Coupon Kitchen's Jamberry Mystery Hostess Party


I recently became a Jamberry Nails Independent Sales consultant after falling in love with the innovative vinyl wraps that adhere to your nails (natural, acrylics, gels) through heat and pressure! I'm always changing my nail color and playing around with accent nails at home. However, I could never achieve the cute designs I found on Pinterest. My friend Whitney introduced me to Jamberry Nails and my whole nail care routine has changed! Not only do they have so many cute designs but the wraps will last up to 2 weeks on your fingers and 6 weeks on your toes with no chipping, smudging or my favorite - drying time! I can apply my Jamberry Nails and immediately cook dinner - how amazing is that?! The lack of dry time makes them perfect for busy moms, women on the go, or even little girls who easily smudge their nails after applying paint.

For my launch party I decided to have a Mystery Hostess Party on the Coupon Kitchen facebook page! Just for "attending" you will be entered to win a free half sheet of Jamberry Nails to try. Participate in the fun party games and you can continue to be entered for a chance at various raffle prizes throughout the party. Anyone who makes a purchase will be entered to win the Hostess Rewards. I first hosted a facebook party before becoming a sales rep and received 4 free nail wraps, free shipping for 3 months, $50 product credit, and half off 3 items. That could all be yours with one purchase during the party!

The Jamberry party starts at 10:00 am today and ends Friday, May 2 at 10:00 pm. The best part is you can be a part of this party in your pjs! So head on over to facebook to join the party for your chance to win and learn more about this amazing product! If you have any questions, leave a comment below or head to my Jamberry Nails Independent Sales page and contact me. If you fall in love with these nails just like me and want to host a party or even become a rep, contact me as well and we can get it all set up! I hope to see you at the Mystery Hostess Party!

Harris Teeter Menu Planner April 27-May3

The subtotal is $45.09.

Tip for the menu: For the Chicken-Blue Cheese Stuffed Potatoes I'm using the Carolina Blu cheese dip. You can find it in the specialty cheese section and it is delicious! You should have plenty left over to spread on crackers, bread, apple slices...the possibilities are endless! It's an easy appetizer to take places as well. I usually bring a container of the dip with sliced baguette and salami and it's always a hit.

My husband and I try to save money anywhere that we can and cooking at home is one of the many ways we try to budget. However, when it comes to purchasing an item, eating out, or participating in leisure activities, I always search for the best deal or available coupons before diving in. Digital access from Entertainment.com is a great way to save locally or to use when traveling. For $19.99 you gain a full year of access to their digital coupons. With summer just around the corner, you may already have a travel destination in mind or a vacation booked. Go to Entertainment.com and type in the city and/or zip code to see the coupons available around your city and any travel destinations you might be headed to. The savings are endless!



I received free digital access for this post from Entertainment.com but all opinions are 100% my own.

Roast on the Coast


Hi everyone! I'm a co-chair for the Junior League of Wilmington's first annual Roast on the Coast oyster roast fundraiser. I'm so excited about this event and the potential amount of money we are raising to help foster our community projects to assist the families of New Hanover County. Our biggest focus is reducing child food insecurity. With this being a "food blog" this ideas hits hard because I couldn't imagine being a child and having to leave school at night and on the weekends without knowing if I would be able to eat. The JLW has created so many great partnerships with Nourish NC and the Blue Ribbon Commission to help alleviate this food insecurity and help prevent youth violence in our community.

Roast on the Coast will be held on March 22, 2014 from 7-11:00 pm at Cape Fear Country Club. We will have an oyster roast with other food offerings, open bar (must be 21 or older to attend), live NCAA basketball tournament coverage, live music, and raffles and prizes worth $30,000! Visit www.jlwnc.org for more information and to get your tickets.

Since my co-chair and I are trying to make this event a huge success, my spare time this weekend through next weekend is devoted to the final details of this fundraiser. Therefore, there will be no menus. I'll be back to start off April with both Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods menus. I hope you can attend (or consider donating) and if you do come to Roast on the Coast, please introduce yourself to me and let me know you're a Coupon Kitchen reader. I would love to meet you!
