Hey friends! It is with much shame & embarrassment that I ask for this help!
I'll try not to bore you with TOO many details, but I am in a bind right now & need some help if y'all can give! Even a $1 donation will help me get closer to my goal.
As most of you know, I started out visiting Los Angeles, CA where my brothers now live and then fell in love with L.A. & was loving being close to my brothers again, and decided to move out there.
Well, I had a free return portion of my Southwest ticket that I won, so I came here to South Carolina last week.*(I had to get some personal matters with belongings, etc. straightened out while here)* My money and living arrangements have NOT gone as planned, so I do not even have all of my money for my ticket back. (I have a place to stay in CA with my brothers & have big things in my life on the horizon up there!) I was supposed to be making a trade with a friend who won some travel vouchers, but I never could quite come up with the amount she wanted. I have a little, but do not know what else to do but ask my awesome facebook/twitter friends for help! I am one of those people who RARELY asks for help in life! I am always helping others lol...and that feels good. I feel so helpless right now! I would appreciate anything that you could donate even if only $1! I can even pay it back ina few weeks, I am just broke right now and need that plane ticket back to CA because I have NOWHERE to stay here as of tomorrow.
<p>
Thanks for listening & thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I put a convenient <b>DONATE button</b> below that will take you straight to my paypal address: <b>clamchowder6@gmail.com </b> and then you can do your donation there & it'll go straight into my paypal account. Once I have enough(I need around $150 or so because I have a little bit of money. I do have to pay $25 for my checked bag home-it was free to fly with it here on my free Southwest ticket, but can't go back Southwest.
</p>
If you want to talk with me privately concerning this, message me on facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ajoebloe">https://www.facebook.com/ajoebloe</a> or email: <b>ajoebloe@gmail.com</b> **Btw, I have a few new items(PRIZES I won) that someone may be interested in for exchange for a donation. Just email me for more details. A few items have "codes" to order items online so I can email those..the other items I'd have to ship! Thanks!
<p>
This is not an easy post for me to make but I didn't know what else to do. I hope none of you look at me in a different light now due to this post. Btw, I am revamping my blog soon & it'll be more themed towards all my wild celebrity fun events in Hollywood! I hope y'all will come back soon to check out the new "Joe Hollywood Blog" :)
</p>
<b>**UPDATE**: I had NO clue that paypal was charging such high fees when people use the donation button..For example: on a $1 donation, paypal is charging me .33 cents fee! WOW lol...A dear friend sent me a donation and did it DIRECTLY via the "send money" option in paypal, and it charged ZERO fees lol.. So if anyone can donate that way, that would help me get the full donation..every penny counts lol...but either way via that method or the button, I am so grateful for any help!! I do appreciate everyone's kindness during this rough spot in my life! It means so much to me!!</b>

Sometimes I have a lot of respect for his frugality and how it has helped us get ahead. We’ve been able to save a lot of money and pay down a lot of our debt. Even though I know he is smart with money, there are some areas where I think he takes it too far. I know that it’s important to save, but I also think it’s acceptable to spend on certain things. We were <a href="http://brokeindenver.blogspot.com/">dead broke</a> when we got married, so I was willing to do without so that eventually we could have a nice life. We didn’t even have internet or cable at home, and we hardly ever ate out or splurged on extras. Lately we’ve been doing better financially, so I think it’s time to bring some of the luxuries back into our life. He fought me on it, but when I found these <a href="http://www.satellite911.com/">direct tv des moines deals</a> he had a hard time arguing with me. I was so excited that we were finally going to have all of the channels I’ve been missing for a few years!JoeyfromSChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08455766896198005602noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272756503357551137.post-53428692614568044772011-11-21T14:12:00.004-05:002011-11-21T14:46:27.884-05:00Winners of the FRS Giveaway!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTXphamZdXoXLR7cRMxRp_FzrUjFzUFi0aL16AnWeSCmicRqFFhLibG3BVtphLHHaHhBUpYKZ09HLQtDL7g_wRN9KHRAgXDOf-Udw6GFSz-8NvhytYpaHpGf1LpdDdzFfCbJ_3b70Jgs/s1600/winner.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTXphamZdXoXLR7cRMxRp_FzrUjFzUFi0aL16AnWeSCmicRqFFhLibG3BVtphLHHaHhBUpYKZ09HLQtDL7g_wRN9KHRAgXDOf-Udw6GFSz-8NvhytYpaHpGf1LpdDdzFfCbJ_3b70Jgs/s320/winner.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677530322923263250" /></a><br />The lucky winners in the <a href="http://joebloe1116.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-and-giveaway-frs-healthy-energy.html">FRS Energy giveaway</a> are:<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">@FabFindFoodie <br /><br />@MoneySvngMindy<br /><br />@craftsbykatie<br /><br />@matterofcents<br /><br />@didyouyarnthat<br /></span><br /><br />Congrats!

