I wanted to go back to grease for my natural hair,

because grease is cheap. For a reason, I guess. Like the main ingredient is Petrolatum ie Petroleum. And then mineral oil. I feel like sometimes people try to promote that either of these things is okay? I just think they're really not. At the very best, they're non-moisturizing. For my kinky, coarse ass hair that's literally my main goal, to moisturize my hair. Petroleum and Mineral Oil don't add moisture in any way whatsoever. The best they do is seal in moisture. But...not really? Idk science, but I feel it just acts as a coating, instead of really sealing the moisture in, you know? It like just covers the moisture layer but doesn't help it to sink in. Then when the grease dries or wears off or whatever the moisture layer immediately evaporates and your hair is left dry and crispy as fuck.

I was using this gross, bacon-smelling product by Bronner Brothers called Pine Tar Super Gro. I kind of really liked it for a small minute because I thought it was doing a good job of sealing my hair? But really no, it was just sitting on the top of my hair and not helping to seal anything. I feel with ~~natural~~, less gross sealing oils like castor (which I use) or whatever, it like binds with the moisture layer. Like you get your hair wet, add conditioner or whatever and seal with an oil that will actually kind of sink the moisture in with the cuticle. Where as with petroleum, which I think they like scrape off the bottoms of boats or some shit, NO JOKE, it just sits there and doesn't help sink in or seal shit.

My dumb mind refused to really acknowledge how worthless grease is for hair for a while, because it is, like I said, pretty cheap. I had stopped using the Pine Tar after I finished the jar. Like I just never bought it again because it smelled bad and left a lot of residue on my hair. But then dummy me a handful of months ago tried to get some grease again. And looking at the package I am only just now realizing it is the exact same product, sans Pine Tar. I just got the regular Super Gro, I guess? ~~With Vitamin E~~. I tried to do some twist outs or whatever with this and it left my hair a dry, residued-up ass mess. Why. I just KEEP reading and seeing things from natural bitches saying they've gone back to grease. BUT HOW? It's trash. Are they lying? Are they being sponsored by Grease?? Or maybe I just used the wrong grease. But grease is grease is grease, you know? I can't imagine using Indian Hemp or that weird papaya shit at the dollar store is going to be any different. Maybe grease ~works~ for certain hair types. My hair is super dry and kinky-coarse, so... Also fine. Maybe it works for looser hair, or thicker?? Idk, BUT NOT FOR ME. And even if it does work for others...it's still shit product. It's garbage. Petroleum is not good???? Idk, I'm tired. Back to castor oil.

Silk Nutchello Rich Dark Chocolate + Walnuts


I got to try this Nutchello shit via Crowdtap a while back. I was excited initially because I've been really into trying all these nut milks (why)??? Like trying reg nut milks like almond and cashew (bitch, disgusting) annnnnd idk. I've been having a primarily terrible time, but also fun. It's fun for me sometimes to have a bad time. Like nut milks are gross and I've yet to find one that doesn't taste like dirty semen water mixed with the ugly emo sadness of Edgar Allan Poe, and regret. 

But yet!...my search continues. Because these nut milks have a lot of benefits, or like vitamins and shit that are not found in regular milk? I'm a regular milk-drinker (sue me!!) and always have been. Like when I was kid I would just chug down whole glasses like some wild animal?? Or not like a wild animal because who in the jungle or mountains has a glass? I can see like a hippopotamus having a glass...or like a really snobby crocodile. Def a bougie mountain lion named like Fredriquè, but everyone calls him Freddie just to piss him off. Anyway why am i allowed to live :') 

Anyway I love milk! But it's kind of fucked up and not okay maybe? Lol idk. I'm still drinking it, but I kind of want to not?? But I'm not finding some healthy bitch equivalent and it's annoying me. So anyway I'm lowkey giving up, while kind of still half-assedly trying these nut shits out. What am I doing with my life...

So anyway!! I got to try Nutchello Dark Chocolate & Walnuts for free which was cool. Like would I have bought this with my own severely lacking coins? Idk. It wasn't even that much...like 2.99 for 48oz??? So not so bad. I think the price used to be higher but lol aint no1 buying this weird shit.

Okay so Silk is really reaching with their little ~*~Benefits~*~ section on their website. How are benefits 90 calories and 14 g of sugar per serving? Like I guess? And then saying no cholesterol and satch fat? Like congrats?? Am I just like an entitled millennial? Like who cares? Also these aren't even really great benefits? Like 14g of sugar is a lot like what are you talking about. But I guess no cholest and stach fat but tbh I don't think either of those things are bad so again who cares? Also they mention some other shit like no dairy, lactose blah. Again, congrats don't care. Yada yada no gmos. Don't care again. No artifish flaves or funny business. Well goddamn, you've got a winner here!! I'm a huge douche, but come on, no one cares. 

