Giveaway CafePress.com $20 Gift Card

I was approached by Cafe Press to offer a giveaway to my blog readers.  I enter a lot of giveaways daily but somehow I had not come across this site before.  In case you haven't heard about them they offer quite the array of unique products and many of them you can personalize.  They add an average of 135,000 new designs each week.  If you have a hobby, favorite activity, cause or interest, you can find merchandise geared towards these interests.

CafePress.com has products from apparel and drinkware to posters, electronic accessories and more. You can make your own designs with their easy online design tools, then buy them, share them or sell them in your own online shop. CafePress.com today ships over 6 million products annually, and has over 11 million unique visitors to our website each month.

My 3 year old really loves basketball so I did a search on CafePress.com for basketball.  I could not believe how many products came up it was pretty amazing.  I narrowed the options to kids t-shirts and found this totally cute shirt.

After searching t-shirts I thought I would see what they have for water bottles with a basketball on them.  This one was my favorite because you can put your child's name on the bottle.

They even have different coffee mug designs, fun t shirts, your can even create a shirt too.

Talk about hard on the body and belly. I was pretty active as a child and young adult, but when my life changed and became all about the kiddos, I lost track of who I was. I love my kids and I love being a mom, but I didn't realize how I let myself go. I saw a picture of myself and I did not like what I saw. My little one is 3 1/2 and I realized this was no longer "baby weight". I knew I had to do something. So I set out on my transformation journey. The great thing is that my husband and I took the journey together. We now are like newlyweds as we each got a new spouse! I lost 20 pounds and he has lost over 100 pounds. We feel great! Now I am devoting my time to helping others along their journey. I want everyone to feel as incredible as I do and know all things really are possible."

Recycling is Good For Us All

I am not sure about how you feel but I love companies that are putting forth an effort to help the environment.  Since joining this Arrowhead campaign I've been able to learn some great information about what Arrowhead is doing to help the environment.  I am so happy to spread the message about Arrowhead's efforts to help the environment.

Arrowhead:

• Launched their ReBorn™ Bottle with 50% recycled plastic at a community event in San Francisco on America Recycles Day (November 15th)
• Arrowhead partnered with Keep California Beautiful, about 150 volunteers beautified the Fisherman’s Wharf area.  Check out the great video on Arrowhead's Facebook page.

 Wondering what you can do to help make a difference too?

You can:

• Recycle all of your plastic bottles to help Arrowhead get more recycled plastic to make their ReBorn™ Bottles.
• Drink more Arrowhead water which is from bottles made of recycled plastic.
• Visit Arrowhead's Facebook page and show them some love for what they are doing to help the environment. You can watch a video, Tweet or share on Facebook about what Arrowhead is doing or even thank them for the efforts they are making.

It would be great if recycling efforts in America could ramp up as this just helps everyone in the long run. Please see the Infographic below and see just how much room for improvement we have.

My Relationship With Recycling

Today I am sharing something that I feel is so important for all of us to participate in and that would be recycling.  You see recycling and I go way back, I can remember collecting stacks and stack of newspapers with my dad and taking them to the recycling center.  I don't remember if we got much money for doing it but it was something I did with my dad and it was kind of fun.  Fast forward about 40 years later and I am still into recycling.   I am lucky to live in a community where we have three separate trash cans, one of traditional waste, one for yard or plant clippings and one for recycling.  This certainly makes the process much easier.   I am not sure how widespread this type of system is but I would love to hear what you think. I do keep my bottles and cans separate and take them to a local recycling center and make a little cash. 

Here are some startling facts about recycling:
 
1. U.S. plastic beverage bottle recycling rates are only at about 30%
2. 2.8 Billion plastic bottles ended up in California landfills in 2011
3. Even though a package says it is “100% recycleABLE”, that does not mean it is made with recyclED plastic.  It just means it CAN BE recycled.  In fact, most containers are not made of recycled plastic.

Check out the great Infographic, it paints a clear picture of just how bad the recycling problem is in the US.

Here are some facts about Arrowhead's ReBorn Bottles
1. Arrowhead’s new ReBorn™ bottle is made with 50% recycled plastic and demonstrates how the plastic you recycle can be given a new life.
2. Due to the limited supply of high quality recycled plastic, we need your help in recycling so companies like Arrowhead® 100% Mountain Spring Water can use more recycled plastic in our products!

Please check out how Arrowhead is making a difference for the environment by visiting Arrowhead on Facebook.

It is wonderful to know that companies are doing their part for the environment!  I drive my husband crazy when I tell him not to put certain things in the trash because they are recyclable.  How do you feel about recycling?  Do you have any recycling centers close to you where you take recycling products.
