone, etc. Well, brilliant lenses is truly awesome! Not only does it make my glasses shine, my ipod touch fingerprint free, but it also adds scratch resistance to lenses, which I think is amazing! I bring it with me everywhere. Plus, it comes with a micro-fiber cloth and carrying bag. Thanks again for letting me try a truly innovative and unique product.

Review of BrytonPick: Floss in Seconds!

Know someone who doesn't like flossing? On the run and no time to floss? Try new BrytonPick floss! BrytonPick sent me a FREE sample of their unique, stylish, and portable floss. BrytonPicks are safe and reusable, and they're designed to clean between teeth after every meal. When I received it, I was actually going on vacation, so I brought them with me, and boy, were they convenient (and stylish)! I stored it in my wallet; I had chosen the pink one they gave me. They come in 7 different colors, so you can choose your favorite! The first time I used it, I followed their instructions and used it in front of the mirror. It took some getting used to, but after using it once, I was hooked! I thought the idea of reusable floss was awesome. I just use it, rinse it with hot water, then stick it back in my wallet. It's perfect for those with braces, hate flossing, or just need a quick floss. It saves money, too, because it's reuseable. Try it now; you can buy a pack of 3 online for just $5.99. Use BrytonPick floss, and you'll never worry aobut flossing anymore.
