Three on Thursday!

February 15, 2018

Another Three on Thursday thanks to Steph @ Not Entirely Perfect!  
1. Brooks running shoes…So I am far from an actual runner but my mom runs marathons and she swears by Brooks. I was getting shin splints and terrible calf pains when trying to run and my mother said it was probably my shoes so I put new running shoes on my Xmas list and she came through. So fantastic, no pain at all besides the pain of being a chunky butt running after not working out in forever. So, highly recommended if you want good quality running shoes! 
I have these!
2. Ebates..I can’t complain about cash back…don’t know anyone who does? I dont really use the website often but I added the toolbar to my laptops at work and home and it is very convenient for shopping! It pops up in the corner when you are on a site that gives you cash back through it. To date I have gotten back $403. Every few months I get a deposit into my paypal account and I am a happy camper! You can definitely be more savvy with it if you want to and make more. 
3. Google Maps Lists…Oh man I use this so much. Anytime I hear of a new restaurant, place I want to visit, anything that can be found on google maps I find it and give it a dot(literally anywhere in the world). So if you look at my google maps I’ve got dots galore. It’s like I hoard locations. I mark places I have tried, favorite places, and mark places I want to try and then give them a list. Highly recommended if you want to keep stuff like that in one place. Also, helpful if you are visiting a new place or even thinking about where to eat tonight. I just pull up the map and look for the dots closest to us for options.

    I always forget to use Ebates. I'm not currently online shopping, but I really have to work on it when I do Christmas shopping and stuff!

    Brooks and Asics are the best! I had so much foot pain before switching shoes. I'm glad they're working for you!
