Do you do Santa? We went to go visit Santa today at the mall. My youngest was not thrilled with Santa. He didn't want to be near him. We did get pictures of all 4 of them. Although the youngest two are not smiling at all. 2 out 4 isn't bad right?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwkWr5Yv1sDErrotE4mwb0qHGrLzf8HyAdeaKgp6N2KVnqz31Jr2UW7ydt_MOQ8Lbuk7cay37Ekl4nqKGhw7NUpnsMH4NmYqFriuXOMVK36iZJIreKQMGFARaHFF2xh5xzub7Mhjvy5b32/s1600/376282_10150405466445318_663085317_8994803_2012660795_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682838715948963586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwkWr5Yv1sDErrotE4mwb0qHGrLzf8HyAdeaKgp6N2KVnqz31Jr2UW7ydt_MOQ8Lbuk7cay37Ekl4nqKGhw7NUpnsMH4NmYqFriuXOMVK36iZJIreKQMGFARaHFF2xh5xzub7Mhjvy5b32/s320/376282_10150405466445318_663085317_8994803_2012660795_n.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;" /></a><br />This year we also decided to start a new family tradition. Have you heard of The Elf on the Shelf? I just found out about it this year. I started looking into it and found out it was kind of pricey. So I searched on Amazon to see if I could find something else. I found Christopher Pop-In-Kin. It is the same thing as The Elf on the Shelf but I think he is much cuter. We just got Christopher in the mail today. We worked it out so we visited Santa and had him tell the kids that he already left a special gift on the porch. It was so awesome that he did this for us. So we came home and found the gift bag with a note on it. The bag was open and only a book was inside. The kids were so confused until we read the book. They looked around and found Christopher on the mantel of our fire place. All night they talked to him and tried to get him to move. It was so cute.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhm2pmlVnMX5xjEsq9_E-d_R_Fjel1Pna7up5L3HVBAZ0_In4KYFzwejiZqk0zhFfhpGruJNBepOUYE3qqaMdvJTuL9mESYX0n3ENE-4Z8kwIwZCs4dlsn8XLHeyH2WSaJuY-Ee9DavnA3/s1600/374175_10151009954380646_829375645_22048396_1023074133_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682836536616383282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhm2pmlVnMX5xjEsq9_E-d_R_Fjel1Pna7up5L3HVBAZ0_In4KYFzwejiZqk0zhFfhpGruJNBepOUYE3qqaMdvJTuL9mESYX0n3ENE-4Z8kwIwZCs4dlsn8XLHeyH2WSaJuY-Ee9DavnA3/s320/374175_10151009954380646_829375645_22048396_1023074133_n.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQjl7ZtR_noybgAxeQictf5wm6ltLEMMBm92SJs1wgBPFqyZOt6QPnEqlrOCbXVJ9ABo2CxaGwIOIcWLg_Jsh0Bcco9oqt1qqDOI1iCwT-SCP4oqtCoo5L8d0zgazBP5D-0HxE3YDVcOdx/s1600/388149_10151009904465646_829375645_22048284_1150908795_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682837116284117154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQjl7ZtR_noybgAxeQictf5wm6ltLEMMBm92SJs1wgBPFqyZOt6QPnEqlrOCbXVJ9ABo2CxaGwIOIcWLg_Jsh0Bcco9oqt1qqDOI1iCwT-SCP4oqtCoo5L8d0zgazBP5D-0HxE3YDVcOdx/s320/388149_10151009904465646_829375645_22048284_1150908795_n.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09146968691153764330noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463085767423830796.post-35349438062616153432012-09-27T22:56:00.001-04:002012-09-27T22:57:29.386-04:00Mom's Point of Veiw has moved!I am happy to announce that Mom's Point of View has moved and is now a dot com!

