Disclosure: I was provided with a free T-Shirt sample to facilitate this review however all opinions expressed are my own. When I go to the store I see shirts with funny sayings. I am always looking for that shirt that identifies me. It is not always easy. They might be funny but not on the color I like or they might not be available in on my size. There is also times when to participate in a 5K I want to form a team and have a theme and getting the t-shirts is really hard.
So, when I heard about Allied Shirts I was really impressed. They carry a great variety of colors and sizes of t-shirts and sweatshirts. Ordering is really easy.The site is very user friendly. Shipping is free and fast (around one week to receive my product). The quality of the t-shirt is good and they printing of the design is good quality. The customer service is great. I uploaded by mistake a low quality image and customer service contacted me to request an approval or to change the graph. I am glad they did just not send the original order and they contacted me to be sure I was going to like my product. And the result is a great personalized shirt that is just me: pink and fun! I am gathering ideas for my future shirts, I might just get coordinating sweatshirts for a future family vacation.... Presented by Mami Innovative Media, this is a sponsored post on behalf of Sears and Kmart. All opinions expressed here are my own The end of the year is a busy time at work. It is a busy time at school for my son (musicals and performances) and it is a busy time for parties and even friend’s birthdays.
I really prefer buying things online, because I can do it from the comfort of my warm bed and I avoid the large lines to pay. So when I heard that Sears and Kmart have free in store pick up I was really excited. Not only I can pick up the items at the store (saving the cost of shipping) but I also can earn points with my rewards card. Both Sears and Kmart offer $10 back in points if I spend at least $59 and I can opt for free in store pick up. Now that is good news. I can get some money back for future purchases. The store pick up service is also great for those last minute gift purchases. You can pick up your item in store in 5 minutes so you will still make it on time for your party. With the savings on money and time I can now say that this year our holidays will be “merrier” and I know I am going to have time for that trip to the spa! This event will be running from Saturday 12/7/13 at 6 p.m CT through Tuesday 12/10/13 at 9 a.m CT Online. You can also enjoy of the one day In-Store event which is Sunday 12/8/13. For more information visit Sears and Kmart There is not really a healthy way to have eggnog, but this recipe seems to be healthier. Hope you like it. Ingredients
Disclosure: I was provided with a complimentary manicure. All opinions are my own Last night I had the opportunity to get out of the house and have a Girls Night out with some of the wonderful ladies from SoCal Lady Bloggers, and let me tell you not only I needed the time out with girlfriends but I was also in need of a good manicure. We visited the Nail Garden salon in Valencia, CA and we got to try the delicious cupcakes from Velvet Cupcakes, so it was a true treat for all of us. Nail Garden opened their first salon five years ago, and since then they have grown so much that they have already 5 locations in SoCal and they will be opening at least 3 more in the beginning of 2014. I had never been at any of their locations but I have heard wonders from other friends and now I understand why. Their service is great. You are greeter as soon as you walk in and they offer you water, coffee and even hot chocolate (from their fancy machine). The salon is clean and very organized. The technicians are well trained and they have a great variety of services (gels, white tips, acrylics and more) and they have a great selections of colors to choose from You can choose from different types of manicures, but even the basic service includes a very relaxing hand massage and the results are great. I loved how sweet and nice Stephanie my technician was. She did an amazing job! As for our GNO organized by the SoCal Laddy Bloggers group, well it was as usual great. We had some very yummy cupcakes, hot chocolate with Baileys and we got to laugh a little bit. Now, I am sure now you want to visit one of their salons. And the good news is that from now until December 18th, they have a Toy Drive and if you donate an new, unwrapped toy you can get 15% off of any service (at any of their locations. And also now until the end of 2013 if you mention SoCal Lady Bloggers you can have a 15% off (Offers cannot be combined).
Now you can have cute nails for all your upcoming parties. Book your appointment and do not forget to get a toy! |
