Homemade Chocolate Frosties

May 7, 2012 14 Comments

I’m really excited to bring you today’s recipe!  I first saw this on another blog last minute and forgot about it.  But then several months ago, I saw it again on Food.com via Pinterest, and I made it almost immediately!

This is a homemade version of Wendy’s chocolate Frosties!  You are going to love this! It only requires three ingredients, and it tastes so yummy and just like the ones you get at Wendy’s. (Maybe even better!)

And if you like this idea, you should also try these homemade fudgesicles that I posted last year! They are fantastic!

Sponsor Spotlights & Thank Yous

May 7, 2012 Leave a Comment

Today I’m taking a few moments to say thanks to my awesome sponsors, affiliates, and others who have supported my blog over the past year or so.  I’ve had so many great opportunities for product reviews, giveaways, and paid posts, and I really appreciate all the good things that have come my way.

The help and support of both my readers and sponsors has led me to swap my blog over to WordPress and try to grow it from there, and I wouldn’t have made the move without that support.   So please visit my sponsors and check out their products and everything they have to offer!  They are truly excellent companies that are run by great people, and they deserve your business!

When I see a stain, I immediately want to “Shout it out.”

Shout® Trigger is packed with stain-fighting ingredients and enzymes to quickly penetrate, break up and remove tough stains! The triple action formula clings and penetrates to lift away stains.  It also has a convenient trigger dispenser, and best of all it is safe for use on all colors, and it works well in all water temperatures.

Moving to WordPress

May 4, 2012 1 Comment

I’ve been planning to post about my move to WordPress.   It’s hard to believe that it’s been a month already since my move! (Yeah, I get a little sidetracked sometimes!)

Anyway, I wanted to post about it because (1) it is something that I’ve thought about doing for a long time and I’m really excited about it and (2) I know there are a lot of people that are curious about it (as I was for the longest time).  In fact, I’ve already gotten a couple of emails inquiring about my move, so today I just want to take a few minutes to talk about that for anyone who may be interested in swapping themselves.

Hi Ladies! Hope you’re having a lovely month of May so far! Just to let you know, I’ve got some great things, including some super giveaways lined up for this month, so I hope you will enjoy me for all the fun!

I also have a couple of quick announcements. First off, I’m calling for new blog sponsors this summer! I’ve added some new options to my advertising packages to make the ads affordable and worthwhile. Please email me for details.

I’m also currently scheduling guest posts for the summer months.  So some of you might get an email from me, inviting you to be a guest.  You can also send me an email if you’d like to be a guest on my blog. I will be looking for recipes, craft tutorials, and decor related posts. And the content is completely up to you, just as long as it will be suitable for the summer season.  So send me an email if you’d like to be guest.

Oatmeal & Brown Sugar Scrubs

May 1, 2012 5 Comments

As Mother’s Day draws near, not to mention the season to buy gifts for graduations, teacher gifts, and weddings, it seems like the perfect time to talk spa items!  Of course, there are a lot of websites where you can order brown sugar scrubs and other organic beauty products.  And these are fabulous, but sometimes they can be a little expensive, so if you’re on a budget, you should definitely try making your own at home!

Today I’ve got a recipe for an Oatmeal and Brown Sugar Scrub.  This is something that you can mix together in about a minute, and it makes for a really great facial and/or scrub that you can use on yourself or that you can package in a decorative jar and give as a gift. Hope you enjoy!