Actual benefits to point out would be, i don't knowwwww, the vitamins??????? Just a thought. I was amped on this because it has Riboflavin, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12!, Zinc, A, and Iron. Like cool. Not a huge amount of all of those like Iron or whatever, but still, pretty cool. 

But then you get to ingredients and I want to scream because Silk was talking all that shit about ~~no funny business~~ but bitch what is "Natural Flavor"??? YOU TRIED IT. What is that? Like bye. And yo...........whatthefuck is Locust Bean Gum??? Kinda don't want to know. Likkkkkkkkkkkkkke I'm seeing locust......which is bad enuff, but then you talking bout sum bean gum. Hmmmmmmm...okaaaaaay. LIKE OKAY!!!! 

So whatever? Does this taste good, like is anyone as pedantic and annoying as me about some damn ingredients and claims and shit? Like does walnut cum water mixed with dark choco taste good? Good enough, I guess? If you like dark choco this is a pretty good like milk chocolate...sub? Actually...it's lowkey disgusting lol. But that could just be me and my innate retching whenever nut milk enters my mouth. Like it's just always...such a fucking weird consistency. But I guess when you're milking a nut...things are gonna get pretty weird. Like this is alright. I only ever get a tiny bit when I drink it lol like you can't have a whole glass of this mess. Maybe with some ice? I'm not a huge ice person so I just pour it in a cup as is. Half gross, half okayish. Good thing I love dark chocolate. 

Now, would I pay for this mess with my actual money dollars? Probably not... It kinda makes me want to just look for a dark chocolate chocolate milk, sigh. Or buy that Organic Valley Dark C Protein Drink that's always out of stock. Drinking this mess is not becoming a hobby for me. However I did see online that someone used this to make ice cream? If I had any components to make fucking ice cream, I would totally buy this just for that, because it'd prob taste pretty good and be healthyish. But this lowkey seems like some shit they're taking off shelves pretty soon so I won't be making any future plans to be doing that. Also I'm lazy and rather just buy ice cream already made? Like who makes ice cream? Ben & Jerry, I guess. But those are established weird dudes. Like do they live together on a barn? I have no idea, I just imagine them as two old bears who live on a barn and they have a bunch of cows and sit around listening to psychedelic music all day while burning sage and being pretty cool and nice dudes. Don't ruin my fantasy!

My 1st Birchbox

I am uhbsessed with subscription boxes, but bitch I can barely afford to steal Netflix, so subscribing to all these unnecessary, rich people gift-a-months is not logical or ideal. But I got some ~deal~ on a get paid to site that was basically like Okay subscribe to this and we'll give you nine dollars back. So ultimately I ended up paying like a dollar and some change for my first box. Which, thank god??

So I got my box and it looked like this
I can't tell if ten dollars a month for samples is...okay, or kind of dumb? Like on one hand it's cool to be able to get introduced to shit that maybe you wouldn't ordinarily...or like there's SO MUCH product out there that it can be overwhelming? So it's cool to have a service that's like HERE'S SOME THINGS, TRY THEM. And sometimes they give you full-size shit and that's cool, but ultimately I didn't know how I felt about Birchbox in particular, for me.

I def am a product...not junkie. Like not full blown product crackhead, but tbh that's prob only cuz I'm poor af. Like I can't just be buying shit all the time or really any time, but bet if I had a good amount of disposable income I'd be disposing all that shit on products. Def if I ever become flush I am subscribing to all sorts of subscription boxes, just...maybe ones more tailored to me. Like ones geared toward kinky haired bitches, or black chicks, or maybe there's a subscription box for korean skin care products, or one that has like ALL GLITTER SHIT. I def want any and all subscription food boxes (those are like A MILLION DOLLARS), well except for the snack ones, I guess I can start w/ the snack ones, annnnd also I want the vegan beauty sub boxes. Birchbox seems more for like Gwyneth Paltrows in-training and that's not my steez. So I cancelled my account after my first box but lol my dumb ass got another account because I got another ~deal~ so I'm getting another box sigh and kill me dot com. But anyway I guess I can talk about the trash they threw in my box and if I liked it or whatever. 

-Beauty Protector Protect & Oil
It's the tiny little glass vial in the box, orangey oil. Iono, this some white ppl shit. I did use it once when I got my hair wet. I just rubbed some on there. Noticed nothing. 

-BioRepublic Skincare Aloe Rescue Revitalizing Fiber Mask
This was my first time using a sheet mask and it was gross and weird, but I loved it. It took a minute for me to figure out how to unwrap the shit, but once I got it on my face it felt all cool and good and I was like okay yaas. Left it on for about fifteen min, took it off, rubbed the aloe shit into my face, applied argan and I was good to go. Felt VERY REFRESHED after using this. Mask says it has vitamin e and phytocollagen and shit and that all sounds good to me. I'm def bout to start getting into sheet masks. 