<a href="http://www.triviapartystarters.com/">Trivia Party Starters</a> is a great way to get a conversation started, get you thinking and having fun all at the same time. You get 20 napkins in a package and there are 2 questions on each. That is a total of 40 questions you can ask your guests.<br />
<br />
So let's learn a little more about Trivia Party Starters:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_572403942"><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We love Trivia and when we created our
exciting lineup of Trivia Cocktail Napkins, we saw firsthand that a lot
of other people liked Trivia too!</span></i></a><br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_572403942"><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
Our product is a great way to get people talking to each other about the
questions and the answers and who knows where the conversation goes
from there. Sometimes when you have a party it takes a little time to
get the conversation rolling.</span></i></a><br />

<br />
<br />
I had a Dove Chocolate Party with some of my friends and we asked questions to our friends and found out this was really fun for any type of party. My kids even wanted in on the action and I was able to find some for them to answer. Trivia Party Starters even makes a set for kids. So people of all different ages can enjoy these napkins.<br />
<br />
Here is sample questions from my Celebrity Trivia Pack:<br />
<br />
How long was Bernie Madoff's jail sentence? What was the longest sentence in history?<br />
<br />
Who played the Tool Time girl on "Home Improvement"?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
While I did not know the answer to the first question, I did to the second because Home Improvement was one of my favorite shows to watch. So you see why I chose this one to show you. <br />
<br />
Here are the answers: <br />
<br />
150 years; the longest sentence was 7,109 years given to a postman in Spain for failing to deliver 43,000 letters.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I recently had the opportunity to
review <a href="http://popcornflix.com/">Popcornflix </a>. I must say it is nice to be able to have a
site to view movies for free. Other sites you usually have to pay
something to watch a movie but Popcornflix is absolutely free.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
One of my first thoughts was how is
this site free? So I emailed them and got this response...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Popcornflix
owns the rights to all the movies on their site – so it’s free
and legal. They just get revenue from ads.</i></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
think it is great that Popcornflix made it so movies are free for
everyone. (Right now they only reach the US but they are working on reaching further.) You will see a lot of ads in the movies but you must
remember Popcornflix did this for you so they could offer these
movies free for you. </span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And
a little more about Popcornflix:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_213449304"><i><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We
love movies! Popcornflix was created for people like us who want to
watch "Great Movies. Free." Popcornflix has full-length
movies that will make you laugh, make you cry, scare the heck out of
you, or inspire you to hug the person you love. We have compelling
documentaries, foreign films, unique original web series, and a place
that showcases the brightest film makers of tomorrow. We built
Popcornflix to be the most user friendly movie destination on the
web. No movie is more than two clicks away and they are all FREE. </span></span></span></i></a>
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_213449304"><i>We at Popcornflix want to thank our "parent" Screen
Media Ventures, LLC for giving us a home and an endless flow of great
films. </i></a>
<br />
<a href="http://popcornflix.com/about.aspx"><i>Screen Media Ventures, LLC, founded in 1999, is the largestindependent distributor of motion pictures to the world widetelevision market. The company is one of the leading motion picturedistributors of theatrical, home video, digital and television bothin the U.S. and internationally. With over 1500 movies, Screen Mediahas one of the largest independently owned film libraries in themotion picture industry. </i></a>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Popcornflix
is easy to use. You can search by genre, new arrivals, or most
popular. All you have to do is click and browse through the movies.
Then once you picked a movie hit play. Also something I just figured out
while just clicking around is that when you have a R rated movie come
up you must type in your birth date to watch it. I don't watch R
movies but I like the idea of having to put in your birth date to
watch it. </span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have watched two movies on Popcornflix so far and I must say I
loved them. I was in the mood for comedy so I watched one called
Bridal Fever that stars Delta Burke. I was laughing pretty hard
while watching this movie. It was great. The other movie I watched
was called a Wedding for Bella. This movie was more of a drama and
stars Scott Baio. Warning there is some language and you will shed
tears. It was a wonderful movie.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So if you are looking for a place to watch movies for free check out <a href="http://popcornflix./">Popcornflix.</a></span></span></span><br />

