Yoplait Thick and Creamy Yogurt-Review and Giveaway


My Blog Spark is one of my favorite resources for being able to try out great items and let you, my readers, know about them. They sent me a coupon for Yoplait Thick and Creamy yogurt to try along with a lovely set of stationary. I redeemed the coupon and tried the Strawberry flavor. Yum! It is so thick and decadent that it satisfied my craving for something sweet. Plus the added benefit of calcium was much appreciated!

I am pretty choosy about my yogurt, I have tried different brands but always come back to Yoplait. I think the fruit is fresher and the consistency of the yogurt, for me, is just right. They also have so many different flavors to choose from, I never get tired of eating it.


Would you like to try the wonderful flavor of Yoplait Thick and Creamy and receive the beautiful stationary set shown above, along with a coupon for a free Yoplait Thick and Creamy? If so, enter my giveaway! All you have to do is:

Leave a comment about what flavor Yoplait Thick and Creamy you like the best! If you are a blogger, you can also comment about your favorite way to write beyond your blog, whether it be a short note to your kids in their lunch box, your significant other in their pocket or car or leaving yourself a note!

Tropical Traditions Review and Giveaway-Antioxidants


I was sent a canister of the Antioxidant Omega 3 Greens to try. I will have to admit at first the taste turned me off, but with every day use, I got used to it. I discovered that it is better in ice cold water.

It is rich in ALA Omega 3 fatty acid, improves immune function, provides fiber, supplements weight loss plans, and a great source of probiotics, among other benefits. The Antioxidant Omega 3 Greens help you to also get in some of your fruit and vegetable servings, which is really nice, as it is hard for me to get my 5-9 servings. It is all natural, no preservatives or MSG.


I am glad I started taking it, I needed some sort of vitamin supplement as I do take multiple medications. I feel that the antioxidants help with digestion of these medications and also to help detoxify my system from the unwanted ingredients found in most meds.


You can try your own Antioxidant Omega 3 Greens! Tropical Traditions have agreed to give one canister away to one of my readers. All you have to do is sign up for their newsletter here, go to their website here and browse to see other products they have that you may find useful. Then come back here, leave a comment and you are done!

To get 1 additional entry, if you are not a subscriber, please do so either by email or RSS feed.

Also if you Twitter or blog about this giveaway you will get 1 additional entry for each.

EcoStore USA Review and Giveaway


I am a huge fan of EcoStore USA products. I have used several items with great success and I love that I can get them from my local Meijer store. Not only that, but for eco friendly products, their prices are really reasonable.

Lyne at EcoStore was so kind to send me a container of their product, Oxygen Whitener. I have been using it since the day I got it and I have noticed that my white tee-shirts come out of the laundry a lot brighter and cleaner, plus the fresh smell is an added bonus! It contains oil of citrus and coconut to make that delicious scent. I definitely recommend this product. Not only does it work great, but of course it is eco friendly. There are no nasty chemicals!
Right now on their website, found here, they are having a back to school sale. When you buy $50.00 worth of products, they will match your order! Buy 1 get 1 free, buy 2 get 4 free! Just enter 2for1 in the discount code field at checkout.
Now the really good news: EcoStore USA has agreed to allow me to give away a canister of Oxygen Whitener to one of my readers! All you have to do is:
Go to their website here, browse around, and come back here to leave a comment about what product you think you would like to try and why. That's it!

Make More Cents Zillionz Digital Counting Money Jar- Review and Giveaway

My husband is an avid coin counter. He comes by it naturally. His dad used to count change constantly. When I first met him that is what I noticed first. He was so patient and precise about it, and he loved doing it. My hubby is the same way. He diligently counts all the left over change at the end of the week and puts it in the appropriate places. He comes up with more than I ever thought possible with just change!
So imagine my delight when I got the offer to review the Zillionz Digital Counting Money Jar! When you put your coins in, it shows you how much you have in there. It it really nifty and hubby approves. The first day we got it, I emptied out my purse, and I had over $9.00 in change in there! No wonder it was so heavy. :)



On the Make More Cents website, they offer multiple variations of banks. They have an airplane, a talking cow, secret banks, piggy banks, and much more. Check it out for yourself here. You will also find that the prices are reasonable as well. I am thinking of purchasing a few items for Christmas gifts for my grandson and family members.



Chris from Make More Cents has also been generous enough to sponsor a giveaway of a Zillionz Digital Counting Money Jar for one of my readers! A value of $9.95.



To enter, visit Make More Cents.

Come back to the blog and tell me which bank you liked the best.

Glow Baby -Baby's First Journal Review and Giveaway

Lindsay Harris, the founder of Glow Baby sent me an adorable Baby's First Journal. It is a feeding, sleeping and diapering journal, one I wish I had when my son was an infant! I used to jot things down all over the place, napkins, post its, scraps of paper, etc. and never got around to putting everything in one spot. These journals are perfect for recording your babies routine and habits. Having the Glow Baby Journal can help you to keep track of babies feedings, if they are eating enough, sleeping enough, how often you had to change their diaper, anything unusual when they went, etc. A great tool to take to the pediatrician's office! A place for you to take notes to help you stay a bit more sane while raising a baby and possibly toddlers and older children too!

I have good news! Lindsay has offered to host a giveaway of one of her journals to a lucky reader! Rules are simple to enter! Just go to Glow Baby , have a look around, then come back here and leave a comment about why you think these are useful and how you would use them.