-Davroe Smooth Senses Anti-Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner
Little sample sizes. I am interested in using this but have yet to, so nothing to report. 

-SheaMoisture Weightless Shit 
Some Creme Rinse and some Other Shit. I am mostly anti-Shea Moisture, I think their products are shit, at least for my kinky ass hair. I'll prob at least try this though, but I have no expectations. Or, I do but they're bad :')

ohhhh also, I feel Birchbox kinda just threw this SheaMoisture shit in here last minute, to ~*~customize~*~ my box once they realized I was black? Lol because they provided a little card in the box that lists all the products and SheaMoisture is not listed I AM TRULY SCREAMING TO DEATH

-Manna Kadar Cosmetics, sample from their The Day Dream Palette 
LOVE the little glittery shadow they provided. Reading my product card, I only just now realized it's an eyeshadow lol I'd been just swiping it on my cheeks as a highlighter of sorts. I love it, it's super cute and glowy and kind of pink. Def want to get into Manna Kadar and I'm not even a huge makeup bitch.

-Marcelle Hydra-C 24H Energizing Hydrating Gel
Haven't used this yet but they're telling me this has green tea, cucumber extracts, and vitamins c and e, which I only just now realized so it's making me want to use it. I have oily skin so it should prob work well? We'll see!  

-Eyeko Liquid Eyeliner
Cool, like a little marker. Blackity black black. 

So that's all the shit. Some of it was cool, and I do have some new products I want to try more of and continue using but I am not wholly excited about Birchbox. However I am excited about trying other, better boxes, and thus, the silver lining. Anyway what first world problem shit is this???

One of the best things I've ever done for my feet

was soak them in a Magnesium Chloride foot bath every day for about a month. 

I initially bought this bag 
with the intention of internally consuming it. I'm getting into teeth remineralization, and this mineral? vitamin??? was suggested as an Essential

I don't know how people drink this shit, it tastes like death. And I know people say that a lot about like shitty hotdogs, or spoiled papayas or whatever, but this legit tasted like I was going to die. You have to take like a tablespoon of this a day, I think? The bag says "shot" and I think I translated it and they said shot means tablespoon. So I dumped a tablespoon of this crystalized devil's cum into a glass of water and tried to take one single sip of it and immediately decided I was going to that cliff Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood were dangling from in The Good Son and I was going to karate kick hi-yah my ass right the fuck off of it. I wanted to be dead

It tasted SO BAD. So bad. But I was committed to taking the shit because I spent like twenty dollars on the bag. I was like I'm going to use this. So I decided to try taking it all at once in a little bit of water. Because initially I had poured it in like a whole glass or bottle water full, creating more haunting magnesium chloride demon juice for me to drink? Yeah, no. So I'd pour a tablespoon's worth into a cup and then cover that bit with water just barely enough for it to dissolve. Then I knocked it back. Actually for that little bit it'd take me two "knock-backs". It was still a no. This doesn't just taste bad, it's like you can feel how bad it is. It just causes this sickening reaction in your whole body. I shudder just thinking about it. It's like it makes you feel like you 1. want to vomit 2. are drowning 3. and also being electrocuted, because you're 4. being fucked in the ass with a telephone pole. Alladat, no exaggeration (a little exaggeration). 

My last trick to get this fucking lobotomy juice down was I'd make my little mix of water and the tablescoop, right? But I'd take a hard sip of the most acid-tasting orange juice I could get before it. Then I'd drink the orange immediately after. I had to do it really fast to cut down as much as possible on the horrid sting. Even still, it was just too painful, so I out of nowhere just decided to soak my feet in it. In think I read about people doing magnesium foot soaks, but they used flakes, not the little crystal powder that I had. But I was like, is it really that serious? What was the big difference between the powder and flakes besides their structure? But maybe structure is important in terms of how the mag gets distributed and in what way it's being used?? Idk. 

But I used my crystal powder shit as a foot bath, anyway. And btw I have also used flakes. I bought a huge tub for like $17, lasted me about a week smh. The bag lasted like a month with me just scooping a tablespoon into hot water. I'd add baking soda occasionally for ~alkalizing~. 

Uhhhh I really liked doing this, and need to get back. I feel this regimen of soaking in the mag water improved, at the very least, the state of my feet. I walk a lot, so my soles are kind of hard, and initially I had these rough ass callouses. Um, don't have them anymore??? The only thing that's remained is occasional hardness on I guess the outside of my heel, annnnnnnnd like a rough bit on the side of my right foot. BUT IF I FUCKING EVER GET BACK TO IT!! 

