Starting To Sell On Ebay

Hello all.  It has been a while since I have posted anything, but I'm going to try to post more often.  I just wanted to write this small post to say that I am now selling some products on eBay and will be adding more.  My user name is houseofdiva.  Please check it out and buy something!  : )  Here is the link to my items:  houseofdiva

Somethin' Sweet....

If you haven't had the chance to pick up one of the newer, Glade scents, then you should try to find the Somethin' Sweet (soft and fluffy cotton candy with a twist of fruit) scent.  It comes in a Fragrance Mist, 4 oz. candle, plug-ins and an automatic room spray.  It is part of the County Fair collection.  They also have Sparklin' Lemonade (a refreshing splash of fresh juicy citrus and a hint of mint) and Twirlin' Breeze (a breeze of summer fruit and wildflowers).

I really love the Somethin' Sweet scent.  It is absolutely delicious!  I smells exactly like cotton candy that you would get at the county fair!  It is soft and light, but it does smell wonderful.  I use the fragrance mist daily and my family enjoys it!  Try to get your hands on this one.  I know it came out maybe over a month ago, but I barely found it in one of my local Wal-Marts last week.

Fall has already arrived....

I am a huge Fall home fragrance fan, and I am happy to let you know that new Fall candles have surfaced on the Bath and Body Works website.  There are going to be a ton of candles for Fall, and they have already released some at test stores throughout the country and some of them are available online as of today (7/9/13) for $12 each.  I will share the pictures of some of the new Fall fragrances.  If you click on the picture, then it will take you to the page where you can order that scent.  Also, remember that retail stores are typically ahead a season or two.  So, if you see something you really must have, then you might want to purchase it within the next month or so.  I remember last year a lot of people were disappointed when they could not find their Fall favorites such as Leaves, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, and Pumpkin Cupcake to name a few because the store and the online site had already been sold out of them by the time it felt like Fall outside.  

 There are also some wallflowers in some of these scents and some other ones already on the site for those of you who like those.  Those of you who don't know what wallflowers are, they are like the Glade or Febreeze plugins.  You can check the site daily or weekly for new products.  I just type keywords in the search bar and see what comes up.  Also, to get all of the latest information about what is coming out, please visit the Facebook page and "Like" it.  Fans are always posting tons of information that even the sales associates do not know about.

Bath and Body Works SAS Coming to an End on 7-7-13

I just wanted to share some of my purchases during the Summer '13 Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale (SAS).  All of the anti-bacterial soaps were $3 or less.  The Secret Wonderland items were all 75% off.  The Fresh Picked hand cream was $2.  The Wallflower Bulbs were $3 each.  The Aruba Coconut items were all 75% off.  The Fresh Picked Tangerine body wash were $4 each.  The Men's Citron items were 75% off.  The Fresh Picked Hard Working Hand and Body Cream were $4 each.  The True Blue Spa items were 50% off.  I got one Aromatherapy Lemon Zest body wash for $6.50 (I'm hoping they will go 75% off within the next couple of days before the end of the sale).  I found 5 of the tall white pedestal candle holders at 50% off.  I also got 3 of the short white pedestal candle holders for 50% off.  The 4 oz candles were 50% off.  I was lucky enough to find them in Summertime Soda and Dulce.  I would have loved to find the 3-wicks in those scents.  I got one Pizzeria mini candle just to have.  In my opinion, it smells horrible!  All of the 3 wick candles that I purchased were $10 each (they are regularly $20 each).  I bought some other ones that my family is already burning.  The seahorse nail file was 50% off.  The double pack Wallflower bulbs in Apple Crumble was $6.  I purchased two room sprays in Mahogany Teakwood and Lavender Vanilla at $2.50 each (regularly $5).  The pocketbacs that I purchased were $.75 to $1 each. 

I did purchase some other items during the sale like a variety of other Wallflowers, 3-wick candles, and body care items that are already in use.  If you ask me, then this particular SAS was not as good as ones in the past.  I heard that they are going to extend the SAS and make it into a Summertime Sale.  There will be a new floorset on July 8th and there are a bunch of new items coming out.  I can't wait to try some of the new products especially the Fall items.  The Fall is my favorite time of year, so that is when I really go crazy with candles and other home fragrance items.  You can check out the following blog for more info on coming Fall items.  The blogs title is Sincerely Kelley XOXO.  The blog's site address is www.sincerelykelleyxoxo.com  or just click the picture below!

Bath and Body Works Semi Annual Sale Preview

The Bath and Body Works website is having an Exclusive Preview Sale Event.  This is a preview to the Semi Annual Sale which begins on June 12th in most areas.  I know some stores in Colorado have already started their Semi Annual Sale.  During this sale, you can find items that are discounted up to 75% off and sometimes 90% off.  Going to the website using this link will take you to $3 signature scents, $6 double pack wallflowers, current 50% off items which will more than likely go to 75% once the in store sale gets going on June 12, 2013 and many other sale items.  This is the time to stock up and make sure you use your coupons!

Redbook + L'Oreal Paris Happy Hour House Party package

I recently received my Redbook + L'Oreal Paris Happy Hour House Party package.  I was chosen to be a host of this party by HouseParty.com.  In order to be chosen to host a House Party, you basically have to agree that you will invite so many people to attend your party, share the contents of the party package with your guests, review the items, you agree to not sale any of the items in the package and lastly, you must take a group photo and share it on the House Party website. 

 

I had no idea that this party package would include so many great products.  It was actually shocking to see all of the great items.  (Disclaimer:  I received these items free of charge in exchange for my and my party guests reviews of the products.)

 

You can see all of the wonderful items that were included in the party package in the picture below.   

Looks pretty awesome, right?!  I will make cute gift bags with the items here and add some of my own products to make it even more fantastic.  I will do some sort of game to give the books, lip stain and eye shadows away since there are only a couple of each of those products.  Each guest also gets a free subscription to Redbook!  I personally love Redbook.  I think it is a great magazine that touches on family, food, finance, beauty, health and other topics. 

 

I will post more once I have the party.  My party will be on May 4th, and I am looking forward to it.  So, stay tuned for more pictures of my guests and I partying!  I'm sure it is going to be a fun one! 

Make Your Garden Grow

I was just chosen to participate in the PENNINGTON® SMART FEED™ SPRAYER SYSTEM BzzCampaign!  Thank you BzzAgent.com.  I can't wait to receive the sprayer system and the fertilizing tablets.  We have been working on our lawn and the shrubs, and this will only enhance it!  My husband also has some tomato plants that we can use this system on and hopefully, we have some good results.

 



As stated on the BzzAgent.com website, Pennington developed their reusable Smart Feed^™ Sprayer System; an easy, reliable way to apply fertilizer that delivers bigger, better results*. Simply attach the sprayer to your hose, load in a pre-measured Smart Feed^™ water-soluble fertilizer tablet and spray to release nutrients to your plants.  The Pennington® Smart Feed™ System delivers 100% of its nutrients in roughly 10 minutes.  That’s half the time and half the water needed for competing products!  We love products that are made for simplicity, and this seems like it will be pretty simple to use!  

I will be taking pictures of our yard, shrubs and plants so that we can have before and after photos.  Once I do take the before pictures, I will post them.  After using the product, I will post after pictures.  I'm excited to give this a try.  

The products are provided by BzzAgent for free in exchange for feedback and spreading the word about this product to friends, family, co-workers and anyone who will listen!
