Gorton's Seafood “Fisherman’s Friday” Blog Review and Giveaway

Our favorite seafood brand Gorton's has launched another great sweepstakes called Fisherman's Friday. You can enter for your chance to win weekly - NOW through May 8th! Discover the unexpected side of seafood with Gorton's! Gorton’s is giving away more than 100 weekly prizes on “Fisherman’s Friday.” They also have a truly spectacular grand prize to give away. In total, prizes are worth nearly $10,000!

I enjoy eating Tilapia its my favorite white fish. I buy the Gorton's ones all the time (sometimes its BOGO at Safeway making it a super deal). Well last time I served it for dinner my son would not eat it. This was odd to me since normally he likes it. But lately he has been somewhat of a picky guy when it comes to textures of food. I saw the New Skillet Crisp variety in the store and thought I would give it a try for my son. It says its lightly coated and I think that was why my son was not eating the other one. He picked out the fish from the middle of the batter. We tried the Classic Seasons one and it was great! Plus it lower in calories than the other Gorton's breaded fish. We will still of course be buying the fish sticks, we all love those! 

This is a pic of a recipe from Gorton's it looks delicious!

Novica Review and $35 Gift Certificate Giveaway

Novica is a lovely place to shop online. You get to select from beautiful items from all over the world while helping artisans in need. For Mother's Day its a wonderful place to get some jewelry or a bag for yourself or your own mother, grandmother or mother in law. They are handmade  items that come with a little card that tells you about the artist. Some of my favorite items are the handmade jewelry pieces.

 

For Mother's Day I selected a classic pair of Pearl Earrings. The earrings are cultured pearl dangle earrings in .925 sterling silver called Full Moon made by an artist from Bali,  Nyoman Rena. They are beautifully crafted. I love that I can wear them with jeans and a tshirt and they are still perfect for a dress and heels. All women need a simply and classic pair of earrings like these.

Novica has many great gifts for Mother's Day including bracelets and necklaces.

What we have been up to...

Hi there!!





The weather has been AMAZING here this last week and we even had a sunny Easter weekend! We have enjoyed many trips to the park, picnics and even a few BBQ's. In the great state of Washington you learn that these nice days can be far and few between, so when they are here we take full advantage! Bring on the sunshine :)

Starbucks “Find the Roast You Love Most” Sweepstakes

I love to share Sweepstakes with everyone since its like the free lotto lol. You cant win if you dont enter. I like to enter online sweeps from companies we enjoy their products and its a prize you will like. We wanted to share this easy to enter sweepstakes from Starbucks coffee to help introduce the Blonde Roast coffee.

Earlier this year, Starbuck launched new that organizes Starbucks coffees by roast – including new Starbucks® Blonde Roast – to make shopping for coffee easier. In addition to Starbucks Medium and Dark Roast coffees, the new Blonde Roast meets the needs of the 54 million coffee drinkers in the U.S. who prefer a lighter-bodied, mellow coffee.

Starbucks is excited to announce Starbucks “Find the Roast You Love Most” Sweepstakes to encourage coffee-lovers to explore the full Starbucks Roast Spectrum. Through April 30, customers can enter online to win a trip to Seattle – home of Starbucks – for the winner and three friends, including a personal coffee cupping experience with a Starbucks Coffee Master and coffee-fueled local fun. 

 For more information and to enter, visit: http://starbucks.com/sweeps.

 P.S. I hope I win so my family and I can go see Sam and Nana! :)

*I was not paid for this post.  I was provided a sample of Starbucks Blond Roast for free by the company or PR company that represents them. The opinions on this item are 100% mine and may vary from others.

Brand Influence

Call me crazy but do you ever want to buy something for the packaging or the bag it comes in? I love the bag that your purchase goes in at Crate&Barrel. The simple white bag with black lettering is wonderful. The Starbucks logo, Im addicted to it! I have noticed so many more things since become an insight shopper. Its weird to see the influence brand power has on me and the people around me. Its like when I took a few film classes in college, now I cant just watch a movie, I see the plot building, the hidden symbolism and the protagonist antagonist battles. I cant just look at an ad, now I have to think about what its saying, what its implying. Good grief I think its causing me to think more!

Love this logo!

What logo or brand is your favorite?
