Headlight Safety Month

October 8, 2012 Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pep Boys. All opinions are 100% mine.

The month of October seems to be the prime month for awareness; Breast Cancer Awareness, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness, Domestic Violence Awareness.

One that is less commonly known, but just as important to your safety, is Headlight Safety Month.

Pep Boys stores supply several 3M products to make your car care, especially headlight safety, easier for everyone. The fall and winter months can be especially dangerous… taking the kids trick or treating, ice on the road, time changes; things that can diminish the driving conditions for you and the safety of those in your vehicle.

One way to increase the safety of your vehicle is to always drive with clear headlights. If you’re headlights aren’t clear, it ups the chances significantly that you won’t see an upcoming danger. Luckily headlight restoration is an easy fix that anyone can handle.

The 3M Headlight Restoration kit is an affordable way to increase the safety of the ones you love. It’s an easy to use kit that moms, dads, drivers in general can use on their own to restore their headlights to safer condition. An example of the results is shown below.

As you can see use of the kit restored the vehicle’s headlights to a clearer, better condition then before.

I don’t know about you, but my husband works long hours during the week and is seriously ready for some relaxation during the weekends. This kit would be something that I could easily use myself to save him the time and trouble.

I’m off to my local Pep Boys for my own 3M Headlight Restoration Kit. Won’t you get one for your safety and that of your family too?!
While you’re there, be sure to check out their mail in rebate offer!!!

Take care on the roads this season friends!

Girls’ Night Out with Primp & Prep

September 17, 2012 8 Comments

This post brought to you by Hpnotiq. All opinions are 100% mine.

Girls’ night out has always been an important event on my calendar!
Every girl needs time with her girlfriends. Time to chat, primp, drink a fruity cocktail, dance with their hair down, music up! A huge part of girls’ nights with my friends, especially during college, was a yummy drink.
Hpnotiq was and still is our go to!

girls night out

I’m super excited to help one of my favorite drinks announce their new website!
Introducing Primp & Prep with Hpnotiq!!!

Primp & Prep is a brand new, one stop shop for your girls’ night preparations!! They have everything from beauty tips to cocktail recipes!
There’s even tips for all you single ladies on how to snag the hottest guy in the bar! 😉

One of my favorite features on the website is a built in Pandora music player featuring fun dance tunes to play while you and your girls are getting ready to go out!
Just imagine you and your girls mixing up a fun drink featuring Hpnotiq or the new Harmonie liqueur and jamming to some fun songs while you get ready for a night on the town!! How fun is that!?!

Before you had to either get ready in silence… which is beyond lame… or have someone keep changing the music to keep things upbeat. The Primp & Prep Pandora station does that for you.

I’ve gotta say I am really excited to try the new cocktail recipes as well! Like I said, my friends and I are already fans of Hpnotiq and can’t wait to try Harmonie!

What about you?? How do you and your girls get ready for Girls’ Night Out?

If you have a few minutes to check out the Primp & Prep website, I’d love to know what you think and what your favorite feature is??
Also, I’d love to hear your favorite Hpnotiq drink! I’m a fan of cranberry juice and Hpnotiq. 😉

Have fun lovelies! And please drink responsibly!!!

Laundry Room Makeover and a Giveaway!

July 31, 2012 62 Comments

Hi there pretties!!

I am so excited to share my laundry room makeover with you today!!
It got a brand new coat of paint (two colors) and a few new accessories!
Shout out and a BIG thank you to Kayli, Brianne (my SIL) and Tammy (MIL), for helping me!!!

Let’s dive right in shall we??

I realized after we had already cleared everything out and started taping, that I hadn’t taken any good before photos… The photo on the left above is from before we even moved in!

So I quickly snapped a few for prosperity’s sake…. OK, and because I TRY to be a good DIY blogger… 😉

As you can see lots and lots of white/off-white going on in there. I do LOVE my cabinets. They’re the same in the kitchen and have this lovely rope detailing at the top… Can you say made for me and the hubs!?! So I decided to use the dark brown as an accent color for the accessories.

The paint colors I chose were Deepest Agua by Glidden and Elegant Lace by Glidden.

