Renting your school books!

With the end of the school year approaching some of you, or possibly your family members, may be heading off to college soon! It's an exciting time but unfortunately a very EXPENSIVE time as well. 

If you are looking for ways to stretch your school dollars, consider renting your text books!

A great place to rent school books is Campus Book Rentals


Why would you rent books??

Well, for one, it's sooo much cheaper than buying books!! You can save crazy amounts of money and if you change your mind and decide you want to keep the book, all you have to do is pay the difference! Campus Book Rentals even has a 30 day risk free trial period! Return your books for any reason within 30 days and you'll get a full refund! That's pretty sweet!!


If you are worried about renting books because you like to highlight and write notes in your books, don't worry! When renting from Campus Book Rentals you CAN highlight and write in your books!!! They just ask that you do it respectfully.

There are no sign up fees, registration fees, or sneak up and bite you in the back fees {{and honestly it sounds like they are pretty lenient if you happen to get your books back to them a little bit late}}.

They have a great selection of books and are currently serving over 5,500 schools, so they must be doing something right!

Another really great thing about Campus Book Rentals is that they are teaming up with Operation Smile!


This year they will be donating enough money to cover a minimum of

1,000 life changing cleft lip surgeries

They will be donating a portion of the proceeds from EVERY BOOK rented to meet and hopefully exceed the goal of 1,000 surgeries! You can save money on books and feel good about helping families that otherwise could not afford these kinds of surgeries! Personally, I think that's pretty awesome!

So if you are a student....or just have a desire to be more educated:) Hop on over and consider using


You can also find them on facebook and twitter!





It's worth looking into! It's a great way to stretch your budget!

Rachael Clegg Handmade Soap Giveaway~



Rachael has been making homemade soap from her home for the past 9 years,
and in my opinion has perfected the art!


 Rachael sent me a couple bars to try....
Can I just start by saying

I LOVE HOW THIS SOAP SMELLS
Okay, seriously folks...and I am not usually one that even enjoys scents. They are usually too artificial,
 but Rachael's soaps smell REALLY REALLY GOOD!!

They also leave you feeling really clean!
I've enjoyed them quite a bit,
and I'm pretty picky when it comes to soap because I have really sensitive skin.

I chose and would totally recommend:

Black Raspberry Vanilla
{{My personal favorite! I love the feel of the poppy seeds!!}}


And
Cranberry Orange
No dyes or perfumes! Just all natural essential oils.



Another one of her most popular is the 

She sells out of this one FAST!
People will order a full batch{{16 bars}}

Rachael's soap is absolutely wonderful and I love the charming look of the bars.




At $3 a bar, it's very affordable and would make such a lovely spa gift set for a friend, 
or a perfect Mother's day gift!

Yes, you heard me correctly, only $3 each or order any 4 for $10!
