If you are a company who has an interested in being represented at blogher through me, please check out my blogher sponsorship packages. I can of course take on sponsorship for this cost after March 1st it would just be more expensive, Read more [...]

I often see bloggers ask their readers what types of products they would like to see more of on review blogs and one of the most popular answers is 'mens stuff!' I have to agree that I would love to see more men companies in the review scene. I personally think that men can be really difficult to buy gifts for, so I thought I would have a mens gift guide event this March. If any of you know of either specific companies or just a specific type of product that you would like to see featured, please Read more [...]

The winner of the raving rabbids wii game is out of 471 entries. Entries 472-488 were left after the giveaway ended. So please check the ending date of the giveaway before you enter. My giveaways almost always end at noon EST instead of midnight. Also, I am often slow to draw winners, so just becuase a giveaway is listed in the sidebar does NOT mean it's still enterable, unless I blog saying so. So just beware of that so you don't waste your time. Anyway, the winner is #366 I emailed you! The Read more [...]

I don't consider myself to be a real picky person in most ways. However, I have a bit of a hang up when it comes to textures. For example, I can't eat foods like apple sauce, cottage cheese, etc with that weird in-between soft and solid texture. I also can't stand really oily lotions, etc. So when I head out to the beach and end up caked in gritty sand, I get the heebie jeebies. In an attempt to combat this, I bring at least twice as many towels as we think we will need, so that I can dry off with Read more [...]

Petrol jeans is having a contest on their facebook page. First, you like them on facebook. Then you go to the 'win a pair!' tab on their facebook page and scroll down to 'comment' and say '[name here] sent me'. Then you have 20 people 'like' them on facebook and comment saying that YOU sent them. When you get 20 people to like their page and comment, they send you a free pair of jeans. So it's a contest but you are gauranteed to get a pair of jeans if you have 20 people comment for you. I'll be Read more [...]

One of the best things about csnstores is the huge selection of products to choose from. I've reviewed such a vast variety of products from Juliana 4tier growing rack, which is a mini greenhouse. It's a set of shelves with a plastic cover that covers the racks. The growing rack can be used indoors or outdoors, and only takes up a small amount of floor space. The racks are 27" wide and 19" deep, so it easily fits both inside or on a deck or patio. Once spring hits we plan to move this out onto our Read more [...]

Hey guys. If any of you know how to remove gaps between images in wordpress and could explain it to me I would be forever greatful. I avoid posting images side by side on my blog because they always have a gap between them. For example, visit my jada michaels post and notice the spaces between the images. There are no paragraph tags or any other HTML in between them that shouldn’t be. Helppp?

*Please note - this is an adult post. Please do not read if you are underage* I wasn't planning on highlighting valentines gifts much, but when I came across Jada Michaels lingerie store a few days ago, I fell in love with the lingerie, and I knew you all would love the chance to win something from Jada Michaels. Plus, I thought it was perfect timing with Valentines coming up soon. So I was thrilled to get the chance to work with Jada Michaels on a plus size lingerie. The plus size sets are Read more [...]

For Christmas I got Ryan a new external hard drive. He often repairs computers for just about everyone we know. He also does videography and loves movies. All of these result in Ryan needing a large external hard drive, and his old one was only 500gb so we upgraded and now he has two. However, the hard drive he got for Christmas has a lot of storage, so the device is big and bulky compared to most external hard drives, and is a pain to tote around. When I came across the pogoplug pro I knew this Read more [...]
