Yoplait Yoplus Light-”Get Healthy” Gift Giveaway Updated with winner!

51 Comments 25 November 2009

I don’t know about you, but me, I have a hard time keeping my figure in the same shape throughout the winter that it is in the summer. Then spring hits and I have to bust a move to look just right in my bikini, you know? You have the Holidays where you eat a lot and it’s not all healthy, and in general I’m just not as active as I am in the summer. Every year I make the New Years resolution to change that, but do you think I actually do?

Yoplait has made this all a little easier on me with Yoplus Light. It has become my perfect snack food, rather than the chips that I reached for before. There are 3 very delicious flavors to choose from: Strawberry Banana, Key Lime pie and my favorite, Honey Vanilla. Not only does it taste like a treat, but there are only 70 calories as well as a special blend of probiotic cultures and only 3 grams of natural dietary fiber.

My Blog Spark kindly provided me with a “Get Healthy” Gift including a stylish sports bag to take to the gym with a reasonably sized towel made of the coolest material ever, ear buds and of course two coupons to redeem free Yoplus Light. Now you have the chance to win your own “Get Healthy” Gift. Keep it for yourself or give it to somebody for Christmas, your choice!

To Enter:

To win the “Get Healthy” Gift package I’ve listed above I want you to answer one question for me: What do you do to maintain a healthy lifestyle?

$25.00 Gift Card to the Cheescake Factory-Giveaway!

47 Comments 28 August 2009

I’m going to let you in on a little secret, I have never been to a Cheesecake Factory. This in fact saddens me, because I keep hearing just how delicious it really is and how I really need to try it out, at least once in my life, but probably more. Probably the biggest reason I’ve never gone? There isn’t one near me, at all, but that’s not unusual. I don’t even have a Target near me. Back to the subject though. I have good news for you, if you’re like me, or maybe if you’re not and you eat there once a week. No matter what situation you’re in, I have the chance for you to win a $25 Gift Card to try it out, or eat there again.

Here’s the deal. The Cheesecake Factory is sponsoring a promotion called “Reunion of a Lifetime”. The winner receives a trip including airfare, hotel and spending money to Las Vegas for 9 friends! All you have to do to enter for “The Reunion of a Lifetime” is become a fan on their facebook page and then enter through there. You can do so by entering here.

Now on to winning the $25.00 Gift Card to the Cheesecake Factory here. What I want you to do is tell me if you’ve been to the Cheesecake Factory before and what do you suppose you’d spend your Gift Card on…Dinner? Cheesecake? Lunch?…

Contest ends on September 15, I will post the winner in this same post and draw the winner via random.org.

The winner of the Cheesecake Factory $25.00 Gift Card is comment number 1! Congratulations, and thank you to everyone who entered!

EcoGear EcoZoo Backpack

59 Comments 26 August 2009

School is starting next week for us with Ryan going into Kindergarten. The one and only item that Ryans’ new teacher required was a backpack that would fit his soon to be “Friday Folder”. I was relieved that I did not have to overboard with the supplies this year, but then I was on a mission to find a perfect backpack. One that fits Ryans’ personality and one that fits his Friday folder. Enter in EcoGear.

EcoGear was so kind to send us an EcoZoo backpack resembling an elephant. This backpack is just the right size. It is very suitable for Ryan as he loves animals. The material is durable and I love the drawstring, flap over closure. He’s already used it to take to his grammy’s house for overnight clothes and toys. We may need to move a size up come winter though, because of our harsh winters in Northern Michigan, the kids also need enough room in their bags for snowpants, shoes, hats and mittens. EcoGear has a great selection of sizes, so I know I’ll be able to find what I’m looking for when the time comes.

EcoGears’ mission is to save the world one bag at a time. The Ecoweave used to create the bags contains no harmful material or chemicals. Instead of the commonly used PVC, their bags include:

• Toxic-free

• PVC-free

• Chlorine-free

• No dioxin, phthalates or heavy metals

• Carries no ozone-depleting chemicals

• Clean to recycle—creates H2O and CO2 when burned

• Safe in manufacturing and consumer use

To Buy:

Visit EcoGear. You will find an assortment of colors, styles and sizes of bags for all ages. The prices are very reasonable starting at 17.99.