I liked them the best because they were so convenient and portable. They helped give me that extra energy boost I needed late in the afternoon. <br /><br />The enhanced Ready-To-Drink beverage in the Citrus Pomegranate flavor was DELICIOUS! It was pre-mixed in an 11.5 ounce can. <br /><br />I also tried the powder in a citrus flavor that you pour right into your bottled water. With just <span style="font-weight:bold;">10 calories each</span>, they’re also the lowest calorie way to get energy if you’re watching your waistline.<br /><br /><br />Read more below about their great products:<br /><br /><br />ABOUT FRS® Health Performance:<br /><br />So what makes FRS different and why it appeals to moms (and parents):<br />- Instead of using caffeine and sugar, the energy drinks and chews are fueled by Quercetin, a powerful antioxidant found in foods like blueberries, red apples and grapes, that works by naturally triggering your cells’ ability to produce sustained energy, so it’s a healthy alternative.<br />- Amidst a sea of beverages filled with high levels of sugar and high fructose corn syrup linked to America’s obesity epidemic, FRS® remains committed to providing sustained, natural energy with low calorie and low sugar options.<br /> <br />You can visit the website at <a href="http://www.frs.com"><span style="font-weight:bold;"> http://www.frs.com</span></a><br /><br />One of<span style="font-weight:bold;"> <a href="http://www.frs.com">FRS</a></span> top mom advocates is Christie Rampone, the 35-year-old mother of two who has served as captain of the U.S. National Women’s Soccer team. Dubbed as the “First Lady of Soccer” and the “Ultimate Sports Mom,” Rampone has joined the FRS® Healthy Performance Team as an FRS® Ambassador to inspire others to fuel their best with the healthy benefits of FRS products.

I recently had the opportunity to review a product from <a href="http://www.wham-o.com/index.html">Wham-O</a> and I chose the <a href="http://www.wham-o.com/product/Frisbee/51126.html">Frisbee Extreme Coaster</a> for my Godson. He will be turning<span style="font-weight:bold;"> 7</span> later this month, so I decided to give it to him as an early birthday gift so that <s>we</s> he could have a blast with it. He was<span style="font-weight:bold;"> THRILLED</span> when he got it.(*More on his thoughts below)<br /><br />This is not the Frisbee you may remember as a child. It is a 13 inch diameter disc and flies really far!

