Tropicana Pure Premium 100% Florida Orange Juice

I don't know how many of you like to read but I love reading. Especially when the book is about a businessman, make him a Christian and I love it. Anthony T. Rossi founder of Tropicana was both and his biography is one of the most unique stories I have ever read.
Now Tropicana has a sweepstakes going on on their Facebook Page and I'm able to blog about. You can enter on their Facebook page and there are 100 Florida Prizes including a one year supply of Tropicana Orange Juice. How cool is that. 99 people will be selected to win 12 coupons for 59 oz Tropicana Pure Premium containers. And 1 person will be selected to win a trip to a Florida Orange Grove and will be allowed to bring 3 people with them. It will include a round trip airfare for four people to Florida, a three night stay at a Florida hotel. For more info visit Tropicana. I personally have done this and it is quick and easy.
Tropicana as I said before was started by Anthony T. Rossi and it is currently the largest single buyer of Florida fruit. They purchase roughly 11.6 Billion Oranges a year. That's huge! They also use Groves in 22 different counties in Florida mainly the central and south part of Florida. And best of all Tropicana is 100% PURE Florida Orange Juice, I don't know about you but nothing can even come close to Pure orange juice. Every other type just doesn't taste the same.
I was recently able to spend almost a month down in Florida with my family and let me tell you it was fun. We went to Tampa, and Orlando, Panama City, and many other places. We got to visit friends we haven't seen in about a year and we also went to alot of interesting attractions. Some of us went to the Tampa Zoo, Lego Land, Medieval Times, The Museum of Science and Industry. Here we were able to go on a flight of stairs that eventually turned into bars up probably 50-75 feet up into the air yes we were strapped in but this was an interesting and exciting attraction. Thankfully Florida also has Chick Fil A which sells non-other than Tropicana Orange Juice. I had it for breakfast alot and boy was it good. While in Tampa we were also able to see the Tropicana Field. My mom made sure to get some pictures.
If all of my readers could please go and like the Tropicana page both I and Tropicana would love it.
All in all my trip was an enjoyable one with lots of nice weather we even got to go camping some. The one thing I missed though was going to one of the Tropicana Orange Groves. Next time I'm down there I will be sure to stop by one and take a tour and maybe even get some Tropicana Pure Orange Juice.

Miracle-Gro Expand 'n Gro Concentrated Planting Mix Review

This post brought to you by Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine.

I don't know about you but I love pretty flowers, not so much the planting them but once they bloom it is well worth the work. We have recently purchased Roses, tulips and one of my sisters is doing a vegetable/fruit garden. Now before you can plant you need to have all the necessary tools ready to use and now one item I would say is necessary is the  Expand ‘n Gro™ (you can get a $3.00 off coupon on here) Planting Mix. This mix help your flowers and vegetables up to 3 times more than native soil. If your plants are in pots hanging from your porch or if they are in the ground Miracle Gro works. It now helps your plants to get bigger and the concentrated mix will expand up to 3 times in water. And the mix feeds your plants for 6 months, it also has a natural fiber so it holds up to 50% more water than normal potting mix. 

Here is a small video clip you can view about the usefulness of Scott's Expand 'n Gro Planting Mix.

I say that if you plan on planting anything this year whether it be plants, flowers, or vegetables you should use Miracle-Gro it is so much better than anything else.

Spring Cleaning My Spice Rack

Guest post written by Ariele Myers

I like to do spring cleaning in waves in my household. If I try to do it all at once it just ends up being entirely too much and getting really crazy. So this past weekend I decided that it was time to tackle my kitchen cabinets, which were pretty messy after all of the holiday cooking that I've done this winter.

One area that I knew needed some extra attention was my spices, so I looked online to see what other people have done to organize their spice cabinet. While I was looking for spice organization tips, I ran across some stuff on Sears Windows and was glad because we're going to replace our windows in about a month or so. We were thinking about going with some local contactor, but these were at a better price than the ones we'd been quoted before.

