Sponsored Post: ZzzQuil Nights Challenge

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

Let's be honest. I'm a little stressed and not getting a lot of sleep. When I am ready to go to bed, I lay awake thinking of my to-do list. I've always been a little like this, but the impending wedding seems to have dramatized things a bit. I literally lay in bed FOREVER before I fall asleep ticking through schedules and running through tasks.

Y'all know where this is going. Sending a sample bottle of ZzzQuil to a sleep-deprived bride is like dangling a peanut butter spoon in front of our Boston Terrier. Must. have. it. now.

I've used ZzzQuil on a few nights (maybe 4 in total) and here are my thoughts:

1.) I'm leery of sleeping aids overall, mainly because many seem to be the brainchild of a strange, unfamiliar brand so when I learned ZzzQuil is actually made by Vick's (NyQuil….ZzzzQuil… get it?) I was totally onboard. I just felt better knowing the product comes from a brand with a lot of clout.

2.) They called me a "Talented Blogger." Bonus points.

3.) This magical syrup rocked me to sleep right on time. The first time took a little bit because I kept asking myself, "Am I drowsy? Is this drowsy? Is it working yet?" but once I stopped thinking about it, we were all good. The remaining nights I was out like a light.

4.) No grogginess the next day. On one night in particular I went to bed late (2ish) and had to be up early (7:30ish) and was so worried about being drowsy in the AM. Nope. My mind felt clear. Phew.

 

 

For those of you who take Tylenol PM or NyQuil for the sleepytime affects but have no other symptoms otherwise, give ZzzQuil a shot. You'll be impressed.

You can like ZzzQuil on Facebook or give them a shout out on Twitter using #ZzzQuilNight.

You know how I'm getting to sleep tonight. ;)

Sponsored Post: Win the CB2 and Novogratz Brasil Getaway!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of CB2. All opinions are 100% mine.

It took me two seconds to get excited about this partnership – CB2 (Crate & Barrel's more hip, sister store) and Novogratz (the genius design duo/huge family with whom CB2 often partners… whom I actually met at the YHL book signing) was mentioned in the email subject. And given my current love affair with Crate & Barrel (they have been so helpful throughout the wedding planning process), this opportunity was a solid yes. 

(Above) Courtney & Robert Novogratz at their home.

Here's the deal: Robert and Courtney Novogratz are coming up with an entire new collection for CB2 on May 2. And it's good. Real good. Think bright rugs and neon lights…but mixed with warm, luxe woods. Yum. And the prices are good. The new CB2 and Novogratz Collection is inspired by their vacation home in Brasil (or just "Brazil" if you're a Midwesterner like me).

And this post is not just about their collection, but about a giveaway! CB2 and Novogratz are giving away a trip to their Brasil vacation home for you and 3 of your friends for a WEEK. Where in Brazil? The beautiful Trancoso, Brasil.

Before we talk the CB2 and Novogratz Brasil Sweepstakes, let me show you the goods.

The "Tudo Bem" neon light – I want this!! "Tudo Bem" is Portuguese for "How's it going?" or "What's up?"

The "Luli Lamp" – This would look so cute in a nursery!

The "Robert and Courtney" bookends are little hunks of lucite (or acrylic) awesomeness.

And that's just a a little snapshot. It's all good – very bright, fun and Brazilian. :)

 

Let's get back to the sweepstakes, shall we?

CB2 and Novogratz aren't just giving away a trip to Brasil. 10 other lucky winners will get a $100 CB2 giftcard and an autographed copy of Robert and Courtney's book, "Home by Novogratz."

To enter, go here. The sweepstakes will run from May 2nd through June 3rd.

 

And if you feel so inclined, follow CB2 on Twitter (@CB2Tweets), Pinterest (CB2) and Facebook.

Good luck!

I get to enter this one as well. I'm going for it!

Spring styling…

My bedroom has been feeling a little on the blah side to me lately. Maybe it’s because the last time I changed it up was in winter? Here’s where it’s been:

Emily Snuffer

Focus special attention on the cabinet in the back corner. Lots of the spring styling happened right there. It now looks like this…

Emily Snuffer

How about we scootch back just a tad…

Emily Snuffer

Ok… a little more….

Photo sucks…. sorry…

Basically, just a lot more color. I seem to be obsessed with yellow, orange and pink lately (it’s all over the wedding, too) so of course I had to bring some of the same into the bedroom. Much more springy!

And did you notice my lovely brass light clip attached to my bed?

Emily Snuffer

It’s the Land of Nod clip light. Quite possibly the cutest clip light/lamp in all the land. This one….

Emily Snuffer

That clip light will run you $60 in stores and online. I found it at their outlet for $15. YES. Wait until you see the office makeover (workin’ on it)… it’s like the Land of Nod lighting section blew up in there.

Anyways, the other side of the room has looked like this ever since I upgraded the front of my MALM with PANYL.

Emily Snuffer

The record player drives me crazy because there’s just no good way to set up without taking up the entire top, but I did do some major simplification. It now looks like this…

Emily Snuffer

Better, right? Same amount of junk, just doesn’t look as junky. The key was resting the speakers on the window ledge behind the dresser. It keeps them out of sight, which I love.

And yes, that is a fiddle leaf fig mini tree. IKEA has them for 12 bucks. I now feel like a real shelter blogger. I hope I don’t kill it. I don’t want to lose my blogger street cred. :)

I also rolled the DIY pom pom shade way up. It’s a huge window and I never realized how much of it I was covering up (thus keeping the room dark nearly all of the time) with the shade pulled all the way down. It’s much better now, although now I need to watch for neighbors when I’m getting dressed in the morning.

That’s it for now. Are you guys springifying your homes too? Are you like me and just slap a plant and some colorful accessories somewhere??

xo,

emily
