My Valentine's Day Surprise

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine ’s Day!

I waited until the very last minute to buy Valentine’s candy (I went out today) and I was so surprised how picked over Walmart was. They had VERY little name brand candy. Almost all of it was the candy that looks cute but you would never want to actually eat. I was able to find Hersey Kisses and Reese’s so I was happy about that. 

Possible Scentsy Giveaway!

So I am not sure if you know or not, but all Scentsy’s products are 10% off this month. I have been a huge Scentsy fan for over a year now and have never heard them have a sale before so I am super excited about that!

I am not a Scentsy seller (sounds like too much work to me!), but I am having an online party. The 10% off has really gotten me in the Scentsy mood. 

Giveaway & Review: GoodtoBeYou Bikini and Flip Flop Bag Set

I love shopping online. It is so nice to be able to sit at home and be able to shop whenever I want. Goodtobeyou.com is an online “getaway” boutique filled with wonderful and fabulous items for women. Goodtobeyou.com has jewelry, handbags, beauty products, travel goodies, problem solvers, and so much more! I love all the girly products they sell. They have such a great selection.

Signup For The Support New Bloggers Cash Giveaway

I am a new blogger. Started this blog only 4 months ago!  I have learned that participating in large giveaways with other bloggers is a great way to bring your page more exposure and gain new followers. The only bad thing is that getting paid for sponsored posts, advertising, etc. is a little slow as a new blogger. I have been lucky to have been contacted by companies early on, but lately it has been slow. 

Should I Get My Nails Done At A Salon?

This is the question I always ask myself. I always have nail polish on, so not wearing any polish is out of the question. I love it too much. But I can never decide if should spend the money every 2 weeks to get my nails done. 

Giveaway & Review: Beauty Spoon A Tool Every Woman Needs

I can’t tell you how frustrated I get when I buy a product and I cannot get all the lotion/gel/ etc out of the bottle. See how much lotion there is still left in the bottle? I am not able to get it out though because the pump does not allow me to pump it out. I actually have had the bottle for a year now because I did not want to throw it away. I just hated having to throw that much lotion out when I paid for it. 

I am excited to have learned about the Beauty Spoon. This is one of those products that after you learn about it, you realize you have needed something like this for a long time. It is the perfect tool to ensure you are able to use all of a product that you had bought! This is a must have item for all ladies.

Giveaway & Review: $50 Gift Certificate to NOVICA

When I found this site, I instantly loved it.  NOVICA reminds me of a local marketplace that you would visit if you went to another country. Except this online market place has handmade goods from all over the world at very good prices. NOVICA has silk scarves (like the one pictured below), paintings, jewelry, clothing, wrap bracelets, sculptures, and more! My favorite thing about NOVICA is that local artisans from all over the world the create the products. I like knowing that my money is going to help someone that needs it.

Giveaway & Review: EasyLunchBoxes Sysyem - Waste Free Lunch Boxes

 

Monday through Thursdays are the busiest days of the week for me. I have to work and take night classes. That means that I have to eat a lot of meals away from home. I will be honest; I have not been very good about packing my lunches and dinners. It is a pain to have to carry multiple things of Tupperware and if I put food in plastic bags it always seems to get smashed. 

Personalized Keychain from Wholesale Keychain: Giveaway & Review

I think that everyone that has a key for either their car or home has a keychain. Keys and keychains just go together. You cannot carry around a lose key. It needs to be attached to something. A key is just not complete without a keychain. 

Wholesale Keychain has a huge selection of of keychains. They offer many different types of keychains such as automobile, sports, pepper spray, bottle openers, hearts, entertainment, and Disney. What is really cool is that a lot of their products have the option to be personalized. 

The Thing I Dislike Most About Blogging

We all have something that we dislike most about blogging. If you are a blogger you know just how many things you have to do when it comes to your blog. You have to maintain your social media sites, promote your posts, network, pitch to companies, gain new readers, build relationships with other bloggers, come up with new ideas, etc etc. There is just so much that goes into running your own site. 

Kristine's Shower: Bath and Beauty Products

I love all kinds of girly products to pamper myself with. I think that is one of the great things about being a girl is that you can try yummy smelling products. Kristine’s Shower sells all sorts of products that you and your skin will love. This company sells bath bombs, aloe vera body whip, soap, sorbet, scrubs, and more!

Why Do I Keep Using Whitening Strips For My Teeth?

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

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

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.
