Peet’s Coffee Single Cups (and My Cats!) #GiveACup

I’m very excited today to be partnering up with Peet’s Coffee for their Give a Cup Campaign.

Peet’s is currently launching their new Single Cups. Anyone who drinks Peet’s coffee knows how uncompromising they are when it comes to flavor, and they have taken 5 years create the perfect blend for their single cups, using more coffee than most, designing a specific dose for each blend, and using a different kind of filter than allows more flavor to pass into the cup.
To celebrate this journey, they are launching Give A Cup, the Internet’s very first social sampling experiment.
Here’s how it works. Each week you can go to doyougiveacup.com and vote on a topic. The topics are fun, current and sometimes a bit quirky. (So far I’ve seen questions about Zombies and Hotdog Eating Contests.) Your votes determine where Peet’s Coffee will host their sampling events each week. [Read more…]

Designing Business Cards for Your Blog
June 26, 2013 4 Comments
As a blogger and Etsy shop owner one thing I’ve learned about is branding. It’s important to have a unique banner/logo at the top of your blog to help you stand out. Hire an expert in logo making like Studio 60 Design Adelaide. And you, of course, want to use matching elements or colors throughout your website to create a cohesive look. Furthermore, it is important to use your logo and/or head shot and other matching thematic elements on your social media accounts. But what about print media, such as business cards?
How do you take the elements from your website and use them to create a business card or a printed media kit? The easiest thing to do would be to hand your elements over to a designer and have them fashion a card for you. Some web designers even include a card design in with your blog design package.

White Cloud Tissue Review
June 13, 2013 Leave a Comment
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of White Cloud for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
New White Cloud Luxuriously Soft Bath Tissue captures the softness of the clouds to make a new bath tissue that is above all leading brands in the category.
What sets White Cloud apart? For one thing, their tissue is made using an innovative manufacturing technology called “TAD.” TAD, or “Through Air Dried,” is super-premium technology in the bath tissue world. It uses a special machine to blow air through single-ply sheets, creating a two-ply product with amazing thickness, softness, strength and absorption.
I recently received a sample of White Cloud Bath Tissue and was mostly pleased with the product. It has a nice and unique packaging, making it easy for me to find in the store. And it cost less than other premium brands, which is a real plus.
The rolls are about the same size as the brands that I have used in the bath, but I do believe the rolls will last longer as the thicker, stronger, and more absorbent sheets, allow you to use less.
But despite the extra strength and thickness, it still has a nice cloud texture which is very cute, and the tissue feels soft and gentle to the touch. I think you should be able to swap out your usual brand and try out White Cloud, without your family noticing the change.
Check out this brief video for more of my thoughts on White Cloud Bath Tissue:
