More giveaways to come soon!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day you can enter to win a $25 Sam’s Club Gift Card!  Giveaway closes at 8pm EST on Friday, 08/13.

Go HERE to enter!

Sam’s Club is having a Back-to-School event August 11th – 31st.  They are offering the chance for you to earn more cash for your school through the Box Tops for Education Program.  You will find an additional 6 Box Tops on participating General Mills products during this event.  Sam’s Club wants to be your one-stop shop for all your back-to-school needs!

I know first hand the benefits of Box Tops on school funding.  My mother-in-law is the coordinator for the Box Tops program at her elementary school.  Her school earned $1,323.00 in 2009!  All the money went directly to student activities which is extremely important during a time of massive education budget cuts. If you don’t have children or your children don’t attend a school that participates in the program, consider donating the Box Tops to another school in your area.

In addition to offering additional Box Tops on products, you will earn even more Box Tops when you upgrade your Sam’s Club membership to a “Plus Membership.”  Visit the Member Services Desk at your local Sam’s Club from August 6th -13th, and you will receive a certificate for 150 Bonus Box Tops upon payment for your Plus Membership! The offer is valid while supplies last only. Head to the Sam’s Club website for more information on the Back-to-School event.

I have been given the opportunity to giveaway a $25 Sam’s Club Gift Card to one lucky winner!  I was also provided with a gift card to start my back-to-school shopping.  I’ll post my purchases when I announce the winner.  The event doesn’t start until the 11th, and I want to make sure the winner has plenty of time to use the gift card during the Back-to-School event.  I know I’ll be purchasing a jumbo box of Nature Valley granola bars!

The eos products giveaway ends tomorrow, August 4th.

Go HERE to enter for your chance to win eos smooth sphere lip balm and shave cream!

I just had to come back here and mention about an entry for the giveaway.  Julie’s trying to get past the age when lip balm is fun. I laughed.  My kids think it’s the coolest thing ever!  Thanks Julie for giving me my chuckle for the day!

*CLOSED*

I was given the opportunity to review and give away an evolution of smooth (eos) ultra moisturizing shave cream and smooth sphere lip balm. The shave cream is available in 6 varieties.  It’s a non-foaming cream enriched with natural aloe, oat, and shea butter.  The shave cream is also Paraben-free and doesn’t use animal by-products.  The smooth sphere lip balm comes in 4 varieties and is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free.

Evolution of smooth also carries hand and body lotion as well as a smooth stick lip balm.  The lotion and smooth stick lip balm are available in 3 varieties.  I also liked that eos products are not tested on animals.

Review:  I was provided with vanilla bliss ultra moisturizing shave cream and lemon drop (with SPF 15) smooth sphere lip balm to try in my home.  This is not my first experience with eos products.  I had the opportunity to try the sweet mint smooth sphere lip balm during a Walgreen’s promotion. My family enjoyed the product and it lasted us for months!  I also received a sample of the pomegranate raspberry shave cream in the mail about a month ago.

**Mandatory Entry: Go to the eos website and tell me 1 product variety you would like to try.  Leave a comment letting me know the product variety you have chosen.
