French Vanilla and Hazelnut Swirl at Dunkin’ Donuts & Win $50 Gift Card {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 14 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Dunkin Donuts but my opinions are 100% my own! Dunkin' Donuts now has French Vanilla and Hazelnut Swirl! I love Dunkin' Donuts. I have for a very long time. I think the first coffee I drank was from Dunkin' Donuts!!! And they have so many great choices, more than they had when I was growing up. I think back then all you could get was regular and decaf. And maybe Ice coffee in the summer? Not even sure they offered it in the winter. And to eat, they had donuts and I think I remember maybe croissant sandwiches. But that's about it. Now? There are so many options and they keep adding to them. French Vanilla and Hazelnut Swirl now at Dunkin' Donuts And they...

Younique 3D Fiber Lashes – Do They Really Work?

by Karen Mendes | Product Review, TODAYS HOT POST | 6 Comments

I found something amazing for my eyes. Have you heard of Younique 3D Fiber Lashes? I have very short eyelashes and they are also light brown so they seem even shorter than they are. You can barely see them when I don't have mascara on. But even with mascara on, they are still short. My girls and my husband have long beautiful eyelashes. I'm very jealous! I've always wanted longer eyelashes. Earlier in the year, someone I know happened to mention that she worked at a salon applying eyelash extensions. My face light up instantly! I had been reading up on them and even told myself someday I'd try. But they are very expensive to apply and then you have to get 'fills' every few...

Berkeley Plus Backpack Review {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Case Logic but my opinions are 100% my own! Back to school is here and today I want to talk about backpacks. Specifically the Berkeley Plus Backpack because I love it! I don't ever remember using a backpack when I was in grade school. I don't think we even had homework back then. The amount of homework my girls gets each day is crazy and they are only in the 2nd and 4th grade! So a big back pack is a necessity. When my oldest went to Kindergarten the teacher sent a note home saying they needed a backpack, and a real one, not a little cutesy one. They didn't so much as have homework all the time in Kindergarten, but they took a lot of stuff home so they...

Our Summer of #SIMPLEGiving and Dole Food Drive

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 6 Comments

“I participate in this program on behalf of Champions for Kids and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own.” My parents taught me to give by example. I don't really know any other way of doing things. This summer has been a little different for my family. We had to change the way we do things because my husband has been dealing with some health issues. We've also had a ton of friends who have gone beyond their normal duty of being a friend, to make sure my family got what they needed, when they needed it. I didn't realize the love and support that we were surrounded with, until this past summer and it's been a great feeling. It makes me think of others that always need help and it...

Find Gold Emblem Abound Healthy Products on Shelves at CVS {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 5 Comments

This post is Sponsored by CVS/Pharmacy but my opinions are 100% my own! For so many reasons, I am trying more and more to help my family eat healthier. There is so much illness around us and I can only think some of it is because of how we eat. And I don't mean just my family, I mean everyone. It's so easy to drive through a fast food place and grab a quick meal. Or run into the gas station and get some chips or candy. They've made it to easy for us to make bad choices because lets face it, American's are lazier now than they have ever been. So when a company that I love makes a conscious effort to help us make better choices, I get VERY excited. If I have the option to grab...

by Karen Mendes | Product Review, TODAYS HOT POST | 6 Comments

This shop has been compensated by #CollectiveBias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. We've had a pretty busy summer. My husband is dealing with some health issues and I've been consumed with taking care of him and everyone and everything else in the house. It's been pretty crazy. Finding time for me is so hard.

Baby Tooth Book Memory Keepsake {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review, TODAYS HOT POST | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Baby Tooth Album but my opinions are 100% my own! I would love to freeze time and stop my children from growing up because it seriously goes by so fast. Since I can't do that, then I try to keep mementos of important times so I can look back one day and remember them as babies. I have stands of hair from their first hair cut, I have their first walking shoes, their outfits that they wore home from the hospital and now that they are losing their baby teeth, I have those as well. Of course they don't know I have them or that would ruin the hole 'tooth fairy' fantasy! However, they are just tossed in a jewelry box out of their reach. I think I could use a...
