Persona Vitamins with Moms Meet

I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links.


What is Persona? 

Persona is a vitamin subscription that provides a 28-day supply of vitamins and supplements that are recommended for your unique needs. Members get access to expert nutritionists and an app with tools to help support their new regimen. Persona currently offers 80 different vitamins and supplements including vegan options. These custom vitamins packs are are based on your individual lifestyle and nutritional needs. 

With so many choices when it comes to vitamins, it becomes difficult to know what's best for you. It can be overwhelming to the point where you just don't take any vitamins at all. I was thrilled to try Persona because it takes all the guesswork out for you. With Persona, you receive a personalized plan specific to your individual needs. There is no"one size fits all" with Persona because they know needs differ greatly from person to person. 

Getting Started

On the Persona site, you will be guided to take a quick yet comprehensive questionnaire that is used to address your personal needs. The information from your quiz is given to a team of professionals who recommend your personal pack of daily vitamins. After I completed the assessment, I had a complete list of supplements that were tailor-made for my needs. 
Iron, energy support, Omega 3, and a hair skin and nail supplement were just a few of the vitamins that were suggested for me. I love that the research was done for me and that I can trust what I'm putting into my body.




I am nearing the end of my first month with Persona  and I can honestly say I that I have more energy during the day and better sleep at night. The packaging makes it so easy to keep track of your supplements. There's not a ton of bottles you have to sort through daily and they're labeled for morning and evening so you know exactly when you need to take them. I love the easy access  support from Persona and you can even schedule a call from one of their nutritionists to help with anything you need.
I love how effortless it is to order and how convenient the packing is.

Squishmallow Party with Jazwares

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Jazwares. All opinions are 100% mine.


If you have a Squishmallow obsessed child ( or if YOU are!) then this wonderfully squishy, squeezable, cuddly birthday party is just for you! 

The invitation to the party sets the tone for the event so the little guests knew there would be lots of pink and lots of soft, squishy Squishmallows


I created the backdrop by attaching pink, brown and ivory ballons together to create a garland. A glittery gold pennant banner was draped across the balloon garland to give it a little sparkle and shine.  

We fell in love with Flip-A-Mallows, the two-in-one Squishmallows and used them as part of the party decor. Wait until the end of the post to see what Hans the hedgehog and Dawn the fawn flip into! 

Goodies bags were filled to the brim with the cutest Squishmallow pens, stickers and treats for all the little Squishmallow fans. I created a few festive party hats out of paper for the little guests and Squishmallows to wear during the party. A party isn't complete without a party hat! 



Cake is a must at any party and Hans the hedgehog is certainly eyeing all those yummy sprinkles! 

I added a few simple paper hearts to glass milk bottles to dress them up a bit. The little ones loved dining on scrumptious cake and sipping ice cold milk. I think one tiny guest even offered a bite to Dawn the fawn! 


Towards the end of the party, we surprised the guests by flipping Hans the hedgehog into Sharie the sloth and flipping Dawn the fawn into Winston the owl. How adorable are they?! The kids LOVED playing and snuggling with these fun two-in-one cuties. 



The party wrapped up after lots of Squishmallow play and games. The little Squishmallow fans enjoyed every second with their new, loveable, super soft Squishmallows bffs!

Halloween Cone Gift Idea

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of HERSHEY® for SheSpeaks. All opinions are 100% mine.


Do you "boo" your neighbors? This is such a fun tradition that our family looks forward to each year and we can't wait to do it again! 

 Simply leave a basket of Halloween goodies on your neighbor's doorstep, ring the doorbell and RUUUUUN! Inside the baskets are treats and little Halloween gifts like HERSHEY® candy from Walmart, glow sticks, cards and stickers. Get the entire neighborhood in on the fun with this You've Been Booed gift basket idea! For this idea, instead of using a basket, I've created a cone to hang on neighbor's door knobs. They're so quick and easy to make, you could easily create them for the entire neighborhood in no time! 

I headed to Walmart  to gather everything I needed to put inside the Halloween cones. Walmart is the one-stop shop for all things Halloween and I knew I'd find some fun items to fill my baskets with. The HERSHEY'S All Time Greats Miniatures large variety bag was perfect for this project since we'll be leaving a lot of gifts on neighbor's doors and I wouldn't want to run out of goodies! 



