Raise Money without Spending Money using Teespring

June 17, 2013 By Sheila Thomas Leave a Comment

Are you the coach for your kids softball team, or maybe in charge of fundraising for your kids school or the church you belong too? Maybe you are looking for a way to generate income for your business by selling logo related items? Problem.. one generally has to spend a ton of money ordering items only to not sell enough to cover the cost and then what is the result… you are broke!

Or maybe you would like to help out your favorite charity and sell items to raise money for that.

You are in luck. Teespring is exactly what you are looking for! You create your t-shirt design, decide how many you need to sell to and by what date and let Teespring do the rest. Your campaign is launched and you can promote it via Facebook and Twitter to drive sales to your page. This concept could be used in so many ways.

This one raised over 85k for Boston relief: http://teespring.com/staystrongboston

Check them out and tell me of an idea or way you could use Teespring. I am thinking I need to make shirts for Living Smart Girl. Would you buy one with my logo (the cartoon girl on it)?

Lulah Fragrances For Today’s Stylish Women

June 13, 2013 By Allie 1 Comment

Lulah fragrances for today’s stylish women. A little daring. A lot vivacious. Lulah is a fresh a take on specialty fragrances that any modern women would love. Using a variety of fragrances to reflect the way you feel such as; sassy, sensual & successful.

Lulah is free of:

Parabens

Phthalates

Petrolatum

Mineral Oil

SLS/SLES

Animal Testing

The packaging looks and feels as though it came from an expensive boutique but Lulah carries an affordable price tag.

I used the Magnolia Fig Body Wash to set off my day with notes of positivity. The lather was amazing and it left my skin smelling warm and sweet, and feeling soft. After my shower our entire bathroom smelled of magnolias, figs and mandarin.

I also enjoyed the Citron Body Lotion. The combination of lemon and basil is incredibly fresh smelling. But I would have to say my favorite scent, perhaps because of my mood has been Vanilla Orchid. I have never been one for musk’s, I usually find them to be too strong of an aroma. But the beautiful blend of jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood left my skin smelling warm and sweet. This fragrance is not over-powering it is almost comforting. It is described as a blissful breeze, and it is. When you walk into a room, isn’t that how you’d like others to describe you, as a blissful breeze?

My Love for Granola is Even Bigger Now

May 30, 2013 By Sheila Thomas 12 Comments

Since I found Ola Granola!

Ola Granola is family friendly, handbaked, pure and simple, 100% natural granola that has won my heart over. I love granola and eat a lot of it as well as try many different companies granola’s. If you follow me, you will know I have tried many. Well, Ola is the latest to be delivered to my kitchen and all I can say is.. YUM!! I tried the No Nut Vanilla and have to say I have never had such crunchy granola before. I generally mix my granola in with my yogurt for a nice snack and this amazing granola does not get mushy or soft and that I totally love! The No Nut Vanilla has just the perfect amount of sweetness and makes a great addition to anything or even just eating it alone.

Choose from Vanilla Almond, Cranberry Orange Pecan or the No Nut Vanilla. You can get it is bags or single snack size

I also love how they offer great recipes using their granola on their site so if you love granola but are lost sometimes as to how you can eat it they can help put a new spin on it. You have to check out the Frozen Ola recipe for a new way to enjoy your granola.

Check them out, grab some Ola Granola for yourself.

Check out the fun shirt I got too. I love this shirt!!

Wanna Spoon ?

May 16, 2013 By Sheila Thomas 1 Comment

Not like that!! LOL!

Pacific Beach is an all natural peanut butter that is honestly some of the best I have ever tried.

I use peanut butter daily. In shakes, on wraps, on toast, on fruit… I love it! And, what makes Pacific Beach peanut butter even more awesome is that it comes in flavors to tickle your tastebuds. Flavors like Toffee, Butterscotch, Caramel, White Chocolate, CinnaYum, Unsalted and the regular Organic.

My favorite of the 4 I have tried is the Toffee. I love the little extra sweetness of it. It was real good on my wheat bagel.

On the right bagel I have the caramel and the left bagel is the toffee. You can see that the toffee is a bit creamy and spreads a bit easier than the caramel one. But, who really cares how easy it spreads, when the taste is amazing.

I make a lot of my own healthy granola bars and I used the cinnyum, which has 0 grams of sugar, in one of my favorite recipes. I will post that recipe later for you to try out.

All the peanut butters are Gluten Free and made with Valencia peanuts. The creamy goodness is packed into cut little glass jars.
The site has some good recipes using peanut butter for you to check out as well.
Or you can follow them on their social networks ~

Facebook

Twitter

Check them out, grab some yummy goodness, and maybe even ask a friend if they “Wanna Spoon”.

Buy 2 jars get one free ~ Use code “blogger4” at time of checkout. Must add the free jar to cart for this to work.

I love my sampler boxes and love to review them and instead of just writing about them I decided to make video’s. Well, I have a new phone, and have not done to many video’s and had no software for editing them so learning all that took time.

