NO JOKE Zulily Rocks with Credits to Shop for Free

I joined the Zulily Fan Club over 5 years ago!

Best Decision I have made!

Time for a GIVEAWAY!
if you like WINNING your in the right place.  Scroll through this Blog post for the Prizes and HOW to enter to win!  
5 WINNERS!

I have had the privilege to watch them grow as my new business grew.

You assume these referral programs are scams but this one is not. 

In fact over the 5 years I have personally earned Roughly $4500.00 in credits 

that I have spent on Lots of Stylish Clothes for my girls and self.

They have an awesome Selection of Plus Size clothing at awesome prices.  I'm not even joking.  I hate clothes shopping because usually everything in a 2x or 3x looks like it came from a Hawaiian Grandma's Closet.  I actually get compliments on the tops I have gotten.  You can get Trendy flattering looks at great prices and if you have earned CREDITS you could get clothes FREE!   Here are some of the great PLUS SIZE items I have bought!

Most of my daughters shoes have come from Zulily.

I have religiously kept their foot measurements on hand and used the size charts on each pair to ensure we get a good fit.  Only a few times they have not fit and most times they were big which meant they could wear later as they grow.

The Absolute Find of the Year-  Three Little Pigs Dress (Her all time favorite)

Sydney is quite known for her High Heels in Kindergarten thru 2nd grade.

Those Heels are famous!  And I got them FREE from Zulily

You can see every person (or their email) that signs up with your link.  The Credit goes into your account as soon as their first order SHIPS!   Sometimes shipping is 2 to 3 weeks but well worth it.
I live in a Small town in Western Kentucky.  We have no big name brand stores like Macy's, Target, etc so finding clothes that are unique and affordable is impossible here unless you shop online.
Sometime the prices are not necessarily a good deal - BUT if you have credits and its something you need GREAT!
I simply google the item to see what it usually goes for to compare prices.
Many times they have Designer Name Brands like Jessica Simpson, Andrew Marc, Etienne Aigner and many more.
We LOVE Jelly The Pug

When looking into your Invites and Credits section you can See those who signed up-  It will give you the option to
NUDGE once a week to remind them about Zulily by email.  

Those who haven't responded you can send a reminder.

It will also show you those who have purchased so you know when the order ships your credit will be yours to spend.

The site has grown and added so much.  You can shop new items literally everyday.
Another great reason I LOVE TO SHOP ZULILY is their A+ customer service.
If it takes excessively too long to get to you- Contact them
If it doesn't fit- Contact them
If it is broken- Contact them
If you get the wrong item- Contact them
Most times they will work to fix or credit you- BUT PLEASE don't take advantage.
Only use this option when necessary.  Nice Companies get abused by Freebie Hogs and the rest of us pay.
Here are some great photos of just some of the SHOES, OUTFITS, TOYS, COATS, etc   my girls have enjoyed over the years thanks to Zulily Credits!
Now SIGN UP so you can start referring and earning-  There is no limit!
Don't have children?  They have awesome Home Decor, Kitchen items, Men's items, and so much more!

Friday Feature

The Couture Candy Store

This past week I purchased an item from The Couture Candy Store    and I couldn't have been happier with my purchase!  If you're looking for quality jewelry, at reasonable prices then this is the place to shop!  Plus, the customer service is fantastic, I received my item so quickly!  

Now, after browsing through more photos, I know I will be back to purchase more!  There are 2 special little girls in my life who would LOVE these softball bracelets!

 I recently  had the chance to chat with Natasha, the owner of The Couture Candy Store ...

 When did you open your shop?

I opened my shop November 2011.

 What motivated you to start?

 I was motivated to open a shop because I love jewelry and felt I was over paying for the pieces I wanted. It started with making pieces for myself, then my friends and took off from there.

 I have to say, the prices in The Couture Candy Store really are so reasonable!

Are your items handmade?

 Most of my items are handmade but I have several pieces that are not handmade. - I mainly make bracelets.

Where/how/when did you learn your craft?

 I'm self taught. I've always been very crafty. I also look online for tips from people have been doing it a lot longer. 

What is your favorite part about what you do? 

My favorite part is when I get to make custom orders. I love making things special for just that person. I also love that people now ask me how they should wear their jewelry!

Least favorite?
My least favorite part is stepping on beads! They always roll on to the floor and I always step on one! 

Ha!  I can relate.  Except in this house it's Legos!

What inspires you?  I'm inspired by the latest trends. I also try to stay up to date with them and provide the best pieces to my customers at reasonable prices.

 

Your favorite item from your shop is ... 

I like all my items! I really can't pick a favorite.

What do you like to do when you're not crafting? 

When I'm not crafting I'm with my family. I have a 8 year old daughter and a husband that I just love spending time with. 

And just for fun ...
If you could have lunch with any 3 people (alive or dead, famous or not), who would they be and why?

My mom: She died when I was 18 and I miss her dearly and have so many things to tell her.
Marilyn Monroe: just because I love her
Brad Pitt: No need to explain

I really just cannot say enough about my shopping experience at The Couture Candy Store.     If you're looking for beautiful, quality pieces at the most reasonable prices, then this is the shop for you!  And as an added bonus, you'll receive lightning fast service.  I cannot wait to go back to order more!  

Check out The Couture Candy Store    and  like them on Facebook! They are sure to become your favorite jewelry shop as well!  You can also email Natasha directly at thecouturecandystore@yahoo.com.  Don't forget, she does custom orders!

Be sure to come back on Monday when we will announce the details for another giveaway!  The Couture Candy Store is sponsoring this one and one lucky winner will win this fabulous set!

Why are FB Boutiques Giving their Items Away?

If your in the Boutique Circle on Facebook, Surely you have bumped into a Giveaway that you think is "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE".
Well the good news is They are REALLY Giving this Great stuff away!
Facebook doesnt like it so most have had to find ways around it.
If you look at your favorite boutique page you might see a Giveaway tab on the Left side of their page. 
What are you waiting for ENTER  these.
You will find FREE bows, tutus, applique' shirts, dresses, bath products, diet products, books, leg warmers, etc.... anything a MOM would love to get FREE.

So WHY ARE THEY GIVING THIS GREAT STUFF AWAY? 
To get New customers.
Its a way to get you to their page and see all the great products they make or offer.  Without a giveaway you might have never found the page or stopped by to "LIKE" it. 
Yes, it is a loss for the cost of the product and labor put into making it, but these Crafty Moms hope the reward is Great!
The downside is sometimes you get a page full of fans who will never actually purchase anything.  They will only stalk around to find the next "FREEBIE" opportunity. 
This is NOT what we Crafty Moms want.  We want to give our products to the next "POTENTIAL" customer.
Have you shopped on facebook yet?
If not tell us why.
Did you know its like any other Online Purchase.
You just pay with your paypal accout (which most everyone has and use for ebay) or pay with debit or credit card.  Some Crafty Moms will accept Check or Money orders but will not start a custom order or ship till those clear.
At Crafty Moms'R'us are having a 1 Year Anniversery Giveaway.
We use an outside (of facebook) registration process.  You fill out a registration leaving info so that you can be contacted if you win.  Then you are required to be a fan of the Sponsor page.
This allows all the Sponsors to network each others fans. 
Most of the sponsors are in completely different areas of the US and some are from Canada.
You will see items and pages you would never have noticed if not for a Networking/Promoting page like Crafty Moms'R'us and the Giveway.  We know FREE always gets a little notice.
Here are a few of the items we are giving away FREE:
