Mrs. Fields Mother's Day #GiftCode and #Giveaway

 "We are born of love, love is our mother...."   That sums up in a nutshell why Mother's Day is such a special day.  I know that as every year passes, I am more grateful for my mother.  And unfortunately she isn't around these days for me to let her know.  I'm glad that while she was alive, I did some pretty great things for her on Mother's Day.  I feel like she knew how much I loved and appreciated her. 
  This year A GAL NEEDS...is excited to partner up with Mrs. Fields Cookies, along with Vanessa from 2 Dorks In Love  and offer up the wonderful possibility of giving your mother a gift package full of those wonderful cookies, whose delightful aromas have been wafting through kitchens for over 35 years!
We are reviewing and also giving away The Mother's Day Delights Sampler, a delectable and veritable smorgasbord of the most delicious cookies you could ever imagine all in one place!    The package arrives with 36 assorted Nibblers® bite-sized cookies, 18 brownie bites, 4 hand-frosted cookies, 2.5 oz. vanilla taffy and 2.5 oz strawberry taffy and a "Happy Mother's Day" gift tag.
 
The cookies come individually wrapped so they maintain maximum freshness. Hint: Put them in the microwave for a few seconds and they taste like fresh home-baked cookies!

   "I received this box and within 1 day everything was gone. I ate quite a few of the cookies so definitely had my share, but I had family over so everyone got to try the cookies and treats. It was definitely a hit! We loved all of them, although the brownies would have been better if they were heated, but they went too quickly even for that! The favorites were the hand-frosted sugar cookies! They were delicious! Thanks so much for the wonderful Mother's Day gift! It made my day!"  Helena, A GAL NEEDS... 
Here is a quick video of my reaction to Mrs. Fields Cookies!

A $50 Visa Gift Card from Xage Med Spa #Giveaway

Everyone loves their mom and always wants to find the best gift to make her feel loved and appreciated. This is a gift I have found and would love to share with you. After you enter my giveaway head over to Makobi Scribe to see her mothers day gift ideas worth over $3000. Then enter the grand prize drawing of a $1000 worth of Karina Dresses

Mom can always use a $50 gift card, right?  Another thing that I have been able to indulge in from time to time is a pampering experience at my spa of choice, Xage Medical Spa.  I love the gift of a massage or some other pampering experience.  It relaxes me and makes me feel oh-so-special.  Another thing that is great for this time of year is laser hair removal! 

If you want to get smooth skin that is free of unwanted hair, you should look for a laser hair removal practitioner with years of experience performing this treatment. Though this procedure is generally safe, the only way to lower your risk is by using an expert with the skills to handle a laser. You will be pleased with the knowledge held by the staff at Xage Medical Spa.
We take pride in only employing professionals with experience offering this treatment. Since lasers can cause permanent damage to the skin when not used correctly, you need to stick to a company that takes the proper precautions. We keep at least one doctor on the premises to provide additional supervision, though we make sure to train our employees with the latest techniques and safety measures. This way, in the rare event of a problem, we can get you treated immediately so you get attractive results without permanent damage. If you are ready to stop spending time and money shaving or waxing, we urge you to consider our services.

I love Xage Medical Spa because the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.  The spa is actually owned and operated by the doctor who is on the premises.  He has many years of experience and is known as the best injectionist in Utah, as well as many other areas of expertise, including women's hormonal health.  They use the most up-to-date laser equipment and up-to-date training.  If you live in Utah, you definitely need to make an appointment and if you don't, by all means come and visit!

A Novica Review and $50 Giveaway

Not long ago I introduced you to Novica Live, where you can have an actual Trunk Show in your own home with authentic items from Novica to buy or order with free shipping.  I love the idea!  It's amazing to see these products and be able to touch them and see them first-hand.  Some of my favorites for $50 or less are:

 Now Novica has come up with another fabulous idea.  Start your own online collection of things that you would love to have from Novica or would love to group together into a theme to express your own individual taste and sense of what is beautiful!  It's called Curation, kind of like you are the curator of a museum of fine art or history.  You get to arrange your own exhibits of the most wonderful Novica creations.  Right now there are over 4000 collections!  These collections help to expose the many artisans from all over the world, giving them even more impact than they already have.  It is a wonderful thing!  
In March of 2013, Novica will announce a winner for the most creative and impactful curator.  The winner plus 1 guest will get an 8 day National Geographic trip to Peru, Land of the Incas!  There will be many other prizes to be won as well!  It is generating lots of excitement!  The contest was announced on November 12th and thus far, as of this writing, there are 2301 new curators and 4082 new collections.  

I set up my own Christmas Holiday gallery and it was really fun to do.  If you like Pinterest, this is every bit as addictive!  Watch out, Pinterest!  lol...You really must try it!  As an extra incentive, I am excited to offer a $50 gift certificate to one lucky curator. 

Mandatory Entry:  Visit the Novica Curation Home Page and set up a collection of your own. Not only will it be an entry for this contest, but it also counts as an entry toward a trip to the National Geographic trip to Machu Picchu, Peru!  Once you are finished, leave me the link of your collection in the comments section of this post.  You can look at mine or many others for inspiration.  After you have done this you can get extra entries on the Rafflecopter form below!  Good luck!
