I received product from Lindsay’s Secret Closet for my review. All opinions are my own. Aztec print and fringe are two big trends this winter. I have seen both trends present in home décor and in the fashion world. For a while, I had searched for a special piece of clothing that had both of these trends combined. Then I found exactly what I was looking for at Lindsay’s Secret Closet. Lindsay’s Secret Closet is a fun trendy clothing store. Lindsay caries affordable fashions that can be Read more [...]

I received products from Heat Holders for my review. All opinions are my own. My husband is an explosive technician (no, this doesn’t mean he has anger issues; it means he blows things up). He often works in Eastern Oregon. This means he is exposed to the cold and snowy weather for long hours. He wears as many layers of clothing as he can, but he still needs to be able to function with the physical demands of the job so his layers can’t be bulky. I have heard him say that even with two pairs Read more [...]

I received products from Havahart for my review. All opinions are my own. Along our driveway, we have “flower beds”. I say “flower beds” because the neighborhood critters seem to think I have supplied them with a botanically decorated restroom. I googled how to keep critters out of the garden and came up with a couple easy to do tips. The first tip was to sprinkle cayenne powder around the area. The theory was that the scent of the powder would keep them away. Well go figure, after a couple Read more [...]

I was provided with products from Bootights for my review. All opinions are my own. I currently have a bit of an obsession with socks, specifically boot socks. While searching the internet for fun boot socks, I stumbled upon a company called Bootights by Shelby Mason. They offer a unique line of socks and legwear made specifically to be worn with boots. For my review, I received a pair of Darby’s and a pair of Essentials 201 Ankle Bootights. Bootights by Shelby Mason are legwear with an Read more [...]

I received products from ToGoSpa for my review. All opinions are my own. Like many people, I suffer from dark circles under my eyes. I think I have always had them, but having two young daughters has contributed to my look of being fatigued. Even if I wake-up feeling rested (which hardly ever happens), I still have that tired look. That leads me to applying concealer, foundation and powder every morning in hopes of creating a healthy and well rested look. I was watching a talk-show a few weeks Read more [...]

I received products from Swanky Baby Vintage and Swanky Lady for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters and I have a passion for boutique clothing. We love having unique apparel. When we found Swanky Baby Vintage and Swanky Lady, we fell in love with their clothing; it has a playful feel, is made with attractive textiles and has beautiful designs. I would describe it as having modern vintage look with a touch of southern charm…I hope that makes sense. For our review, Savannah received Read more [...]

I received products from ShaveMate for my review. All opinions are my own.   Have you heard about ShaveMate? ShaveMate is an all in one shaving system; it’s a razor and shaving cream in one convenient product. ShaveMate razors have a special compartment that holds and dispenses shaving cream. Isn’t that a neat idea? Now when you are traveling or going to the gym, you only have to remember your ShaveMate. For our review, my husband and I received a collection of men’s Titan Read more [...]

I received products from LUSH USA for my review. All opinions are my own. I have made a personal decision to use cosmetics with natural, botanical or organic ingredients. In researching companies that provide such products, I recently discovered LUSH USA cosmetic company. LUSH offers fresh handmade cosmetics. LUSH believes in making products with fresh high quality ingredients.  They strive to make unique products without preservatives and use Eco-friendly packaging. LUSH products are 100% Vegetarian Read more [...]

I received products from Minwax for my review.  All opinions are my own. I love DIY projects; however, my skills and patience are limited. I am great at coming up with ideas and starting projects. Then my creativity, abilities, and drive dwindle and the project rarely gets completed. It’s frustrating because I have so many projects I want/ need to get done. Last month, I was asked to review Minwax Wood Finishing Cloths stain and Minwax Express Clear Finish, I jumped at the opportunity. Read more [...]

I received product from Zing Anything for my review. All opinions are my own. Quite often, we have a salad with our dinner. It seemed odd to me that we would go to the trouble of preparing a dish with delicious fresh vegetable and then top them with store bought heavy dressings containing who knows what for ingredients. I decided to put a stop to the craziness by mixing our own dressings. Remember, I am not a great cook by any means. The only dressing I could come up with was combining extra virgin Read more [...]