Since I ran out I've just been taking my sweet ass time ordering another bag. But imma get another and get my feet buttery af. Slop some lanolin or some shit on there after my foot soak OMG. 

In terms of health benefits, I have no real idea. I only took this for a month. When I took it internally the only thing I noticed was it giving me explosive diarrhea. Soaking my feet in it...I have no idea what ~healthy~ shit it did. Like I said, my main interest was taking this for tooth remineralization. I have some cavities I want to ~hippie heal~. I have like two cavitied-up molars in the back that seem...salvageable, so I'm on my journey to revert or repair them or whatever. Magnesium chl was bandied about as a main thing you needed to become accustomed with. I think if I get back to daily baths and doing it for a long time, at least six months, I will maybe see some recovery, especially along with the iodine I take (maybe??), and the B Vitamins. And also imma add a bunch of otra shit. But I do look @ my molars a lot and they don't seem to have progressed towards worsening, and also sometimes I would look at them while doing the foot baths and go "huh". Or was I projecting? Maybe. But also maybe if I get more consistent with this I'll be going huh but in caps so HUH. 

We'll see! lol no1 reads this blog. thank g*d, tbh.

P.S. Oh, but if anyone DOES read this blog (which they don't) and are looking for an inexpensive foot bath tub, I just bought this dish tray basin thing at the Dollar Store, and it's held up. Only issue is it's pretty small and I wear a size goddamn 10. But for any normal-footed hoes, that should work well.

Lay's Classic Potato Chips

So recently I am obsessed with Lay's Classic Potato Chips. They're salty as fuck and I LOVVVEEE a salty snack. However I am aiming for a...less shitty diet. A healthier one. I take...efforts every day to improve my diet but often I make so many horrific mistakes. And I can't even blame being penniless because when I do have money for food I always buy the worst shit. Like if there is a BAD THING and a GOOD THING and they cost the same 9/10 I will buy the bad thing. But anyway I'm weak and have no self-control :') So I keep eating these Lays. But my bitch ass has been trying to find the silver lining. Maybe they're not THAT BAD :')

So Nutrition Facts. 

The entire 2.75 oz. (????) bag that I usually eat adds up to 440 calories. Sweet, off to a good start. 

Total Fat is 44% of Daily Value. This keeps getting better :')

No Cholesterol...suspiciously. 

Sodium...I should prob pay attention to sodium but I usually don't. Like as a salty snack lover I really can't be out here caring about that. I am what I am bitch SEE ME!! But anyway it's 19% :/

Potassium is 27%. Potassium's good, right? Good for cramps, THESE CHIPS R SAVING LIVES. 

Out of nowhere these chips have 25% DV of Vitamin C. 8% Iron which means nothing to me. 15% Vitamin E! For no discernible reason I get hard for Vitamin E. I love it but don't even really know what the fuck it does or is needed for. But bitch if I see Vitamin E listed on some shit I'M BUYING IT! Same with Niacin & Magnesium. Lays has 15% Niacin, and 10% Mag. Not bad. What's really hood though is the random 25% daily value of Vitamin B6. Lol what? These hydrogenated oil fried ass potato slices have some b6??? That's wassup. B6 does stuff. What? DON'T FUCKING ASK ME BITCH I DON'T KNOW! But it's good!!! So in conclusion these chips are good and I am doing a good thing for my body fuck you

Toluna

One of the survey sites from my ~~Beginning Days~~. I think this was the first one I dropped. Never liked their points system, and HATED their surveys. A lot of the times they'd mess up and I wouldn't get paid even though I spent like twenty minutes plus (never again) on some shit. I actually quit with them because they never paid me my last reward. I'd always cash out ten dollar Sears cards, but suddenly the last time they didn't deliver it to me. If a site doesn't pay me once, even if it seems to just be a random slip-up and not like it'd happen again or frequently, I quit them, because it's like what am I really doing here for this little bit of bitch ass money? I didn't even put in a complaint I was just like fuck it. Cuz like I said there are sooo many other sites to annoy me and waste my time and Toluna was always on my shit list from day one for being whack and being named Toluna, so I just wiped my hands of them. #dramatic


I've used a bunch of other sites that I forgot about but were so whack I only tried them for two seconds than immediately quit so that's why I forgot them. There are also a bunch of other sites I haven't tried or just straight-up don't know about. I just wanted to talk about the majority of my experience doing these types of sites. I suggest visiting this site surveypolice. Look at the main parts of site and also the "forum" section, you'll find a bunch of people talking about their experiences, and also other survey and get-paid-to sites that I didn't mention here.

American Consumer Opinion

Do not recommend. Their accounting is shit, you either won't get paid or it'll take a million years. Why is it that other sites can pay you immediately via paypal, etc but American Consumer Opinion is talking about 6-8 weeks which isn't even true because it's typically longer than that. They're buggin', pass.