We spent four years in our favorite college town and needed a change of scenery. So, Texas it was. We gave our two weeks notice, packed it up, hugged friends and family <a href="http://www.raisingarrows.net/2011/02/large-family-moving-saying-goodbye/">goodbye</a>, and headed west. Sounds a but Oregon Trail-esque, no? Well, no one got typhoid fever or starved to death. We arrived safely in Austin and unpacked into our precious 100-year-old house. Of course, my dad is all worried that it’s no energy efficient or as safe as a new build, so we wants to install an alarm system and get on <a href="http://www.texaselectricityproviders.com/">www.texaselectricityproviders.com/</a> to find the best deals on power since there are four girls using it. It’s the least of my worries, really. I’m more concerned that I find the perfect outdoor patio to read and work on blogs on, the perfect cappuccino, and perfect sushi restaurant, and maybe (just maybe) the perfect guy. Til then, I’m kicking it in Texas with the three coolest ladies I know.JoeyfromSChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08455766896198005602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272756503357551137.post-77964698818734283082011-09-11T18:38:00.008-04:002011-09-11T18:48:48.373-04:00Review: www.Cinderella11pm.com<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg5BHTHK8j5wRE_Q6ipkU2J1ixN59tk91rmnW-nLGdvTuhUCHydFGh5RnApelmvOJ02Kolmw84O-3GZhRW7dolxS3Wrfn7Adrz65PynWy0eCtD_Cziru_KXhtR50ikAvcPGQcziE28OgU/s1600/Cinderella11pmLOGO.PNG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 54px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg5BHTHK8j5wRE_Q6ipkU2J1ixN59tk91rmnW-nLGdvTuhUCHydFGh5RnApelmvOJ02Kolmw84O-3GZhRW7dolxS3Wrfn7Adrz65PynWy0eCtD_Cziru_KXhtR50ikAvcPGQcziE28OgU/s320/Cinderella11pmLOGO.PNG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651175502763488690" /></a><br /><br />I love surfing the internet & stumbling across amazing websites.

A date that most of us know exactly where we were at that time. The horrible events of that day will forever be etched into our memories. It's hard to believe that in less than a week, on next Sunday, September 11, 2011, it will be the 10th anniversary of this awful tragedy in American history. Ten years!<br /><br />Will I always know where I was that day? Yes! I can remember it like it was yesterday.<br /><br />I was working as a manager at a convenience store here in my town & had to work 3rd shift late on 9/10/01.<br />My shift was over between 7-8 am that next morning and I went home, just as I would any other morning, rather tired but still had to unwind before I could sleep. When I arrived home, my neighbor was outside & wanted to chat a bit. He and I talked for around 30 minutes I believe it was. We parted ways & I went inside to turn the t.v. on to watch the Today Show/GMA just as I had done many mornings before...and then....I saw it...all unfolding on LIVE television. Time stood still for a while. Was this real what I was seeing on my television screen? <br /><br />It felt more like a nightmare. Instantly, I thought of my family. My Aunt was in Virginia, but luckily my brothers were just a couple of miles away. I called them all immediately & it felt good to bond during such a tragic time. I had already had a horrible year because I was involved in a bad car accident in which my best friend who was about to turn 22, was killed. He died in my lap(<span style="font-style:italic;">something you never forget</span>) & I was already having a hard time processing his death & trying to come out of a 7 month depression when more bad news was playing out on the screen in front of me. <br /><br />One of the first things I thought of when I got off the phone with my family, as I watched it all unfold on the screen, was how helpless the people in the buildings must have felt. They all had loved ones, family, and friends who cared about them & their life was going to be cut short. Sadness overwhelmed me and I didn't know how to process what I was feeling. For days, even weeks, the coverage was on t.v. & with each name that was read/face that was shown/story that was told, all I could feel was immense empathy for them & their loved ones. It was like something out of a horror movie that played over and over in my mind. <br /><br />9-11 is a day I will never, ever forget. I think most of us feel the same way as American citizens. <span style="font-style:italic;">Where were you on that day?</span> Share your story with me here on the blog. Let's never forget! Always remember the ones that lost their lives & also, the many heroes of that day. Thank you in advance for sharing your memories of that day.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI1UzFAV1vhIudPamYQelUO10t9LyJGomnjaiaZ_JSmEa2X1NYjPcgIYzDrCO2FyqVMTwJDpa1AgQOikcf7lYWD68AyhSEv9r4_Am_G6cJi3HwFHuN5Ara6cYWUJdpwT297F_OQQ9eB6k/s1600/9-11+Tribute+In+Light+Memorial.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI1UzFAV1vhIudPamYQelUO10t9LyJGomnjaiaZ_JSmEa2X1NYjPcgIYzDrCO2FyqVMTwJDpa1AgQOikcf7lYWD68AyhSEv9r4_Am_G6cJi3HwFHuN5Ara6cYWUJdpwT297F_OQQ9eB6k/s320/9-11+Tribute+In+Light+Memorial.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5648563061716675218" /></a><br /><br /><object width="390" height="390"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/VpoudLoc8sY&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/VpoudLoc8sY&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="390" height="390"></embed></object><br /><br />*<span style="font-style:italic;">This is being posted early because I was invited by <a href="http://www.blogwithmom.com/">http://www.blogwithmom.com/</a> to write about this in conjunction with <a href="http://www.bootcampaign.com/">http://www.bootcampaign.com/</a> </span>.

