PRODUCT REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Scentsy

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED...THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!


i was recently asked by my friend, lis, to review a scentsy warmer & scent bar.  i immediately said yes!  i was given the margot warmer.  it was january's warmer of the month.  let me tell you, it is gorgeous!

a description of the margot warmer from the scentsy website:
a shimmering metallic reactive-glaze finish and exquisitely embossed details punctuated by creamy faux pearls create a feeling of romance 

the picture does not do the warmer justice.  it's very chic.  very classic.  it goes well with any decor, too.  of course, the warmer is useless without a scent brick to melt in it, right?  i was given the scent "my wish" which was january's scent of the month.

a description of the "my wish" scent bar from the scentsy website:
a confection of earthy fig, sweet violet, and playful marshmallow will have you wishing for more

i was a bit skeptical about the scent at first.  lis said it reminded her of the way conversation hearts smelled.  it reminded me more of necco wafers {which i can't stand}.  but, i'm open-minded and i knew that the scent could smell different once it was melted {candles are like that, ya know}.  and, smell different...it did!  don't let the lavender color of the scent bar fool you...that's just for show.  i only used two cubes of the scent bar {it comes 'pre-scored' into eight small cubes} which gives off the perfect amount of a sweet, subtle aroma.  to me, it makes my house smell like valentine's day.  we had friends over last weekend and he thought i had baked something...wrong!  it was the scentsy warmer that he was smelling!

scentsy products are great.  i like that the warmers do not use an open flame to generate heat.  instead, you're simply using a light bulb {that's included} to melt the wax.  the full-size warmers have a convenient on/off switch on the cord, too.  the warmers are portable and the variety of warmers that scentsy offers seems endless.  there are also plug-in warmers available if you'd like to use a scentsy product in a smaller space like the bathroom.  perhaps the most difficult scentsy decision to make is which scent bar you'll choose -- there's so much to choose from!  and, the scent bars last quite a while...you'll be surprised at how much fragrance you'll get out of just two little cubes.  and, don't worry about the wax...if it spills, it won't burn you and it's easy to clean up!  and, don't just think that all scentsy offers are warmers & scent bars.  no, you can also purchase {just to name a few}: scentsy buddies, room sprays, travel tins & fragrance foam.




how would you like to win something from scentsy?

lis is graciously offering one lucky person a plug-in AND a scent bar - you choose the design and scent.

the rules are quite simple, but please leave a separate comment for each entry:
this giveaway is open to u.s. residents only.  


you have until 11:59pm e.s.t. on february 9th to enter.  the winner will be announced on thursday, february 10th.  due to a google reader glitch {there's no better feeling than knowing your blog posts aren't showing up at all...grr...} i am keeping this giveaway open until monday, february 14th.  the winner will be announced on tuesday, february 15th!!


disclaimer:  all thoughts expressed in this product review are my own.  i was compensated by being given a warmer & scent bar to review.

GIVEAWAY - tabletopics: girls night out

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED...THANK YOU FOR ENTERING!

  • are you a "steel magnolia?"
  • if you could do a risky activity once with no risk what would you choose?
  • which part of having a baby has been or will be most difficult for you?
  • what do you enjoy eating when you're alone?
  • what song evokes the strongest memories?
those questions above are just a small sample of what you'll find if you're browsing through the girls night out edition of tabletopics.


tabletopics - have you heard of them?

tabletopics was founded by cristy clarke who did not want to go to another cocktail party where small talk went absolutely nowhere. tabletopics is a fun way to get people talking. just like their motto says, "great questions to start great conversations." currently, there are many different topics to choose from - family, teen, couples, girls night out, college, decades {60s, 70s, 80s}, etc. and, don't think that you're limited to the tabletopics cube. you can get "to go" versions of tabletopics as well as partytopics {napkins, place cards or coasters} and journaltopics {life, wedding or pregnancy}.

we have the family version in our home & we keep it on our kitchen table. it's definitely a great item to have out when friends come over because someone is going to open up the cube {out of curiosity} and start asking questions.

i was thrilled to stumble across the girls night out version at my local hallmark store and i picked up one for me...and one for you to win!

to enter this giveaway, all you have to do is answer one of the five questions listed at the beginning of this post.

