Saving BIG For Disney With Paperless Coupons! #WalgreensPaperless

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.

I have a love-hate relationship with coupons. Our relationships hasn’t always been strained but over the years we have had our differences. Don’t get me wrong, when I was pregnant five years ago I spent a lot of my free time clipping, organizing, and enjoying the thrill of saving. If anyone knew how to use coupons it was me. My family referred to me as freebie queen and frugalista because I was always taking advantage of a new deal. But as the years passed I became busy with many other things- working, school, parenting, and blogging. I just don’t have all that extra time to slave away, flipping through mailers and snipping until the wee hours of the night.

Dont Wait For The Truck: Cool Off This Summer With An #IceCreamRun!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

Am I the only one that thinks this Summer went by way too fast? Seriously, what the heck happened to the last couple of months! I think I am going to blame it on the heat and humidity, seems like a valid argument. It’s so hard to focus on anything else when it’s hot as the Sahara desert here. Every time I pick the munchkin up from school she is sweaty, sticky, and craving something cold. We learned a long time ago that waiting around for the ice cream truck to make an appearance in our neighborhood could take days, weeks, maybe even months. It’s like a magical unicorn. You know it exists but you never see it. “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” We would rather make an ice cream run around the corner to our local Walgreens

This Summer Do More + Score BIG With Degree At Walgreens

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

When I was growing up sports were always a huge part of my life. My grandfather used to take me to all of the Florida Marlin’s baseball games and to this day we remain Dolphin’s season ticket holders. While I spent many years cheering from the sidelines at the the baseball and football games, I soon developed a passion for soccer as I entered high school. Kicking the ball around, being part of an organized team, and having the wind blow in your hair as you dashed to score a goal was beyond exciting. To this day I regret not trying out for the soccer team. Instead I moved my focus to cheerleading which was an interest that quickly faded away!

A SIMPLE Solution To Skin Care + Special Offer At Walgreens

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

Sensitive skin is an issue I am far too familiar with. I have always had a decent complexion, clear most of the time with an occasional stress induced breakout. But in time all good things must come to an end! Once I had Toodie I noticed a huge difference in my skin and how sensitive it became to the products I had been using years prior. Sure pregnancy gives you that natural “glow” that others rave about but after all that goes away your skin has to adjust back to normalcy. My usual routine was leaving my skin irritated and angry. I had the red splotchy spots, patches of bumpies, and dry areas that weren’t very flattering at the end of the day. I needed a miracle and after stumbling upon a Simple® Skincare display at Walgreens I had the answers and solutions I was looking for.

Walgreens + AXE Team Up For An X-Men Movie Ticket GIVEAWAY!

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

I have always considered myself a movie buff but a junkie would probably be more of a precise description. I adore going to the movies. Whether it’s horror, comedy, or action I am no stranger to the movie theater around the corner. Over the years my taste in movies has changed drastically. What was once a love for the cheesy romantic stories has now developed into a passion for super heroes. Around the 90’s, the elementary school days, I used to spend my afternoons watching the X-Men television series. I was mesmerized by the heroes, villains, mutants, and the unbelievably cool powers they possesed. To this day I am still a fan of Wolverine and Jean Grey. I don’t know if it’s their rather interesting romantic relationship or that they both have a mysterious dark side. Something has always drawn me to them both!

Capture Your Inner Beauty With Dove This Mother’s Day #spon

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence. 

Growing up I always found myself fixated on beauty. It was hard not to be. The pressure of being a young girl can be somewhat demanding. Not only do you have the need to fit in with your peers around you but there is also the constant reminder of what society views as “perfect.” It leaves you asking yourself if you are beautiful enough when in reality, this is a question that should never be asked. Of course you are! As the years went by and I entered adulthood I realized that I didn’t care how other people viewed me. My opinion was the only one that mattered. My mother always instilled confidence in me and taught me that beauty is only skin deep. Today I am teaching my own daughter the same.

Have A TRESemmé Saturdate® With Beauty At Walgreens! #TRESemmeChic #spon

This is a sponsored post on behalf of TRESemmé & Walgreens. I received a TRESemmé product and compensation in exchange for my participation in this campaign with the Global Influence Network. All opinions are my own!

Fall is here, the weather is cooling down, and my hair is finally cooperating. This calls for a celebration, or maybe just a day of shopping. Whenever I have the urge to splurge on my beauty needs there is one place I am always sure to head first, Walgreens! With one right around the corner from my home I am there at least once a week and it’s usually on a Saturday. On the weekend you have the chance to chat with Walgreens Beauty Advisors on different topics and learn about the brand they are currently promoting. They also have a killer rewards program where you can earn points on your purchases and cash them in for additional savings. Never been to one of these “Saturdate” events? You are in luck. There is one coming up very shortly in two weeks and it’s going to feature the well known brand TRESemme!Continue Reading
