Southern Blog Society

Just last week, I found out about Southern Blog Society. Found here online and here on FB.  You may have noticed the new oversized button for it on my blog. (I'm working on re-sizing the picture).

I applied to join and was accepted so now I'm a member of the Souther Blog Society myself! It's kind of fun because it's a little group to belong to here in this big blog world!

Directly from their site, here's a little more info! 

The Southern Blog Society (SBS) aims to create an inclusive online community for lifestyle bloggers across the Southeastern United States. This community will be a resource for lifestyle bloggers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The SBS aspires to create a community that transcends state lines and gives food, fashion, and other miscellaneous lifestyle bloggers the tools necessary to succeed in the blogosphere today.

Primary Goals 

• Promote bloggers within the community, help build traffic to individual sites.
• Supply the resources necessary for blogging success, including but not limited to – graphic designer, developer, and photographer recommendations, “how-to” tips that cover issues faced as the owner of a blog/small business, and a service that matches companies wishing to advertise with bloggers.
• Provide genuine community for members, build a space in which members want to interact socially with one another – both online and off.
• Create a place for brands to come to for a list of bloggers that they could potentially work with based on their location, brand and audience.

I'm excited to be a part! 

Glade Bzz Agent Review

I was contacted by Bzz Agent about a Glade Expressions Campaign that they were completing and I was chosen to participate. I received coupons in the mail for a free Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser and a free Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist. I was so excited to check them out.

As you know, I am a Scentsy Consultant but that doesn't mean I can't check out other products and tell you about them too! 

Here are the two diffusers we chose (The second one was purchased using an "amount off" coupon)

We picked Lavender and Juniper Berry

  

& Pineapple and Mangosteen 

We both are really liking both of them. I put the Lavender and Juniper Berry one in the living room and I placed the Pineapple and Mangosteen one in the Kitchen. They smell delightful, aren't over-powering and have served us well thus far. ;-)

We also got the Glade Expressions Fragrance mist in both Fuji Apple and Cardamom Spice & Cotton and Italian Mandarin. These are in our bathroom and have been used a few times. The scents are wonderful. Hubs like the Fuji Apple the best. 

These are both great products which I will definitely purchase again and I'm grateful for the chance to review them! 

**Bloggers, I have a few coupons that I'd love to give to a few of you. First three people to contact me, I'll send you one for the product of your choice!**

**Opinions are my own but I received these products free of charge from Bzz Agent and Glade. Thanks!!**

Wreaths I've recently Made

In an effort to make some of our dreams come true, I've been working on growing my Etsy business. Right now, I'm working on wreaths. I have made several Fabric Scrap Wreaths which you can see here and I am working on several yarn wreaths to list this weekend. We are also working on something that we are excited about and hope to figure out and get listed soon. Here are my latest creations. Visit our Etsy shop via the link above to look at them more and purchase if you so desire.

Sunrise in Charleston

One of our goals on our 101 in 1001 list was "To watch a sunrise and photograph it". We spontaneously decided to do that in Charleston while we were there. It was a bit overcast but it was still wonderful. Here are the pictures my amazing photographer husband took! 

Charleston Anniversary Trip

We made a trip to Charleston for our 2nd Anniversary.  We had a blast. 

We ate lunch at Hymans. Grabbed dessert and coffee/hot chocolate at a local place. Walked around town. Enjoyed a quiet night in the hotel. Watched the Sunrise  on the Water. Ate breakfast at Caviar and Bananas. Walked around the market. Ate lunch at Fuel and headed home. Such a good time. 

Here is picture overload from the trip.
