What is Giving Tuesday?

As per #GivingTuesday website – We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

It’s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to come together to give something more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving. Join us and be a part of a global celebration of a new tradition of generosity.

What organizations, foundations or companies do you love?

My Top favorite are currently…

There are so many heartfelt companies making a difference!  I just visited Kickstarter and backed a small business owner looking to make a change in the world.  What ways are you making a difference?

I Heart Fall

I love Fall, the weather, the holidays, and special moments I get to spend with my family and friends.  Recently, I was on a bloghop for YouTube and found a series of videos on IHeartFall.  Vloggers were making videos with a series of questions they had to answer about fall and what they loved about it.  They would then tag their friends and ask them to reply to the video.  It sparked my interest and so my friend Shelly Aristizabal and I created our Google Hangout on what we love about Fall.  Here is the video below…

Let’s have some fun! Answer these three questions on a video! Share it here!

1. What do you love about Fall the most?
2. What is your favorite Fall comfort food/recipe?
3. Do you have a Fall promo or giveaway for your business?

Don’t forget to share a link to your web site!!!

Recently I was given the opportunity to review the Bouqs and I could choose any flowers from their online website to enjoy.  I chose the beautiful Desperado bouquet.  Have you ever ordered from The Bouqs?  I’m looking forward to ordering some fall flowers, the ones that I received lasted me 10 full days from bud to bloom.  My daughter and I even went for a walk with a rose and took some fun photos, you can see a few on my Facebook page.

Excerpt from The Bouqs website:
Tired of ordering discount flowers, and then receiving discounted flowers at a not so discounted price? Then say goodbye to disappointing flower purchases now. Welcome to The Bouqs!

And flowers that are much, much easier to order. If this sounds good to you then you’ve come to the right place (online).
With The Bouqs, you can choose your flowers by color, type, or most importantly, by sentiment.
