00:00 Coffee break with me.
00:02 Woo!
00:03 Hi guys!
00:04 Welcome back to my channel.
00:05 How are you today?
00:06 So I asked you guys on Instagram if you wanted me to do a clothing haul and you said yes.
00:15 It's a little different from what I do on this channel because normally I stick to beauty
00:20 or eating on Saturdays sometimes, rarely, but I do.
00:26 So a lot of you were like, "Yeah, yeah, do it.
00:27 You get the cutest shirts and stuff."
00:28 Listen, my style is super comfortable, like really comfortable.
00:35 I don't think I ever went through a skimpy or sultry sexy phase.
00:40 I never went through a tight phase.
00:43 I never had any of those phases.
00:45 I went from tomboy to cute comfortable.
00:49 And so once I had my kids, I didn't have an option because now I have to chase boys around
00:55 and four dogs and you know what I mean?
00:58 I was a high school teacher.
01:00 I can't be hanging out all over the place when you're teaching high school kids.
01:04 And so I just developed this really comfortable style.
01:08 You know, it's cute.
01:09 Usually it's just cotton.
01:11 It's clothes that I can wash and dry, wash and dry, wash and dry.
01:15 It doesn't need special care.
01:16 And Kohl's is my place.
01:18 And before you guys think I'm sponsored by Kohl's, I'm not.
01:23 Call me Kohl's.
01:25 You know my number?
01:26 No?
01:27 Okay.
01:28 Kohl's needs to know my declaration of love because Kohl's is my jam.
01:36 I discovered Kohl's on accident.
01:38 In fact, my mom was the one that was like, "Oh my God, they're opening a new store called
01:42 Kohl's."
01:43 When I lived in San Diego and I was like, "What is that?"
01:45 And we just thought it was like a Mervyn's.
01:50 Ever since Kohl's came into my life, like I don't know.
01:52 I don't know where I would buy my clothes if it weren't for Kohl's, basically.
01:57 So what I thought I would do is I would kind of mesh two things that I really love together,
02:01 teach you one of my tricks on saving money, and show you a clothing haul.
02:06 So if you guys just want to see the clothes, I'm going to put an annotation on to where
02:10 you can, like to where to skip to if you don't want to hear this little how to save money
02:14 bit.
02:15 But this video is to kind of tell you how I save money shopping at Kohl's.
02:21 And it's kind of awesome.
02:25 So basically there's a website called Ebates.
02:27 And this video is not sponsored by Ebates, by the way, either.
02:30 This is going to sound like it's a Kohl's and Ebates sponsorship, isn't it?
02:34 It's not.
02:35 Sponsor me, please.
02:36 No.
02:37 So basically I shop on Ebates.
02:38 And Ebates is like a rebate website.
02:43 It's free to sign up.
02:44 It's not a gimmick.
02:46 It's not a trap or anything like that.
02:47 There's no fee.
02:48 There's no membership.
02:49 Nothing.
02:50 You basically register on Ebates, right?
02:53 You register an account with an email, whatever.
02:56 And every time you're going to shop online, you go to Ebates first, find the retailer,
03:02 click on them, and then do your shopping, and then you get money back.
03:06 If you are a person that forgets, let's say you're like me where you forget everything.
03:10 Like sometimes I'm like, am I wearing a bra?
03:13 Like what the heck?
03:14 No.
03:15 And so if you forget, there's a way to install a little toolbar or a little clicky button,
03:22 a little toolbar, a little button on your browser.
03:24 It doesn't matter if you have Google Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer.
03:29 There is a button for you.
03:30 You install it, and whenever you're eligible for cash back, it'll blink or it'll have a
03:36 banner across the top, and it'll tell you how much money you're going to get back if
03:41 you shop using Ebates.
03:42 It's crazy, you guys.
03:45 But I am an instant gratification fool, so I like to get my stuff right away.
03:53 And now Kohl's is doing in-store pickup.
03:55 I love when stores do in-store pickup, especially with two kids, because by the time I get in
04:02 and out and shopping with kids, it's crazy.
04:05 So it's so easy for me to be like, yo, Mr. Man, can you stay with the kids for like 20
04:09 minutes while I go to Kohl's shopping?
04:11 And he's like, 20 minutes?
04:12 I'm like, boo, I got this.
04:13 I go, I pick it up, and I come home, and he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going
04:17 on here?
04:18 And I'm like, in-store pickup, sucka.
04:20 So I go online, I do my shopping, I use Ebates, I get my money back, and I get my stuff the
04:25 same day.
04:26 It's a trick that I recently discovered.
04:28 Right now Ebates is doing back-to-school sales, so if you need to shop for clothes or whatever,
04:34 there are a ton of retailers participating.
04:36 I will have them listed in the description box below, because I get their email, and
04:40 their email says, oh, back-to-school promotions, these are the retailers.
