Care For Your Lawn With Scotts Snap Spreader System - Making Lawncare a Snap!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

This summer we have BIG plans for our yard, including a great garden for the whole family, taming our shrubs, and bringing back our grass, which has been taken over by moss and weeds.

We went to Home Depot over the weekend and I saw this wonderful new lawn product called the Scotts® Snap® Spreader System.  It looks so easy to use, and they have made lawn care simple by providing different systems depending on what you need help with: annual maintenance (which is kid and pet friendly), weed problems, insect problems and working with shady areas.  Just Snap, Lock and Go!

This is a GREAT alternative to paying a lawn care specialist to come in, which can be VERY expensive in the long run.  All you need is the spreader itself and the Snap packs (which are very user friendly).  You simply snap them into the spreader, use it on your lawn, and then save the rest by storing the mess-free insert.  Shhh - this means that the remaining product will not get thrown out or wasted - you use as much as you need, and save the rest until the next time you need it!  No more spilled seed bags - ever!

Find out more by checking out this great testimonial:

The Scotts® Snap PERKS Program begins March 7, 2012. Go on and "like" Scotts ® Facebook page for the chance to win amazing prizes!

Aromafloria's Stress Less Spa Products: Review

Stress Less  by Aromafloria is a wonderful spa type bath collection, including hand and body lotion, massage oil, body wash, bubble bath, foaming salt glow polish, inhalation beads, and ocean mineral bath salts.  This wonderfully soothing collection has the gentle scent of lavender, and each item is designed to pamper your skin and your senses.

The scent is light and soothing (very typical of lavender products), which is heavenly while using it, and leaves a very light scent behind.

I've had a chance to try the Stress Less Bath and Body Massage Oil, Stress Less Bubble Bath, Stress Less Foaming Salt Glow Polish, and Stress Less Ocean Mineral Bath Salts.  Each item can be used by itself, or in combination with each other.  Of course, for the ultimate experience, use ALL of them!!

I am a little partial to the Stress Less Ocean Mineral Bath Salts as baths are a luxury and I love how soothing and soft the bath salts makes the water, but it really is hard to pick a favorite.

As a side note, the Stress Less Bath and Body Massage Oil is great at taking off those pesky temporary tattoos that my boys are so fond of... and what Mom can say no when a 2 year old brings his favorite superhero over and points to Mommy's hand or arm... yep - I get tattoo'd almost as often as the boys.

The Stress Less Collection by Aromafloria: Lotion, Oil, Body Wash, Bubble Bath, Foaming Salt Glow Polish, Inhalation Beads, Bath Salts

Hand and Body Lotion: Rich in naturally active skin nourishing ingredients including Borage Oil, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera and Vitamins to help protect your skin. (100% Vegan • No Animal Testing • Safe For the Planet Biodegradable • Sulfate Free • Parabens Free • Phthalate Free)

Bath and Body Massage Oil: Rub away tension and absorb the benefits of deep relaxation. Restore balance in life with an aromatherapeutic massage.

Body Wash: Wash away anxiety and pressure during a steam-filled shower. The perfect remedy that brings serenity to your body and mind.

Bubble Bath: Pour tranquility back into your body and mind through alleviating baths that soak away anxiety and pressure.

Foaming Salt Glow Polish (Scrub): Scrubs away daily stress while exfoliating sea salts gently reveal smoother, firmer feeling skin.

Inhalation Beads: Don’t let the pressure of daily life take control. Peaceful aromas of lavender, chamomile and sage offer refuge. Discover instant relief for the active life. Inhale, exhale, relax. How to Use: Fill the enclosed pouch or place in a favorite container. Let your senses inhale nature's own remedies for body, mind and spirit.

Pure Pearls Freshwater Bracelet: Simply Perfect (For ANY Occasion)

Pearls are ageless, timeless, and have endless beauty, I've said that before, and I stand by it!  Pearls make women of all ages feel special, like they are princesses.  I think that is one of the reasons why I love to wear pearls.

They enhance our beauty, and they give us a sense of pride and confidence...  and they make us feel really, REALLY special, or at least that is how I feel when I'm wearing them.

I also believe that pearls are one of the most versatile pieces of jewelry that a girl or woman can have, be it earrings, a bracelet, or a necklace (or all three).  They can be dressed up with a fancy dress (think prom, weddings, Sunday best), or they can be worn with jeans for a day out with the girls, or date night.

(My grandmother gave me an heirloom strand of pearls when I graduated, and I have worn them for just about every special occasion I've had since, including my wedding and numerous family portraits.)

I received my very first pearls as a gift from my Grandma when I was a little ballerina, and again when I graduated.  They created a very special memory for me, so I highly encourage simple pearls as a wonderful gift.  Need a gift for Mother's Day, a birthday, a new ballerina, a new bride, a graduate? Pearls are perfect!  They also make a perfect gift for yourself!

I've found the selection and prices at PurePearls.com to be wonderful, and their quality is amazing.  The site is elegant, easy to navigate, and they have a huge selection of pearl jewelry in all price ranges with free shipping in the US.  They have a large assortment including: Pearl Bracelets, Freshwater Pearls, Pearl Sets, and even some great pearl jewelry for Men.

I was given the opportunity to review Pure Pearls' AA+ 7.0-8.0mm Freshwater Pearl Bracelet (which comes in white, pink, lavender, multi-colored or black).  I had previously reviewed a beautiful Lavender pearl necklace and lavender pearl earrings from Pure Pearls, so I chose this one in lavender to match.


When the bracelet arrived, I eagerly opened the beautiful black velvet case and put it on.  I was amazed.  Not only did they match perfectly, but the color is just beautiful.

The bracelet arrived inside an elegant velvet box, which was nestled inside a white gift box.  The necklace came with a GIA Prepared Appraisal Certificate, and care instructions.

I got them just in time to wear to my Grandmother's 93rd birthday tea lunch with some of the girls in our extended family.  I really enjoyed the compliments I received and the ability to dress up and have fun for a special occasion.
