May Buffet Event – Dale and Thomas Gourmet Popcorn giveaway!
Welcome to May Buffet coordinated by ShePromotes!
This event will take place from May 1st at 12:01am EST through May 15th at 11:59pm EST.
It’s May! And for many of us that means the start of grilling and cookout season. Good food is great all year round, but there is just something about the warm weather that says bring on the steaks! I am sure you like to check out recipes shared by your favorite bloggers, so we thought we’d share some yummy prizes with you! Each blog listed below on the linky has a prize valued at $25+ for each winner – ALL FOOD RELATED! This means goodies to eat and items to help you fix, mix, cook, and serve delicious dishes. So let the May Buffet begin!
My offering to you all is a wonderful Dale and Thomas 12 bag Popcorn Sampler.
This is a great gift for any occasion or no occasion at all! It’s great for friends, family, colleagues or all for yourself! (What, who would do that?) Inside you will find twelve of the best-selling flavors of Dale and Thomas’ extraordinary gourmet popcorn.
Each flavor is hand-crafted in their kitchens with only the finest ingredients and is crunchy and decadently delicious. Each footlong bag serves approximately 2-3 people. All popcorn is gluten free.
Check out these flavors inside:
– Peanut Butter & White Chocolate DrizzleCorn
– Twice-As-Nice Chocolate DrizzleCorn
– Chocolate Chunk N’Caramel
– Black & White Biscotti
– Double Chocolate DrizzleCorn
– Dark Fudge with Praline Almonds
– Cinnamon Creme DrizzleCorn
– Southwest Cheddar Chipotle
– North Country Cheddar
– White Cheddar & Black Peppercorn
– Hall of Fame Kettle Corn
– Dale’s Caramel
I had a chance to sample these flavors and they ranged from rich chocolate to savory and tangy – they ran the gamut of deliciousness.
It would be really hard for me to pick a favorite, but I was especially enamored of the Chocolate Chunk N’Caramel and the White Cheddar & Black Peppercorn. The chocolate was not too sweet and high quality and drizzled just enough to let the popcorn flavor shine through. The White Cheddar and Black Peppercorn didn’t last long! Warning: This popcorn is very addictive! (In the best way of course).
You really can’t go wrong with this as a gift. Thank you, Dale and Thomas for sponsoring!
3 little words: It’s ridiculously delicious!

About the Author:
Emily White lives in NY, wedged between two of the Great Lakes and a few feet of snow and ice. She’s spent most of her life running away from the cold, and even spent a year in Iraq, but now contents herself with writing her characters into warm, exotic places in faraway galaxies. When not tapping away at her computer keys, she can be found reading, reading, and reading some more. And when she’s not doing that, she’s usually playing video games with her husband, peek-a-boo with her kids, or walking through her garden, wondering why the bugs insist on eating all her vegetables.

Mother’s Day Special Event – featuring Amanda Self
I’m very happy to post that Amanda Self has created a beautiful rose quartz pendant specifically for the Mother’s Day Event starting here on May 1st. I’m so excited to introduce it:
Rose Quartz
Affimation: “I am the Divine Mother, she lives in me. Everything she needs comes to me easily”
Rose quartz is calming for the mind, assisting one in releasing worry, fear, anxiety and past emotional trauma. It clears the body of ego driven patterns and can help one feel more open to receiving and sharing love, compassion and kindness. Represents love, gentleness, emotional healing, release of stress, uniting with the Divine.
This pendant is 2″ by 2″ and comes on a lovely black silk cord.
I love featuring Amanda on my blog and I asked her to talk about her art. So here is Amanda Self in her own words:
My love of gemstones began over a decade ago when I walked into a gem store in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I totally fell in love with their beauty and calming energy. Over the years I have discovered crystals and gemstones to be wonderful healing gifts from the Earth. They are here to help us in so many ways. I have thoroughly enjoyed using them in my Reiki practice to help ground and balance energies. In 2006, I decided to create a way to both utilize their powers and enjoy their incredible beauty through jewelry.
I have been cultivating and expanding my jewelry line over the years and I am totally in love with my work. It gives me great joy to see my jewelry light up the lives of others!
With Love,
Amanda
So, please return on May 1st, for the special Mother’s Day Event as Amanda will be offering this lovely piece for the prize package.
Laughing Vixen – In Her Own Words
Today I received a gorgeous piece from Kris (Laughing Vixen) that I had loved for a long while. It’s an Ocean Blue Charm Bracelet with beautiful blues that look like pieces of sea glass, and 10 silver charms that include an Octopus, Clam Shell, Sea Horse, Star Fish, Turtle, Crab, Sand Dollar, Dolphin, Sea Shell and Fish. It’s perfect for any age. Funky enough to wear casually and elegant enough to wear when I go out at night.
I’ve lived by the ocean most of my life so this bracelet really resonates with me.
Kris has so many fun pieces and is always changing things up which makes browsing her shop, Laughing Vixen Lounge, something I do often!
She has two new collections. The first is Funny Vintage Ladies (which go with her very popular Sassy Vintage Ladies) and the second is Funny Best Friends.

