Happy Wednesday to all of my lovely readers!  Just because I really do think you guys rock, I wanted to give away one genuine freshwater pearl necklace from the Silk Market (aka Pearl Market) in Beijing, China.  I love these necklaces because you can wear them when you're dressed up or when you're just headed to the store...heck, you can even wear them when you're doing the laundry :)

Thank you very much to all of you who commented on the "Almost LEL" post.  I agree that the LEL is getting pretty big and I am having a hard time just keeping up with it these days, so....if I find a really good giveaway that has more than 100 entries but is worth it, I've decided that I'll just do a separate post.  I don't find them that much, so that won't result in too many extra posts!  That way, if you want to read about it, you can...if you don't, then you can ignore it :) Thanks again for commenting and for continuing to visit and enter these giveaways.  I know these bloggers appreciate it, and I do too!

** Here's a quick one that ENDS TODAY (only if you're interested!): $100 CSN gc w/ little more than 100 entries (I think we see the CSN stores one so much that we tend to overlook it, but $100 is $100!)

Also, I am going to try to post the Freshwater Pearl Fishline necklace giveaway by Wednesday.  It's ready to go, but I cannot find anything non-reflective to lay it on in our entire house, so I haven't been able to get a good picture.  Photographer I am not :)

And last, but certainly not least, PLEASE forgive me for how behind I am in replying to comments and emails.  It has been much harder to get the Shark over jet lag than I anticipated, and I have been a little ill due to lack of sleep.  I WILL respond to your comments and follow you back from the Blog Hops, I am just unfortunately SO behind.  Maybe baby will sleep some time soon and I'll be able to catch up! 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog...I really do appreciate that you come back here to read and share!

Blessings,
Steph

Office Depot has a sale on labels today!  You can get 250 labels and a free label dispenser for only $.99 plus tax!  I can't decide if I'm going to use mine as Christmas gift labels or as "this belongs to" labels for the Shark.  What will you do with yours? 

Go HERE to start ordering and enter code "854758859" to take $9 off your order, making your final total only $.99 plus tax shipped (about $1.05 or so depending on your state).

Thanks, Swaggrabber!

I've decided to divide my 4.5 months of Mailbox Monday list into different parts because there's just too much stuff :)

First up -- the freebies that I signed up for during the duration of our stay in China.  Some of these are full-sized products, though others are just samples.  I like to put all the small personal item samples in a small basket and we just grab what we need when we go on vacation.  I also have a snack basket for the food samples...it's fun because we've always got a variety of items to snack on!  These samples also come with high-value coupons quite frequently, and you can usually use those to get free products in the future too!

Full-sized samples
Redken Velvet (very excited about this--Redken products are SO expensive!)
Aveeno Stress Relief lotion
Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil
Pack of Stride Gum
Revlon lipstick
Earthbound Farms reusable tote
Reusable tote/freezer bag from Sam's Club
Gillette Fusion razor
Gillette Fusion Proglide Razor
Hot Prints photo book
Skein of yarn
Hue socks
No nonsense socks
Stouffer's Hotpad
Glade plugins plus refill
**Totally forgot to picture the MOUNTAIN of free mags I got!  The pile is as tall as my lady!

Smaller Samples
3 small packs of Tomato & Basil Wheat Thins
13 diapers of various kinds
Purex 3-in-1
Tide liquid detergent
Maxwell House Vanilla Caramel Latte Coffee drinks (3)
Hazelnut Splenda
Secret Clinical Strength
Supergoop Sunscreen & Sunscreen wipes
Trix cereal
1 photo coaster from ArtsCow
Aveeno shampoo & conditioner
Oil of Olay body wash
Pantene shampoo & conditioner
Lever 2000 bar of soap
Equivalent of half a pack or more of diapers 

Free product coupons
Fat Bay Ice cream
Lots of yogurt ones
McCormick Recipe Inspirations
Kraft Homestyle Deluxe Mac & Cheese
Kraft Olive Oil mayo
Suave Professionals Full Bottle
Kraft Cheesy Explosion Box
Genesis Today Goji Berry Juice
Any Sunsweet Product
Butterfinger

**Note** The best part about the free product coupons is that you can use them to get even more free stuff (and sometimes turn them into moneymakers) if you use them wisely.  I save them for Mega Sales at King Sooper's or for the times when Walgreen's offers $5 in RR for spending $25 before coupons.  It's worth it to sign up for these even for products you don't think you'll use -- you can always donate the actual product!  

**If you're new, you can learn more about The Low Entry Lowdown HERE.**

Anyone out there ever been to Oahu, Hawaii?  Ever been to Brent's, home of the Coconut Macadamia Pancakes?  Well, even if you haven't, you can try them at home!  I am something of a pancake connoisseur :), and I am here to tell you that these are truly the best thing I've ever tasted in my life.  Seriously.  I have a friend who HATES pancakes, and she will eat these. 

You could pay A LOT of money to have the coconut syrup shipped from Hawaii.  Or, you could do-it- yourself at home!  There's an easy version and a difficult version...I'm going to give you the easy one :)

Ingredients:
shaved coconut
crushed macadamia nuts
white granulated sugar
coconut extract
half and half
karo syrup


Part A: The Pancakes

There are many different ways to make the pancakes - you can use Bisquick, Krusteaz, or make them from scratch.  All you need to know is that you should pour the batter as you usually would and then sprinkle some coconut and crushed macadamia nuts on the pancakes before flipping them so the ingredients bake inside. 







Part B: The Coconut Syrup

The syrup is what makes these pancakes the amazingness that they are!  The best part is that it is SIMPLE to make!

Step 1: Combine 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup light Karo Syrup in a pot
Step 2: Boil (low to med) until sugar is dissolved (will be clear)
Step 3: Remove from heat and add 1 cup of half and half and 1 tsp of coconut extract
Step 4: Serve warm over coconut mac pancakes {store in refrigerator after use}

So--there you have it!  Super easy and SUPER AMAZING, DELICIOUS, WONDERFUL, LIFE-CHANGING!  Hope you enjoy :)

Blessings,
Steph

Amazon.com is at it again!  Enter these two coupon codes -- HDNATION and FILMRIOT -- for a total of $6 in credit on your Amazon.com account (each code will give you $3 credit).  These credits can be used toward any movie or TV show in the Amazon Video on Demand store. 

**Note**  The original idea to help others out by retweeting their tweets is not mine :)  You can check out www.empoweringmommy.com for the inspiration behind this.  She has a Tuesday Meme called Tweet it Out Tuesday where she talks about this.  I am not trying to start a meme like hers.  I just wanted to let my readers know that I'd be more than willing to help in this way!  Thanks :)

Just wanted to let you guys know that I will be happy to retweet your low entry giveaways (or special posts) for you.  Just add @asthepotter to the ones you want me to RT so I'll be sure to see them, and I will erase that part before retweeting it for you!   I think this is a great way to help each other get more exposure for our giveaways and special posts.  If you'd be willing to help others out with this too, just leave a comment on this post with your Twitter ID.  Just in case you're afraid you'll get inundated with tweets, I'm talking about maybe once a day or less, so it shouldn't be too unmanageable :)

Hope you're having a GREAT Saturday!

Blessings,
Steph

Happy Saturday!  I just wanted to let you know that I did a guest post on a little bit of life in China and why we came home.  You can find it HERE at the Tuckers Take Tennessee if you're interested :)  It says guest blogger Asthepotter, which is my Twitter ID.  I should have chosen one name for everything, but instead I have about 50 different names online...genius ;)

Blessings,
Steph
