Giveaway Winner!

The winner of the How "Scent-sational!" giveaway is Jasmine! Congratulations girl! I don't know how to link up the random.org picture and the spreadsheet showing her number, so y'all will just have to believe me. :D

Does anyone know how to do that??

Jasmine, please email me your mailing address so I can get this in the mail on Monday morning! It seems like you don't have a blog and your email was a no reply. You have 48 hours to claim your prize before a new winner is drawn.

Thanks everyone for entering, and I hope you stick around to see what we get up to on The Edwards Edition!

How Scent-sational!

I cannot believe it, but this is my 200th post! (202 actually-I just caught it!)

I started this blog to chronicle my pregnancy and subsequent baby having-and that was in July.

You may remember some of my more "poignant" posts if you are a longtime follower, or lurker who goes back through the archives. :D

Allow me to highlight some hits.

Remember my OCD tendencies before Emma was born?? Yeah, it's pretty safe to say that doesn't happen round these parts anymore.

Or how about my push present story? That was for my friend Johnny. He still laughs about it nearly every time I see him.

Then there was the time I introduced you all to Emma. That was then and this is now! Wow! What a difference eight months makes!

Who can forget the day Emma was arrested? Or met Laura Ingalls Wilder?

I started my weight loss journey here and have lost 32 pounds so far-thanks in large part to the community of women who share and comment on their own journeys! Thanks, ladies!

I have discussed vaccinations, my Zumba experience, and my Lenten journey.

Let's not forget the day I discovered how many points/calories/fat grams were in a Chili's chicken ranch sandwich. Blech!

I really appreciate all of your comments, insights, and friendships. I have grown to love so many bloggers and have relationships with many of you-I also love how we can be friends without even meeting!

Thanks for sticking around!

To say thanks, I have a "scent-sational" giveaway!!!

Now, for the goods-we have:

2 Sensual candles from Bath and Body Works

1 is Sandalwood Fig, 1 is Black Currant Vanilla

They smell fantastic!

Not "scent-sational" but these two satiny make up bags are too cute!
A small train case and a smaller bag for your purse.

A delicious scent-white citrus-from Bath and Body Works signature collection.

From left to right we have:
an 8 oz body cream, an 8 oz anti bacterial soap, and a 3 oz shower gel.

Last but not least, an incredible scent from Gucci!

From the Sephora website,
"Gucci Flora is a subtle, sophisticated, floral fragrance inspired by princesses from the past, present, and future. The Flora Donna is a young, classic, and refined woman with the 'Gucci edge' of power and sensuality. The first Flora scarf was exclusively designed for Princess Grace of Monaco in 1966 and soon became one of the most popular Gucci icons. This scent is an expression of the Flora legacy. Its seductive layers mirror the playful details and bright colors that channel the heart of a fashion empire. "

The package I have includes:

1.6 oz perfumed shower gel

0.16 oz perfume

1.6 oz perfumed body lotion

The loot!

So, want to know how you can win this "scent-sational" prize??

Great Giveaway!

If you remember my things I'm Loving post, you will remember me posting about this necklace.

Gah! I wish I would've waited to buy it! Megan from In this wonderful life is collaborating with the designer of the necklace (juliethefish from etsy) to make someone a lucky winner! Go enter her giveaway and maybe you can be the lucky one to get the necklace! I am planning on entering to win one for my sissy!

The Big Reveal

OK, lots of good guesses on how many calories/how much fat was in the Buffalo Chicken Ranch sandwich! I only wish that they were right. Scary, I know. If you have seen the comments-yikes...




So, like I said, I got this sandwich with double broccoli-plain, steamed broccoli. The caloric intake, fat grams and fiber (for the sandwich only) were:



1150 calories
70 grams fat
A whopping 3 grams of fiber (I'm guessing from my whole wheat bun!)



If you ate the sandwich as they served it (with fries), it was:



1850 calories
86 grams fat
3 grams fiber



I'm sorry, but ignorance used to be bliss! Now, I will have to really check out all restaurant food in advance. This is practically criminal. I was talking to b.e.g. about how some people eat like this for 2 meals per day! And don't really know how bad it is. One of their salads had as much fat as the sandwich.I am soooo guilty of getting a salad to be "healthy" and it ends up being worse than say a burger with no cheese or something!



Anyway, it wasn't even worth the 28 flippin points! I mean, it was still good but it wasn't 28 points good!

Moving on, Melissa from one of my favorite blogs (For the Love) wagered a guess of 900 calories and 35 fat grams, coming in closest. So, Melissa, you win the prize! See, it was a giveaway in disguise!!! (Betcha wish ya woulda commented now! :D)

I have a penchant for office supplies so Melissa will be getting my favorite pack of pens (extra fine tip), a pack of mechanical pencils (cause IMHO mechanical pencils make everything better-new, fresh lead all the time!), a cute notepad, a cuter post it pad, and a set of page flags to match!

Email me your mailing address at southernsass30{at}gmail{dot}com by Monday so I can get your goodies out to you.

And everyone else, stay on your toes-you never know when a secret giveaway will transpire...............

Check it out now....

It's a funk show brother-sorry, what? I love that song-it reminds me of the movie with "Taylor Vaughn" and all those girls, I think it's called She's All That-with Rachel Leigh Cook in it or something.

Anyway, I want you to check out Mrs. Potts and her awesome giveaway, and OK, I guess you should enter it, cause it's pretty awesome people! So, go check out the giveaway and be sure to tell her that I sent you!

xoxo

Hopefully I'll get a post with some substance sometime before the New Year. But don't hold your breath. :D