I was recently contacted by <a href="http://freshproduceclothes.com/">Fresh Produce Clothing</a> and I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing something from their clothing line. After I went to the website I couldn't refuse! They have cute clothes!<br />
<br />
My favorite part about <a href="http://freshproduceclothes.com/">Fresh Produce Clothing</a> is that they are modest. Most clothes today you see every part of a woman's body and nothing is left up to the imagination. Modest clothing is very hard to find today. They also have clothes for little girls.<br />
<br />
So let's find out a little how Fresh Produce got it's start...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1742225833"><i>Today, Fresh Produce designs, manufactures and markets a leading
women’s and children’s lifestyle brand of clothing. In women’s apparel,
the Fresh Produce brand is known for its original prints, vibrant color
and stylish, comfortable clothing, all designed and created by CEO, Mary
Ellen Vernon. For nearly three decades, Fresh Produce has delighted
women with beautiful clothing that is primarily made in the USA. </i></a><br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1742225833"><i>The heart of the Fresh Produce is rooted in the positive impact of
color. We love color and want our customers to light up the room in our
clothes. From casual tops and feminine dresses to decorative scarves and
stylish pants, Fresh Produce is dedicated to creating feel-good clothes
women want to wear <i>every day</i>. The coastal-inspired colors and
broad assortment of easy-to-wear pieces are flattering and comfortable
on all shapes and sizes and are available in Extra Fresh plus sizes as
well as children’s styles. The comfortable fabrics, fit and style
reflect carefree ease.</i></a><br />
<a href="http://freshproduceclothes.com/our-story"><i>Fresh Produce clothes are available at 25 company-owned retail boutiques, online and at more than 500 independent retailers throughout the continental US, Canada, Hawaii and the Caribbean, including 13 ‘Handpicked’ dealer locations. The Handpicked dealers utilize the Fresh Produce retail trade dress and stock a broad assortment of Fresh Produce’s most current styles. </i></a><br />
<br />
<br />
So after spending about a half an hour looking at their clothes (ok so it may have been longer lol) I decided on what I wanted to review...<br />
<br />

I decided to get the Effortless Dress in Augustine in a pink color called Tropical Punch. I usually don't wear pink but I was looking to expand my colors in my closet. I really love this dress. I love the look and feel and the way it fits.<br />

<br />
Being a mom of four who is on the go for soccer, it is important to me to find a bag that can carry food for the long days at soccer. This is a great bag for just that. <br />
<br />
I decided to pack our kids a lunch this Saturday for their games because my son had a game that was further away than normal. I was afraid we may not have time to get back to our house for lunch. I packed their lunch in the Reusit BlueAvocado Big Chil Large Insulated Reusable Shopping Bag. Turns out we did have some extra time so we were able to come back to our house where I filled up water bottles and a milk bottle for our youngest.<br />
<br />
I was afraid that it would go bad because the baby had fallen asleep. The bag is insulated so it kept the bottle cool. I really love how much room is in this bag because it great for packing a lunch for my family of 6. Also I know it will be great for when we go to the park and want to have picnics.<br />
<br />
Here is a little more info on the bag...<br />
<ul>
<li>Replaces plastic shopping bags and paper lunch bags
</li>
<li>Insulated – pvc-free liner keeps contents hot/cold for up to 3 hours
</li>
<li>Zip-top closure
</li>
<li>Holds 3 gallons
</li>
<li>Made from recycled materials
</li>
<li>1% of sales donated to global women's micro-entrepreneurship</li>
<li>The size of the bag is 12.5"H x 21"W x 9”D </li>
</ul>
The bag comes in two different colors. The navy blue you can see in my above picture and also a kiwi color. The tote bag costs $22.95. Don't forget to check out Reuseit's other <a href="http://www.reuseit.com/store/Tote_Shopping+Bags-c-238_239.html?attributes=Style%7CTote">tote bags</a>. <br />

Tone Up Tuesday. What are you doing to tone up?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are a few ideas....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I think this is a good idea. You can even make your own Bingo card with the exercises you enjoy most. Maybe when you get a Bingo from doing the exercises you can award yourself with a treat. A healthy treat :)<br />

