I've recently started applying for free product samples through various free sample sites. It has been a fun hobby for me. I have been sharing my "unboxing" of them on my Youtube channel, as well as share pictures on my Instagram. It is exciting seeing a little package for me in my mailbox with my name on it. Here are the recent freebies I received:
💛 FREE Poise Starter Kit for Light Leaks from Kimberly-Clark 💛 Oilogic Essential Oil Care for Babies & Toddlers 'Slumber & Sleep Essential Oil Blend' 💛 The Tasty Bite Good Seed 'Organic Mesclun Lettuce Seeds' 💛 Breathe Right Extra Clear For Sensitive Skin from GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare 💛 Sun-Maid Recipe Booklet 'Healthy Living: Recipes for Healthier Living' 💛 Emergen-C Vitamin Drink Mix 'Original and Emergen-C Immune+' 💛 Allure Magazine April 2017 💛 Vogue Magazine April 2017 💛 Glamour Magazine May 2017 💛 W Magazine March & April 2017
I'm grateful for all the samples & if you'd like to check out my video, you can click below. Please hit the subscribe button while you're there!
Earth Day was April 22, 2017 & ZOYA is offering their "Earth Day Exchange" where you trade in a your old nail polish for a 50% credit towards your purchase with free shipping. You have to purchase a minimum of 6 bottles with a max of 24. They retail $10 on their website, so if you purchase 6 bottles you pay $30 plus tax. Not a bad deal. They don't require you to send in your polishes into them (& don't specify a certain amount). They use the honor system, to where you either mail them your polishes or donate them & they don't have to be ZOYA brand nail polish. You can click on the photo above for more info & Q&A's. The Zoya Earth Day Exchange 2017 runs from 4.10.17-5.10.17 (11.59PST). Use code "EARTHLUV" at checkout. I don't think I'll be participating this year, but if I were these would be the 6 shades I'd choose. You'll see a theme: light/neutral because I'm so darn daring.

Are you participating this year? Or have you used their program before? I have 1 or 2 shades by ZOYA & they are amazing. The opacity is better than most brands I've used. I don't have to fuss by applying coat after coat.
ZOYA prides themselves on being the "healthy color of fashion". They are known for long wearing, toxin free formulated without formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate, toluene, camphor, tphp, parabens, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, & lead. Therefore branding them as "BIG 10 FREE".

I recently did a Walmart haul on my Youtube channel as I do from time to time. I started doing these because these are more lifestyle things, & I haven't been buying much makeup. This is to give my viewers & subscribers a look at the day to day average products that I use that you probably do too.
Plus I like to watch these too... any type of haul usually as long as the person is real & authentic I am drawn to them.

Recently it was my birthday (march baby) & I was fortunate enough to make a little day trip to San Francisco. On the way I got my hair "fixed" from a horrible haircut from a place I never go to, so I'm happy to have that done.
Also the other mission of the day was to pick up a couple things from MAC Pro as well as some birthday freebies from Fresh, Ulta, & Sephora.
I also picked up a few things from Bath & Body Works as well.
