Based in Vancouver, BC, I completed my Bachelor of Arts Degree in History and Criminology at Simon Fraser University (2011) before returning for studies in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry.

When I was forced to withdraw due to mandatory bedrest near the end of my pregnancy (and the semester), I decided to launch my first blog.

I had a lot of time on my hands and discovered Influenster and ChickAdvisor.

Shortly after signing up, I was selected for my first free products in exchange for social media reviews – and I was hooked!

For someone who had been what people in my family jokingly refer to as a “professional student”, generating hundreds of dollars in free product every month was kind of like creating an income online – at the time, I just didn’t realize there was so much room to expand!

My first month with free product samples equated to something like $8 but then it continued to grow to the point where I felt like a professional couponer with all of the free stuff I was receiving – some months, it was up to $1,000 worth!

I had the change to experience everything from new grocery products to full-sized premium cosmetics like Lancôme! 

To me this crazy world of social media posts for free stuff was unbelievable – and I wanted to share it with other moms just like me. 

Ladies and gentlemen, free products for your household are a form of financial contribution as well as a brilliant way to start your online adventure! 

How many hours do you need to work to  earn $1,000?

Now, imagine earning that in product with the only requirement being you share your experience!

Easy, right? But a lot of people still aren’t that familiar with it – especially in Canada!
