Gevalia Kaffe *GIVEAWAY*

February 14, 2012 By Melissa 22 Comments

Its no secret that I love my coffee!! Pretty much any and all coffees are welcome in my house! So trying Gevalia Kaffe sounded fun! Gevalia Kaffe is from Sweden – it is an exquisitely rich smooth coffee experience that is never bitter.

In Sweden, where the citizens drink more coffee than almost anywhere else in the world, Gevalia is their preferred brand. In fact, Gevalia enjoys the honor of being an official coffee of the Swedish Royal Court. It used to be only available online, but its now available in their 10 most popular varieties at Safeway and other grocery stores!

The House Blend was my favorite – its a medium/dark roast that has a great rich flavor that is not bitter at all. (And it smelled amazing.) Perfect for breakfast! The French Roast is fabulous as well – a more intense, dark roast. This would be perfect compliment to a rich chocolate dessert!! I highly recommend both – especially if you don’t like bitter coffees. I was amazed how smooth these both were!

WIN IT!

Girlymama is giving away a Gevalia Kaffe prize pack, that includes

  • (1) sample of the House Blend from Gevalia Kaffe
  • (1) sample of the French Roast Blend from Gevalia Kaffe

trop50 – *GIVEAWAY

January 19, 2012 By Melissa

If you’re anything like me, January means making your annual resolution to eat healthier. Once again, I’m back on the wagon, trying to shape up and eat better.  I also gave up artificial sweeteners over the summer, so diet drinks are usually out for me.

So, I was excited to try Trop50, orange juice with 50% less sugar and calories and no artificial sweeteners. Trop50 is made with Stevia, which is actually a plant (whereas you don’t see aspartame plants ;-) I started using Stevia in my coffee in place of other sweeteners and was excited to see it is the sweetener used in Trop50.

Side-by-side with regular orange juice, you can taste a difference, of course. But Trop50 doesn’t taste watered down or overly sweet like some ‘diet’ drinks. I felt like it just wasn’t quite as think as regular OJ – it really tasted ‘lighter’. With only 50 calories in a 8 oz glass, that makes sense!  Now I want to try some of the other versions available including pineapple mango and raspberry lemonade! YUM!

Trop50 True Resolutions celebrates the real reasons behind New Year’s resolutions. Share your secret motivation on the Trop50 facebook page and you’ll earn a coupon for $1 off Trop50 for yourself and 50¢ off coupons for up to 50 of your friends! And you submit a resolution or not, you can also enter a sweepstakes to win a $1,000 gift card. Hurry, ends 1/31/12!

WIN IT!

Girlymama is giving away a $50 Spa Week gift card courtesy of Trop50! To enter, share your beauty resolution!

DUB Garage Toys *GIVEAWAY*

December 12, 2011 By Melissa

*giveaway is now closed*
Toy State has teamed up with DUB Magazine  to roll out an exciting new line designed for the next generation of car enthusiasts. Like my son:

at the races...

He loved everything cars, so of course he loves remote control cars!!  We received a few DUB cars to try out and they are SUPER FUN! (And, um, not just for little boys. Turns out that grown up boys are quite fond of them as well.) We received the Control Freakz R/C, D-Jayz, and a Custom Ridez toy. Colin’s favorite was the  Control Freakz R/C, by FAR! He certainly likes the D-Jayz, and a Custom Ridez toys, but they cannot compete. The  Control Freakz R/C is amazing. Maybe it was the fact that it looks like a super cool race car! You can push buttons on the top of the car for lights and sound motorized action, or use your remote controller to trigger traditional full-function R/C driving. And the turbo feature is so awesome – you can boost your speed and light-up the rear wheels and hood scoop!

My son is almost four and he picked up driving these cars in seconds. The controls were easy to use for basic driving, but my husband was having a blast trying to do tricks and stuff. These will definitely be our go-to birthday gift for boys this year!

Do you have a little (or grown up) boy who would love some awesome toys!? Well, do I have a gift for you!!

WIN IT!

One lucky winner will receive not one, not two, but EIGHT  DUB prizes!!

(3) RIM ROCKERZ (Suggested Retail Price: $4.99): Popular licensed vehicle styles with signature DUB style and classic lights and sound play features!
(2) CUSTOM RIDEZ (Suggested Retail Price: $9.99): Motorized driving and pulsating beats have these licensed rides rollin’ in style!
(1) DUB GARAGE D-JAYZ (Suggested Retail Price: $14.99):  Freewheeling DUB Edition custom styles feature dual mixing decks that let you be the DJ!  Hip-hop music, DJ mixing sounds, and exciting light effects give each D-Jayz ride its own unique personality!
(1) DUB GARAGE BLAZERZ (Suggested Retail Price: $24.99): Lights, lights and more lights!  Hit the music and watch Blazerz glow!  Signature DUB Edition styles are fit with motorized driving action, custom music, and lights & sound fun to make Blazerz stand out from the crowd.
(1) DUB GARAGE CONTROL FREAKZ (Suggested Retail Price: $49.99):  DUB custom designs on popular Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro styles feature full-function R/C action with realistic vehicle sounds, cool tunes and an exciting light-up turbo drive mode!
