Visiting Texas: Studio Movie Grill in Houston, Texas

This is a sponsored post.

Hey Butterflies! So I've personally never been to a Studio Movie Grill, but with it being basically summer already there are a lot of new movies that are hitting the big screen (like Spiderman and soon the new X-Men) and with that being said; lately I'm hearing a lot of talk about how great Studio Movie Grill is and now I really want to experience SMG. For you guys who've never heard of Studio Movie Grill; SMG combines the latest Hollywood releases, featuring 100% digital projection, with restaurant quality food and beverage from an American Grill menu and full-service bar. Want to experience SMG too? For movie listings, showtimes, and directions to a SMG theater, please visit StudioMovieGrill.com and if you use promo code SMGFamily you can get a $5 movie ticket to any movie of your choice! Sweet right? Also, there's a new bar and lounge area at SMG Copperfield location for all of my Houston area readers so be sure to check it out and let me know what you think!

The female Loki (Greek God of Mischief)

This was by far my favorite, I freaked when I saw this little dude last year. I freaking LOVE Edward Scissorhands! Lol, my hubby says I only like it because I'm in love with Johnny Depp. Well...I do LOVE me some Mr. Depp.

Bargain Shopper: Save Money at GNC with the ibotta App!

It's amazing to see the changes ibotta has made since I join a few years ago. I was able to save a few bucks on my most recent purchase at GNC using the ibotta app. I picked up some gummy vitamins for my little princess and the Super Colon Cleanse I have been wanting to try; combined both supplements would have been about $32 but they came out to about $24 with my "Gold Member Card" (typing that just made me want to see all of the Austin Powers movies again lol) and minus the $6 from ibotta, I really only came out of pocket about $26 which is much better than paying regular price. Cheers to saving $!

Beauty Trends: Amara Organics Vitamin C Serum

This is a sponsored post, I was invited to try this product and give my honest opinion.

Beautiful Butterflies! I have a new product review for you guys and this one is beauty related... (yay) my favorite. It's from the Amara Organics company and the product (pictured above) is their Vitamin C Serum formulated using a potent blend of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Hyaluronic Acid, all which are very good for your skin. The Amara Organics Vitamin C Serum replenishes your skin’s vitamin C levels to give you these benefits:

Increases the production of collagen to bring back skin’s natural elasticity and counteract fine lines and wrinkles | Powerful antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals to reverse damage caused by the sun and pollutants | Protects your skin from UV damage such as age spots, discoloration, and fine lines | Improves skin texture to give you a smoother, brighter complexion | Combined with Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid for extra powerful anti-aging effects

Bargain Shopping: Really Cheap...Basically Free Guess Sneakers at Shoe Carnival

Hey Butterflies! So last weekend I was in one of my favorite places to get name brand shoes (not saying I'm a label junkie...I shop at payless too) for a low price; Shoe Carnival looking for some new workout kicks when I came across theses beauties for my princess aka my mini me (lol).

They were regularly $50 but on clearance for $10 (which was already a good price to me) and then while we were still shopping the manger said all clearance was an additional $5 off for 20 minutes only (you all should have seen had excited I got) making them only $5. That's not all, when we got to the register we signed up for the Shoe Carnival "Shoe Perks" reward program which gave us an additional $2 off and of course we got to spin the wheel (if you're a Shoe Carnival regular then you know what I'm talking about) which got us an additional $2 off, making the cost of the shoes only $1!

Lol, I said all that to say I picked up these Guess sneakers regularly priced at $50 for only a $1, super awesome right? I had to share my saving story with my peeps and hopefully you're able to get a similar deal the next time you're in "the carnival ".
