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.

Wee Gallery 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 Wee Gallery for the review free of charge.****


My son is turning one in eight days, Every day he is learning more and talking more he learns a lot from his older sister. When his sister was younger we had quite a few sets of flash cards which were ruined over time so when I received the chance to review a set of Jungle art cards for baby by Wee Gallery I was extremely excited. The Jungle set includes a bear, lion, monkey, parrot, snake and zebra each card is printed on recycled board and measures 5"x7" the cards are a nice thickness as well.



My package arrived within four days from the other side of the United States & was well packaged. These cards are simply adorable even the box they come in is something you will want to hold onto not just to keep the cards in but because of the artwork. All the cards are thick which will allow your child to play with these cards without them getting ruined, the corners are round to prevent any poked eyes or jabbed cheeks. One side of the card is white with the animal drawn in black and the other side is black with the animal drawn in white along with the animals name. My son loves these cards he started giggling as soon as they were pulled out, He loves playing with and looking at these cards the contrast is wonderful and we all love the way the animals are drawn. Wee Gallery also offers a Sea Life set that includes a sea animals, sea horse, fish, turtle, jellyfish, stingray and octopus.



Wee Gallery also sells temporary tattoos, tea cups, toys & rubber stamps. Want to know how Wee Gallery came about? Here is some information from their "About Us" section, "Wee Gallery was conceived by Surya, a graphic designer, and Dave, a teacher. To prepare for the birth of their first child, Surya painted a mural on the baby’s nursery wall. Remembering that newborns responded to black and white best, she decided to paint zebras so that the baby could focus on the black and white stripes at first, and as he grew older, would be able to recognize the form of the animal .Well, their son Siddu loved his zebra wall, and so did all the moms and dads who came to visit! So they decided to create more animals using the same idea, and the first set of Wee Gallery Art Cards for Baby was born. Seven years later Wee Gallery products are sold in baby boutiques and design shops all over the world." Head over to their etsy shop to see everything they have to offer I personally love their designs and will keep this on my "Baby Shower" gifting list for when I am invited to a baby shower again.

Life is the Bubbles Review & Giveaway!

****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 Life is the Bubbles for the review & giveaway Free of charge.****



When it comes to jewelry I like owning jewelry that you can't run to walmart or target to pick up, Who wants to go into a store and see at least ten other people wearing the same thing? (And yes I have been in this type of situation). My number one go to for jewelry that is Unique and suits me is Etsy, Yes a bunch of people can still purchase the same necklace but they aren't mass produced which still makes them unique in my opinion. I recently found a wonderful shop called Life is the Bubbles and I love the jewelry they sell everything is Disney inspired.



I received a speedy little package in the mail which had a small blue gift bag and a beautiful Drink Me Alice in Wonderland Bottle Necklace with Key Charm. I honestly have no idea what they used inside of the bottle they look like very small beads which are fun to watch while twirling the bottle and look stunning with the color choices picked out by Life is the Bubbles. The bottle has a small label that reads "Drink me" which has been securely placed on the bottom, I am 90% sure that unless you used a sharp blade you won't be able to get the label off, the cork on the bottle is also well sealed. The chain was also a nice choice selection from the shop owners, it is sturdy and light weight some chains can be too dainty and can break simply by getting caught in your pony tail and others are so big they are irritating to wear this one is perfect which I just realized also fits perfectly with the just right amount Alice has to use of each potion or mushroom in order to become the right size. I loved this necklace all the way around from the cute heart clasp to the chain and the charm bottle itself, I would 100% purchase from this shop in the future I have a few friends and family members who would love the jewelry sold by Life is the Bubbles. Some of my other favorites from their shop include; Jar of Dirt Necklace and Key Charm Disney Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow Tia Dalma, Mistress of All Evil Maleficent Magical Necklace with a Dragon Charm and Snow White, Heigh Ho Off to Work Bottle of Magical Diamonds Necklace and Shovel Charm. Their necklaces chains are typically 19 1/2 inches long but if you were looking for something shorter or even longer I am sure they would be more than happy to fix it for you.



Everyone needs a little Disney magic in their life and now you can carry it with you around your necklace, wrist or have it hanging from your ears. Show off your love for your favorite Disney movie! Life is the Bubbles offers a number of necklaces, bracelets and earring sets which all revolve around well known Disney movies & Fairy Tales. The pricing is affordable and budget friendly, Their jewelry ranges from $12 to $50 for the Decor they sell. Customer service is great the shop is ran by a mother daughter team who do an amazing job not only at creating jewelry but with their shipping and customer service as well. What is your favorite piece from Life is the Bubbles?



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky read is going to win a $35 Gift Card to Life is the Bubbles to select anything your Disney heart could desire.
