Give the Gift of College! #startingisbelieving

This is a Sponsored Post for Florida Prepaid. However;  all opinions are my own.

This holiday season, there are a ton of gift guides and suggestions for the perfect gift, but what gift would be better than the gift of college! It's an investment into the future! Every year I hear parents say, "Ugh, I don't know what to buy him. He already has everything!" Well, this is what he needs most right? 

You can give a year of college or the full four years! It's up to you.  When I bought my son's college plan, I was selling my house for a profit so I had a large amount of money to spend, but you don't have to go crazy.  You can start with a one year plan. 



1-Year Florida University Plan:

 Now there is a more affordable way to save for State University credit hours. The 1-Year
Florida University Plan is our newest offering

~ Starting at under $50 a month
~ You can purchase one year, or 30 credit hours, at a time according to your budget and
timeline, without feeling the pressure of having to buy all four years at once
~ The plan also allows multiple purchasers to buy a plan for the same child. So now you can
team up with other family members to help pay for your child’s higher education
~ Great for gifting!!

Think about that... grandparents can buy a year, you can buy and year and then maybe next year add more.  

At a time when so much in the world is uncertain, saving for college through Florida Prepaid College Plans is guaranteed and secure. It is certain- a way to ensure a child's financial security. Florida Prepaid aims to reassure families this holiday season as they make purchases this season!

Kool'n fit Spray! #Win!!!

Disclosure: Kool'N Fit was given to me to try and also to give away to my readers. All opinions are my own.

12 Days of Christmas Giveaways! Don't forget to enter yesterday's Polar Loop giveaway here: POLAR LOOP fitness tracker

We all have those days when we are so so sore during a workout. I know I have. When it gets like this, we have to find a way to get through our workouts because it's just what we do. I was recently introduced to Kool'N Fit, by my good friend and fellow Polar Ambassador, Suzy. Suzy is an Ultrawoman... 
(Suzy's blog) You need to check it out. If anyone would know about sore muscles, it's Suzy! 

Kool'N fit is the best and only Performance Spray on the market. The original formula comes from Europe (Germany), was developed in the 1880's by German Pharmacist and has been in the same family ever since. Also it was marketed since the 1880's with exception during the 2 wars. In 1984 one of the family members came to CA and started the business here in the USA. In the meantime many of the NFL teams are our customers, thousands of athletes, from cycling to running and tri-Athlons, are using the product as an edge over their competition. It's an all natural none-ozone spray; 15 different herbal oils are compounded into a great solution, which works on contact. There is no need to rub it in. It will activate once it is absorbed, in about 1 minute's time and the overall effect of the product is 3.5 to 4 hours. It can be applied as many times as needed.

It is antispasmodic, relives cramps almost instantly, it increases blood flow by up to 31% under the area it is applied to*, and it's a pain relief. Applied before any activity it speeds up the warm up process, so that precious time is not used to warm up the muscles, used during longer runs to alleviate tightness and fatigue and provide the extra energy to finish, and after the events to allow the fast exchange of toxins, lactic acid to be replaced by fresh oxygenated blood, nutrients and cool soothing relief to the overworked muscles. That in turn allows for a faster and more complete recovery time. There is no animal testing done nor does the product contain any PEDs. That is why many Universities and Colleges use the product successfully in their athletic departments.

What intrigues me most about this is using it during a workout. I think back to my half marathon, and I wish I had this. It would have been great to be able to spray this for a quick boost to a sore or crampy muscle. You should try it! It really does help!!!

You are in luck! I am giving away 6 (4oz) bottles and 6 (100 spray) refillables to take along during a run.

What is the most difficult workout you do? Would this spray help you? And make sure you enter my other giveaways!

12 Days of #Christmas #Giveaway! #win

Disclosure: Polar gave me a Polar Loop to give away, but all of my opinions are my own.


Yay!!! It's the most wonderful time of the year!!! 


Yes, I mean it's holiday time, but even better than that, it's time for GIVEAWAYS!!!



The first giveaway for this year is a Polar Loop!!! 
I know that everyone is talking about getting an activity tracker these days and I agree that is it a must-have for this holiday season. But which one should you get? Well, it's obvious! Why not get one from the best in the business. Polar has been a leading developer of Heart Rate monitors for years.

The design is cool and now comes in colors other than black. (I have a black one, and now I am going to have top shop for a blue or black currant) I am loving the new colors! Sleek, sexy and stylish!!! My giveaway will be for a black currant loop.

How does it make you move? It tracks every step you make... it tracks your activity... and it tells you how many calories you burn. A unique feature that the Polar Loop has is that it will sync with a bluetooth unit and strap. Now you can have your daily activity and your heart rate during a workout all in one device! Too awesome! My son, my boyfriend and I all have one. We have had to go for late night walks in order to meet our daily goals, and doing it together certainly makes it more fun.  It is really simple to set up, and it charges by connected to a computer or an outlet. It will also sync to your smart phone.  One thing that I really love is seeing how I am sleeping. I know that sleep is an area where I need help, and this tracker keeps me aware of how much sleep I am getting a night and what type of sleep I am getting. 

So, it's time... Enter for a chance to win your very own Polar Loop (Black currant)

And tell me... What activities do you do to keep active during the holidays?

Merry Christmas and just be happy!

 Just so you know,  I do speak fluently in movie quotes and at times even some TV show quotes (mostly Seinfeld.) 

So here is my Happy Festivus, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays message to you....

Yes, it is Festivus today! It's December 23! And actually, we used to have a decoration for Festivus. I am not sure what happened to it, but it was something my ex-mother-in-law made for me.  Do you remember this show? Seinfeld was the best! I think Bryce and I will wrestle each other later to test our strength :)

 

Then there is Elf. Oh  I loved this movie. Buddy the Elf says goodbye to Mr. Narwhal.  You can buy this tee at: http://www.pinterest.com/thejarran/the-christmas-quotes-we-all-know-and-love-on-shirt/

And what about Clark Griswald???? 

THE BLESSING :) 

The one thing that I hope we all do this holiday is remember: 

What is your favorite holiday movie? 

Remember why; stop focusing on Duck Dynasty and #Giveaways Galore!

It seems that at this time of the year, it's important to remember why we do this decorating, shopping, baking, hustling and craziness. Whether you are a Christian or you have some other belief, we can all remember that above all else, this season is about love! Yes those of us who are Christian can go deeper than that and see God's love for His son. To me, it's a very special time. I am definitely a believer, and I try to live my life for God. I am not perfect, and He doesn't expect me to be. 

I wish that we could all stop talking about this Duck Dynasty nonsense right now. I have my own opinions about it, and I am sure that no matter which side you are on, you feel that you are right. So let's stop talking about it and remember that we have a very special birthday to celebrate in a few days! Love each other and love your neighbors! 

May God Bless you and have a wonderful holiday! 

Today is the last day for my giveaways. There are some great ones. Go check them out!!!

This is my favorite quote these days... Grace rather than perfection! What is your biggest treasure this holiday?
