Wholly Guacamole & Wholly Salsa Prize Pack Giveaway - US -

GUEST REVIEW BY SO CAL COUPON MOMMY

My family and I love nachos, chips and salsa/guacamole and really anything to do with Mexican food. So I was jumping up and down when a cooler of Wholly Guacamole & Wholly Salsa arrived at my house. I had tried the guacamole in the past but just the original. I never knew they had so many varieties and flavors. I also loved the Salsas that came in the cooler.

 

The Wholly Guacamole brand has been around for over 10 years offering this amazing product. Just recently (2012) was the Wholly Salsa product offered to the line up. I personally have not seen it in stores in my area yet. But I can tell you that thanks to this awesome opportunity I am looking for it. My favorite item in the cooler was the Wholly Guacamole Original, I love Avocados, and the original has just a little extra flavor up and beyond the normal Avocado taste. My husband LOVED the Salas, his favorite (when I asked) was that it was a toss up, he really enjoyed the Hot Salsa (its not too hot) and also enjoyed the Avocado Verde Salsa. I can not tell you how awesome all the products were in the cooler of goodies I received. I can honestly say this is some of the BEST guacamole that I have ever tried, and I have had some wonderful home made guacamole. The packages are easy to open and store. The serving size is awesome. 

You can find the Wholly Guacamole & Wholly Salsa product (hopefully) at your local grocery store. Currently on the Wholly Guacamole website you can score a coupon. For more information about their amazing products check out their website, facebook and twitter pages. NOW for the BEST part. 

One LUCKY winner will receive a Wholly Guacamole & Wholly Salsa Prize Pack. This giveaway is open to US residents 18 and over. I just love Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsa but I have trouble finding it in the stores in my area. 

Enter in the Rafflecopter Below! GOOD LUCK!

Fall is upon us and for many of us, the pursuit of losing weight or staying healthy is a constant regardless of the seasons.  It seems that many end up gaining once winter weather starts moving in due to lack of activity and of course, the holidays.  Yoplait is a great way to grab a snack while not having to dwell over high calorie content.  Yoplait Light and Yoplait Greek 100 now offers over 20 flavors and if you are a Weight Watchers® PointsPlus® counter, you can eat one for only 2 points!  It is the only yogurt endorsed by Weight Watchers®.  I have many favorites so picking just one to highlight is hard.  I can attest that I only purchase Yoplait yogurt.

I See Me! Personalized Books Review & Giveaway 10/10

Reading is an important path towards early education.  I have a homeschooling curriculum that accentuates the old way of teaching which were reading, writing and arithmetic. The basis behind this curriculum is that all the other subjects would be learned through reading.  In my house, we have tons of books and although I don't read enough to my children, I do like to make sure they have plenty of options to encourage reading.  Reading seems to be more special when the book is about the child.  This was true with the I See Me! personalized book that I had the pleasure of reviewing for my youngest.  The title I chose is the Who Loves Me book.

The customer has the ability to personalize with the child's name, gender and birthday.  Then you have the choice to select up to six people who love your child and you can combine 'mom and dad' as one of the six holders.  Being able to provide a Given By, year and given date is another nice feature to retain as an heirloom to pass down.  The artwork is wonderful and reminded me of older classics.  The story line is really cute with each person you named loving the child with a cute little saying with each one.  Both my girls loved the book!  The quality is superior to others that I have seen and is put together well with no binding slippage.  I think the books are delightful and will be returning for future gifts.

Extra Bonus:  Save 10% until 9/30 with code MYFAIRYTALE and stay up to date with I See Me! on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

The Giveaway:

One reader will win their own I See Me! book!

Halloween is Around the Corner - Have You Selected Your Costumes?

Today, I finally purchased our Halloween costumes after my girls have been bugging me in fear they wouldn't get the ones we wanted.  We shopped in stores today and then I choose online for possible better deals, selections and coupons.  My youngest chose Merida and of course, I had to buy a better version than what I saw at Target.  My middle one wants to be a Pink Power Ranger, my oldest is going to be an Indian and I choose Ravenna from Snow White and the Huntsman.

For those out there that like this costume and/or the movie, this is a hard one to find.  There are two or three different versions but for me, I preferred this one.  There were other places that had it back ordered but I was too nervous to take a chance on being told at the last minute they couldn't fulfill it.  I also saw it priced fairly high at many other places.  I found this one on Ebay and the seller is fantastic with speed of responding to messages and although I've had limited interaction, you can get a feel for people.  I've not had too many bad experiences with Ebay and I'm lucky.  Some people steer clear but I can vouch that there are many great sellers and I'm pretty confident that I'll be happy with my purchase of this costume and the one for my oldest.  The Native Tribal Princess Adult Costume comes with neck trim, fringed arm cuffs and fringed boot tops along with the cute dress.

From my experiences with Halloween, you have to shop early if you want the best selection!  I'll provide an update to this post once I receive the costumes.  Happy Halloween hunting and don't forget to check out my links and see what's available on the Ebay shop I bought my costumes from.

*Disclosure:  I did purchase the costumes on this post. I like to support small businesses with random posts.

