Coupon Chief Review

You know that I’m all about saving money these days and when there are deals to be had, I go after them. When it comes to shopping online, the rule is to never make a purchase unless I can find a coupon code for a discount or at least free shipping.



This is where Coupon Chief comes in. It’s a huge database of coupons that can be used for all different kinds of online retailers ranging from clothing to electronics to home goods to even baby products. Another plus that differentiates it from other coupon sites is, that once a coupon expires, it is removed from the site so you aren't left filtering through a bunch of invalid codes. Users are also invited to comment, rate and validate coupons. Coupons can also easily be shared with friends via quick links to social networking outlets, such as Twitter and Facebook, as well as e-mail.

My favorite part of the site is the option to register for their “Pays-2-Share” program, which offers participants monetary incentives to upload coupons and compensate them when they are used. Every time someone uses a coupon you've uploaded, Coupon Chief will give you 2% of the sales, which can be paid out via a check or PayPal. You can’t get any more convenient than that!
For all the latest information, you can stay up to date by “liking” their Facebook page.

Simply Bags Review

Bob from Simply Bags contacted me and offered to send me a personalized insulated lunch bag. After I checked out all of the fabulous products on his website, I jumped at the opportunity and worked with him to have it personalized with my initials, in pink of course! The shipping was fast and the bag arrived in great condition.



It’s the perfect size for toting everything you need for lunch into the office and I’ve even been using it to keep sodas cold at the pool. The insulation keeps things chilled for hours. The fact that it’s personalized makes it even better. It also has a zipper pouch in the front and pocket in the back that would be great to carry utensils, condiments, etc.





Aside from lunch bags, they also offer personalized laptop bags, totes, duffle bags, and cosmetic bags. The personalization is always included in the price, which is a major plus! You will find a ton of variety on their website with an array of designs sure to please any taste.

Simply Bags sent this lunch bag free of charge in exchange for an honest review.

Whiteflash

I was contacted by Whiteflash.com to promote their jewelry and loose diamonds website. Please note that this is a sponsored post. I only choose to accept posts such as this from reputable companies.

With that said, Whiteflash.com has the largest in-stock inventory on the internet. They were crowned “Lord of the Online Rings” by Kiplinger’s magazine. Their representatives have the knowledge and expertise to help customers make the right decision and feel confident about their purchase. You can “Live Chat” with a customer service representative on the site with any questions you might have. You know that you’re also buying with confidence because Whiteflash.com offers free shipping, no hidden charges, a 10-day money back guarantee and lifetime trade-up on purchases. These are just a few of the things that you can come to expect from them.



One of the features that I really liked was the ability to search loose diamonds by the 4C’s (Carat, Color, Clarity and Cut/Shape). This makes it incredibly easy to find just what you’re looking for in building the perfect diamond engagement ring or cocktail ring. They also specialize in super ideal cut diamonds called, Whiteflash ACA (A Cut Above) Hearts & Arrows diamonds. These diamonds are cut with ultimate precision and reflect extreme brilliance.



With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, why not take a peek?

Fall shopping

I’ve been bitten once again by the fall shopping bug! It gets me every time. I have mostly been window shopping and web browsing, but last week the Gap and Banana Republic had a sale. Here are some of my purchases

‘Linette’ criss-cross high heel sandal in Moon Gold from Banana

Vertical ruffle top in New Vineyard from the Gap


Ruffle-front sweater in Pangea Blue


Herringbone bow ballet flats from the Gap

Long & lean jeans (medium wash) from the Gap

Favorite V-neck T in True Navy from the Gap

Corsage striped tank in Blue Stripe

I also used Ebates and earned over $10 from my shopping. I love this site! There really isn’t a catch. You just go to it and search for the store you want to shop at and it redirects you to their site. You earn a percentage of your purchases in your Ebates account. When your account reaches at least $10, they send you a check during the next payout period. Please use this link to sign up and we both get $5 in our account after you make your first purchase!

Abazias

Abazias is a diamond and luxury jewelry manufacturer that I discovered and wanted to share with my readers. Whether you’re soon-to-be engaged, planning a wedding or already married – Abazias has something for everyone. They carry a large selection of over 150,000 loose diamonds to choose from. One of the features I love on their site is the ability to choose the 4 C’s (cut, color, clarity and carat) from a sliding scale to find something that suits your budget and taste. They also carry rare cuts, such as the Asscher diamond, which is known for its beauty and brilliance.

Once you pick the diamond of your choice, they have many beautiful settings that you can have your new gem mounted on. If you prefer, you can have it shipped directly to your door and customize the setting yourself to make a unique piece that is sure to be treasured for years to come.

In addition to engagement rings, Abazias carries a vast selection of wedding bands, fashion rings, diamond studs, and watches. They can cater to any of your jewelry needs.

When you make a purchase from Abazias, you know that you’re buying with confidence. They offer a toll-free hotline to speak with a diamond specialist, as well as secure shopping, free shipping, and a “no questions asked” 10-day money back guarantee.

I know that I wouldn’t mind having a pair of diamond studs for our anniversary that I just picked out on their site. From browsing I’ve done online as well as in brick & mortar stores, I haven’t found a better price for the quality and size of the diamonds.
