Where have we been?



Many of you may have notice that my blog was not working properly or even appeared for the last almost week,Why? I am in the process of switching my blog to a domain after I discussed the topic with a new sponsor of mine I decided to go for it because it seems like a good step for my blog, But what I didn't know is that google/blogger is currently going through a "Glitch" phase any new domains bought during this month haven't been working properly to say the least.

 My blog ran smooth & perfect while still under a blogspot.com name once my payment for a custom domain was sent my blog first had issues with certain links loading which didn't seem like a huge deal at the time. While clicking on the "View my blog" from the blogspot dashboard it brought up a little notice letting you know blogger was working on transferring the blog to its custom domain & it would be visible to everyone in three days again I didn't have an issue with it. About four days after purchasing my new domain I got online to post a new blog post & go about my daily routine upon visiting my blog I found a "404 ERROR" link/website not found in our system sorry please check again I was heart broken, My blog was gone invisible to the world even to myself for almost a week. During this time I felt helpless I didn't know what to do so I tried contacting blogger about the issue which is when I found out they have no phone number they can be reached at & they do not accept direct emails from their customers they just had a forum/chat board for blog and site owners to lend a hand to each other if possible,I found not only was my blog "Missing" from the world but a few dozen other blogs/site owners were having the same issue.

As you can see I was finally able to get my blog back online it finally let me switch from the custom domain back to a regular blog,The custom domain still isn't working so until blogger can fix the issues with the domains I will be sticking with my regular blog! I am sorry to anyone who tried visiting my blog but had a issue with it loading.

Candle Warmers Ect. GIVEAWAY & Review



Having kids & animals sometimes means you will run across an unpleasant smell or two throughout the week but a company called Candle Warmers Ect. is here to help! Candle Warmers, Etc. commitment to enhancing the home with affordable and safe candle warmer appliances and accessories has contributed to its success with several varied product lines.  Among the Candle Warmers, Etc. product categories are:  traditional plate candle warmers, candle warmer lamps and lanterns, the Jamie Clair line of wicked/wick-less candles, candle warmer lamp accessories.For a recent review I received one of their Ceramic Candle Warmer & Dish sets in sandstone,a Plug In Fragrance Warmer called round moss & a package of Jamie Clair Wax Melts in the scent Raspberry Cream.



You could smell the Raspberry Cream wax melts right through the package they smelled quite lovely & had a strong scent to them which meant they are perfect for filling two to three rooms with the smell without having to have more than one burner going. I enjoy how small the Ceramic Candle Warmer & Dish set is it blends into my kitchen without getting in the way or taking up too much room,while still making my kitchen & living room smell wonderful. I think the Plug In Fragrance Warmer is perfect for a high traffic hall way or bathroom when guests are over. I found that only one to two chunks of the wax melts were perfect for the candle warmer and one chunk was good for the plug in warmer. I have enjoyed using my wax warmer set & I look forward to using it more as the holidays grow closer,I think that the melts can offer a wide range of holiday scents to spread through out my home without having to actually cook the food that delivers the smell. Shipping was fast everything arrived in perfect condition,Customer service is friendly,Prices are great & the products are worth the purchase. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Gem Ceramic by Etienne Perret GIVEAWAY

I like wearing jewelry but in order for me to want something as part of my Jewelry collection it has to be unique & that is exactly what Gem Ceramic by Etienne Perret offers. With 40 years of experience creating the finest bridal and fashion jewelry set with colored diamonds and South Sea pearls in Platinum and 18kt gold, Etienne Perret now brings you his exciting new Gem Ceramic collection.Ultra-durable and stylish, versatile and unique, Gem Ceramic is the perfect alternative to precious metal jewelry at a fraction of the price. Available in a variety of colors of styles, Gem Ceramic can be inlaid with gold and set with diamonds or pearls.



