Sponsor Intro: Prep Obsessed

Today I am so excited to introduce you to one of my new sponsors- Prep Obsessed!
Prep Obsessed is a facebook jewelry, home decor, and accessories site that is run by two female friends- Corey and Nina.
how cute is this picture?
They operate via Facebook flash sales mainly on Sunday nights at 8pm EST and have special sales on items pop up throughout the week. Shipping is free and their items are so cute and reasonably priced- much better than any of their competitors! I purchased this Caitlin necklace on Sunday night for only $13.95!
I have seen this same necklace go for $20-30 at other companies, and Bauble Bar sells them for $36!

How fun are some of these other items that they have offered in the past?
anyone else singing "Red Solo Cup" now? just me?

In addition to their already low prices, Prep Obsessed is offering Preppy Girl Meets World readers 10% off any purchase with coupon code PGMW. Be sure to like them on facebook and show them some love if you don't already.

April Sponsors

Apologies for the late posting of this month's sponsors.Please welcome my sponsors for April 2012. Reade below all about them and their wonderful businesses. Some of them are offering special deals for Preppy Girl Meets World readers.

1) Kimmie Schiffel, Independent Scentsy Consultant
The lovely Kimmie of Full Circle Adventures has joined the ranks to become a Scentsy consultant.


scentsy

That is her furbaby Gabby pictured above. Kimmie loves candles but needed a more pet-friendly alternative to them when Gabby's poor little tail kept catching on fire. Since Scentsy warmer systems are flameless, they are safe for pets (and children!).

Mother's Day may be in May, but April is all about Moms! Be sure to place your orders this month in order to have them in time to say thank you to the special women in your life. Our Mother's Day Warmer of the Month and Scent of the Month, Cerise, are 10% off all of April! Cerise is an embrace of cherry blossom, fresh plum, and soft white blooms warmed by golden vanilla. This is a must have for Spring!


Last month, Kimmie generously donated 20% of all the sales from my party to the American Heart Association in my name. I am very happy to say that thanks to her generosity and my friends' love of Scentsy, $50 was donated to the American Heart Association!

While I can't officially say if there is a special or not, I can say that in the past, Kimmie has loved surprising friends who order from my party with fun treats. :)

2) Alter Designs
Alter Designs is an Etsy shop which is best known for Gretchen's adorable state charm necklaces. I have the New York State one and love it.
state necklace- available in silver or gold- $28
You can combine several different charms on a single chain to represent states where you've lived or went to school. You can also add an initial charm to one. A military friend recently ordered a necklace with the state she grew up in gold and all of the States that her husband has been stationed in in silver.

In addition to the State Charm necklaces, Alter Designs offers other fun designs like these wedding bouquet initial charms ($28)

and these Silver Initial Cursive Necklaces ($28)

Currently, Gretchen is offering all Preppy Girl Meets World readers 10% off any item in her shop with code PGMWapril.

3) Melynda Lemaire, Initials Inc. Creative Partner
Initials Inc. is a direct sales company that celebrates women's uniqueness with bags and many other personalized items. Unlike other brands out there, Initials Inc. never charges you extra to personalize an item.

They have so many wonderful products for both your home and personal life. My favorites are:
The Dish- $28
Insulated and sized to hold a 9x13 casserole dish. Perfect for bringing food to friends, potlucks, and picnics!
All Weather Blanket- $38
Awesome for picnics, going to the beach, or other outdoor events.

I'm getting this to hold my ever-growing collection of headbands and hair accessories.
Squared Away- $25
For the month of April, Initials Inc. is offering 50% off any Simply Social piece with a $35 purchase (yes, this includes The Dish!).






In addition to this wonderful special, Melynda is also offering any Preppy Girl Meets World reader who books a show with her an extra $25 in hostess rewards credits. To take advantage of this, simply contact her at Melynda.Lemaire @ gmail.com.

