Computer Troubles

Hello everybody,
This is just a quick note to let you know that my computer has fatally crashed. There is no bringing this one back to life either. Unfortunately,  I will not be able to access my blog or to write any new posts until I am able to get a new computer. I hope to have one around the 1st or 2nd of the month. Thanks for your patience and I hope to be back online very soon. :)

**I hope your all having a wonderful summer!

$20 WORTH OF FREE CLOTHES *NO STRINGS*

That's right! Get $20 worth of free clothes and/or accessories absolutely free. No strings, no commitments, or fine print. You even get FREE SHIPPING and RETURNS! Go to Axl's Closet and choose ANYTHING YOU WANT for $20 or less but remember to include tax. When you are ready to checkout, enter SHARING_IS_CARING in the coupon code area.

**This offer took me about an hour to get because there website is extremely busy.**  If you are getting website errors, don't worry, just keep refreshing the page and trying again. I was really worried I was going to miss out on this opportunity just because I couldn't get the payment to go through without the website giving me an error but then I found out this code doesn't expire until July 23, 2012. Yay! 

So you don't need to worry about the time frame while checking out. However, I did notice a couple of items I wanted were out of stock, which sucked, but since it's free I just chose something else. It was really hard after all the time spent trying to get through all the website errors, to find out my item was out of stock and then to have to do it all over again. Ugh. Nonetheless, once you succeed it will definitely be worth it. So smile and be thankful for companies who offer freebies like this! This kind of freebie is so RARE.  I'm still a little speechless. :)

**If your successful with this freebie, would you be so kind as to leave me a comment and let me know. Thanks so much. Have a great evening!

My "America's Next Top Wooliteer" Party

I was given an exclusive opportunity to host the "America's Next Top Wooliteer" Party from Crowdtap and Woolite. I was very excited. This party was to celebrate Woolite's Extra Dark Care detergent made specifically for dark clothing and denim. Woolite's Extra Dark Care, will not stretch, fade, or shrink your dark clothing and denim, making them last even longer. I had just found out about this detergent a month or so before I was offered this party and had not tried this specific Woolite product before. I thought it would be great if it actually cleaned your clothing without any harsh chemicals that can hurt the longevity of your clothes, like many other detergents have. It is still the normal gentle Woolite that were all used to but it's made specifically for our dark clothing and jeans. I thought how cool is this. I had to try it now. (More about my results later.)

MY PARTY KIT

This is the party kit, which was delivered to my house. The focus of my party was "Don't Torture Your Jeans. Long Live Your Jeans!" from the popular new Woolite ads on YouTube. 

One ad is directed by Rob Zombie and is excellent. I actually thought it was a trailer for a horror film, when I first watched it. It's awesome, very unique and creative. 

What was inside:  

This is what was inside my party kit. Wow! Lots of goodies.

• 1 Woolite® Swag Bag packed with:
• -1 America's Next Top Wooliteer Sampling Party Booklet
• -3 dry erase boards
• -Dry erase markers
• -1 set of Woolite® Great Denim Survey trivia cards
• -10 Woolite® Extra Dark samples for you and your guests

Here is a picture of all my goodies on display.

I think the hardest part about this party has been choosing the pictures to upload because I had so many. LOL. I also had rearranged this display several times trying to get it just perfect.

Here are some close up pictures:

 Everyone absolutely loved this Woolite denim bag! We played a trivia game with the cards that that Woolite had sent us. We decided that the winner would win this cool bag. The competition was on now. He he. That was a lot of fun.

These are the samples that everyone was given. They included information about Woolite Extra Dark Care, a sample, and a coupon for their next purchase. Yay!.

I had asked my guests to try and bring a pair of their favorite jeans to talk about for the party. Here are a couple who did not mind me taking a picture of them. Not everyone wanted a picture taken. 

My Guests

This lovely lady already uses Woolite on her work clothes and delicate's. However, she did not know there's a Woolite for her darks and jeans that will make them last even longer. She really liked the idea of a gentle detergent for her jeans and dark clothing.

