Bubble And Geek Giveaway & Review

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Bubble & Geek for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

  

I use a ton of lip balm & I am always on the hunt for more, I recently was sent my favorite lip balm I've ever tried. A wonderful etsy shop called Bubble and Geeks sells lip balms, candles, soaps and more in different scents, flavors, colors, ect. I was recently sent a small assortment box with some of the best products I've had in my possession in quite some time. I was sent a Butterbeer Scented Soy Candle in a tin, A ButterBeer flavored Lip Balm, and a Strawberry Cheesecake scented/flavored Tinted Lip Balm - "Rose".



Wowza I can not tell you how much I love the "Rose" Strawberry Cheesecake scented/flavored Tinted Lip Balm just by typing it on my blog. I am not a lip stick fan, I would love the color but I can't stand the texture, this tinted balm is the perfect solution it gives my lips a light rose color which looks wonderful. It isn't a bright red it just highlights your lips with a slightly more pink hue that what I/you would normally have making your lips look moisturized and pretty. I have been using this daily and a few times a day, it has kept my lips feeling and looking smooth and it smells divine. Can you guess where I will be buying my lip balms from now on? Yep Bubble & Geek is my go to store now. The Butterbeer scented candle smells how you would imagine Butterbeer would smell, it is a strong but non overwhelming scent that dances around your nose letting its delicious smell waft through the air.

In my opinion soy candles tend to burn longer and cleaner than a normal candle would, the candles are sold either in a tin or jar either way leaves you with a fun little organizer. Once the wax is gone simply clean out the jar or tin and use it to store coins, makeup brushes, ect anything you can think of placing inside of it. The Butterbeer lip balm I didn't try as I passed it on to someone else and I am 100% sure they wouldn't want a pre tested lip balm hahaha, but I have been told it works just as well as the Rose balm I have been using. I think all the prices are great for such high quality products, the lip balms are $5 each and the candles in a tin are $12 for an 8oz can, don't forget to check out their selection of melts,soaps and more you will be stuck in their shop looking around wondering which one to buy first.



Shipping was quite speedy, I live in Arizona which get pretty hot 95% of the year shipping speeds for things such as lip balms,candles and food items is important to me because the longer it is exposed to the elements the more likely it is to melt. Even during the middle of summer I could trust my products to arrive from Bubble and Geek without melting or having other issues due to their speedy customer service, shipment speed and great communication. If you haven't heard of them before you should head over to check out everything they have to offer you and your loved ones, their products would make great gifts any time of the year.



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner is going to receive 5 lip balms in their choice of flavor. Open to US Residents only, I promise to have more world wide giveaways soon. Please note Bubble & Geek does normally ship world wide so still feel free to browse their shop.

#DisneySide @Home Celebration

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Disney Parks & MomSelect for the review free of charge.****

My #DisneySide Party, As many of you are aware I was selected to host a #DisneySide @Home Celebration and was sent a big packaged which contained party decorations, party supplies, a few favors and other goodies. The theme I was sent was Mickey Mouse Club House which was easy to put together, I printed out coloring pages, put together goodie bags, made food, planned games and more my five year old was counting down the days to the party and would ask about it at least once every hour for a week. Saturday was party day! I spent the day decorating the house and putting together last minute preparations such as food, drinks, ect.




 

For the kids main meal we made Mickey Mouse shaped PB & J's using the cookie cutters we were provided by Disney, All of the children attending the party were between the ages of 1-8 most of them are picky eaters so they were all very excited to see PB & J's and many asked for them without being asked if they were even hungry. We also have fruit, cheese puffs, crackers, cake pops, cup cakes, and drinks for the party guests. We played Disney bingo, colored some Mickey Mouse, Sofia, and Jake coloring pages, and the kids ran around and have fun with bubbles, Mickey ears, Pin the ears on Mickey and more. The night ended with all the girls staying the night to watch Disney movies, all the kids had a blast!




 

Without Disney this party wouldn't have been possible, I would like to personally thank them for myself and for all of my party guests we had a wonderful and look forward to continuing with our love for all things Disney. I would also like to thank So Sweet Pops for donating the Disney shaped cake pops all the kids and adults loved them they couldn't get enough and were all asking where to get more. One of my favorite things about the party kit is the decorations are 100% Reusable I will be able to use them again for a future Birthday party or event which is always great considering I have two children who love Disney and Mickey Mouse.

** I was provided the kit for the party along with a suit case and luggage tag free of charge for participating in the #DisneySide @Home Celebrations from Disney Parks and MomSelect although I received the products free of charge all opinions are 100% true and my own. **

A phenomenal hit TV series in Canada, Toopy and Binoo is now available for the first time ever to US audiences exclusively on the Toopy and Binoo TV YouTube channel.