for extra entries, you can blog about this giveaway {sidebar links are fine}, tweet about this giveaway {please include me @maliasma}, follow tabletopics on twitter {@TableTopicsInc} and/or visit tabletopics' website & tell me which product you'd most like to have.

this giveaway will be open until 11:59pm e.s.t. on friday, march 19th & i'll announce the winner that weekend.

good luck & tell your friends...this is definitely something you'll want to have the next time you & your girlfriends get together for some wine & chit-chat!


the fine print:
  • i was not endorsed by tabletopics in any way, shape or form - they did not contact me and say, "hey, will you feature our product & giveaway one?"
  • i purchased the girls night out version tabletopics cube with my own moola.
  • this is simply something fun...from me to you...because i love y'all!
  • international bloggers are welcome.
  • winner will be chosen at random using random.org.
  • did i miss anything else??

GIVEAWAY - Keep Calm & Blog On

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED!
i'm decorating my new desk & crafting area, so i turned to etsy for some inspiration. my mantra here lately has been "keep calm & carry on." i know you've all seen the prints. they are too cute & too wonderful...not only is the message inspirational, but the color choices...oh, the color choices!

anyways, while browsing on etsy last weekend, i came across the keep calm shop. they print the traditional "keep calm & carry on" posters, but they also have a wide variety of fun & whimsical "keep calm" inspired posters as well. i made a list of what i liked & what i wanted to purchase, but i didn't see anything about blogging so i asked.

ask and ye shall receive!

the fabulous people at the keep calm shop created this:

GIVEAWAY - Pink & Green Organizational Goodness

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED ~
thanks to all who entered!


as promised, i have a giveaway for you!

in celebration of my 600th blog post {which happened last monday}, i have a little pink & green organizational goodness for you. it will help you preppify your desk, if you will.


it's nothing too exciting or too fancy. trust me on this, folks. i'm on a bit of a tight budget due to this self-inflicted unemployment, so don't be disappointed when i say to you that these fun items came from target. from target's $1 section, to be more specific.

can you believe it??

the lucky winner will receive:

  • 2 packs of pink & green file folders {3 folders in each pack}
  • 1 pack of pink & green binder clips {various sizes}
  • a magnetic list pad {embellished with a cute pink bow}
  • a set of sticky notes
  • a magnetic weekly planner

so there you have it. nothing fancy. but extra super special, in my opinion. if you're teetering on the verge of being unorganized {like i am} then these little gems should come in handy...especially if organizing your work space is one of your new year's resolutions!

to enter, all you gotta do is comment on this post. that's all. nothing crazy. no silly questions to answer or websites to check out. you can tweet about this if you want. feel free to blog about this or copy the picture to post on your blog's side bar. but remember...to enter, all you gotta do is comment.

i'll leave the giveaway open until 11:59pm EST on january 14th and i'll announce the winner on friday, january 15th. international bloggers are welcome to enter, too!

the fine print: i was not asked to giveaway these items nor was i endorsed by target in any way, shape or form. i purchased these items with money from my own pocket. they were not given to me. nor was i asked to review them or blah blah blah. so on and so forth...

Show me the cake! {psst...it's a giveaway, too!}

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

The day is here. I'm 32.

My father told me that after turning 21 birthdays seem to come faster & faster - he was right.

A friend of mine said that after having kids your birthday will seem like just another day - she was right.

Do I feel different now than I did when I turned, say, 22? Oh, yes. Very much so.

Am I older? Indeed, I am.

Am I wiser? Perhaps.

Entering my thirties was pretty scary. I mean, it was what most of us considered 'old' once upon a time! As it turned out, it wasn't so scary after all...it was actually kind of refreshing! And, here I am, eight years from 40 {I know, I'm being a bit dramatic today}, and I am okay with it all. Sure, I'll complain & kid about my age, but a really smart girlfriend of mine told me that she will never let a number {age} define her, so I should not let it define me. She's got a point.

So, today I turn 32. I will celebrate tonight with friends & tomorrow with family. It honestly feels just like another day...and I think I'm more excited about the fact that today is Friday!



In honor of my birthday, I'm giving one of you lucky readers the chance to win a $50 gift certificate to Sephora.

It's my birthday gift to you!

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post...that's all! I will announce the winner on Friday, September 25th...good luck!

Product Review & Giveaway: Are YOU "Classically Casual?"

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED - THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING!
A few months ago, I participated in a summer swap & I received my very first Tucker Blair item ever. I know, I know...it's a shame that I just recently found out about the greatness that is Tucker Blair, but please forgive me.
My keys have never looked as stylish as they do now thanks to my Tucker Blair Sailing Needlepoint Key Fob {many thanks to Kate at Nautical by Nature, too!}:


What is Tucker Blair? Tucker Blair is a clothing accessories {a.k.a. fun!} company founded by Taylor Llewellyn who was growing tired of life in the corporate world. The company specializes in handmade needlepoint creations like belts, key fobs & flip flops!

Who is Tucker Blair?
Taylor Llewellyn came up with the company's name by using two of his family's names...that's a pretty great tribute, huh?

Why Tucker Blair?
Are you classic? Are you casual? {the company's motto IS 'classically casual'} Do you have an inner prep that's waiting to come out? Do you like simple styles accented with pops of color, fun & whimsy? Are you all about quality & value? If so, this is why you should take a look some of the items Tucker Blair has to offer.



Not long ago, I was contacted by Tucker Blair's PR rep, Zach Weiss, and we chatted about the company & their products. He emphasized the fact that Tucker Blair is all about luxury & affordability...all the while offering customers a high quality product. They do not have a traditional "brick & mortar" store and rely upon referrals & word of mouth. Of course, their items are all so unique & fun that it's easy to spread the word about Tucker Blair! I think one of the things that I love the most about Tucker Blair is that they make themselves available to their customers. You can easily contact the company founder, Taylor Llewellyn, via email or give their customer service line a call. Clearly, Tucker Blair is not just about putting out a great product, but they are also very much in tune with their customers needs and wants. It's very rare that you find a company that values it's customers as much as Tucker Blair does.

Do you have a Tucker Blair wishlist? I do! I think one of the items I want the most are the Crab Needlepoint Flip Flops. I am hoping that size XXS means it will fit my size 6 feet! {those flops are SO going on my birthday wish list!}

{all pictures are from Tucker Blair, by the way}

Of course, there are a few other items on my wishlist, too...

The Starfish Needlepoint Key Fob {so preppylicious...is that even a word?!}:


The Crab & Beer Bottles Needlepoint Key Fob {this one is a no brainer...we love steaming crabs & drinking a cold one all summer long!}:


And, the Green Polka Dot Needlepoint Headband:



Do YOU want something from Tucker Blair? Of course you do!

So, what I am doing for all of my lovely readers is giving YOU the opportunity to win a $25 Tucker Blair gift certificate!

All you have to do is go to Tucker Blair's website & tell me which item is your favorite and you'll be entered into the giveaway.

You can receive extra entries if you blog about this, refer people to this giveaway, follow my blog, follow me on Twitter (@maliasma) or follow Tucker Blair on Twitter (@tuckerblair). Just let me know how many extra entries you should receive in one comment...thanks!

The giveaway is open until Thursday, September 10th at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be announced on Friday, September 11th.

Let's get BAREFOOT {again!}

Earlier today I announced the winner of the Barefoot Wine giveaway - Miss Sweet Tea from Sweet Tea Diaries. I was so happy & excited for her...because she also won the very same giveaway at Chic & Pink today! My dear Angela - this is a sign! Go out & buy a lotto ticket because how often do you win - on the same day - the very same giveaway at two different blogs?!

Of course, being the gracious, sweet gal that she is, Miss Sweet Tea contacted me & thanked me profusely, but asked that I choose another winner because it just wouldn't be right to win the same thing twice. Isn't she fab?

So, my dear friends, I am here to let you know that I have chosen another winner for the Barefoot Wine giveaway & the lucky gal is:

Mrs. McB
{please visit her lovely blog}

Please contact me at shell {at} stutteringshell {dot} com - I will need your mailing address so the great folks at Barefoot Wine can send you your goodies! Congrats!

PRODUCT REVIEW & GIVEAWAY - Barefoot & Bubbly!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENTRIES!


I am not going to lie to you all...this product review has been - BY FAR - the most favorite one I've done thus far. Why? Because it involved wine...or, as I like to refer to it...Mommy juice. If I had to pick a poison, wine would be it {followed very closely by Seagrams 7, but that's a different post}.

