Sleeping Well with our Minky Couture Blanket

If you have children, I'm sure that at least one of them has a "lovey," whether it be a blanket, stuffed animal, or some other well loved toy, that they carry around with them, day after day, and they refuse to let you wash them, or even take them away without some sort of tantrum.  My 11 year old had a stuffed bear. He loved that bear and called it Pokey. It is still on his bed and has lost all of his stuffing because of how often my son slept with it and played with it. If you haven't found your children's "lovey," I think I may have found something that they'll enjoy. Minky Couture was started in 2009, by Sandi Henry.  She started … [Read more...]

May 28, 2013 by 2 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tree Hut for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. It is summer and that means more heat.  That always means more skin showing so you need to make sure your skin is looking great!

This is one of my favorite times to watch television. It seems like every other week there is a new award show to watch and I LOVE award shows. In my opinion there is nothing to not like about them. They are super entertaining. There are always great acts and great hosts so even if you aren't up on popular culture or even know half the people being given awards you can still have a good time watching.  My favorite award show is the Grammys.  I like the Oscars as well but who doesnt?  According to Merci Chocolates one of the highlights of these annual star-studded evenings is listening to the emotional and meaningful thank you … [Read more...]

Athletech Women's Reversible Puffy Jacket

When I was a kid, going to Kmart was a tradition. It was something my grandmother and I did every year and she would let me help her pick out the toys for all the younger grandkids before she put them on layaway.  Not having a Kmart around is one of the reasons I miss living where I used to. I am super close to the Sears now but there is just something about going into the Kmart from my childhood that is awesome.  I take my mom when I go visit her a couple of times a month though.  They always have the best deals near the holidays and they have a great layaway policy! I recently heard about three really amazing Kmart Holiday deals starting … [Read more...]

I recently got the chance to review another great bra from Leading Lady. Some of you may remember the review that I did for a Leading Lady Full Figure Bra. This time I got the review the Cotton Front-Closure Leisure Bra in a very cute pink! I love it because I can sleep in it and its so comfortable.  It is such a comfortable bra that it has been named the most comfortable bra in America.  I can really see why. I am usually uncomfortable sleeping in a bra but I do it anyways because being blessed in the chest area, its also really uncomfortable to sleep without one.  You can also use this bra as a nursing bra because its so stretchy, it … [Read more...]

Rocking the 80′s with #Brandcation

October 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment

On our last night at Brandcation, we got the chance to have fun rocking the 80's with our sponsor Flashing Blinky Lights. They provided us with the means to have a super awesome 80's party. We had lots of snacks like chips, several kinds of dips, candy from the 80's and fun party favors.  We also had pizza from Flatbread Pizza. I tried to do rainbow eyeshadow. I think I did pretty well. This is my complete outfit. I was rocking the 80's like I was actually in that decade. Which I was but not for very long. I love the 80's thoug because of the awesome music! My children really loved the ring I brought home from Flashing Blinky … [Read more...]

Ever since I learned about mineral makeup, I have not went back to the old stuff. I love mineral loose power the most. Its practically the only reason I remember to use moisturizer. In fact, before I was shown mineral makeup by my friend Jamie who is a makeup artist and one of my reviewers, I had NEVER used moisturizer before.  That is a thing of the past now though. I may not wear makeup everyday but I do take care of my skin.  I was recently given the chance to try out some makeup from Mia Mariu and thought I would show you how glamorous it was! Before makeup. Very scary sight. I am so dorky, I can barely ever smile without looking … [Read more...]
