Giveaway & Review: Datevitations!!!! AND $10 off promo code to get your own!

I love giving my husband gifts that are personalized from for just him from me or the kiddos. While I could have gone in the direction of creating his Datevitation coupon book geared from the boys for Father's Day ( they can be made for any occasion from anyone), I chose to make it from me to him!

He's due to deploy later this year, so with that in mind I created a book that entailed coupons "just for us." From little getaways and date nights to some bedroom fun ones! Because let's face it, we have A LOT of bedroom/wherever in the house time to fill before he leaves and why not do so with some fun Datevitations to play around with too?!?

I had fun picking out his custom love coupons that went into his Datevitation Book. Chose a blank first page to handwrite my own little note on and was even able to customize my own words on them! Though a couple that I chose already had a perfect idea written out!

  

• Datevitation.com is the web's first online platform to create a custom love coupon book. Unlike the pre-packaged love coupon books on the market, you pick the dates and can customize the text to your liking.  Once you are done customizing the text in your book, Datevitation will print it out and ship it to you.
• Our library contains over 350 date ideas ranging from skydiving to stargazing to steamy adult-only activities. We also have over 100 book cover options to suit any occasion.
• In addition to being the perfect romantic gift for your sweetie, Datevitation just launched its "boy" and "girl" characters with over 200 new activity illustrations specifically for kids and parents.  Just in time for Father’s Day!

• Books normally start at just $20 so it makes for a thoughtful yet economical gift.  But as a special treat for my friends, you can use the code  ‘MARINEWIFE’  for $10 off your purchase in May or June.  That means you can get your loved one a one-of-a-kind gift for Father’s day starting at just $10!  The order cut-off date for guaranteed delivery by Father’s Day is June 6 so make sure to get your order in before then!
• Datevitation is a family business run by the husband-wife team of Alex and Olga Karpman.  You can get to know them on the Datevitation blog, where they offer video guides to date ideas and romantic gestures. You can even watch Alex propose to Olga in a video they posted on Youtube as a Save The Date, and now has over 1,000,000 views (you can view the video here)!

Giveaway & Review: Happy Baby Organic Superfoods from Happy Family Brands!!!

Say hello to the Mini Marine's favorite new organic snacks by Happy Family Brands!

After being contacted by Happy Family Brands Associate Manager for their Military Division to conduct a review and giveaway, I had my husband look into the nutritional value of their Organic Superfoods Snacks. He's the health nut guru of the family and was pleased and impressed with their snacks ingredients. (This says A LOT!) From there I was given the "green light" to say yes! :)

Happy Family Brands Organic Superfoods has snacks for baby's, Toddlers, Kids AND Adults!! They are sold all over the states from Publix, Harris Teeter and even at several Commissaries aboard different Military Bases!!!

Review:

As a good mom (or weird to everyone else in the house) always does, I took a taste test of each snack before letting our Mini Marine have any. Much to the disgust of the man-child watch me eat "baby" food. That was until I raved about how yummy it was and he asked to also try the Veggie Pals Carrot Orange Apple Chews and Happy Times & Happy Yogis snacks. Only to then say: "Man Mikey you're lucky! Those things are good!"

Baby sure didn't argue as he sucked down Happy Baby Grains, Happy Baby Greek Yogurt and Happy Squeeze in seconds! Or when he couldn't shovel the Veggie Pals, Happy Times or Happy Yogis into his mouth fast enough!! I'd say he enjoyed them A LOT!! Pretty cool that they sell them at Harris Teeter out here too!! 
Happy Baby= a Happy Mama which= a Happy Family!!

Giveaway!

Giveaway & Review: Lilla Rose Hair Jewelry

You can view the whole lot HERE and see what matches your own style.

Normally I'm THE CLAW kinda girl. I can't tell you how many I've been through. I have pretty thick, long curly hair, unless I take the time to use a straightener. And something durable and easy on the go to just throw it up and out of the way is a must! The Flexi lets me do that with a little bit more style than my normal claw.

Giveaway & Review: i heart keenwah ~ NOMNOMNOM!!

