Weekly Moment of Gratitude - The Blogging Anniversary Edition!

What I am grateful for:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blog-a-versary -  Ascending Butterfly was founded in 2009, and here I stand 3 years later, celebrating a Blog-A-Versary! Blogging has been more rewarding than I could have ever anticipated in so many ways. It's the hardest job you'll ever love! So this week I'm not only grateful for my blogging anniversary, but every single reader and follower, every single sponsor, every single brand ambassadorship, and all that I have learned along the way!

These three years have literally flown by, and I am super excited to think of what the next 3 years will bring.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Mental Health - I took a few days away from writing this week, and I am so happy I did. I did some wonderful stuff these past few days that I will be sharing with you, so I was literally still working, but taking a few days not glued to a screen certainly gave me some time to unwind!

What are YOU most grateful for this week Butterfly?

What are you grateful for today? I'd love for you to write in and share what you are grateful for this week. The more you say it, the more you speak it, and the more you live in gratitude, the more you will find reasons to be grateful for, and the more reasons that the universe will send you to be grateful for. So join me on this journey of gratitude and inspiration. And you can post here daily (even though my list will be posted weekly).

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Blade Buddy Review and Giveaway!

Happy Father's Day!  I hope everyone spent a fun day making memories with their Dad today. My dad passed away when I was very young, and I didn't get to share those great memories that most have with Dad like him teaching you to play ball, ride a bike or car, first dance at your sweet 16 or to walk me down the aisle (IF that ever happens, LOL). But I do remember my dad to be a very sharp dresser, and very particular about his looks! 

He was certainly a handsome man as you can see from the photo above! I'm sure shopping for him wouldn't have been easy, but I did come across something this year that I'm sure would have very much appealed to his practical side.

ABOUT:

Better Shaves. Longer Lasting Blades

Blade Buddy works with ANY razor and maintains the sharpness of your razor blades for months, saving you money, reducing waste, and eliminating nicks, cuts, razor burn and ingrown hair.


Reduce Waste

Two billion blades and their packaging are thrown out each year, resulting in two million pounds of plastic waste. Blade Buddy significantly minimizes the amount you throw away.


Save Money

The average consumer spends hundreds of dollars a year on razor blades. By extending the life of a blade from days to months, Blade Buddy reduces this amount significantly.


How Does the Blade Buddy Work

Every time you shave, the edge of your razor blade bends. Blade Buddy’s micro-honing grooved surface straightens the edge back into alignment.


How Do I use BladeBuddy?

All it takes is 3 easy steps. Watch the video below and discover how to keep your razor blades going strong.

My Take:

This is a perfect gift for both Dads and Grads (and moms too!), anyone who uses a razor for shaving will love the Blade Buddy. It's a great product for green homes and households looking for new ways to go green! Saving money, helping the earth by reducing waste in landfills, and getting a smooth, close shave every single time, what's not to love? And with summer and swimsuit season, it means no more ingrown hairs when keeping your legs baby smooth in your swimsuit!
