♥ Birthday Love - Part 1♥

So, I have always signed up for e-mails and newsletters through stores and restaurants because I love a good deal or coupon!  I usually end up deleting most of the e-mails because they are about sales or specials that I don't want to take advantage of or some other form of junk mail.  The month of July, however, is a different story!!  All of my favorite stores and restaurants send me coupons for free goodies!  I ♥ it and ALWAYS take advantage of freebies :)  Here's what I got this year!

 Free drink from Starbucks - Java Chip Frappuccino - the Light Version.  Yummy!!

One of my favorite makeup stores, Ulta, sent me a free $10 certificate!  I picked up this AMAZING Emerald Eyeshadow - I can't wait to use it!

I also picked up this Nutrient Spray - it's supposed to make your hair shiny and also act as a conditioning treatment.  I tried it out and ♥ it.  It's not oily or greasy and it made my hair shiny and soft - it also smells good!

DSW Shoe store sent me a $5 certificate so I bought some of these shoe cushions.  A set of 2 costs 7 bucks so I was only out $2!

Sephora's gift was a set of SUGAR lip gloss - It is probably the softest silkiest lip gloss I've ever used!  I will probably be buying a big tube once these samples are gone.

  And here are all my gifts!  See the 6-pc. Towel Set in the back?  Well, JCPenneys sent me a $15 certificate and I scored big on the clearance rack in the store this weekend. I got all 6 towels (PERFECT match to my bathroom) for $18!!!  So I only had to spend $3 of my own money!! 

 

I also got a free sandwich from Schlotzsky's.  I tried out their new Chicken Cordon Bleu - it was absolutely DELICIOUS!!  Chicken, Bacon, Cheese and Honey Mustard??  Yes, Please!!! 

I just love all my birthday freebies...Happy Birthday to Me!!!  Lesson learned??  Go sign up for newsletters and e-mails, people!!!  It's worth all the junk mail :)
