How To Get Free Beauty Samples

These are all the freebies that I received recently (~2 weeks) and I can show you how to get all these goodies for yourself too :)

There are tons of freebies/coupons sites out there but the one I use is sampleaday.com. I sign up for their newsletter so I don't even have to visit the site, I just get occasional updates in my email of all the free things that are going on. I take a few seconds to glance at the products and if any of them interest me, I just follow the links and enter my shipping info and you're done! There's always something to sign up for so I'm constantly getting new freebies every week.

Concrete Jungle + mini Uniqlo haul

After getting our takeout from the Thai place, Mo took me across the street to this really serene seating area with this freaking waterfall at the end!! It's pretty loud but it is literally the perfect place to chill/eat/read. It's around 51st st/Lexington and there are a bunch of cool looking restaurants around the area too.

After a little shopping at Uniqlo, we went to FAO Scharwz and fooled around in there. There are so many useless cool toys to look at in there and it's almost like a museum. You can also play in the big piano upstairs!! And this is ma outfit for the night, taken at the fountain right outside by the Apple store.

swing tank top - $1 h&m (wrapp coupon!)

crazy pants - $10 pacsun

gladiator sandals - $5 random mall store

backpack - $25 forever21

And here is my mini haul from the 5th ave Uniqlo! I was never really into Uniqlo back in high school, but I LOVE their clothes now. I think it was a bit too mature for me back then, but now I'm getting really into basics and more classic pieces that will stay in my wardrobe for a while. Also, their sales are AMAZING. On top of that, my boyfriend gets a 30% employee discount which he loves sharing with me heheh

 I got a baby blue pair of cropped legging pants, originally $20, for $6!! Freaking insane. Along with the 30% off it came out to around $4. The material is super soft and it'll be perfect for the summer.

I also got this taupe 100% silk blouse, originally $50 for $13, with the discount it became $9. NINE. And this blouse fits beautifully, the material just sits on my skin effortlessly and it looks SO GOOD. And even without the employee discount they're still such a great freakin' deal.

YES. GET ON THIS STUFF RIGHT NOW.

Summer City Nights

Hung out with my favorite people in the city today. Somehow the day was blessed with the perfect summer weather - breezy yet warm and cozy. We all ate at a Filipino place (first time) and went to hookah afterwards (first time too!!) A night of firsts hahah

But it doesn't even matter what we do, I always have the most fun with these guys. For once we're actually hanging out and talking throughout the summer because we usually just do our own thing and focus on summer jobs/bumming out. Cheers for days like this for the rest of the summer!

Brooklyn Bridge

A casual date at the Brooklyn Bridge. I always find myself coming here for some reason, and I always discover something new about this place. There was a outdoor pool along the way that I really wanted to check out but the ocean will have to do for today. Also there are so many places to eat around here that I have yet to try (Luke's Lobsters!!) AND I haven't tried the free kayaking here. Basically, endless things to do here and will always have you coming back.
P.S. my top says "I'm actually a mermaid" ;)

graphic tank - $7 hollister

high waisted shorts - $20 hollister

mesh sneakers - nike

Mini Golf Date

 Enjoyed a lovely mini-golfing date at Pier 26, which I highly recommend! Not only is it a great cheap ($5) date idea, a lot of families were here too so it's fun for everyone. The lines weren't long at all and overall a fun little golf course. The surrounding park and water is also beautiful and it's the perfect place to relax. And this Pier was right by me and my boyfriend's old high school and I CANNOT believe that I never went here before, which is such a shame. Walking around the neighborhood was so nostalgic for the both of us and we'll definitely be coming back!

sweater - joe fresh (jc penney) $5
corduroy shorts - jc penney $4

laser cut sandals - gap (outlet) $3

BIG SUMMER PACSUN SALE

Hello lovelies! My afternoon has been blessed with shopping the most amazing Pacsun sale. Their up to 70% summer sale is going on with free shipping as well. Everything was basically under $10 and the best part about this is PacSun regularly has these 70% off sales, you just have to look out for them.

I recommend signing up for their email newsletter so you'll always catch them. Also, always always ALWAYS google coupons before ordering anything online. I usually go on www.retailmenot.com  and this time I found a 20% off $75+ and it worked alongside with the 70% sale!!

With all of that said... GO BUY SOMETHING NOW!!!
