Free Stay Away Spiders natural pest prevention from SocialNature

During the summer months we get lots of spiders here in Southern California. I really don't like the icky feeling of walking right through a spider web. Also, trying to kill unwanted spiders that sneak into my home is no fun. So I was excited to try Stay Away Spiders from EarthKind.

This product is great for natural pest control and you can try it free from SocialNature.com. Before joining Social Nature I had never heard of EarthKind products, but I am happy I got to try this product. It has a pleasant scent because it is made with citronella, lemongrass and rosemary. The scent keeps the spiders away, but it smells good in my home. I just placed it in an area where spiders tend to visit and then the spiders stay away. One pouch lasts for 30+ days.

If you sign-up with this unique link you'll get priority for any Social Nature products that you want! Free products are limited in quantity, but anyone who doesn’t get a free product will get a coupon to try the product at a discount. Here is how SocialNature works:

Free Kat Von D Lock-It Makeup from Influenster

I was so excited when I found out I was selected to receive a free box of Kat Von D makeup from Influenster.com. I couldn't wait to try the makeup because I have met Kat Von D before and her makeup looked great when I saw her in Fullerton, CA a few years ago.

This box contained two Lock-It Concealer Cremes, one Lock-It Setting Powder, a Lock-It Concealer Brush and a Lock-It Setting Powder Brush. These items are all high quality products and I looked up the retail value on the Kat Von D beauty site and they are worth approximately $140.00 all together. I got these products free from Influenster in exchange for giving my opinion of the products.

All of the Lock-It makeup products work great. The concealer covers really well and the concealer brush blends well and feels great on my skin. The powder is loose and translucent and the powder brush is soft and shaped really well. I love trying new beauty products and here are some pictures of the results.

If you want to get free products like these too, just sign up for Influenster. After you sign up they will give you the chance to participate in Campaigns. The Vox Box Campaigns will send you free products to try and there is no charge to join or for shipping. Then you will need to do the activities on the site to be eligible for future freebies. I have been lucky enough to be selected for quite a few awesome products and I am happy that I got the chance to try this one.

Free Books from NetGalley and Chatterbox from Houseparty

Discover Books First: Booksellers, librarians, reviewers, educators and media: browse by category or favorite publishers to request books to review. The Profile you create provides key info about how you recommend and influence book purchases on NetGalley.

I first found out about NetGalley from the Houseparty site. I signed up for the Chatterbox program on Houseparty.com and I was selected to read and review mystery books at no charge from the NetGalley site. I also started downloading and reading other books for free on the NetGalley site after learning about this program. As a teacher, I can find great books for my students, but it is not limited to that. I get to enjoy lots of different books and in return I just write a quick review and tell them what I thought of each book. There are tons of categories to choose from so there is something for everyone. Also Chatterbox keeps going each month and they send me a new book each month to read and review.

Since I love to read this is a perfect program for me. I just linked my kindle to the site and the free books are sent directly to my device. They support all different digital devices and they are available for help if you need it to download books.

The mysteries from Chatterbox are from Random House Mysteries.

The HouseParty site has tons of other Chatterbox and Houseparty giveaways too. You can apply to win a party pack or a chat pack with lots of different parties to choose from. I have been lucky enough to receive lots of party packs and chat packs over the last few years and this site is great if you are looking for fun products to try with your friends and family. They are all free, but you have to apply and complete some activities in order to be selected.

Free RoC Eye Cream and Night Cream from Crowdtap

These are the latest free product samples that I got to try thanks to Crowdtap.com. They sent two full size RoC products to me free just so I can share my opinion of these products.

The first product is: RoC Multi Correxion 5-in-1 Restoring Night Cream. This night cream works with Hexinol Technology by restoring your skin every night to leave skin looking and feeling younger and smoother. It can be used alone or with a moisturizer. I like the texture and feel of this cream and it has a nice fragrance as well. It does what it promises and leaves skin feeling and looking younger after a few treatments.

Second, I got to try RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream. It helps with wrinkles around the eye, puffiness and dark circles. I could see and feel a difference right away. With both products you only need a small amount for the product to be effective.

If you want to get free products like this one sent to you too, just sign up for Crowdtap. The crowdtap site sends lots of free products to sample and they also pay you with Amazon.com gift cards for completing all of the activities on their site. However, they just recently changed the award system. Now you have to do more activities before you earn enough points for the Amazon cards. So it is a little harder to earn money than it was before. So far I have earned $370 in gift cards and lots more in free products. All you have to do in return when the products are sent is: post a couple of photos and share your opinion of the products.

Free Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer from Crowdtap

My skin feels great thanks to Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer. I got to try this product free as part of a sampling mission from Crowdtap.com.

Before this sampling opportunity, I had never tried Jergens Wet Skin. This product has coconut oil and it is made to absorb into your skin when it is wet right after the shower. Then you towel dry without rinsing it off. I liked the way this moisturizer works and it does last all day if you use it after the shower. I noticed that if you don't pat dry with the towel it can leave skin feeling a little greasy. Also you don't need a large amount to see or feel results. A little goes a long way. This lotion does help with severe dry skin and the more you use it the better the results are. I also like the fresh tropical scent and it feels great on skin after a long day at the beach.

If you would like to get free products like this one too, just go sign up for Crowdtap and start participating in missions. Not only will you get the chance to try free products, you also will be able to earn Amazon.com gift cards for participating in all of the activities on this site. So far I have earned $370 plus lots of free products too! All you have to do in return is share your opinion of the product and take some pictures to share for the mission. It is super easy to do and I love seeing what I will get free in the mail next.

Free gift bag for teachers at Staples on August 17th 2016

DonorsChoose.com and Staples stores are teaming up to help teachers.

Staples Teacher Appreciation Day will take place in all Staples stores on August 17th. Every teacher can receive 10% off their purchase by showing their teacher ID; and the first 100 teachers at each store will receive a goody bag with free samples plus extra coupons. Teachers can also save on their back-to-school purchases with Staples by shopping the Less List for School, Weekly School Steals, and using Teacher Rewards.

Visit DonorsChoose.org to learn more. In the past I have gone to get a teacher's gift bag from Staples and one year it was just a flash drive. Another year it was a much larger bag stuffed with lots of school supplies. But I have not gone recently. I know you need to go early because they do run out if you wait to go to late in the day.

I also belong to the teacher rewards program from Staples.

When you sign up, you'll start earning up to 5% back in rewards, plus 10% back on teaching and art supplies.

Here is a link to sign up for the Teacher's Rewards Program: STAPLES

Also all teachers should sign up for DonorsChoose.org. Teachers can create projects that may get funded by individuals or large companies. I have had many projects funded for my art classes every year. It is worth the time to create a page and you can research the type of projects that get funding from local grants. Disney and Chevron have funded many of my art classes in the past. So go to Staples on Aug. 17th and then create a Donors Choose page to get lots of free supplies for your classroom.
