I heart coupons and freebies

Normally I would post freebies, and coupon stuff on my other website over at Locupleto (check it out!). However, I have decided that today I’ll be a bit different and chat about them all here. Now I haven’t personally ever received free cell phones or anything of great deal. But I’m always scoping out sales and then using my coupons to get products for nearly nothing. Wait it out, that’s what you have to do.

There’s also times where I forget my coupon envelope and also other times where I don’t use it for weeks on end and all the coupons I have inside are expired. I am the “queen” however of getting free samples, as you may already be able to tell if you visit Locupleto. There’s things such as P&G BrandSaver where they mail you boxes of samples, if you just twist around your address a little. So make sure that you check out my other website, since I always post when the P&G becomes available. It only happens a handful of times per year, but when it does – boy is it good.

Have you gotten any free stuff with the help of any friends, or maybe websites? Leave your favorite one’s below.

Tell me this isn’t true

Don’t you love it when you find a fabulous hair stylist? Or an inexpensive nail lady? I’ve lucked out with both within the past couple of years.

I’ve been going to my new hair stylist and have already followed him to a new salon (where I spotted Angela a few weeks back). Since I’ve been loyal to following him to the new place he’s been giving me hair cuts for so much less than at the other place. I’m almost as content with him as I was with my stylist back home who ended up quitting due to an addiction of drugs. Yeah. Tell me about it.

Either way, I love going into a salon where the stylist makes you absolutely happy and you don’t have to tell him/her what you want. They just do it for you. They know what looks good. Right? Isn’t that the best? He knows I’ll never cut my hair above my shoulders, as he and I both love me with long hair. So fun. I just wish he’d let my “bangs” grow out and not even dare touch them. I tell him this every time, but he refuses. Sigh.

As for my nail lady. I used to take the bus to visit her for a self-spa day getting my $20 pedicure which takes a ridiculously long time as she’s so meticulous with everything she does. The polish never chips. Never. It just grows out. I can’t speak for her manicures though. For only $10 you can’t beat it, but since my hands during the winter always crack and are painfully dry — the manicure looks good for 3-5 days.

So! I had my first pedi of 2011 last week, and my next hair cut (I mean, trim)  this week!

Tomorrow’s post is going to be bombarded with photos. Be prepared, and no it won’t be about a prenatal vitamin, but rather cars. Maybe I’ll post about my argument with this ebay seller in California refunding me £1.50 shipping instead of what I was owed. Why is she even operating in pounds instead of US dollars? Oh the unnecessary stress.

Anthroshoes ‘n’ wants

The first 2011 Anthropologie wish list (once again).

I think I’m going to stalk these wooden heels til they go on sale. I’d love for them to be MINE.

This looks like a darling little numba, but the price tag does not. 90% off and I’ll buy it?

Oh, hai. It’s also my Daddio’s birthday tomorrow morn — well, I guess all day. Technically. A phone call (and using my blackberry and not one of the prepaid cell phones) is in order to the household.
