Disney Side @Home Celebration

I was selected to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration party and received this WONDERFUL package full of goodies to host my party with! (totally awesome, right?!)



The party kept getting pushed back but I finally had it at the end of February. I thought that I had already written the blog post but was reminded that I didn't when my friend, Corky, who took the pictures for the party, let me know that she was STILL working on getting those pictures to me. Grrr! (which I will upload and share hopefully this week once she sends them to me)

We had a pretty big party and invited about 35 people all together. We tied it in with my younger sister's birthday party (who is a HUGE Disney fan) so it was perfect timing! :) I used the cookie cutters and cupcake liners to make the desserts for the party and boy were they a huge hit!! They were gobbled up immediately. Must be because they turned out just so darn CUTE! All of the decorations were much appreciated and really helped everyone get in the Disney state of mind.

I used the cell phone case as a prize giveaway and handed out the Craisins, photo packs, bracelets, and other goodies to the guests when they were leaving. All of the kids left with a goodie bag, too! I bought some extra Disney themed items to go in the bags. Cute pencils, stickers, erasers, and other small toys!

We shared our experiences visiting Disney theme parks and really had a blast! There were many attendees that never visited any Disney parks before so the experience for them was extremely helpful! We were able to talk to them about what to expect, costs, what there is to do there, etc. It was a blast getting to share my love with Disney with everyone else. It is incredible how many stories everyone had to share about their own personal experiences with Disney, whether it be family vacations or just having a favorite movie. :)

Thank you so much for inviting me to host this party and check back for those pictures soon. (that means get on the ball, Corky!!!!!!!! lol)

Add a personal touch of style to your home.

A completely new bottle and design with rich colors lets you proudly display your favorite scent throughout your home.

I received two bottles of soap to try (Water Blossoms and Coconut Lime Verbena) and loved them both. Both were very refreshing and the fragrance lingered on my hands for a long time after washing. I absolutely loved how soft & smooth my hands felt after using this soap. The lather was gentle on my skin and washed away all dirt. The micro-scrubbers were awesome and really helped get my hands squeaky clean. I have been a Dial soap user for YEARS and will absolutely be buying these products regularly, as long as I can find them. My only complaint is the availability. I was only able to find these soaps at ONE Walmart store. I visited several Walmarts as well as CVS, Walgreens, and Food Lion and no one else carried them. I have yet to see the Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar scent in any store. I will keep my eyes out for that one as it sounds right up my alley! :) The bottle design is great, too. Very sleek & stylish! For $1.97 a bottle (Walmart's price), I really feel like you are getting a steal!
