Vault Denim's, Tour de Vault!

I can hardly wait to attend. I just know that I'm going to meet some amazing people and learn a lot more about the company. It is exciting! Not to mention I get to see family while I'm there.

I just started with Vault Denim the end of February and am so thankful that I did! It has been an amazing experience so far.

One thing that drew me to Vault Denim was that as a Vault Fashion Consultant I'm able to decide when I can and can't work. I get to be my own boss. I like that because I have 2 small children, another home based business and we're getting ready to move out of state to a place that I don't know many people.

The biggest decision maker for me to join was that I didn't have to have an inventory, no monthly auto-ship. That in itself was the biggest green light of them all. An added bonus is that they give you your website and back office FREE.

I hosted my first party. I had an open house at my home. I was able to have my children home with me. My husband was here with one of our mutual friends and we had a yard sale that day too. I did all of that AND I was "working" while getting to chat with all my friends that came to look at jeans. How great is that?!

One thing that I liked with hosting the open house was that I was able to take advantage of the hostess rewards from the party. I got a $62.00 pair of jeans for just $25!!! Oh, I should add that they are authentic designer jeans!! I was able to do this with the hostess rewards I earned from my guests purchasing jeans for themselves.

Here is a video on what you get in your Vault Denim business kit.

If you're interested in more information on becoming a Vault Fashion Consultant for Vault Denim let me know. There are several Tour De Vault's around the United States and I'm sure there is one close to you. You don't have to have me there with you, but I do need to pass along your information so that the host of the event can fill you in on everything as I won't be there to do so. They're scheduled for roughly an hour!

Crowd Tap

Have you heard of Crowd Tap??

I just signed up for it today.

If you like getting free things, I urge you to sign up too! If you're interested in getting to test products, you won't have a chance if you don't sign up.

One thing that I like about this company is that they allow you to earn donations for charity! You get to choose which charity you would like to support. Isn't that great?!

I just signed up like 5 minutes ago and am already just 250 points shy of 1,000.

Italian Soda

Ever go to the coffee shop, such as Dutch Bros., Starbucks or any other shop? Have you ever purchased an Italian soda?

One thing that my husband and I do is get a $20 gift card to Dutch Bros. Reason being is that with getting the gift card you get a FREE drink, doesn't matter what it is, the size or the cost. We then use that $20 to occasionally get the happy hour special at our local Dutch Bros. (any cold medium drink for $2.50)

Some times I have our daughter with us and at which point she will ask for an Italian soda. She used to ask for smoothies, but decided one day she wanted an Italian soda and has stuck with that since.

Yesterday we were out and about getting some items for dinner and as we are close to the coffee shop she asks, "Are we stopping to get a coffee? I want an Italian soda please?!". I informed her we weren't because the happy hour specials are only Monday through Friday and from 1-4pm.

It got me thinking... I wonder if Walmart has the necessary items to make them at home? It was our next stop and I wasn't about to turn around and go ALL the way across town.

So, I told her that if Walmart did in fact have everything needed to make the Italian soda we could make one at home for her and buddy (her brother). She happily said, "Ok, mom.".

Wouldn't you know, Walmart DID have everything we needed to make them. Adalynn chose to get the vanilla flavored syrup as she wanted a vanilla flavored Italian soda.

Here are some photos to show the delicious Italian soda made by myself... they're so good that my husband had TWO last night, yes, the guy that doesn't like sweets. HAHA


So what we have here is Torani Vanilla flavored syrup, Darigold Half & Half and Mixer Club Soda. I chose those because that is what Walmart had and was more affordable than the other options. The Vanilla flavored syrup was because that's what my daughter wanted. 

I just used the fridge to get a few ice cubes in a glass

Next, I poured the club soda into the glass. It just so happen that what is in the glass is all that was left in the plastic bottle. 

 I took the Half & Half and simply poured it into the mix of the ice cubes and club soda. Not a lot, just enough that I thought it was good!

Then with the remaining room left in the glass I filled it almost to the top with the vanilla flavored syrup. No exact measuring/math was used for this. I did however, use a stir stick to mix once done and did a taste test before giving it to the kids. 

Once I was done and the taste test was finished. I scooped out an even amount of the ice cubes and placed them into the sippy cup for each of my children. I then poured the same amount in each of their cups. Of course it took me more time to make it (which wasn't a lot in my opinion) than it took for them to devour it!

Anyway, I'm sure you're wondering who won the blanket... So, I guess I'll go ahead and share. Remember if you're the winner, you have 48 hours to contact me. I will need your mailing address of course so I can get the adorable blanket on its way to you.





CONGRATULATIONS TO Joline W.

Green Mountain Coffee

I love FREE things, don't you?! I mean what's not to love??

Anyway, I found out a couple weeks ago that Green Mountain Coffee was giving away samples of hot chocolate. Of course I had to check it out for myself.

So I headed over to their Facebook page and sure enough they were. They gave out 12 K-cups of the Cafe Escapes, Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa.

Yes, that's right, each person that signed up before they met their limit, which I think was like 5,000, each got a box of 12 K-cups for the Keurig.

Well, today I checked my mail box and there was a key which meant there was a package that didn't fit in the box. I've been expecting my shipment from work so I figured that's what it was.

To my surprise though, it was from Green Mountain Coffee. Now, I just have to wait until this weekend when my mom comes over with our Keurig to taste it! HAHA

So mom, if you read this, not even a snow storm can keep you away, I need that Keurig!

Also, to Green Mountain Coffee, thank you for being so generous. Not only for giving out samples but for giving out 12 to each person that was fortunate enough to sign up for them!


What the box they were shipped in looked like.

January GIVEAWAY

I apologize for being a day late on getting this posted for everyone. I was busier this last weekend than I had anticipated I would be.

I had a wrap party for Wrap and Lose on Thursday. I set up for the wedding show on Friday for Your Wedding Day Your Way and Wrap and Lose. Saturday was the wedding show which was amazing, there were a lot of brides and I had a great time hanging out with Laurie of  Laurie Landers, Vacation Travel Specialist and Stacy of         Stacy Chapin Thirty-One Independent Consultant.

Anyway, I know you all are waiting to find out what this month's giveaway is so without any further distraction, here it is...

This is a nice little comfort blanket that your little one can easily take with them any where they'd like to go.

This particular blanket is approximately 18"x18" and sells for $14.00 from Honie's Little Shop. Made from a soft flannel material it is a forest green on the back with assorted colors and dinosaurs on the front.

In order to be eligible to win you must do the following:

FREE lip gloss

Thank you to Raining Hot Coupons for sharing, I can't wait to get mine in the mail.

While I had to refresh too many times to count, I finally got through!

Just go to this site http://www.perfectlyposh.com/sample-ksl.html

Click start and fill in your information.

You may get a 503 ERROR code, I did, a lot! Just keep going back.

I would open the link in a new tab, it seemed to help as "refreshing" would make the site just go away completely.

If you for some reason can't see all the photos that show up at the end or the text, there is one photo that says "return to the home page", that means you made it!

Let me know if you were able to snag one!