SurveySavvy

Uhhhh. Surveys are infrequent. They only pay me in check lol. I literally have cashed out one and two dollar checks. #sad #poor. But the checks didn't bounce lol and I plan on sticking with this site for now. Hit or miss with surveys, but I can't say I've had a negative experience, so I'll stay until I do. Checks take a while to get to you, though, so heads up on that.

get savvy (pleez help me)

Quest Mindshare

Do not recommend. Surveys sporadic and fuck up sometimes. Also repetitive. Also for no reason they deducted like three dollars out of my account and put me in a deficit?? After that I was just over them. I got paid ten dollars in amazon money once and that was it. There are...two other panels I believe connected to quest and I forget their names...FS Surveys?? Idk. But if you sign up and see how quest is, the other panels look exactly the same just a different color theme. Would recommend avoiding all of them.

share ur mind (don't actually)

Bizrate Rewards

This is an app. I have NO IDEA what information they're trying to collect or for whom. Their "surveys" are basically just repetitive ass profile questions, and mostly about sports and cars? Falls asleep and dies. Like. But the surveys also take two seconds. So far I've made five bux in giftcard money. I think they have amazon, itunes, some other shit. I recommend trying this app just because it takes the least amount of effort and who doesn't want to be a lazy bitch at all times always :')??

ZoomPanel

Weirdly, I have stayed with this site despite it's $25 cashout minimum and boring ass surveys. I don't even visit this site everyday but something about it is dependable to me. I guess? I have no idea but this was one of the first survey sites I signed up for, and while I've pretty much dropped all the other ones, zoompanel has remained. Like birds after the prehistoric era. Or what am I doing? I don't know. This is a site that has a lot of product testing, though. I've gotten a lot of food from here like pasta sauce and Clif bars and shit. I LOVE product testing food please kill me.

QuickThoughts

This is an app. Open it up, they give you surveys. Hit or miss in terms of my interest in the surveys, but a lot of them are like ten minutes so...that's fine. I hate to do any survey longer than ten minutes lol like I get a survey and it says twenty five minutes I just am not doing it. Unless the pay is like four dollars or some shit then fine. But usually it's like sixty or eighty cents and I'm like lol girl no. So with quickthots I appreciate the time estimation. Also mostly every survey pays a dollar, which is dope. A possible major con is that the only reward for this app, if you're using ios, is an itunes giftcard. At first I was like wtf am I going to do with an itunes giftcard bitch, but then I remembered I have applemusic, so I've been using quickthots to pay for that, which is sweet. Apparently, though, using quickthots on android, you get amazon giftcards, so. Try it, I guess? I've had a mostly positive experience.

E-Poll

Their surveys...idk I don't like them. They're about entertainment mostly but they just irk me. I quit this site after they took forever paying me on my last cash out which was just some bitch ass five dollar amazon card. There are so many other survey sites to annoy me and waste my time, this one just got lost in the shuffle.

SurveyJunkie

Did not like this site at first, but started putting a modicum of effort in and have made like thirty dollars with them I think just in this past month? At least the past two months. The trick is not to wait for them to e-mail you surveys but to visit the site several times a day. They have a lot of surveys tumbling in pretty much all day. I get disqualified from most of them but they give you points for disqualifying and that's always a plus for me. And even though I get disqualified a lot I've still been able to make money, so there's def a gluttony of surveys if my constantly disqualified ass is making money. So far I'm liking this site. Things can always change tho, one minute I'll be into a site the next minute they change rules or merge with another company or some shit and it's like okay well that was fun while it lasted cough mintvine.

EarnHoney

First day made two dollars easy in amazon gift money. Barely tried. However for some reason I have yet to keep up with this site? Idk if it's cuz the way it looks or maybe it's very gpt-ness. Imma go back and try though and see if I can reach cashout quick again. I also think cashout even for paypal is really low so I def need to head back over there and put in more work.

Clickworker

Like microworkers but way worse? It's a task site, you do small tasks for tiny amounts of money. My experience was that no jobs were available to me except for labeling dresses for $.01 a pop. And you're like what? Exactly. I think clickworkers is one of those sites that's different for everyone, though? So try it and see. There's def money-making potential, but I gave up quick af cuz lazy and fuck you

Crowdtap

Kind of a Get Paid To site, I guess? You ~work~ with brands tweeting bullshit for them and testing their products. It's fun sometimes but it's also the worst? Lol no it's fine. I've tested so much shit. They have brands like Folgers, Jergens, Ricola, Jiffy, Garnier, Haagen-Daaz, InkJoy - all kinds of random brands. In order to product test you have to apply for them to send you shit. Sometimes you get approved sometimes you don't. You have to have your social media pages (facebook, twitter) linked to the site so I guess if you have pretty "good" looking ones, and put in effort on the activities on the site, you have a greater chance of getting approved to test shit. I make about five dollars a week here? In amazon cards, I don't think they offer anything else. I think I signed up here back in May and have made about $135 in amazon money, so not bad. And the "work" on the site is mostly non-tedious, so it's def a site to try out for sure.