To Win:

One Through Hazel Eyes reader had the chance to win an EcoZoo backpack of their own, curtosey of EcoGear. To Enter, tell me in the comments which bag is your favorite.

The Magic School Bus-A Science Kit, Review and Giveaway

27 Comments 24 August 2009

School is coming back to a start, this is our first big year of school as Ryan is headed into Kindergarten. He has been so excited to start and actually told me that he wants homework. I’m sure he’ll change his mind in a couple years. We were so lucky to test out a Magic School Bus Science kit to give him a project to do at home. We experimented with Magic School Bus Diving into Slime, Gel and Goop. This is a project that I’m certain any child would love doing at home!

Ryan was so thrilled to get started with this, and has been using it over and over again. Honestly, we have used it every day since we’ve received it as this is what he asks to do while his baby sister is napping. What is so unique is that you can use it over and over, without going out and purchasing more supplies for select experiments. Ryan (and I) were able to learn about polymers in a fascinating way by making oobleck, making glue from milk, growing jiggly marbles, making snow from super absorbent crystals, melting the fake snow and much more. This has been very hands on and created hours of learning experiences for not just Ryan but myself!

The kit contains nearly everything you need except the liquid portion of the experiment, which is usually water. Some of the items are able to dry out and be used over again for more fun and experimentation. This is a great kit for summer to keep their brains moving, as well as great during the school year so they can impress the teachers on how much they’re learning at home as well.

To Buy:

Visit The Young Scientists Club where you can purchase Magic School Bus Diving into Slime, Gel and Goop for just 19.99. You can find many many other very cool science products.

To Win:

Visit The Young Scientists Club and in the comments tell me what other product or kit you are interested in.

Additional Entries:

-Subscribe via email or reader (this has been fixed for those who were having troubles)

The winner of the Science Kit is comment number 9! Congratulations and thank you to all who entered!

Cherry Blossoms Giveaway CLOSED

179 Comments 30 July 2009

I’m sure those of you with little girls in your life love to dress them in pretty clothes and of course accessorize. I know I do. Today I’m sharing with you Cherry Blossoms Designs, I think you will be able to find just what you need to add that special touch to your daughters hair.

Here is a little about Cherry Blossoms from Kiley, a Mom herself and founder of Cherry Blossoms:

The difference with my hair accessories is simple.
*Everything is made by hand. Cherry Blossoms is a one woman shop and all items are made in a pet free, smoke free, home.

*The quality of flowers I use on my products are the best quality you can buy. They are soft to the touch and feel just like real flower petals. These flowers are hard to come by because they are so life like. I try to find all flowers in as many different colors as I can.

*I also hand sew most of our flowers onto the clips/hats..it is time consuming but quality comes before quantity!

*I offer a variety of clips because different styles require different accessories. My snap clips are available in a variety of sizes and work with all hair types. From fine hair to thick/coarse hair.

*My headbands are super soft because your infant deserves comfort! My nylon bands are incredibly soft and stretchy and don’t leave marks on your infants head. My adjustable headbands grow with your child (you can actually adjust them to fit your infants head). They come in 2 sizes.
Small: Fits approximately Newborn-12 Months
Large: Fits approximately 6 Months-Adult
(Yes, you read that right, adults can wear them too!)

Currently Cherry Blossoms is not offering at home parties, but you can book an online party with Cherry Blossoms. When you make the desicion to do so you can expect the following perks:

10% off for the hostess and anyone who buys something under your party code

If your party is $150 or more you get 20% of sales under your code in Free Product

To Buy:

Cherry Blossoms has an amazing assortment of handmade hair accessories. There are so many items offered that I simply couldn’t resist for my little girl! You can find a single clip for as little as 4.75 and a set for just 5.00. She also offers headbands, beanies and beautiful flowers.

Congrats to:
