What is Swagbucks?
Swagbucks is a search engine that awards you in the form of Swagbucks (points that can be traded in for prizes.) You can chose from a variety of prizes including gift cards. My favorite is a $5 Amazon.com gift card. It costs 45 Swagbucks. You get 3 Swagbucks for joining and can win anywhere from 2 - 5 a day if you search until you win in the morning and in the evening. I usually win within my first 5 searches. They also have Swagcodes out at least 5 times a week that can be worth 1 - 3 Swagbucks.

If you don't always do your searches through SwagBucks, you'll want to make sure you do today! It's "Mega SwagBucks Day!" You could win anywhere from 5-500 SwagBucks today! And remember, it only takes 45 to get a $5 Amazon Giftcard! Good Luck! And if you haven't joined yet, you can do so HERE.

Blog Hop: Fashion Tips

Kelly over at Kelly's Korner is having a blog hop on fashion tips this week, so I decided I would post some cheap and reasonable fashion tips.

1. Buy Stuff at the end of each season for next year. (For example: A lot of stores are having great sales on winter items now, go ahead and stock up for next year)

Here are a few sites that are having some great sales right now:

Newport News

Old Navy

Gap

2. Accessories make an outfit! Buy jewelry and other accessories at Forever 21, Charlotte Russe and Charming Charlies. Both places are very reasonable and are perfect for everyday outfits.

3. Don't spend alot of money on trendy items. Most of the time, they will not be the big trend the following year, so why waste all your money on that item. For these items, try the stores above or TJ Max or Ross. You can find some great looks for alot less expensive at these stores.

4. Spend money on the items you will wear from year to year (Blue Jeans, Black Pants, Black Dress Shes, Etc.) You will definitely get your monies worth out of those items.
