birthday girls + free stuff

Saturday was my Mom's birthday.  And today...is mine!

And in going with this birthday theme, I thought I'd share with you some of the b-day freebies we received, and of course, a list of freebies that you can take advantage of as well!

I signed up for Sephora's beauty insider club, which means a regular-sized body wash from Philosphy.  It smells like sweet vanilla cake.  Happy birthday to me!

A Rooty Tooty breakfast at Ihop's.  Breakfast for dinner?  On the house?  Yes, please!

Signing up for Rita's newsletter informs you to new promotions and discounts throughout the year, including a complementary Italian ice on your birthday.

And today, I'll be heading out to get a free scoop of cookie dough ice cream from Ben & Jerry's!

As I promised, here is a full list of things you can get free on your birthday.  And if you know of any other promotions that aren't listed here, then please do share!

*Quick tip: Most of these companies require you to create accounts and/or sign up for newsletters.  To keep your main email account from getting too cluttered, create and designate a separate one solely for "junk mail".  That's what I did!

Does getting free stuff excite you as much as it excites me?
