Morning Commute Made Easier + Giveaway

November 30, 2015 | Ad-free, Giveaway

This post was sponsored by Contigo®, however there is a GIVEAWAY at the end, and I truly think this product is really cool and something many of my readers can relate to/find helpful in your daily lives, so read on!

My morning “commute” looks different than it may for some people, but I rush around getting everyone ready and in the car just those people that are heading to the office, except first I am usually headed to the gym, and then back home to my home office.

contigo

I am a believer in the power of coffee, and am not coherent or of any help to anyone until I have had at least a few sips. A lot of mornings I don’t have time to finish my coffee before it’s time to go, so I have to drink it on the run. This is always a problem, because I cannot stand cold coffee, and with my other travel mugs, cold coffee is what you get.

contigo travel mug

Not only cold coffee, but coffee that sloshes all over you and your pants as you try to get your bags and your child’s bag into the car. I started using the Contigo® Meta travel mug, and things have gotten way less stressful around my house when it comes to my morning commute.

meta travel mug

The first thing that drew me to this mug is the length of time it will keep your drinks hot or cold. This bad boy has double-wall vacuum insulated Thermalock™ technology, so drinks stay hot for up to five hours, and chilled for up to TWELVE hours!

My other favorite feature is the fact that it is pretty much impossible to spill my drink on myself while juggling bags plus the baby. The  AUTOSEAL® patented technology seals up the drinking spout in between sips when you press one button, so no spilling!

For those of you who commute daily on public transportation, the Meta travel mug would be perfect because you can seal your drink in between sips to keep debris, dust, people’s sneezes, and the like with the commuter-inspired CleanGuard™ spout cover that rotates to close off the drinking area when not being used.

In addition to Contigo’s AUTOSEAL® Metra Travel Mug, I was also sent the AUTOSEAL® West Loop Travel Mug. to try out, and I love it, too!

Contigo

The awesome folks at Contigo® have offered to host a GIVEAWAY so you can win one of these amazing travel mugs for yourself! Simply follow the Rafflecoptor directions below. Good luck! (Please note, the giveaway will be open from November 30th to December 8th and is sponsored by Sway Group. One winner will be selected to receive a Contigo® AUTOSEAL® Metra Travel Mug.

    I love pretty much everything Contigo! Their coffee mugs are the best for travel, and their waterbottles are my favorite! I’d use my new coffee mug to bring coffee to work with me (and have more than one coffee mug and not have to wash it every night!)

  5. Jen A says

    November 30, 2015 at 7:48 am

    Would love this mug to take to work. Coffee is always cold by the time i get to my desk.

  6. Paige Phillips says

    November 30, 2015 at 8:24 am

    I’m a teacher, so I would love a mug that would stay warm from when I leave the house through the first few class periods of the day.

  7. Jen says

    November 30, 2015 at 8:39 am

    my husband has just started drinking coffee and needs a great travel mug – this would be a perfect gift!

    I love contigo coffee cups they are my favorite! They keep your coffee hot and they have no spill! I can just throw it in my bag and everything will stay dry… Every coffee addict should have one.

  10. Pamela says

  12. Amy Reed says

    November 30, 2015 at 12:52 pm

    I would SO use this as my mornings are crazy! So the fact that it could keep my iced tea nice and cold for 12 hours would be amazing!!!!

  13. Stephanie says

    November 30, 2015 at 1:09 pm

    Would love this for my mornings. I am always carrying 5 different bags out and the autoseal would be amazing.

  14. Tara says

    November 30, 2015 at 4:01 pm

    I love this mug for when I’m running around school and forget about my coffee for 30 plus minutes. It’s always cold by the time I get it.

  15. Lisa Weidknecht says

    November 30, 2015 at 4:41 pm

    Since I must have coffee to make it through my mornings, I would fill it with coffee and take it everywhere!

  16. AER says

    November 30, 2015 at 5:02 pm

    This would be perfect for my morning commute! I drive about 45 minutes to my job as a teacher, but I hate drinking my tea while driving. I’d love this to help me keep my beverage warm when I get to school!

  17. Ann Fantom says

    November 30, 2015 at 5:14 pm

    I would use the Contigo AUTOSEAL Metra Travel Mug to take my coffee to work

  18. Annie says

    November 30, 2015 at 6:52 pm

    Actually, I’d like to win this for my son – who works A LOT. He loves coffee and this mug would make his drive much more pleasant.

  19. Brandy says

    November 30, 2015 at 8:31 pm

    I’m so the same way in the am- without at least a few sips you might as well forget it 😉 The problem is keeping it hot in the car and I have yet to find a travel cup that can do that! I would love to win and enjoy hot coffee not lukewarm coffee!

  20. Danielle u says

    November 30, 2015 at 8:40 pm

    I love it I’m a mama of two and live on coffee

  21. Kristin W says

    November 30, 2015 at 9:25 pm

    Love love love Contigo! Mugs and water bottles! I do not like when my coffee gets cold and I won’t finish it at all and would love a new mug to have in rotation so I don’t have to wash mine all to time. I also have a horrible habit of spilling my drinks on me so these are perfect!

  22. Sarah says

    November 30, 2015 at 9:39 pm

    Welcome to my life! My coffee is never warm by the time I get to it! This would be perfect to keeping it warm:)

  23. Allie says

    December 1, 2015 at 6:24 am

    YES! This would be perfect to throw in my work bag. Too many times I am carrying my son, his diaper bag, my work bag, water, and coffee. Having a cup I could put into a bag without it spilling would be perfect!

  24. John says

    December 1, 2015 at 9:28 am

    Would be a great give for my wife to use during the spring soccer season.

  25. Kelsey @ The Wolfepack Write Ups says

    I want to win it for my hubby so his water can stay ICE COLD throughout his entire rounds of golf! Thanks for the chance to win!

  26. Cheryl A says

    December 1, 2015 at 12:49 pm

    I would love to win for my husband. He’s always complain about spilling and cold coffee in the morning.

  27. Rachel says

    December 2, 2015 at 10:17 am

    I would take this with me and leave it in my car when I do my long runs on the weekends. I would LOVE to have hot coffee waiting for me when I finish!

  29. Nate Baustad says

    Toddler Spawn loves drinking from my cup, so I would keep this one at home so she can’t drink my coffee from it!! I can’t tel you how many times I’ve caught her sipping my iced coffee. #SIDEEYE

  31. Heather says

    December 4, 2015 at 1:09 pm

    I would use it at the office. I have so many papers on my desk stained with coffee!

  32. liz l says

    December 4, 2015 at 10:03 pm

    Probably at work or walking to my car from work- Geaux Saints!

  33. Vicki Lenz says

    December 5, 2015 at 2:01 pm

  34. tanya says

    December 6, 2015 at 9:52 am

    I am in need of a nice travel mug that fits into my cupholders! I love the colors and design

  35. Ally says

    December 6, 2015 at 5:41 pm

    It would definitely be a help on my morning commute, but more so while I’m doing paperwork. I have this serious fear of coffee all over my notes!

  36. Tessa says

    December 6, 2015 at 9:10 pm

    I could use this for my coffee on cold winter mornings to work!

  37. Megan Copello says

    December 7, 2015 at 6:19 pm

    I didn’t know this existed! We have Yeti’s which also keep your beverages hot but there isn’t any rubber around it to protect your hand, so I don’t like to put my coffee in it. I would LOVE this for all the commuting I do for work. Cold coffee is not fun. Plus I love the color combo on yours 🙂

    • Heather says

      December 8, 2015 at 4:25 pm

      I love the color, too!

🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 
There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
