DFW Chevy Ambassadors Program

We wanted to alert you to an opportunity for DFW-area women bloggers! 

The North Texas Chevy Dealers are looking for socially connected women who are enthusiastic about the Chevy brand and have either driven or currently drive a Chevy. 

Every three months, beginning in June, the program will work with five Chevy Girls. 

The program requirements are:
  • Place an ad on your blog for the three month time period
  • Tweet 3x per week and share on Facebook 2x per week
  • Write one blog post during the three-month timeframe. 
The North Texas Chevy Dealers run a lot of promotions and sweepstakes to keep things fun. Ambassadors will receive guidance on what to promote and will be updated weekly with what’s going on.

You can check out the North Texas Chevy Dealers on Facebook and Twitter. 

Click here to apply for the program. 

For compensation information or any other questions, you can email me! 

And if you know of any other opportunities for DFW bloggers, be sure to let us know so we can share the love!

Wittlbee Box

We finally received our first Wittlebee box!  Yay!  I was so excited about this because it was a surprise….you don’t know what you are going to get.  Wittlebee is a site where you answer questions about your child: size, age, style, color choices.  Then a stylist will talk with you about what you like.  You pay $19.99 and get a box full of clothing each month!

For the $19.99 price I believe you have to use a coupon code: “50“

Here is what Connor boy got:

He was really into trying on his Daddy’s boots from Iraq.  It was so funny!

We got this plaid shirt, which I love, but I can’t remember the brand…it’s not something I have heard of.  It’s really cute on him and well made.

 Kenneth Cole swim shorts for summer
 Knit shorts from Carters & Children’s Place
 Gray polo and plaid shorts from Children’s Place
Two solid t-shirts from American Apparel
They were very soft cotton

I was very pleased with my first box and I think we got a lot of cool stuff for $20 bucks!  Thank you Wittlebee!!!

(Wittlebee has no idea I’m talking about them…I just think this is too cool!)

Dressing for your Shape

I’m no fashion expert, but I do know what I like and what is comfortable.  I’m not exactly where I want to be right now as far as weight and how I look in clothing.  I tend to gravitate towards lose pants and blousy tops.  They are very forgiving, and thank goodness they are in style right now.  But I’ve also been asked if I’m expecting before….by the way….NEVER ask that. Ever. 

That’s why you have to be careful when wearing stuff like this! I don’t want to wear skin tight tops that show my muffin top, but I don’t want to look like a tent either….
Blousy tops are in. It doesn’t mean you are about to pop out a kid yo!
I have a curvy figure and unfortunately a Kardashian booty.  (Without the itty bitty waste) :/

Below is a style board I created.  It’s things I would probably pick out while shopping.  It doesn’t necessarily mean I would get THESE items.  I usually shop at TJMaxx or Marshall’s to try and get the “look for less”.  If I want to splurge I’ll go to the Anthropologie sale room.  Everything goes on sale people…everything.  It will eventually go on sale, and trust me you’ll be kicking yourself when you see a top you go 2 weeks later for 50% off.  Soft, flowy,and breezy describes my summer style.  And a little bit of stretch in a pant never hurt either 😉

Also-pairing with a statement necklace or fun colorful jewelry is fun too!

{As Seen on Shark Tank}

Have ya’ll seen the TV show Shark Tank?  It’s on Friday nights and it’s one of mine and Terence’s favorite shows.  A couple weeks ago they had a toddler sippy cup on called “Lollacup“.

Oh my gosh the idea is ingenius!  It’s a sippy cup with a flexible straw & has a weighted end that anchors it in the liquid, so young children can drink effectively even when the cup is tilted.  Why can’t I think of things like this???

Anyway, after the show ended I got online and ordered one.  We love it so far and it works perfectly.  The straw stays weighted in the water, so no matter how your child tilts the cup they are able to drink every last drop!  Amazeballs!

 You can also remove those handles on the cup too
 Okay folks I’m outta here…..
 I have more important things to do 😉
