Smartypants Vitamins: Teen Guy and Teen Girl Complete Vitamin Giveaway

SmartyPants Vitamins: Teen Guy and Teen Girl Complete Giveaway

When I was young I did not like to take vitamins and I did not understand why it was important to take them daily. As an adult, there are many vitamins that still make me wonder and question their purpose but by and large I have a good idea of the things that my body needs.

As a teenager, not only did I not know what my body needed, but I did not give it much consideration. As it turns out I could have eased some growing pains had I just taken an all in one vitamin like the new SmartyPants Teen Complete Vitamins.

Why Dollar Tree is Your One Stop Back to School Headquarters

As not only a bargain shopper, but also as a crafter I am always on the lookout for good deals and bargains. One of the more expensive times of the year is Back to School time – many times there are lists of items that need to be purchased, and at times the need to go to multiple stores is needed.

As I was recently walking through my local Dollar Tree I realized that those classrooms lists that forced my father to numerous stores, could be purchased at Dollar Tree.

Stampin’ Up: Love Today Planner Review

Keep Love on the Schedule – Love Today Planner by Stampin’ Up Review + Giveaway

There are busy days ahead, there is no doubt – the school season has returned. With this new year comes appointments, meetings, carpools, assignments due and somehow finding time for you to breathe.

One of the biggest struggles is keeping all these dates and schedules straight. I have tried to make sticky notes in strategic places that I know I will see. These fall and inevitably end up doing nothing more than assisting me in forgetting the event. I have tried phone reminders but I end up “snoozing” those, and before I know it, I have snoozed through another event. There is one method that helps me keep events and dates in order – a nice planner. I am a simple gal and need a calendar, room to write events and places to put random pieces of paper.

A couple of years ago my favorite planner finally had met it’s fateful end while I was sad, I never anticipated that it would be so difficult to replace. Ever since I had that loss I have been on a search for an adequate replacement. When I saw the new Love Today Planner Kit by Stampin’ Up it was the closest thing to my beloved planner.
