back to school 2015 :: the best and worst professors I've had & a ratemyprofessor.com review

When I was in high school, every "college" movie I watched seemed to make the professors out to be horrible (Legally Blonde, anyone?) or extremely strict. My high school was always very relaxed, so the idea that I'd have to suffer for four years scared me. Thankfully I've been lucky to have a lot of amazing professors so far. Granted, I've only been in school for four semesters, but that's long enough for people to make lasting impressions.

back to school 2015 :: book bag reviews + what's in my bag!

So for the month of August I'll be participating in a Back To School linkup with http://thecalicocatblog.com/ and many other fantastic bloggers! I hope you're all ready to get your back to school hype on because I have been for like... three months now.

For me, classes start in a little over 5 weeks. Every year before this I was dreading school starting, but I'm really anxious for this semester. Maybe I've spent too much time in the studyspo tags on tumblr? Whatever caused my change of heart, I'm perfectly content with it. And so today's post will be two book bag reviews and a 'what's in my bag' / school supplies haul, because I don't plan on keeping all of this stuff in my bag.

trade your reviews for discounted products II :: allstar reviewers •

In the short time I've had this blog, I think I've made it abundantly clear that I love free (or very, very cheap) things. My very first blog post was about Amazon Review Trader, a place to get free or deeply discounted items in exchange for an honest review on Amazon. Since then I've tried similar sites. I've had some hits and misses - mostly misses - but I finally found a great one and I'm so excited to share it with you guys!

youphoria yoga mat :: amazon review

I talked about amzreviewtrader previously (see the post here) and since then I have gotten a few more items and have more arriving by next week. I'm going to be reviewing some of the items I've bought because I think it lends credibility to the site, which is something all sites should have!

Most of the items I bought I chose "no rush shipping" so I could get a free $1 credit for them, but I chose two day shipping for this yoga mat because of how excited I was to get it! The color options are black, green, blue, and pink and the original price is $35. I was able to buy it for $3.99, which is a good price for a yoga mat of any quality, honestly.

trade your reviews for discounted products!

Do you want discounted products in exchange for Amazon reviews? Heck yeah you do!

Despite this intro sounding like a bad scam email, the website I'm about to talk about is actually real and trustworthy!

amzreviewtrader.com is a place where companies put their products up at discounted prices and all they ask in return is for the reviewer (that's us!) to give them an honest review.

How do I know it works? I've used it, of course. It is best to use it in conjunction with Amazon Prime so you can score free shipping, though.

So what have I gotten so far? A few great items.

• Foxbrim Dead Sea Mud Mask for 1.00

• Foxbrim 'Youthful Radiance' Eye Cream for 1.00

• 'Curve' headphones by Sentey for 1.99

• Hair Growth Vitamins (5000 MCG Biotin) for .10 cents 

                           Singing up is 100% free (don't trust those sites that make you pay.
                             You should never have to pay to have access to a site like this!)
                             and really simple. Just go to amzreviewtrader.com to get started.

Thanks for reading!