Get Your Sweet Tooth Craving Fix with #WerthersSugarFree

Get Your Sweet Tooth Craving Fix with #WerthersSugarFree

Just because a person lives a healthy life style doesn’t mean one doesn’t have cravings from time to time for something sweet. I love my sweets but know that I can’t and shouldn’t snack on them like I would like to. Yes, I would love to sit and eat a piece of cake or some cookies or donuts but, know that it isn’t good for me or smart. But, with Werther’s Original Sugar Free Candy I know I can get a sweet tooth craving fix and not mess up my daily calorie intake.

Werther’s candies have 8 calories and 3 grams of carbs. And they offer the taste of satisfaction that many people with diabetes crave (and most other people). The great variety of flavors in the sugar free collection makes sure that everyone will enjoy them. They have Caramel Cinnamon, Caramel Apple, Caramel Coffee and Original. My favorite is the Caramel Cinnamon and hubby’s is the Caramel Coffee. But, seriously how can you pick just one flavor, they are all absolutely yummy!

Have you tried them? Werther’s is asking you (my readers) to comment and share your experience on their Facebook page.

Check out all the goodies I got from Werther’s. A nice box filled with a ton of candy to feed my sweet tooth craving.

My husband and I have really started to keep in check everything that we eat. He has a weight loss goal he want to hit by June, and I have a fitness goal I want to hit by June. So having something like Werther’s around is great because no matter what, we both get the cravings for sweets. I can just grab one of these and pop in my mouth and I am good to go. I also threw some in my purse for when I am on the go. I have always loved Werther’s because it was a candy my Mom always had in the house. Now, I can enjoy it but not worry about the calories or carbs but still feel like I am being a little naughty.

March Bulu Box #bulubox

April 9, 2013 By Sheila Thomas 1 Comment

One Box, Two Box, Bulu Box and more. Well, how can one ask for more when you get the Bulu Box.

If you love to sample new product and learn about what the latest trend for health and fitness is than the Bulu Box is the box you want to grab. Choose from either the Bulu Box, or Bulu Weight Loss Box. Both filled with a ton of samples and goodies.

I am late posting about my March box, but have a very good reason. See, I had bunion surgery and so I have been slow moving for a bit. I will be posting all about that too so keep an eye on us. But, while I was down my Bulu Box came, and another Bulu Box arrived that was a gift for a speedy recovery from the people at Bulu Box. That was such a treat. Take a look at the boxes I got.

In my speedy recovery box I got a card from Jenni and Stephanie, some Turkey Perky Jerky (gotta hide this from hubby), some C Spray Mega Dose Vitamin C, Hemp Protein, a couple stickers, a $50 iTrain Gift Card and a ton of packets of BioCell Collagen. I was so excited!! Out of all my family and friends who knew I had surgery only one other person sent me anything so this was very special to me.

In my March box I got even more goodies. There was some Energy trueEnergy, Quick Fire, Dream Water, (I need this!), Omega Swirl Fish Oil, Red Stinger Black Label, $50 iTrain Gift Card, a sticker, some xyloBurst Gum, and 5 recipe cards. And, the insert from Bulu Box has a great workout on the inside as well as info on all in the box.

Both my boxes had so many fun goodies in them. I just love sampler boxes and the Bulu Box is a great one. Grab yourself a box at Bulu Box.

Before the Flow & After the Flow

February 27, 2013 By Allie Leave a Comment

Before the Flow & After the Flow

For over 20 years BIORAY has taken nature and science to bring you unique supplements and remedies for a variety of ailments. Looking for a natural way ease the pain of my menstrual cycle. I was thrilled to find Before and After the Flow.

before-the-flow Before The Flow is designed to sooth and prepare a woman’s body for menstruation. Using traditional Chinese herbs to relieve the most common symptoms of PMS such as, sore/swollen breasts, mood swings, low energy, bloating, irregular bowels, head pains, cravings, etc.

I took Before the Flow 2-3 droppers full in my tea twice a day starting a week before I got my period and continued use a few days into my period. I didn’t care for the smell of the supplement but was surprised to find that it tasted great in my tea. Before the Flow is a little miracle in a bottle. I had virtually no bloating, I was able to comfortably sleep through the night, no diarrhea, my muscles weren’t as sore, and as my husband so clearly pointed out I didn’t burst into tears over a sad television commercial like I would have prior to trying this supplement.

After the Flow nourishes and strengthens the blood after your menstrual cycle. Containing powerful amounts of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C and iron to aid in rejuvenation of the blood.

I took After the Flow for 10 days after the last day of my period. Twice a day, 2-3 droppers full in my tea. Typically following my period I find myself mentally and physically weak and run down. I noticed by using After the Flow I had increased energy and wasn’t as easily stressed.

When used regularly these products can offer,

* Regular ovulation

* Balanced emotion

* Increased sexual drive

* Hormonal balance and healthy endocrine function

* Nurturing of reproductive tissues

So, whether you are shopping for a natural product to boost immunity, detox, replenish, or energize your body, BIORAY has you covered.