Bing Rewards (Microsoft Rewards??)

This is not a survey site or really even a get paid to, but if you sign up with bing and basically just do all your searches on their search bar, you can get like five dollars a month maybe in amazon giftcard money. They have other cards for like some microsoft store (NO ONE WANTS THIS, BING) orrrrr xbox card idk what xbox ppl do or need that for uhhhhh they have a month-long hulu subscription for a certain amount of points, etc, but I always go for the five dollar amazon card. I just do all my searches on bing, collect my bing coins, and get my card. Some people have complained bing took away the amazon giftcard in their reward store? But so far I still have mine. But I'll probably stop using bing rewards if they take it away. Or idk maybe I can get the Hulu thing... I need to catch up on Mindy Project. Tell me why it looks like Mindy and Danny had a baby but AREN'T TOGETHER?! lol okay Mindy. I'M BOUT TO GO AWF!! but okay

Microworkers

This is...different. Microworkers pays you to do ~microtasks~ like testing apps, tweeting bullshit for people, or commenting on youtube videos. Hate microworkers and hate every "job" I've done for them lol. Like getting paid thirty-three cents to tweet I love some African dictator is weird lol, and also I'm lazy and don't want to :) The things that pay the most are typically app testing which I never do because I don't trust that shit on my ipad. I don't want some fucking virus or someone hacking into my device lol idfk. But if you have nothing to live for there's a lot of money to be made on microworkers testing apps. Pro about mircroworkers: I always get my money. I don't cash out a lot because I avoid this site as much as possible lol but I always get my money and fairly quickly. Con: like ten dollar cash out, and when you reach your first cash out you have to wait like two weeks or some shit for microworkers to mail you a pin code for you to get your money lol like WHAT. But after that you get paid quickly on paypal or dwolla or whatever you choose. This site is worth a try. 

YouGov

Hate yougov lol. This is a ~~political survey site~~. Their surveys are so repetitive & redundant I be like BOY! This site CAN be fun though with the commenting and doing polls and whatnot, but tbh I am only here for the money idgaf about people's opinion on Hillary's back fat or whatever. It also, to me, seemed like it took too long to get enough points for my $25 CVS card. And then there's the fact that their rewards section is whack lol like a cvs card okay. I don't remember if they have paypal, but if they do it takes like a million points to get it so I never even tried. Also why does their $15 amazon card cost more points than the $25 cvs or walgreens card? YOU KNOW WHY!

PrizeRebel

Prizerebel is one of the sites you actually have to try at. For months I ignored this site because it just looked like a lot of SHIT. But then for some reason, I guess cuz they have paypal, I decided to try. I even did some activities outside of doing surveys, like signing up for shitty trials annnnddd that's basically it lol. Signing up to Lifescript a million times, etc. And I've made some money here. I think the most minimum cash out is two dollars, and that's for a few giftcards I think to places like amazon and some other shit I think. My usual cash out is a five dollar paypal card. This site is OKAY. It annoys me sometimes, and the trialpays only pay me half the time if not less, but...there's a lot to do. Kind of. I mean if my lazy ass has been able to regularly cash out, then...there's a lot to do. Def recommend trying this site out.

Clixsense

I feel like a lot of people say this site works well for them? For me, for my lazy ass, it's not the move. $9 cash out minimum, I've been signed up here for months, have only made a dollar. I never qualify for the surveys they have. It's been a waste of time so far, but I keep promising myself I'll actually try. Because sometimes sites require like a modicum of effort to get the coins coming in. But I haven't really tried yet. Also recently they had a security breach so tbh I'm prob done with this site.

Vindale Research

Have made like a dollar on this site? I never qualify for surveys. This site appears to be playing games, imo. They also offer weird "surveys" where you pay money to try a product or service and then I guess get paid after you try it or something. Paying to test shitty products, Vindale? lol, girl.

InboxDollars

$30 fucking cashout minimum. Ridiculous. I am at about $22 lol pleeez. If I ever get to thirty I am cashing out and never using this site again.

