Who doesn't love free stuff and discounts at your favorite stores? October is my birthday month and I took advantage of some freebies and crazy good discounts. I researched a lot of places that offer the best birthday deals and these made my top 5.

I took advantage of this treat as an avid coffee lover. Sign up for Starbucks Rewards for free and download the app on your phone. You will get a free beverage of your choice on your birthday. I also couldn't resist getting my dog Beans his favorite "puppuccino" (whip cream).
You get $50 to spend during the month of your birthday! You have to spend at least $100 to take advantage of this, but still! It is valid the whole month of your birthday. Sign up online to receive emails. It will ask for your birth date. Watch your email for a code to use online. It can also be redeemed in a Tory Burch store.
This was my favorite one. You get 50% off any 1 piece of jewelry during your birthday month. No need to sign up for anything! Just walk into the store and show your government ID! You can't do it online so hopefully there is a Kendra Scott store near you.
I had so much fun visiting the Color Bar, where you can design your own jewelry and handpick the stone you want. I went with the simple but elegant Elisa Pendent Necklace.
For all my makeup and beauty geeks out there! If you haven't already, sign up for the

I went with one of my favorite makeup lines TARTE COSMETICS and got a liquid lipstick in color "birthday suit" and a blush in color "paaarty." Cute. I see what the did there.
