Eco Vessel BOSS Growler {Perfect For Dad!} + Giveaway (US) 6/15

Just lately, my husband has been asking me to find him a really great water bottle. Previously, he had an insulated plastic one and it just wasn't cutting it any more. The cover would pop open and the water would taste terrible after less than 12 hours.

After that experience I was thinking about how nice it would have been to Read more [...]
Softsoap ~ Limited Edition Scents Eternal Bloom & Blushing Bouquet + Giveaway (US) 5/29

While I sometimes wonder why I live in the state where the air hurts my face for a good share of the winter, I love springtime and summer in Minnesota. Seeing everything come back to life and turn green, watching flowers bloom, and feeling the warm sunshine is so amazing that it makes the long winters worth it. So as the seasons turn, I hope all of you are feeling the same wonderful hope and joy that I feel with all of the life being breathed back into everything. And with this new season comes Read more [...]
