Not Everyone's Mama

Too good to be true, right? I searched it. People have gotten their welcome gift

These rustic bamboo rings are a fun look for summer. You can pump up their sultry, bohemian feel with a casual side braid and a floral summer dress. Or keep your look toned down for work, and still wear a lucky charm that makes you smile.

So how do you get it? Head on over to Sneak Peeq.
This is where I had to Google it because after signing up I couldn’t figure out where the free ring was at.

Now, you can choose to pay $1 for shipping and handling, or share the offer via messaging on Facebook with other friends and get free shipping making it…………

Completely free!

I paid the $1 just because I wasn’t sure if the friends they had chosen for me would appreciate the message. In the first offer where you share with 3, my mom, my aunt, and my cousin. Those were three people I knew wouldn’t unfriendly me if they weren’t interested.

Go on over to Sneak Peeq and grab your free ring!

I got the coolest flip flops the other day! Designed them myself and they are pretty sweet if I do say so myself.

Purple and gold were my high school colors and since my kids go to my alma mater, I figured I would design my flip flops around those colors.

You can make your own Havaianas sandals in 4 easy steps.

Order it and you will have those flip flops in just a couple of days!

I know there isn’t a lot of time left for those parties, but I still think this would be the perfect gift for grads, either in their high school colors or in the colors of the college that they will be off to this fall.

I ordered them and had them within 3 days so very quick turn around.

Don’t know a grad this year? No problem, neither do I. Grab a pair in your favorite colors or I have 3 of my 4 kids begging for a pair, in purple and gold none the less. Such a fun way to show off your school spirit! The cost is reasonable enough that I will get each of them a pair. You would think that making your own pair of shoes would be outrageous in cost, but starting at $25 for a women’s pair of colored straps and colored base, it’s not bad.

If you grab a pair for yourself, they are more comfy than your average pair of flip flops. I’ve had them on my feet since I got them, except for church on Sunday. Love how they feel! My feet sighed after I kicked off my heels I wore to church and put these back on.

They don’t just have make your own sandals. They have more flip flop styles than I have ever seen before, plus other shoes for men, women, and children. My favorite pair of sandals that they have?

Are those not cute as can be? I’d wear those everywhere.

So, head on over. Grab a pair for your grads, your kids, yourself, and then wear those fun flip flops all summer long (and until it snows, if you’re like me at all.)

Have a great day!

I promised you a giveaway when I told you about Built Of Barnwood. It’s here!

I ordered the red Ian cross for one of my lucky readers!

You will love it! I received mine in yellow the other day and I love it!

That’s mine.

This giveaway below is sponsored by me. I purchased the cross myself because I believe in BOB and their purpose.

BOB is a collaborative effort between two multi talented brothers. Built of Barnwood is based in the charming coastal town of Bay St Louis Mississippi. They are focusing on reclaiming, recycling and re-purposing vintage wood and building materials. Once reclaimed they are turned into usable artwork, home furnishing and design accent pieces. Together Bob Somerhalder and Ian Somerhalder strive for a greener more sustainable economy. With this green desire in mind, they have launched a clean and sustainable business that is a hot and trendy product line for home decor and furniture.

Do you recognize one of those names? Ian Somerhalder? Our favorite vampire on The Vampire Diaries. A very passionate soul when it comes to conservation and so is his brother Bob. (And the whole family too from what I have seen on Facebook.). When you purchase from BOB, you are supporting the IS Foundation because part of the proceeds go straight over there, where Ian and his team are striving to improve this world we live in for us and for everything else on this planet.

So, how do you win this red Ian cross?

Easy entry.

Just tell me your favorite way to recycle/upcyle things. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, it could be as simple as taking your cans to a recycling center or you may have done an elaborate project involving pallets, mason jars, and some cabinet handles. The sky is the limit.

There are a few other entries that aren’t mandatory, including donating to the IS Foundation. You do need to forward the email that you did that, but please feel free to delete any information that you feel is inappropriate for others to see. I just need the part that says $5 donation paid to IS Foundation.

Get on entering!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

To the FTC (wo)man: Greetings! This giveaway is sponsored solely by me. Built of Barnwood in no way asked me for nor reimbursed me for the prize, my words, my opinions, my thoughts. It is a prize I bought from a company I believe in.

I heard so much laughter coming from the living room that now I can’t wait to see it!

I even asked Jordan this morning what he thought of it. One word came out. Hilarious.

Definitely a movie for the entire family since Jordan is 13 and rarely watches anything his siblings watch anymore.

In the third entry in the popular live-action/animated series, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, their guardian Dave (Jason Lee), old foe Ian (David Cross), and Chipettes Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor wind up marooned on a tropical island. Their adventure includes an encounter with a mysterious castaway named Zoe (Jenny Slate), a dangerous volcano, a buried treasure, and a spider bite that brings about an odd change in Simon. Also features the voices of Justin Long, Anna Faris, Amy Poehler, and Christina Applegate.

I am loving Andrew Johnston’s new song/video, Something You Already Know.

Take a peak:

This week ANDREW JOHNSTON is making waves with a stellar video premiere on RELIX for “Something You Already Know;” the first single off of his debut album, The Wake of the Wonder Years. The stunning black and white video takes you on a journey, led by Johnston, in Montreal. Directed / Edited by Derek Dugas and co-Director Mike Paterson, the heartfelt video was shot over a freezing cold February weekend, with great friends in tow.

ANDREW JOHNSTON says about the piece:

“The Something You Already Know,” video showcases a side of Montreal that most tourists and people that idealize the Montreal cultural scene aren’t necessarily exposed to. In the video you can see the crumbling infrastructure, wide spread condo development, and bumper-to-bumper traffic that characterize the Montreal I know. The song is about the work a day world many of us inhabit and our efforts to remain hopeful in the face of our daily routine. Incidentally, the footage was shot near my place of work, and features many of the landmarks that make up my daily experience.”

“Something You Already Know,” is an infectious track that will leave you wanting more of what ANDREW JOHNSTON has to offer. With carefully strummed guitars starting off the track, as a strong piano makes an entrance, the song picks up with perfect harmonies, which is a little reminiscent of Sloan’s Between the Bridges. Take a peek at this gorgeous new video, and be prepared to discover your favorite new artist.

This is one of those songs that you will sit and sing with while nodding your head in agreement. I love it. He is going directly on my iPhone.

I honestly cannot wait to hear the rest of his album!

To my Canadian friends, you are lucky enough to have tour dates in your country!

Thursday, April 19th – Jackie and Judy’s – Montreal

Sunday, April 22nd- The Elmdale Tavern w/ Eric Passmore – Ottawa

Thursday, May 17th – The Central Bar – Toronto

My question was, why was Sam locked in Bobby’s panic room in season 4?

To help him get that demon blood out of his body of course!

Helps that I had just rewatched all 126 episodes (6 seasons) that Netflix has in their instant watch section.

Love love me some supernatural!

Anyone else completely excited for tonight’s new episode?