I am going to start a What I am Wearing Wednesday.<br /><br />A little background on why I decided to start this. I decided to start this because I also just started my own business selling lia sophia jewelry. If you have not heard of lia sophia then you should go check out my site <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.liasophia.com/terriwalsh">www.liasophia.com/terriwalsh</a> and learn more about lia sophia.<br /><br />So I am going to start posting what lia sophia jewelry I am wearing, how much it is and how much you could get it for. So let's start off with this photo...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd4TCxhN3S3k4JF2KQbSB05mSQKLvH52Kt4Ueapwy_r4Y7X76T46AkS1rfykmFmnlPcNNhuAXgIjnzBEfG2Ths_CjHy0R3vyJ1zhd3dCNH8nok4h1Xkn8XMhE2g3fljNXEyoJrkHY0gLU/s1600/482033_10151404737850646_829375645_23470278_573339397_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd4TCxhN3S3k4JF2KQbSB05mSQKLvH52Kt4Ueapwy_r4Y7X76T46AkS1rfykmFmnlPcNNhuAXgIjnzBEfG2Ths_CjHy0R3vyJ1zhd3dCNH8nok4h1Xkn8XMhE2g3fljNXEyoJrkHY0gLU/s400/482033_10151404737850646_829375645_23470278_573339397_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732825455525172674" border="0" /></a><br />I am wearing the Bubble Bath necklace which sells for $88 and Caleigh earrings which sell for $28.00. This month with lia sophia you can buy 2 pieces at regular price (being your cheapest) items and get up to 4 pieces half off (being your most expensive items).<br /><br />So if I were to buy two earring that were around $28.00 I could get the necklace for $44. Also I could get 3 more pieces for half off. So that is a pretty awesome deal. Also this jewelry has a life time guaranteed on it. If you break it or a child breaks it then you can get it replaced.<br /><br />So there is my longer than normal post. I will have this post shorter the next time I do this.Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03951897314936331874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463085767423830796.post-69943529754157127212012-04-17T00:00:00.000-04:002012-04-17T00:00:06.796-04:00Tone up Tuesday:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRF5BMmP8hDDF1xKBH2FKm-D368MVxrm54sK_ases0wVRQvTqZPqI-d3Vu1hv_zdnWFBuEJxM5MaILOmhDoK9QbJo5yxz_tcbNJutAcipXdnEesyHNnR2dOpSNRc_G6TQx2Vb2koiw0HQ/s1600/toneup.jpeg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 120px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRF5BMmP8hDDF1xKBH2FKm-D368MVxrm54sK_ases0wVRQvTqZPqI-d3Vu1hv_zdnWFBuEJxM5MaILOmhDoK9QbJo5yxz_tcbNJutAcipXdnEesyHNnR2dOpSNRc_G6TQx2Vb2koiw0HQ/s400/toneup.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731827046993121698" border="0" /></a>Tone Up Tuesday: What are you doing to Tone Up? I am going to have to do a restart on toning up lately. I have been a major slacker lately. With birthdays, holidays and spring break I got lazy when it comes to fitness. So I have been browsing around looking for a restart to my fitness.<br /><br /><br /><br />Here is what I came up with....<br /><br />I have to laugh at this one because lately I have been feeling lazy. So I think when you don't feel like doing much give this one a try cause it is better than nothing.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_mYP0Id-Wvi4kPBq5vuy_d_329EEduXOsrA1KVavBx_yhuLtG6K9ssWurCXoLsX6R9efmpDTlNGAfVcDFCp2TWXtCBmIlBdVcdtFk6y-862cz8Qhyphenhyphen_iyLVs5rzR9XQYlDw5FFCLYlH3Y/s1600/4925880812620662_82rzSvEF_f.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_mYP0Id-Wvi4kPBq5vuy_d_329EEduXOsrA1KVavBx_yhuLtG6K9ssWurCXoLsX6R9efmpDTlNGAfVcDFCp2TWXtCBmIlBdVcdtFk6y-862cz8Qhyphenhyphen_iyLVs5rzR9XQYlDw5FFCLYlH3Y/s400/4925880812620662_82rzSvEF_f.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731830479084176770" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And here is another one...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4dLxqA-hUPMViv75HQ_6OytmgwiCxnQk_LUiNBJaT73dUWVHjNBJDbdwVt_oEZEoHeei6fGtE1WtNbCPg446OpLaeLZk0ujkb4a4HRyuFRIqzxCQmSpytIlqpeWydcY2LoUVo3LM69OU/s1600/118008452706018456_GeQhLiKt_f.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4dLxqA-hUPMViv75HQ_6OytmgwiCxnQk_LUiNBJaT73dUWVHjNBJDbdwVt_oEZEoHeei6fGtE1WtNbCPg446OpLaeLZk0ujkb4a4HRyuFRIqzxCQmSpytIlqpeWydcY2LoUVo3LM69OU/s400/118008452706018456_GeQhLiKt_f.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731830763382893970" /></a>Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03951897314936331874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463085767423830796.post-35285435587134730202012-04-16T00:00:00.001-04:002012-04-16T00:05:37.906-04:00Castle Ink Review<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.castleink.com/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 248px; height: 68px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigS8I2ULnsDqmPf83Qm2eflh6mszUhTS3MNvEh-D-mqkfkFwdirGfQ7GyvGs5DaUlFWRloIUHu18BygL2EXKJCIOIeS1R4_5kWZCSm99okw3kjyQ_TkMdQhUtbUZYD3BhkWkxWphCsA2g/s400/logo.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731825962523388914" border="0" /></a><br />Are you looking for ink that also has a great way to earn money for yourself or charity?

