FAB Daily Deal Site

Fab is one of my favorite daily sites because they are more than just a regular daily site.

They have a superb selection of items, which are carefully selected.

While their products do not have the steep discount of other sites, they are items that I wouldn't have found on my own.

I like to save money whenever possible, but that does not mean I wont purchase an item I really like at regular price.

Fab is everyday design. People use Fab to discover everyday design products at great prices, to connect with the world's most exciting designers, and to share their favorite design inspirations.

Here is the background on FAB from their press kit:


Core Beliefs

A monthly makeup box club: MyGlam.com: 4-5 full sized products for $10 a month



A monthly makeup box club: MyGlam.com. Unlike the other monthly makeup subscription clubs that offer just travel sized products, MyGlam ships out 4-5 full sized products for $10 a month.

BirchBox.com: A monthly makeup box club

The new trend of monthly makeup subscription boxes began just last year with the startup BirchBox.
birchbox
BirchBox.com was founded by Hayley Barna and Katia Beauchamp, two Harvard Business School graduates who wanted to both provide a way for companies to see just how effective samples were and to provide women (and men too) with a way to find cosmetics and other beauty products that work for them.
How BirchBox works: 
BirchBox works on a subscription based model for $10 a month.
 BirchBox ships out small brown cardboard boxes to customers that are filled with 4-5 “deluxe” sized samples from popular cosmetics and beauty brands.
For $10 a month it’s worth it to join just to get a cute surprise in your mailbox each month. BirchBox also sells all of the full sized products and each month the featured products are shipped free if you decide to make a purchase.
In case you want to join BirchBox, here’s you invite to BirchBox.

This was my lovely Freebie:

One Kings Lane- Daily Site- Review


One Kings Lane

One Kings Lane showcases designer home furnishings at up to 70% off the retail value!
how it works:
1. You must sign up for a membership on the site (it’s free).
2. Most sales launch at 8pm (EST) and last about 3 days.
3. There are usually 3 types of sales going on the site:
  • Daily Sale: High end brands and products are featured in several categories: home decor, gifts, stationary and more!
  • Downstairs: This is where you are going to find merchandise discounted so deeply OKL keeps them in the “basement” 
  • Tastemaker Tag Sale: the items in this sale are all unique, one of kind, and handpicked by an industry insider   from their own collection. 
The OKL blog: Live. Love. Home. features posts about trends in home decor, entertaining and design, highlights industry taste-makers.  
The App:  The OKL app allows you preview, view and shop sales right from your Phone.
If you are a home decorator and/or entertaining junkie like me, membership to OKL is a most!

SWAGBUCKS- Earn Cash


Recently I had someone ask me what Swagbucks was and how it works. This was the moment that I realized that I had not explained the program properly.  Swagbucks is an awesome program that allows people to earn virtual money (Swagbucks) that can be used in theSwagbucks Store. I use my Swagbucks cash to purchase gift cards. I use these these gift cards to purchase gifts for my children at Christmas time. Don’t feel you have to use your virtual cash on gift cards. You can use your virtual money to purchase backpacks for back to school, XBox 360s, kitchen essentials, jewelry, apparel, and so much more.
One really great option for spending your Swagbucks is donating to a charity. I absolutely love the fact that Swagbucks will let you donate your Swagbucks to The Lupus Foundaton of AmericaSwagbucks provides you with an online converted chart to show you what yourSwagbucks convert to in respect to a cash donation. Yes, this IS tax deductible! Swagbucks truly thought of everything!
So, how do you earn Swagbucks?
  • Search directly on the Swagbucks website
  • Search using the downloadable Swagbucks toolbar
  • Use the Widget
  • Get codes from the Swagbucks Facebook page
  • Watch Video
  • Participate in  Special Offers
  • Answer Surveys
  • Play Games
  • Trade-Ins
  • Shopping
  • Using Froobi.com rebates
  • Print coupons
Swagbucks is constantly thinking of more ways to help you earn Swagbucks. They give away codes daily, several times a day. Swagbuckskeeps the fun going by having code hunts and allowing their members to stock up on those Swagbucks. Earning Swagbucks is great for Bloggers because you can give your readers Swagbucks as incentives for continuing to be loyal readers.
When you sign up for Swagbucks you are automatically placed in the referral program. If someone signs up using your referral link, you will earn Swagbucks when they earn Swagbucks. It really pays to have people to sign up using your referral link. Referrals are the easiest ways to earn tons of Swagbucks!
