A Healthy Way to Earn a Little Cash at iHerb.com

Earn money by giving away online coupons! That's right.

Let me start at the beginning.

On a recent trip to the dentist I was scolded for over brushing. Apparently my enthusiasm for a sparkling smile has taken a toll on my gums. Bryce and I just visited honey farm this past weekend and I recalled reading something about Bee Propolis being good for gums so I tracked down an all natural toothpaste with Bee Propolis.

Always looking for a bargain I googled iherb.com coupons and found a $5 off code good for new customers. Yay for me! Turns out, yay for the person that posted it too. In order to get new customers iherb.com sets up referral codes for all new customers. Each person that I refer to the company gets $5 off their first order, and I get 4% of their sale. They in turn get a referral code and get 4% of the sale and I get 3%...and so the process goes.

A bit pyramid-esque, but hey, if I'm shopping there anyway why not. In case any of you would like to check out their products, here is a code to save you $5 and perhaps put 5 cents into my piggy bank towards future orders.

They have a great line of all natural products, vitamins, etc for very reasonable prices.

Coupon code POD190

As always, Happy Shopping!! Enjoy!

"Generosity is the Pathway for More"

Please forgive me for a moment if I stray from the purpose of my blog...

As many of you know, I'm a big advocate and supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness, and Cancer Awareness in general. The improvements that have been achieved in diagnosing and treating cancers is incredible.

On May 7, 2011, I will be walking in the Revlon's walk for the cure to raise both awareness and funds to continue research, treatment and support for those dealing with this horrible disease. Cancer can impact anyone, at any time.

Living a thrifty lifestyle means not living in excess beyond your means, but it should never prevent you from supporting a cause or charity you believe in. I encourage you to give what you can. $1, $2 or $100. Thank you for your support.

How does Livingsocial work? They string a great deal in front of your nose, you snatch it up, and then they count on you to get out there and talk them up. If you share the deal with three friends and they purchase it, the deal is yours free of charge. What a great way to score a free trip if you are planning to travel with friends, or eat free at a lady's lunch.

Want to live the high life, for the right price? Now you can. Check out Groupon. Groupon is a site where you can register your city and they upload a coupon daily at ridiculously discounted rates.

How does it work? Each day a deal is shared within the Groupon community. If you want it, you hit "buy." The trick is, enough people have to "buy" the deal for it to be valid. Ingenious marketing! Depending on how badly you want the deal, they count on us to be their PR firm, get out there, get people hyped and "buy" the deal too.

If enough people purchase it by midnight, your credit card gets charged and it is yours! If enough people don't, you're not stuck with any charges. Membership is free and secure. So, check it out. Get that hour massage you always dreamed of for $20 :)