I was very happy to learn of their sponsorship with The National Breast Cancer Foundation. You can read more about that <a href="http://www.cureologybeauty.com/partnership_wnbcf.html">here.</a><br /><br />The reason I am so happy with their sponsorship with the NBCF is because I have had 3 very close people in my life who have fought breast cancer and have won the battle. This is a great organization in my book to support.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn628U58231YQZjTO5UfB1mBJTakwrpE0h_H6fpNeKjCijXu3bkuRWb_OG7pKfSphfq2bqXhXeeYFmRYrqXVfb1-k0GTS2E6mwtWAFXOal78uRaPmwdWDegFh18qs3Ni23xIlJs5C0qJA/s1600/26.72.1308740553-cms.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 306px; height: 306px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn628U58231YQZjTO5UfB1mBJTakwrpE0h_H6fpNeKjCijXu3bkuRWb_OG7pKfSphfq2bqXhXeeYFmRYrqXVfb1-k0GTS2E6mwtWAFXOal78uRaPmwdWDegFh18qs3Ni23xIlJs5C0qJA/s400/26.72.1308740553-cms.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725127492460630946" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So now let's learn a little more about <a href="http://www.cureologybeauty.com/">Cureology. </a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Cureology is made with a simple premise: That shampooing, conditioning, and styling your hair should be beneficial to both the scalp and hair.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> At Curelogy Beauty we use the restorative powers of a new, Natural Ingredient Technology that helps to restore the scalp and hair back to a healthy and youthful feel and appearance.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Cureology Beauty is produced with the utmost respect to human health, our environment, and our future. At Cureology Beauty we adhere to the following principles-</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"> Procure and use only ingredients that are available from renewable sustainable resources when and wherever available.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> We use only organically grown ingredients.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> We do not add harmful salt or other thickeners to our formulations which are harmful to the hair, hair color and scalp.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> Cureology Beauty is the only hair care line that utilizes a Dual Proprietary Sun Screening System to help protect the hair, hair color and hairline from the ravaging effects of UVA and UVB rays as well as Ozone.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> Cureology Beauty utilizes a proprietary blend of botanicals, antioxidants, essential oils, vitamins, and Omega3 to create the most beneficially fabulous hair care line in the world.</span><br /><br />So you can see Cureology is about being helpful to the environment as well.<br /><br />I have used the products now for a few weeks and I love the smell. It is not over powering. It has a light smell and leaves your hair feeling light and soft. I love being able to run my fingers through my hair and feeling how soft it is. I do have to say I must use the re-conditioner because if I don't I will have a lot of knots in my hair. That just may be me I always have to use conditioner.<br /><br />So now here is the fun part. I get to give away the same product I used. one lucky reader will get the shampoo and re-conditioner.<br /><br />All you have to do is leave a comment below with your email. <span style="font-weight: bold;">(I will not accept any entries without an email.)</span><br /><br />You can also do the following for extra entries.

