I received products from Lee Jeans for this review. All opinions are my own. Jeans are a staple in many wardrobes. They come in a plethora of cuts, colors, and prints. They come looking new, worn and distressed. You can easily “dress-up” jeans or wear them casually. Either way, many people think of jeans as a must have. For this reason, I think Lee Jeans make great holiday gifts for both women and men. For my review, I received: Platinum Label Perfect Fit Stella Skinny in Indigo Mystic Read more [...]

I received products from Berkshire Blanket for this review. All opinions are my own. For Christmas, we are giving the girls items to update their rooms a bit.  They are getting to the age, were they choose to spend more time in their rooms. They need a quiet area to work on homework and they also would really enjoy having a designated reading area. So we have placed orders for desks and beanbag chairs to create two new areas in their bedrooms. I also wanted some decorating items to help make Read more [...]

I received products from Kidz Gear for this review. All opinions are my own. My girls love listening to music; they get this from their father. My husband can, will and does listen to music all day long. I on the other hand, seem to have a sensitivity to music noise. I can listen to music for about 10 minutes and then I start getting a headache. It doesn’t matter if it’s the radio, someone singing or musical instruments, my ears and head don’t like it. My new car has duel radios. Read more [...]

I received products from Ecco Bella for this review. All opinions are my own. About two years ago, I made the switch from traditional department store cosmetics to mineral based products. Not only are they safer for me, but I think they look better, feel better on my skin and wear longer. A favorite mineral make-up line of mine is Ecco Bella. Ecco Bella offers products that care for your hair, skin and body. They also have fragrance and cosmetics. Ecco Bella products are formulated in quality Read more [...]

I received product from Epiphanie for this review. All opinions are my own. A few years ago, my step-father gifted us a hand-me-down camera and three lenses. It’s a Canon EOS Digital Rebel Camera. I have no idea how to use it properly or take advantage of all of its abilities. The camera and its lenses look great. Even with my lack of camera knowledge and inexperience in photography, it takes nice photos. Early this fall, I decided it was time to learn how to properly use the lenses and Read more [...]

I received products from Socks in Stock for this review. All opinions are my own. One of our family traditions is to gift socks to each other every Christmas. I am not sure why my husband and I started this tradition. It might be one of those things that just happened a couple years in a row and we decided to stick with it. None the less, I really like this tradition. I think it’s nice to mix the needs and wants on our wish lists. Socks are one of those things we all seem to need each year. This Read more [...]

I received product from ellembee for this review. All opinions are my own. For a while now, I have been following a shop on etsy called ellembee. From the first time I saw an ellembee item, I was hooked. I was/am impressed with ellembee’s ability to take every-day comfortable clothing  and turn it into spectacular casual apparel. They “dress” these items up while still remaining true to the relaxed feeling. Ellembee offers hand printed hoodies, jackets, t-shirts, tanks, dresses, skirts, Read more [...]

I received products from Bob Books for this review. All opinions are my own. As I have mentioned before, my girls love reading. My older daughter began reading at the age of 3. My younger daughter is following right along in her footsteps. One company  we continue to turn to for help in teaching them reading skills is Bob Books. Bob Books was created by a teacher. She observed children and their needs when they were first learning to read. The children she worked with were between the Read more [...]

I received products  from Zoey’s Attic- Personalized Gifts for this review. All opinions are my own. Do your kiddos have any personalized items? Kids get so excited when they see their names on things like hoodies, t-shirts, notebooks, bags, etc. I believe it gives them a  sense of pride and the feeling that someone went out of their way to get something special just for them. I wanted to get my girls, ages 4.5 and almost 7, personalized pillowcases. They don’t know it, but for Christmas Read more [...]

I received products  from France Luxe for this review. All opinions are my own. Like many moms, I don’t spend a lot of time on my hair. I usually spend my time on my two daughters’ hair. This year, I made a vow to place more priority on my needs and wants. I was going to start dressing in flattering outfits each day and taking the time to do my hair. Gone are the days of lounging in sweats, yoga pants, hoodies and sloppy hair. Here are the days of looking good and feeling great! Right Read more [...]