The Episodes are 5 minutes each and offer bright colorful imaging along with fun adventures and a ton of laughs. My kids are ages Five and One they both really enjoyed watching the show and had fun playing with the stuffed plushes. Talkative Toopy loves to chat about the duo’s fun adventures.

eGardenStudio Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by eGardenStudio for the review free of charge.****

 

I live in an apartment that has two large windows in the living room which should let in quite a bit of light but instead there is a large tree that mostly covers both windows so we don't get as much light as we should which makes keeping plants alive in my apartment impossible. I have finally come into possession of an easy to care for indoor plant that won't die on me, I was recently sent an Air Plant in a Bubble from eGardenStudio a wonderful plant shop on etsy.



This air plant comes in a small glass orb vase with a diameter of about 3 inches, and three little feet at the bottom. The orb vase fits right into my hand and sits perfectly on my computer desk, as a bonus the opening of the vase is about the size of my finger tip which means my cat can't get into the vase to eat my plant as he is known to do. This plant is very low maintenance you simply need to spray it 1-2 times a week making sure there is no excess water hanging out in the vase, I have been turning mine upside down on a paper towel for a few minutes to make sure all the extra water if there is any drains out. It requires bright, indirect light, no direct sun is recommended. You can put them near a window at home, or put them in your office, since fluorescent office lighting also works well for them. Both the light watering and indirect light make this plant a perfect gift for someone who doesn't get a lot of light in their home or for an office to spruce it up a little. Looks wise I think this vase and small air plant are adorable it adds a little bit of nature into what ever space you place it in. The exact model I received retails for $16 plus shipping. 

 

Shipping wise the package arrived fast and was securely packaged to keep the glass and plant from being ruined during shipping, since there was no dirt or rocks in the vase I didn't have to worry about there being loose soil/dirt in the box. eGardenStudio ships world wide, depending on where you live and how your postal service is it may take a few weeks to receive your plant in you are outside of the US. After taking care of this plant for the last two weeks and seeing that it is still healthy and very much alive I would 100% purchase more plants from eGardenStudio not only for my home but for my work desk and friends as well. All the prices are very reasonable and range depending on the plant,vase size and any extras that may come with it. Customer service is wonderful and they are always friendly. Want to check out everything they have to offer including their color moss? Head over to their shop to view what they have in stock.

Mosaic Shirts Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Mosaic shirts for the review free of charge.****

 I always love getting new clothing especially when they fit comfortably, I recently found a shop on Etsy called Mosaic shirts that offers a wide variety of shirts from Movies, Anime series, Books & more. There are quite a few shirts I enjoy but the one I was drawn too most is their Studio Ghibli Inspired Screenprinted T-Shirt.



I received a light blue Totoro Inspired Screenprinted T-Shirt from Mosaic shirts for review purposes, the shirt arrived relatively fast and was packaged in a caring manner. The shirt fits well, is comfortable and is made from sturdy fabric.I think the design is quite adorable  and is quite unique I have never seen another like it. The shirt is made from cotton and is soft, the design is printed well and doesn't seem like it is going anywhere even after a few dozen washes. The shirts sell for $14-$18 each which I think is a great price for something hand made considering band T-shirts are $20-$45 for a single one and those are mass produced. Each one of their shirts has a large option of shirt colors and sizes all the designs come in either black or white depending on the color of the T-shirt you choose. Selection wise I think they offer a good selection of shirts to pick from there are a few I would personally buy for myself.

Splendies Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Splendies for the review free of charge.****

There are tons of subscription boxes but have you heard of an Underwear subscription box? I thought it was a little strange at first but after thinking about it I realized it is a awesome idea. I generally love buying new undies who doesn't like a pair of brand new undies on their bottom? but I don't always like going out to find pairs that I like. I was recently able to participate in a review for the Splendies subscription box. You'll receive 3 pairs of underwear every month for as long as you would like and are free to cancel any time, It is $8 for the first month and $12 every month after that. If you aren't a fan of thongs there is a 'No thong' option which costs an extra $2. Shipping within the US is free!



I received three adorable pairs of underwear I absolutely love two of them and the third I am happy with although it would be my first choice, I was sent a blue lace boy short, a white Valentines themed thong which had adorable little heart buttons on the front and a blue/purple thong that said "Love" on the front. Based off of my month package I received I would subscrbibe to their subscription, How ever a suggestion that I thought of is having a "Likes/Dislikes" area. I know that most subscription boxes sends everyone the same thing each month, but not everyone is a fan of silk,lace,ect I myself enjoy lace underwear but my fiance dislikes them so I never buy them. I was informed before picking my size that the Splendies brands tend to run on the small side so if you are in between sizes to order one size up. I am very glad they have that note on the site as it worked out perfectly. Price wise I think the prices are great and affordable. The shipping was fast they ship within seven days of ordering your first box, and they pack everything with care!