QuickRewards

The site I'm using the most right now. I'm prob bout to jinx it, but there are like a million surveys and I usually make a nice amount of money every week. Not like a nice amount, but a nice amount for doing surveys and for being lazy. What I like about this site is 1. has paypal 2. no cashout minimum. If you just made like thirty cents for the day you can cash out. I like cashing out thirty cents lol I am young wild and free. A lot of--pretty much all survey sites have cash out minimums. It's annoying because you'll have like eight dollars in an account on one site but they won't let you get your money til it hits ten. Lol bye. Quickrewards cuts all that nonsense and I am grateful. This is actually a get paid to site, but I don't do anything else besides surveys. If you go to the site don't be alarmed by how shitty it looks lol it's legit. I was def turned off by how janky and internet in 1988 it looked but I guess the quickrewards people were just like bitch just make ur little coins and go. They're not bothering with a fancy, non-Russian work camp aesthetic and I am completely fine with that! :)

Swagbucks (please)

This is a Get Paid To site. I primarily used this to do surveys, though. I don't like doing ~activities~ and clicking on ads and alladat shit. But if you're serious about making money on here, I suggest visiting reddit. Look up their "beermoney" subreddit and they also have like a subsubreddit just for swagbucks. There's a ton of tips and tricks on there for working this site. If I wasn't such a lazy bitch I'd hit that thread up, but like I said I want to do the least amount of work. Surveys aren't even super easy work, it's just the easiest for me. At least compared to all the other activities and tasks you can do on swag. I'm too lazy to figure the shit out so it works regularly for me. Sad lol. 

This was a great site for me for a while...and now it's not. At least survey-wise. They just fell off, idk. Also they started taking too long paying me? Not longlong. But I used to cash out and get my shit like the next day but it started being like three...then four than five days and I am already on so many sites I just stopped visiting them much. I'd rec this for people to try though it's one of the major get paid to sites, a lot of people use it and it's mostly legit. I also got a bunch of cool shit from here for product testing. Like I tested a fucking Keurig for three months from a survey I did on this site lol that was wild (sad). Def try swag you might have "fun" and get a nice amount of change if you are not lazy lol

MyPoints

Complete waste of time for me. I cashed out once but it took like three months to make enough to do so? I always disqualify from their surveys, but this site might work for someone else. This site has coupons and different things--To be honest I barely explored this site. I am VERY lazy and I want to do the bare minimum and easiest shit. But for less lazy hoes maybe you could eke out a fairly regular cashout from them.

MintVine

Now this site also does the two week wait to credit surveys, but when I first signed up I very quickly made enough to cash out ten dollars, and also they had paypal, so I guess this made me stay with the site. This site also gives you points even if you disqualify which can add up. Mintvine is pretty whack, though. Like I liked it at first, but now it's a mess. And the amount of time they take to pay you has increased. The first time I cashed out it took like three days to hit my paypal but now it takes a week or more and it's like bruh. I'm still using the site but I can see dipping completely from them soon

ClearVoice

Same as ipoll. Like two weeks plus for you to credit my account? There are so many other sites that credit and pay you immediately that sites like these just seem like a waste of time. The clearvoice surveys look interesting, though, but it's not worth it to me.

iPoll

Barely used this site because they were taking forever to "approve" my surveys. Some sites immediately credit you for surveys while others I guess want to check your answers to make sure they're legit? Which can take weeks. iPoll was taking forfuckingever to approve my shit so I just dipped.

ProductReportCard

Do not recommend. Had to harass the shit out of them to pay me. It was like twenty-six dollars lol don't ever make me get brolic over twenty-six dollars.

MySurvey

Second site I used. HATE this site lol. Now, they do pay. At one time I was making like $10 a month in amazon cards from them which is nothing but it was just cool to be making this money I could use to buy useless garbage on amazon. But pretty quickly it got old. I can't stand how the surveys are set up here, and honestly this site is pretty garbage and sometimes you'll complete a survey but there'll be a technical error and you won't get paid. I completely stopped using this site as it was annoying me too much, but you might like it lol. Has a lot of product testing so...that might be of interest.

Paid Surveys Online, and Get-Paid-Tos (The Good, the Bad, but MostlyMediocre)

So I've been exploring a ton of shitty ways to MAKE MONEY ONLINE. It's honestly the worst journey. One of the most accessible ways, I think--or at least that I've found so far--are paid survey and "get paid to" sites. There's a difference between survey panels and "get paid tos" - survey panels just provide you with surveys and typically, I guess, their surveys pay more (not by much, though). Get Paid Tos offer a bunch of different shit you can do to earn money like watching ads or signing up for trials or clicking on websites or whatever, while also providing surveys. Honestly I hate all of it lol. But sometimes it's cool. Like you get a "fun" survey about food or some shit. Or my fave, a survey that sends you a product to test at home. Usually the product is mad whack lol or in some nondescript ass packaging making you feel weird ass fuck for using it, but it can get interesting. Mostly, though, surveys are way too long for what they pay per min/hour, and mad tedious. But the more you do the better you get at ~navigating~ and figuring out what's worth it and what's not. Also completely ignore any ads or claims you see touting that survey sites will pay you a ton of money. FALSE! Though if you have common sense it's obvious but I get really annoyed when I see banner ads or posts on Tumblr like YOU WILL MAKE STACKS OF CASH. Lol, and as if. You make pocket change on literally everything, but the more you do it adds up. But not to a lot. Unless you're a good demographic or you lie a lot and work endlessly on shit, but even then it's still not a major payout. But a payout, nonetheless, and for my poor ass it's lit loljk i want.to.die:') 

I'm just going to talk about the sites I actually used and provide a link for you if you want to join. Bear in mind everyone has different experiences on these sites. So while I might say a site worked or did not work for me, it could be the opposite for you. You basically just have to try everything out and see what works for you.