<br />
<br />I recently had the chance to review a tote from the fabulous <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PamelaFugateDesigns">Pamela Fugate Designs</a> shop on Etsy!
<br />
<br />The tote that I chose, since I really LOVE using my reusable bags when I grocery shop, etc., was the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73974320/r-is-for-recycle-custom-100-cotton?ga_search_query=R%2Bis%2Bfor%2BRecycle&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_6314047">R is for Recycle</a> tote! I LOVED it!! It is really great quality and is made of 100% cotton canvas. Here are the specifications for this bag:
<br />
<br />- 10 oz heavyweight natural canvas fabric
<br />- Full side and bottom gusset
<br />- 22" reinforced self-fabric handles
<br />- Machine washable
<br />- Measures 15" x 18" x 6"
<br />
<br />I found the tote to be really roomy, and works well for me when I go out shopping. I really appreciate that it featured a great bottom gusset for extra durability and space.
<br />
<br />My fave part is how nicely she packaged it. It came wrapped with tissue paper and had a twine tied around it. Very nice presentation! I think any of her totes, or items from her Etsy shop, would make an excellent gift!

<br />With Halloween just around the corner, I thought the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PamelaFugateDesigns?section_id=8151621">Halloween Boo Bags</a> were really cool, and could hold alot of candy! :) Her shop also has baby items and just about any Holiday design you could think of also!

I try to get my daily fiber intake, but it's not always easy.<br /><br /><a href='http://www.online-colleges.org/'>Online colleges offer nutrition<br />degrees</a> for people who care about the relationship between food and<br />health.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fiberone.com/">Fiber One</a> cereals make it easy to incorporate more fiber into your daily diet by giving you at least 30 percent of the Daily Value per serving..As a matter of fact, some of the FiberOne cereals give you over 50% of your daily intake of fiber!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myblogspark.com/">My BlogSpark</a> recently gave me the chance to try 5 different varieties of Fiber One cereals. Being a huge fan of caramel, I thought I'd love the caramel delight, but I was disappointed in the taste. It had an "odd", "fake" taste to me. I LOVED all of the others with the Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters being my favorite! It was SO delicious!<br /><br />You can <a href="http://www.myblogspark.com/uc/main/5049/ospe.php3?SES=361e354feb11fec46520aabe47937a3e">save 75 cents</a> by clicking here & printing your coupon!<br /><br /><b>Thanks to <a href="http://www.myblogspark.com/">MyBlogSpark</a>, I have 5 boxes of Fiber One cereals to give away to one lucky Joe's Place reader!