Gotta tell you when I showed Tammy the aqua color we were going to use she was sort of taken aback… “Blue?!” she said… But after… “This color looks so good!!!” Thank you Tammy! Thank you! 😉
I personally love how well the white and blue look together! Since the door, breaker box and trim are all white, the white ceiling really ties it all together! Not to mention my washer and dryer and the little deep freeze are white.

The two brown rugs in the above photo were purchased at Wal-Mart for about $18 (bigger rug) and $8 (lighter rug).

So, the color looked great… I love it!!! But it needed something more….

Enter… Quote the Walls!

I wanted to go with a western theme to fit the rest of the house and our style…
You guys, the ladies at Quote the Walls were so great to work with! I told Rebecca the quote I wanted, the color, even the font, and she sent me over a digital proof with the western decals added in for good measure!

I chose the larger size option, 14″ x 53″, because I had that large wall to contend with. Because the vinyl was SO big, we were afraid we’d really have trouble getting it up…. but between Kayli and I we got it centered and on the wall in no time!

Isn’t it fun!?! I love how the brown looks against the aqua and the sort of western whimsy it adds to the space.

If you look to the left from the photo above…
You’ll see the horseshoe Scentsy Warmer that was in my craft room got a new, more fitting home and the aqua color looks nice against my counter top as well!

So… what do you think of my new Western Laundry Room????
Without the Quote the Walls vinyl, it’s really just your run of the mill, newly painted laundry room. The vinyl gives it a more polished look and feel, don’t you think???

How would YOU like the chance to win a $25 gift card to Quote the Walls, so you can get your very own wall vinyl!!
You might choose one just like mine, now available on their site!! 😉

Perhaps you’d like one for your bathroom, bedroom, or little one’s room?!?
Your choice if you win!!!
Enter below using the Rafflecopter form and good luck!!!
Giveaway closes on Tuesday, August 7th.
Winner announced on Wednesday August 8th.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Thanks to Quote the Walls for the AMAZING wall vinyl!! I received the wall vinyl in exchange for my review and hosting of the giveaway, however, as always all opinions are 100% my own!

Cottonelle “Name It” Contest and a Giveaway!

July 11, 2012 29 Comments

Thank you to Cottonelle for sponsoring this post and encouraging me to “Name It!”, Visit to share your name and enter to win! Weekly winner gets a year supply of Cottonelle Double Toilet Paper and a year’s, supply of Cottonelle Flushable Moist Wipes.

Last week I came home to a package on my doorstep… Inside that package was a fun Clean Care Kit from Cottonelle!
Just so you know, I only review items that I feel like I would normally use, or that our readers would be interested in using… and come on, EVERYBODY uses toilet paper!

Being that it’s summertime and summer is the busiest time of the year as far as traveling and what not goes for our family, this couldn’t have come at a better time! If you’ve read Truly Lovely for long you know my husband ropes and because of that we travel to rodeos and ropings all over the state! That usually includes staying at least a night or two in the horse trailer… It’s almost like camping peeps, but with an actual roof overhead. 😉
You can bet the Clean Care Kit will be going with us on our travels!

This summer Cottonelle is hosting a promotion to name their brand new two step process for the bathroom. The ‘process’ which, come on, nobody really wants to call it that, combines Cottonelle Flushable moist wipes and Cottonelle Ultra Care toilet paper. Which is where we all come in… They want us to provide a better name! ‘Cause you know, ‘process’ is just weird and lame. 😉

When thinking about my summer travels the name I came up with is…

Twice the Clean!!!

What do you think?? Like my name… 😉

Now it’s YOUR turn!!! Cottonelle wants to give YOU a chance to choose the new name!
What name would you choose? Official Rules

They’re also giving one lucky Truly Lovely reader the chance to win their very own Clean Care Kit!
Please subscribe to Truly Lovely before entering the giveaway. This is a giveaway for our readers. Thanks!
One winner will receive a kit exactly like the one I received! It will include:

1 tub of Cottonelle Flushable moist wipes

1 pack of Cottonelle Ultra Care toilet paper

1 travel pack of moist wipes

1 solo pack of moist wipes

1 pack of Name It post-it notes

Please enter using the Rafflecopter form below. The giveaway will close one week from today, July 18, 2012. The winner will be announced Thursday July, 19, 2012. Good luck!

Thank you again to Cottonelle for sponsoring my post. Visit them on Facebook to share your name! I was selected for participation in this program by the Clever Girls Collective. #NameIt #spon