To create the cone, print out this template and trace your choice of pattern paper around the template. Once your pattern paper has been traced, cut it out and glue it into a cone shape. Grab the download to the cone HERE.

 
Using a hole punch, punch a hole on each side of the cone and thread black ribbon through to create a handle. Tie a few strands of orange and aqua ribbon to the handles and decorate however you'd like! You could add stickers or cut out fun Halloween sayings from paper, just anything that gets you in that Halloween mood. 



Next, fill your cones with a little bit of paper shred and a Halloween card. Tuck in some Halloween stickers, glow sticks and lots of delicious candies from the HERSHEY'S large variey bag. 





Your Halloween cones are now ready to be hung around the neighborhood! Your neighbors will love these cute cones filled to the brim with all those Halloween necessities like HERSHEY® candies! 




It's always nice to let neighbors know how much we love and appreciate them. A little Halloween token of treats and small gifts is the perfect way to celebrate and bring the community together.
Be sure to stock up on HERSHEY Halloween products so you can enjoy them all season long!

Halloween Movie Night Concession Stand



This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of HERSHEY® for SheSpeaks. All opinions are 100% mine.


We LOVE Halloween at our house and you better believe I stock up early on treats to enjoy all season long. A quick trip to Walmart's candy aisle and I'm in Halloween candy heaven! Some of my new favorite treats are the New KIT KAT® Witch's Brew Bar with their bright purple wrapper and adorable little witch. When you open them up, they're a really cool pale green that has the classic crunch of a KitKat but the coating is marshmallow flavored! You MUST try these, they're so yummy! Also we're loving the New Reese's Franken-Cup that feature a spooky splash of green. Head to WALMART  for your one-stop shop for all things Halloween. You can get everything you need to start the season with one quick trip to Walmart, Walmart.com or my favorite, Walmart Grocery Pickup!

With all these festive treats I knew I had to incorporate them into a Halloween movie night with the family! Check out below how I put this creepy cute concession stand together. 


One of my family's favorite Halloween movies is Hocus Pocus and it's tradition that we watch it on October 1st. So of course the theme of the concession stand is a nod to this spooktastic movie. I started out transforming an old bookcase by creating a balloon garland in pink, orange and black and draping it over the bookcase. Next, I used my cutting machine to create a mini awning and attached it to the top of the bookcase. 

I created a concessions sign and black arrow pointing to the treats out of black and pink paper. 

For this next detail, you could cut out the title to your movie and attach it to a chalkboard using tape or simply write out all the details in chalk onto the board. 

Next, I used my cutting machine to create pink and black star boxes and filled them with REESE'S Franken Cups, REESE'S Pumpkins, New KIT KAT® Witch's Brew and Hershey Milk Chocolate Bars. I wanted it to feel like we were actually going to a movie inside a movie theater so I created mini movie tickets and tucked them inside the treat boxes. 





You could prepack all of the goodies into the boxes or you could leave the boxes empty and have your family pick and choose their favorites! 

We're so excited to devour these delicious treats from Hershey for our annual Halloween movie night.  I hope you enjoyed our Halloween movie night concession stand! 



No matter how you celebrate Halloween this year, your celebration will be the best on the block with your favorite treats from HERSHEY at WALMART!

Pumpkin Terrarium

Disclosure: As a member of the Oriental Trading Fun Squad, I received compensation and/or products in exchange for my styling and crafting services. This post contains affiliate links.




It's the most wonderful time of the year! I'm so excited for Halloween crafting and decorating, how about you? Today I'm sharing this spooky scene I created using a pumpkin terrarium from Oriental Trading


For this craft, I spray painted the pumpkin using aqua spray paint and painted the stem black using acrylic paint. After the paint on the pumpkin had dried, I used my Cricut Maker to cut out a haunted house, a spooky old fence, bats and stars. I loved the colors from pastels cardstock variety pack and knew they'd be perfect for this project. 


After all my pieces were cut out, I attached them using hot glue to the pumpkin and to bottle brush trees. I also painted a few mini pumpkin candy buckets using black and coral paint to place around the terrarium. 


When the lights go out, add some sparkling string lights or tuck a battery operated candle inside the pumpkin. 

 Your spooky scene is now ready to go! Place it on the mantel, table or any other place you can think of for a little Halloween cheer. 


Thanks for stopping by!
