Groove Life Rings Review & Giveaway!

Depending on your occupation wearing a traditional metal ring may not be the best option, some allergies also make it impossible to wear certain metals, which is where silicone rings come into play. My husband works in a field where he works with his hands often and rings we've tried in the past dig into his hand leaving behind a bump where a callus starts to build, so we started to look for a new ring. Since his ring is his wedding ring that he will be wearing all the time he wanted something that is comfortable and doesn't rub his finger raw so we decided to test out a silicone ring from Groove Life. The wedding ring I had lost two of the side stones over the last two years so I decided to replace it with a ring from Groove Life as well.

Groove Life has over a dozen beautiful rings to choose from, some have a single color and others are more detailed. For the review I picked out the women's Aspire - Aurora silicone wedding ring and my husband selected the men's Black pearl metallic ring.

The Black Pearl Metallic ring ($29.95) really does look metallic in the light, it has a little bit of a sheen to it which looks lovely. I did notice on the ring my husband received that it did have a small ring of what looked like extra silicone around one ridge of the ring, it has slowly been coming off on it's own. You can see it a little in the first photo above, however I think it is just the way it came out of the mold and it should be easy to file off the extra. Otherwise there are no issues with the ring, my husband says it is comfortable to wear, it dries quickly when it gets wet and it stays in place thanks to the helpful grooves on the inside of the ring which also make it breathable so your finger doesn't get all sweaty under the band.

My Aspire - Aurora ring ($34.95) is gorgeous, the photos of it look pretty great but it looks even better in person.One side of the ring has a bit more blues and the other has more greens, so you can turn it to look different each time you show it off. The ring features mountain ranges and a night sky that resembles the aurora borealis. I know I should have my ring faced the other way so when I show it off the person looking at it can get a better view, however I love admiring the ring so I point it towards myself. I agree with my husband that these rings are extremely comfortable to wear, you can't even tell you are wearing it! If you do need to or want to remove it, the ring comes off with gentle wiggling, otherwise it stays in place with the inside grooves. I also like how flexible the ring is. If anything ever does happen to your ring they offer a lifetime warranty, plus if you order the wrong size they offer free exchanges.

The Bridal Flower Review!

 **This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by The Bridal Flower for the review free of charge.**

We aren't going to be having the most traditional wedding but I knew I still wanted a beautiful bouquet to go with my dress so I set out to find one that matched. Many of you may recognize the name of the sponsor for this review and that is because they are one of the sponsors of my Wedding Prize Pack giveaway which can be found Here, Don't forget to enter! The Bridal Flower recently finished their brand new website and I love how everything turned out, they make it so easy to find exactly what you're looking for. When I spotted the Malibu Calla Lilly bouquet I knew it was the one, it has one of my favorite flowers and it isn't overly large I just wanted something sweet, simple and to the point.



The Malibu Calla Lilly bouquet features twenty real touch calla lilies along with several small matching gem stones and either a satin ribbon handle or a "full bling" handle. For my bouquet she created one in my wedding colors which are red and black, with a matching handle that fits in perfectly with the feel of our wedding. The flowers look and feel like they are real but they aren't so you won't need to worry about the flowers dying or looking off at your wedding and it will last for many years to come.

            

            

The bouquet is light weight yet feels sturdy in your hand, and even if you lay it on it's side you don't need to worry about the flowers being smashed because they will keep their shape due to the material they are made from. The flowers feel like they are made from a cross between a thin foam and leather which leads to it feeling like a real flower and it even looks like a real flower. The materials used have no scent to them so you won't have to worry about any kind of chemical smell from the materials the flowers are made from which is a big bonus. This bouquet fits into your hands perfectly, it can be carried one handed or two handed without any issues and it looks absolutely fantastic. I am very happy with how the bouquet turned out and shipping was not only speedy but packaged well so everything arrived in one piece. This bouquet can be bought for $84.99 with a satin ribbon handle, if you message the store owner I am sure she would be happy to make any bouquet in your wedding colors.

Faire Lady Review!

