$150 Sunglasses Giveaway from VSP Vision Care

Hey all, I have a great giveaway for you today – just in time for the spring and sunshine! Thanks to VSP for sponsoring this giveaway.

About: VSP Vision Care is the nation’s largest not-for-profit eyecare provider with more than 56 million members and one of their main missions is to help promote the importance of eye health in
connection to our overall health!

This month, VSP is reminding fashionable mommies like you about the importance of wearing sunglasses, year round and especially during the spring and summer months, to help protect our eyes against harmful UVA / UVB rays.

Here are some great tips about selecting and wearing sunglasses:

Labels: Make sure they carry a consumer-protection label stating they’re 99-100% UV-absorbent, or provide UV absorption up to 400 nanometers (nm).

Go big or wrap it: Bigger frames and lenses, and also wrap-around styles, give you
more UV protection because they block peripheral rays. Also, this is the trend this
season!

Go polar: Polarized lenses block out sunlight glare bouncing off windshields, pavement,
and other smooth surfaces.

Consider color: Gray lenses are best. Why? They don’t change colors. Green and brown
lenses are good too.

One lucky Mommies with Style winner will get to choose from a collection of $150 designer sunglasses!

Giveaway:

1) Comment to enter – What is one new tip about sunglasses that you learned from this post?

2) Tweet about this giveaway on Twitter & follow me on Twitter @WhitneyMWS

Skylander Adventure Packs: Available at Retail Value ($19.99) on Amazon RIGHT NOW!

So my Twitter friend Steve tweeted me about this to alert me this morning and I made a quick purchase and ran out the door. I just got home and had to search and saw they are STILL available. For those of you whose kids are into Skylanders, RUN to Amazon and snatch these up.

We’ve been looking for Skylanders Adventure Packs since CHRISTMAS and have been unsuccessful thus far. (You can get them on eBay for completely jacked up prices but I was refusing to do that) The Adventure Packs are great because they come with two characters plus an additional item that will unlock another level to the game.

Get them now which you can – $19.99 for one Skylander Adventure Pack on Amazon with free shipping.

Review & #Giveaway: We Love the Creative Baby i-Mat

Today’s review and giveaway is a current favorite of ours: the Creative Baby i-Mat, my Animal World! This educational playmat sits on the floor and uses a voice pen and allows for interaction with the mat. The pen speaks the names of the animals on the mat in three different languages! Children can choose from English, Spanish and Chinese to hear the names of the animals spoken aloud.

My kids are LOVING this playmat. When the animals names are spoken, there is fun music and instruments played and my boys have now invented dances for different animals. Plus the i-Mat has a setting for Game Mode and the kids play games to find the different animals which is a lot of fun for them.

The price is steep at $69.99, to be sure, but it’s educational and allows for a lot of fun imaginary play so it’s well worth the money IMO. The mat comes in four puzzle pieces – easy to put together and additional fun for the kids. Get the Creative Baby i-Mat here.

Giveaway: We have one Creative i-Mat to giveaway to one lucky Mommies with Style reader!

Fresh Diet: Discount Coupon & Thoughts on the Food @FreshDiet

Last week, I reviewed the Fresh Diet - a diet and meal plan that gets delivered to your doorstep daily. I’m missing the food! I wanted to show you guys what some of my daily menu included.

So here is my first day from the Fresh Diet. I had a quiche for breakfast – all of the quiches were amazing! I didn’t eat the sugar-free cupcake that day because I don’t eat anything with sweetener. I think I had missed that when I was selecting my food but that is one thing I wanted to mention about this plan – a lot of the sweeter foods had sweetener in them, I could taste it. Since I’m more of a meat and potatoes than a cupcake for a snack girl, it wasn’t much of a problem but did want to mention that if you are thinking about it and have any sort of aversion to sweetener. Just pick accordingly!

20120320-131653.jpg

Day Two. Everything here was delicious! Except I didn’t get to taste the fresh mozzarella skewers because my five year old stole them from me and had them for HIS snack!

20120320-131638.jpg

Day Three. The Muffin at breakfast was especially delicious! All of the breakfasts from the Fresh Diet were really good.
20120320-131610.jpg

I won’t give you the rest of the days but you can see that you get quite a variety of food! The best part too was that I picked these foods. You can an option of 3-5 things for each meal and YOU select what you want. As long as you select ahead of time, you’ll have a menu every day of preselected foods that were your own choice.

Visit the Fresh Diet and use this link and special coupon to receive a special rate of $29.99 a day (normally $44.99) plus use coupon code semommar29 to receive 3 days free when you sign up for a 31 day plan.

This post is sponsored by The Fresh Diet. I also received a weeks supply of The Fresh Diet food to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

Tax Season #Giveaway from Staples: Mailmate Shredder & Accordian File

Tax Season again. All I have to say about that is, BLAH! My poor tax lady just loves me this time of year – I’m definitely not a fan of dealing with receipts, random 1099s and all that good paperwork that comes along with having to do your taxes.

With all that personal information, it’s key that you have a paper shredder, right? All those stories about identify theft are crazy and scary! It’s such a small change you can make – to have a paper shredder in your office and to shred all important paperwork once you are done with it! I know I definitely need to get better about it.

Love this Staples Mailmate M7 12-Page Paper Shredder for $89.99. A good price and it’s nice and tiny! The paper shredder we’ve been using is about twice the size – love that this one can go under a desk or somewhere in hiding.

Now thanks to Staples and the new Martha Stewart collection at Staples ($89.99) we have one Mailmate and one Martha Stewart Home Office Accordian File ($15.99 value) to giveaway.

#Giveaway: Suave Keratin Kit & $100 Walmart Gift Card

Suave Keratin 300x250 BannerSo I have pretty flat, thin hair and have never been a candidate for a Keratin treatment.  But I’ve seen tons of friends get them done and I’m always in awe of how absolutely amazing their hair turns out after the treatment.  But I also know that having the Keratin treatment done isn’t cheap or a small time commitment.  It takes hours and you can’t wash your hair after for days?  (Gross?  I would hate that!)

So when I heard about Suave Professionals NEW  Keratin Infusion Smoothing Kit, I thought it seemed like a great alternative.  Here’s some info about the product:

  • Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smoothing Kit is a keratin infused treatment you can use in your own home and it works JUST as well as the keratin treatments offered at top salons
  • The Keratin Kit leaves hair smooth, shiny, and manageable for up to 30 days

    • shine serums
    • shampoos & conditioners
    • dry shampoo
    • Leave in conditioner
    • Keratin Kit

    Giveaway: One lucky Mommies with Style winner will receive a set of Suave Professionals’ NEW Keratin Infusion Color Care Shampoo & Smoothing Conditioner and one $100 Walmart gift card.
