You Never Lose Risk Free Penny Auctions (Review and Free Offer!)

When I first received an email about this penny auction site, I figured it would end up being as expensive in the long run, as all the other penny auction sites. Well, surprisingly enough, I was very wrong!
I have been checking with this site for a few weeks, and figured I should research them a bit, before I tell any friends, readers, family, etc, to sign up with them, and I have been more then pleased with this website!
I have tried plenty of other "penny auctions", and luckily, I wasn't the type who continued to purchase pennies to use to place bids, otherwise, I would have spent hundreds for something definitely not worth anywhere close to it. (You will usually find these websites affiliated or sent in an email offer by the websites that pay you to sign up for things, shop online, etc)
What makes this website so unique, is that you will get points ONLY, when you purchase gift cards! If you buy a $50 gift card, you will get 50 points, and so on. Those points in turn end up being your "pennies" that you can use to place bids on other gift cards!
I was given 25 pennies or points, to try them out, and alas, I did not win. However, had I made a gift card purchase, and racked up my points, I believe I would have been able to outbid a few other bidders and win at least once.
They offer gift cards to purchase from all the regular brands and retailers. Gap, Sears, Bath and Body works, are just a few of the gift cards you can buy in order to get points, (or pennies). They also offer FREE shipping on all of your gift card purchases! You can't really lose here, hence the name, You Never Lose. (lol)
The auctions seem to go on 24 hours per day, and you can check in and see how much time is left, place your bids, whenever you have time.
Of course there will be a lot of people on, bidding and trying to outbid, but I believe this would be an excellent site to actually buy gift cards from, year round. Then I would keep racking my points up, and wait until I had several, then I would start getting serious and try and outbid everybody I could, to grab a gift card or 2.
If you would spend $500 throughout theyear on gift cards, and buy them all through, Youneverlose.com, and maybe choose a month or a week, or 2 throughout the year, and log on to bid like crazy, you could more then likely grab a gift card for FREE! (You aren't spending a cent on your points, since you literally make a purchase for the same amount you spent)
I am going to do this, and I will keep everybody up to date with what I might win in the future from this site. It is a newer site, and I believe it will indeed, turn out to be one of the better gift card, and penny auction sites around.
Visit their site and see what they have to offer! They are offering a code for all my readers, with your first purchase! Use code: LAUNCH10, and when you buy your first gift card, you will get an additional 10 points in your account!!
Keep in mind, most penny auctions have this rule at the end of an auction!
When somebody bids in the last few seconds of an auction, it will add 20 seconds to the bidding time that is left! So, you might want to grab some coffee, and make sure you have a bit of time.Don't bid, and leave! Otherwise, you won't be winning a thing. You have to sit and sometimes these auctions can get a little crazy, but if it's free, well, it is worth a shot!!
Visit their Facebook page, and you can find them on Twitter!
Sign up today and remember to use the coupon code, LAUNCH10 for your free 10 points!! (With your first gift card purchase!) A very sweet offer, just for checking out their site!
Please comment below and let me know if you developed a good strategy or if you won, I love to hear feedback on the sites and brands that my family loves!
Plus, the rest of us could sure use some pointers!

Current Giveaways

I figured I would make a quick post about the current giveaways!
Right now on Facebook, we are having a sponsored giveaway, by http://www.mymemories.com/!
I had the chance to review the My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software a couple months ago, and my kids and I absolutely love this software! We were given the generous opportunity to host a giveaway for My Memories, and we did run into a few complications along the way. Nothing at all that had to do with My Memories! They have been excellent to work with, and have so many super deals and even weekly freebies, all you have to do is sign up for their newsletter!
However, we had entrants who did not seem to want to follow the rules, so, I redid the giveaway, (after the only winner that did enter correctly, failed to respond), and it is live on Facebook right now, and will be ending soon! Please check our Facebook page for this giveaway!!
We also have an Alwaysfits.com Giveaway tab, on our Facebook page! Check that tab out for an amazing giant gummi bear on a stick giveaway! This giveaway will end when we reach 2000 fans!!
There is also a $25 Enchanted Potions gift certifcate giveaway, for any subscribers to my RSS on this blog, and this is also open to RSS sunscribers to http://www.momscrazyday.com/.
This winner will be chosen on Black Friday! Enter while you still can!!
The gift certificate can only be used on orders placed through me, and after visiting the site, you can email your order to busymommylist@yahoo.com
Always make sure you check in at our Facebook page as often as you can for the daily deals, samples and freebies! We have lots of coupon insert giveaways here too!

