Kroger Freebie Friday

Image
Thanks to BzzAgent i found out about Kroger Store's freebie fridays. Every friday they add a new digital coupon to there online coupon listings for a free product! You just sign in, hit the load to card button and it's yours. So far i have gotten shampoo, gatorade, hamburger helper, chips, and an energy drink. If you have a Kroger or Kroger Affliate store, it's worth the time! Here in Oregon my Kroger affliaate is Fred Meyer, and i love getting freebies from them!

Lysol Power & Free

Image
My recent product testing has been Lysol Power & Free Multi-purpose cleaner and wipes. They clean and disinfect without the harshness of bleach! The product information from Lysol "You clean to help keep your loved ones healthy, so why use cleaning products that require an evacuation of kids and pets from your home? Just to get things gleaming? Lysol® Power & Free™ delivers more cleaning power than bleach* — without the harshness! The cleaners are powered by hydrogen peroxide (which turns into water and oxygen as it attacks tough stains), so you get a pristine home that’s free from harmful fumes and chemical residue. -Uses hydrogen peroxide to release thousands of micro-bubbles that penetrate and dissolve tough stains -Requires no gloves, masks or protective eyewear (you don’t even have to open the windows to clean!) -Kills 99.9% of viruses and bacteria** *On tough grease and soap scum. **When used as directed." I am in love with the all purpose cleaner. It works...

I'm late, but here is my post for the July Cara Box. I got partnered with Abby at Always Abby http://www.alwaysabigail.com/ The theme for this month's box was "nautical" and she sent my the best box! My awesome card! I love the animal drawings! LOL Wax melts. They smell like the sea Cute little coasters! Seashell shaped oil diffuser Beautiful handmade bookmark Blue and Green glitter polish-it looks likes waves when you tilt the bottle I heard this month some women had a bad expierience and sucky partners. I'm sorry that happened to people. I feel blessed to have had good partners both times i participated, and i hope my boxes never left anyone feeling let down.

High School Diploma

Image
On June 11th, 2013 i finished my last class needed to earn my High School Diploma!!! A real diploma, not a GED. I cannot begin to tell you how happy i am. Nine years after i should have graduated i did! I know some people don't see what the big deal is, but for me it's huge. I spent 5 1/2 years in a bad marriage, being told how i was nothing and would always be nothing and would never do anything. When i kicked him out he reminded me as often as he could how i was nothing and would do nothing without him. Even a caseworker at DHS told me "At your age, why bother." This was in response to inquiries about what programs were available to help adults get their GED or diploma for college. Despite all this, all the people who thought i couldn't do it, i did it. I DID IT!!!!!! I did it for myself, to be able to make life better for Landon and I. I did it for Landon, to show him that it is never to late to accomplish any goal you set. To celebrate we had a little ...

May Cara Box

This month was my 1st ever Cara Box exchange (http://www.wifessionals.com/) and it was great fun! I discovered the Cara Box exchange through a friend, so i decided to sign up. I was paired with Andrea (http://alookatlifefromadifferentangle.blogspot.com) and Kyetra (www.kyetrabelton.com). Andrea sent me a box and I sent one to Kyetra. It was fun to get to know these ladies through their blogs and emails. The theme of this month's box was "where you live." So my box to Kyetra was full of things made in Oregon, and my box from Andrea was full of things made in Michigan. I got a lot of neat goodies! Thank you so much Andi!

Ivory 2-in-1 Influenster Voxbox

Image
On saturday i got my very first voxbox from Influenster. I was so excited! Influenster sends out voxbox's with products for you to try for free, in exchange for reviewing the product and sharing it on social media. My TT Britt has done a few, so i had seen the boxes before and knew how amazing they were. Thus my excitement on being chosen for one! My Ivory voxbox contained a 24oz bottle of Ivory 2-in-1 Hair and Body wash, refreshing scent. It also contained my instruction card and 3 coupons. I am very picky about my hair products, but for the sake of my review i used it as intended, as a body wash and as a shampoo/conditioner. The scent is very nice, light and pleasant. As a body wash i loved it. It lathers nicely, leaves your skin feeling clean and moisturized, and rinses clean away. As a shampoo/conditioner it worked well, lathers nicely and cleans well. My hair needs deep conditioning from my hair products, so for myself i wouldn't use it that way again. For my son, it...
