Ibotta Review

https://home.ibotta.com/

I've had this app for a little over a year now and it's one of my favorite rebate apps. I find it easy to use and kinda fun. Now I've only gotten $250 back even though I've been using it for a year, but I usually go shopping first, than look and see if anything I got was on the app. I'm sure I'd have more if I did the app first, or used the app to make my shopping list, but I find it kinda stupid to buy things I wasn't gonna buy just because I can get money back on it. (Unless it's free, then why not)

My mom had some trouble figuring out the app, personally I find it easy. All you have to do to redeem the offers is check off the ones you want before scanning your receipt. If you shop at Hannaford, its slightly different. You have to have a hannaford rewards account and you need to click the things you're going to buy before you check out. That makes it simpler for those who don't like to keep receipts, but it takes a few days for the offers to go through. I do most all my shopping at Walmart so after I do my shopping, I look through the app to see if I got any of the offers, check them off, then scan the receipt bar code. The app then shows you the offers and asks you to confirm. If all looks right you hit confirm purchase and within minutes it will appear in you app account.

The fun thing about the app is that they do special bounces and teamwork rewards. Basically you get extra rewards for completing bounces and working with your teammates. Each month the rewards are different so you just gotta check in and see whats going on. If you sign up using my referral code laxiyjl you'll be added to my team. If you sign your Facebook up to it, any facebook friends that have the app connected to their FB will also be added to your team

Now a downside is if you don't do anything for 90 days they deduct 4$ from your account each month until your account hits 0. So if you don't plan on doing anything for a while, I would just get to the $20 to withdraw and empty it so you don't get the penalty. 

To withdraw you can use paypal, venmo or choose from tons of gift cards they offer. All you gotta remember is the password you set your Ibotta account up with or it wont let you take the money. 

If you're looking for a good rebate app, I would go with this one. I put a link to the website at the top if you wanna look into it more

Coffee Over Cardio Review

http://coffeeovercardio.com?aff=1352 

Coffee over Cardio is an online coffee shop with (at the moment) 8 different flavors of coffee and 2 flavors of creamer. Now, the cool thing about this brand is the coffee is healthier than most other brands and I've heard others say they've lost weight after switching over. (I'm pregnant so weight loss isn't something I can personally testify to). 

Their creamer is zero carb and surprisingly sweet. You definitely can cut out the sugar if you use this stuff. Right now its in Hot Fudge and Vanilla Caramel swirl.

They have Java points you can get if you make an account on their website and you get points tords a free order after every purchase

Now their prices are a little higher than most other bags of coffee, but they do offer bundle deals. Like a 3 pack where for $50 making it like one bag is free. A normal bag is $16.99 so that's a great deal. They even sell cups and metal straws. And they are really big on fitness

A recent addition to their shop is a CBD infused flavor drop type thing. You just add a drop or two to your coffee and it helps with anxiety, stress, body pain (all that fun stuff that CBD oil does) while adding a nutty flavor to your morning brew

So if this looks like a coffee you wanna check out I posted the link at the top

Matte Black Everythin Review

matteblackeverythin.com/?ref=bb-k36xd8 

Matte Black Everythin is a brand dedicated to the chic black look. They aim to make comfortable clothing that still looks stylish. "With every item from our original MBE line you will have a complete outfit and will look 100% chic and 100% ready for anything" a quote from their site

They do have some really cute clothing on their site but the biggest issue I find is that most things are usually sold out. And since they don't have a lot to choose from, it's kinda disappointing. And when I say not a lot, I mean like they only have maybe 15 products. They aren't bad products, and they're all reasonably priced. So maybe if they become a bigger business they'll add more to their line. They do have this really cute dress that I want to snag next time it's in stock. Another good thing is they do do discount codes. You can use MBEOSGB1X to get 20% off until JuLY 25th. 

So if you wanna check them out for yourself I put a link at the top. Maybe if you have any ideas for them I'm sure they would appreciate knowing that people care. Their contact info is on the site 

COZY Candles review

https://bwordproductions.com/cozy/2250

COZY Candles are a newer company that sells, obviously, candles. Their candles have a cute home made feeling to them from the containers they're in (and by the fact that they are home made sooo). They are made of 100% Soy wax, which makes them more Eco friendly than your normal candles, and allows them to burn longer. It's a win win type deal

They have a ton of fun scents. My favorite would have to be either the Butt Naked or the Monkey Farts. Both of those are from the Spring collection. They have 3 collections so far. Spring, Fall, and Forever. They have about 20 different scents to choose from right now and I'm sure they are growing to make more. They also have bundle deals with cute names like Grandmas Desserts. And they have one smoke and odor eliminator, that actually works pretty well and has a slight grapefruit scent to it.

Another thing I really like about this company, they always have some sort of deal going on, whether it be, scent of the week, or a give away, or a collection sale for the time of year. I'm always looking for a deal. The only down side to this company is that since they're newer they have a higher shipping cost. I'm sure if they get bigger they'll be able to get the shipping deal bigger companies get and then offer cheaper shipping, but for now, they do what they can.

