This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Piccadilly Restaurants for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Would you like to take the stress out of holiday cooking?  Piccadilly is here to help with their Holiday To-Go feasts.  For your Christmas feast, Piccadilly offers you a choice of turkey or ham and all of the trimmings.  The Holiday To-Go Feast serves 10-14 people, or if you are having just a small family gathering, Piccadilly has a Junior Holiday Feast to feed 4-6 people.

The Holiday Feast to go is just $54.99 for turkey or ham.  Or if you’d like the Junior Holiday feast, the cost is just $29.99 for turkey and $25.99 for ham.

Piccadilly is also offering all their homestyle sides and desserts ala carte, in case you prefer to do some of the cooking yourself.

To reserve your holiday feast, you must go to the Piccadilly website to find the location of your Piccadilly.  From there, you may place your order online, and then pick up your order at your local Piccadilly on the day of your get together. You must place your order at least 36 hours before your event.

Gift cards are also available, and Piccadilly has a special holiday offer for gift card purchasers.  For every $50 you spend on gift cards, Piccadilly will issue you a $10 savings card, which is good towards any Piccadilly purchase made from January 1 through January 31, 2014.

Visit the Piccadilly website to check out all the great homestyle foods they have to offer.  And you can also connect with Piccadilly on their social network sites: like Piccadilly Restaurants on Facebook, and follow @EatPiccadilly on Twitter.

 

As you prepare for the holidays, you can keep your clothes and home clean with help from Arm & Hammer.  As an Arm & Hammer Influencer, I received a great package of products (pictured above) to help me with my fall and holiday cleaning.

I was very excited to try Arm & Hammer’s Ultra Power 4X Laundry Detergent.  Not only does it have a great scent and leave your clothes smelling and feeling fresh and clean, but it’s also super concentrated, so you don’t have to use a lot to get your clothes cleaned.

I also received some baking soda and a baking soda shaker bottle.  I was happy to get this, because I often use baking soda for cleaning in my kitchen and bathroom.  You can sprinkle a little in your sinks, and then scrub with a sponge or brush, and it will leave them clean and shiny, while also deodorizing.  And I’ve also used it to remove soap scum from the tub.

In the past, I’ve also used baking soda to remove tea stains from the kitchen counter.  I had a tea pitcher with a crack in it, and the tea leaked out and stained the counter.  None of my other cleaners would remove the stain, so I sprinkled a little baking soda on the stain and let it set for a few minutes, and then I scrubbed the stain away with a sponge.

 

 

As you may know, Baking Soda actually has a ton of other uses.  Here are just a few that I found in the book Household Uses for Baking Soda:

For cleaning:

• Sprinkle in your shoes to deodorize.  (Works great on wet sneakers!)
• Deodorize rugs and pet bedding.  Just sprinkle a little soda. Wait a few minutes, and then vacuum.
• Clean lawn and pool furniture.
• Clean door and window screens.
• Sprinkle in litter boxes to refresh and remove odors.
• Mix a quarter cup of baking soda with 1 quart of warm water to clean coffee makers and cups.

For health & beauty:

• Use baking soda as a foot soak!  Just add 3 tablespoons to a basin of warm water.
• Sprinkle a quarter size amount of baking soda in your palm, along with shampoo.  The baking soda will help remove residues that styling products leave behind.
• Dab on a little baking soda solution, to relieve razor burn.
• To treat sunburn, add 4 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water and apply to affected area.
