{When Life Gives You O.J. Prize Pack Giveaway}

It's summertime!  Every year, my children's teachers say that it's important that kids continue reading over the summer so that they don't end up loosing ground with their reading skills by the time they get back to school in the fall.  Yet, it can be tough to get kids to read when beautiful weather, sprinklers, and pools are competing for attention.  We got the chance to read the book "When Life Gives You OJ" by Erica S. Perl and it's such a cute and enjoyable book that it can make getting kids to read easy.

{Barbar Hair Tools Giveaway}

I love doing my hair in different ways and have my fair share of styling tools. I find the ones I love not only work well but are functional and save me time. One of my newest must have items is the BARBAR 1900 Tourmaline Cordless Combo. This is exactly what I needed all in one. I curl my hair as often as I straighten it making this item totally perfect for me. I love it!

{Pampers Little Miracle Missions $50 AMEX Giveaway}

I have always been someone that enjoys doing little things to help people out. I have been so blessed in my life and I often look for ways to pay it forward. Its not always huge things but just little things that I can get involved in. One of the most important things for me is to teach my kids to give. I always teach them that not everyone is as fortunate as us and how a little kindness can go a long way.  I recently just learned that Pampers is celebrating their 50th Anniversary . I am helping them celebrate and was challenged to do something great with $50 thanks to Pampers. I started to think of ways that I could make the most out of the money. But there is one place here in my town that I know could use a little kindness. It is a local Women's and Children's Shelter. I know how hard it can be to be a mother and couldn't imagine being homeless so my hearts really go out to these moms and their babies. My kids and I chose to spend the $50 on a package of diapers, some wipes and baby lotion. We were very excited to help someone else out and look forward to doing more.

{Jenulence Makeup Giveaway}

I am one of those girls that cannot live without their makeup. I have many reasons for my love of makeup but I mostly love the way I look wearing it and most importantly how I feel when I wear it. I feel more confident and put together. I am a makeup junkie and love finding new places to buy my makeup. And with being a busy mom I often make my purchases online. Finding quality makeup that is affordable is always my goal when making a purchase. Recently I had the chance to try some new makeup from a company that I had never tried before.

{Auric Blends Giveaway}

I love having a variety of different scents that I can choose to wear depending on my mood; so I love finding great smelling perfumes that are affordable.  I was very excited to find Auric Blends perfume oils and solids. They carry a great line of perfume oils, solid perfumes, and incense that are handcrafted with a "combination of exotic, imported perfume ingredients from around the globe." I recently got the chance to try a few of their fragrances.

{Puddles Collection Giveaway}

When shopping for my kids I love to find fun fashionable places. Clothes being durable and affordable is always a must have for me. I have 3 kids and it seems like one of them always need something. From jeans to tops, and everything else were always shopping for the kids. From time to time they need something a little more formal and fancy. I have a great place to get that for not only my girls but my son as well. Puddles Collection is awesome because they also carry things for boys. They have a great selection that would be great for any occasion. I love that you can also add any needed accessories all in one place. No more making an extra stop just for tights or leggings. My daughter has their Josie dress. I love this dress. It is a fresh and fun dress with brightly colored butterflies all over it. The straps are 3 coordinating ribbons on both sides and makes this even more fun. The dress is great quality and really easy to care for. It came packaged beautifully and is a really great dress. It is very affordable at only $35.

{Dassant Premium Baking Mixes} + Giveaway

I cannot really think of a time of year that I bake more than around the holidays. I love to make sweet yummy treats for our family and friends. My kids always love to get in on the action and the whole family just loves it when the house fills with the smell of something freshly baked. This year we were are able to celebrate and bake with a few premium baking mixes from Dassant. From the very start I knew these were going to turn out great. With the easy to follow instructions and fantastic mixes, my family and I enjoyed the mixes we tried. We could not stop ourselves from making the Truffle Brownies first. They were moist and taste great!  They were a hit with my chocolate lovers and did not last long in our house:)

Have you heard of Zoobles? Fun bright colored balls that transform into adorable little creatures! These adorable little things have been such a hit in my house. My daughter in particular will play with hers for hours and never forgets to take them with her. Each one comes with their own "Happitat." She has so much fun watching them pop open when placed on it. They roll and play and create hours of fun!

{Super Sipperz}+Giveaway

Super Sipperz are a very cool idea.  They are straws with connectors that you can build amazing creations with and then use those creations to drink with.  Totally fun!  These are awesome because they are fun and they encourage kids to be creative too.

You can use them to make creations to drink through or you can use them just to build with also. They are totally fun either way, but who doesn't need that extra bit of incentive every once in a while to get the kids to drink their juice. And they are getting my kids to drink a lot more water too because I have them test their creations with water (and they do a lot of testing, lol).  Then, they drink juice through it once they are happy with what they've built.

{Softlips® PURE 100% Natural} + Giveaway

Softlips has always been one of my favorite lip moisturizers! I would say that I may be a bit of addict. I am constantly putting it on and finding new flavors to add to my collection. Softlips has come out with a great new line of 100% Natural lip polish with a light coconut scent as well as lip glosses, lip butter, and tinted balms, with a light vanilla-berry scent. All of which are free of preservatives, phthalates, sulfates, parabens, mineral oil and gluten. I am not completely sure what all that means. But i do know that means my favorite brand for lip products just got better!
