Shopkick

Hey guys! So here's a post for people who like to shop and those who like to shop and save money! I've done a post like this before and I didn't get any feedback but since putting my blog on google+ I've gotten more views so I thought I'd try again.

So let me tell you about my favorite app. It's called shopkick. It's an app that lets you earn points toward gift cards it's really easy and free. ( well you can add a card and get points when shopping but there's really no need) All you do is walk in stores and get points and some stores have items within their aisles that you can scan  and get points. There are days where you can get 400+ points walking in the likes of a best buy or target and there are days when you won't get as much but all the points are worth it. There are also instant points within the look books which add up as well. Those points can range from 1-15 in what I've experienced so far.

In all it's a great app. Here's where I need you, I'm trying to save up enough points to bring down the price on a tablet. I'm looking into a kindle fire HD. My cousin has it and I fell in love. It's in my price range and has some really great features. I really want to use it to focus on my blogging ,reading (books and magazines), and movie watching when I travel with my team.

 I'm looking to only have to spend $100-150 of my own money and earn $100-150 dollars of shopkick giftcards for most likely best buy. And I can earn points by referring people to the app. It's a win win for myself and anyone that adds it,  in that you will start with 50 points and for the first two weeks of your kicking I will receive half of those points. It's great because you can get your friends and followers involved and get kicks from them.

I have so much more I can say about this app if you have any questions feel free!

Oh this app is for Android and iPhone users. If you are an iPhone user like myself your giftcards can go right to your PassBook app and it can easily be accessed. If you don't have an iPhone you will get a barcode that can be scanned when getting a giftcard.

I know all this because I experienced it today! I got a free two dollar giftcard for Target today which doesn't seem like a lot but really came in handy.  I believe that deal is going on until February. You might as well click my link get that 50 points and that two dollar giftcard and experience the greatness of Shopkick.

This post has been longer than I excepted it to be so I'll stop here. I've got some pictures for you to check out and just so you know here are some examples of other giftcards you can earn.

Starbucks, American Eagle, Gas gift card, Nike!!!, and so much more....

Guys I'm so excited I'm going to make a Dream/Goals board. I have the idea all mapped out in my head and I think its really going to be effective. I've been doing a lot of research on how to effectively stay motivated to reach goals. More than once I've read that seeing those goals often help you get there. I will keep you updated, I'll post pics of my board and tell of my progress. Its going to be awesome because I know that I will make it.

My formula

God+ seeing goals+ action= Making it

Goals

Goals for Jan, The semester, and the year.

Continue to work on my relationship with God that's a continual thing

My journey to a 4.0 is still real. I have 3 or 4 more semesters to do it.

I'm still working on my health man. I'm going to make a life style change I'm determined

I want to be able to get eight hours of sleep at least 4 to 5 days a week. Rest is a must

I'm going to learn how to be financially stable so my future will be awesome. I'm going to live with in my means whatever that may be and  still enjoy life abundantly. I have a few things to save for this year and I'm looking to learn the best ways to save for grad school and fund that educational endeavor.

I looking for grad programs. As of right now I want to go to Temple for my Masters in Film and Media Arts but I want to look at two more programs so I won't have all my eggs on one basket.

I want to find some internships and places to gain experience in my field hopefully after gaining my Masters I can be in career mode have a career and be doing my thing.


Another goal of mine is to stop staying I'm broke. Its true that sometimes my funds aren't where I want them to be but things could be worse. Also words are powerful and I don't want to speak anything negative over my life. 
Proverbs 15: 4The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 21:23 (NIV)

Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.

Psalm 37:30 (NIV)

The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just.

I encourage you to leave your goals down below in the comments. I'll try my hardest to keep you motivated.