4) Silver Lining Decor
Silver Lining Decor is a gorgeous Etsy shop that features the most beautiful vintage jewelry that has been revamped and given a new life. Rachel, the shop's owner has a background in interior design and says that "I really love the idea of using a piece of jewelry one woman wore and cherished many years ago, and turning it into that special piece that the modern girl can love and wear today."

All of her pieces are bright, and springy/summery, and would look great with a Lilly dress or a cute sundress in my opinion. You really cannot pick just one favorite item from her shop. Try it, I dare you. You can't. Prices range from $8 for a cute pair of bow earrings

to $89 for a stunning vintage necklace with enamel flower.
Since I wear pearls pretty much daily, I am always on the lookout for cute pearl jewelry. This stunning necklace caught my eye immediately.
Pale Pink Rhinestone Flower Assymetrical Double Strand Necklace- $58
I would love to wear this with a pretty dress to a wedding or party.
5) Kustom Kissers
Kustom Kissers is a fun company that specializes in lip balms with custom labels. I have several of their lip balms with Preppy Girl Meets World labels on them and they are fantastic! The taste is great and they feel wonderful on. Like me, Heather, the company's founder, is a lip balm fanatic and decided that all natural lip balm was best. She then came up with the idea of making it pretty and letting people customize it.

The ingredients are: Soybean Oil, Sunflower Oil, Palm Oil, Olive Oil, Avadcado Oil, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Vitamin E, SPF 15

Aside from the taste, the other thing I love about Kustom Kissers is the fact that there is no minimum size to order. So you literally could order just one lip balm for yourself if you wanted to or as a sample!

Some great ideas for custom lip balm include gifts for parents or grandparents (or pet parents)

wedding or bridal shower favors
or using them in lieu of traditional business cards at conferences. (Heather used her lip balm as her business card at BlissDom.)

For the sorority collegians out there- you can even make up custom sorority lip balms and use them as bid day gifts for your new members!

Currently, Heather is generously offering all Preppy Girl Meets World readers 20% off their purchase of custom lip balm with code PGMW20.

6) Lemon & Line 
Lemon and Line a is a fairly new company on the preppy accessories scene. It was started because founder David spent his whole life growing up around boats and wanted to see a line of bracelets that was truly authentic to boating. The company offers several bracelets that are all made from boat sail ropes/cords, not to mention adorable to boot! All of the bracelets that Lemon & Line sells are made in Newport, RI.

I have several Lemon & Line bracelets and wear them constantly. They are great for stacking with other bracelets (I usually wear mine with my pink Hermes Clic H bracelet or my Tiffany bead bracelet) or can be worn on their own for a more casual look.


Lemon & Line is working hard to always come out with new designs and collections (including custom ones for schools and yacht clubs!).  Be sure to like them on facebook for fun contests and previews of their newest collections.

Thank you to all of my sponsors for their support of Preppy Girl Meets World and wonderful offers for my readers. If you are interested in being a blog sponsor for a future month or would like to know more about it, please email me at whaleflipflops {@} gmail{.}com for more information.

1) Kimmie Schiffel, Independent Scentsy Consultant
The lovely Kimmie of Full Circle Adventures has joined the ranks to become a Scentsy consultant.

That is her furbaby Gabby pictured above. Kimmie loves candles but needed a more pet-friendly alternative to them when Gabby's poor little tail kept catching on fire. Since Scentsy warmer systems are flameless, they are safe for pets (and children!).

Currently, the March catalog is chock full of exciting new products and scents for the spring/summer! Wellington the Duck, is Scentsy's current Buddy of the Month and would look adorable in someone's Easter gift basket!
Normally $25, on sale this month for $22.50.
In addition, Sunlit Morning is the Scent of the Month. Any products in this scent are 10% off through the end of March.


There are several new warmers and scents out that I cannot wait to try, but this is the item that I am the most excited about.
Heartfelt Full Size Premium Warmer- $35

As many of you reading this post know, I have heart disease and have had two surgeries in my lifetime. The warmer pictured above is a charity warmer with $5 from the sale of every warmer going to the American Heart Association. As most of you can imagine, this is a cause that is very near and dear to my family's hearts. (Cheesy pun not intended.)

