Crowdtap's Get Soaked this Summer in Old Navy Swimwear Party

Thanks to Crowdtap, I had the chance to participate in the Get Soaked this Summer in Old Navy Swimwear party and give a friend the chance to get a free swimsuit. If you are interested in joining Crowdtap for these fun opportunities, check out this link: http://bit.ly/r1lUnn.


Being part of the Old Navy Style Council is one of the benefits of joining Crowdtap. The Old Navy Swimwear Shopping Party gave me and a friend the chance to buy one free swimsuit. The selection at Old Navy was wonderful. They had bikinis, tankinis and one pieces in every color. Here are the party pics:

The zoo and circus were the themes of our party in honor of the Madagascar 3 movie. Thanks to Crowdtap, we had plenty of fun Madagascar face masks, like the one on the left, for everyone who attended the party. We also focused on circus food with lots of popcorn, hot dogs and cotton candy for everyone to enjoy! Pin the tail on Gloria was a popular game that even attracted the adults. The face paint was another popular item at the party!



We had to include some rainbow wigs in honor of Marty and had rainbow cake!


Here are some more pictures of our fun party!


Fun with face paint.

Coupon Websites You Can Trust

tag icon set
Have you ever searched for a specific type of coupon and found thousands of irrelevant results? Do you struggle to find what you need online? There is a simple answer to your problems. You should only use legitimate websites that provide coupons. One of my favorites is Coupons.com. This website has a huge variety of coupons that get updated on a regular basis and can be used in most stores. 

A short list of good coupon websites:
1. Coupons.com
2. CouponCabin.com
3. Retailmenot.com
4. SmartSource.com
(This is not a complete list and will be updated later. These are just the most popular websites.)

Some tips to avoid bad websites:
1. Make sure your anti-virus and anti-malware software are always up to date.
2. Search for information about the website before downloading anything. If you add the name plus scam to the end of the search question, you can often uncover the best results.
3. Be careful about clicking on any outside links you are not sure about.