04:43 So I will list those in the description box below, and I think they're going on for about
04:47 two weeks in August.
04:49 So yeah, that's Ebates for you.
04:51 If you guys are interested in signing up for Ebates, I will leave a link in the description
04:55 box below for you guys to sign up, and it's awesome.
04:59 You'll thank me later.
05:00 I love, for the record, I love when you guys tweet me pictures of your big fat check.
05:06 That's what it's called when you get paid.
05:08 It's called a big fat check, and you guys will send me tweets or Instagram pictures
05:13 of your very first check.
05:15 It's so exciting.
05:16 It's like I'm getting money.
05:19 I get happy with you guys.
05:20 That's the truth.
05:21 But if you don't want to get a check in the mail, you can also get PayPal, or you could
05:25 get Target gift cards, Amazon gift cards.
05:28 It's pretty awesome.
05:29 I'm just going to say that.
05:30 So let me show you what's in this little guy.
05:34 I'm actually wearing one of the shirts right now, and this is like a hamsa, a Fatima's
05:41 hand, or like a hamsa, which is kind of like the Turkish eye, where it's for protection
05:47 or warding off the evil eye or people's negative intentions.
05:50 And I like this shirt because it's cotton, but I also like it because, you see the back?
05:55 It's like a sheer paisley type material.
05:58 I'll insert a little clip here in case you guys are interested in seeing what it looks
06:01 like without me moving all weird and stuff.
06:04 Anyway, the reason I like to shop at Kohl's is one, because I still fit into the Juniors
06:08 clothes and the Mrs. clothes.
06:11 In the Mrs. I usually shop for like Lauren Conrad, Elle, Apartment 9, J. Lo has a brand.
06:19 And then in the Juniors I like to get the Vera Wang.
06:23 Actually I don't know the brands of the Juniors.
06:25 I just kind of shop around.
06:26 But in the Juniors I'm a large, and in the Mrs. I'm a small.
06:30 So it's a big difference between the...
06:37 Let me just move on.
06:38 Some of the stuff that I got was actually out of stock at my local Kohl's, so I had
06:45 to ship it to me.
06:47 And then other stuff I picked up in store.
06:49 So let me show you guys first some shorts that I got.
06:54 And these that I got are mostly for at home.
06:57 Well, they are for at home.
06:58 I would never go out with shorts, these short.
07:00 But they're so comfortable that I was like, "Yes, I need these."
07:04 And the cool thing about Kohl's too is that they do cash back, and they do rewards, and
07:09 they do...
07:10 You get stat coupons.
07:11 I mean, it's crazy all the deals that you can get.
07:14 You never pay full price.
07:16 These are kind of like sweatpants, but in shorts.
07:19 It has like the fake pockets, so it gives you dimension, like you actually have like
07:22 hips.
07:23 And I really like them.
07:25 They shrink a lot in the wash.
07:27 These are juniors shorts, so I get them in large.
07:30 And I also get bottoms usually in large just because of the inseam, because I'm so tall.
07:36 I'm 5'11", in case you guys are wondering.
07:38 I know a lot of you guys think I'm like super petite, but mm-mm.
07:42 Amazonian over here.
07:43 So these are one of the shorts.
07:44 I have these in gray already, so I already knew I was gonna love them.
07:48 And then I also got these blue ones.
07:51 Look how cute these are.
07:53 And then look at the lace on the side.
07:56 So they're still comfortable in like lounge type wear, but they're so girly, you know
08:01 what I mean?
08:02 Let me show you these.
08:03 These are the ones, the same, but in gray.
08:07 I love gray.
08:08 I wish I could live in like gray sweats and gray t-shirts.
08:11 These are originally priced at $24, but I think I got them for like $9.
08:15 Kohl's is one of those stores where you should never pay full price.
08:20 It's always on sale.
08:22 Then I showed you guys, where is that shirt?
08:28 Don't judge me, but it's dirty and I didn't have time to wash it to show it to you guys
08:33 because I wore it yesterday.
08:37 This is the shirt that I showed you guys on Instagram and it says, "Coffee is my spirit
08:41 animal."
08:42 How cute is that?
08:43 Isn't that precious?
08:44 I love this shirt.
08:45 And it's that really, really thin, almost like recycled cotton material.
08:51 This is from the Juniors.
08:53 Then I got this shirt from the Mrs. Department.
08:57 This is going to be in a small.
08:59 This is from the brand, Apartment 9.
09:02 It says, "Coffee first."
09:04 It's like one of those loose but form-fitting type t-shirts.
09:11 It has almost like the looser area here, but it tapers down on the waist, so it gives you
09:16 a little bit more definition.
09:17 But I love the color.
09:20 You've heard me talk about gray.
09:21 Then I'm a huge fan of the Lauren Conrad brand, or LC, Lauren Conrad at Kohl's.