Once they ship your order it takes 1-3 business days to arrive. They ship USPS Priority mail. You typically wont get your order till about a week after ordering though. They still have to make and package the candles.

So, if you want to check them out, I put the link at the top. (I mean, who doesn't want some Monkey Farts? Lolz)

Strideline Review

Hi! Use strideline.com/?ref=bb-k36xd8 when ordering from Strideline!

Strideline strives to be the most comfortable socks you will ever wear. I'm a pretty cheap person, so I was iffy about buying a 10$ pair of socks, but they do say if these are not the most comfortable socks you've ever worn they will give you a full refund. They were having a sale and I let my husband talk me into getting him a 8-pack.

So far, I am impressed. They are super breathable, my feet don't get sweaty in them. My husband use to have really rank feet when he got home from work, but now I can still breath when he takes his shoes off. They even have little L's and R's to tell you which foot they go on (not to mention it helps you keep track of the pairs).

After washing them a few times, they still keep their shape and feel new. (And the drying hasn't eaten them yet) I love the arch support that they have and would probably like them more if I got myself the women's socks vs wearing my husbands men ones.

It takes a bit to find the sizing chart, I had to help a friend with that a little bit ago. They do have the corresponding sizes next to their sizes (S,M,L) when picking a size to add to cart.

I put this one on the wrong foot....

Oh and they also have a lot of sport related socks. Like NBA, MLB, NFL. They also have player specific socks for each league. I have read that these don't hold their color too well though. (I'm not big on sports, so I'm not really planning on getting any player socks. And the special socks like these are $20 a pair.

They do have deals, where it's slightly cheaper when you buy the packs instead of one pair at a time, and free shipping on orders over $25, so that's nice. You can also get 10% off with this code BBALU9KH
If athletic socks are something you enjoy then I do recommend trying out Strideline for yourself. Link to their websites at the top

Inkbox Temporary Tattoos Review

Hi! Use inkbox.com/?ref=bb-k36xd8 when ordering from inkbox!

Inkbox Tattoo's is a Temporary/ Semi-permanent tattoo company. And they have hundreds of designs to choose from. These aren't like your normal temporary tattoo that you put on by soaking the back and have them stick to you. With Inkbox, they actually last 8-18 days and you cants scratch them off. Its kinda like when you draw on yourself with a sharpie but with non toxic ink.

You get this little application kit to put it on, even has an instruction booklet to help you through it. The only problem is if you screw it up, you could end up with a blob on your body for a few weeks. I'll give a quick hint that I learned. Don't apply to really dry skin, the ink kinda seeps into your pores and will spread in the little lines. Also, the hotter your cloth, the darker your tattoo will turn out. They are always light at first, but don't worry, after a few hours it will darken up.

Example when applied to dry skin

Now, another thing I like about these guys, you can have them make you a personalized tattoo, all you have to do is upload an image of what you want and they will make it for you. Just beware that this will add about 3-5 more days onto the already a week wait for getting it. (Yes, shipping takes about a week depending on what day and time you order. Took 8 days when I ordered on a Sunday) And shipping is free to U.S and Canada for orders of $32 and up. So (depending on what you get) that's about 2 tattoos for free shipping. For free international shipping you have to order $39 or more

Minutes after application 

Here's a quote from their site about the ink they use "The active dye compound in our ink is naturally derived from the Genipa americana plant. Tribes in South America have used this plant for body ornamentation for thousands of years. inkbox uses safe ingredients in our inks. Our ink does not contain PPD. Nonetheless, seeing as inkbox contains ingredients you may not have put on your skin before, there is a small risk of allergic reaction upon application, or of sensitization through repeated use. If you experience any reaction either during or after using inkbox, we recommend contacting a medical professional and reporting your reaction to us at hi@inkbox.com. Possible effects include redness, rash, irritation, or in extremely rare cases, scarring." So like anything you put on your skin, be careful if you aren't sure of allergies

The next day

Picking a location for your temporary tattoo is a little harder than choosing a spot for a real one, simply because there are cretin sections of skin that don't hold ink as well and will wash away faster. So depending on how long you want to keep it for, you may want to put it somewhere that doesn't sweat much. I had one on my leg that lasted for 3 weeks. Hands tend to wash off quickly because you wash them so often. Outer arm lasts longer than inner. My most recent one is on my upper back, so I'm not sure what to expect with this one.

If it wasn't clear by now, I absolutely recommend getting one if you love temporary tattoos. or, if you have a tattoo idea that you want to test out, but aren't sure about their price range is $14-$23 (That I've seen) a lot cheaper than a real one. And if you don't like it, you don't have to stress about keeping it your whole life. My husband is thinking about getting a tattoo on his forearm so he keeps putting his Inkbox's there. He's trying to decide what he want's and what size to get (which will help us price it out once he makes up his mind).

