Support our Soldiers & Share Direct Energy #DEcares
Being a former military family anything I can do to help our service members is close to my heart. When Terence and I first got married it was right after September 11th happened and I cannot tell you how hard those next few years were.
The thing that kept us going and also keeps those troops going is all the support and love they get from back home. I would send care packages and cards….it made their day. Even the smallest things that you don’t think would mean something actually DO!
At Direct Energy, they are committed to giving back to those who have given so much to our country. That’s why they have recently launched the military portal, a dedicated space where military personnel can find discounted energy rates for their home energy needs.
Plus, once you’re a Direct Energy Customer, you’ll have access to their on time bill payments rewards program, Refer-a-Friend Program, easy, on the go Online Account Manager and more.
To be eligible for the discounted military rates, you must enter your valid ID into the portal. Once it verifies, you will then be directed to a dedicated military plans page. You will then see plans available in your area.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again….I love to support companies who give back.
How do you help military personnel in your community?
Easter 2015
Get down with the sickness….literally….
I meant to post our lil Easter recap earlier, then were stricken with the stomach bug. Needless to say the last couple of days have NOT been pretty.
I think we are all on the downhill of this stomach bug…thank the LORD!
We had a great Easter with the Branch family & we even got to visit with Terence’s cousin and family from England for a bit. We have a lot of kids on Terence’s side, so it’s always fun to watch them egg hunt and play.
We had a great church service in remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice for us. Even though we all had sickies we still have SO much to be thankful for every day!
Easter festivities & picture overload below 🙂
Hope you all had a blessed Easter!
Kick The Pain: Stronger & Longer Hair & Nails
I have probably mentioned Dromeo to y’all before, but it’s been awhile since I’ve talked about it & the wonders it beholds. Terence has two wonderful Aunts named Beverly & Lyn who started a company called Dromeo.
When Terence first took me out to meet them he told me they raised Emus. I thought that was crazy because I never knew anyone who raised Emus, let alone had I seen one! Well, turns out Emu Oil has powerful agents that penetrate naturally and deeply through the skin, into the body.
I can tell you from personal experience that the Analgesic Cream (that contains the Emu Oil) really does DO what it says it will. It literally “kicks the pain”. Terence just worked on the yard yesterday and woke up all stiff this morning. He went straight for the Dromeo.
Every friend I’ve share this product with has been crazy about it and I’ve heard countless testimonies of how it’s changed their lives. If you suffer from any kind of pain, stiffness, or inflammation you MUST try Dromeo.
Over the years Beverly and Lyn have developed several other products that work remarkable as well . If you have dry, brittle nails like me try the Nail Therapy Lotion. The Nail Therapy lotion is free of harsh or drying chemicals. It strengthens, protects and moisturizes nails and cuticles. Ideal for chipped, splitting or brittle nails.
I’ve also been using the Hair Therapy Lotion. My hair is naturally curly and I do everything in my power to fight it. Enter….my hair straightener, blow dryer, and curling iron on a daily basis. That doesn’t make for happy hair right? I’ve definitely noticed my frizzy hair is much more healthy and nourished. Dromeo Hair Therapy Lotion moisturizes while smoothing the hair cuticle and defying the ravages of styling tools. Ideal for dry, damaged or color-treated hair, perfect for enhancing healthy hair.
The Hand and Body Therapy Lotion is great too! Soothe, smooth and soften hands. Ideal for dry or damaged skin, never oily. Perfect for nourishing healthy skin.
If you would like a sample leave a comment below. If you suffer from ANY sort of pain you need to check Dromeo out. It will change your life! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
The 2015 DFW Auto Show #TNTFtWorth
Last week I was invited to a fun event hosted by Techlicious & TravelingMom.
A group of DFW bloggers and I were invited to tour the GM Assembly Plant in Arlington. It was so cool y’all! It was fun getting a behind the scenes peek at how Yukons, Escalades, Tahoes, & Suburbans are made. Some of the biggest and best trucks around- found right here in Texas.
General Motors Arlington Assembly Plant has been building quality vehicles in Texas since January 6, 1954. It was the company’s first air-conditioned automobile factory. During its first years of production, GM Arlington produced Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac and Chevrolet passenger cars. The plant converted to truck production in 1997 and now is the only GM facility to produce GM’s portfolio of full-size sport utility vehicles – the award-winning Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade.
After our tour we met up at the Fort Worth Sheraton. A fabulous local that just completed a multi-million dollar renovation. It’s right in the heart of Fort Worth and everyone was super friendly. You must go check out the new rooms and P.S……. there’s a Starbucks in the lobby (You know what I’m sayin???)
Myself and several other DFW bloggers enjoyed a fancy lunch and presentation about the Tech & Travel Show. We had some awesome sponsors including: Chevrolet Suburban, VEX Robotics Ant by HEXBUG, Sheraton Fort Worth, & the Consumer Electronics Association.
Connor LOVED his HexBug Ant.
The lunch was crazy good…but you know what else??? This chick won a KATE SPADE PURSE!!! OMG!!! I didn’t recognize my own name when it was called. Really?
The next day we met in Dallas for a preview of the DFW Auto Show.
We enjoyed a private tour and yummy lunch during the awards ceremony. My favorite part was looking at all the sparkly, shiny, fancy new cars. They just SMELL SO GOOD!
Maybe someday…a girl can dream 🙂
After the lunch there was another drawing for prizes and I won ANOTHER Kate Spade bag. Seriously…I was about to go buy my weight in scratch off tickets. Some lucky streak huh?
Here I am by the 10 MILLIONTH vehicle built in the Arlington Assembly Plant. Those people put Santa’s elves to shame! They work incredibly hard and have the best work ethics. Our group heard a few of the employees talk about their jobs before our tour and all I can say is “Wow” and they should be very proud of all their hard work.
I love companies who support our military. Being a former military family I try to promote and support companies who give back. Thanks Chevy for helping to promote Cell Phones for Soldiers & congrats on all your hard work! Here’s to many more years making the best vehicles around!
A big shout out to Dwan and all her hard work too! Thank you girlie 🙂
