I am participating in blogfest on September 10-12. I have been so busy with just trying to keep up with my blog that I currently don't have any sponsors yet! If you are interested in having a giveaway on my site that will generate more traffic than the 'usual' giveaway - this is a great opportunity for you! I'd love to work with anyone from an etsy shop owner up to a huge corporation. If you're interested feel free to comment here and i'll email you or you can just email me directly. My email is Read more [...]

Before I begin this post I want to say that my intent is not to push any one view or offend anyone. I'm just really curious what everyone's thoughts are. Recently I have received a few emails from different people who are promoting their giveaways. They say something along the lines of 'I saw that you entered the (company name here) giveaway on such-and-such blog, and am now having that giveaway on my blog and thought you might want to enter. And then they provide a link. My first thought was Read more [...]

I'm back home after a week of camping. We had fun but I was glad to head home too. I guess camping usually goes that way though right? I have a lot to get done in the next couple days as well as the next month or so. I hate how laundry piles up when we are gone. Still have to  unpack and get things back to normal around here. My sister is due to have her baby any second now, plus I'm in a wedding next Saturday, and have a few wedding-related events to go to between now and then. Plus college Read more [...]

Note: This post was created July 28th and was set to auto-post. By the time you read this I will be gone on vacation without internet access. I will return around August 4th and will reply to comments and/or emails at that time. Woo hoo! Here is the first review that I have posted that will be connected with blogmania. (Meaning there will be a giveaway for this book during blogmania in September!). Today's review comes from workman.com which is a company that sells books of all kinds. I was Read more [...]

Sorry that this is so last minute, but I'm pretty much going to be absent from blogging until next Tuesday or Wednesday. Why? Tomorrow (Thursday) I am going to spend a lot of time sewing up monsters for Fridays trading frenzie. Plus getting things around to go camping. Friday is my hometowns yearly celebration, which includes yard sales which I'm going to. We're also going grocery shopping with my dad and then the 3 of us are going about 2.5 hours up north to the cabin. It's not really camping Read more [...]

Tropical Traditions is a company that makes a wide variety of natural products, including many that come from coconuts. I'll be honest, I didn't have a clue that coconuts or coconut oil could be used for much. When I learned that I would be receiving some virgin coconut oil from tropical traditions for review, I started to do a bit of research and found that coconut oil has an almost endless number of uses. For cooking uses alone there is a huge list of recipes with virgin coconut oil you Read more [...]

If you tweet a giveaway to earn an entry, please note that the instructions always say "@emilyreviewscom, a shortened link to this giveaway and #giveaway" that means you have to include "#giveaway"  in the tweet. Otherwise it doesn't count. I noticed 2-3 people in the last couple of days have been tweeting without including the hash tag and giveaway. Why do I ask that you include #giveaway? Using a hash tag is like 'tagging' a blog post. It then allows you to search for tweets containing 'giveaway' Read more [...]
