$100 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!
This giveaway was is sponsored by Bloggin’ Mamas
Bloggin’ Mamas would like to support the Ad Council and Keep America Beautiful, the national nonprofit organization, which recently launched the newest phase of the “I Want to Be Recycled” public service advertising campaign. The PSA campaign aims to raise awareness and inspire individuals to recycle more with the latest series of ads focused on recycling in the bathroom. Bloggin’ Mamas is sponsoring a $100 Amazon giftcard as a prize for a giveaway designed to spread the word of the campaign.
Personal care products like shampoo and lotion bottles, toilet paper rolls, and toothpaste and soap boxes are significantly less likely to be recycled than kitchen products. New research commissioned by the Ad Council found that 47% of people are not recycling materials in the bathroom.
According to a recent study conducted for the Ad Council, 52% of Americans don’t know which items can be recycled in the bathroom. And only 10% of Americans have a recycling bin in their bathroom, compared to the 45% who have them in the kitchen.
That’s why the “I Want To Be Recycled” campaign has partnered with Vevo’s Do It YourSelfie with Tess & Eva, who recreate the looks from today’s hottest music videos. These two glam experts, known for their DIY hair, makeup and design tips, created a new PSA this Earth Day reminding Americans that those bathroom products deserve to be recycled too!
Check out a quick video they made on how to recycle old clothes into a new bath mat:
Whether it’s hairspray, leave-in conditioner or dry shampoo, many of your favorite beauty products and packaging can take on another life through recycling. For example, your shampoo bottle could be recycled into a hairbrush, or you might find a great new dress made from the recycled plastic of your favorite bottle of lotion.Click here to learn more about what your personal care products can become when properly recycled.
And Now the Giveaway!
Prize(s): 1 winner will receive one (1) $100 Amazon Giftcard. We encourage the winner to use the giftcard to purchase items to encourage recycling.

Embrace the Crazy
We’ve been crazy busy lately. With what you ask?
Whelp….
- We put our house on the market to sell. Houses are selling like hot cakes around here I’m just hoping we find a place to move TO before we have to move to a Frigidaire box.
- I’m trying to keep everything clean. It sucks.
- My new job is fabulous and I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders. I am so happy! The people I work for are SO nice and I’m incredibly grateful God brought this opportunity my way.
- I’m excited to move closer to Terence’s job so he won’t be on the road so much.
- Connor starts Kindergarten in 3 months (someone hold me)
- I never realized how much junk we accumulate or how dusty things become until I actually had to clean it all like new to put our house on the market. Eeek.
- I’m excited to go home to Arkansas in a month and see my family. I need a good hug from my Mom, Dad, Nannie, & sister 🙂
- This drawing someone did of me is super cool. It’s also kind of scary, but it’s awesome….I dunno? It’s like my Sims character has come to life.
- A couple of weeks ago I had the most AMAZING spa experience at My Envy Spa in Weatherford. I had a Pellevue facial and it was so relaxing I nearly fell asleep. My skin feels like a baby’s bottom. Pelleve Skin Tightening treatment is the latest in Spa treatments to give you a younger, fresher feeling look around your face. It helps remove Crow’s Feet, Laugh Lines and sagging skin by using the amazing new technology of Pelleve. Everyone at My Envy spa was sooooo nice too!
I’ll definitely be going back there for some “me” time. I’m about to turn 34 so the fine lines and wrinkles are making their ugly selves known. UGH.

I found this amazing dotted heart necklace. I’m in love (literally) with it!
This necklace is beautiful example of sentiment, this sterling silver heart hangs sweetly from a gold-filled wrap and chain. Hand forged by artist Dana Reed, this textural design marries heartfelt elegance with mixed metal, industrial style. Made in Chicago, Illinois. Artist Dana combines the exotic elements of many cultures with art deco influenced geometrics and ultrachic textures. It truly is a “one of a kind” gift from UncommonGoods.

Girl Friend Party
Friday at 9pm
She Conference exists to inspire women, help them to discover their God-given value and to stand in the gap for those who have no voice. This gathering of women of all ages and walks of life is designed to be a fun time of fellowship, as well as a time to reflect, refresh and renew our minds.
When we as women gather in one place and bring our God-given glory, it gives us a kingdom perspective of the power we hold. If one women can change her world, then imagine what women, united by God can do.
We stand as women to fight against human trafficking, poverty, abandoned and orphaned children, and the child soldiers of Northern Uganda. We also respond to the many local challenges right here in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
If you are interested in a free ticket, a ($50 value) to attend the conference please leave a comment below.

SmartCoffee App + Enter to Win Your OWN Special Coffee Blend!
A few weeks ago I was asked to try a new app called SmartCoffee.
SmartCoffee is a mobile app where you can take a blending quiz to determine which blend of coffee is perfect for you.
SmartCoffee is the mobile app created by Paul Katzeff, the grandfather of specialty coffee roasting in America. At 77, Paul has taken his 45 years of experience in the coffee business and built this app to empower coffee drinkers to have their perfect cup every time.
After I took the quiz to figure out my perfect blend of coffee from Thanksgiving Coffee Company I found out my perfect choice would be the Albion River Inn Blend.
This unique coffee blend has been a traditional part of Albion River Inn’s fine culinary experience for decades. A full-bodied and well-rounded blend with sweet chocolate tones and a crisp, toasty flavor, our Organic and Fair Trade blend is grown high in the mountains of northern Nicaragua.
So, both Terence and I have been drinking this coffee for a week now and we absolutely LOVE it. I have to say that I was a bit skeptical, because I am a crazy fanatic coffee drinker….but SmartCoffee got it right!
I’ll definitely be ordering some more of this coffee because it’s some of the best beans I’ve tried in awhile.
Want a chance to WIN your own personal blend of coffee using the SmartCoffee App?
Just leave a comment below telling me what your favorite type of coffee is?
Sing & Play Along With VeggieTales
“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Weave Made Media® and DreamWorks, but all my opinions are my own. #weavemade #VeggieTalesfun http://my-disclosur.es/RgFrEH”
I have something exciting to share with y’all today! VeggieTales is now available at participating Walmart stores around the country. Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber now ready and waiting for a hug & cuddle at Walmart.
I grew up watching VeggieTales when I was a kid and it’s so much fun to share the videos with my son now. VeggieTales teaches Connor about honesty, kindness, forgiveness, and is Christ centered. If there is one thing I want Connor to learn in life it’s how important God is in all we do.
Bob is the smart and witty tomato that has good advice to share. Larry always has a silly song to sing along to. Now you can watch your favorite VeggieTales movies while cuddling with your favorite character.
Larry went to school with Connor today:
You can pick up Larry or Bob along with a bunch of other VeggieTales Friends at Walmart. Look for this display at participating stores.
Since we brought Larry home Connor has been watching VeggieTales non-stop with him by his side. It’s the cutest thing ever 🙂
Now you can help the show come to life with VeggieTales toys. When you can combine a show you love with the toys your kids play with, it is a win-win. Especially when it is completely backed by great lessons and values.
Follow along with VeggieTales on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, & Pinterest
