{Rafflecopter Giveaway} Carmex Prize Package 9/20

Carmex ROCKS my SOCKS!

Carmex is one of the most requested brands in our house… Everyone loves it. My brother is addicted to the Original Jar, or Tube, and there is always one in every single pocket of pants I try to wash. He is NEVER without it. The boys love the cherry flavor- and always slather on a ton of the Healing Lotion after getting out of the pool! Me, I love ’em all– And have found some new favorites in the awesome products that Carmex sent me to test out!

Check out the NEW Vanilla and Lime Twist Sticks!

These new Carmex sticks have the same great conditioning and smoothing super-powers that I’m used to, but with some great new flavors. The Lime Twist is really bright and refreshing- not too fruity- great balance of flavor. Brightens your mood when you wear it! The Vanilla Stick is really comforting and soothing… Some Vanilla’s taste artificial, this is just yummy and natural.

Some Amazing Carmex Facts:

When was Carmex® lip balm invented?
Carmex was invented in 1937 by Alfred Woelbing, literally on the family stovetop. For the next 20 years, Alfred and his wife made Carmex by hand and poured it into the now familiar yellowcapped jars.
Is Carmex lip balm addictive?
No, there’s nothing in Carmex that’s addictive. However, we believe it is addictively good.
Is Carmex tested on animals?
Only the ones we’re related to. Seriously, we never test on animals. We don’t need to because we’ve got so many Woelbing family members to use as test subjects.
Does Carmex contain gluten?
Nope, not even a speck.

See? I told you Carmex Rocks.

And, check out their website to request a Free Sample. Each week they randomly draw 50 people, and send them out a freebie! Because not only do they make the greatest products ever, they’re also just nice guys.

Win Your Own Carmex Package:

One lucky fan will win a prize pacakge that includes:

This super amazing picnic blanket- it unrolls HUGE, with a waterproof lining on bottom, and a super soft fabric on top, then rolls up to carry. Very cool.

Both of the new Carmex Sticks- Vanilla and Lime Twist.

AND- the other product that I got to test out, the new Moisture Plus-in a stylin’ slim tube, with a great slant-tip applicator. Great over lipstick or on it’s own, gave me really natural-looking glossiness to my lips. Super pretty.

{I have no pics of the three products you will win- They all three came with this awesome picnic blanket, but everyone grabbed ’em and ran off to try them before I could snap a pic. And yes, they’re really THAT good, good enough that they turn my family into a band of thieves…}

Disclaimer: I was sent a complimentary set of products, so I could try them out and share my feedback on ’em with you guys. All opinions are of course my own!

The Munchkin Bunch Contest!!

Munchkin Bunch Contest

I entered Abby in the contest on Munchkin’s Facebook page, to be part of their new “Munckin Bunch”… A group of kiddo’s that “will become the stars of our Facebook page, providing us with monthly updates (via their parents) on the fun things they do each day.” Super fun, right? And you know I love to share, and post, and talk… :)

BIG Surprise!

When I saw a Facebook post today from Munchkin that they had picked the top 10 finalists, I was bummed, since I hadn’t heard anything from them and assumed we weren’t a finalist. I wanted to take a look though, and see if there were any little one’s that I knew, or at least help someone else out with my votes- Even if I didn’t know them. Karma, you know?

Imagine my TOTAL SURPRISE to see my little girls face as the first finalist on the page!! Woooo!!!! There are only 10 finalists, and the top 5 vote getters will be part of the new Munchkin Bunch…. So I’d LOVE your help with some votes!!

Abby says… “Please check out my Profile on Munchkin’s Facebook Page and give me some votes!! I really want to be a part of the Munchkin Bunch!!”

She’s the first face on the list– The picture that you see above is the one that they used. Her name is Abby Piper, and you can click the vote button up to FIVE times each day!

If all of my Sunshine and Sippy Cups fans could give her some votes, and show Munchkin that you’d love to have her be a part of their team, I would appreciate it SO much! You guys are always so supportive, so I thank you in advance to anyone who has some time to help out!

PLUS—Remember, Munchkin is going to be giving away prizes to their fans too, starting soon, only on their Facebook page. So don’t miss out- “Like” them today to vote for Abby, and stay tuned in a few weeks for their new giveaways!

{Rafflecopter Giveaway} Win a Virtual Room Review from Designer at Stylish Solutions!

Who else is TOTALLY addicted to those home make-over shows?

I am. Totally and completely. I don’t have time for much TV, but towards the end of my pregnancy, when I was having some complications, I spent a lot of hours in the recliner watching these programs….

I am a really crafty, DIY, creative person. I love design, and worked in Fashion Merchandising for years. And I love rearranging and redecorating the house. But it’s always so cool to see how someone ELSE see’s your home, with fresh eye’s. Sometimes, you get so used to the clutter– or the odd arrangement of things that you set that way “for now”, but never got around to changing– that you just don’t even see it anymore.

On the TV programs, a fancy-schmancy designer comes in, and suggests major changes, an with a {usually} unlimited budget and resources, they transform the room into a new beautiful oasis of perfection.

In real life? Not so much.

Most of us can’t afford to hire an interior designer to come into our home. And even if we COULD afford them, we probably couldn’t afford all of their suggestions! Plus, the majority of us live in homes with babies, and kids, and pets, and messes. We may dream about those perfect magazine living rooms, but even the best kiddo’s would have peanut-butter smears over it all within minutes.

What we’re REALLY looking for…

What most of us really need is just a little help. The way you take your most stylish friend shopping with you, to pick out new looks you wouldn’t have discovered on your own– That’s the way Virtual Room Review works!

You send in a few pictures of the room that’s giving you trouble, and the amazing designer from Stylish Solutions will review them, and give you some really easy solutions to upgrade your space! And it is SO affordable– You can get a full room review of your home, office, or even your business, for only $10!!

This is my Master Bedroom… Very much in need of some TLC!

We moved into the new house last November, and the baby and I share the big Master Bedroom and Bath. I absolutely LOVE so many things about this room… The high ceilings, all of the space, and the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom!! But I’ve struggled quite a bit with how to combine our bedroom furniture, the baby’s stuff, and my office, into one space.

Designer Suggestions…

Here are a few of the suggestions that I got from Stylish Solutions during my Virtual Room Review, and what I thought about them…

Longer curtain panels (to the floor or just above) would make the window look better – I would also add another panel to each side so they’re fuller. I’d raise the curtain rod a few inches, which makes a window look bigger as well – generally you want to hang your panels as high and wide as you can/ {Totally agree! In my old bedroom, I had two very small windows, so here on this big window I have 2 short and 2 long panels… I’d been trying to decide which length to buy more of. But I agree that longer ones will look better!}
I would re-frame the pictures above the bed so that the frames are dark (keeping the white mats) – right now they blend into the wall. You can also use black spray paint instead of buying new frames. {Again, something I’d been planning! The old bedroom had darker grey walls, so the silver popped against them. But they do really blend into the white walls here.}
A few other suggestions were to add more of an accent color, and add a throw in that color at the end of the bed. Also, to add some bedside lamps, and a headboard, along with a few easy ideas I could use for both.

I love that ALL of the suggestions are things that are simple changes, affordable on a tight budget, and make a big impact!

Win a Virtual Room Review of Your Own!

One lucky fan will win their own Virtual Room Review for FREE! Super cool, right? {And to see some examples of how dramatic her room remodeling skills are, check out her Before & After pictures– Amazing!}

{Disclaimer: The designer at Stylish Solutions gave me a complimentary Virtual Room Review so that I could share my experience with you guys… But of course, the opinions I share are my own.}
