I received products from Green Koala for this review. All opinions are my own. When it comes to candles and skincare products, I love to get all natural, eco-friendly products. We now know that paraffin wax is a carcinogen and may cause cancer, and that many of the products in store brand skincare products also contain harmful ingredients. Luckily, Green Koala has a line of handmade candles and skincare products that are eco-friendly and all natural. Natural products from Green Koala would make a Read more [...]

Thank you to Enthroned Empress for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   Pearls are really an amazing.  Formed by the simple act of irritants, such as sand, getting inside the oysters body and the subsequent reaction.  To ease the discomfort, the oyster coats the irritant with layers of calcium carbonate and ends up forming the amazing iridescent pearl.  We were just learning about how pearls were formed in our homeschooling adventures Read more [...]

Ryan & I have both been self employed for a few years now. Neither of us have set days of the month when we get paid and my income sometimes varies a lot from month to month while his sometimes varies a little. We were a little unprepared for a few surprises that came with being self employed the first year. We've learned a lot about budgeting and managing our finances with an irregular income in the last couple of years. Here are my 5 tips for managing your budget with a self employed Read more [...]

Thank you to Bobux USA for providing me with the following products, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   With five young children, who seem to grow like weeds, someone is always in need of new shoes, clothes, or jackets.  It always amazes me at how quickly the kids advance and grow.  I love seeing them learn new things and experience all the joys the world has to offer but it makes me sad to realize that, before I know it, they will be grown and gone.  As I've Read more [...]

Thank you to OSEA for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Winter came in like a lion just a couple weeks ago and my skin can definitely feel the effects already.  Every Winter, I suffer from dry skin and patches that bother me as a result to the harsh elements.  The top of my hands and wrists seem to be the biggest problem area each Winter, as I assume that part gets exposed easily when my coat sleeve slides up as I focus my attention on our Read more [...]

I received a bag from Escama Studios for review. All opinions are my own. When it comes to bags and purses I can be pretty picky. I like to have quality purses, but I also like my purse to be unique and not something I'll see a bunch of other people wearing. Escama Studio makes truly unique bags, and best of all, they're made from recycled material! Escama Studio bags are made from recycled aluminum pop tops. A bag from Escama Studio would make a great gift this holiday season! I received the following Read more [...]
