Big Reputation + Giveaway #FashionFriday

If you guys know anything about me, you know I love Taylor Swift.  The songs on Reputation are my favorite and have so many messages I think we can all relate to on one level or another.

I ordered this awesome logo sweatshirt from her store and a nice but chilly day and a trip to the Festival of Trees in Dearborn was the perfect time to wear it.  We had never been to Festival of Trees before, but we will definitely be back.

All of the trees are decorated by regular people with a passion for the holidays and a keen eye for style.  The trees are then sold to benefit Children’s Hospital of Michigan.  I am thrilled we brought home a mini tree with swans on it.

This year has been busier than ever (writing! baking! new furnace!) and it may be one of our only Christmas decorations.  We love it and the fact that it benefitted a good cause makes it even better.

Taylor Swift and Festival of Trees aren’t the only ones with big reputations.  G.H. Cretors also has a pretty big, and awesome, reputation.

They have been making gourmet popcorn since 1885!  And they definitely know how to do it right, making their snacks without GMOs and crafting an organic line.  In addition, their popcorn is certified gluten free.

Though I have purchased G.H. Cretors many times before (the Mix and Organic Chile Jalapeno White Cheddar are my favorites!), I was thrilled when they offered to send me some of their popcorn along with treat bags, ribbon, and gift tags so I could package up some popcorn for treat bags that are awesome to give to friends, colleagues, teachers, delivery people, and more.

Basically, it’s a great gift anytime you just aren’t sure what to give someone.  I bet a lot of you are just as busy as I have been, and easy gift options like this make the holidays that much easier, more fun, and less stressful.

My friends at G. H. Cretors have been kind enough to offer one lucky reader some popcorn.  One winner will receive 1 bag each of The Mix, Just the Caramel Corn, and Organic Chile Jalapeno White Cheddar.

To enter the giveaway, answer the question: What’s your favorite flavor of popcorn?

What a fun time I had @hyattregencygrandcypress fo What a fun time I had @hyattregencygrandcypress for Balloon Wonderland benefitting @gktwvillage last weekend 🎈 It was mesmerizing to see all the amazing creations as I was immersed in another world full of cuteness and color ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 As much as I love the balloons, my favorite part of the event was seeing the stars all around the exhibit with wishes written by the kids who have stayed at the Village. It's such a reminder of the great work the charity does. I can't wait for Balloon Wonderland next year, and you should keep a look out for it as well as other events put on to benefit Give Kids the World Village 🌎
