Time on my hands

For once, I actually have a Sunday with a little free time on my hands. And yet, I can't decide what to do with it. I did watch my two movies that I had in from Netflix for when Ward was in Brazil (since I knew he wouldn't want to see them), Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, because while he never did end up going to Brazil, he's out fishing all day today. Those were both good movies. I enjoyed them. I've also been doing some laundry since we have like 15 loads, I swear. I know I'm going to make a run to Target in a bit, too. But we had a little BBQ yesterday with some guys from Ward's work so we cleaned all day yesterday and the house is like spotless. So, I actually don't really have any housework that HAS to be done today (besides the laundry). And now I have a bit of free time and I can't decide if I want to a) do some crafting b) start rereading Twilight c) take the dogs to the dog park or d) just be lazy and watch more movies. Who knows what I'll end up doing. I mean, it's already almost 2pm and I do still need to go to Target.

Oh yeah, so it seems like my giveaway was a big flop. I guess Burt's Bees Acne spot treatment isn't the coolest thing to win these days. Oh well. More for me! Seeing as I do actually need it! But too bad nobody got the chance to win some fun earrings by me. Too bad! I'll try to make my next giveaway way cooler so that someone will actually want to enter it!

Well, that's really about all from me right now. I should go finish getting ready and run my few errands. It's such a beautiful day here, I need to get out of the house! Oh! Lightbulb! Two birds, one stone...take the dogs to the dog park AND Twilight and read while they play! Hmm...enticing. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Whoa! 200 posts!

**UPDATED**
**Wow...okay...so no one wants to enter my giveaway? Is it that bad? How about this? If I get at least 10 entries, I'll throw in some fun, fall inspired, handmade earrings by yours truly! Did I sweeten the pot enough for you?? Come on guys! Tell your friends!**

Can y'all believe it? I've had 200 (hopefully entertaining) things to say since I started not too long ago. It's an exciting day for me and what better way to celebrate than with a giveaway!

In my role as a bzzagent for bzzagent.com, I was given the opportunity to test out the new acne line by Burt's Bees. As someone who has struggled with acne their whole life, and now more than ever, I was thrilled to try it. I must say, out of the TONS if different products I've tried over the years, I really really liked this. I love the fact that it's all natural. It works really fast and really helps out with reducing redness.

For you guys to try out, I am giving away three, count them, THREE, samples of the spot treatment. And each sample comes with two of the viles pictured below so you even have the opportunity to pass one on to a friend!



I'm telling you, this stuff is great. Not only does it help my acne, but I also have sensitive skin and using this product, my skin really has never looked more healthy. I love it!

Now for the rules:

Entering is super easy. Just leave me a comment!

John Frieda Root Awakening Giveaway!

**Giveaway closed! Winners have been chosen!**

Geez, I've been meaning to post this for DAYS! So busy, so busy. Okay, so, I joined up with BzzAgent.com like my good friend Mrs. C. You get to test out products and give feedback on them. I was lucky enough to get an invitation to try out the new Root Awakening line of shampoo/conditioner by John Frieda.

They sent me a full size bottle of shampoo and conditioner as well as some sample packs of another shampoo/conditioner AND two sample bottles of a leave in de-tangler spray. Along with a TON of coupons. I wish I would have remembered to take a picture. I guess I still could and post it up here later (if I remember).

So I started using the shampoo/conditioner on Sunday. I must say, I am enjoying it. They sent me the kind for dry hair, thank goodness, since I have dry hair. Probably from all the blow drying and flat ironing I do every day. I think it's working great. I LOVE the scent. It's eucalyptus. It makes my hair feel REALLY clean which I like since I tend to have oily hair. The conditioner wasn't as thick as I'm used to with other products for dry hair, but it does the job. My hair feels very silky and I can run my fingers through it wet with no tangles. I haven't tried the samples of the de-tangler spray...I was actually thinking about doing a GIVEAWAY!!

I haven't been using the products for a whole week yet, but so far I really like them. Since I do have so many samples and coupons, would you guys like to get some?? It's not much, but what can I do with all that? I'd love to share the wealth! I know I don't have many readers, but if you guys want some samples or coupons, let me know! And share with your readers that I have some to giveaway! I might do a couple prizes. 2 Grand Prizes with sample shampoo/conditioner/detangler spray/coupons. And a few Secondary Prizes that will just be coupons. The coupons are for $2 off the Root Awakening product line. I haven't looked in the store to see how much they cost, but John Frieda products usually run in the $5-$8 range so not a bad deal.

Okay, so I'll have at least 4 prizes, and (hopefully) I will post some pictures of what exactly will be in these prizes. All you have to do is leave me a comment to enter! And, since I love trying out new products, in your comment let me know about any new product you've tried out that you now love! Spread the word!! You have until next Friday (the 15th) to enter!! Thanks for playing!!
