Time for a HOUSEPARTY!

Last weekend I had the honor of hosting a Kleenex Handtowels Houseparty, and it was GREAT! We had such a fun time decorating our boxes and hand soaps for the upcoming Christmas season (can you believe it is right around the corner already!).

I received this opportunity from Houseparty.com (you can also find them on FB and twitter). This was my very first houseparty. They give you goodies for both the host and to share with your guests. For instance, in my kit was a package of Kleenex hand towels for me, and 12 for my guests. They also included soap making kits. You don’t actually make the soap, but they give you a bottle of sugar cookie scented liquid handsoap and some green dye to change the color, and then a pump to pour the soap into after you change the color. Of course there were 13 of those too, 1 to keep and 12 for your guests. The green dye was a little messy, but worth it since it was fun to add a lot or a little dye and then shake it up. Everyone had a great time and was very pleased with their freebies and the activities we did.

  I really hope I have the opportunity to host more Houseparty’s in the future!!! They picked today for a baking one that I really wanted, but was not picked :(. But there are only so many spots per party, and you must be patient. Some houseparties are more valuable than others too, but I am sure they will all be equally fun to host/attend.

Glade Expressions BzzCampain!

I was so excited to be picked as part of the Glade Expressions BzzCampain! I love glade products and have used the scented oil warmers on and off in my home for many years. My husband and I are smokers, so air freshners are a necessary part of everyday life. Oh boy was I happy I was able to receive my product for free, since the oil diffuser was over $8 in our Kroger store with the refills being around $5…ouch! Thankfully I was able to find refills at WalMart for when I am in need that were $3.52. I just hope they don’t sell out! The fragrance mist is much more affordable, but somewhat higher priced compared to other fragrance mist sprays. We tried the pineapple and mangosteen scent in both products; wow, it smells delicious! There are 3 other fragrances available: cotton & italian mandarin, lavender and juniper berry, and fuji apple & cardamom spice. We just love them, especially since they are both refillable products. The Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser has a strong scent at first, that kind of fades a little with time, but it does last the 30 days as stated. The Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist is a fine mist spray you can use to freshen the air periodically. They can be used in conjunction or separately which is also very nice. One of the other great points is the fact that you can just leave them sitting out on a table or shelf, they blend in with the décor very nicely, especially the oil diffuser. I have not been picked for any BzzCampains since I received this one . But I still love being a BzzAgent and having the opportunity to try great products and let everyone know how I felt about them. It is especially wonderful to have great savings to share with others.

in a constant game of catch-up!

Are you like me and feel like you are getting a lot of stuff accomplished, only to turn around and see the "to do" pile is still bigger than ever...and growing! I am finding myself in a perpetual state of trying to catch up only to find myself even farther behind. UGH! Especially after going out of town last weekend. Don't get me wrong the time with family out of town was very enjoyable, but the days ahead and just after our weekend vacay are so stressful! I don't even understand how people could ever find vacations relaxing, for me they create huge piles of laundry!

I am STILL trying to get back into a fitness regimine as well. I am still optimistic that it will happen, I just lack the motivation to make it happen! Ultimately I am the one who makes the decision to blog, look for freebies, or watch TV instead of doing what I should be doing. UGH, I need more of a conscious!!

I am still planning on blogging about my August (which I did not get till September anyway) Pop sugar must have box.  I had to cancel the September one, just didn't have the funds available for such things. I wish I could have gotten it though, the stuff that came it in looked better than what I got, or at least some of it, for me a combo of the 2 would have been perfect lol. I might still try to get one again sometime, especially if there is another deal. And I am praying that I could just win the giveaway on their youtube channel!!!! That would be AWESOME!!!

Till next time kiddos...which should be sooner than later this time...I promise to try harder :)
