Creating a Stylized Outdoor Space Part 4 #Digin

Barnsley

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot.

This week I am wrapping up my post series on creating a stylized outdoor space.  I have to be honest, before starting this series,I had always primarily focused on the patterns and colors of cushions and throw pillows when it came to furniture, but as I’ve looked over all the products available in store at The Home Depot and seen the ideas and tips they have  on their The Garden Club site, I’ve really gotten inspired and learned that there is so much more to outdoor living design.

Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Sandwich and Giveaway

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

 

I love Arby's Roast Beef!  And I love King's Hawaiian bread!  Wouldn't it be great if we could combine the two! For a limited time, we can! Arby's recently announced a twist on the classic sandwich that everyone loves.  They are partnering with King's Hawaiian to add two sandwiches to their delicious menu. 

The two sandwiches are the Arby’s KING’S HAWAIIAN roast beef sandwich and Arby’s KING’S HAWAIIAN Roast Beef & Swiss sandwich.

The Arby’s KING’S HAWAIIAN Roast Beef sandwich comes with an extra helping of freshly sliced roast beef, piled high on a soft and slightly sweet KING’S HAWAIIAN bun.

And Arby’s KING’S HAWAIIAN Roast Beef & Swiss sandwich has the same extra helping of roast beef and KING’S HAWAIIAN bun, topped with Swiss cheese, crunchy pickles and creamy Dijon spread.

Head to Arby's this weekend and try one! I can't wait to try the King's Hawaiian Roast Beef & Swiss!

Also, to celebrate these limited time additions to the menu, Arby's is excited to offer you a fun contest: the Arby’s Hawaiian Getaway Sweepstakes! You have until May 26 to enter.

Creating a Stylized Outdoor Space – Part 3 #Digin

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot.

This month I’ve been sharing a series of outdoor living posts on Creating a Stylized Outdoor space with help from our friends at The Home Depot and The Home Depot Garden Club.  We could sit and discuss style tips all day, but nothing is as great as going right to the experts!

In store, you can see all the great outdoor living furniture they have to offer and speak to their store associates about the furniture types, materials, and styles they have available.  Alternatively to can shop online:

furniture design

On The Home Depot website you can design your outdoor living room by choosing from 10 different frame options available and 9 different cushion colors.  Then order your furniture directly from their site or just browse for ideas online and actually purchase your furniture in store.

Create Your Own Collection

Their collections are lovely and include everything from dining tables, chairs, loveseats, side tables, ottomans, and chaise loungers.  After browsing through their collections, I’ve found three that I would really love for my own back deck and will highlight for you today. [Read more…]

Steps to Natural Beauty with Tree Hut #NaturalBeauty

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

 


 photo treehutfoot-GoogleSearch_zpsdd84afd4.jpg

With summer fast approaching, skin care couldn't be more important.  You can focus on your natural beauty with bath and body products from Tree Hut  They are developed using organic shea butter and natural oils and extracts to keep your skin feeling soft, smooth and healthy.  The products are made in the U.S.A. and  include Shea Body Butters, Shea Extra-Rich Moisturizing Lotion, Shea Moisturizing Shower Wash, and Shea Sugar Body Scrubs.

Tree Hut foot cream is made from certified organic shea butter.  It is a non-greasy formula that is paraben free and is made with argan oil and rose hip oil, which both have anti-aging properties.

The Hand Cream is also made with Certified Organic Shea Butter to repair and moisturize skin, and it also contains aloe vera and peppermint oil.
 

And their foot scrub is made with shea butter and peppermint oil and includes Real Sugar to naturally exfoliate the skin.

Of the products, I'd most like to try the scrubs and lotions. I love to exfoliate my skin and smooth it over with lotion.  I also love the way it smells on your skin.  Tree Hut has several scents available.  They include:

  • Almond & Honey
  • Amazon Pequi
  • Brazilian Nut
  • Coconut Lime
  • Hawaiian Kukui
  • Lavender & Chamomile
  • Original Shea Tropical Mango

Of these, I'd most like to try the Coconut Lime and the Almond & Honey.  Coconut Lime has a great tropical, summer apeal, and it also smells really sweet and clean.  And then I think Almond & Honey have a sweet, but also sort a natural and pleasant smell.

Tree Hut products are available for purchase at Walmart stores nationwide.  Look for them in a location near you.

What's your natural beauty style?  For part of this post, I was asked to create a style board featuring some items that showcase my idea of natural beauty for the spring and summer.  For me, I enjoy light colors and also flight fabrics.  Currently I'm really liking the feminine lace dresses, so I selected one of those, along with a sweet handbag, shoes, sunglasses, perfume, and of course a dainty necklace!

Creating a Stylized Outdoor Space – Part 2 #Digin

 

Stylized Outdoor SpaceThis is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot.

It’s time to #digin to part 2 of our series on Creating a Stylized Outdoor Space!  This week we will be talking about the things that people should take into account when determining what furniture best fits their lifestyle, and we will talk about how and why different sets work better in different outdoor living spaces.

When buying outdoor furniture, there’s a lot to think about.  Obviously you should think about what kind of space you have.  Is the furniture for a deck? A gazebo? The yard?  You should also think about what kind of environment the furniture will be in.  Will it be exposed to rain or covered?  What kind of sun exposure will it have?And of course, you want to think about what you will be using the space for.