Enchanted Potions Giveaway!!

I recently started selling Enchanted Potions products, and I will be doing an order this week, so I can offer gift baskets and gift ideas on Ebay, here, and Facebook.
I am super happy with their products! I have used the lip balms, lotions, shower gel, and shampoo. My 4 year old absolutely loves the bubble gum scented detangling spray I specially ordered! Deegan, and even the other 2 kids, lol, love the fun smelling bath confetti! Plus, they come in adorable little shapes, we have fish and ducks. The little envelopes are so cute, and they last a few baths, depending on how many your kids beg and scream for! Mine all ask for more since they dissolve in the bath water, lol.
This company is very unique, and I am thrilled to be a direct seller for them! I can't wait to start making gift baskets, and posting the pictures and scents.
The best part of this company, is that you can customize your orders, with your choice of scents! They offer a great list, anything from, toasted marshmallow, to bubble gum to candy corn, to sweet pea! Almost every product they offer, is able to be customized with your choice of very good smelling scents!
I love the lip balm, I have a heavy addiction to lip glosses and lip balms and even if it is not pink, (my usual favorite choice), I don't leave the house without it! It works great against chapped lips, and I am happy I ordered 2, since Genevive also loves it, and lip glosses and lip balms have a tendency to get lost around here lol!
I also am falling in love with the chocolate scented shower gel! I pair that up with my toasted marshmellow body lotion, yum!
Anyway, I am offering a free gift with any orders over $50 right now, and 2 free gifts with any order over $75!! You can order through me, busymommylist@yahoo.com, or you can order direct from the website. If you order from the website directly, please remember to put my name, Brandy Oliver, as the sales rep! I will be able to see who ordered and you can email me directly to let me know that you did this, that way, I can ask for your address, and send your free Enchanted Potions products!
Now, let me tell you about the fantastic Enchanted Potions Giveaway!!!
The only requirements for this giveaway are to subscribe to my RSS feed! You have 2 opportunities to enter this way!
The first being this blog, http://www.busymommylist.com/, and the second will be to subscribe to my RSS feed at http://www.momscrazyday.com/!
It's very simple! I will then, go through the emails that are subscribed, and through http://www.random.org/, pick an email, and you will win a $25 Enchanted Potions store credit!! You can order direct through me, and the $25 will be taken off of your order!!
There is one more thing that you may find a little annoying that I would like to explain.
Enchanted Potions makes all of their products, to order. There aren't any shelves or warehouses, filled with products, because, when you place your order, they start from scratch! Wow!! I know, it is a bit long, (usually a 3 week wait), to receive your order, but I guarantee it is well worth the wait! I also love the fact that they made it special, just for me, after I placed the order! Lotions and shampoos, do have a shelf life, and there are times I wonder how long things have been sitting around when I shop. I do not have to worry about that with these products!!
The giveaway will be ending on the day before Thanksgiving!! I will make the announcement on here, and all social networks, as well as email the winner! This way, you will be able to order in time for Christmas! Whether it will be for yourself, or somebody else, you will be certain to have it in time, (as long as you order very shortly after receiving the winner email!)
If you have any questions, comments, or would like to order, or if you would like to start selling Enchanted Potions products, you can email me at busymommylist@yahoo.com, or comment here!!
I would also always be interested in doing giveaways with sponsors, to help promote your products and blogs or business! AND always feel free to contact me in case you are in need of a sponsor for a giveaway as well! I sell Enchanted Potions, and Gold Canyon Candles, and RADA. RADA is an ongoing fundraiser I do for RSD, a medical condition I suffer from. If any of these would help your site, and you would like to offer any of my products, please let me know! I am hoping to have a much more established networking type "business", in the near future when I have bigger numbers, and sponsoring giveaways will always be something I do!

Connie Won the My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software Giveaway!!

First, let me explain the creation above, lol.
My oldest daughter, Bethany, has this drummer boyfriend, Andrew, who is pictured above. Well, Genevive, my 4 year old, decided it would be much fun to make Andrew look like this with our My Memories Software. (We love this stuff!!) So, this is why there are pretty flowers and colors all around this boyfriend of Genevive's big sister.
Anyway, we had 22 entries for this giveaway, and it was posted numerous times, however, only 1 person followed the instructions, and posted at the right spot and was honest in completing all of the tasks involved in the giveaway. Thank goodness we had at least 1, lol.
From now on, in all of our giveaways, you have no choice but to follow the rules and guidelines posted. I can't even count your entry, especially if you did not even visit the sponsors page, and you unfollowed my blog or blogs, a day after posting on Facebook or Twitter, that you followed the rules and entered the giveaway!
So, thank you Connie!! I appreciate your comment, and the following all of the guidelines!! This means a lot to me, and I am blessed to have you as a blog friend!!
Please email me at busymommylist@yahoo.com, with your info, so that I can forward this info to our giveaway sponsor, My Memories!
I can also give you the info, if you don't already have it, about the freebies they offer each week!! They have awesome freebie downloads, which are great editions to the software set that Connie just won!
I have had nothing but a fun time, and a great experience, with My Memories, Liz, is the sweetest, and I am very grateful that she emailed me a few months back with so many great opportunities!
We will be working a lot with My Memories, and I will be posting the freebies they offer, coupon code links for the Scrapbook software, and creations that my kids and I make with the download they generously gave to us to review!
I hope you all take advantage of this great companies offers, and the fun times you can have with your children, making such fun creations! I personally recommend this software, and we use this quite a bit. Whether it's just for fun, like the picture above, or we are making cards or photo albums.
I haven't figured it all out yet, but with this software kit, you can also make your blog templates, logos, business cards, the list is literally endless, and I am scheduling some extra time in November, to work on a whole series of My Memories creations and posts for you to interact with, and share!

My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software Review and Giveaway!

