The more who know, the more traffic! The button/banner must be visible from the home page of your blog and should not be added to a scrolling widget.
  • You are responsible for providing a giveaway prize worth a minimum of $50 that will help mom relax. Please, NO prizes for animals (yes, there are moms in the animal kingdom, but this event is for human moms); and NO adult items (please keep it G-rated!). If you’re in doubt, please ask.
  • You are allowed to have a maximum of TWO prizes/prize packs so long as each is worth the $50 minimum.

  • You must post all the required info (intro items, links to the host and grand prize sponsors, buttons, disclosure, etc.) in your giveaway post.
Referral Rewards (aka RandR)
Since they’re charging a $5 participation fee this year, they are not only able to provide a cash grand prize (which all bloggers can also enter), but they are also able to PAY every participating blogger a Referral Reward (now THAT’s my kind of RandR!). If you are participating in this event and you refer another blogger, you receive $1. Refer 5 other bloggers and you’ll have earned your fee back. Refer more than that and you’re making a profit! Please say Savvy Shopper Central referred you.
Note: If you as a participating blogger drop out of the event, you will not receive your Referral Rewards (it will be added to the cash grand prize instead). This is to prevent people from joining just to gain Referral Rewards then dropping out.
Banners and Buttons
You can find all the Spa for Ma banners and buttons HERE. Even if you’re not participation, feel free to share one!
Help Us Get the Word Out
Why help us get the word out? Well, first of all, if you signed up, remember that you get Referral Rewards (read more about this above) for every blogger you refer. Second of all, we can use ALL the buzz we can get!

Review: Scentsy (#Spa4Ma Sponsor Spotlight)

I love candles. I love the gentle light they provide & to smell the great scents they can put off, but my four-year-old loves to blow them out. When I was introduced to Scentsy, I loved the idea of soft light, great selection of scents, and the ability to reuse them. No more throwing away holders, worrying about kids burning themselves, or my least favorite part of candles, a disappearing scent.

I’ve had my first full-size burner for about a year or so and still have my first 2 scent bars. By switching my scents out on a regular basis, I’m able to keep them smelling as great as when I got them. Unlike some wickless candles, these never burn away. Its so easy to switch scents that I do it almost every day.

Currently, they offer over 80 different scents and 3 sizes of warmers: Full-Size, Mid-Size, and Plug-In. I have a couple different full-size warmers as well as a plug-in. The different styles allow you to find something to fit the decor in your house or your personality. They also offer DIY warmers that you can customize!

I can’t wait to get a couple Scentsy Buddies for our house! Each Buddy features a zippered pocket to hold scrumptious Scentsy fragrance. Just insert a Scent Pak™ and bring your Buddy to life with comforting scent. I think the boys would love to have these as they still love stuffed animals & I can put relaxing scents in to help them sleep peacefully.

To learn more about Scentsy and their other great products, please visit Enchanted Rosebuds.

Check back on August 18th for a chance to enter Savvy Shopper Central’s Spa for Ma Pamper Pack, which will include a Tea Rose Plug-In Warmer & 3 Scent Bars, valued at $35 (Pamper Pack value is over $100). Don’t want to wait to enter the giveaway? Right now, Scentsy is offering 10% off select items (most warmers, bars, and sprays) for the month of August. Great time to grab a new warmer or a few new scents!

Sponsor Spotlight: Norwex (Spa For Ma)

I was recently approached with information about Norwex. I always love hearing about companies that are environmentally responsible and considered about the long-term effects of their ingredients on their customers. Norwex is committed to radically reducing the use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning to promote health.  More than ever we feel the need to emphasize the positive environmental impact of reducing chemical use. Even before trying a single Norwex product, I was impressed. How many companies today are focused on Integrity, Honesty, Truth, and Respect? Norwex believes “There is no compromise between success and doing it right.” 

Now, onto the products! They carry several different lines: Microfiber (household & body lines), Home Essentials, Kitchen Cleaning, Personal Care, Organic Personal Care, Kids Line, and Floor Systems. I love the Kids Line. There are 3 separate packages available that would help my boys keep their interest in cleaning.  The organic line contains products such as bath & shower gel, shampoo & conditioner, hand cream, moisturizers, and more.

To learn more about Norwex and their other great products, please visit their website. Kathy is one of my sponsors for Spa for Ma! You can also connect with her via Facebook.

Check back on August 18th for a chance to enter Savvy Shopper Central’s Spa for Ma Pamper Pack, which will include an Organic Hand Cream from Norwex, valued at $20.
