I turned 30 this year and with that came some changes to my life and my situation. I started a new full time job and found that I don’t have as much time to run my four blogs as I use to have.

This means I am going to be making some changes and though I hate to do it, I will be closing two of my blogs. Now here is the good news. I will be creating a new blog called Hollybeetells.com (not yet active) this blog will condense Savey Spender and my personal blog Everything and Anything into one. Why you ask?

Well, I would love to put more of me into my reviews and let you all get to know who I am. The new blog will cover everything I have on Savey Spender: Product reviews, book reviews, coupons and deals along with more personal things. I am currently single and have been talking about my dating life on Everything and Anything, I have also been reviewing dating websites so you will get a bit of that as well. I will still run many giveaways and redo the weekly giveaway linky to fit the new blog.

Savey Spender will come to a close on February 28th 2013. I will also be moving some reviews to the new blog as I have a few favorite products I would still love to share with all the new and old readers.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently started a new job in sales and you would think I would just need a few great suits and I would be all set, but you would be wrong. I work in furniture sales and with that comes a need to not only sell yourself as a trustworthy person, but as a person who knows style and that includes clothing fashion. So yes, I did go out and buy a few suits and I do love them, but I'm ready to jazz up my look a bit more and start getting in on some of those fashion trends.

This is why I love the new No nonsense tights and leggings They are not only comfortable and affordable, but so stylish. I have yet to find a skirt I like to wear with my new leggings and tights but I'm on the hunt and ready to go. What I love most about No nonsense is that you can find them anywhere! They can be easily found at food & drug stores as well as most mass retail stores.I know my local mass retailer has a ton of these on display and they come in so many colors and styles. I'm thinking I need to pick up a few more!

Did you know that Emmy award-winning TV personality and co-author is the New York Times bestseller "I Have Nothing To Wear!" Jill Martin is the new spokeswomen for No nonsense. She is not only a great style expert but she will actually be showing you and I how to wear the new trend of leggings and tights! I'm not sure how much she would love my outfit, but I really like it!

The following is a guest post.

Piecing together the right outfit at the right price can sometimes be a challenge. I have recently found myself browsing the Spiegel.com catalog, which has some really cute items! However it can be deflating when you realize that “must have” item is a bit over your budget. That is until I found some great picks that Spiegel currently has on sale!

The first items to catch my eye were these cute booties, Pieced Suede and Leather with a hidden-wedge. At only $99, when they were $219, I knew they would be just the things to spice up some of my old dresses. I am also looking forward to wearing these with my skinny jeans for more casual get-togethers.
 
Another item that I have decided is a must have is this Mini Messenger Bag in Pebbled Leather. Not only will it match my new booties, but I can have it for only $64, which is half of the original asking price! I also love to travel and having a bulky purse on an airplane can be a nuisance. This little guy is the perfect size to get through a busy airport and light enough to do some serious sight seeing!

Don’t believe me? Check out Spiegel.com and go to their sale page to see all the discounted items that could be just right for you

It seems that as a culture we are starting to look more and more at how other cultures do things, what works and what doesn’t and our products are starting to reflect that change. A great example is the Maya Wrap a simple cloth device that keeps your baby close to you comfortably.

I myself have not used this product, but when looking over how simple it is and how easy it is to use I can see myself getting one when I have children. I want to be a loving parent and looking into ways that I can get that done is something I am very interested in. I know so many people believe that holding a baby spoils it, but really many people who have been held as baby’s turn out to be very loving people who have great self esteem. It really depends on other aspects of upbringing that form a person so really I am loving this product.

To me it looks very comfortable for both mom and baby. It also allows the baby to be carried in the front or side easily meaning you can do other task while holding your baby. This type of system has been used in other countries and it does work really well! If a mom can use something similar and still go work in a farm field, this is something that every parent needs to look into! Want to know more about it, just read for yourself this review of the Maya Wrap.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Famous Footwear for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Are you looking to get your back to school shopping done quick and simply? Well with Famous Footwear you can do just that and get a great deal in the process. They have a policy stating that you can buy 3 pairs of shoes in 20 minutes with them and on top of that amazingly fast service you can also get a great deal with their back to school promotion a BOGO + 15% off Famous Footwear Coupon! So not only do you get fast great service, but you can also get a free pair of shoes and a discount!

There is a small catch, well at least if you want a better discount there is a catch. If you join their rewards program you can get 20% off instead ot he 15% off! Yes that's an even bigger and better savings! So what is the rewards program? Well, it's simple oh and did I tell you it's free?

FREE Rewards Program –

• Earn 1 point for every $1 you spend in-store or online
• Accumulate points to earn certificates up to $100 a year
• Discount offer just for signing up
• Other special inside discounts and perk

I'm thinking this program is a great idea. I love loyalty programs, they make me happy as I usually get a great deal, some free stuff or at least earn cash back. This program is really cool because it does give you so much and the extra savings on shoes is great. This would really help out people who have kids and need to save some cash on those back to school shoes, in fact I'm going to make sure everyone I know with kids checks this out!

Don't forget to print out that coupon before heading out to the store! It's only valid from 8/2-8/18!

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

I use to live in Texas and I would really love to go back. I lived in the Dallas area and really I never got out of that area to see the rest of the state, now though I'm thinking I may just have to head back and take a trip to San Antonio, somewhere I have always wanted to go!

With the SAVE – San Antonio Vacation Experience you can not only see San Antonio easily, but you get a great experience in the process. You can get more then $600 in savings for theme parks, animal adventures, top shops and historic tours, plus great deals on hotels. Really it's a great way to see San Antonio and be able to actually afford the vacation. Of course you want to also check out the Limited Time Offers for even better deals!

Me, I would love to check out the helicopter tour, and stay at a hotel in sea world! Okay, yes I am almost 30 and have never done that, my family was poor! So yes this is a dream of mine. You can also visit museums, stay on a ranch, the natural bridge ranch to be exact where I can save $2 on admisson and visit San Antonio's botanical gardens. Then I would have to head out to the market square where I get special discounts on my shopping trip. I would also have to hit up Six Flags as I have always wanted to go to the one in San Antonio. My first trip to a Six Flags was to the one in Dallas so I would love to make my third trip to the one in San Antonio!

Here would be my itinerary

• Day one: Helicopter tour and great hotel: Save: Discount on hotel and tour

If you take these bright colors and make paper spins and you can really create a major effect of fun at your next childs party.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Western Union for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you know someone who recently graduated? Do you want to send them a great gift, but are unsure of what to give them? Why not send them a Western Union gift card? Not only is money for any grad a great gift, but with Western Union gift cards you know your sending them money in a safe way.

Now, I know your thinking, why not just send them cash in a card? Well because cash is no easy to replace if it's lost or stolen. Checks work yes, but sometimes that recent grad doesn't have a bank account and more and more banks are not letting you cash other people's checks. So why not just send a gift card that they can use anywhere!
