Funny t-shirts and costumes galore!

CostumeSquad generously offered to let me review a t-shirt and I eagerly agreed.  When I found the I love to read shirt in the funny t-shirts category, I had to get it for my dad.  He works at a waste-water treatment plant and loves wearing goofy, poop-related attire to work.  He has a great sense of humor and he’s shameless.  He’ll wear this shirt with pride.

The shirt arrived in a package comically marked “Shirt Inside, Oxygen Low,” “Shirts are for external use only,” and “Our shirts have been causing good lookingness since 2004.”  The last claim may not hold true for this shirt :)  Despite the lack of attraction-booster, this shirt is pretty fantastic.  The image appears to be high quality — it doesn’t look like it will crackle and disintegrate instantly like many screen prints do.  The fabric is fairly thick and feels durable.  The red is vibrant and pairs perfectly with the simple design of the image.

In addition to entertaining t-shirts, Costume Squad also has a wealth of costumes.  They have sexy costumes, movie costumes, and even dog costumes.  Keep this in mind if you’re going to be a contestant on Let’s Make a Deal sometime soon!  Or there’s always Halloween…

Disclaimer:  I received a complimentary t-shirt to facilitate this review.  I did not receive any monetary compensation.  All thoughts are my own.

I never liked yogurt as a kid.  These days, I cannot imagine my life without it.  I love that it’s quick, tasty, and a great source of calcium.  I often eat it for breakfast, with lunch, and as a snack when I’m craving something sweet and am exercising enough self-control to avoid chocolate.  Considering my love for yogurt, I am very excited to host a giveaway for Yoplait Original yogurt as my first giveaway on this site!  Especially since Yoplait Original now has 50% of the daily value of calcium, is 99% fat free, and there are 23 flavors to choose from.  What’s not to love?

With hectic schedules and many things to keep track of, consuming a sufficient amount of calcium may not always be our top priority.

Luckily, Yoplait is committed to making it easier for women to add more calcium to their diet every day with the newly reformulated Yoplait Original style yogurt.

Now with two times the amount of calcium of the leading yogurt, that´s 50 percent of the Daily Value in one convenient 6-ounce cup, Yoplait Original yogurt provides women with an easy and delicious way to get the calcium they need. Yoplait Original also contains 50 percent of the Daily Value of vitamin D, which helps with the absorption of calcium. Yoplait is committed to women´s health and is proud to offer a product that has even more of the calcium and vitamin D they need for strong, healthy bodies.

In an effort to further educate women about the importance of maintaining strong, healthy bones through an active lifestyle and a diet rich in calcium, Yoplait is partnering with TV host and celebrity mom Nancy O´Dell on a one million cup giveaway of Yoplait Original yogurt, beginning December 13th. Visit Yoplait on Facebook to sign up for your free cup and make a personal commitment to meeting your calcium needs each day. While you´re there, take a moment to enjoy daily calcium tips from Registered Dietitian Katherine Brooking and healthy lifestyle advice from Nancy O´Dell.

Yoplait Original Style yogurt is available in 4-cup packs and easy-to-store 8-cup fridge packs in 23 delicious flavors including Strawberry, French Vanilla, Harvest Peach, and Blackberry Pomegranate.

MyBlogSpark sent me a fabulous Yoplait gift pack which included a Coupon for a free sample of Yoplait Original yogurt, a duffel bag, speed rope, water bottle, and sport towel.  I used the coupon to try the pina colada flavor, and it did not disappoint.  It was creamy and flavorful, and did not have any of the chemical taste that some yogurts are guilty of.
