My Coke Rewards - Helping the children in your community!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of My Coke Rewards. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

As a child in the public school system, it seemed every year that we had longer and longer school supply lists. Sad news was that it seemed we were shorter and shorter on money every year, as well. Often times we had to find a way to get the supplies we needed, sometimes going through the school, sometimes trying to find other avenues to help us.

When I heard of My Coke Rewards, I was excited to see such a great program in place to help not only students but schools to supply them with school supplies, sports equipment, books and much more.. 

If you are a parent, teacher or community member I encourage you to register with My Coke Rewards to start earning points for your school and community. If your school isn't signed up with the program, yet, you can easily do so by visiting their site at My Coke rewards for schools to starting earning and donating points to your local schools.

How does My Coke Rewards Help?
Not only can you donate your points to supply schools with much needed school supplies and equipment, but from July 13th through September 30th, Sprite is giving away 25 playgrounds worth $25,000. They're also giving customers who purchase and enter a valid code from any package for Sprite or Sprite Zero an entry into the sweepstakes to help their school win. In addition to all that, Sprite is giving schools an additional chance to win for every three points that are donated to their school.

HOW TO DONATE:
1. Purchase your favorite participating Coca-Cola product from the 15 brands participating.
2. Enter the codes at mycokerewards.com/schools to get points.
3. Pick your school and donate the number of points you would like to give.
4. Your school will redeem the donated points for rewards like athletic equipment, classroom supplies and more.

HOW TO REGISTER YOUR SCHOOL:
1. Identify a School Coordinator to manage your school’s account.
2. Go to mycokerewards.com/schools and click “REGISTER TODAY” to find your school and complete the registration process.
3. Once you’ve completed registration, start spreading the word and encourage parents to donate their My Coke Rewards points to support your school.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine.

With all the new cell providers these days, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with options when it comes to a great provider, great service and most importantly, great plans. My husband and I have spent many hours trying to find the best plan for our family and in our research; we’ve come across Straight Talk. Straight Talk gives you the ability to cut your cell phone bill in half without signing a contract, hook, line and sinker. How great is that?!

When we were given the proposal from Straight Talk, we were excited about the opportunity to share what we’ve learned and possibly help other families and friends save money on their cell phone bill. Imagine how much money you could save every year by switching to Straight Talk and cutting your cell phone bill in half!! What would you buy with the extra money you save every month? Would you put it away in a savings account? call a friend and invite them out for a nice dinner? I know everyone in America can benefit from saving some money right now.

Monte Carlo - Must See Summer Movie!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Monte Carlo. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Do you have a daughter, sister, niece, cousin, or other girl you just love to spend time with? You should call up that girl of yours and make a date to see the must see movie of the summer, Monte Carlo. If you haven't heard about it or see the previews you can check out the movie trailer, (below).

Grace (Selena Gomez) is an ordinary girl who becomes accidental heiress when a summer trip to Paris turns into the fantasy of a lifetime. One a dream vacation, Grace, along with her best friend and step-sister, discover that the greatest adventure is finding out who they really are.

Monte Carlo will be in theaters on July 1st and starting on June 29th, you can get advance tickets from Fandango. You can also like the Monte Carlo Facebook page to keep updated on all movie details and all things Monte Carlo.

I know a few young girls who would love to see this movie and it would be great to plan a girlie date and go to a dinner and a movie. What girl wouldn't love that? While I'm not usually a fan of teen girl movies, I am actually really liking the idea of this movie. It doesn't seem like a lot of the other cheesy teeny-bopper movies that are put out these days. It actually looks like a cute movie that any girl, young or old, could love.
