Win Pantinas Earrings from SayHelloDiamonds

I may like to sparkle like a socialite but my clothing and jewelry budget are far, far away from that of a socialite. I love being able to choose from a full jewelry box when I put my look together but like most women, I can't afford to spend thousands or even hundreds of dollars on my jewelry. That doesn't mean I'm giving it up though! I just need to be aware of what I'm spending on my accessories and try to get the most bang for what I have to spend.

SayHelloDiamond is the leading source for gorgeous bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces. Now I can sparkle without breaking the bank. The secret to their beauty is the nano-crystalline process used to create them.  SayHelloDiamonds are not in fact real diamonds but a replica of a diamond but every single diamond product is backed by their 100% no questions asked Lifetime Warranty.

After being featured on The Today Show, they sold over 15,000 pairs of earrings in just two days! SayHelloDiamonds offers earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. I received a gorgeous Olivia diamond necklace for Sarah to add to her jewelry box. This is a 2 CT TW diamond product on an 18" sterling silver chain. I love the way this necklace looks. There is no way I could look at it and know that it wasn't a real diamond.  I'm so glad that she has something gorgeous to wear the next time she gets dressed up.

Use the code DIAMOND40 to save 40% off your next order! One of my lucky winners will win these beautiful Pantinas Earrings. Here's what you can do for a chance to win:

Prom Dresses & Formal Gowns

Prom is one of the most magical times of a teenager's high school life - at least it was mine. Not only did I have the most amazing time, I got to dress up as a princess in a beautiful prom dress. It was so much fun trying on a bunch of different prom dresses until I found the one that I fell in love with. It's been quite a while since I attended the prom but I won't tell you how long.  Needless to say when my daughter attended her prom last year, I was quite surprised to see how many different types of prom dresses there really are right now.

Sarah had a specific idea of what type of dress she wanted to wear to her prom. We had a very difficult time finding exactly what she was looking for in the color and size she wanted. I wish I had known about Promgirl.net then. It would have saved me hours of driving from store to store searching for something we couldn't find.  Promgirl.net has a large variety of prom dresses including formal gowns, cocktail dresses, formal dresses and short prom dresses. I was very impressed to find both soft and feminine type dresses and some more sophisticated dresses as well.

I'm a big fan of the long, romantic dresses myself.  Sarah has always preferred a more sophisticated style when she chose a prom dress.  She generally chooses black, navy or a deep red instead of the softer colors I would have chosen.  Thankfully, whether you want a long, flowing, pink gown or are looking for short prom dresses instead, you can definitely find something you like at Promgirl.net.

I found a great selection of gowns in a wide variety of sizes at very reasonable prices.  They have a whole section of dresses that are under $100 for those who are on a tight budget along with a sale section. They also have a selection of plus sized dresses.  They even have shoes!

SinfulColors available at Walgreens

It's been a while since I did a nail polish post and I definitely decided it was time to do one again. I received the SinfulColors holiday 2011 collection that includes five gem inspired shades of polish:

Sugar Sugar - a candy cane, red-hot tint
Midnight Blue - a bold, bright twist on navy
Last Chance - an emerald with depth and allure
Daddy's Girl - a deep purple with a drizzle of shimmer and glitter
Out of this World - a perfect silver with swirls of glimmer

It also includes two metallic shades of nail art for those of you who are skilled at decorating your nails:

Flower Girl - a bronzy gold with tons of sparkle
Fashionista - a glitter laden pewter

SinfulColors has more than 150 amazing shades of nail polish at only $1.99 a bottle! You can find them at a variety of major drug and mass market stores including Amazon and Walgreens.  I decided my toenails needed some serious glam so I decided to use Sugar Sugar on my nails. Love it!

Love it! What's your favorite color?

Win a pair of Leggings from Lysse Leggings #blogpop

While I generally wear jeans, there are days I want something a little different. To me, jeans are generally super, casual and at times if I am having a day out with the girls or catching lunch with my Mom in the city, I want to dress up a bit. Just because I want to dress up a bit doesn't mean I want to be uncomfortable. I am not one of those women who is going to totter around on five inch heals sucking in my stomach while my waist band does permanent injury to my skin.

I love the freedom of wearing leggings.  A pair of leggings along with boots and a comfy top can be a fantastic took that is also comfortable.  Unfortunately, you really have to be careful what leggings you purchase. I've seen some that really feel more like tights and lack any support at all. Now that may be fantastic if you're 22. However, if you're 45, support is something you need!

I received a pair of tight ankle leggings from Lysse Leggings. Lysse Leggings offer revolutionary tummy support that eliminates that annoying tummy roll that happens with some leggings. A tummy roll is NOT an attractive look in the slightest. Their tummy support helps to flatten your stomach and smooth your hips while providing a four way stretch that is very comfortable.

Lysse Leggings offers a variety of different styles of leggings including the tight ankle, wide cut, palazzo pants, boot cut, capri and cropped leggings.  They even have skirts, tanks, and dresses that offer this same control. The leggings I received are available in black, grey, brown and moss colors in sizes ranging from small to 3X.

I cannot believe how gorgeous these leggings are!  They are nice and thick and offer fantastic support.  They are tagless which is a huge plus for me since the tag in the back annoys the heavens out of me. The tummy control panel is not at all obvious that that's what it is. No one is going to look at you and realize that you are wearing leggings with support.  They are going to think all that awesome style is you :)

One of my lucky readers is going to win a pair of Lysse Leggings in their size. Here's what you can do for a chance to win:

Save with Walgreens Prescription Savings Club

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Walgreens has been negotiating with Express Scripts for a new contract to continue to be part of their pharmacy network.  After some negotiating time, they have been unable to come to an agreement on a new contract. As of January 1, 2012, Walgreens Pharmacy will not longer be a part of the Express Scripts Program.  This includes all Walgreens Pharmacies and Duane Reade Pharmacies in New York City.

Patience who previously went to Walgreens as part of the Express Scripts Program will be forced to drive further to find a participating pharmacy. Only patients with specific Express Scripts coverage will find themselves impacted by this change.  Walgreens is offering a special discount on annual membership for its Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. For $10 a year, you can purchase a family membership that will cover everyone in your immediate family.  That includes your spouse, all of your dependents that are aged twenty two and younger and even your pets!

You can learn  more about Walgreens and Express Script. Support Walgreens and stay updated by liking   Walgreens on Twitter and   Walgreens on Facebook.