This gentlemen had learned the hard way by ruining one of his wife's outfits when he "tried to do her laundry." Of coarse, he did not use Woolite. I think he learned his lesson. He he.

I was working hard trying to answer the Woolite trivia questions. Some were very hard too!

Making Our Own Slogans

We had fun trying to make our own slogans for Woolite's Extra Dark Care detergent. This activity was a lot of fun too

Here are the results:

                               

The second one is my favorite. I love the picture of all the different jeans hanging on a line. One of them is some box shorts with flowers on them. That had me cracking up a lot. :)

UH-OH! SOMEONE WAS LATE!

This guest was in such a hurry to get to the party that she left her house in curlers. We all thought it was hilarious and I couldn't resist taking a picture (for proof). He he. She finished getting ready at the party.

Some More Fun Pictures

This guest needed a rest after all the fun and games. 

This party was a lot of fun. We played the Woolite trivia game and learned a lot of new information. We talked about our favorite denim clothing and all the different things we each do, in hopes of preserving them for as long as possible. We even discussed our "horror" moments when a favorite article of clothing was ruined in the wash. Boy did we have a lot of those moments! We all have our favorite denim clothing that we absolutely love. So it was a topic that was easy and fun to talk about. We learned a lot about Woolite's Extra Dark Care detergent and how it won't hurt our favorite clothing and will help them last a lot longer then if we used regular detergent. It has no harsh chemicals that would hurt your clothing or cause them to fade, shrink, tear, etc. in the wash.

There were a couple guests that actually came the next day because they could not make it for the party day. This was fine though because I wasn't doing anything and would be home. I was able to visit with them and tell them about Woolite Extra Dark Care. They also received there samples.

Any excuse to have a party is awesome to me. I love having get togethers' and enjoy the laughter and fun I always have. Thanks so much for this awesome opportunity Crowdtap and Woolite! We had fun and learned a lot about saving our clothes! DON'T TORTURE YOUR JEANS. LONG LIVE YOUR JEANS!!

FREE PANTIES **REAL EASY to GET**

HAPPY 4TH of JULY!

I hope everyone is having a great 4th so far.

 I have discovered some awesome news. I found a blog at USA Love List, that told me how to get a free pair of panties. These are NOT cheap panties either. All you have to do is be one of the first 500 people to follow Knockout Panties on Twitter and then tweet the following message:

Sexy @Knockoutpanties #SmartPanties wick moisture all day long I ♥ them! Thanks for introducing them @JillHomiak @USALoveList fashion editor

That's it!! They are at 482 followers right now. So hurry! What's really cool is that they include free shipping and there are no stipulations (as far as I could tell). You can choose any one of there panties for free and they have a great variety of styles to choose from.

I tweeted this message last night and I got my code today on July 4th. They are very fast. I have already ordered my panties, which were $38. I didn't have to pay ANYTHING! Wow, it doesn't get better then that. $38 is a lot for one pair of panties, so I am very excited about getting to try these panties free. They are Made in America, which I really like. These panties are very unique and different too, which is probably why they are expensive.
*I want to get this message out right away so I am not going to spend time talking about what makes this panty unique. However, you can get information about them at Knock out Panties. I will try to do a review about these panties after I have tried them.

 **Don't forget to follow them or they will not be able to send you there Direct Message Code for your free panties.
*They are already at 482 followers so you need to hurry before they reach 500 followers. So don't delay and Good Luck! 

**If you make it in time to get your free panty, please leave a comment and let me know. I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

FREE Schick Hydro Silk Razor

Hello friends,
I was lucky enough to find out about this offer today from one of my Facebook friends. Unfortunately, when I clicked on her link, I was told that all the samples were gone. So I thought I would do some research online about this offer. Boy am I glad I did too. I found other sites who also had links to this offer. One blog I found was at Heavenly Steals. This post had a lot of different links to click on. They said if a link has no more samples available then try the next link and so on. Apparently each link only has a certain number of samples to give away. I have no idea how they managed to get so many links for this free razor but I was really grateful for it. :) I can't remember if it was the first or second link when I was told I had been accepted. Yay!

