Update September 10, 2024: I have been behind on updating my blogs for giveaways but since 2020 when I first put this blog together, I've had some huge wins! In January 2023, I received two $2,000 Visa gift cards (one for me, one for Kevin) and in June 2024, I won my biggest giveaway to date - a check for $12,000! I couldn't believe it! There are several things that I have learned over the past 10-12 years of entering giveaways - 1. Consistency is key - I enter giveaways daily. Who knew that a giveaway that I entered a few months ago could impact me so much today? 2. Slow down - By this, I mean when you enter on Instagram, be sure to not tag and enter too quickly or Instagram will see you as a bot and pause/stop your account (this has happened several times to me with the most I've been banned was one week) 3. Once you get your first win, you won't want to stop! Don't give up, it takes time, and once you get that first win, you will hopefully see that it's wor

Freebies and Giveaways I won in 2020

Before I put together this blog of 2020 freebies and giveaways I won, I had no idea that I have been entering giveaways since 2014. And I have no reason to stop now. I have won a lot over the years, a lot of big things, and I also use is as a "side job" sometimes to win things and sell them for extra money or give as gifts. Either way, I'm looking forward to 2020. Below is a list of the blogs that I have made every year up to this point and I what I won during that year. If you would like to be tagged or notified of giveaways that I enter, just comment below and I'll start tagging you! - Freebies and giveaway wins 2014 - Freebies 2015 - Freebies 2016 - Freebies 2017 - Freebies 2018 - Freebies 2019 Here is what I have won in 2020: - $100 Gymboree Gift Card (won in 2019, received in 2020) - $50 Paypal (received) - $600 Nordstrom gift card (!!!) - $15 Amazon gift card - $50 Doordash Gift card - 8 reusable produce bags - A Mother knot necklace -BBQ Swag

**Update: Congratulations to the winner - Ashley Sammons! **Update: I am extending out this contest through December 6th, 2019. Winner will be drawn and announced on December 7th, 2019. I have been slacking hardcore with this blog but I promised once I hit 100,000 followers, I will be running a giveaway. When I started this blog in 2014, I had no idea that it would be a huge hit. My blog initially was about my life, my "love" life, or lack of love life, poems, the single life, and I really created it as a way to vent. Little did I know that 4 years later, I would create my first Recipe blog post ( HERE ) and have 64,599 views on one post! That's really when my blog took off. Of course, I still throw in a review, a personal blog, or a freebie post now and then but it's mainly been recipes the past year. I do want to say Thank you! Thank you for caring so much about my life (although I don't find my life THAT interesting), thank you for reading my recipes