| Will Never Tell Your Real Age |
Because I love featuring Kris so often on my blog, I asked her about how she started Laughing Vixen Lounge. So here is Kris, in her own words:
In a former life I was a hairstylist, but after too much wear and tear on my body, I found myself unable to work a regular 9-5 job. So with lots of time on my hands, and not a lot of money in my pocket, Laughing Vixen Lounge was born.
I had always wanted to make and sell my own designs, but just hadn’t found the products I needed to make what I envisioned. But, after lots of searching, and tons of trial and error, my shop began to emerge. Products to make photo jewelry and accessories have come so far that it’s crazy how many cool things you can make now.
My shop is a collection of my love for all things pop culture and retro. You’ll find pin ups, pulp novel covers, fairytales, retro humor, black cats, horror-inspired and so much more. And, if you can’t find what you want, I love to do custom work. I’ve made some really fun designs for people and it’s great to create something so special for someone.
My work may not cure cancer or end world hunger, but it is an amazing feeling when you can make someone so happy with just a little piece of jewelry. It beats the best day of cutting hair a million times over! 8) – Kris
I’m thrilled to also let you know that Kris will be part of my Mother’s Day Special Event starting May 1st, so please come back then to see what needful things you can win!
American Reunion Original Movie Sountrack – Win a copy!
In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago return to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship.
It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began their quest. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler’s mom.
Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the teens who launched a comedy legend.
I also wanted to let you know about an amazing sweepstakes on behalf of the American Reunion Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, featuring a dorm room prizepack consisting of a JBL OnBeat Xtreme docking station, a copy of the American Reunion Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and a delicious assortment of KIND Bars. The OnBeat Xtreme docking station is compatible with the iPhone, iPad or any mobile device and can be controlled remotely by bluetooth, so this is truly a cool prize!
Check out the sweepstakes and enter here and check out the American Reunion Mixtape Twitter feed where they’re trying to create the perfect high school mixtape, one tweet at a time.
Additionally, the American Reunion Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is in stores now, but is streaming for free this week on Grooveshark.com
Check it out here.
The soundtrack has tunes from Boyz II Men, Spice Girls, Good Charlotte & Montell Jordan. Released on April 3, 2012, the album has an interesting mix, combining past and present. It’s a dance-oriented combo with blasts from the past. Some I liked more than others. My favorite is Last Night by Good Charlotte.
Here is the tracklist:
1. Last Night – Good Charlotte 3:40
2. You Make Me Feel…(feat. Sabi) – Cobra Starship 3:35

Uncommon Goods – How do I Love Thee? Let me Count the Ways
Uncommon Goods? How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
I love thee for the shower squids that firmly hold my body wash, my shampoo, my soap, while making the guest bathroom look stylish and fun.
I love you for the fun necklaces you can find here
like this cool one hand-crafted by Trudy James with its warm copper nest and Peruvian opal “eggs” cradled inside.
And right now, I’m madly in love with you for my pacific blue buddha bowls that nestle snugly in the palm of my hand.
These bowls are lovingly handcrafted in Southern California and come in earthy and fun shades with cool names like olive, black bean, aubergine, butter, tofu and shiitake. I chose two of the Pacific blue and I love the way they nestle naturally in your palm. You just put your thumb through and they fit like they were made to sit there. There’s a very comforting feeling as you enjoy coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cereal, rice, soup, fruit, you name it.
As you ponder the meaning of the universe over your morning mocha latte; take a moment of peace and tranquility before the world hits you with its daily demands. Relax at night with some herbal mint tea or a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream and feel the stresses wash away.
These bowls are ceramic; microwave and dishwasher safe. 5 star rating on these from me.
I’m going to get a set for my Mom as well. Her hands get a bit cold and I know the warmth will soothe them. This would make a great Mother’s Day Gift.
You know those times when you just can’t think of what to get someone and you don’t want the generic, but instead something unusual that shows you care? Well, Uncommon Goods has some great ideas. I’ve been browsing gifts for my Mom at Uncommon Goods checking out the agate coasters, himalayan salt tequila glasses, sari bags and parchment blossom earrings. I have lots of Moms to buy for, including my sisters who love unusual items!
I believe they have some of the most interesting gifts for Moms here I’ve ever seen.
So, browse around, and you just may find that perfect gift for your sister, your Mom, your co-worker, your best friend, or yourself.
You can connect with Uncommon Goods through their:

And… I have a special treat for you! Uncommon Goods will be one of my sponsors for the wonderful Mother’s Day Gift Event held May 1-18 so come on back then and you may be the lucky winner of an extra-special gift certificate to buy something uncommonly good and uniquely extraordinary.
