Freshwater Pearl Bracelet Giveaway!

*CONTEST CLOSED*
Do you know your cholesterol number? High cholesterol is one of the major controllable factors for coronary heart disease, which is the number one cause of death for women. A recent study conducted by Harris Interactive for Cheerios found that more than one-third of adults (37 percent) have not had their cholesterol checked within the past year.*

Those with limited access to adequate healthcare may not get regular cholesterol screenings and thus are at an even greater risk for heart disease.

Wondering how you can help? Now through January 31, 2010, for every code entered at www.cheerioshelpinghearts.com, Cheerios will donate $1, up to $200,000, to raise awareness for heart disease and provide free cholesterol screenings for women in need, through its partnership with WomenHeart. Codes will be featured inside specially marked boxes of Cheerios cereal.

My kids are crazy about Cheerios. And like many other things, they have their own special way of eating them. After filling their bowl high with cheerios and milk, they sprinkle it with cinnamon. A new trend? Maybe. Maybe not. ;)

I was excited to be able to spread the word about this great program, not only because I love Cheerios, but because of the fabulous giveaway involved!

Cheerios sent me a fabulous freshwater pearl bracelet with silver charm a few weeks ago. I was immediately struck by the quality of the bracelet. KitKat, my 12 year old, noticed too, and tried really hard to get me to agree to give it to her. Too bad she can't enter the contest here, because I get to give away THREE of these bracelets! Now you can show your dedication to raising awareness of women's heart health by wearing one of these bracelets, too.

Here's what you can do to win one of these bracelets: Visit Cheerios Helping Hearts and let me know one thing that you have learned about the importance of maintaining a healthy heart, or what YOU do to keep your heart healthy. You can also share something you like about the Cheerios Helping Hearts campaign.

Flirtbuttons Pendant Giveaway!

Have you heard of Flirtbuttons? I was lucky enough to find out about the Flirtbuttons Etsy shop in January, when I saw a review and giveaway on another blog. I instantly fell in love with the fun and unique items in her shop, and I was more than thrilled when I won this bracelet:


It's even cuter in person, and I love to wear it! One of the BEST, most amazing things about Flirtbuttons is their incredibly low prices. They are SO affordable! Go check out her store and see what I mean.

Here's another item that I have. One of Flirtbutton's many fashionable pocket mirrors:

The next item on my want list is this collection of magnets:

After having such a good experience with Flirtbuttons, I started chatting with the lady behind all of the fabulous creations. I even checked out her blog. She volunteered to giveaway this black bird pendant to one of my readers!! How awesome is that?
