I’ve been admiring jewelry from The Vintage Pearl from afar for quite some time, and had the opportunity to meet Erin, of The Vintage Pearl fame, for a split second at Blissdom.

Erin creates custom, handstamped jewelry, ranging from necklaces and bracelets to earrings and keepsakes, and has offered one of you a $50 gift certificate to The Vintage Pearl!

Her jewelry is really unique and exquisitely made – sure to attract people’s attention. I know I adore the I adore the layered mother of pearl necklace, which I spotted someone wearing at Blissdom, and matching mother of pearl earrings.

(Another acceptable birthday gift, if anyone is interested.)

To enter, visit The Vintage Pearl and leave a comment with which piece is your favorite.

I also hope you’ll take a few minutes to friend and follow The Vintage Pearl on Facebook and Twitter, and bookmark Erin’s blog.

My husband has an aversion to the majority of foods that are found growing in nature.

Except oranges.

As long as they are in juice form.

And only Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice.

Which makes it a damn good thing that Tropicana chose me to be a Juicy Insider because any other juice triggers his gag reflex.

And it’s not pretty.

In the coming months, I’m going to show you exactly how the Tropicana Juicy Rewards program works, but it doesn’t get much more complicated than this…

• drink Tropicana Pure Premium OJ
• redeem points
• get big bucks off local museums, attractions, and activities
• have bushels of family fun

More juicy info to come my little cuties!

I wrote this review while participating in the Tropicana Juicy Insiders Ambassador program by Mom Central on behalf of Tropicana. I received 12 free Juicy Rewards points and a $50 Visa gift card to use in redemption of the points and to facilitate my review. Please see my site policy if you have any questions.

Congratulations to our winner…Cady!

I know breakfast is good for me, but do I ever actually eat breakfast? No.

I blame my personal chef. He never shows up.

Oh well. I didn’t need him this morning anyway. I made myself a Yoplait Frozen Smoothie – full of fresh fruit and creamy yogurt. Just add a splash of milk and blend.

Even I can do that.

At 110 calories per serving and with flavors like strawberry banana, strawberry mango pineapple, and triple berry – I know Yoplait Frozen Smoothies are good for me.

If your personal chef has a bad habit of not showing up in the morning, here’s how to WIN a VIP coupon for a free package of Yoplait Frozen Smoothies plus a fabulous smoothie blender…

4. My Kids Art on Canvas

My Kids Art on Canvas turns kids artwork into masterpieces – ready to hang and display! My cousins (and husband) created the robot above with acrylics on paper, I scanned and uploaded the photo, chose from several personalization options, and less than a week later the custom artwork is hanging in my kitchen! If you don’t have the ability to scan your favorite artwork, don’t worry – you send them the artwork and they’ll scan it for you! You’ll be thrilled with the quality of your little one’s artwork when transferred onto canvas – truly museum (or living room) worthy!

Choose your monster’s shape, color, eyes, and belly design – you can even have your monster embroidered with your little monster’s name!

The green guy above is my custom monster. The interactive designer was super easy to use (it is kid-friendly) and the options are seemingly endless. I spent quite some time deliberating on my monster’s colors and even had my husband weigh in. He turned out totally adorable, and not the least bit scary!
