New Limited Edition Homefront Girl Collection by Yankee Candle

Disclaimer: I received the following product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Yankee Candle has launched a new collection of candles to honor our military. They have partnered with Homes for Our Troops and will contribute $1.00 for every candle sold from the Homefront Girl® line!
Homes for Our Troops is a nonprofit organization that builds specially adapted, mortgage-free homes nationwide for severely injured veterans from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Homefront Girl® was created by Gaby Juergens, a military wife and artist who wanted to create a collection for the military community to share their pride for loved ones serving in the military.



The candle I was sent was Watermelon Splash and the label reads: Gratitude Never Out Of Style. It smells fantastic! Summertime is coming up soon so this fragrance really fits well with the season.
I love that a portion of the candles purchased is donated to a worthy cause to help injured veterans live in accessible, mortgage-free homes. I didn't know about the non-profit organization until I heard what Yankee Candle was doing. It's a great way to bring light to these types of organizations dedicated to helping our military.

The Homefront Girl® collection can be purchased in two sizes - large jar candles and small tumbler candles.
The fragrances currently available are:

• Fair Winds
• Watermelon Splash
• Coconut Kisses
• Break of Day
• Hidden Leaves

Klose To My Heart Custom Jewelry Creations (Plus a Giveaway)

Disclaimer: I received a custom bracelet in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Klose To My Heart is a shop ran by owner and creater Kari Warnstedt.
Kari is wife to a Marine who first started making jewelry centered around supporting military families. Her business has grown and she now makes a variety of items including custom orders.
"The push to get me into creating jewelry for others came with my husbands’ career. When I married him and went through my first deployment as a spouse I noticed that the options for showing support with jewelry were limited. I wanted a cute and classy way to show how much I missed and supported him! I wanted all families and loved ones to have that same option. Which led me to creating some of the items I have made today. All the while I get to express my creativity -making stylish and expressive pieces for all who order from me!"
Here are a few examples of what she has made:

As you can see, Kari can make anything your heart desires. The choices are endless!
Getting a custom bracelet made was very easy. Kari was extremely kind and wanted to make sure I loved the end result. 
I chose to have a bracelet centered around my future career in esthetics. I gave her some ideas for the charms and she figured out the rest.
The current turn around time is 1-2 weeks, based on charm availability. 
My Customized Bracelet

I love how my charm bracelet turned out. You can tell that it was made with care and a lot of thought went into the details. It's very elegant.

Which new Stonyfield yogurt would you like to try?

Stonyfield Organic Greek -and- Chia Yogurt

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Stonyfield. All opinions are my own.

If you're looking for something different to eat for breakfast, you need to try Stonyfield's new Greek and Chia yogurt!
With 500mg of omega-3s, the delicious chia-on-the-bottom is the star of the show. There are currently 4 flavors: Red Berries, Pear, Blueberry, and Blood Orange.

"It’s an organic taste experience like you've never had before." - Stonyfield

Greek and Chia is the perfect combination. Who knew?! My son enjoyed the Red Berries flavor and wasn't even bothered by the sight of the chia seeds. (I made sure to completely mix the yogurt and chia before handing it to him.)
He ate the entire cup and asked me to help him scrape the sides.

This is by far the best Greek yogurt I've had. The flavors, as well as the chia seeds, definitely makes it unique. It's a snack you can enjoy at any time of the day. It's that good!
