Why Do I Keep Using Whitening Strips For My Teeth?



Photobucket


We all have that one part of ourselves that we pay extra special attention to. For me, it is my teeth. I always brush them twice a day and use the little floss picks at night. Plus all day long I am making sure I have no food or anything stuck in them. I am also obsessed with having the whitest teeth I possibly can. Now I cannot afford to receive any professional treatment at the dentist’s office, so I use at home products instead. 

Giveaway and Review: Savvycents Wallet


Photobucket

I am excited to share with you the Savvycents wallet that is made for the fashionably frugal. I have been through so many wallets. I feel that each wallet I end up buying, there is something that is just missing from what I  am I needing. Savvycents is created by a mom that figured out exactly what women are needing. I am so happy that I found a wallet that fits all my needs!

I Have My Own Custom Domain Now!


I knew that if I was serious about blogging, I was going to have to buy my own custom url domain. I am a complete beginner when it comes to the technical stuff though. For some reason, I just decided to buy a custom domain from Go Daddy. This purchase was a total impulse buy. It was only $10 for the year, so I had to buy it. I originally wanted theladieslounge.com but I was not going to pay a whopping $2000 for it each year! So I decided on theladiesloungeblog.com for $10. I have seen a lot of negative reviews for Go Daddy these past couple months, but I like I said I just impulsively bought the custom domain. I am not worried that anything will fail, but I should have done more research.

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


PhotobucketConfession 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?




Photobucket

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




Photobucket


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!?

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}



Photobucket

PhotobucketI 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.

Alpha Hydrox: Foaming Face Wash And Enhanced Lotion




Photobucket

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.

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!
