I found par­adise in Hawaii. I have been here for 2 days and I love it. The weather is awe­some. The view is even bet­ter. And the best thing? I get great beach hair. I love the way my hair dries when I am out­side on the beach. I get a great nat­ural high­light treatment.

I’m not going to be blog­ging much, but I will upload some pic­tures every few days.

View from my room look­ing down.

On Mon­day I will be turn­ing 43 and Jason and I are going to walk up Dia­mond head just because. I think it’s an awe­some way to remem­ber my 43rd birthday.

Have you ever been to Hawaii? This is my first time. What should not miss?

1-800-Flowers.com presents Summer of Smiles Sweepstakes This sum­mer has been mis­er­ably hot! But instead of let­ting it get us down, let’s make it a Sum­mer of Smiles. 1–800-FLOWERS.com wants to help us spread smiles this sum­mer. How you might ask? By send­ing flow­ers to friends.

Sum­mer of Smiles

What is the first thing you do when you get flow­ers com­pletely unex­pected and for no par­tic­u­lar rea­son? I bet you smile!:D

And when you open the box and find the flow­ers are from a friend, I’ll bet you smile again! :D

Every time you walk past those flow­ers and catch a whiff of the sweet aroma? I bet you smile! :D

You take a pic­ture of the flow­ers so you can remem­ber the joy. What do you do every time you see that pic­ture? I bet you smile! :D

Flow­ers bring a smile to our faces not once, but again and again. 1–800-FLOWERS.com gave me the oppor­tu­nity to send a Sum­mer of Smiles bou­quet to a friend. I sent my good friend, Cheryl this Hand­bag of Blooms bou­quet to bring a smile to her face.

Summer of Smiles, Handbag of Blooms

Now, when­ever Cheryl looks at the hand­bag, she will remem­ber the Sum­mer of Smiles and smile!

1-800-Flowers.com presents Summer of Smiles Sweepstakes Sum­mer of Smile Sweepstakes

1–800-FLOWERS wants to hear from you in their Sum­mer of Smile sweep­stakes. Tell them who needs a smile and they could win a smile and a Happy Day bouquet.

$50 1–800-FLOWERS.com Givewaway

1–800-FLOWERS.com is offer­ing one (1) $50 gift­card to one of my read­ers to spread the “Sum­mer of Smiles” joy.

To enter, tell me in the com­ments below what kind of flower is your favorite and why. For exam­ple, I love pan­sies because my grand­mother used to spend hours tak­ing care of her pan­sies in her gar­den. When­ever I see pan­sies, I think of my grand­mother and it makes me happy.

The give­away ends on Sun­day, August 29, 2010 at 11pm ET. I will ran­domly pick one name. You will have 24 hours to respond or I will choose another winner.

dis­clo­sure: In exchange for this post, I was given a $50 credit to send flow­ers to a per­son of my choice. I received no money com­pen­sa­tion. All opin­ions are my own.

Good Humor is Our Family’s Special Treat

08.18.2010 1 comment

We LOVE Good Humor in this house. The biggest prob­lem we have is that if I buy them, they do not last longer than maybe 4 hours at the most. So, when I saw an oppor­tu­nity to get a box of Good Humor bars (for free), eat them and then write about them, I jumped […]
