Spring Cleaning: A Giveaway

Let me tell you a little something: in general, cleaning is such a big chore for me. There are a few things I don't mind doing, but other things I absolutely dread and hate (like cleaning the cat box, or the bathrooms..apparently I don't like poop).

So when I get down to cleaning, I need something to get me up and keep me going! That includes some fun music to sing along with and dance with my dogs to (you know you do it!), and cleaning products that make me happy. Yes, a cleaning product can make me happy and actually help me along with my cleaning. Vanilla scented dryer sheets? Yep, they make me want to do my laundry so I can smell it afterwards! Cucumber melon cleaning spray? Yes please - help me get the stinky food smell out of mah kitchen!

So, this is a little GIVEAWAY - and I am going to give the winner some of my most favorite cleaning products to aide them in spring cleaning - yippee!!!! I'm not going to tell you all of what this will include, but it WILL defeinitely be delicious smelling and make you happy!

To Enter: Leave a comment, and be sure to tell me what your favorite cleaning product is and why.

Deadline: Friday, March 12th!

Extra Credit?: I know you all love extra credit, so if you would like to Tweet about it or blog it, you are more than welcome to for an extra entry. Just please leave me a link to your tweet or blog. Thanks!

Happy Things

• I have been slacking at weddings things, and thus, been sucking at posting on The Bridal Bloggette. But! Today I managed to post a wee little update there, so I hope you can head over there, read it and help me out a bit! Thanks!

• I have really been trying to get my creative juices flowing again. Over the next few days I plan to be working on our save-the-dates - I found this really cute idea in a book I have, and have been dying to get it going for a while now! I also managed to add a couple new things to my Etsy shop today, and will hopefully add another few things in the next couple days :)
  
• I am planning on doing a GIVEWAY(!) later this week, just for fun.

• I have a whole chicken in the crockpot right now, along with some sliced lemons, garlic cloves, and rosemary. You should smell it. Better yet, you should definitely make it!
  
  
• I had a super fun weekend that included good times with some of my most favorite people, and even met a new one! Check out our adventures over at Mrs. Priss' site.

• Want to ask me something? I decided to start a Formspring. Ohhh goodie! :)

Status

Via Flickr.

Everyone once in a while (probably more often than that), I'll have a blogging "dry spell." Pretty much every blogger than I have followed has had this before as well. I usually like to blame it on something - other than myself, of course!!!

Colleen wrote a post the other day that pretty much hit me right on. The number of outlets most of us use for social networking is kind of redonkulous! (Yep, that's a word!). And I think that leads to a lack of actual substantial writing on here.

Do I really need to tell you about my awesome trip, when I've already posted all my pictures of Facebook (given that a lot of my close friends/bloggers are on there)? Or tell you a little blurb of nothingness when I can just do that on Twitter?

I even took a stab at Tumblr and even updating Flickr on a regular basis. But then it's like you feel like you need to post the same thing EVERYWHERE. So annoying.

What do you guys think about this? How many different sites are you on and how do you juggle between them?




SO in actual news, my Etsy shop is featured on Oh How Lovely Shops, so if you want some free hair pins you should definitely go over there, read my very exciting interview, and leave a comment to win!!!

You know you want to win this!!! :)

Oh yeah, why hello there...!

WOW I totally have sucked at updating...it's been AN ENTIRE MONTH. I blame this 100% on the fact that my e-mail change totally effed up my ability to blog. Yeah, I'll blame that. Not myself, nope. Never!!!

Well my main reason to update is to tell you about a giveaway hosted by the lovely Talia. She is giving away a ton of super cute fall-inspired things - annddd, one of those include one of my leafy hair pins! YAY! Some of my favorite people are also giving away items from their Etsy shops. Totally love this group of ladies! So if you haven't been over to her blog, you better hurry up! Leave a comment on her giveaway post by October 8th!!!

Some other things..
*Just got back from a week in Michigan - probably a post full of pictures to come soon!
*We left a week ago and it was 100 degrees, and today it's 70!!! LOVE IT.
*Planning on adding some new things to my Etsy shop this week.
*Getting excited about decorating for Halloween/Fall. I think I'm going to do that this afternoon. My giant orange tub of decor is calling my name. Do you guys have anything decor-wise you've done for fall?

Just a little fall inspiration for ya. One picture from our trip :)

I'm a winner, baby.

Have you guys heard of Metromint water? I saw a program on it in the Food Network (I think) quite a while ago, then shortly thereafter I saw some of their flavors at World Market - so I bought some (the spearmint) and it was so refreshing, different and yummy!

Anywayyyss onto the more exciting stuff, I saw a giveaway for a Metromint sample pack on Hostess With the Mostess and...because of the contest enterer I am, entered that in a heartbeat! A couple weeks ago I get an e=mail saying I WON THE CONTEST. Um, yeah...I'll be one of those people that says I do not win things...but now I can't! (Hey enter enough contests for free things...you're bound to someday win something...) So yeah, I was also super ecstatic because I had actually tried and liked the stuff.

It came in the mail this weekend (yay!) and what I got was:
-A case of cherrymint water.
-A case of chocolatemint water.
-A sample pack of all of the other flavors.
-3 reusable Metromint shopping bags.
-2 Metromint t-shirts (can we say American Apparel? Score).
-A pack of "wellness" recipes, including coconut rice (can't wait to make that).

Okay okay, here's some pictures of the stuff. I am totally saving the boxes because they are too cute.


I've tried the cherrymint and chocolatemint, and it's just like a slight hint of those flavors...you have to try it yourself. Trust me.
