Freebies!!!!

I promised all of my fab friends that I'd give them a few tips on how to get stuff for free. I've spent a good amount of time surfing the web to find you the most amazing freebies, (luckily I knew of a few already!) So here's my top 5 freebies list!

***Note that you can only receive some of these freebies by signing up with your email, so I strongly suggest that you create a new email address just for these freebies because you will receive special offers and product information, (which can be extremely annoying, but also super beneficial because a lot of these companies will send you coupons to save money that you otherwise would miss out on!) In other words don't spam their mail!

Also if any site asks for personal information such as your social security number or a credit card-- just X out on the window!

Ok no more delays!

Here it is!

Godiva

Who doesn't love chocolate? I know I do! But a free piece of chocolate every month just for becoming part of their rewards program? Hello I'm all over it! Simply fill out this small registration form and voila, you're on your way to a free chocolate every month, while supplies last. The best thing about this program is that they also offer you three other offers!

Girls: you thought free chocolate was a sweet deal? How about I just found out a way to score you free make-up! No your eyes aren't playing tricks on you! It's true!

Sephora

This one's another rewards program (free of course just by signing up with your email!) On your birthday, Sephora will send you a little gift just because it's your special day! Aside from that when you join this membership for every dollar that you spent, you will earn a point. Once you've earned points in increments of a hundred or more, they will send you free gifts. The best thing about this program is not just the freebies, but the weekly offers you receive to buy things for 15 % off or more. Sephora rocks!

Gym Membership Trials

I'm always unhappy about my weight and spend a lot of time complaining about it and starving, but not enough time working out. Why? I don't really like gyms and I hate paying for something I know I will not use a lot! So I started going to gyms' websites, like: L.A. Fitness, Bally, Living Well Lady, Gold's Gym and Curves and started signing up for their 7-day passes. Now I can hit the gym, any gym and workout for free for about a good month!

***Note: a lot of these passes are valid for 7 days in a row and not whatever 7 days you like, so when you sign up make sure you make the most of it!

A FREE $1000 Ikea Gift Card

Sorry guys, but not everyone can get their hands on one of these but log on to to register for one of these little bad boys. Again not everyone will be able to get one but if you sign up NOW you can be qualified for one. : Put a huge smile on that special someone’s face by givingthem a $1K IKEA Gift Card.

Seriously who would not want $1000 worth of free stuff from Ikea?

We're down to the last one ladies and gents!

::drum rolls::

My last and fab freebie is none other than free music!!!!

Pandora

I don't really know where I had been living for the past year but I recently discovered Pandora and I am hooked!!! It's a free app on most mobile phones and you can customize stations by genre, artists or songs!!! Hours of free music of your choice? Does it get any better? You can also listen to your fave songs online by logging on to: http://www.pandora.com/#/

So what do you guys think?

I'm not done yet!!! I found this one site that shares all the places you can receive free food, entertainment and other cool stuff on your b-day and you can search by category and state!

Check out: http://www.freebirthdaytreats.com/default.aspx

Now, whoever said the best things in life are free, definitely didn't know the thrill of spending big bucks on hot items. Next week, I'll let you know which are the hottest must-have items of the season that are totally worth every dime!!!!!

TTFN!

Intro to Your Go-to-Gal

Hi Dolls and Guys!


My name is Yami and I live in Miami, Fl. I'm a recent graduate from FIU's School of Journalism-- journalism being my second passion. My first real love is anything and everything that has to do with being a woman. I'd say I'm an expert, since I do have 26 full years of experience.

I find that with the little bit of free time I do have, I mostly spend it either catching up on current events, but more so I research the latest trends in fashion and beauty.

A tad bit more 4-1-1- on me: I'm OBSESSED with shoes, and just about everything else-- fashion-related, but mostly shoes. I'm always criticized for not spending my money "wisely," but I'm just like Ms. Bradshaw, "I like my money right where I can see it.. hanging in my closet." And no I'm not trying to be a Carrie, though she is a fab icon (the real Carrie + the Carrie played by Bradshaw.) I'm only me and that's the only person I will ever be. So, the past year has been really rough for me in terms of finances and, I have had no other choice but to TRY and learn to become a frugalista, BTW after this first use of the F word, you will never hear me use it again. It's really annoying when people use that or recessionista (I swear it sends shivers down my spine and it's the bad kind.) Guys, I said TRY! I've had some success and some failures, but that's just one of the reasons I decided to start this blog.

I want to be your go-to-gal for anything, whether it's fashion, beauty, love, traveling or anything else you can think of. I will not focus on just high-end merchandise or "frugal finds," but I will share all my knowledge with you as I learn it. So please follow me and tell your friends to follow me too. I promise you won't regret it!

The "Go-to-Gal" idea was first brewed about a year ago, but school, work and interning aka (slaving for free) kept me from acting on it any sooner, but like I said I'm a graduate now, so no more excuses! I follow a few girls who do the same thing I'm trying to do, and realized none of them are from Miami. So why not be the go-to-gal from one of the hottest cities in the world?

Make sure to visit me tomorrow for my first official blog.

Hint: IT's a few tips on how to indulge a bit without paying a dime!

 

XOXO,
Your GTG