09:27 It's a little bit more expensive than the other stuff at Kohl's, but she has the cutest,
09:31 most feminine tops ever.
09:34 This is a tank top and it has a keyhole in the back.
09:37 It was so cute, I had to get it in another color.
09:41 I'm one of those people where if I find something I like, I get it in multiple colors.
09:46 Do you do that?
09:47 This is like a turquoise blue type shade.
09:52 The LC brand runs really large, so keep that in mind.
09:57 Another item from Lauren Conrad that I got, this is one of my in-store pickups, is this
10:04 navy blue t-shirt.
10:05 How cute is that?
10:06 You see how the lace is sheer?
10:09 But it's cotton, so you could throw this in the washer, in the dryer, dry it.
10:14 It's super cute.
10:15 Then I got a cute t-shirt from J.Lo, or the Jennifer Lopez brand.
10:20 It's a salmon shade, but look at the details on the sleeve.
10:23 Isn't that precious?
10:24 It has a studded sleeve.
10:26 That is so cute.
10:29 I love the length too.
10:30 It's long enough where you can tuck it in, or if you bend over, your butt's not going
10:35 to show.
10:36 I hate that.
10:37 You know when you bend over and your pants fall down?
10:40 This is going to give you some safety.
10:44 Because we're transitioning into the fall, how exciting, I wanted to get some sweaters.
10:51 Is it too early?
10:52 Probably, but I couldn't resist.
10:55 Look at how cute these are.
10:58 This is like a crochet cardigan, and it's from Lauren Conrad.
11:01 Look at the sleeve.
11:02 How cute is that?
11:04 And I got it in another color, of course.
11:09 I got it in white and in blue.
11:12 Isn't it precious?
11:13 It is.
11:14 It totally is.
11:15 I know you guys.
11:16 And then the last thing that I got was a big, fluffy, slouchy sweater, and it's like a peach
11:20 color.
11:21 Look how pretty that is.
11:22 And look at the sleeves.
11:23 I love really long sleeves.
11:26 And it's like those really loose cable knit sweaters, so you could kind of do the off
11:31 the shoulder.
11:32 Oh, it's so precious.
11:33 I absolutely love it.
11:34 I do think this is probably my favorite purchase of everything.
11:38 I'm lying.
11:39 It's the one I'm wearing.
11:40 So that is it for this back to school/clothing haul/I love Kohl's/you need to sign up for
11:47 Ebates/video.
11:48 I hope you guys enjoyed it.
11:49 Let me know if you like this type of video.
11:50 It's kind of random.
11:51 I know it's not beauty, but it is a little piece of me, and I really hope you guys enjoyed
11:57 it.
11:58 I leave a little piece of me in all my videos, so I really hope you guys feel it.
12:02 I love to save money, and I love to share my knowledge on how I save money.
12:09 And when someone tells me that they save money with something that I taught them, that even
12:14 makes me more happy.
12:16 So I thought I would do like two things that make me happy in one video, Kohl's and Ebates.
12:22 I hope you guys liked it.
12:23 Anyway, I will leave a link for Ebates down below.
12:26 No strings attached.
12:27 All you have to do is sign up, and remember to use it when you're online shopping.
12:31 You guys, you get cash back at Target, Nordstrom, Sephora, Ulta.
12:35 I mean, all the retailers that you shop at offer you cash back.
12:39 It's amazing.
12:40 So if you don't want to see it as you're getting cash back, think about it like you're getting
12:45 a reverse sale.
12:46 Instead of the item that you're purchasing being on sale, you'll get the sale price after
12:51 the fact.
12:52 So normally, Sephora doesn't have sales, and if you wanted to shop at Sephora, you'll get
12:57 3% cash back, 8% cash back.
13:00 So you're going to get money for shopping somewhere where you were going to shop anyway,
13:05 and you're still going to save money.
13:06 So not to mention that you get paid four times a year, so when you get that check, it's totally
13:12 unexpected and you're like, "What?"
13:14 It's a paycheck.
13:15 You got paid for shopping.
13:16 Hey.
13:17 Anyway, let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
13:20 Let me know if you use Ebates, what's the biggest big fat check that you've gotten.
13:27 Let us know.
13:28 I'm excited.
13:29 I want to know.
13:30 Spill the beans.
13:31 Let us know in the comments.
13:32 If you use Ebates, let us know in the comments, because I know some of you might be like,
13:35 "Mmm, this sounds like a scam."
13:37 So if you're skeptical, read the comments.
13:39 I'm sure there's a ton of us that use Ebates, and you're like, "Yeah, girl.
13:43 Ebates is where it's at."
13:45 So let us know your thoughts in the comment section below, and as always, if you found
13:49 this video useful, entertaining, or learned something, please give me a thumbs up or subscribe
13:53 if you haven't already, and until next time, this coffee break is over.
13:56 Bye, guys.
13:57 (upbeat music)
13:59 (upbeat music)
