Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Now that you have seen what Expand ‘n Gro™ can do, what are you going to do with it? I know what I am going to do with it. I am going to fill beautiful planters to grow flowers in.

I live in an apartment that is on the second floor, and I have a very small porch outside my front door.  I wish I had a yard to landscape, but I'll make due with what I have.  I like the fact that with the Expand ‘n Gro™ I don't have to lug a big bag of potting soil up my steps. I love the fact that this stuff expands to three times it's size, so a little goes a long way.  It also:

• Can produce up to 3X the Flowers and Vegetables!* *versus native soil
• Significantly improves soil for multiple years
• Feeds for up to 6 months
• All natural fibers hold up to 50% more water than basic potting soil

I'm not sure what type of planters I am going to get, but I'm thinking those long rectangle ones would line up nicely against the railing outside my front door.  Now if I could only decide what kinds of flowers to plant.  I'll have to do a little research, since my poor doesn't get any sun. 

Do you have any idea which flowers grow well in the shade?

High School Reunion

Thanks for the post from Barney Crosby

I am a geek, and proud of it. I have always been the type of person that enjoys school and learning, and I have never been embarrassed about it. Kids in school used to tease me when I was young, but it never bothered me. I never felt the need to be cool, and I knew that one day I would find my place. My mom always told me that the cool kids in school would end up being losers, and she was right. I went back for my ten year high school reunion last week, and the most popular kids hadn’t done anything with their lives. I have a great job working for Clear Internet, so I was proud to tell everyone what I was up to. I think that some of the people were shocked to see that I turned out pretty normal. It was good to see some of my old friends, but for the most part I could have done without the reunion. I thought it would be more fun than it was seeing everyone.

Pineapple & Mangosteen

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Triad Retail Media for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have a secret.  I smoke.  I think my boss knows, though I have never smoked in front of him.  I carry a can of air freshener in my van, and I spray like crazy at the end of every day.  I also smoke in my home when the kids are at their dad's house, and I have been trying to find a product that will mask the smell. 

I am excited to try the new Glade® Expressions™ oil diffuser the next time the kids are away.  They have a pineapple mangosteen scent that I am dying to try.  In fact, they have several new Glade® Expressions™ fragrance mist choices, including Cotton & Italian Mandarin (only available in Fragrance Mist form), Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice, and Lavender & Juniper Berry.  The fragrance mist container is stylish, and the oil diffuser is very pretty.  I am probably going to try one of each. I can save money by using a coupon for $1.50 off of any Glade® Expressions™ at Walmart, where I can also take advantage of their everyday low prices. To find the coupon, click on either link above. And, if for some reason I am unsatisfied, I can fill out this form and get my money back. 

The oil diffuser offers long-lasting, true-to-life fragrance, which lasts 30 days and doesn’t require electricity.  The no-spill design fits with any décor in your home. The fragrance mist is artfully designed and pretty enough to fit any décor, making it a convenient and stylish home-fragrancing option. It has squeeze-to-spray activation for easy and comfortable spraying, and is refillable with your favorite Glade® Expressions™ fragrance.  I may just have to try every scent.  I mean with a money back guarantee, how can I go wrong?