Sugar Fueled Art Giveaway & Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Sugar Fueled Art for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

  

My home isn't decorated in the most traditional home decor, I am a gamer, a nerd, ect my home is decorated in a lot of Gamer and comic book inspired decor along with lots of dragons, skulls, bats, ect. I am always happy to add new decor which is why I couldn't resist the adorable art from Sugar Fueled Art on etsy, their work is so adorable and slightly dark at the same time I love all of the work they offer. Sugar Fueled Art offers dozens of prints some inspired by Disney or movie characters others aren't but each is unique in it's own way.



For a recent review I was sent five Sugar Fueled Art Mini prints I received; Gizmo from Gremlins, Ewok Wicket from Star Wars, Legend Devi, A Rainbow Unicorn Pony &
Olaf Snowman Cocoa from Disneys Frozen. The prints look even better in person then they do in the photos online, holding the prints in my hands I noticed more of the details and colors I had missed when viewing them online. Each print arrived in its own protective sleeve and was signed on the back with the year, they arrived in a speedy manner and arrived in perfect condition. If you were to ask me which of the prints was my favorite I honestly couldn't give you an answer I love them all and each for their own reasons but mainly because they are all too adorable not to love. I plan on buying a special frame to display these together on my wall for the time being I am keeping them on my desk but have already had quite a few people ask about them. I know it is a little strange to point out but I have to say I love their logo as well something about the little black star with a lighting bolt down the middle just grabs my attention, each card features the logo but it blends in perfectly.

The artist & owner Michael is quite sweet and fun loving you get a real sense of his personality through his work, He will be attending a number of events and comicons throughout the rest of 2014 if he is in your area I suggest heading out to meet him in personal and check out his work you won't be disappointed. All of the prints sell for $4-$12 for a magical piece of art work the prices are perfect and 100% worth paying to have this art in your home. Each print has beautiful coloring, fine line work and shows you a piece of another mysterious world through the eyes of that character.



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky reader is going to win 5 Mini Prints of their choice. There are Dozens of designs to choose from.

Mortimer Snodgrass Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Mortimer Snodgrass for the review free of charge.****

I always love finding fun & unique products not only for myself but for gifting purposes, A company called Mortimer Snodgrass offers a wide selection of fun gift and gag items for all ages and even for the pets. I recently received the chance to receive a gift card to their online website for review purposes, there were a lot of neat products so it was hard to make a final decision. I finally decided on the Naughty Box & MimoMicro Drive- Chewbacca.



The Naughty box had a small collection of items from their Slightly Inappropriate line it had products such as the Cuss Cards a game where you get to translate swear words into other languages, Underwear Bandages, Maybe you touched yourself hand sanitizer & more. The box was on sale for $25 checking their website it looks like they are no longer carrying that box or the other similar boxes so I received mine just in time. Being shipped from Canada my packaged arrived within three weeks and was packaged well. How ever the only thing I didn't like was the check out process it may have just been for that day I am unsure as I wasn't told what the issue was, The checkout process has a page which should normally ask if you want your packaged shipped or if you wanted to pick it up in store. During my check out process there was no 'Shipping' option only a box for in store pick up which it wouldn't let me pass until I clicked it so I made a note about it and sent them an email to let them know. The website never said anything about a shipping cost and didn't have the shipping page so I was unsure until two days later I received an email saying that the shipping was almost $20. If you were buying from the site and had some technically issues like I had it would be a shock to find out how much shipping actually is/was so if I did it all over again I would have wanted that page fixed. Otherwise I enjoyed my experience with the website & they have a ton of fun and really cute items that I would love to own and would make great gifts. If you are in Canada and live near their store but have never been there I suggest checking it out.

The Bird & The Bee Giveaway & Review

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by The Bird and The Bee for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

  

Etsy, Oh Etsy how I love all the wonderful creations you have to offer. I have a breathtaking little shop called The Bird & The Bee that I can't wait to tell you about. The Bird and The Bee specialize in cupcake pendents but not just any cupcakes, they have cupcakes inspired by Disney Characters, Super Heroes & more all with their own unique flair. Each cupcake can come as a Pendant or as earrings. I have received the wonderful chance to share not only a review but a giveaway with you as well! I was recently sent a pair of earrings for the purpose of a review.




These pendants aren't only attractive but they are sturdy, light weight and well made.  The batman cupcakes feature a Bat, two tiny bat ears, a cake and a yellow utility belt. The top of the cupcake is a light grey and the bottom along with the decorations are black. The wonder woman cake features the 'W' logo and her crown in the colors Red,Gold,Blue and White the base is blue with white polka dots for stars. I think these are well made there are no finger prints or stay lines on the clay used to make these pendants and the coloring is wonderful, bright and fun. The earrings look a little large in the photos but I promise once they are on your ears they aren't as large as you would think & they are light weight which is a plus. The Bird & The Bee has fast and friendly customer service and their shipping is exceptional along with their caring packaging, Their products would make a great gift for anyone. Along with Cupcake Pendants they also offer a variety of other pendants including Harry Potter Pendants & Game of Thrones.
