Have You Seen What the Girl Scouts are Doing Lately? Not Just Cookies! #icantwaitto

Disclaimer:  I received a free box of Girl Scout cookies. I was not required to post but wanted to share this great information with my readers. As always, my opinion is my own.

Have you taken a look at the Girl Scouts lately?  They have some wonderful programs for girls of ALL ages... including adults.  Take a peek and give the Girl Scouts a look and see what they have for you and your girls for 2013 and beyond:  They still have those yummy cookies but they have ALOT more than that!

Check out all the wonderful ways they are working with girls and women of all ages...from Kindergarten on up!  You can find a local troop, check out Girl Scout camps, activities, events and even volunteer.  The cookies still taste delicious but Girl Scouts are a lot more than that. 

You can follow them on all your fave social media sites below too!

TruMoo Chocolate Milk Review through BzzAgent

Disclaimer: I received this information and a coupon to try TruMoo complimentary through my membership with BzzAgent. As always, my opinions are my own.

 

BzzAgent is up to exciting things again this fall. If you haven't heard about them, BzzAgent is a company that shares products or product coupons and asks members to review the products honestly on social media and share their thoughts with others.  I've actually been a member for years now and it is always a fun experience.  Just recently, BzzAgent invited me to join the TruMoo Chocolate and Vanilla Milk campaign.

Have you been trying to trick your little ones into drinking milk for years now and it is just not working?  Finally you have a REAL solution that will get your kids to drink good-for-you yummy in the tummy milk from TruMoo^® 

^{I am lucky, my little one has always voluntarily drank milk without nagging. But TruMoo chocolate milk is always a nice treat for mommy, daddy or the little one. It did get my little one to drink more milk I have to say. That fun orange Halloween color got the excitement going! I actually started drinking TruMoo  post-workout to pump my energy up.  It really works.} 

^{Now there is even a limited edition TruMoo that  launched just for Halloween.  What sounds yummier than new Vanilla in Halloween orange. That will get them to drink their milk, right?  You can also enter to win an all-expense paid Goosebumps Haunted Hollywood Vacation over on the TruMoo Facebook page.  You can even get $2.00 off on any Goosebumps DVD.}

Find out How to Unleash Your Leopard and help Chico's to Fund Innovative Research this Fall #IStandUpFor

Disclaimer:  I received a Chico's leopard scarf complimentary through Harper's Bazaar and Chico's. As always, my opinion is my own.

These days, who DOESN'T have a family member or close friend who has been diagnosed with cancer?  It seems like it is everywhere. So frightening. Scary. Just upends everything you ever thought about your life when you hear that you, a family member or a close friend has received that horrifying diagnosis. You don't understand until you are in it. Trust me. You THINK you do, but you don't. 

Lives are turned upside down. Doctor's appointments that are never ending. Treatments. Biologics, chemotherapies, radiation...all these tests. Ugh. It seems like innovative cancer research can't happen fast enough to find long term cures and better responses to treatments. So many researchers are just working tirelessly though. They really are.  Trying to improve what we have, make it better and coming up with new options that improve on what we have. 

Chico's knows this and wants to help.  Sometimes you want to help too but you just don't know what to do.  I found the perfect fashionable solution! This Fall, Chico’s has joined forces with Stand Up To Cancer® (SU2C) to support innovative cancer research. The heart has always been at the core of Chico’s, whose passion for charitable giving has continued to grow for 30 years. 

Also, you can help Stand Up To Cancer at Chico’s boutiques on October 17 so don't forget! Chico's came up with a fashionable option for you this Fall. You can unleash your leopard and Stand Up To Cancer with a gorgeous scarf.  Luxuriously soft and silky, this chic leopard scarf was designed in collaboration with Harper's BAZAAR to help support innovative cancer research.  It is a win-win for everyone. You know how animal patterns are so on trend for the Fall too. This chic scarf adds a perfect flair to a dress, blouse or even a purse.  

Here are all the fashionable details:

• Chico's will donate $10 from the sale of each scarf to Stand Up To Cancer ^®.
• Measurements: 45" by 88".
• 100% polyester.
• Hand wash, cold. Imported.

Donations valid from August 24, 2013 through October 31, 2013 up to $150,000. Stand Up To Cancer is a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization.
