Gemma sent me a link to her wonderful DIY Abstract Artwork she made for her home in 30 minutes!
Artwork is one of those things that can totally MAKE a home. Inject a room with artwork that you love, and all of a sudden it will feel so much more personal and like you. It brings life to a space, you know? The hump that people sometimes face is that it can be expensive. However, if you look around and get creative, there are so many budget-friendly ways to bring interesting artwork into your home (I even have a Pinterest board dedicated to collecting DIY artwork
ideas). I recently needed a piece for above our mint and gold buffet, and had a very specific colour scheme and look in mind (and a zero budget). The solution? Paint my own DIY abstract art!
Signing up for Swagbucks is a great way to save money! Swagbucks is my internet search engine of choice because I earn points called SB, which I can then redeem for Amazon gift cards, Starbucks gift cards and even PayPal credit! Talk about a great way to purchase gifts or even every day essentials for free! I'm a huge fan of Swagbucks.
It's completely free to sign up. So go sign up now, then I'll tell you my top 9 tips to earn points called SB!
Tip #1 - Refer your Friends
Swagbucks has a great referral program. For each new person that you refer to Swagbucks.com, you will earn 10% of the referrals earnings. You will continue to earn 10% for as long as your referral is active on Swagbucks.com, with no maximum limit.
And while I’m at an advantage because I have a blog, you can still earn referrals if you have a Facebook page, Twitter account, or email address!
Start sending out invites to everyone you know. Here’s how:
Once you have signed up for Swagbucks, go to “Invite Friends” located at the top of Swagbucks.com.
Choose how you want to connect with them – Facebook, Email, Twitter, etc.
Send out a request.
I recommend updating the status of your own Facebook Page with your referral code when you win Swagbucks or when you receive a gift card.
If people see you are earning free stuff, they'll want in on the action too!
Tip #2 - Download the SwagButton
The SwagButton makes it faster to earn points (called SB). The SwagButton is an extension for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. With the SwagButton, you will have access to all the earning opportunities Swagbucks has to offer. Earn for searching the web. See the coupons and special offers. And enjoy one-click access to Swagbucks TV, Games, Surveys, Coupons and much more. You will also be alerted when there is a new Swag Code made available.
At the top of the Swagbucks homepage, you will find "More".
Hover over that and a drop down menu will appear.
Click on SwagButton from the list.
You will then be directed to a page to add the button to your browser. I use Chrome so it gave me instructions for adding it to Chrome.
Tip #3 - Follow Swagbucks on Facebook and Twitter
Not only do you earn points for searching online, but there are always swag codes to be found that you can type into your account for extra points. (Log into your account then enter the code into the box that says "Swag Code" at the top of the page)
Swagbucks releases codes on the blog as often as once a day.
Tip #5 - Watch Swagbucks TV
Find the “Earn” section on the left sidebar of the homepage then click “Watch”. You will earn a different amount of points depending on what you watch.
Although this may be tedious, if you're doing something on your computer anyways, you could turn the volume down and still tinker away!
Tip # 6 - Do the Daily Polls
Click on the “Daily Poll” button on the left sidebar of the homepage. Take the Daily Poll and you'll win one point. This isn’t the biggest reward out there. But it takes 10 seconds and every Swagbuck adds up!
Tip # 7 - Use Shop & Earn
Canadians can Shop & Earn! Every time you're doing some online shopping, make sure to head over the Swagbucks homepage and click on the "shop" button on the left sidebar. Depending on the store you're shopping at, you will earn a varying amount of points for every dollar you spend. (Currently you will earn 4 SB for every $1 spent online at Walmart.ca)
Tip # 8 - Join Team Challenges
Quite often, Swagbucks will put together team challenges. When you join a challenge, you will automatically be assigned a team and when you contribute a certain amount of points to your team, you will earn a bonus!
Tip # 9 - Swag Code Extravaganza
Another thing Swagbucks does quite often is they have Swag Code Extravaganzas! They will release about 6 swag codes throughout one day on their various social media and other platforms. The last extravaganza they had, if you collected all the swag codes, you would have had an extra 30 points for your account!
I hope this helps those of you that want to earn more! Swagbucks is a great way to save on the things you need! Happy earning!

You’ve got to try these Grilled Peaches. They’re delicious and ridiculously easy to make!
I’ve got a ridiculously easy, but super delicious recipe for you today! It’s Grilled Peaches! Perfect for the summer peach season to finish off a tasty BBQ. I particularly like these grilled peaches because they feel like a treat without having any really unhealthy ingredients.
Like I said, these are so simple… All you need are:
INGREDIENTS:
Peaches – cut in half
Coconut sugar (optional), you can use honey or maple syrup too
DIRECTIONS:
Once the peaches are cut in half, sprinkle a tsp of sugar on top of each one and allow to sit for a minute.
Coat the grill with PAM spray and grill the peaches face down, until you can hear them sizzle ( between 2 to 4 minutes)
Check on them at that time to see if they have the grill marks. If so, they’re done!
If you’d like, you can serve these with ice cream or whipped cream. We prefer them just like this, as it’s naturally sweet and then there are no extra calories! 🙂 Enjoy!
