Let’s be real – taking care of yourself can get *expensive*. Between stocking up on skincare favorites, indulging in wellness products, or grabbing those superfood supplements you swear by, it’s easy to feel like your self-care routine is burning a hole in your wallet. But here’s the good news: saving money doesn’t mean sacrificing the things that keep you glowing and thriving. Tools like Rakuten and Honey can help you shop smart and stretch your budget without giving up on your beauty, wellness, and health essentials. Let me show you how!
The Magic of Rakuten
Rakuten (formerly known as Ebates) is basically your cashback BFF. You shop at your favorite stores, and Rakuten gives you a percentage of what you spend back in cold, hard cash. Sounds too good to be true? I promise, it’s free.
Here’s how it works:
1. Sign up for Rakuten (it’s free!)
2. Shop through their app or browser extension at stores you already love
3. Earn cashback on every qualifying purchase
4. Get your cashback via PayPal or check
What makes Rakuten even better is that they partner with so many beauty and wellness stores. Think Sephora, Ulta, iHerb, and even clean beauty brands like Credo. So while you’re stocking up on your favorite serum or splurging on that massage oil set, you’re also earning money back. It’s like a little high-five for taking care of yourself!
Why Honey is a Must-Have
Honey is another game-changer. This little browser extension works behind the scenes to find and apply the best promo codes to your cart. You don’t have to go hunting for discount codes or wonder if you’re missing out on a deal – Honey does the hard work for you.
Let’s say you’re buying organic supplements or a new jade roller. Honey will scan the web for any active coupons and automatically apply the best one at checkout. Bonus points if you use Honey Gold (their rewards program) to earn points you can redeem for gift cards. It’s like saving double!
Combining Rakuten and Honey for Maximum Savings
Now here’s the real magic: you can use Rakuten and Honey together. First, activate Rakuten to earn cashback, then let Honey find you discounts. The combination means you’re saving upfront and earning cashback later. Imagine grabbing your go-to moisturizer or a stash of protein powders for less AND getting a little rebate after. Win-win, right?
Staying True to Your Wellness Goals
What I love most about Rakuten and Honey is that they let you stick to your wellness goals without the guilt of overspending. Investing in your health and beauty is important, but so is keeping your finances healthy. These tools make it easier to prioritize both.
Here are a few tips to make the most of your savings:
- Plan your purchases around Rakuten’s double cashback promotions.
- Use Honey to track price drops on high-ticket items (like that skincare gadget you’ve been eyeing!).
- Combine cashback with store sales for the ultimate deal.
Treat Yourself Without Breaking the Bank
At the end of the day, taking care of yourself should feel good – not stressful. With Rakuten and Honey, you can treat yourself to the beauty, wellness, and health essentials you love while being smart about your spending. It’s all about balance, and these tools help you find it.
So, next time you’re ready to restock your wellness stash or try that trending beauty product, give Rakuten and Honey a go. Your wallet (and your future self) will thank you. Because self-care doesn’t just mean glowing skin or a healthy body – it’s about financial wellness, too.
Lots of Love, J
