The Bollstr - A Fashionable and Convenient Water Bottle Holder Holster and Giveaway!!!

(Image credits to The Bollstr Co.)
This giveaway is now closed, but I'm thrilled to announce that Becky Adams is the winner!  She has been notified and has 48 hours to contact me or I will pick a new winner. 
Becky:  Tough choice! I think is like the cross-body in Red Imber
Do you drink water throughout the day or know you should, but don't because it's difficult to keep a bottle of water with you?  If you had a way to keep a bottle of water with you, wherever you go and do, conveniently, practically, and attractively, wouldn't you consume more water?  

No worries!
Let me introduce you to the 
Bollstr-- a hands-free water bottle holder holster that comes in several great patters/prints and can be worn as a waist strap or a shoulder strap. While at a local health exposition, I spotted several people sporting these nifty holsters, was intrigued and had to find out more about them!  This product is very new to the market - only a few months in existence!  I could never explain their story like they do, so please take a few minutes to listen to their incredible story.

The Specs  I confess I only had eyes for the beautiful colors of the Meio fabric (shown in the above picture), but had a difficult time deciding between the Waist or Cross-Body design.  I agonized for 24 hours about it (far too long) and finally chose the Cross-Body design (and still debated whether I made the right choice).  Both designs are extremely comfortable and very well constructed.  The generous 50' strap is easily adjusted for an adult or child (even those of us with a little extra padding) An awesome feature is it can fit different sized water bottles and has velcro straps in the front to tighten as needed.  Because I have a larger phone, I sometimes put my phone in the spot for the water bottle and it is perfect!

 The Bollstr has two zipper (using heavy metal zippers, not cheap plastic ones) compartments in the back, perfect to fit your phone  (it would easily fit most smart phones, but the the iPhone 6 plus** or phones similar in size) and a smaller compartment to fit money, driver's license,  and credit cards in. There is a narrow long bonus "pocket" directly behind the water bottle pocket where you can store lip gloss, a pen or something similar. The designer said it was an unplanned pocket, but I love it!  I really appreciate that there is a water-proof liner to in the main water-bottle pocket and the small zippered compartment on the back, which protects your cash, cards, etc, from condensation from the water bottle.  There is even a grommet on the back, above the pockets, that you can easily thread your earbuds through and attach it to your phone, which is tucked safely inside the compartment.

**Upcoming design alert:   The Travel Strap Bollstr is larger than the Waist & Cross-body Strap Bollstrs. It will hold an iPhone 6 Plus and a passport (see blue chevron Bollstr to the right).  

Because I love it so much, I will be giving one Bollstr away, reader's choice of pattern and style, as listed on their website.

Look what came in the mail!

Dog was barking
Someone at the door
Rocking the baby
She's finally asleep
Please go away

Momma!  There's a package!
Oh Boy! 
What can it be?  

Everyone is gathered around
like fans swarming the stage

Yes!!!  It's my new Flip Video Camera!!!  
How did I get it?

Most of you may know, that four months ago, 
I began a journey of writing my Piggy Tales
Stories of my childhood
and I wasn't alone!
There was a whole group of ladies
We all had stories,
yes, OUR stories to tell
 They were our memories,
but somehow we commonly shared
some heart breaking, 
some gave us laughter,
some gave us tears
some showed us wisdom,
but onward we wrote. 

Those that finished all 15 weeks
were entered in a drawing 
for 1 of 3 prizes
I still can't believe it! 

Now, can someone please show 
me how to download videos?

Look what I won!!!

I couldn't believe it last week when I found out I was the winner of some great stuff from Big Binder's  Red Gold Give-away It with filled with all kinds of great goodies: 

A cool reusable grocery bag, 2 recipe books (one to give away), a die-cast metal truck, a CD (I've not had the chance to look at it yet, magnet, recipe cards, great canned tomatoes (it's going to make some great salsa!), the huge colorful tin (which I love) filled with shredded red paper (which Oldest loved).

I think I was dancing in the kitchen when the mail carrier brought it - kids thought I was nuts - it was like Christmas!  What a way to start the day!

Give-Away coming soon!!!

I'm so excited to participate in another Give-away! I'm working on the final particulars on it (this sure makes me sound more than a bit country doesn't it) and will post it as soon as it is ready. Want a hint? It is positively scentsational! On another note, I know I've not been posting near as much as I had before. We've had a small change to our family dynamics as far as schooling goes, and it is taking more time and energy from me. Yes, we're still home schooling/educating Only and Youngest, but I am now tutoring another student full time and by the end of the day, my brain just doesn't want to think or compose anymore. Please don't give up on me. I love getting your notes of encouragement! I'm working hard to balance new responsibilities and time management in this aspect, as well as feeling so worn out. Please be patient with me. I miss posting so much, but I am working on visiting other blogs I enjoy reading as well.