I love to wash my hands with pump soap/foam instead of traditional messy, germy bar soaps, so I knew I would enjoy this alot!<br /><br />Since I had already planned a trip to visit my Aunt in VA, I decided to take it with me so she & I could review it together. We put the bottle by her kitchen sink, and decided to give it a try. The first thing we noticed when we pressed the pump, is how much lather it actually makes with ONE little pump. Nice, rich, foamy lather. The next thing we couldn't help but notice, is the wonderful fragrance. The mandarin orange smell is SO divine! It smells good enough to eat, although I wouldn't recommend it:)<br /><br />What also stands out about this item, is how much you get in the bottle. It was a full 25 oz. of handsoap! It is in a liquid form, but turns into a rich, delicious smelling lather when it is pumped from it's bottle. I am going to leave the bottle with her, and I know it will last her quite some time!<br /><br />SJ Creations also carries a kid's line of products and just about anything you could want for your face, and/or body/skin.<br /><br />The other thing I LOVE about this company, is that they give back. They will donate a portion of the proceeds of the sales of their line of <a href="http://www.sjcreationsinc.com/help_fight_breast_cancer_152_ctg.htm">Pink Grapefruit Pure Organic Products</a> to help fight Breast Cancer. How cool is that?<br /><br />My Aunt actually tested the soap in a rather unorthodoxed way. She used it as a bodywash/bubble bath. She said that it made her skin SO soft and she loved the fragrance also! I only tried it as a handsoap in the kitchen/bath and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend this company!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi0oh7f2uinQGHSKnYdD2jDjHRvBr-XYMOUVaJ5tsI0ZN6ucQ5P_0dGQ8RKX8agrs5ePQYOkDtdgW7qFuLhBNY2EB58nphjlEFqSFytt8XkQSCDpdNpbpmvyyyWlymBewNbOjmd1TowR0/s1600/mosaica9e0da745a30e9802eb9e3fa08258adb2905080e.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi0oh7f2uinQGHSKnYdD2jDjHRvBr-XYMOUVaJ5tsI0ZN6ucQ5P_0dGQ8RKX8agrs5ePQYOkDtdgW7qFuLhBNY2EB58nphjlEFqSFytt8XkQSCDpdNpbpmvyyyWlymBewNbOjmd1TowR0/s320/mosaica9e0da745a30e9802eb9e3fa08258adb2905080e.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622736995968016514" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">*See photo hand model credits at the end of this review:)</span><br /><br />The awesome people at SJ Creations want to offer Joe's Place Readers a DISCOUNT!!

When I was given the opportunity to review <a href="http://www.lindsayaline.com/">Lindsay Aline</a>'s new cd, I couldn't wait for it to arrive!<br /><br />Her cd did not disappoint! I loved her smooth, beautiful voice! One of my favorite tracks is a song called "Belong". I am a sucker for love/pop songs!(lol)<br /><br />You can purchase her cd from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002O6OQ3U/ref=dm_sp_alb?ie=UTF8&qid=1252520384&sr=8-1">Amazon.com</a> and it's very affordable.<br /><br />Want to learn more about this amazing artist?<br /><br />Well, here is Lindsay's bio:<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">23-year-old San Francisco Bay Area native Lindsay Aline wrote her first song “What Would It Be Like” just short of three years ago. Lindsay explains that at the time, she was convinced that her lofty dreams were mere fantasies of a simple girl. What started out as an impulsive desire to put music to her life evolved into a passion for songwriting that now stands as the core toward which she is working. Classically trained, Aline’s music combines orchestral depth with contemporary rhythms and vocals. Her voice has been said to have both dramatic, lyrical qualities as well as resonant, folk qualities.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirPUZsUn8_4fHKNcg2-qQn8QU4EHA7sYaHqDElW68DTpyhS-Fdk0PuXYQy5RuHaM9vD6rkP_G4QLrezSHyWSY9FknB5tquI0Mms4ThJkb7AEzvxvkyuBQOdfwrqfwcJ_CozvUgAeFNTvE/s1600/lindsay2.PNG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirPUZsUn8_4fHKNcg2-qQn8QU4EHA7sYaHqDElW68DTpyhS-Fdk0PuXYQy5RuHaM9vD6rkP_G4QLrezSHyWSY9FknB5tquI0Mms4ThJkb7AEzvxvkyuBQOdfwrqfwcJ_CozvUgAeFNTvE/s320/lindsay2.PNG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614408251426802930" /></a><br /><br />Also, here is more about Lindsay's debut cd:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Since its release in 2009, Lindsay Aline’s 11-track album has landed attention nationwide through all the major online social networks as well as a variety of radio and podcast stations, news columns, blogs, performing events, and more. Aline’s recent developments include the production of her first music video for her highly rated song “Reach”. Listeners’ feedback reflect opinions that her album is “refreshing, yet deep,” and “a balance of incredible vocals and soulful lyrics.” It’s empowering and uplifting. It has a Pop-Classical feed to it with a Celtic flair, all of which is laced with emotion. A supposed mix of Sissel, Josh Groban, Imogen Heap, and Evanescence. <br /> <br />Lindsay’s intentions include both the desire to influence the music industry for the better as well as brighten the personal lives of people</span><br /><br />She does remind me of Imogen Heap! I LOVE her music as well, so it's great to see Lindsay draw her inspiration from several of my favorite artists!<br /><br />This will be a cd I listen to often as I found it very soothing.<br /><br />If you'd like to connect with Lindsay, here is her social media contact info:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lindsayaline">Lindsay on Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/lindsayaline">Lindsay on Twitter</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85848/joeyfromsc/98470ec4e58e2393a277830511ac66ad.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">*All info that I used to write this review, is used with permission.

