$50 worth of beauty products for $2.99

If you follow any deal bloggers, you've probably seen this Julep deal blowing up everywhere. Seriously, everyone is raving about it. You can find Julep products at Sephora.

Simply click here to take the quiz which will lead you to the free, high quality products. I just did it and will get two $14 gel-like nail polishes and a $24 Glow Pore Minimizing Blush for the cost of $2.99 shipping.

Mine automatically rang up free in the cart, but just in case yours doesn't, use code FREECOLOR or FREEBOX.

This automatically enrolls you in their monthly Maven subscription program where you get a box of goodies (similar to Birchbox). If you don't want to automatically be charged for the monthly subscription be sure to cancel it hassle free by June 24 by calling 877-651-3292 and pressing 4. I plan to get my goodies and then cancel. Mwahaha....

These are the different freebies you could get.

Spray painting outdoor cushions

Outdoor cushions are soooo expensive! The weather had taken it's toll on my brown ones. Plus, I tried washing the covers in the washing machine and it made them even more faded and left white lines on them. Grrrr....

Free Father's Day card

Cherishables is offering a completely free, custom Father's Day card through June 1. You'll need to use promo code DAD14C when you check out. Shipping is free too! Plan ahead so you're not scrambling for a gift and card last minute.

FYI - I've been trying to create one the past couple days and the site keeps freezing on me. Maybe I have a slow computer, but I think the site is overloaded. Hopefully it will work for you though.

UPDATE: Their webpage now says "We're Sorry! Our site has been experiencing a slow down during our Free Father's Day Offer. Thank You for your patience."

Memorial Day weekend recap

What a nice, long, relaxing weekend. Thank you to all of our service members past and present. It wasn't really feeling like Memorial Day until we attended a service at the Adams, NE cemetery. They brought in almost a dozen WWII vets, the founders of Patriotic Productions, and a horse with a riderless saddle as a tribute. I wish I would have gotten better pictures.

I spent most of the weekend cutting fresh flowers and arranging them. Every nook and cranny of our house has a bouquet - mostly peonies right now.

Happy Memorial Day weekend

Woohoo... it's almost Memorial Day weekend!!! Check out the following festive ideas from the dream book design blog.

Fun fact: Yesterday I had readers from the usual countries like the U.S., China, and Canada, but also new readers from Romania, Columbia, New Zealand, Trinidad and Tobago. Welcome!

Hope you all have time to grill out, catch some rays, and work on home projects during this long weekend. I will be doing all of that and attending a wedding. Special shout out to Tim and Stacie. I'm ready to celebrate with you!

Free paint day at Eco Store

Saturday, May 17 was Eco Store's Free Paint Day and I completely failed to let you know. Sorry! They do this event twice a year. The good news is there is still plenty of free paint that you can pick up through this weekend (Memorial Day Weekend). I believe they're closed on Monday though.

Drive to the back and you'll see this:

Only grab paint from the front six pallets. The paint in the back is bad.

$1.98 wine at Super Saver

My post on the free Hy-Vee wine was super popular so I thought I'd share another wine deal. Super Saver has Woodbridge Wine for $1.98 if you purchase 12 bottles and send in the $21 mail-in rebate. All Woodbridge Wines are eligible so whether you prefer sweet or dry, you're covered.