Have you heard of i heart keenwah?!?! Not to worry, I hadn't either..... But I am so glad they contacted to review their yummy snack!! And by yummy I mean DELICIOUS, mouth watering, and upsetting that I shared with my husband.... Between the two of us it was devoured quickly. 

It wasn't until last year that my husband introduced me to quinoa for the very first time. Sure I've seen it on my salad here and there but had figured it was just part of whatever dressing was on there. I fell in love with his random lunches he'd whip up with it. 

Now we've been introduced to i heart keenwah and we both love it! A healthy delicious snack that hits the spot yet leaves you craving more!

We had the chance to "taste" out i heart keenwa's ginger peanut flavor. It was AMAZING! Light, non overpowering ginger and peanut clustered with quinoa... Seriously, I wish I had requested the chance to try ALL of their flavors (seen HERE)... twice: Almond, Cranberry Cashew, Chocolate Sea Salt & Ginger Peanut!!

My husband is from Chicago and was happy to hear that i heart keenwah began right there in his home city!

About i heart keenwah:
iheartkeenwah was started by four friends: fiteh, ravi, sarah, and terah. after touring bolivia and learning about the versatility of an awesome little seed called quinoa, we returned home frustrated by the lack of ready-to-eat quinoa options. we decided to do something about it and got to work in the kitchen, mixing quinoa with other all-natural ingredients to craft a crunchy, sweet treat that satisfied our cravings.

iheartkeenwah also embodies the story of a little company that could. we started selling our snacks in neighborhood and artisanal markets in chicago and new york in 2009. by 2011 we had refined our recipe, developed shelf stable packaging, and started selling directly to specialty food markets. now we are sold by major food distributors throughout the united states and canada and can be found in over 400 specialty and grocery outlets. along the way we have grown the iheartkeenwah team, learned an incredible amount, and brought a real food snacking experience to hundreds of thousands of people. we couldn't ask for anything more!

Sponsor Spotlight & Giveaway: Beachbody Health & Fitness One Day at A Time

 

We want to get everyone forming good habits in exercise & nutrition! I have found the biggest thing we need is accountability and I have no doubt this Challenge group will help everyone with that. The group will help with menu planning & portion control, & most of all give motivation & hold everyone accountable! We share recipes, struggles, accomplishments, tips, & support! What makes this group different from others is first off we have the "WHOLE" package, FITNESS + NUTRITION + SUPPORT = SUCCESS, second we have you set goals & help you reach them (helping you tweak what you are doing to reach those goals...one size does not fit all), third we offer prizes that you work towards that give that added incentive to push, & fourth we really do care... We WANT & NEED you to reach your goals! 

You do everything at home, on your time and your schedule. No in person meetings or group workouts…Group interaction is all done on Facebook (in a private group), so you can post along with the team each day. The Challenge Group begins just started today. For the challenge you have to commit to working out at least 5 days a week & checking in everyday. We award points for lots of different things: checking in daily = 1 point, working out =1 point, replacing a meal or snack with Shakeology = 1 point ect. There are prizes you earn from those points, when you reach a certain number of points you get that level prize & continue to work towards the next level, & so on. Everyone that reaches the top tier of points & earned all the prizes will get their name in a drawing for a workout package at the end of the challenge. Again we will be there to help you with the motivation, accountability, & the support! (This month one of my challengers was struggling & I have been in phone contact with her for 2+ hours....I want you to reach success...failure is not an option) Beware we will be there pushing, motivating, & holding you accountable!

Here is what the challenge is! Its Pretty simple!

