Reward Yourself {and Shop!} with BING

Of course, we have another guest blogger today and its none other then (the usual guest) mommy. She wants to tell you about how much she loves shopping...

First of all, thank you kids for letting me use your soap box to give our readers an insight on how much your mommy loves to shop. Lucky for you I do, too because you wouldn't be quite so stylin' without my shopping skills.

I've always loved to shop. Pre-Riplets, I'd go during my lunch hour (usually browsing but sometimes finding a deal that couldn't be passed up) and on the weekends with my friends (I know kids, "friends"? mommy actually used to have them!). I do recall searching online during my breaks at work, too sometimes-looking for items that I couldn't find at a store- but I didn't really embrace online shopping until after my kids were born. Now I cannot imagine life without online shopping.

Since I am home during the day with my kids and its tough getting all three out to the mall, I rely heavily on any shopping I can do during naps. Not only that, but I love that I can shop anywhere I want to, from the comfort of my home. I have found so many companies that I would've never got to experience if I wasn't able to find them online. The key word there is "find" them. I have a variety of ways I find new companies to shop at including seeing them on other blogs and discount fashion sites. My number one way to find new items and companies is using search engines like BING.

Why BING, you ask? Because you can get the best of both worlds by using this search engine. BING is easy to use and always gets me what I'm looking for in no time flat. Beyond its convenience, BING also offers BING Rewards. So as you search, you earn points that can be used to make future purchases. Its really a win-win situation!

If you haven't signed up for BING Rewards, now is you chance to try it out. To sign up simply go to http://www.bing.com/rewards/signup. Right now, upon signing up you will receive 250 credits to use towards any reward you'd like. To get an idea of how many credits you need, a $10 Starbucks gift card is 1338 credits. So what are you waiting for? Go sign up and get shopping on Bing!