I'm sure there are many of you out there who - like me - enjoy having a glass {or three} of wine. I mean, it's a serving of fruit, people! I was very excited when Barefoot Wine contacted me. I've had a couple of their wines before - Pinot Grigio & Chardonnay. I've even tried their Moscato wine. Can you tell where I'm going with this? Yes, I'm normally a white wine drinker only. However, Lauren at Barefoot Wine has forever changed me because she graciously sent me not one, but TWO, bottles of Barefoot Wine to sample...one of which was some bubbly! Yes, not only does Barefoot Wine produce some great & very affordable wines, but they also produce bubbly wines!

Imagine my surprise when I came home from a weekend away to find a big box on my front porch from Barefoot Wine. Forget about dirty laundry & unpacking...I HAD to get that box open! Inside - for me to sample - was a bottle of Zinfandel & a bottle of bubbly, Brut Cuvee. Like I said earlier, I'm more of a white wine girl. And, surprising to many of my friends, I do not like champagne or sparkling wines at all. Seriously.

Now, before I begin my review I would just like to say that I am in no way a sommelier by any stretch of the imagination. I am merely an over-worked, under-paid, heavily occasional drinking wife & mother of two. Got it?

I opened the Zinfandel first.

I'm not going to lie...I was very skeptical as to whether or not I would even enjoy it. I've had merlot here and there and, to me, red wines are bitter, dry & hard for me to enjoy. Well, all of you red wine lovers who are screeching in horror should be quite happy because I loved the Zinfandel! There's no more left. I mean, drinking two glasses upon opening the bottle?! Yeah, that says something right there. Barefoot's Zinfandel is not dry, not bitter and it's heavily laden with hints of cherry. It is a smooth drinking wine and, being the classy girl that I am, brought out some peppery notes when I paired the wine with some heavily salted & peppered popcorn!

I finally opened the bubbly last night. I stashed it in the fridge weeks ago with every intention on breaking it out last weekend during our cookout & I blame my forgetfulness on the sangria that a friend brought {we'll discuss that in yet another post}. I stated earlier that I don't like champagne or sparkling wines. I never have. Never, ever. I suppose that most of my experience has revolved around extra dry wanna be sparkling wines...but, in my defense, I've also had fancy champagne - Dom Perignon - and I didn't like that either {I guess that really does classify me as simple & cheap, then?}.

When the hubs popped the top off of this baby, I honestly didn't know what to expect. I had already drilled into my head that I would not like it. It's sparkling. It's going to be dry and too fizzy and too disappointing. I was wrong, wrong and WRONG! Barefoot's Brut Cuvee surprised me and my taste buds. It was perfectly chilled & the bubbles tickled my nose as I drank it {I'm ashamed to admit that I don't actually own a proper champagne flute or fluted type of glass}. The Brut Cuvee was tart - it reminded me of granny smith apples - and was not dry at all. It had a smooth finish and I'm seriously considering having a mimosa for breakfast {although that wouldn't be a good idea since I do have to go to work}.

I am forever grateful to Lauren & everyone at Barefoot Wine, not just for allowing me this opportunity, but for expanding my wine horizons and turning me onto TWO types of wine I would have never, ever thought I would enjoy.



Here's where the fun comes in for you all...

Barefoot Wine has graciously offered my LUCKY readers the chance to win a Barefoot Wine "Summer Essentials" pack:

Included is a Barefoot Wine tote, beach towel, stemless wine glass and bottle opener...all that's missing is a bottle of your favorite Barefoot wine!

Get yourself familiar with Barefoot Wine. The motto behind their wine is to "get barefoot & have a great time!" Barefoot Wine recently launched a new website & they also have a great online community called Barefoot Republic. Barefoot Wine is a strong community supporter & is actively involved with other organizations like the Surfrider Foundation. So, not only does Barefoot Wine produce some amazing varieties of "the good stuff," but they also share my love of the beach. Could the relationship be any more perfect??

