Self-Love Giveaway

Valentine's Day maybe over, but Self-Love is everyday!

Have I ever told you how much I love blogging?  I started this blog 5 years ago, because I wanted to share some of my favorite things and explore new things too! 

But last year I did not blog very much at all, because I have been leading a double life...

In my other life, I am a Body Love + Pleasure Advocate. I spend my days helping women to enjoy, explore, and hear the wisdom of their own bodies.

I work with mothers, wives, and sisters who struggle to love and accept their bodies. Women who feel uncomfortable in their own skin. Women who do not like the woman they meet in the mirror each morning. Women who often feel dissatisfied, disconnected, and disinterested in life, in their relationships,  and in themselves. 

My work is about having shame-free conversations about subjects that should be shameless. And I am committed to doing this work, because I want every woman to love herself, love her body, and love her life. 

Through this work, I am living my purpose.

In honor of the month of love, I curated a list of my favorite self-love goodies. This list is comprised of the sights, tastes, sounds, scents, and textures that light me up, slow me down, and help me to feel like my best self. 

Check out the full list here

And in an effort to mix my two lives together, just a little bit, I am giving away a Self-Love Gift Pack to one lucky reader!

The winner will have her choice of one (1) the following gift packs:

Self-Love Sensuality Gift Pack 

- (1) Tokyo Milk Lip Balm

- (1) Rose Water Spray

- (1) Personal Scalp Massager

- (1) Sex for One by Betty Dodson (paperback)
- (1) Free Pleasure Permission Slip Coaching Session 

Self-Love Tea Time Gift Pack

- (1) Personal Tea Pot

- (1) Zhena's Sleep Calm Me Tea
- (1) Free Pleasure Permission Slip Coaching Session 

Enter today... good luck!

Covered Perfectly - clothing review + giveaway

I received a free garment from Covered Perfectly.
All views expressed are the honest opinion of Just Say I Told You So.

As a full-figured 40-something woman, I am the first to admit that being fashionable is not as easy as it used to be. So when I find something cute and comfortable to wear I want to shout it from the rooftops! 

Covered Perfectly is a company run by Pauline Durban. Pauline's mission is to provide clothing for the 40+ woman, that is appealing and flattering. After all, every woman deserves to look and feel beautiful. And Pauline has hit the nail directly on the head!

This purple off-the-shoulder blouse has quickly become one of my favorite items of clothing:

This is not just another cute blouse. It's exceptionally well made. I have washed it a whole-lotta times and the color hasn't faded, not even a little bit. The fabric soft and durable. This is high quality my friends. And I get soooo many compliments on it every time I wear it!

And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fact that Pauline also provides excellent customer service. She so personable + polite and she always responds. She's one classy lady! ❤︎

Because I am enjoying my blouse so much and because I think it's important to support women who are making shift happen....

Can you tell I love my bedroom???

So I've got a new favorite brand... Lush Decor! Yes, they sell more than bedding, but the bedding is what caught my eye - first.

Gorgeous romantic comforters + pillows. Eye-popping quilts with beautiful patterns and fabulous colors! 

I feel like I've died and gone to bedding heaven! LOL

Holiday essentials from Vons + Gift card #giveaway! #Sponsored

This is not a paid post. I received a free basket of baking essentials + a gift card from Vons.
All views express are the honest opinion of Just Say I Told You So.

I love baking! I enjoy it throughout the year, but I especially love baking during the holiday season. There is something about the smell of fresh baked anything that just lights me up!

This year I did my holiday baking shopping at Vons. Vons has everything that I need to bake up some delicious goodness! 

Although I haven't quite settled on the final baking menu, I know for sure that I'll be making a Sweet Potato Cake, Gingerbread Cookies, 7-up Cake... and a few other mouthwatering goodies. 

And even though I'm very tempted to have a dessert only holiday, I will also be making some savory items as well.. and something green of course! But that's why I love Vons, they have everything I need to make a complete (well-balanced) meal, all year long. And they have a pretty good selection of organic items as well, which is impressive. 

Are you ready for the smell of holiday deliciousness to waft through your house?

My Ultimate Oroweat Organic Bread Sandwich + Giveaway

I received coupons for free Oroweat Organic Bread to aid in the facilitation of this review.
All views expressed are the honest opinion of Just Say I Told You So.

As a child I loved bread more than anything else. I loved eating it toasted and plain, with peanut butter or without, as a snack or an unofficial meal. I just really, really, loved bread! And while my love for bread has never gone away, I am a lot more conscious about the kind of bread I choose (although I still indulge on the not-so-good stuff on occasion). 

I recently had the pleasure of trying out Oroweat Organic Bread and I really like it! I have always enjoyed the taste and texture of their breads, but the Oroweat Organic Grains and Seeds bread is amazing!

I don't know if you've ever noticed, but sometimes organic breads come in smaller loaves, as in the width of the bread if considerably smaller than standard size. But not Oroweat Organic Bread, they give you a full-sized slice.... which makes it perfect for creating the Ultimate Sandwich!

