I'm a Winner!

Back in October, I read an article on Yahoo about getting free samples.  It seemed like it would be fun to try the latest products, so I decided to give it a shot.  I began searching for free sample offers on the internet through Google, and in the process, I also found many sweepstakes and giveaways mentioned on the free sample websites.  Apparently, "sweeping" or entering sweepstakes is a hobby for some people.  I never heard of such a thing!  I decided it would be cool to win stuff, so I got into the habit of entering at least a few sweepstakes daily.  My little habit is starting to pay off.  Over the past month I got emails telling me I had won 4 different small sweepstakes!  This past week, 3 of the 4 prizes I've won arrived in the mail.

         

I won this Milani lipstick from their "30 Shades in 30 Days" giveaway on their Facebook page.  It is still going on if you are interested in entering.

I got these 2 full-sized Vaseline products from a She Finds giveaway.

I got 3 Packs of Recharge Bars from a sweepstakes on their Facebook page.  My sister and I tried 2 of the flavors today, and they are actually very good.  They only have 100 calories, but they taste something like a candy bar.

I still have a Dove bodywash prize pack on the way.  

Before this, I pretty much never won anything in my life!  Even though I haven't won a big $100,000 cash sweepstakes yet, getting these little prizes in the mail was really fun and exciting.  I will definitely keep entering sweepstakes and giveaways!
