So...today I just received my first payment from the website Inbox Dollars. Inbox dollars is a site that pays you to read e-mails, take surveys, use coupons, complete offers, etc. Out of all the ways I've tried to make a little spending cash for myself, I am a stay at home mom (and we all know how that job pays), this one is the best. You receive .02 for each read e-mail, a lot of e-mails I know, various compensation for completing offers, etc. Easiest is the e-mails, my favorite however is the coupons. It does take some time (about 3 months) for the credit to be applied to your account, but at .10 a coupon, how can you lose? You get money for saving money! It took me about a year to earn $30, but again, I was mostly using the e-mails as my main source. I do plan on using a lot more of the coupons though so hopefully that will boost my earning time! You have to have $30 to request payment, and they take about $3 for processing fees. However if you want to wait til you have $40 they waive the fees. I'm an instant gratification kinda gal so as soon as I hit $30 I requested payment. It was also extremely easy to activate my card and start using it. It's also reloadable, so that means QUICKER payment from InboxDollars. The only thing you really have to lose is a bit of time. And as someone who has tried just about every paid survey site, Toluna is horrible btw don't waste your time, this one really is the easiest, and my favorite. Feel free to use my referral link if you'd like. I'm pretty sure I get something if you do, like account credits, but I'm not totally sure. Or you can just google Inbox Dollars if you don't feel inclined to use my link. But I do recommend this site if you have some spare time and want to make some spare cash.
I'd also like to reiterate, it's completely free to join and there are so many ways to make money...just give it whirl...if you're disappointed you can yell at me in the comments below :) Also, what are some of your favorite ways to make extra income from home? Share in the comments and thanks for reading!

October 2014 Beauty Box 5
How happy was I when a quick trip to my mailbox revealed October's BeautyBox5 sitting inside! Considering I hadn't been able to find a single spoiler online I had prepared myself for a much later delivery. But I have to say out of all the subs I've tried, including Birchbox and Ipsy...BB5 always seems to ship pretty promptly for me. It's a monthly sub that starts at $12 monthly, $30 quarterly, or $99 yearly (a savings of $45). Here's my referral link if your interested in checking them out:

Now on to the goodies! The theme is effortless allure...as a stay at home mommy I'm all about effortless allure! Although sometimes the allure part may be slightly lacking...but I'm sure other sahms can understand this.
First up in my box was Chapstick Hydration Lock with a retail value of $2.99. It's a dual ended, day-night chapstick (I didn't even know I needed this) with sunscreen for day and a replenishing overnight side with tamanu oil, natural butters and antioxidents. We're in full blown fall here which means chapped lips in my case thanks to turning on the heat and the dry air outside. While this may not be the most wow worthy item in the box it will be used, probably by the whole family. And it's also not something I would have thought to purchase for myself. Also including a .50 cent coupon which will be used if we love it or passed along to someone else.
Next up was Bellapierre Cosmetics Cheek and Lip Stain in Pink with a retail value of $19.99! Full sized, so that made my box right there. It's a super blendable, creamy pink. As a fair skinned lovely I'm always a bit apprehensive about creamy blushes, but this one blended so perfectly into my skin leaving just the softest wash of dewy pink. As my first Bellapierre item I can safely say I think I'll be trying more!
On the right the color is blended and you can see how natural it looks.
On my lips on top of the chapstick:
The third item in my box was something I had been curious about yet not quite worked up to purchasing myself. It was Extend Your Beauty Cosmetic Tool with a value of $5.49. I'm a frugal mama and I will cut tubes into a million pieces to get all the product out...it's usually a really messy process so this little rewashable spatula is going to be super handy and as its the first tool I've received from any sub I'm super stoked to add this to my beauty bag!
The fourth item, and something I'm always excited to see in a sub (I don't have a problem, I swear) was a nail polish. This was Nanacoco's Nail Polish in Ocean Breeze. A beautiful azure blue. I'm a huge blue/teal girl and this color was spot on gorgeous for me. A rich, mermaid style hue that will get many wears from this girl! The formula went on smoothly, a bit sheer at one coat, perfection at two I might also add I usually (ok always) skip a top coat. So the real test for me is how long a polish can take a beating in my house. So far, so good!
Swatched on my pinkie
And Last, Lashem's Picture Perfect Instant Wrinkle Reducer valued at $3.95. This year I turned thirty and wrinkles have been on my mind a little more lately. This serum is said to reduce fine lines when applied after cleansing so I'll be more than happy to give this a try in my beauty routine. Also, if you're not worried about fine lines this serum can double as a face primer. Serum and primer, two things I'm currently loving, in one product?! Yes, please! This product also blended easily into my skin, didn't leave a greasy after wash, and the scent was so light I couldn't even smell it. All a big plus in my book!
So for me this month's box was a hit...it usually is, but I guess I'm easy to please. I paid $12 for the box and it carried a value of $36.37. Considering how excited I am about all of the above, I'd consider this a steal. Overall I'm satisfied, and if you want to try out your own beauty box feel free to follow my referral link http://www.beautybox5.com/?u=14318 or just google BB5. For the dabbler in beauty products, to the slightly curious, just starting out, I highly recommend this box. But don't take my word for it, try it for yourself and form your own opinion! Thanks for reading and happy fall to all!
