What Makes You Great? Plus a Giveaway #GreatGrains

August 15, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 37 Comments

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

Hi Everyone,

Today my post is a little different than normal.  I usually post a recipe, but today I thought we could discuss why you are so great?  Don’t be shy, you know you’re a great person. In all actuality this is kind of hard for me to write, since I am not modest and I’m kind of shy when it comes to compliments.  But I thought I would give this a try.

Well what makes me great?  I don’t think I’m great, but I think I am a true and genuine person.  I try my hardest to be the best person that I can be.  I hold the door open for strangers, I always say thank you, I appreciate the small things that people do for me and above all I try to make people happy.  How do I do that?  By showing appreciation and gratitude!   Other small things that I do is smile, share a joke, try to cheer people up and my biggest thing I do to let someone know I care is bake or cook for them.  Does this stuff make me great?  Maybe?  But to me, this is life and this is who I am.

Great Grains Cereal


I teamed up with Post Great Grains Cereal to show why we are great.  They did a survey with a 1000 woman 40 and up about why they are great.  Here are some of the results.  I think these are remarkable.

  • 73 percent of women have reinvented themselves after turning 40.  In fact, 80 percent of women love themselves more now than they did 10 years ago, according to a survey by Wakefield Research for Post Great Grains Cereal.

  • As for those “learning experiences” along the way? Maybe they weren’t so bad after all.  86 percent of women agreed that their mistakes that led to failures were worth the learning experience

  • While it’s important for women to surround themselves with people who will boost them up, that boost doesn’t always have to come from friends and family.  When they need a good laugh, 59 percent of women would turn to their significant other.

Great Grains Cereal

While making my post I also did a little sampling of Post Great Grains Cereal.  They have 8 varieties of cereal.

  • Great Grains Digestive Blend Berry Medley
  • Great Grains Digestive Blend Vanilla Graham,
  • Great Grains Protein Blend Honey, Oats and Seeds
  • Great Grains Protein Blend Cinnamon Crunch
  • Great Grains Cranbery Almond Crunch
  • Great Grains Crunchy Pecans
  • Great Grains Raisins Dates & Pecans
  • Great Grains Banana Crunch Nut

I didn’t get to test them all but I did try a few, like the Digestive Blend Vanilla Graham, Protein Blend Honey, Oats and Seed and Cranberry Almond Crunch. I have to say, I thought the vanilla one would be my favorite, but you know what I fell in love with the Honey, Oats and Seeds.  It tastes like it is homemade. The wheat flakes and clusters taste like they are toasted and there are little almond slices and pumpkin seeds.  I love it on my yogurt or just grabbing a handful.

Great Grains Cereal

I am pretty happy with the variety of Post Great Grains Cereal, especially the Digestive and Protein Blends.  they are full of 5 – 6 grams of fiber, 8 grams of protein and contain whole grains that help support a healthy metabolism.  Score!!  Anything to whip up that metabolism.  🙂

One last thing I wanted to share with you is this video from Great Grains, which is woman sharing why they are great!  I love it and I think you will too!

You can also check out Great Grains on Facebook.

Great Grains not only sent me 8 boxes of yummy, good for you cereal, but they are also letting me give 8 boxes to one of my readers!

To win all you have to do is tell me why you are so great

Have a fantastic day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I am great because, I try to always be positive, and look at the bright side. Whether it is a situation, or people you have to see the good in things. I go to work with a smile every morning, and spread it to those I work with. I learned from my Mother, and Grandmother whom I recently lost at 94, that you have to live each day to it’s fullest. I have always said I hope to be as feisty as my Granny was when I reach her age.

  6. Angie Jerde says

    August 15, 2014 at 6:05 AM

    My greatness is due to the wonderful people I am surrounded with and family, especially my mother who recently passed away <3

    I feel great remembering the military service both my husband and I provided. Before retirement, we lived in so many different locations. Currently, I feel great about the community service volunteering that I’ve been doing.

  9. Susan Christy says

    I have such a hard time saying good things about myself, so maybe what makes me great is how humble I am. That and generous with friends and family and those in need.

  10. Jeffrey says

    August 15, 2014 at 6:49 AM

    I have encouraged my family to be exercise to be fit and eat right to stay healthy. We did a marathon relay earlier this year that included myself, my wife, two sons and my 70 year old dad. My dad probably trained the hardest, walking up to five miles a day while losing over 25 lbs.!

  11. Alice F. says

    August 15, 2014 at 8:56 AM

    I am great because I practice everyday the basic tenet of doing onto others as I would have then to do onto me. Basically, everyday I try to treat others the way I want to be treated. Am I successful 100% of the time? No, but I try everyday to be a little bit better than the day before.

  12. Kristen says

    August 15, 2014 at 9:41 AM

    The first thing I want to say. I love this post. This is harder than I thought. I know I’m considerate, positive, and kind, I show people I love them by making them their favorite meal. I like helping others. But really does that make me Great. I just look at it as being a good person. That makes me feel good. Thanks for opening our eyes.

    August 18, 2014 at 9:27 PM

    I am no where near perfect, but I try to treat everyone , without respect of how much or how little money they have the same, I am a natural caregiver, It satisfies me more than anything to know I have helped someone, it’s my calling in life, my friends and family say I do too much, but I feel I can’t do enough… it truly blesses my soul to give , time money small gifts, or just talking to someone who may be down at the time, anyway thats me!

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