It's also no secret, that many new homebuyers <span style="font-style:italic;">want</span> large kitchens. So, when I found out that <a href="http://www.cymax.com/">Cymax Stores</a> also carries breakfast bars/kitchen carts, I really got excited because I could expand the space in my very own kitchen without even picking up a hammer. When you can't afford to remodel your kitchen, one of these carts could be the solution to a space problem! I really like <a href="http://www.morekitchencarts.com/breakfast-bar-kitchen-carts--C590-5973.htm">the breakfast bar</a> pictured below because it's very compact, and would be great for breakfast with your significant other or a perfect place to have a friend over & enjoy some coffee. Can't you just envision sitting at this bar together, having great conversation & munching on some delicious muffins, juice & coffee or whatever your heart desires?<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0loxy38nicDb6B0PNXxMw2lqbkrqpHrB0rx7_5vZMPsKC1onmI4nFwydwhfGjBSiaAmAGR8azgvD8fKQ8A0fWX5gEr9IhJ3hhORu-X8h-Mt1aCi7eftLTz-nptgNAiXJTKgHKOBtfEw/s1600/Breakfastcart.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0loxy38nicDb6B0PNXxMw2lqbkrqpHrB0rx7_5vZMPsKC1onmI4nFwydwhfGjBSiaAmAGR8azgvD8fKQ8A0fWX5gEr9IhJ3hhORu-X8h-Mt1aCi7eftLTz-nptgNAiXJTKgHKOBtfEw/s320/Breakfastcart.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613723008819023218" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />This <a href="http://www.morekitchencarts.com/black-kitchen-carts--C590-12.htm">black kitchen cart</a> below could definitely come in handy to give you that extra "work station/prep area" in your kitchen.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was recently given the opportunity to review the <a href="http://www.gourmetgiftbaskets.com/Classic-Easter-Bunny-Gift-Basket.asp">Classic Easter Bunny Basket</a>. I was thrilled and was amazed first of all, at how quickly it arrived! I believe it was within two days. When I opened the box, I noticed that alot of attention to detail and thought was put into how they ship the baskets.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It had plenty of the air bubble packs surrounding it to keep it intact. The other thing I noticed and was very impressed by was the "ribbon collar". It was a cardboard-surrounding that protected the curly ribbons on the top, from being damaged. How clever is that?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The basket itself was a white wicker basket & it was wrapped in clear cellophane. Included in the basket were some of my fave candies such as Easter DOTS, Nerds, Peanut M&M's(yum!),marshmallow chick PEEPS(I love these!) & strawberry twizzlers! It also came with 2 brightly colored plastic Easter eggs(My Mom used to put money in ours when I was a kid!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nestled in with the candy was a super soft and cuddly 8" plush bunny! Too cute!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wouldn't you love to WIN one of these baskets to give to your child(Or for that adult in your life who is still a big kid like myself!)?
