TrimBack.com: New Community for Online Couons, Deals & Discounts - Including Grocery Coupons Update

I just woke up this morning and found out I won the Trimback & MomFuse blogging contest!  Yeah!!!

If you haven't had a chance to check out Trimback, you really should as it's an excellent source to save money with coupons and discounts to a huge selection of stores.  There is even a Shopping Forum coming soon to help share more great deals!

Want to know more about Trimback?  Please read my post below.

I'm an above-novice coupon clipper and semi-expert for online sales but with the need to cut spending and realize better budgeting skills, finding a bargain or a discount has become somewhat a hobby for me.  I also spend a lot of my time shopping on the internet as it's easier and you really can pick up some great deals if you use coupon codes.  Before I buy anything online, I always search for coupons. 

One of my favorite stores to shop online is Macy's.  I will never buy anything unless I search for Macy's coupon codes to ensure I get the best deal.  What I like the best about this site, it has all the stores that you can think of and all you do is enter the store you are interested in, click on search and all the offers pop up.  If you don't know what you want to search for, all the stores are available in alphabetical order.

This relatively new site, TrimBack.com is a community offering great coupon codes, deals and more.  They even have a blog that provides informative details on other codes, special deals and bargains.  You can search over 30,000+ coupons, deals and discounts!

Remember whenever you want to buy something online, check for codes, discounts and deals with four easy steps:

1. Go to TrimBack.com
2. Enter the store you are interested in the search box and press search
3. Select from all the available deals, discounts and coupons
4. Click the coupon code or click the click to use link next to the code and enter the code when instructed to.

Don't forget there is a handy tab for grocery store coupon clipping too!

*Disclaimer:  I was not compensated for this review.  I am entering a MomFuse and TrimBack.com contest for a giftcard giveaway.  I did register and use the site so my review is an honest review of the site and abilities.

Harvey Prince Ageless: A Smart Scent

Nothing makes a woman feel like a woman like a good perfume. Having perfect strangers compliment you on the perfume you are wearing is always a boost to the ego as it shows you have good taste. Most important is when your significant other enjoys the fragrance and you know it drives him crazy. We all like aromas hence the big business around candles, incents, air fresheners and all the other products available so a perfume that is considered a smart scent only makes sense.

I was provided an exciting opportunity to review Harvey Prince’s Ageless perfume and I have to admit, I was a skeptic as I’m ultra sensitive to strong perfumes and have only worn two different brands my entire life. I was excited to receive the perfume in the mail and opened it right away to see if I felt younger or if my husband perceived me as being younger.

I sprayed it lightly on one arm and then performed the test on my husband and my oldest daughter. My husband perked up after I sprayed it on my arm as I lightly passed it by him. My oldest daughter liked the fresh smell and how it wasn’t overpowering. She's worse than me when it comes to perfumes.

I can honestly say that the perfume lives up to the smells of the various ingredients listed as top, middle and base notes.

The top notes consists of pink grapefruit, apple, mango, pineapple and pomegranate which left an upbeat, delightful smell. The leafy greens add to the freshness. This is the first scent when first applied to the skin and should last around 5-10 minutes. It was a nice refreshing smell which did not choke me up as many other perfumes do.

The middle or heart note contains cherry blossom and pink jasmine which is suppose to leave a calming and relaxing effect. The two additional ingredients, Lily of the Valley and Peony brings out happiness emotions. This scent becomes more obvious after 15 minutes post application and can last up to an hour or more.

The base or dry notes include precious woods, musk and vanilla. The vanilla lends its hand at soothing and a positive attitude. These ingredients are considered heavier and can last for hours.

It reminded me of living in Hawaii again with all the wonderful fragrances. The combination of all scents works wonderfully together and definitely leaves you not smelling like grandma.

Harvey Prince’s Ageless perfume is not like any other perfume as it’s marketed to make a woman feel years eight years younger due to the scent alone. What is different about the basis of this perfume is the president of Harvey Prince’s two sons researched and studied the writings of an author and scent critic in NY and a neurologist and psychiatrist who study scents. The outcome is a patent-pending perfume that smells nothing like your mother or grandmother and inspires thoughts of youth.

Pros:

1. Light, fresh smell
2. Not overpowering
3. Inspired by clinical trials
4. Sleek, elegant bottle design
5. 100% allergy tested
6. Not tested on animals
7. Free of chemicals

Cons:

1. It might be a little pricey for some but a good scent is worth it!