TO ENTER THIS GIVEAWAY, this is what you need to do:

  • MANDATORY - Join Barefoot Republic and leave me your user name in a comment below {when you join, you can use me - maliasma - in the 'referrer username' space...at the end of the form} - and don't worry, Barefoot will not fill your email with spam!
  • Tell me, in a comment below, how you plan on spending the rest of your summer.
  • MANDATORY - Go to Barefoot Wine's website and tell me, in a comment, which wine is your favorite or which you would like to try
  • Tell me, in a comment, what you like to pair your wine with...cheese, fruit, seafood, etc.
  • You can also get additional entries by blogging about this & following my blog
  • I'll give you THREE bonus entries for referring people to this giveaway...just make sure they mention in their comment who referred them!

This giveaway will be open until 11:59 est on Thursday, July 30th and a winner will be chosen on Friday, July 31st. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents ONLY and, PLEASE, you MUST be 21 or older {I can't be contributing to the delinquency of minors!!}.

Good luck!

PRODUCT REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Bake Me A Wish

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED...THANKS FOR ENTERING!


Remember a few weeks ago I mentioned something about a SWEET little package sitting on my front porch?? Some of you guessed it was chocolate...some of you guessed it was a cake.

Well, guess what...you're both right!

Right before the 4th of July holiday, I was contacted and asked if I would like to try a cake from Bake Me A Wish. In all honesty, I had never heard of the company. But, I was definitely more than happy to do a review on a cake...what's not to love, right??

Bake Me A Wish is a gourmet cake business that specializes in delivering birthday cakes. The company is run by an award-winning family run New York bakery...not only do they deal with the delivery of gourmet cakes, but they also supply goodies to some posh restaurants in Manhattan! So, you know you're going to get a top-notch product...there's no question about quality! Another great thing about Bake Me A Wish is their involvement with the military. They have a program called "Operation: Birthday Cake" and 5% of every cake purchased is donated to purchase soldiers birthday cakes every month (they do this in partnership with Soldiers' Angels). You also have the option to send a cake directly to a soldier. For more information about "Operation: Birthday Cake" please click here {and have a tissue handy}. Another neat feature is The Freedom Cake...for every Freedom Cake you purchase, Bake Me A Wish (along with Soldiers' Angels) will send a Freedom Cake to a soldier serving overseas!

After reading so much about Bake Me A Wish, I was quite pleased & excited to find a box on my front porch from the company. The company ships fast - like overnight fast - and each cake is enclosed within a styrofoam package complete with cooling packs to keep the cake chilled & fresh. I'm sorry to say that I didn't take any pictures of the packaging, but this is what your cake will look like when shipped:

Each cake also comes with a gift card:

I had the pleasure of trying the Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake. All I can say is, "Mmmm!" I took the cake into work with me and the girls & I had so much fun "testing" the cake. I work with my husband and he even joined in on the fun and had not one, but TWO slices! The Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake is an 8" round cake that is full of chocolatey goodness. It's rich and it's sinfully satisfying, yet it's not overly sweet {at least not in my opinion} and certainly tamed my sweet tooth. I think what is so perfect about this particular cake is that it wasn't cake. It definitely had the smooth, chewy brownie texture & consistency going on and that was A-OK in my book!

Here is a picture of the cake:

Can you see all of the chocolatey goodness that I was talking about? My mouth is watering just looking at the picture! Taste testing this particular cake has only left me with wanting more and I cannot wait to try more of their products.

I truly feel that Bake Me A Wish makes a great product & the premise of their business is perfect...especially for those with family far away, those who don't care to bake or those who are just "stuck" in a gift giving rut. The prices are fairly reasonable and shipping charges, while they seem high, are to be expected for the nature of the business.




Here's where the fun begins...

Bake Me A Wish has generously offered one of my readers a Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake!

We're going to keep this contest simple...and fun! Here's what you need to do in order to be entered to win the Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake:
  • Visit Bake Me A Wish & leave me a comment telling me which cake tickles your fancy the most

For extra entries:

  • Blog about this
  • Follow my blog
  • Befriend me on Twitter (@maliasma)
  • Twitter about this

That's a total of 5 entries...and all of your entries can be in the same comment or separate comments. I will export all entries into Excel and use Random.org to choose a winner. This giveaway will be open until 11:59pm EST on Sunday, July 19th and a winner will be chosen on Monday, July 20th. The winner will receive their cake shipped directly from Bake Me A Wish.

Good luck!!
