One point tip of the day- I should take my own advice

As I get ready to depart on my free trip that I won- yes I am a winner- to Disney World, I leave you with a one point tip of the week. I am positive that I will not be following my own advice as those delicious mickey ice cream bars are at least the points for 2 days. I will try to convince myself that all the walking I will be doing cancels it out, but seriously...who am I kidding.

My one point tip is a super yummy cocolate pretzel blast mini treat bar made by WW. I bought them at a meeting site for $5.00. That was the sale price. There was a good amount in the box and it did hit the chocolate spot nicely. They were like a mini watchamacalit - old school candy reference.

Enjoy!

One point tip of the week

Here's another one point tip of the week for everyone. If you are a breakfast lover then this one is for you.

Try Thomas' light , multi grain english muffins. Only 1 point which is less than a weight watchers bagel. Add some peanut butter or an egg white and there's your protein and your ready to roll.

Mama always said breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

New Contests from the sweepstakes Queen

I have'nt updated all the newest Disney/Florida related contests in a while so here are some new ones. These are all Florida related in some way, but with the gross Winter approaching I'm sure you'd all appreciate some time in the sun.

My trip that I won is actually coming up in two weeks so there will be much to discuss about that afterwards. What kind of Queen would I be without an actual win?

MAC meet Disney..Disney meet MAC. Two of my fave things!

The geniuses at MAC have decided to combine two of my favorite things assuring that I must buy their entire new collection. The new Disney Venomous Villains Collection launches September 30th and it looks fabulous!

It's an homage to all the lovely and heavily made up villains that Disney has featured over the years. No princesses to be found here, just the witches that torture them. Love it...
