The Coupon Mom Show




I have been asked to share with my readers about the new Coupon Mom Show. If you haven't heard of "The Coupon Mom", AKA Stephanie Nelson, she is a mom who has appeared on numerous television shows (The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, and others) to share her tips for saving money when shopping. She also has a helpful website, http://www.couponmom.com/ where you can get lots of tips, some of her eBooks for free, and sign up for her newsletter where she'll keep you updated with the latest store deals, coupons, and freebies.

The Coupon Mom Show teaches you how to save money by watching Stephanie Nelson work with real families to solve their savings problems in a fun and entertaining way. In each episode, Coupon Mom addresses different financial challenges, from families that want to slash their grocery bills to those hoping to save on holiday meals, birthday parties or even school supplies and provides saving solutions for them. You, my readers, can even visit the Coupon Mom Show page to post your own challenges for Stephanie. Just go to the "Forum" tab on the lefthand side.

New episodes of the Coupon Mom Show will be airing every Thursday on YouTube and on the Coupon Mom Show website

Here is the Coupon Mom Show's video promo so you can see what to expect on the show:

Fairfield Research

Here is another survey panel to join. Fairfield Research states:

"Your opinions are of tremendous value to us and to our survey clients. We are inviting you and your household to become part of our exclusive Consumer Research Panel. As a panel member, you, or other family members, will be asked to share your opinions several times a year through surveys and possible panel discussions. Each time you complete a survey you have a chance to win prizes in our monthly drawings.

For filling out this profile and joining the panel you will be entered into a drawing for the following prizes:

Gift certificates from Best Buy, The Gap, Eddie Bauer, and Land’s End

Computer games

I am not sure how long I've been a member of this panel, but I just took a couple of surveys by them. I don't think they send out invitations very often, but that might just be for me!

PineCone Research is Accepting New Panelists

This doesn't happen often, but one of the best survey companies, PineCone Research, is accepting new panelists. PR pays $3 (via Paypal) for EVERY product survey you complete, plus sometimes sends out products for panelists to try. I've been a member with them for quite some time, and I just want to say, if you join, make sure to watch your inbox & participate in EVERY survey sent to you, as I've heard of them dropping members who don't respond to their survey invitations.

Here is the link to sign up!

L'Oréal® Paris Lash Boosting Serum/Mascara (Product Review)

I am a Bzz Agent & had the pleasure of participating in the Bzz Campaign for L'Oréal® Paris Lash Boosting Serum & Mascara. This special combination of products is designed to actually make your lashes grow! YESSS!!! I was so excited about this, as my lashes have thinned out & lost length over the years.

I was sent the L-Oreal Paris Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum, which you apply in the morning underneath your mascara & on bare lashes at night. Lashes are supposed to appear thicker & multiplied in just 4 weeks with less lash fall-out when removing make up. I was also sent the L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Lash Boosting Mascara, which has a serum-enriched Lash Boosting Primer on one end & an ultra-lengthening mascara topcoat on the other end. This is supposed to build longer, thicker, fuller lashes when you apply it. First you apply the Lash Boosting Primer to prep lashes & boost their condition, then apply the Ultra-Lengthening Mascara topcoat for 80% longer lashes instantly.

So........did it work? I am happy to say...yes! I am not paid to review this product, and as with all my reviews, I give my honest opinion (plus that's part of being a Bzzz Agent). I did miss a few days within the 4 week period, but I have noticed my lashes are longer, have more fullness, and I do have less lashes falling out, all confirming L'Oreal's claims. So way to go, L'Oreal! The mascara is also a great mascara, one of the best I've ever tried. I would post pictures but our digital camera is on the fritz. If I can get it back in working order, I will add in pictures later.

You can buy the products separately or together in a value package. The value package includes both products for $24.95. Separately, the Lash Boosting Serum is $14.95 & the Double Extend Lash Boosting Mascara is $12.95.

More information:
  • Ophthalmologist- and allergy-tested, and safe for sensitive eyes & contact lens wearers
  • Available in the L'Oreal Paris cosmetics section in major retailers such as Walmart, Target, CVS & Walgreens
  • Visit www.lorealparisusa.com to learn more

Also, please give me your feedback & let me know if YOU have used this product & what you think about it!

Become a ChaCha Guide~Earn Money at Home

Have you heard of ChaCha? ChaCha is a service that mobile phone users can use to text or call in a question (any question!) and have it answered by a ChaCha guide in a text message sent to the inquirer's cell phone. ChaCha is free to use, but they pay their "guides" for each question answered. I am not a ChaCha guide, but I'm an expeditor & I pick up some extra cash whenever I log in. What I love about ChaCha is that I can do it whenever I want, for as long as I want, whether it be for just 1 minute or a couple of hours (ha! that never happens with this busy momma). As an expeditor, I don't actually search for answers & send them to customers, I correct spelling, grammar, put questions in readable form (yeah, sometimes they are quite confusing), "categorize" the questions that need to be sent on to guides, and send customers quick answers when they are available for their particular question. It can actually be quite fun!

Right now, ChaCha is asking us to ask our friends who are interested in working with ChaCha to sign up. You will receive some training information online and then will be required to take an assessment to see if you would make a good guide. There is no cost to become a ChaCha guide. If this sounds like something you would like to do, please go to http://becomeaguide.chacha.com/
Very important: You will need to enter in my email address when prompted during the sign up process to let ChaCha know I sent you! It is qysova @ yahoo dot com (remove spaces & put in email format).

My personal warning: ChaCha users ask ALL kinds of questions, and I mean ALL, and you will be required to answer them ALL if you become a guide (unless they are abusive which you will learn more about if you become a guide). So this might not be for everyone!