Create a Lucky Life All Year Round</span> <p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';FONT-SIZE:12pt">Seed your day by getting lucky first thing in the morning!<span> </span>Even if you’re traditionally not a morning person (wink) there are some things that anyone can do to start the day off from a place of anticipation, expectation, gratitude and joy.<span> </span>The very first thing you see the very first time you open your eyes in the morning will influence and impact, not only that particular day but potentially your entire life.<span> </span>If the first thing you spy as you open your eyes is a desk full or unfinished business or exercise equipment (a ‘no – no’ in the bedroom anyway!) with the dry cleaning hanging on it or an open bottle of Vick’s NyQuil from the cold you had a week ago, well, imagine how these images impact your experience.<span> </span>On the other hand if you have a clean and clutter free sleeping space with a beautiful comforter keeping you cozy and warm and some images or artwork of beauty and possibly even some soft music playing in the background, well, then you might feel fully present as you express “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”<span> </span>Beginning your day in a state of present of gratitude also begins your day with grace.<span> </span>And don’t forget that ages-old legend and lore says that if you get out of bed by climbing over the foot of it, you’ll have outstanding luck all the day long.</span><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-SIZE:12pt"> </span><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';FONT-SIZE:12pt"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/EllenWhitehurst" target="_blank"><span style="COLOR:blue">www.facebook.com/<wbr>EllenWhitehurst</span></a></span><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';FONT-SIZE:12pt"> </span></p> <p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';FONT-SIZE:12pt">Now, speaking of expectation, recent scientific research done on the difference between lucky and unlucky people shows that lucky people’s expectations, their dreams, goals, hopes and ambitions often become a reality because of one fundamental difference in how lucky people think.<span> </span>Simply put lucky people have positive expectations that then motivate them to take control of their lives.<span> </span>They will actually attempt to achieve whatever they want from life no matter the likelihood of being successful.<span> </span>This internal motivation prompts lucky people to persist even in the face of challenge, obstacle or adversity.<span> </span>Lucky people define at least five goals for themselves on a regular basis by writing them down and looking at them often.<span> </span>And, then, they take (at least!) one proactive step each day towards reaching those same goals.<span> </span>They reach out or join in or even simply do a positive meditative visualization of what they will FEEL like when their goal is reached.<span> </span>Lucky people expect success.<span> </span>And, so, they often achieve it.</span></p> <p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';FONT-SIZE:12pt">Invariably and, again, according to scientific studies, lucky people are found to follow their instincts, intuition and plain old gut hunches much, MUCH more than those who consider themselves to be unlucky.<span> </span>The lucky bunch do different things in order to enhance their intuition and hone their instincts such as investing time and energy in some formal form of meditation or simply sitting quietly and clearing their mind and focusing on the first thoughts that come to that same place after asking an appropriate question.<span> </span>Creating a sense of stillness in order to get in touch with intuitive inspiration is a hallmark of lucky people and can add immeasurably to a state of clarity and calm as well.<span> </span>Go ahead, ask any harried mom how lucky they are when they can find a personal peace as well as some clarity and calm.<span> </span>See?<span> </span>Lucky.</span></p> <p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';FONT-SIZE:12pt">These three tips are applicable to anyone at any time and in any place.<span> </span>Exercised with regularity and belief they can help anyone to create a luckier life filled with health, happiness, love and prosperity.</span></p><br /><span

This Tuesday I am taking the chance to show you all that I have not been just giving you ideas on Tone up Tuesday but I have been working hard to get fit.<br /><br />Since the first of this year I have been trying my best to loose weight. I actually accomplished it! I have lost a total of 20 lbs! I had no clue how big of a change in my looks it made until my husband took a picture the other night. I have been getting many wonderful comments about how much weight I have lost. My husband tells me almost every day that I am wasting away. I love all the compliments because it keeps me going. <p>I have also been asked what is my secret? No secret at all. I have been cutting back my calorie intake to about 1100 a day. I also have tried my best to cut out sugars and breads. Those two things are my weaknesses. I also only drink flavored water and occasionally a glass of milk or juice. I also cheat! Oh yeah I will cheat and eat something not so good for me or go over my calorie count maybe once every other week. Of course there are also date nights where I won’t worry about what I eat. Don’t be afraid to cheat every now and then. Also if you feel like you have done bad one day don’t worry just start new the next day and try your best.</p> <p>I also started doing Jillian Michael’s Shred but I only did it for 2 weeks because I started feeling bad. I love the work out and it makes me feel good after I do it. It is not easy though. The first 2 days you really just want to cry. I pretty much did the first day. It works every part of your body…So worth getting past the first 2 days. So there is my secret :) I hope to loose about 10 more pounds.</p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

It is different an almost has a Sci-Fi look to it. (Brings out the nerd in me.) The color when lighting up a room is a blueish color at night and it is very bright. During the day the color isn't as blue. Also what is nice is that this bulb is cool to the touch at all times, so it is good that you don't have to wait for the bulb to cool down. Of course I had my awesome husband test that for me.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2oHidNYkH-JJgJL8tQF7HpXZMMWZONc2cTpKF48VTgCoQ4IkCErvcvgKZOlSlePGibMfFDsBg5fks2lmHjt7tC1dulaLHW6HtysdGTvFfrL5zRGMA25Jifs07i8jNE4LTQn7omTGI3k0/s1600/402818_10150479554040318_663085317_9281126_767987345_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2oHidNYkH-JJgJL8tQF7HpXZMMWZONc2cTpKF48VTgCoQ4IkCErvcvgKZOlSlePGibMfFDsBg5fks2lmHjt7tC1dulaLHW6HtysdGTvFfrL5zRGMA25Jifs07i8jNE4LTQn7omTGI3k0/s400/402818_10150479554040318_663085317_9281126_767987345_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708644260361026578" border="0" /></a><br /></p>The more I look at the pictures the more I love this light bulb.
