    Enter Crocs #SplashofColor Sweepstakes {CLOSED} #sponsored

    18 May 2013 / 0 Comments

    This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Crocs for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. If you’ve followed my In the Closet posts, you know that my wardrobe mostly consists of neutrals and earth tones. But every summer, I break out of that rut and start dressing to match the season. My color theory for summer is if you see it together in nature, you can wear it together on your body.

    CLOSED Yoplait Lactose Free Yogurt {Giveaway}

    6 March 2012 / 5 Comments

    And the winner is Lisa from It Keeps Getting Better! Congratulations, Lisa! When I was a little girl, we could barely keep milk in the house. I was a milk~a~holic. Then I hit my thirties and something awful happened. I suddenly became lactose intolerant. Can you imagine the heartbreak that I felt upon this discovery? Apparently, I’m not the only one. There are millions of people who can’t tolerate lactose, and when people can’t tolerate stuff they avoid it. Not good. But that has recently changed… I’d like to thank the people at Yoplait for thinking about all of us lactose intolerant people who still love dairy but hate the…

    Product Review and Giveaway: Olay Total Effects Body Wash (Closed)

    3 March 2010 / 22 Comments

    I’ll be celebrating my birthday in a week and I’m not thrilled because it puts me three years closer to the big 4~0. Yes, I’m already agonizing over that birthday. In fact, I’m fighting the aging process every step of the way and with everything that I can possibly muster. Well, you know, everything except going under the knife. As I’ve gotten older (and had to start scrolling through the decades to find my birth year on those danged survey forms), I’ve noticed little things starting to change ~ fine lines around the eyes and mouth, dry skin on the arms and legs, limited elasticity, ok, I can’t go on….…

    Sweepstakes: What’s Behind the World’s Best Coffees?

    2 March 2010 / 0 Comments

    My day begins at 5:30 AM and usually ends sometime around midnight. So how do I function? With copious amounts of coffee, of course. If I could have coffee fed to me through an IV, my life would be complete. Ok, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration but not by much. Over the years, I’ve had fun experimenting with coffees from different parts of the world but I can honestly say, some of my favorite coffees carry the 100% Columbian Coffee logo. Although you may not know the words, you know the logo ~ Juan Valdez and Conchita, his donkey. These two have come to symbolize the values that the organization…
