Coffee Break: Starbucks® Gift Card Giveaway

I was NOT compensated for this post, but I really like  Starbucks^®  & thought you might, too*

New Year, New Name for The Same Contest. My Starbucks^® giveaways continue to be successful  and generates a lot of  caffeine induced fanfare. I enjoy Starbucks^® immensely, and maybe a bit too often, ( and I am loving my venti Peppermint Mocha right now ).  I don't want to with hold the mesmerizing power of a bonafide caffeine jolt from anyone, and you will need it post holiday and New Year's as an important tool in your full recovery.


Once again I am bringing you a chance to win One of  SIX- $10 gift certificates to Starbucks^® (not sponsored by Starbucks^® ) so you can enjoy a morning (or afternoon, evening) cup of coffee/Tea/whateva-you-like  and  inhale a pastry on me.

Getting Ready For Holiday (or Anytime) Guests

If you have a spare room, it’s likely become storage space, a playroom, or gift-wrap center, and may not be ready for guests.  Whether you’re expecting friends or relatives, it’s a very nice gesture to make the room look like you prepared it just for them.  It doesn’t take much. Take a look around, get rid of any clutter, make room in a drawer, and clear space in a closet. I've compiled a ✔ list (at the end of this post)  for preparing to have guests in your home, and check out these items I’ve used to make our guests feel welcome.

 Bed

For most of us, our guest room is a last thought when we’re putting together our home, so we use whatever odds and ends are available to make the bed.  Offer your guests a bed with fresh, matching linens and other amenities such as a cozy comforter, a selection of pillows and a fuzzy throw.

Nightstand

A nightstand with drawers gives your guests extra storage and gives you a place to tuck away any stray items in the room.  Can’t afford to purchase a nightstand? Use a side table from another room or make a small table by placing a small board on a pile of books and draping matching floor length fabric over it.

Lighting

Having a lamp on the nightstand is great, but you’ll make more space for books and other necessities with an easy-to-install sconce light for reading.

Clock

Your guests will appreciate knowing what time it is, and an alarm clock with an i-pod dock and a special ambient sound feature makes sleeping easier by blocking out unfamiliar noises in your home.


If you don’t have a spare room, then an air mattress in a room without too much traffic is a good alternative, and can be set up to be as welcoming as a guest bedroom.

Win a brand-new Kindle from Noobie!

Win a brand-new Kindle!

"It's hard not to love Amazon's new e-book reader. For starters, it's gorgeous. Unlike its bulky predecessor, the redesigned Kindle is light, thin, and disappears in your hands. If you think there's no way you could ever get used to curling up with an electronic reader, you haven't given the Kindle a chance. Load up a good book and you'll soon forget you're reading plastic rather than paper. You'll also wonder how you ever did without it. The Kindle makes buying, storing, and organizing your favorite books and magazines effortless. You can take your entire library with you wherever you go and switch from reading the latest New Yorker to the latest best-seller without rolling out of bed. In my few days using it, I was won over: The Kindle is the future of publishing." - Farhad Manjoo, Slate
