Nivea #SharetheSensation Challenge & Giveaway

February 28, 2013 By Michelle Barneck 1 Comment

Valentine’s Day brought the delivery of a dozen roses from my sweetheart, but also the delivery of a challenge from Nivea. They asked me to switch out my usual lotion and try out their Smooth Sensation lotion for 7 days. “If they want to tackle my winter skin” I thought, “bring it on!”

Winter for me means spiky dry legs. I’m being oh so real here. I am known to shave only once a week and with no sun on them for months my poor gams are as white and dry as the desert we live in. No one knows right, I wear pants all the time. Ya, no one knows except for my husband who gets to share sleeping quarters. Poor guy. I even whine to him about how itchy my legs get from not seeing the sun in months.

So I tried the lotion and you know what. It was great. I even shaved my legs multiple times this week. Impressive right?! My skin was smoother, my legs didn’t itch and my feet saw a vast improvement. I even noticed how awful our new sheets are (I bought cheap ones because the color was right, but everything else is oh so wrong.) because my feet were so much more sensitive lacking the layer of dry ugliness. I’m rather pleased with the whole experiment and well, so is the hubs! He is all smiles. I even got a foot rub! Woot woo!

Want to try out the “Share the Sensation Challenge for yourself? Enter to win a Challenge kit of your own valued at $225!

Share the Sensation Challenge Kit ($255+ value)

  • 2 bottles Nivea Smooth Sensation lotion
  • $25 Fandango Card
  • Samsung ST200 SMART camera

These are a Few of My Favorite Things Giveaway

February 20, 2013 By Michelle Barneck 179 Comments

It’s my blogiversary today and you know what that means?! Time to party. Since you won’t all fit in my house to celebrate for real, let’s celebrate with a humongo door prize! I thought it would be so awesome if I could gather together all of my favorite brand and share with you my favorite craft and decor products that I use here all the time. And guess what, they all came through big time. 

Anyone interested in over $600 in prizes?





So now you’ve seen a glimpse of the prizes, let me tell you why each one made my favorites list!

It’s no secret that I am a big fan of Cricut. I love my Cricut Mini and also love the people over there. Seriously awesome people. The CEO even hugged me at the end of an event I helped them plan?! So of course they had to be included at the top of my list of my favorite things. They, like me, want you to have a Cricut Mini ($130 value) too! It cuts cardstock like a charm, but I have also used it for magnet material, fabric, heat transfer and of course vinyl. Oh, and did you know their image downloads start at just 99 cents? Rock on Cricut!

I love easy and that is what Elmer’s and X-acto make many of my projects. I have used their products to bring countless ideas (3ft present, puppet playhouse, etc) to fruition. When they asked what my favorite things were to include in the prize package I listed like 10 things (no joke). Well, they ran with it and came up with a fabulous prize package worth $100 including: 
·         X-ACTO 12” X 12” Designer Series Self-Healing Mat
·         X-ACTO Designer Series Gripster Craft Knife
·         X-ACTO Designer Series Corner Rounder Punch
·         X-ACTO Designer Series Decorative Shapes Templates
·         X-ACTO Designer Series 8” Scissors
·         X-ACTO Designer Series 12” Rotary Paper Cutter
·         Elmer’s CraftBOND All Purpose Glue Stick
·         Elmer’s CraftBOND Permanent Dot Runner
·         Elmer’s CraftBOND Foam Mounting Tape
·         Elmer’s CraftBOND Glue Spots
·         Elmer’s Mini Bi-Fold Foam Board
·         Painters Sherbet Swirl
·         Painters Metallics


Rod Works is one of those places where you walk in and want to buy everything in the display. They have unique home decor to suit every taste and a walk through the store will give you so many ideas on how to group items or use pieces in different ways. You can see just a few of the items from my wish list above. They want to give you a good start on your wishlist so they are giving away TWO $50 gift cards!


My most recent favorite tool as seen used on my upholstered headboard are stencils and Cutting Edge Stencils has so many beautiful patterns! I love how you can get them BIG so it make large scale projects so much faster. With a little spray adhesive and their simple how-to videos you won’t believe how easy it is to get a crisp eye popping pattern! Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself. Cutting Edge is giving away TWO $50 gift certificates!


I was recently introduced to Catching Fireflies and love the whimsical and fun things they have to offer. From inspirational home decor to original gift ideas they have a great assortment to make even the pickiest smile. Some of my favorites are pictures above and they want you to choose your favorites with a $53 gift card!


Martha Stewart Crafts is no question one of my favorite brands. If I listed all the projects I have made with her paint, punches, glitter and brushes it would take up this whole post. I recently did a really fun glitter nail post which inspired this prize. I am so excited to be able to give away the Punch All Over Pattern Heartbeat and a 24 pack of glitter!


Pick Your Plum is not only one of my favorites because of the fun crafty and decor swag they have, but because it is a new great deal every day! I love popping in to see what the deal of the day is from burlap baskets to scarves to twine. It’s always exciting to see what the new deal is, but even more exciting to have the chance to win a $50 box of swag!

Raise your hand if you love washi tape? I finally got in on the trend just before Christmas and it is awesome. Such a fabulous way to add color and pattern to just about anything. So, the favorites I’ve found come from Downtown Tape and they are giving away 10 rolls of tape and 25 tags for you to fancy up. Awesomesauce!


So now that I’ve shared my favorites, 
who wants to win them?!