This software I was so generously given an opportunity to review, is so much fun to create things with!
I have never been much of a scrapbooker, but I am addicted to this software and I found that it is not just for scrapbooking!
I have since signed up for the newsletter, from http://www.mymemories.com, and they have very cool deals and specials, included some free downloads.
I was having a hard time getting this download and starting this new hobby, due to printer issues, and ink problems, and I am finally able to print all of our creations. ( The kids are super happy about this!).
I have only recently started blogging, and learning all I can about computers, blogging, and everything in between. I have to say, it has been an adventure! I pick new goals each week, and each day, and it is quite fulfilling when I can cross something off my list.
For being fairly new and trying to teach myself so many things, this My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software, was a blessing! It was so simple to install, and start the whole process, not to mention how simple it is to start creating your pages, pictures, cards, practically anything you want! (I just recently started learning how to mess with pictures, edit, cropping, etc, with our caveman years digital camera, lol), so i was shocked at how easy this was to place the pictures right  where I want them.
The variety of layouts, and templates, will keep you occupied and allow for many, many, scrapbooks pages or virtually anything you can think of! I have come across some very adorable blog templates and buttons, made from this software, so that is something I am attempting next! I have been reading blogs that I have found through Mymemories on Facebook, and they are some of the prettiest, and coolest designs I have seen!
This is something every mom, grandma, dad, blogger, crafter, business, anybody, should have! There is so much you can do with this, and the price is just right. $39.97 for the complete My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software, is a nice price! They also offer backup, and updated versions as well, for a very low price. I was given a coupon code you can use, to receive $10 off the final price of your order!! This can be placed directly in the coupon code box at checkout! You can click here to purchase the software and when you get to the checkout process, (You should check out the other kits they offer! There is a "free kits" tab at the top of the page!!), you can enter this coupon code, STMMMS10452, for $10 off of your order! (This code is only for the My Memories Suite v2, but this software will start you out on tons and tons of options for creating so many things!
While you are grabbing this software, you have to check out all of their deals! They have freebies, like I mentioned before, and dollar deals, digital scrapbooking kits, very gorgeous album templates, and a Design Club!
The Design Club is $5.99 per month and you can cancel at any time, (although I doubt you will want too) because they will give you 5 exclusive new kits, each month! You also get access to the new designs, a month before everybody else! You also will receive specials, promos, extra super deals for Design Club members, AND the best part, (ok, one of the best parts, because the 5 exclusive new kits each month is very cool!), is you will receive a 5% discount for every 6 consecutive months that you stay in the Design Club! (up to 20%!!). That discount applies to anything in their store, and is stackable with other deals and promotional discounts. I am very impressed with that deal, compared to other "clubs', i have never come across such awesome benefits!
Back to my review of this real amazing download! I am just amazed at the amount of designs, colors, shapes, templates, textures, shadows, all kinds of extras in this software download, that is very simple to put together, and looks wonderful! The picture at the top of this post, is the very first page I created with My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software. I am so happy and shocked that I was able to do this, and I am spending the rest of our rainy day, creating more pages!
On top of all of the real cool and cute flowers, and ribbons, and shapes, the parts I am in love with are the textures! The shadowing tool is very neat too! I just think this is super cool! I love how it adds dimension to the pages! You have to look at all of the embellishments there is! I am just so thrilled to have this, and i keep coming up with new ideas for gifts and pages.
There are many options to share your creations, you can print your own creations, or have them professionally made into a book, (or books). you can order as many of these hard bound books as you would like. An excellent idea for relations for the holidays!
You can also choose to have a DVD made, or view on your iPod.
There is also a way to make your scrapbook interactive, and you can send to long distance friends and family. They can play video, and you can embed files, and share links. You can make calendars, cards, trading cards for your children's sports teams, make posters, and videos to share with family!
This is the perfect gift also, for your favorite pro scrapbooker! They will have a blast with this program, I have read lots of reviews about this program, and it seems that there are several avid scrapbookers, who have been using this software, and only this software. (You do not have to use the templates that are provided, you can make one from scratch!)
You have to check out their website, and see for yourself, all of the designs, templates, kits and options you will have with www.mymemories.com! Think of all of the money saved making your own greeting cards and calendars!!
Don't forget, if you go here and enter the coupon code, you will receive $10 off!http://www.mymemories.com/digital_scrapbooking_software (making this software, the final price of $29.97!) The holidays are coming up and this would also be a great gift for family and friends! Whether you are making the creations as gifts or purchasing the software for them, it is the perfect, and a very thoughtful gift.
I will be making another post today, as Mymemories, is sponsoring a giveaway for my readers! YAY!!
The giveaway winner will receive a promo code, to install the My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software for FREE!
Check my blogs, and Facebook in the next 24 hours, for this giveaway to be officially announced!

Mary Kay fragrance samples!

Fill out the form through this link, to receive some samples of Mary Kay fragrance!
I should tell you that I did fill out this form, and I'm hoping for better fragrances then what I'm used to from them. I like much lighter fragrance, and I have yet to find a Mary Kay fragrance I like.
However, I am madly in love with most of their skin care line! Oh, and the newest limited edition eye pencils!!

https://www.marykay.com/facialusa/freesample/freesample.aspx

John Freida free samples

I apologize for not having the knowledge yet, of how to get links put on my posts for you to easily click onto.
I will be figuring this out as soon as I can;p If anybody has any hints, I would love to hear them!
Anyway, if you sign up for John Freida newsletters, they are offering free samples and coupons for you!
I am already receiving the newsletters, and I am quite happy with the amount of samples and coupons I receive in my email inbox, and mailbox;p
I am a sometime user of John Freida products, it does help very much when there is a coupon, because I do believe the prices are higher then what I normally spend on such things.
CVS and Rite Aid do tend to have very good sales on these products though at times.
I also think they are very excellent products! I have yet to use something of theirs that I do not like!
