E-Cigarette Reviewed Create Your Own Flavor Contest


This is a sponsored post on behalf of ecigarettereviewed.com.

Some people chose to smoke e-cigarettes over real cigarettes. They are supposed to be not as dangerous because you aren’t inhaling all the tar and extra chemicals in them.  They are also cleaner for the air and there is no second hand smoke.  There is no second hand smoke because they are water vapor.   Smoking an e-cigarette is commonly referred to as vaping. Traditional smoking has been banned from almost everywhere besides some bars. E-cigarettes give you the freedom to smoke almost anywhere.  You can smoke them anywhere. You no longer have to worry about falling asleep in bed with a lit cigarette and risk starting a fire. You can match the strength of cigarette you normally smoke with an ecig.  They are also a lot more affordable because each cartridge is equal to a pack and a half.   How do you know which one to use? There are so many different brands out there.  It is important to read electronic cigarette reviews to see what others think.

 Ecigarettes also come in a bunch of flavors.  Regular cigarettes only come in a few flavors and they are disgusting. If you aren’t a menthol smoker you are stuck with that bitter nasty taste of a light or regular cigarette.  I have seen e-cigarettes in cherry flavor, tropical, chocolate and even bubble gum.  The sky is the limit.  Some of the flavors that would sound appealing to me would be not the typical fruity or minty flavors. I love to eat so I would like food flavored ones. I know what you are thinking, this is kind of like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and the gum that turns Violet in to a blueberry.   I would love to see a garlic flavored e-cigarette.  I love the taste of garlic. It is one of my most favorite foods. I would also like to see a cilantro flavored one.  I have a cilantro plant and I am always randomly picking off leaves to eat. I think that others would enjoy those flavors as well. I also contemplated a parmesan cheese flavor but I don’t think that would translate well in an e-cigarette. If I were to create a sweet flavor, I would definitely say a cupcake flavored one. Everyone loves cupcakes. I wouldn’t be able to pick just one flavor so there would have to be a whole cupcake flavored line.

My friends over at E-Cigarette Reviewed are having an awesome giveaway! You can create your own unique ecigarette flavor.  Did you know that they are the leading brand of ecigarettes? Check out the V2 e-cig reviews.

Hostess Twinkie Minion Makeover Contest

Everyone knows I love treats. It is no big secret. My nickname is Sheilacakes after all. One of the things I love is Twinkies. I remember taking a tour of the Wonder Bread and Hostess factory when I was young. It was one of my top favorite field trips I went on. There is something just extremely delicious about biting in a Twinkie and tasting the delicious cream. My family likes to freeze them and eat them straight from the freezer. I like them either frozen or not frozen. Noah asked me to buy some Twinkies a couple days ago. I thought it was funny because later that day I learned about this awesome contest!  Here are the details:

Our Entry in the AlexandAlexa Fruit Carving Contest

Noah and I had the opportunity to participate in the  AlexandAlexa Fruit carving contest. The prize is £250 AlexandAlexa gift card. Here is my entry:








This was so much fun. I am not much of a carver but it was fun to try! Noah decided he wanted us to do a traditional jack-o-lantern face. He did the carving himself with a butter knife.  I think it turned out great for being made by a seven year old.  His name is Eyeballs and Brains.

Win a $2000 Educational Grant from Desire2Learn



Noah's education is extremely important to me. I always make sure he does his assignments; he follows directions and have great communication with his teachers. I know that he is extremely smart and that someday he will want to go to college. Right now, he says that he doesn't want to because he doesn't want to be away from me. I know how expensive college is now and by the time Noah is old enough to go to college, it will be so much more expensive.  He wants to be a marine biologist so, that will require a special school. It isn't something that can be taught at a community college. I know lots of parents hope that their child receives scholarships in high school for college, but unfortunately not every child can receive one. Parents have to come up with different ways to earn money or look to other scholarships and grants to provide an education for their children.  Thankfully there are companies that realize this, and offer to help by having contests to take off some of the burden. I have to tell you guys about a really cool contest for your child to win a $2,000 education grant.

Desire2Learn Incorporated is starting the summer off right with a Facebook video contest that awards the winner a $2,000 education grant. The edtech company is providing K-12 students and their families with the opportunity to win education money by simply by uploading a 30 to 60 second home video to YouTube and posting it to the Desire2Learn Facebook page. The videos of K12 students must describe their greatest lessons, achievements and accomplishments from the previous school year.

The three-step process for making a submission is easy: 
  1.  Create a 30 to 60 second video of your child where they talk about what they learned this school year and then upload it to YouTube
  2.  Go the Desire2Learn Facebook page and “Like” it; 
  3.  Submit your video, share it with your friends and family and ask them to VOTE FOR YOU!
 Contest judges will be selecting the top videos every week, which will be posted to the company Facebook page. Nominees are given easy tools to “share” their videos with their friends and family to help increase their vote totals and check their progress in the standings. Videos can be submitted to Desire2Learn’s Facebook page until July 8 and awards will be given out to noted participants on July 11.

“Desire2Learn’s core focus is to promote a lifelong learning among students of all ages,” said Desire2Learn CEO and President John Baker. “This Facebook competition is a fun way for the company to give back to the very people that inspire us every day− the learners. We wish everyone the best of luck in this contest and can’t wait to see the entries.”