I finally did find the perfect tips to help create my newly organized spice rack and it gave me a little more motivation to cook. And I thought that I had nearly cooked myself out from all the holiday stuff!

Sunglass Man Online Review and $20.00 Gift Card Giveaway

I was recently allowed to review a pair of sunglasses from the Sunglass Man Online and I have to say they have some of the sweetest yet still affordable sunglasses I have ever seen. I got the Compare to Armani #729. These have got to be some of the nicest glasses I have ever worn.
They have nice lenses that cover the eyes but aren't overly huge like some sunglasses today. They also have a nice plastic frame that is large enough it won't break real easy. They also have a logo on the side a V inside what looks like a checker board. Some of my friends thought this was really cool.
Here is what the Sunglass Man Online says about this glasses. "Do you need a high end look without the Armani designer price tag? Do yourself a favor and check out this new replica style, complete with a designer inspired print and logo on each arm. Durable build quality and full UV400 protection."
And here is the specifications"Frame Material: Plastic
Lens Type: Regular UV
Sunglass Type: Fashion"

Novica Mens Scarf Review and $30.00 Gift Card Giveaway

I was recently able to review a really neat company called Novica. Novica is an online store that has items from around the world including Andes, Bali and Java, Brazil, Central America, India, Mexico, Thailand and West Africa. They carry items like pots, and vases, clothing for men and women including scarves, shirts, pants and accessories like wallets, ties etc.
I was given a $30.00 gift card and chose to review the Alpaca Blend Scarf Charcoal Gift of Warmth.
When I received the scarf I was surprised at how soft and warm it was. This scarf is an excellent way to stay warm and look fashionable while doing it. And to top it all it comes from Peru.
Alpaca is made with natural fibers 60% Acrylic and 40% Alpaca.
Here is what Novica says about this wonderful scarf. "Fashion and tradition combine in an exquisite scarf by Isidoro C'cahuantico. Crafted of an alpaca blend in charcoal gray, it adds elegance to the winter wardrobe. Lightweight alpaca is a luxurious fleece renowned for its warmth."
The Artist as told by Novica "Isidoro C'cahuantico Mendoza was born on April 4, 1954, in a village near Cuzco. During the 1970s, he was forced to migrate when terrorist activities swept his region. Accepting various jobs, he soon found himself working as a janitor in a textile factory.
"I was completely fascinated with the work they were doing!" Isidoro recalls. "I became enamored with the textile arts at first sight.
"At night, when everyone had gone home and I was left alone to sweep and clean, I began to look at the looms and machines and to experiment with them, just out of curiosity. Some days later, one of the weavers complained to the supervisor that his machine was never the way he'd left it the night before. The owner asked who kept adjusting the loom, and was surprised beyond belief to learn that the culprit was me!
"She asked me why I was using the loom, and I replied that I wanted to learn to weave. She said that if I really wanted to learn, I should learn to assemble one of the spare looms in the warehouse.
"That was one of the most important and memorable moments in my life! My curiosity led me into the world of textiles, looms, knits and weaves.
"That was the beginning of a vocation, a great gift that I have now also passed along to my children. My two older children work with me, weaving and knitting fine alpaca textiles, and my daughter does the best crochet work I have ever seen. I hope all of my four children eventually develop my same love and passion for weaving!
"I would like to assure Novica customers that every garment we create carries with it our creativity and hard work. Your appreciation for our work motivates us to continue perfecting our skills and our art!"

Novica also asked me to mention a new Home Party Division on their Novica Live page.
We’re excited to announce the launch of NOVICA Live, our new gifts and jewelry home party division. Over the years, our customers have told us that they would love to see our products live and in person. For this reason, we launched our new party plan division giving Consultants the opportunity to do just that -- showcase beautiful gifts and jewelry through home parties in an entertaining way, while supporting artisans worldwide. If you're interested in hosting a party, please visit our Home Party Opportunities page or if home based selling is of interest, then view our Home Party Consultant page. Thank you!
