*I was provided with a Carhartt coat in return for this blog post. All opinions are my own. Since Ryan & I first tried Carhartt brand coats, we haven't went back. Here in Michigan, winters are cold and anyone who ever spends a more than a few seconds outside in the winter needs a high quality coat and that's exactly what Carhartt provides. I don't like puffy coats, so a huge bonus of Carhartt in my opinion is how thin they are while still remaining incredibly warm. For men, they make great 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 [...]

I received product from Arcopedico for this review. All opinions are my own. Last year, I bought my first pair of knee-high boots; it was love the first time I wore them. Since then, I have added a few more pairs to my wardrobe. I love how knee high boots can look dressy or can be worn with a more casual outfit. One of my newest pairs of boots came from Arcopedico. Arcopedico specializes in women’s comfortable shoes. They are lightweight and structurally designed for a woman’s foot. Read more [...]

I received products from Mixed Bag Designs for this review. All opinions are my own. My older daughter’s school just held a fundraiser. Like most schools, they were selling wrapping paper, jewelry, kitchen gadgets and candies. Most/all of the items were overpriced however, like a lot of parents, we purchased items to support her school. I began wondering what other fundraising goods where out “there.” Through a quick search of the internet, I found a company called Mixed Bag Designs. Mixed Read more [...]

I've always been a bit of an environmentalist. Ever since a young age, I've been worried about what we're doing to our Earth, and the problems it can cause. However, as an adult, I find it can be hard to be eco-friendly in the things I buy and use, especially when it comes to shoes and clothing. PONIC&Co. carries a line of eco-friendly shoes that you can feel good about purchasing and wearing. I was excited to be able to review some shoes from the PONIC&Co. line: I received the PONIC&Co.

I received products from Bittersweet by Design for my review. All opinions are my own. Do you read the “About Us” when discovering a new online business? I do. I want to “know” who I am doing business with. I love hearing how companies got their start and why they are in the business that they are in. I recently stumbled upon a business called Bittersweet by Design. When I read their “About Us”, I instantly became a fan. Bittersweet by Design got its name from the Bittersweet Nightshade Read more [...]

I wear slippers inside a lot during the fall and winter because we try to keep the thermostat a bit lower to save money. I used to changed into shoes to go and get the mail but now that I have dogs needing out multiple times a day (and I go out with them) it was a bit of a pain to take my slippers off and shoes on 5+ times a day. So I started looking for slippers that could be worn outside and came across LUGZ Laurel shoes which are soft suede on the outside, and fuzzy faux fur on the inside to keep Read more [...]
