Coupon Codes
Here are some of my favorite things I use and a code for you to treat yourself at a discount. Everyone loves a good deal!
Lumen: for manageable and healthy weight loss
I lost 30 lbs. using Lumen after the birth of my 3rd kid. You breathe into the Lumen device, it tells you what your body is burning for energy -- either carbs or fat -- and then it gives you a macro-based plan for the day. Through my Lumen journey, I learned how much easier and more freeing it is to count macros over calories. Calories tells you little about the quality of nutrition you're putting into your body. Macros helped me think about balance, nutrition, and joyful eating. With macros, I'm thinking about my balance of protein, fat, and carbs, so I don't feel deprived but I actually enjoy the things I eat and feel confident it's fueling my body how it should. Lumen give recipes suggestions, but I just eat what I like based on the macros. And it works! This link will get you 2 months free! Click here.

Rakuten: earning cashback where you already shop!
Rakuten is my go-to site and app for cash back! Whether I'm planning a vacation, buying clothes, running errands, or looking for a bite to eat, I always start by checking Rakuten. Why? Because their cashback offers are amazing and they have so many stores (over 3,500!), many of which I already shop at. I go to Rakuten (website or app) and search for the store I'm interested in. When I see their cashback percentage, I click through to the link and the cashback is automatically applied after I make my purchase. I usually see the money added to my total within 1 to 3 days. In my first 5 months of Rakuten, I racked up $69.84. The best part is that these were sites I was already going to shop at and restaurants I was already going to eat at, so it was just an added bonus and a great deal to get a little bit back. When it's time to get your money, you can link to paypal or have them mail a check.

Fetch: turn your receipts and gaming time into gift cards!
Don't throw your receipts away -- yet! Whether you like your paper receipts or always choose the "email" option, you could be turning those receipts into points for cash with Fetch! I love this app because it's so easy and the points add up fast. With Fetch, you can earn points by simply scanning your receipts from any store, and redeem them for gift cards to your favorite retailers. A normal receipt will get you 25 points (equivalent to approximately 2.5 cents) but featured brands and items will earn you much more. My personal record is 20,338 -- equivalent to approximately $20 in gift cards -- for items I bought at Safeway. To see a more typical month, check out the screenshot below, points for one receipt ranged from 25 to 1,050.
​
It gets better though. How much time do you spend playing games on your phone. Sometimes it can feel like a waste of time, right? What is you could earn points and turn those points into gift cards? It might feel a little more worthwhile, right? Well guess what? The Fetch app also offers a variety of games and challenges that allow you to earn even more points. You download game apps using the link in the Fetch app and once you get to certain levels or complete tasks, you earn points. I downloaded my first game from Fetch 3 months ago. I've completed tasks for 6 games and currently am working through 3 more. So far, I've earned 62,203 points -- approximately $50 to $60 in gift cards! And that's just from playing in my leisure time. I make sure to focus on getting to levels or completing the tasks that will earn me points. It's working for me so far! I've noticed there are usually 4-6 games available for download and the options change every once in awhile, so check back often for something you may like.