So I was pondering what kind of deliciousness I could come up with that would give this bread its do, and I came up with this:

The Bee's Knees Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients:
2 slices of Oroweat Organic Grains and Seeds bread
Butter (room temperature for spreading)
Grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg (scrambled omelet style)
1 slice of provolone cheese
2 slices of tomato 
3 Red onion rings (raw)
1/2 avocado
Spinach
Mustard

Supplies: Baking sheet, omelet pan, and aluminum foil.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.

Place a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet.

Take two slices of Oroweat Organic Grains and Seeds bread, spread one side with butter (cover the entire slice). Place grated parmesan in a shallow plate or saucer (large enough to fit the entire slice of bread). 

Press the bread (butter side down) into the parmesan until the entire surface is covered. Place onto a baking sheet, parmesan side down. 

Repeat process with second slice.

Now that both pieces of bread are on the baking sheet. Butter the topside of the bread lightly. Place in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.

While the bread is baking, prepare your egg. Beat the egg until thoroughly blended. Add salt + pepper (at your discretion). Pour egg mixture into heated omelet skillet. Flip the egg once it has cooked to your desire. Fold. Add a slice of provolone to the top once the omelet is cooked to your liking.

Remove bread from oven. Allow to completely cool (if you take it off right away the parmesan will stick to the aluminum foil). 

Once cooled, spread mustard on the cheese-free side of the bread. Add spinach, tomatoes, onions, omelet, and avocado. Top with second slice of bread. 

Voilà! Breakfast is served...

This sandwich was much more delicious than I imagined it would be! 

Would you like to to make your own Ultimate Oroweat Organic Bread Sandwich? Of course you would... that's why I'm giving away coupons for a free loaf + a $25 Visa gift card  to one lucky winner.

Good luck!

Nescafe Dolce Gusto review + giveaway #Sponsored

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central for NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto, and received a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All views expressed are the honest opinion of Just Say I Told You So.

I don't quite remember when I first fell in love with coffee, but I am smitten. There is nothing like the smell of fresh brewed joe wafting through the air. And the taste... Ah! The taste of coffee is just... well, delicious!

Of course now that we are living in the age of the swanky coffeehouse, I don't brew coffee at home as much as I used to. That is until I received a Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee machine!

The Nescafe Dolce Gusto is a single-serve coffee machine that brews up coffeehouse worthy beverages in less than one minute (yes, it really is that fast). 

What's better than a delicious frothy cup of coffee? Enjoying a delicious frothy cup of coffee in the comfort of my own home, with no muss and no fuss. My mornings are busy enough already, the Nescafe Dolce Gusto takes one more thing off my already filled-to-the-brim morning routine.

The Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine comes in several different styles and colors, to suit your taste and lifestyle. And there are 19 different hot and cold beverage varieties to choose from, that means you can change it up, if diversity is your flavor of choice. 

This is my first venture into the realm of the coffee machine and I'm pretty impressed with how easy (+ quick) it is to make a cup. And since there are so many flavor choices (including decafe and non-coffee options), I can have a hot or cold beverage anytime of the day! 

Look how easy it is to use:




The clean-up is almost non-existent too. No coffee grounds all over the place. No separate milk-frothing pot. Just a coffee pod (or two depending on the beverage), water, cup, and a button to push. Can you say easy?

Because I adore my readers so very much and I want you to have the opportunity to step up your home coffee game too... so I'll be giving away a Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine to one lucky winner!


a Rafflecopter giveaway

The Nescafe Dolce Gusto is now available at Target.com. Be sure to visit the Nescafe Dolce Gusto website and follow on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, and YouTube.

Harvest Snaps Review + Giveaway

This post was created in partnership with Harvest Snaps. I have been compensated for this post. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Who doesn't love a good snack? I know I do! But now that I am older, I'm a bit more selective about the stuff I eat. And I don't know about you, but finding healthy snacks that actually taste good is not as easy as it sounds. Which is why I'm so excited about Harvest Snaps.

Harvest Snaps are a healthy alternative to chips. There are two types of snaps... Snapea Crisps and Lentil Snaps.  

Snapea Crisps are made from all-natural peas, 70% worth, and the Lentil Snaps are 65% real lentils. Both include the following good-for-you-stuff:

• Calcium
• Iron
• Vitamin B
• Folate 
• Potassium
• Dietary Fiber

Did I mention that they're also gluten-free? And if the fact that these little snaps are good for you isn't enough... they're delicious too! I mean it's pretty difficult not to devour an entire bag in one sitting!

Snapea Crisps and Lentil Snaps come in a variety of flavors, Tomato Basil is my favorite :-)

Giveaway Alert

Win: I'm giving away a six-pack of Harvest Snaps to one lucky winner.

Mandatory Entry: Visit the Lunchspiration site and create your very own Bento Box. You must include your bento box link in the comments, along with your name and email address.

Winner will be chosen at random and contacted via email. The winner will have 24 hours to respond or another winner will be selected. Giveaway ends at 11:59pm PST on 9/7/14.
