birthday freebies!

I'm 33 years young today. Another year older, another year wiser - right? Ha! My favorite thing to do on my birthday is go around and collect my birthday goodies. Today I started with my free caramel latte from Starbucks, which you get for carrying a rewards card. Moving on to Sephora to collect my free gift - you can collect this one anytime during the month of your birthday. I usually go to Victoria Secret to use my $10 off any purchase birthday gift, but for some reason mine didn't come in the mail this year - so I used a free heart lace panty card I had instead. No purchase required on any of these freebies, it's just a nice way to treat yourself a little bit on your b-day!

My favorite freebie is my Sephora gift. This year, for the first time, they actually gave you a choice. It was between a soy based facial wash or Marc Jacobs black eyeliner and dusty rose lipstick set. I chose the eyeliner/lipstick set. Nice sizes to keep in my purse too!
