October Online Offers
Please, you MUST read the previous posts (here, here, and here) I have written about these offers very carefully - also read the comments left on those posts as those serve kind of as "frequently asked questions" that I respond to as well. If you have any questions, email or leave a comment. It's better to ask the question than to do something you aren't sure of and have it result in an unsuccessful offer.
It is very possible to be successful with these offers! Remember, you can only earn $1,000 in prizes from each Ideal sub-company (i.e. Bullseye, 123, etc.) so choose wisely! At the time of the posting of this, none of the offers posted required referrals. Offers can change at any time so be sure to review the terms and conditions before registering! FYI - I am hearing of people getting disqualified because they did an offer that was $500 plus a T-shirt and then when they do another $500 offer with the same sub-company are disqualified because they have technically done over $1,000 with that sub-company as the T-shirt has value! Be careful with these technicalities!
I couldn't find many new offers this month. None of the offers below required referrals at the time I posted but the terms can change so check carefully. Also, some of the $500 offers are now 2-2-8 instead of 2-2-4 so please make sure to read your terms and conditions before signing up! Also, I am receiving some reader comments and emails that they are getting calls from telemarketers after signing up for some offers. I have never had this experience but did want to make everyone aware of this.

Earn Holiday Money Doing Surveys!
Here are my top 5 tips for taking online surveys:
1. Sign up with as many survey companies as possible. I'm going to highlight my top 6 in this post but you'll want to check out the surveys link on my blog to find more.
2. Use a separate email address for just surveys. That way your personal email inbox won't get overwhelmed! Schedule times each week for doing surveys.
3. Know that you won't always qualify for every survey. You'll never know what the demographic they are looking for is so just keep doing them!
4. Keep track of earnings and cash out frequently. Each company handles payment different. Keep a spreadsheet of each company's cahs out threshhold and method. Choose Paypal for the quickest payment.
5. Do the higher value surveys from the companies you do the best with first. As you do more surveys, you'll get to know which companies you do the best with. Choose these surveys first, from highest value to lowest value. Be strategic in the order you complete the surveys in your inbox.
Interested in signing up for surveys? My top 6 survey companies currently are:
1. My Survey
2. HCD Surveys
3. Opinion Outpost
4. Ipsos-I-Say
5. Pinecone Research
6. Say Nation
Check out the other survey companies I have blogged about previously.
From My Inbox...
*Brandie at Free Sample Freak wrote a post on what to do when you suspect the mailman is stealing your mail! I've had a few problems in the past few months but I don't suspect my mailman, I think it is a postal worker somewhere along the way. I just wish so many samples weren't so obviously packaged - it makes stealing more tempting if they know exactly what is in the envelope/package!

My Favorite Beauty Tip and Unilever Box of Beauty Products Giveaway!
It's so hard for me to choose my favorite beauty tip from all of the great tips featured on the widget, but I think it'll have to be about the Ponds Wet Cleansing Towelettes. The tip is "When packing for your vacation, leave the bulky big cleanser bottles at home and learn to pack lighter. Throw Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes in your bag– they’re portable and fit conveniently in your carry-on so you will breeze through security in no time." It's so true! I recently traveled and throwing these wipes into my carry-on was no fuss and so easy! The folks over at Unilever have graciously decided to give one (1) of my lucky readers a beauty box full of the products featured on the Beauty Tip of the Day Widget!
I have changed up my giveaway method a little and instead of leaving a comment on this post you'll just fill out the entry form below. Hopefully this will make it easier for you all!To do the extra entries just refresh the page to get the entry form visible again.
Your first entry will be to check out the Beauty Tip of the Day widget and let me know which featured brand is your favorite and why. This is a mandatory entry and the extra entries will not count unless you do this entry.
There are six (6) "extra" ways to enter (You must fill out the giveaway form again for each entry you do. Just hit refresh on your browser to see the giveaway form again.):
1. subscribe to my blog (either via email using the box in the left sidebar OR via RSS feed). If you already subscribe leave a comment saying you do. If you subscribe by email you MUST confirm your email and activate the subscription.
2. follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/NicolesNickels) and tweet about this giveaway. If you already follow me that's fine, just comment with a link back to the tweet about this giveaway. You must tweet about the giveaway for this entry to count.
3. blog about this giveaway (leave the link in the comment)
4. email 5 people about this giveaway (please cc me on this email - nicolesnickels at gmail dot com and leave a comment saying you sent the email)
5. grab my button for your site (leave the link to where the button is in the comment)
6. add the link to this giveaway on a Mr. Linky about giveaways or on a blog giveaway site, blog carnival or forum or yahoo group (leave link to where you did this in the comment)
You MUST fill out the entry form answering the question above as your first entry and then additional entries are governed by the terms above. You MUST fill out the giveaway form for each entry you are able to make. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only, 18 years old or over, and the winners will be chosen by random.org. This giveaway will be good until November 3 at 9:00 pm Eastern time and a winner will be announced soon thereafter. If the winner does not respond to my email within 48 hours then I will pick a new winner. Good luck!
Unilever sent me a box of beauty products as well as a $50 American Express giftcard for having the Beauty Tip of the Day widget on my site and posting about it. I will also be entered to win an all expense paid trip to a blogging conference. My opinions remain my own.

