Shore-ly a Beach Beauty in Old Navy Beachwear!

Thank you, Crowdtap and Old Navy for our Beachwear Hosted Party... 
Shore-ly a Beach Beauty in Old Navy Beachwear!


As a member of Old Navy's Style Council on Crowdtap, I get to participate in discussions to give my opinion on Old Navy's latest trends and styles. I also get the opportunity to apply for sample shares and hosted parties, which Old Navy mails me coupons for free Old Navy clothes for me and my stylish best friends.

Old Navy Flip Flops!











Old Navy Swimsuits!






















I recently moved back to Roanoke for my job in mid-April, after living in Greenville for a year. My new job promotion has been absolutely crazy. I really have not had time to catch-up with my old friends yet. This shopping trip was the perfect excuse to make time for a nice evening out. I met my girlfriends Amanda and Amy at the mall after work on a Monday night. We had so much fun shopping together for Old Navy beachwear.

I promised the girls we didn't have to take pictures wearing our Old Navy swimsuits. That was the first thing they asked me when they arrived. Haha. But, you can see us posed below with our Old Navy beachwear. We had so much fun trying on swimsuits and catching up. Our boyfriends met us as we were done shopping. And, we all went out for dinner at Abuelos, our favorite Mexican place next to the mall. Excellent evening, with excellent friends!

For my last coupon. I mailed a set to my friend Jackie. Jackie moved away from Roanoke to Pensacola at the same time I moved to Greenville last year. She was our 4th person for the Old Navy Winter Bundle-Up Bash a year ago. When I told her about the coupons, Jackie was sad she couldn't join us. So, I thought this would be a nice way to include her in it. And, since she lives in Pensacola now, she is constantly at the beach.

 My Old Navy Picks:

Bathing Suit: Women's Geo-Print Halter Bikini

Ironically, Amanda and I picked the same blue polka dot bikini. And, I was shocked when Jackie sent me a message saying she also picked the same one. So, 3/4 girls ended up buying the same polka dot bikini. Amanda and I have been talking about taking a trip to visit Jackie in Pensacola. It's going to be funny when we're all three wearing the same Old Navy bikini on the beach. But, I guess great friends share great tastes... Right? :)

Beach Bag: Women's Multi-Stripe Straw Totes

I also loved the Old Navy beach bags, flip flops, and towels. This is my first Old Navy beach bag. I loved the "Cool Stripe" Straw Tote. Such cute colors, even match my swimsuit! The Chevron towel was also awesome. It was very soft with some more fun summer colors. And, Old Navy always has so many flip flop choices. I kept it simple with some plain blue flip flops to round off my Old Navy beachwear outfit. I'm feeling ready now for the beach and pool this summer.

My Old Navy Beachwear Picks! (Blue!)

My Old Navy receipt total would have been $76.26. Wow! It still always amazes me when I get selected for these Old Navy sample shares and hosted parties. They have all been such memorable events. Best of all... I've enjoyed being able to share free Old Navy clothes with my best friends. We are all very appreciative of the opportunity to have a free girls night shopping. Thank you again, Crowdtap and Old Navy! We love being Old Navy Style Council ambassadors. We're spreading the word about our love for Old Navy! :)

Try the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine!



Thank you, Crowdtap and Cottonelle for our Sample Share... 
Try the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine!

As a member of Crowdtap, I have been participating in Crowdtap's Cottonelle crowd the past few months. I have had a great time joining in Cottonelle activities, where I have learned more about Cottonelle's great products, such as Cottonelle's Clean Care Toilet Paper and Cottonelle's Fresh Care Flushable Moist Wipes.

 
I was excited when I got chosen by Crowdtap and Cottonelle for their "Try the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine" Sample Share, which included some great Cottonelle products for me and friends.

  • One 18pk Cottonelle Clean Care Toilet Paper (For me)
  • Two 4pks of Cottonelle Clean Care Toilet Paper (For two friends)
  • Three tubs of Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes (For me and two friends)

 
 
















  
My Cottonelle Sample Share Story!

I relocated for my job in mid-April, from Greenville, SC, to Roanoke, VA. It's easy to forget about things during the move, like not packing all the toilet paper. Oops!? There wasn't any toilet paper in our new townhouse the day we moved in. And, after the 4.5 hour drive, my boyfriend and I both were racing for the bathroom when we arrived. Uh-oh. What's a girl to do?

Never fear... The Cottonelle Sample Share package was sitting on our doorstop when we arrived in Roanoke. Not only was I surprised to see our first package, I couldn't have asked for a better housewarming package. I quickly carried the package inside and filled our 2.5 bathrooms with toilet paper before our movers arrived. Cottonelle saved my move-in day, which is a pretty awesome story.

When my movers arrived an hour later, we told them about the Crowdtap Cottonelle package. They had asked about the box when they saw it sitting in our kitchen. I felt better when they told me that people forget about toilet paper all the time during moves. We actually gave them one of the Cottonelle 4-Packs that day. I figured they could "share" the Cottonelle experience the next time they're moving somebody who forgets. It's the little things that can really make a move so much less stressful.

 

















Thanks again, Crowdtap & Cottonelle!