How it works is:  If the samples are not sold out then they will allow you to sign up to be a Schick Hydro Silk Influencer and they will send you one razor FREE. What I didn't know was that they will allow you to share one sample too, possibly more.Woohoo!

So I am sharing my ONE sample here on my blog first. These razors are going fast! The good news is I have a small amount of followers, which gives each of you a good chance of claiming this. Good luck to anyone who hasn't received this exclusive offer, yet.
Here is the link:   http://www.schickhydrosilk.com/influencer/welcome.php?ref=zy2g5q9  **CLAIMED

**Remember I only have ONE sample I can give away so act FAST!**


*If you happen to claim this razor I would be grateful if you could let me know by leaving a comment. Thanks so much!

OLD NAVY'S "SAMPLE AND SHARE"

I was invited to participate in an incredible opportunity from Crowdtap. It was an Old Navy "Sample And Share" opportunity. I am part of the Old Navy Style Council on Crowdtap. I was given two coupons for a free pair of shorts of my choice and one for a friend. Old Navy has a bunch of incredible summer shorts this year. They have a big variety. One of my favorites is the Bermuda Shorts because they are longer length and more flattering then the 3 in. shorts available. My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time shopping and trying on different shorts. You can check out all the new summer shorts at Old Navy by clicking on  Summer Shorts.

If you would like opportunities like this and more, you can register at Crowdtap.

Influenster's Mom VoxBox

Influenster's Mom VoxBox!!

I received an email today from Influenster telling me that I will be receiving the Mom VoxBox. I am so excited. This will be my second VoxBox from them. The first one was the Love VoxBox. Maybe this time I will be able to get all the badges. I couldn't get all the badges for the Love VoxBox because you had to have had a review on your blog 3 or 4 months before you got the Love VoxBox. Unfortunately for me, I was not blogging then. I went ahead and did a review of the Kiss Nail dress that I had received in the Love VoxBox. Nevertheless, it did not count since I did not have any posts 3-4 months prior. However, now that I do have one (I am working on getting more posts published) I might be able to earn all the badges this time. I'm not sure if it has been long enough though. It really depends on what there requirements are for this Mom VoxBox but I hope I can earn all the badges this time.

I have no idea what will be in this VoxBox but am really looking forward to finding out. I will keep you posted as I find out more information. Thank you for looking. :)

KISS NAIL DRESS

***I received a free complimentary Kiss Nail Dress product for testing and reviewing from Influenster. I will not be paid for making this review. This review is 100% my own opinions and thoughts.***

The following is a description from Influenster.com describing this product. 

Fashion That Sticks

Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.


This was my first time trying anything like this since I was a kid putting little stickers on my fingers. Therefore, I was honestly a little skeptical that I would like this product. Kiss Nail Dress claims that it can last up to 10 days on your nails. That made me more skeptical but I was going to try it and see how well they really worked.

• The first thing I noticed immediately was how sparkly and eye catching the design was. I received Cocktail, which is pink with tiny diamond (not real of course) stripes, sort of like zebra stripes but in pink only with diamonds. The little diamonds never fell off either. They are totally part of the Nail Dress and should never fall off.
• You want to make sure you clean and dry your hands really well before you apply the stickers. You may want to use finger nail polish remover too but I did not. Definitely make sure you have no lotion on at all or the product will not stick to your nails. That is why I recommend you wash your hands real good to make sure any old residue of lotion is removed.
• They were easy for me to apply. They make the Nail Dress stickers long on purpose so you can use them if you have long nails or artificial nails. I found it was easier for me to cut the extra length of with scissors and then take a file and file the rest at the edge of my nail where the sticker starts to go underneath my nail so that I could make sure it covered the entire nail. It was as if I was filing my own nails.

• My Outcome
• Wow!! It was easier then I thought it would be to apply.
• They stayed on longer then 10 days. I took mine off at 11 days, simply because they were starting to look dirty.
• They are fun for a night out of town.
• They are very girly and noticeable.
• I got many compliments.
• Kiss Nail Dress has many designs and colors to choose from. I hope you find one you really like too. Visit KissNailDress.com to learn more!