Coupons.com Update, 10/25
Printing the coupons from the widget on my blog or by clicking here supports this blog! Remember to contact your local stores to see what their policy on accepting Internet printables is! It's best to print as many as you think you may need as soon as you see them (read: right now) because you never know when a coupon will reach its print limit. Print now, hold on to them, and wait for a good deal to use them!
FYI - sometimes coupons reset several times each month so even if you have already printed 2 of a certain coupon, try to print it again - if you're lucky, it was reset and you can print 2 more!

Mineral Secrets Make-Up Review & Giveaway
I also reviewed the Acne Oil Control Gel which is part of the Acne Control 3 step kit. I loved the gel texture of this product and the fact that it didn't leave my face greasy. According to Mineral Secrets, "This lightweight gel combines the effective powers of salicylic acid with the soothing components of a botanical blend, clinically proven to control and regulate sebum. The gel boosts skin health with anti-bacterial ingredients to decrease bacteria and fight acne before it begins."

Pinecone Surveys - Registration Open!
Pinecone is la creme de la creme when it comes to survey companies. It's even invite only! You won't get bombarded with emails. I receive approximately 1-2 screener surveys per week. The screener surveys are short and if you qualify you'll get an invitation to complete the survey within a few days. They always give you a deadline by which the survey must be completed and I like knowing that I qualify for the survey and my time won't be wasted.
Pinecone surveys pay $3 each and you can elect to receive the money via Paypal or check. They automatically send the money after each survey so there is no need to remember to cash out or wait until you get to a set amount. Pinecone registration is by invite only and I've got an invite for you all - just click on the graphic above and enter your information. Please note that they are especially interested in people who live alone, English speaking Hispanic Americans, and surfers between 18 and 24 years old. I don't get any spam from Pinecone but you should use your separate deals or surveys email address when you sign up.
Hallmark Cards Review & Giveaway
The Edge of Motherhood line is a line of humor cards designed to give moms a lift during their hectic days. A recent national survey commissioned by Hallmark revealed two-thirds of moms say they handle the imperfect moments of motherhood by sharing funny stories with other moms about their experiences, and that 8 in 10 moms turn to each other for candid, empathetic, and unapologetic support and reassurance that “we are all in this together.” That's what this line of cards is all about!
The encouragement cards for kids line are cards from parents to kids and are ways of giving kids an extra boost of confidence during their lives. This may be for a big test or game and are just a small way to remind a child that you're in their corner!
The folks over at Hallmark have graciously decided to give one (1) of my lucky readers ten (10) Hallmark cards, five (5) from the Edge of Motherhood Collection and five (5) of the mom-to-kid encouragement cards!
I have changed up my giveaway method a little and instead of leaving a comment on this post you'll just fill out the entry form below. Hopefully this will make it easier for you all! To do the extra entries just refresh the page to get the entry form visible again.
Your first entry will be saying which one (1) of the two (2) lines of cards you would like to try most and why. This is a mandatory entry and the extra entries will not count unless you do this entry.

Michael Buble's Crazy Love Album
This album was released on October 9 and features two (2) original songs as well as covers of many old favorites. I especially enjoyed his rendition of "Cry Me a River" and "Georgia on my Mind". For me, this is great dinner party kind of music, the kind no one can object to and that soothes as it plays without causing a racket!
If you're looking for new music or already a fan of Michael Buble, this album is sure to impress and satisfy. Make sure to check out the acapella version of "Stardust" which is the last track. It's a superb rendition and gave me chills!
I received the album to review at no charge from One2One Network. The opinons remain mine though!
