Tropical Traditions Giveaway

I'm so excited to bring you another Super Event Giveaway! This week is all about Tropical Traditions and their amazing Coconut products! Hosted by Full Price? Never! with contributing bloggers CuzinLogic and MyCraftyLife.

About Tropical Traditions: Tropical Traditions has a long history of cultivating superior coconut oil. Founders Brian W. Shilhavy, BA, MA and Marianita Jader Shilhavy, BS, CND actually farmed it themselves in the Philippines which lead to their understanding of the health qualities of coconuts. Once back in the states they recognized a need to find quality coconut products and they filled it! Maybe their most famous product, Coconut Oil is the first thing that people think of when it comes to Coconut products, but Tropical Traditions offers so much more! From organic food to skin care items!
Learn More About Tropical Traditions: Website, Twitter #1, Twitter #2, Google+, Pinterest, Facebook, newsletter.


Personal Review: Heather from Full Price? Never! had the pleasure of reviewing some TROPICAL TRADITIONS products. Here are her thoughts: "I've always loved coconut, but I'd only really ever experienced it in desserts {sad but true}. Who knew that there were so many products that could be made out of coconuts... and that they would be good, really good. We immediately made a bunny rabbit cake and used the coconut chips as the fur. How could we not? Then I sat down and watched Tropical Traditions YouTube channel to get some inspiration. Did you know they have video's of their popular coconut recipe's using their products {don't watch this hungry, they look so good}. Since I was still learning about how to use everything I watched the video that showed 100's of ways to use coconut oil {you can see a list here too}. I really was interested in the Organic Virgin Coconut Teeth Cleaners. I'm very sensitive to the taste of toothpaste... it's my least favorite thing to do so I was thrilled to use Tropical Traditions! The taste was very mild and left my teeth feeling clean and my breath feeling fresh! My next project will be to make brownies using the Organic Coconut Flour with the recipe on the package. Yum! Tropical Traditions get's two thumbs up from me!"

Day Two In NYC For #TheAvengersEvent (Part 1)



So far today has been like any other day.  I woke up at my normal time, and had a terrific breakfast in bed!!  Ok, not like every other day, but I can dream can't I!!!





I am about to hop in the shower.  I need the next couple hours to tame my fro!!!


We are interviewing Cobie Smulders and Tom Hiddleston today.  I am extremely nervous!!!  For the last couple days, I have been trying to come up with good questions to ask the stars.  


Do you have any questions about Loki and Maria Hill that you would like answered??

Day One In NYC For #TheAvengersEvent



Yesterday was tough to start.  Even with all the excitement of coming to the city to hob knob with the celebrities, I was a little nervous going off on my own!  It is very rare that I go anywhere with out my children, and even more rare that I go anywhere with out my Hubby!!


I got to drop Ben Jr off at school, and I tried not to cry!!


Then I went back home quickly to say bye to Ben and Doug.  






I was off!!  It normally takes about two hours to get to Stamford CT to pick up the train.  Yesterday it was a lot longer (horrible traffic!!!)  Oh and the express train (yes express) was 45 minutes late!!  I was supposed to meet up with a couple other bloggers at 1pm yesterday, but I didn't make it to the hotel until 3pm!!


My day got a lot better when I saw my hotel room!!  We are staying at the Eventi Hotel!!








After I checked in, and rested for a little bit, I went to explore the area.  We are very close to 5th avenue (6th avenue!!) so I did a little window shopping.  NYC is prepared for The Avengers!!!  Everywhere I turned there was something displayed to promote the movie!!


I of course had to join in on the fun, so I got Ben Jr and Doug each a really cute Avengers T-shirt!!





After shopping, we all met in the lobby, wearing our Fan Girl T-Shirts!!  




Then it was off to Jack Demseys for dinner!!  Yummy!!  I ordered the Chicken Potpie, and it was very good!!  I also got to sit at a table with some awesome friends.  Heather from Our Kids Mom, Darcy from Tales From The Nursery, and our terrific host Marshall!!


After dinner, we had picture time!!!  The first picture is courtesy of Marshall!! 




Of course we had to get a shot of the ShePromotes girls (Thanks Darcy!!!)




I don't know why my face is sooooo red.  I didn't have any alcohol, I swear!!


After dinner, some of us old timers, went to bed while some of them young-ins went to the Empire State Building!!


Over all it was a terrific day!!!
