In order to be eligible for this giveaway you HAVE to sign up through the above link. That is how Ebates is choosing the winner! If you have signed up through me in the past then you do not need to sign up again HOWEVER if you already have an Ebates account not through me unfortunately you will need to sign up for another account >_< I know it's a pain in the bootayyyy but it's the only way they can keep track of all the entries. 

- I will announce the winners in a blog post here as well as on Facebook.

- You have until the end of the month to enter! 
(September 30th, 2014)

- Ebates will be in charge of choosing a winner as well as issuing the prize. 

I am so happy to be doing this giveaway for you guys! As you know I am a HUGE Ebates supporter! I have been a user since 2007 (before I even had my YouTube account!) and I think it is THE BEST service to use for online shoppers! 

How Ebates works: 

Basically if you are planning to shop online go to Ebates first and see if the store you are looking to shop at is an Ebates participant. There are an INSANE amount of stores that have teamed up with them so it's worth just doing a quick search on the site!

Once you find the store you were looking for (Nordstrom, Sephora, Neiman Marcus, Macy's, Kohl's, Amazon, etc.) you will see how much cash back is offered as well as any promos or coupon codes available on the site :) 

Click SHOP NOW and you will be redirected to the store's official website. From there, just shop as you normally would. (Every time you click to go to a store through Ebates they will show you a tracking ticket number, that gets saved to your account as a log of the stores you've shopped at/browsed so you can receive credit!)

THAT'S IT! 

You will earn whatever the cash back percent offered is on your purchased (pre-tax)! 

Ebates sends you a "BIG FAT CHECK" at the end of the earning period - so about every 3 months, which is nice because it gives you some time to accumulate earnings : ) 

Or you can choose to receive payment right to your PayPal account!

I have used this service for many years and I can tell you it is 100% legitimate! I have gotten THOUSANDS of dollars back on my purchases since I joined. 

(given of course you earn based upon what you spend! #shopaholic)

If you ever have any questions or issues always feel free to ask me and I will be more than willing to help in any way that I can. This is a site that I love and believe in so I am happy to be of assistance : ) 

(I literally would work there if I could! LOLL) 

Their customer service is also wonderful at answering and fixing any issues you may come across and there is even a section for you to file yourself if for some reason a purchase falls through the cracks. It happens sometimes especially if you are saving your shopping cart for too long. It's simple enough, just go to the tracking ticket area and file a claim - they usually credit your account within a couple of hours or less. 

I will also attach a video I've done in the past for those of you not interested in reading hahaha. (Start at 3:00 for specific Ebates info)

I decided to kick it off with kind of a throwback : ) an updated version of one of my favorite looks from when I first started my YouTube channel/Blog. 

Enjoy!  

Also I usually will update my video player with my latest video so you can always check there : ) 

Thank you so much for all of your support.

[Lifestyle/VIDEO] WE VLOG #01: Battle of the Year Screening & Justin Bieber Dancers

So if you haven't seen, Steve and I have posted our first vlog!!! 

It's always so highly requested I figured we might as well give it a go. Normally I shy away from vlogging not only because I am pretty private person but because I honestly feel like I am just not good at it. I feel like my life isn't all that interesting most days and when we do have things going on I'm definitely more of a "let's experience" vs. a "let's document" type of person. 

I tried none the less and this is the result. I actually am pretty happy with the way it turned out and I've been getting so much positive feedback I would for sure consider making these Vlogs a reoccurring thing on my channel. Steve and I talked about maybe once a week we would choose a day and vlog it. We are not interested in daily vlogging or anything like that, for a multitude of reasons, but once a week may be manageable. 

Watch the Video HERE:

 

Hope you all enjoy!!!

Talk to you soon :)

Love,

Holly
