My GE Reveal Bulb Experience

I got to experience the benefits of the GE Reveal Bulbs for myself in the past few days.  Perhaps you were able to hop onto my GE Reveal Bulb and Target Gift Card Giveaway a few weeks ago.  If you remember (or if you just jumped over to check it out), they were able to change the feel of the room with just a simple change of their light bulbs.

I have to admit I was a little skeptical that there could be a change without spending an arm and a leg - and we all know, unless you have had a big windfall (like winning the lottery)  nobody I know, including me has any extra money sitting around waiting to be spent on redecorating!

I thought I would do something a little different to test this bulb.  Here is the family "reading" chair in the middle of the day when the room is "flooded" with natural light.  It's also the TV chair and the comfy recliner that has put more people to sleep, it does look soft and comfy doesn't it?  .. but that's another story.

Here is a picture of that same chair in the late afternoon / early evening with a 60 watt soft white bulb.  Does it seem like the chair is sitting in a "hazy" living room?

And here we have that same chair with a 100 watt soft white bulb.  As you can see the chair itself is lit up more, but I think it is a much harsher light.  Now most of my lights have either 60 or 100 watt bulbs installed.  I've also never really "compared" the two bulbs in a given lamp, but it is kind of shocking to me, to see how "dull" or "harsh" the bulbs seem to make the area being lit.

And here is that same chair with the Reveal Bulb that I was provided with for this review.

The area that is lit up with this bulb, without appearing to be harshly lit is much larger than either the 60 or 100 watt bulbs.  I am thinking that this will make a great (ok greater) reading chair because the lighting will be easier on the eyes.

I also like that the bulb, although equivalent to a 75W incandescent bulb it only uses 53W (less than the 60 watt bulb I usually use in lamps).  It uses 28% LESS energy to give a cleaner light.  I am sold.  I will be looking for more of these bulbs for sure when I need to replace "blown out" bulbs (you know that never ending saga??).

If you are interested in checking these GE Reveal Bulbs out - and personally I think you DEFINITELY should, check out the Target’s Cartwheel app and get 25% off GE reveal® light bulbs.  Just search “GE reveal” to find it. This offer expires 2/28.
You can Download the Target Cartwheel app on your IOS or Android.  I know I will be checking mine every time I'm looking for something that Target carries (which seems to be everything right?)

I was provided with a FREE box of 4 Reveal Bulbs for my review, but the opinions stated here are mine alone, and not effected by the product provided.

Why Attitude Counts

I saw this one on a friends Facebook page.  I'm not sure where she got it , but I like it and wanted to share.
Personally I think it says it all.

You can choose to find a problem with everything.
You can choose to be unhappy with everything
OR
You can choose to have a good or great attitude.

BECAUSE

So are you going to strive for a great attitude too?

Oh no WHEN will it fall??

As I am getting a few reviews posted (I think I've got 3 to do) I wanted to have some additional fun for you all.

We have our Sweet February Giveaway Hop going on.

We have our Extended January Tupperware Sale items going on.

And of course we have this WONDERFUL (NOT) Winter Wonderland going on ....... which trust me was NOT on my list of things for February (or March or January for that matter).

Lets have a "flash" type giveaway.   Post your guess as to when the "snow wave" will come off my Garage Roof.  This seems to be the place where all kinds of "interesting" curls occur and this season it is no different.



We had the additional snowfall and mix of snow and ice coming down since early this morning and this is what I saw when I got up this morning.  Yes it does make for a "surprise" if you go in or out of that door ... which we obviously don't use when this happens ... could you see being under that when the door slammed shut?  BRRRRR

Tell me below, when you think this current "wave" will fall off the roof and you will win a mystery gift.  Closest without going over wins.

Also leave me a way to contact you so I can get your shipping address ... I mean if you win you want your prize right?


Since you are here - jump over to the Sweet February Giveaway Hop and check out all the great prize possibilities ... lots of bloggers in this one.  Enter one or more and if you win ... let me know so we can brag about it!

Rules for dating my daughter

I just love this shirt!
I think it should be given to every mother and father on the day they bring their beautiful daughter home from the hospital.

What do you think?

Isn't this PERFECT??

#SweetFebruary Giveaway Hop

It's FEBRUARY! and time for another Themed Giveaway Hop!  

I really enjoy being part of these, don't you?

Welcome to the 

Sweet February Giveaway Hop

Hosted by Planet Weidknecht and LeahSay's Views

From February 3-15, you can enter giveaways at all the participating blogs listed below.

Each blogger is offering a prize of $25 or more!

Because it is February and February means Valentine's Day,
I thought I would make my prize follow that theme.

So my prize will be ...

A Tupperware Cookie Keeper with the Valentine's Day Theme and A Red Travel Mug
I haven't tried it yet, but I bet muffins, (breakfast, minis or regular) would fit in the keeper too,
and you never know what else I might "toss" into the mix as the mood hits me.

Want to buy them right now?  

They are on sale until February 14th on my Tupperware Site

Just in case you aren't feeling quite so lucky this time, or if you need more than one!

January Tupperware Sales Extended !!

Oh happy day!

As most of us have been having a rather disastrous January, as far as the weather goes, Tupperware is going to give us the ability to still get some of those great January SALES in February.  Now personally I think that is a fantastic deal ... especially since the silly ground hog decided that we can all use an additional 6 weeks of Winter ........ like we haven't had enough already!!

You can check this out on my Tupperware Site or if you want to jump on into my current online party (link is on the top right sidebar) you can take advantage of these deals.

Remember January has always been Tupperware's Modular Mate Sale month, and this year was no exception.  I am so happy that it has been extended to February 14th - for anyone who didn't have an opportunity to get some (or if you want more) because of the wonderful January weather we had.

And then we had some really nice items to make breakfast easier - you got it those are on the extended sale too!

Oh and that really cute Valentine's Day themed cookie keeper and Red Travel Mug (yes that is part of my Sweet February Giveaway Hop prize that starts tomorrow) is also still available.  It really is sharp looking and the travel mug ... well personally I think travel mugs ROCK!

So if you aren't really interested in the Super Bowl (or only watch for the commercials) you could hop on over to my Tupperware Site or Join my Current Party and pick up some of these extended sale items, as well as check out what else we have to offer.  And remember my personal Tupperware Deal that I explained here at the bottom of the post .... that's still around too!

Any questions - message me or leave a comment here and I will get back to you.

Super Bowl 2014

I don't know about you ... but the hype and brew-haha over this year's Super Bowl in NEW JERSEY is really getting to me.  And to be honest I'm not a big football fan anymore.

Oh I use to be a BIG fan.  I use to love to watch the games every week and then the AWESOMENESS of the Super Bowl (ok some years it is really lopsided) with those great commercials.  But lately its all about the money, the super egos of the players (I know not all the players but they are over-shadowed by those that have egos the size of the Grand Canyon) and the trash talk.

Yes the trash talk ..... and what seems to be a LACK of Geographical knowledge as to where the Meadowlands is.

East Rutherford is NOT in New York, 

The Met Life Stadium is NOT in New York 

 NOT even a suburb of New York .... 

Why is that so hard for them to say?  it's in NEW JERSEY.  

Even Batman knows where it is being played ... what is the matter with those "big time" sportscasters and the NFL itself ??  
It's NEW JERSEY


Let's hope there are some REALLY GOOD commercials this year - lately that's been the BEST PART of the Super Bowl .....

Or maybe this will be the year it goes back to being a GREAT game?

Now that I feel a bit better, 

who are you routing for?  

The Seahawks?  

The Broncos? 

Or the Commercials?