FITNESS + NUTRITION + SUPPORT = SUCCESS

The commitment is 30 days of a Beachbody workout program, Shakeology (meal/snack replacement, Protein, vitamin, antioxidant, pre & pro biotic, & energy drink, this is not only going to help you on the outside by helping you lose weight but help you on the inside by getting you healthy!) and the Challenge Group accountability page. You commit to the Beachbody workout program of your choice, Replace one meal or snack with Shakeology everyday, and a Challenge group spot for accountability and support! We all work together and help each other WIN!! The people in my current challenge group are really rocking it & having excellent results. One of my challengers started out in the mid 200's & by the end of the month she weighed in at 199, she said she couldn't remember the last time she saw that number on the scale! Another one lost 20 lbs & 8 inches, & more importantly brought her sugar levels down from between 500-600 down to 180- 200, (she is a diabetic). This month one of the gals lost 6 lbs in the first week! These results were all obtained in one of my 30 day challenges & are really exciting for me as I got to be a part of it and watch it happen!

The Initial Investment varies depending on what challenge pack you choose. The challenge pack comes with the workout program of your choice, a 30 day deluxe Beachbody club membership, & Shakeology. It is less expensive to buy the challenge packs as they are discounted from buying the products alone & you also save over $10 by getting FREE shipping.

For the first time ever challenge packs are on sale Slim in 6 & Hip Hop Abs packs are normally $160 & are now $140 & P90X & P90X 2 are normally $205 & are on sale for $180!! (These prices include shipping!)

Giveaway & Review: Dress from Lendperk!

We all know how netflix works right? Get a movie in the mail or straight your TV, send it back get another one. Welcome to Lendperk, where you can rent a designer dress, return it after you've worn it for that special occasion and rent another for the next one!!! 

So many of my "dresses" sit in the closet after only a couple of wears.... Who wants to be seen in or in pictures from several events wearing the same thing again and again?  BLAH!

Or go out and spend $$$ on something that will probably only be worn once and then hung up in the cave to never see the light of day again...

Lendperk allows you to save $$$ AND look FABULOUS while being the gal who has a new outfit for all of those great gatherings!! 
For as low as $20 a month (less than what I spend on wine) you can rent the dress of your choice, return it within 2 weeks and do so again the next month! If you don't rent one the next month you can rent 2 the following month! 
A "DRESS ROLLOVER PLAN"!!! :) 
Or, if you only want to do so once or twice, you can cancel your plan anytime!! They also have several that you can Rent and if you LOVE it too much to let it go, you can Buy it! 
(View HERE)

I was given the opportunity to review a dress of my choice from Lendperk's Closet. 

This opportunity came at the PERFECT time! I was set to attend a Joint Luncheon for the Officer's Spouse Club on Lejeune, the theme was Spring, with the invite stating something about hats & gloves..... Ummmm... Great.... This t-shirt & jeans girl doesn't own "flowery" "Springy" attire. :-/

Then along came the offer to conduct a review AND host a giveaway for Lendperk! SAVED!!! 

I picked their Closet Rainbow Floral Dress by Closet. PERFECT for the Spring themed luncheon! Now the problem was, it needed some sprusing up... Or so said my Marine "Sister", Author and fellow Marine Wife Kathleen Foley. I thought simple beige shoes with my off white sun hat would work just fine.... 

She, however, stated otherwise. Teal shoes, orange belt and a hat to go with. Well, as I went to "accessorize" (so weird saying that) I couldn't find the color shoes she said, so I did what any "non-fashionista" would do, I BLEW UP her phone with texts, pictures, and phone calls.

2 hours later, I headed home, exhausted wondering how this stuff comes naturally to other women!

Low and behold, the whole outfit turned out gorgeous!!! To the point that my nerves were calmed and I seriously considered keeping the dress and having them charge me for it!
Many compliments and questions on where I bought it. Boy were they shocked when I told them it was a rental from Lendperk! As they pulled out their smartphones and 
began ooo'ing & aaahhh'ing at the choices!
There are so many outfits that could be made out of it! 

Lendperk has found itself a new customer! Not only does the membership cover the rental, but it covers the shipments to and from you (they include the package for it to be returned) AND they take it to the cleaners so you don't have too! 

(I HATE Laundry, big added bonus for me there!)

 AND the fact that they continue to bring in new dresses to choose from is wonderful!! 

Just because I can & I know my mom and girlfriends would be disappointed if there wasn't a picture of me sticking my tongue out at the camera... :P
