Must Haves For this Valentine's Day!

Valentine’s Day is a special day for you and your love one. I think it is great that we have a day like it.  It is so easy to get caught up in your typical daily routines, that you do not give your love one that attention he deserves. Valentine’s Day is a nice excuse to have a romantic night with your guy. It is a time where you can really remember why you fell in love.

Fun & Easy Canvas Design

This past week has been so hectic. School classes have started up again. I have only completed one week, but I feel like the classes are already kicking my butt! I know it will be difficult this semester trying to balance work, school, my family, working out, and this blog. So I wanted do take a little break today and do something I normally do not do. I do not do a lot of crafty activities, but I decided I wanted to today. It is really easy to make this project, and the canvases end up looking so cool!

FrizbeeGram: Say Goodbye to Boring Birthday Cards

Confession time: When I receive your traditional store bought birthday cards, they typically end up in the garbage. Now they are not thrown away the same day, but shortly after they end up in the trash. I know that is bad, but it is not something worth keeping just because it is not that memorable to me. SendaFrizbee.com is a company that offers a nontraditional birthday or greeting card in the form of a frizbee, which is both memorable and worth keeping.

How Was Your Day Today?

It has been such a warm winter here in Illinois. I actually have been walking and jogging outside this past week! The typically high around this time is in the 30s, so I have been really enjoying that. But I do LOVE snow. It is so pretty and beautiful. I had been starting to grow worry that I was never going to see any snow this year. The weather report said that last night and today we were supposed to receive 3 inches of snow.

PetCakes #Giveaway & Review 1/31

When I first heard of PetCakes, I remember thinking what could that be? I thought it must have been some food treat for cats and dogs. When I found out what it really was, I could not have been more wrong! PetCakes are deliciously cute stuffed animals. There is an adorable animal inside a cupcake wrapper. The series pictures below is the Forrest Animal Collection. It features a bear, panda, squirrel, and raccoon. If I had to pick a favorite of these four, I couldn't pick since they are all so cute!

 5. How much my shins can hurt: Yesterday and the day before yesterday it has been so unusually warm where I love (Illinois). Never before in January had I been able to go outside in sweats and a t-shirt. So for an hour each day I mostly walked but jogged some as well. My shins were not use to all that walking and jogging. They are still hurting today. They hurt even when I am just walking around the house today. I am going to do a cardio machine today, to give them a break.

Jooniebeads Treasures: Review (And Make Sure to Watch for the Giveaway)

I love jewelry. When it comes to my style, I do not know how to really describe it. I like original and unique pieces that make a statement. I guess I am not into your “traditional” pieces. So I am excited to tell you about JoonieBeads Treasures, because this Etsy shop is a jewelry lovers dream come true! Amy, the Etsy shop owner, creates all her own jewelry. But if Amy did not make a certain piece of jewelry, someone else in her family did. How cool is that!?

Different Ideas For Winter Family Fun

Winter Family Fun

Article submitted by Christina Johnson

The winter is a season that can really transform your world. On one hand, the pristine look of fresh snow is so beautiful that it cannot really be rivaled by any other season. On the other hand, the cold winds and blizzards can make it impossible for you to enjoy the same activities that you would enjoy during other seasons. You should not give up on family activities, however. There is still a lot of fun to be had with your children this year. Below are a handful of ideas that you can use to make this winter the best one that you can remember for your entire family. 

GlassesUSA.com {Plus Discount Code}

I have worn glasses since I was a little girl. I love how many different styles, colors and options there are out there for glasses. I have always purchased glasses from the eye doctor each year, and I do not like having to do that! Even after insurance, the glasses cost me at least $200. Plus, I am only eligible for one pair a year. That is way too expensive for me and I do not like having only one pair.

Are You A Lucky Winner?

The winner of the My Memories Digital Scrap booking Software is… 

Alpha Hydrox: Foaming Face Wash And Enhanced Lotion

When it comes to my beauty routine, there are some things I do every day religiously. One of those things is taking care of my face. I have such oily and acne prone skin. If I do not take care of it each day, I feel like my skin retaliates at me with breakouts. Alpha Hydrox is great beauty company that sells different products for every age and skin type.

Invitation for Great Reward Sites

My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software

I have been using My Memories software a lot over these past couple of weeks. I am always amazed by all the possibilities and options the software has. What I really like about this program is that you pay a onetime charge for buying the software and then that is it! You get premade pages, backgrounds, fonts, embellishments, stickers, and so much more. Every time you want to make a traditional scrapbook page, you have to buy the paper, letters, print your pictures, stickers, etc. It is very expensive!

Eden Gives Back: A Company That Really Cares

I really like companies that give back to the community. It shows that they really care and want to help out. EdenFantasys has a program called EdenGivesBack. This is not your average program that gives back to the community. This company actually listens to their community members for ideas on how to give back. How cool is that!

LettersFromElise - Show Your Love the Old Fashion Way (Review)

Even with all the technology we have, there are still times where I send hand written cards. I was raised that way, and the tradition has stuck with me. For Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, birthdays, and anniversaries I send cards to certain people. And thank you cards too! I just feel that they are much more personal and mean more to someone than just an email. It shows you took time to handwrite something, which you do not see much of it seems.

When I receive a homemade card from someone, I always save it. I think homemade cards are really personal. I just love cards that people made themselves instead of buying a pack of cards from the store. This is why I was excited when I received a card from LettersFromElise. She takes beautiful pictures and turns them into cards.

For When You Can't Fedex It....

I love the internet, because it makes finding the best price for something a piece of cake. It takes just a few clicks to discover the lowest price out there for items, especially high priced ones. Car shopping is definitely something you want to research. I never like going to car dealerships, because I feel pressured and I just do not know if the price is good or not (even though the salesmen will tell you it’s a bargain). I always use car sites to find the best value. I love that I am not limited to just cars in my local area anymore due to all the technology we have.

We are ladies and we should have soft, beautiful feet. I am excited to introduce Spongeables PEDI SCRUB Foot Buffer - A Spa for Your Feet.

Dear Lovely Readers

I am sorry for being so absent over this past week! I took a 9 day trip to Cancun, Mexico. I was hoping to have some time to work on my blog, but I would have had to pay to use the internet. I just could not bring myself to do that, so that is why I have been gone for some time. Do not worry though. I will have a lot of new reviews and giveaways posted in the next couple days. Make sure you do not miss out on that!

Merry Christmas - Comments and Glitter Graphics!

Also, Merry Christmas everyone. I hope your day is wonderful and you have a great time with your loved ones.