Kimmie is generously offering Preppy Girl Meets World readers an amazing special for March.

I am hosting an online party with her and 20% of the sales from my party for anything- not just the Heartfelt warmer- will be donated to the American Heart Association.

2) Sweet Tea Paperie
Sweet Tea Paperie is an amazing stationery and gift shop that carries so many fun items.


It's hard to pick what is your favorite product from Sweet Tea Paperie since they have so many wonderful products at all price points.
Acrylic Catchall Tray- $19
This tray is currently on my wish list. I would love to get it to keep my daily jewelry like my Hermes bracelet in.

Obviously, the one thing I do not have enough of is monogrammed totes. Picture my husband groaning as I write this. If you are like me and seem to always have too many yet never enough tote bags, add this to your collection.
grommet shopper tote- $39
Monogrammed hats are a new product that Sweet Tea Paperie has started to offer.
monogrammed striped floppy hat- $32
These would be so fun for a beach vacation or the Derby.
Be sure to be on the lookout for a special giveaway from Sweet Tea Paperie!

3) Monogrammed Everything
As the name implies, this store is pretty much my idea of heaven! Monogrammed Everything has so many great items that would make great gifts for brides, babies, and everyone in between!

If you are going on Spring Break and still need a beach towel to take with you, don't worry, Monogrammed Everything has you covered. And they're on sale to boot!

4) Danielle Stage, Stella & Dot Consultant

Stella & Dot is a fun jewelry company. They have so many cute, preppy jewelry pieces at great price points. To me, the jewelry just screams party and fun. One of my all time favorite Stella & Dot pieces are these gorgeous starfish earrings. I have been wanting them for years now and this month they are on sale for 25% off.
starfish earrings- regularly $34, on sale this month for $25.50
I took it as a sign, and they are en route to my house now.

This gorgeous bangle would look beautiful alone or in a stack with other bracelets and would be so cute with a Lilly dress.

Kristin pearl bracelet- $16
Pearls and a ladybug? Some ASA needs to buy this for her little legacy immediately!

5) Alter Designs
Alter Designs is an Etsy shop which is best known for Gretchen's adorable state charm necklaces. I used to have the New York State one until it got left behind in a hotel somewhere by accident. Sad. It was adorable.
state necklace- available in silver or gold- $28
You can combine several different charms on a single chain to represent states where you've lived or went to school. You can also add an initial charm to one.

My personal favorite item though is this Sweetheart necklace with the adorable coin pearl.
sweetheart necklace- $24

6) Troop Paws

TroopPaws is a company that makes stuffed puppies out of military uniform fabrics. These puppies have a clear pocket on the front so that you can put in the picture of a loved one. These would be cute to give to a child or loved one while the service member is deployed. Below is the Air Force puppy. Obviously, we are partial to that one.

The stuffed animals are made in America. Proceeds from the sale of the TroopPaws go to the Folds of Honor Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity that works to provide scholarships and other assistance to the families of service members that are injured or killed.

The TroopPaws normally cost $29.99, but the company is offering Preppy Girl Meets World readers a discount. If you go through this link and click on the individual dog's picture instead of the buy now button, they will be $24.99.

7) Melynda Lemaire, Initials Inc. Creative Partner
Initials Inc. is a direct sales company that celebrates women's uniqueness with bags and many other personalized items. Unlike other brands out there, Initials Inc. never charges you extra to personalize an item.

They have so many wonderful products for both your home and personal life. My favorites are:
Take Along Caddy- $25
Perfect for organizing random things around your house or taking to the grocery store or on errands.

Awesome for picnics, going to the beach, or other outdoor events.

In addition to this wonderful special, Melynda is also offering all Preppy Girl Meets World readers 10% off their purchases. To take advantage of this great special- check out the selection from Initials Inc. then email Melynda at melynda.lemaire @ gmail.com and say that you are making a purchase from the Preppy Girl Meets World party and she will adjust the total for you.