Wish review

https://www.wish.com/

Who hasn't heard about Wish? Everything cheap and everything from China. I've seen a lot of bad reviews about Wish but not a lot of good. In fact I don't think I've seen any good at all. But I'm going to be honest and say I don't think the people who rated Wish read the reviews of what they ordered before buying. I've gotten tons of stuff over the years, and have only had 3 items that I never received (and they were all refunded) and I got one shirt that had the sleeves inside out. I'm gonna go through and tell ya'll about the things I've gotten and hopefully give you a better view on the site

Sweater dress and fleece lined leggings

This outfit is one of my absolute favorites to wear in the fall. Now the dress is shorter than it should be but that's why I got the leggings to go with it. (I'm also slightly taller than average so I expect things to be shorter on me than the stock pics) When ordering you have to remember that most everything is in Asian sizing so must things should be ordered up a size. They also have sizing charts on most all the cloths. The dress and leggings were both ordered in Larges and fit like Medium/Smalls.

Bell bottom pants and crop top

I love this summer outfit. The pants are made of the most comfortable material and the shirt is super cute. (You can't see with this pic but it has an attached choker) I have 3 pairs of these pants in different patterns and intend on getting more. The only thing about the shirt is that its white, so you gotta watch what you wear for a bra. That's another thing with Wish tops, they tend to be thin/see through in the lighter colors.

Bikini

Now the bikini would've been amazing, but I couldn't get it tight enough to hold up my boobs (and I get self conscious about that) but it looked great in the back and the material was perfect. With things like this, if you are big busted and something looks advertised to you, just be aware that D's are considered big and if you have DDD or higher, you might not want to get bikini's or bras here  

 I've gotten 5 pokemon tops (because who doesn't love pokemon??) As mentioned earlier, I'm slightly taller than average so things don't quiet fit right in the length, and the boobs don't help. These shirts are intended to sit at the belly button

Festival Dress

The festival dress is to die for! it is really thin material, but that makes it perfect for those blazing hot summer days.


I have so many more things that I love but just don't have pictures of (and am too lazy to go find and take pictures of). But most reviews I see are on the clothing anyway so hopefully this is a positive on that side. I wouldn't recommend most of their jewelry. It looks like most of its fake metal that turns fingers green and blue. I did order some necklaces and have good lick with those. If you order lights of any sort, don't freak if they don't work when you first get them, they might just need a battery. The toys/stuffed animals are fine that I've gotten (I did see one person get a stuffed animal that looked super deformed)


So yeah, I love the site because everything is super cheap and I've had a good time with it. As long as you don't mind waiting a month for shipping, you should check it out. If you want, you can check out my wishlist for things I've gotten/ think look good to buy. https://www.wish.com/profile?uid=58503f614b6623fb8dd7b78f  it is kinda cool, you can 'follow' other shoppers that have the same intrests are you or just people that you trust to see how they reviewed things that you want to buy.

And since its Wish, they always have some sort of discount code. czsvvvf is for up to 50% (not including shipping, sadly) and if you get the app, every other time you log in, it will give you a code for anywhere between 20-50% off

Pro Teeth Whitening Co Review

Code: SMILENOW15 will get you 15% off any purchase from Pro Teeth Whitening Co 

I'm going to start off with saying that they're Charcoal Toothpaste https://www.proteethwhitening.co/products/activated-charcoal-whitening-toothpaste-mint-flavour-100-naturally-derived-fluoride-free actually works. My husband has horrible teeth and is really bad about brushing daily (I'm not the best, but the longest I've ever gone was 2 days while traveling cross country). With this toothpaste I definitely see a difference in his mouth. He claims to see my teeth getting whiter (I'm not as sure because I've only been using it for a week) but my mouth does feel better than when I was using Colgate. And it's fun to use because it makes your mouth all black while you're brushing. This toothpaste has a 4.5 star rating.

They also have this Teeth whitening powder https://www.proteethwhitening.co/products/activated-charcoal-natural-teeth-whitening-powder that people seem to be liking a lot. I haven't personally tried it but the reviews are mostly all positive. On the site they have a 4.2 star review and looking at them, all the negative reviews are from over a year ago (I made it back to September 2018 and decided to stop looking back because they were all positive and I'm lazy)

And their Natural Mouthwash https://www.proteethwhitening.co/collections/mouthwashes/products/activated-charcoal-natural-teeth-whitening-mouthwash-peppermint-flavour-98-naturally-derived looks like its newer with only 15 reviews it has a 4.6 rating. (They also have an Aloe Vera mouth wash but that has one review and its 2 stars. I'm allergic to aloe vera so I wont even consider that one)

So if you want to check out their other products here's a link to the website proteethwhitening.co/?ref=bb-k36xd8 they are based out of the UK so shipping takes a little bit if you're in the US and we don't get the free shipping. And remember you can use SMILENOW15 to get 15% off your order