First survey site I used. It didn't take me long to make enough points to cash out a $5 amazon gift card. I was skeptical of these survey sites thinking they were scams, but when I actually got paid I was like okay this is legit, cool. It was cool in the beginning with this site because I was just starting doing surveys, but the more sites I discovered and tried out, the less appealing Harris Poll became. I don't like their surveys, they're boring and I don't like the way they're set up or how long they take. Some are short but you can't really tell a lot going in which surveys will be short and which will be long as fuck. I kind of fell off from using this site because it just annoys me, but someone else might like it. They def pay, so it's worth a shot.

Beautifulhalo.com

What's the deal? I came across this site on Tumblr. You know those like advertising sort of fashion posts they have up there? I typically ignore that shit obviously but sometimes the Asian-looking ones, like with the weaboo type fashion shit please kill me, be looking CUTE AF. And I finally gave in to actually clicking on a link to one of those posts, and the link led me to beautifulhalo. 

They have THE cutest shit. I really wanted to buy a jacket/coat thing but it was like forty bux and I am both poor, and skeptical of giving that much money to some shit they promise will reach me no sooner than goddamn Thanksgiving, you know? So I decided to spend a little less money on some dark wash jegging things, which were about eighteen bucks. Thennnnnnn maybe a week later the store I purchased my jeans from just randomly reimbursed me my money without too much of an explanation. Which like what the fuck? I didn't get a sorry we're out of stock email or anything. It was really weird. The site is def sketchy imo, because you don't get like official e-mails on anything. I don't even recall if I got an e-mail after I put in my order. Very weird. Aliexpress at least hits you up every now and then.

My thing is, I'm stupid and I want to try to order from them again lol. They have the cutest shit. But should I maybe just stick to etsy to get weird, cutesy like panda backpacks or whatever the fuck? I want to know if anyone has ordered from them and had success but I doubt I'll be getting any responses lol because who reads this blog but I reaalllly want shit from here. Is this a fake site? Is their halo beautiful or is it a liar and a scammer? Is it just a dirty nuva ring??? To be determined...

$5 Heart-Shaped Sunglasses

Two of my most favorite things are
1. Heart-shaped sunglasses
2. Being a cheap ass bitch.

So I like going on amazon occasionally and dropping less than five dollars on a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses that takes like a month and some change to get to me, because they are coming from the end of the world. Or, like, China.

My most recent pair, a pair of black heart-shaped sunnies, cost about $4 and some change, and came from a shop called Sun Revival, which you can find here
I had these sunglasses...maybe under seven months? (not THAT bad) Before they broke. This happens a lot. My last pair, purple "Lolita" frames, also broke in the same or possibly less amount of time. With my purple sunnies the like...side thing came off lol wtf is it called. The part that holds the sunglasses up on your face omg what is that called. The stem? Whatever the little screw came out that holds it all together and it fell somewhere, I couldn't find it, so that was that. My black ones broke the other day on the heart frame part. Like the frame got a crack. In both these cases my lazy ass coulda just like super-glued them back together, I guess? But emphasis on lazy ass. I just decided to buy another pair. But this time I ordered a pair from what I think is a store based in America, but the sunnies cost more, about $12.95. Also they have not shipped them out yet and I see my payment to them has expired in my paypal account so idk wtf is going on there. If they don't send my shit out I'm fin to go back to my old trusted Chinese stores and dropping like four bucks and getting another pair that will break immediately and I'll be feeling dumb again. THEY'RE JUST SO CUTE AND CHEAP!! 

I don't want to sound offensive acting like ordering from China is like the worst shit, it's just...their products are so fucking cheap and like cheap for a reason usually. Or are they cheap because they're just like straight from the factory and the middleman is cut out and even if they were sold through like Forever 21 or H&M or some shit and jacked up like ten bucks they'd still break because they are cheap because they are plastic heart-shaped sunglasses??? Idk man I want all the colors though. Sigh. I think imma get a hot pink pair next :( help me :(

This is where I ordered my $13 dollar ones. They look like this 
they're cute but when the fuck they shipping them out sigh I'm so impatient and empty