Nominate a Women Who Shines #WomenWhoShine

In our lives we meet or possibly know people who influence our life in different ways.  These people may just inspire whereas others become both a formal mentor or an informal.  I've had a few mentors in different areas of my life starting in high school, in college and at my previous employer.  I found I gravitate towards the movers and the shakers and gender has had no boundaries.  In my latest project, I found or she found me a woman who is one of those informal mentors.  She has helped with my nine year old's non-profit, showed an enormous big heart to other causes and knows no boundaries in doing whatever it takes.  This person's name is Heather.  She not only works for a great organization for helping people with epilepsy but she also goes out of her way in volunteering time to many causes the support epilepsy. She's a leader in spreading information about epilepsy, resources for people who may not have the knowledge or money to seek help and she supports the causes that help children with epilepsy. 

Heather reaches out using her personal time and social media in raising awareness, helping to raise funds and reaches out to others in helping them. It's not just a job to Heather as she goes above and beyond in so many ways while still juggling being a mom. Heather leaves a glowing impression on everyone she touches. She's a busy mom of two young children and is definitely a woman who shines.  I know many woman worthy of such a title but she instantly popped in my mind given my long history with her and knowing how many lives she has touched.

Recognizing those that do great things is not hard to do.  They have already done the hard work so it's natural to want to reach out and give a boost to show someone that their efforts are appreciated.  I know that people who do great things don't normally seek out recognition which is why programs such as Yahoo's Women Who Shine is a wonderful way to show that woman who gives herself back to others that they are valued, appreciated and loved on a different level.  You can also participate in recognizing a woman who shines in your life by visiting Yahoo's Shine and nominating her now.  If you don't nominate someone, please click on this link and vote for Heather.

Halloween Trick Or Treat Cookies from Smiley Cookie Review

Halloween is a big deal in my house given a house full of girls who love to dress up.  The trick or treat aspect is the bonus as what kid doesn't love getting candy and other treats? I haven't decided what is the bigger thrill:  the costumes or the treats.  When Halloween starts approaching, we spend time picking out the perfect costumes and what treats we will hand out and which treats we'll eat.  We love Halloween in that all the theme inspired treats come out like cookies and we are big cookie fans!  Smiley Cookie is no stranger to catering to us cookie lovers and has these cute Halloween cookies that we were able to sample.

Smiley Cookies are baked fresh with pure ingredients making it the perfect choice for Halloween treats for yourself, parties or trick or treaters since they can also be ordered individually wrapped.  They are nut free so no worries for those with food allergies and they are kosher while packing in under 100 calories per cookie!  They are 2.5 inches round making it a great snack.

The cookies arrived in the mail intact.  None of them were crumbly or partial.  They were fresh and tasted great.  My soon to be son-in-law loved them the most so I'm letting him take a few back on his plane trip home.  The faces are whimsical enough to not scare little ones and the icing was not overpowering.  It was a perfect combination!

If you are like me, you might even have a friend or family member with a birthday on Halloween or near Halloween which makes these spooky tasty cookies a great idea for Halloween gifts.  You can also save 10% with code BLOG10 at checkout.  Check out Smiley Cookies Facebook page to stay up to date on the latest.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Free Blogger Event: SuperMe! Choice of Bag & Patch Giveaway

 

Check out my other giveaways here.

SuperME! Uncover the Hero Within Bag & Patch Giveaway - Value $50 - 10/7 - US

My girls love to play dress up and with that comes big imaginations.  I love that they have the ability to be so creative and not be reliant on a television or computer to tap into the virtual world.  They also tend to be a bit tomboyish which also doesn't bother me as that's how I grew up.  Just because you might have a little tomboy at home, it doesn't mean they don't love pretending to be super heroes and save the world even if it's just Barbie trapped in a castle.  Boys love pretending just as much and enjoy strapping on a super hero cape and mask to save their little world of imagination from the mean powers to be.  This type of fun should be encouraged as not only does it tap into creativity but it encourages physical activity as you know, it's pretty tiring jumping over tall buildings and saving all those people!  This is where I instantly fell for SuperME! It's creativity and functionality all in one.

From Cape Backpacks to Messenger Lunch Bags, they have your little super hero covered and set to save the day.  With a great assortment of interchangeable patches that adds a bit of themselves, they are ready to go.  All SuperME! products provide fun for both genders and allow for recognition of many activities with the patches for example:

• Soccer
• Cyclist
• Fashionista
• Race Car
• Explorer
• Pirate

The backpacks are lightweight which helps to cut down on back burden given the amount of homework kids have now.  The backpack converts easily into a superhero cape and has an eyemask.  I have not reviewed this but I know my girls have put it on their very early Christmas list! 

The Messenger Style Lunch Bags are insulated, water resistant and the removable strap converts into a superhero utility belt!  We did review this and my girls instantly fell in love with it and almost fought over it until I told them I would buy another one so they both have one.  We received the Bubblicious Messenger Bag for Girls and it's durable, lightweight, roomy and the fact it's insulated, will help keep cold food cold and hot food warm.  It's a must have if you have a super hero at home and takes their lunch to school.  It has other uses as well as we have brought it along on picnics and trips in the car.  It's a great way to encourage creativity while providing a great way to bring lunch.  We have had ours for about a month and I have no complaints as it's still like new.

The Giveaway:

One reader will win their choice of a SuperME! bag and patch (up to retail value $50).
