Sign up and win this gorgeous necklace
This month we will launch the A Girl Must Shop Newsletter which will feature even more goodies and information on new items, sales and stuff going on at A Girl Must Shop. We'd like everyone to sign up for our monthly newsletter, so we're giving away this gorgeous Amoeba necklace from The Starving Artist Bazaar to one lucky newsletter subscriber at the end of this month. If all goes well, we hope to give away a new item each month to a random newsletter subscriber.
Tara wore it last week and received a gazillion compliments. Here's what she has to say about it:
"These beautiful, hand-made accessories make a great statement to any outfit! I love the Teal & Blue Amoeba pendant, which allows me to perfect that artsy, eclectic look without spending too much or trying too hard. The Amoeba jewelry is all made from lampworked Moretti glass, and are available in a variety of styles and colors. Wear one of these unique pieces and you'll receive compliments all day long!"

Win money and prizes by using Blingo as your search engine!
Once upon a time I used to surf all day and get nothing in return. now, I get money and prizes!

03/19/06 - Movie Ticket
03/07/06 - $149 Visa Gift Card
That's over $450 in prizes in less than two years, and all I do is use Blingo to search the Internet instead of Google or Yahoo. And the cool thing about Blingo is that you can refer your friends and if they win you win the same thing they do!
All you have to do is sign up:
Then start searching!
TIPS: How to win on Blingo:
Make Blingo your homepage.
Then, when your browser opens up you can just type the name of the site that you want to visit and you're up and running.
- (Internet Explorer) Make Blingo Your Home Page
- Go to the Tools menu and choose Internet Options.
- See the box marked Home Page? Type "www.blingo.com" in the address box.
- Click OK.
- Now every time you open Internet Explorer or click on the "Home" icon, you'll go to Blingo!
- (Firefox) Make Blingo Your Home Page
- The easiest way is to drag this link (Blingo home page) onto your "Home" button.
- On Windows, choose Options from the Tools menu. On a Mac, choose Preferences from the Firefox menu.
- Click the General category.
- See the box marked Home Page? Type "www.blingo.com" in the location box.
- Click OK.
Add Blingo to Your Search Box
- (Internet Explorer 7) Add Blingo to your Search Box
You can easily add Blingo to the handy search box at the top of every Internet Explorer 7 window.
- Click this link to add Blingo to your list of search providers.
- Check the box to Make this my default search provider.
- Click Add Provider.
- Now when you type keywords into the search box and hit return, your search will go to Blingo!
- (Firefox) Add Blingo to your Quick Search Box
You can easily add Blingo to the handy search box at the top of every Firefox window.
- Click this link to add Blingo to your list of providers.
- Select Blingo from the pull-down list in the search box.
- Now when you type keywords into the search box and hit return, your search will go to Blingo!
-
If you'd like to remove Blingo from your list of search engines, just go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins (or on a Mac go to Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/...), remove blingo.src and blingo.gif, and restart Firefox.
Invite your friends!
Every time you win something on Blingo the person who invited you to Blingo wins something. Now if you invite someone to join and then join and they win, you win the same prize they do. That's why it pays to invite people, because the more people you invite and the more searching we all do, the more likely we all are to win!
Keep in mind that only the person who invited you wins the same prize as you. So if I invited you and you invited a friend and your friend wins, only you and your friend the the prize; not me. And if I win a prize, the people I invited don't win the same prize, only the person who invited me.
Use it for everything!
The first time I won a prize on Blingo I was searching for Wikipedia. Of course, I knew the address of wikipedia, but I just typed the word into Blingo to use it as a search because some days I don't have a whole lot to search for and I figure every search is one search closer to winning.
Do remember, however that only your first 25 searches of the day count. So it doesn't make a lot of sense to search just to try to win, just use it to go to different web sites and to search. That's how I win!
Sign up and start winning!
Then start searching!
Good Luck!

Hi my is Megan and I'm a shopaholic
It's true! I can't help myself! But for once I think my addiction may actually help me win money (instead of spending it!)
Check it out - the Shopping Confessions Video Contest is
searching for the best video "confessions" from people
who just can’t resist that new pair of expensive shoes, the front row
concert tickets, the $300 designer jeans but then hide the purchases or
lie about the value to their significant others or families.
The best confession will win $20,000,
right in time for the holiday shopping season, and there will be 4
weekly winners of $1,000 each.
Check out the official site for all the details. Contest ends November 26, 2007.