For a recent review I was sent a 4mm Dome black polished Ceramique ring,The specific kind of ceramic that Etienne is designing with is made out of is called zirconia ceramic, mined in an ecologically friendly manner from the relatively abundant zircon sands of Australia. It is an amazing material and a perfect, stylish, low cost alternative to traditional gold and platinum bridal jewelry designs and great for both men and women! I originally was going to give this ring to my husband to wear but I have to admit once it arrived I found I like it too much to do that. The ring fits great because of the polished finish it slides right onto your finger & slides right off when you are ready to take it off,You might think because you can put it on & take it off easily that it might fall off your finger right? That is actually very untrue the ring has a snug fit around the finger without fitting too tight. What is my favorite thing about the ring? Since it is made from ceramic I can wear it while I shower or wash my hands without having to worry about my finger turning green or the ring rusting. The ring is also very durable I work as a cashier which means I use my hands constantly & they do get hit up against hard objects a lot while working I have never once had a fear that this ring was going to break,chip or get any scratches. I like thinner rings that don't take up a large portion of my finger so I was happy that I was able to choose my own width for the ring it turned out perfect! Looking through the website there are dozens of gorgeous & unique rings that range in color,size,style & material the best part is they can all be made to personalize you! Shipping was fast,customer service is friendly & family ran.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Gem Ceramic by Etienne Perret for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****



PRIZE ALERT: Gem Ceramic by Etienne Perret has agreed to give One lucky winner a Dome Style ring like the one I received. [Winner gets to pick from 4, 6 or 8mm, in black, white, pink, blue or chocolate, with polished, silk or brush finish, in whatever size they need].

Titanium Buzz GIVEAWAY & Review



When looking for a ring I always make sure to take how durable & sturdy they are into consideration. I do a lot with my hands so a ring that breaks easily isn't something I am interested in buying so I was quite excited to receive the chance to review a Flat Titanium Ring with Three Stripes from a company called Titanium Buzz.



Item description "This ring shown is 7mm in width and is made from durable titanium. The design shows 3 equal sections with small grooves carved into a flat profile ring. Done here in a polished finish but you can certainly change that to your liking as well" The ring arrived fast & in a very nice black ring box perfect for presenting it as a gift. When ordering this ring you get to choose not only the ring size but the width & finish of the ring,You can include an engraving as well which is always nice if your shopping for a promise ring or wedding ring. This specific ring I can see be more targeted towards males but females can wear them as well,The ring fits onto the finger nicely & has rounded edges which prevents it from snagging on clothing. This ring is very sturdy if your husband works with his hands a lot & frequently ends up hitting the back of his hand while working the ring will be perfectly fine. In the past I owned a ring that wasn't the most well made ring when my hand collided with the register on work on accident the rings gem popped out & the ring didn't have smooth rounded edges like the Titanium Ring with Three Stripes does & it ended up cutting into my finger leaving me with a nasty cut for two weeks. Needles to say I am very happy with this ring & I love their large selection of ring designs.I have enjoyed working with Titanium Buzz they have friendly customer service,fast shipping & their website is easy to navigate.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Titanium Buzz for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****



PRIZE ALERT: One lucky winner will receive a Flat Titanium Ring with Three Stripes [first ring pictured above] in their choice of size. Retail value: $100

Ugglebo Review & GIVEAWAY



I am very excited to say I have a very cute new pair of shoes,Normally I am very picky about what shoes I will buy & wear but as soon as I seen these Sulu Wedges in Black by Ugglebo I knew I wanted to own a pair! Just by looking at how cute these high heel wedges are you know why I was excited to receive a pair. Ugglebo Clogs is the Swedish Clog company that focuses on providing the most beautiful traditional Swedish clogs, high-fashion clogs and clog boots for women in the footwear industry. They started making wood clogs during the 1960’s and 70’s when fashion was reaching new heights that were never before seen and we’ve stayed true to the evolving fashion trends in the years to follow! We craft our footwear using the finest leathers, wooden bases, and metal hardware available throughout the world.



Here is the description of the shoes from the website "The Sulu Wedge Swedish clogs are a testament to one of the big fashion trends for this spring and summer. With their high wedge heels and lush nubuc leather, these wood clogs will elevate you far above most other mules and clogs for women this season. In the Sulu Wedges, you are not only ready for the beach, you are ready for anything.Ugglebo's Sulu Wedges come on a high Spanish pine wood bottom, and the leather is fastened with nailheads, giving the mules a fashion-forward look.The Sulu Wedges come in two different colors: Black and Marina." I have to admit that when I first received these I wasn't sure if my foot was going to be able to fit they appeared small but the tops are adjustable,after trying them on I found they fit my foot perfectly. I find this wedge to be comfortable,stays on my foot & I can wear them all day without worrying about the arch of my foot hurting they are everything I could have asked for in a shoe & more. Ugglebo offers a wide range of shoes with different wedge sizes,colors & styles you are sure to find something you like.
