Bling Out Your Locker with LLZ by LockerLookz #LLZgirlz

Hope In Every Season has been compensated, both monetarily and with a gimongously generous load of products, as part of a campaign with Blueprint Social an LLZ by LockerLookz. All opinions are honest and are my own.

In high school, I always wanted to make my locker look super cute. I'd imagine painting it, putting up wallpaper, adding photos of my friends---maybe a mini fridge. Unfortunately, our school had rules about all that. No paint. No mini fridge. In fact, we weren't supposed to even use tape---but we did. I remember the last day of school, when we really just wanted to get out of there, but our last period teacher would be required to do locker checks and we'd have to scrape all that forbidden tape off the walls of our lockers. Not fun.

How I wish we'd had access to awesome locker bling like this line of products from LLZ by LockerLookz! Check out this massive haul of stuff they sent me to try out and decorate with! I think I'm goona buy me a locker for my bedroom---just so I can decorate and redecorate!

LLZ has such a great assortment of styles and colors that really give girls the chance to mix and match products that reflect their own personal style. They're fun to shop for and easy to put up. I know I'd have a blast decorating a locker with Lynzie if she went to school. Maybe I should get one for her room too!

 To get started, you want to line the inside and door of the locker with LLZ wallpaper. Each roll comes with 10 super strong magnets to hold it in place without getting adhesive gunk all over. They're super school-friendly---they would have gone over super well at Baker High!

There are two pre-cut panels in each package. They're designed with perforated pieces that fit perfectly around hooks, (like the green piece above) as well as the locking mechanism on the inside of the locker door (like this purple piece).

After you've got the wallpaper up, it's time to add carpeting and furniture! Check out this fun, shaggy pink rug! It's the perfect size for most standard size lockers. The Magnetic Locker Shelf has slide out sides that are magnetized so it will stay strongly in place. 

Don't forget lighting! The next step is to install one of these adorable chandeliers or lamps. They have a very strong magnet at the top and they're battery-powered, as well as motion-detecting! 

Finally, add your accessories. In addition to dry erase boards, mirrors, flowers, magnetized hooks, and more, they've got these super cute magnetic bins that work great for holding pens, sunglasses, cereal bars, you name it! I stuck one on my fridge so I'll always have pens in the kitchen. Perfect!

The original brand of high fashion locker decorations with the highest quality products, LLZ by LockerLookz can be found at Michaels, Staples, A.C. Moore, and Meijer.

Fruity Rainbow Cereal Treats with Kellogg's Rice Krispies #goodnightsnack #shop #cbias

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.

Is anyone sick of hearing me rave about what a great new life we have here in Arkansas? I hope not, 'cause here I go again! It seems there's always something fun to do and a new experience to be had. Last Saturday, Lynzie and I attended the Kellogg's Nighttime Cereal Cinema at Walmart in Rogers and had an awesome time! Eating cereal as a movie snack was one of those things I did in high school but totally forgot about. I was inspired to make these Fruity Rainbow Cereal Treats after seeing all the great options Kellogg's had for us to sample.

Before the movie started, attendees got their bowls ready at these snack tables that were set up. Kellogg's cereal is a good night snack for family movie or game time. Many varieties are healthier than popcorn or candy, so you can feel better about letting your family munch on it in between meals. I thought these limited edition "nighttime" boxes and bowls were pretty fun for the occasion. 

Other pre-movie activities included hanging out with some of our favorite spokesmen. Lynzie got this shot of Tony the Tiger and Spiderman chatting near these gigantic cereal boxes. 

There were a couple of gigantic cereal bowls filled with ice and water bottles. The kids had fun digging out their bottles with a massive spoon. How fun!


I was impressed with the organization and attention to detail. The screen and chairs were set up long before the movie started to gauge shoppers' interest, and there were even blankets set out in case it got chilly!

 There were lots of different cereal varieties to choose from---from Froot Loops to Frosted Flakes to Raisin Bran---there was something for everyone in these fun dispensers.

Lynzie's favorite part, of course, was her selfie with Spidey! He asked her how old she was. When she said, "Fourteen", he said, "I was fourteen once. That was back in the days of Mary Jane." Ha! Once the sun went down, the movie started and the good people of Northwest Arkansas enjoyed a movie under the stars. Have I moved to Heaven? Yeah, pretty close!

The next afternoon, I decided to try out my newest cereal treat idea. If you've been following the last month or so, you know I'm on a cereal treat kick. There's just so much you can do with a box of Rice Krispies! This one came from a friend of my mom's---though I've added my own special touch to the recipe---chocolate chips!

Fruity Rainbow Cereal Treats
3 c. fruit-flavored puffed corn cereal
2 c. Rice Krispies cereal
2 c. chocolate chips
1 c. peanuts
10 oz. mini marshmallows
16 oz. white almond bark

Grease a 13x9 in. pan and set aside. Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips and almond bark in a large bowl. Melt white almond bark until smooth. Pour melted almond bark over the cereal mixture and stir well. Stir in chocolate chips just until mixed. Press into pan and let cool until formed into bars.

Or make some Candy Bar Granola Bars for your next movie night snack---they've got Rice Krispies too!

I'd love to know how you use cereal for snacking. Let me know if you try any of these recipe ideas, as well!