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Faire Lady for the review free of charge.**

I've been to several Renaissance festivals and I've always wanted to attend in costume and now I can thanks to a small handmade company called Faire Lady who designs and sells a number of renaissance inspired clothing. You can purchase her products on Ebay or Amazon all at great prices! For my review I received a Pirate witch wench sca peasant dress in black with a skirt bodice Irish overdress in red.



The Pirate witch wench dress is quite comfortable it is made from a Cotton Polyester Blend which is important to me that it doesn't retain too much heat because the Renaissance festival here in Arizona can get pretty hot. You can wear the dress with the top undone or you can tie it into a bow, and the strings will make you jingle when you walk due to having three jingle bells on the end of each string which is a feature that I love. This dress can be worn alone, with an over dress or with a number of other over the dress choices like a corset. The bottom half of the dress is pretty puffy as is the bottom half of the overdress so it is flowy while your walking. The shoulder section can be worn like a regular dress or you can wear it as an off the shoulder depending on if you want the over dress or if you want to wear a bra or not.

The skirt bodice Irish overdress has metal boning at the laces, it ties at the shoulders for easy adjustments, and the entire bodice is lined with a black material and the whole overdress is also made from a Cotton Polyester Blend. The lining next to the laces is very pretty it has a lot of detailed designs on it featuring gold, white, green and red. The skirt portion is large and puffy so it will completely cover the under dress and will move with it as you walk. Looking over both pieces all the stitching looks great it is all secure and I only found one small thread that was trimmed to be a little too long otherwise they did a fantastic job piecing this together. I am pretty happy with this set and look forward to showing it off, my fiance wasn't a one hundred perfect fan of it as he said it hides the figure of the person wearing it and isn't too flattering but he did think it looked nice. Shipping wise it arrived way sooner than I expected it too and the way everything was packaged made it to where a bunch of packing materials were not wasted.

Olivia Jane Couture Review!

 **This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Olivia Jane Couture for the review free of charge.**

It is amazing how many small details go into preparing for your big day, so where to start? Aside from the venue and date which are two big details that should be worked out first one of the next most important items is the dress and the accessories that go along with it. After all doesn't every bride want to look her best on her wedding day? Some brides will opt for a fairy tale type dress with all the gems and add-ons it comes with and others will opt for something more simple and add on a sash for a bit of flare. I am one of the brides who is going for a less over the top dress but I still want to add a bit of sparkle so I will be wearing a rhinestone and ribbon sash with my dress.

I recently happened to come upon a beautiful Etsy shop called Olivia Jane Couture who sells a wide selection of beautiful eye catching wedding sashes and belts. Each belt and sash are handmade and are offered in a number of beautiful colors, if you do not see a color that matches your dress or wedding colors you can request a custom ribbon which is what I did with the red. Not only did shop owner Svetlana put the rhinestones on the ribbon but she also lined the back of the rhinestones in red so that everything matched and looked complete.

The sash is a one size fits all, the ribbon is pretty long as you can see in the first image above, I would say it is about twice my height and I am 5'4" so no need to worry whether this will fit for not. If you need to trim it down you will be able to without any issues or you can leave it a bit longer to create a beautiful bow in the back which is what I plan on doing. The rhinestone embellishment I received  measures about 11.5 inches long and 2 inches wide at the widest point, it does have a bit of weight to it but it isn't a crazy amount of weigh about what an average belt would weigh.

Looking over the rhinestones I can not find a single stone that is out of place, chipped or loose everything sits as it should.The sash I received features four different sized rhinestones along with a few small clear beads as you can see in the middle of the image above. This piece is absolutely beautiful and is an accessory that is sure to not only add a bit of magic to your dress but it will have your wedding guests telling you how well it compliments your dress.The sashes range in price from $38-$130 so there is something that fits every budget.

Want to WIN a sash of your choice? Stay tuned and keep an eye on my blog! Sunday October 1st,2017 I will be posting a wedding prize pack giveaway featuring some beautiful wedding products for one lucky bride to win.

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.

Ring is pictured in the FIRST photo of this post,Width of band depends on which you pick.

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

The Pink Monogram Review

When ever my family & friends gets a chance we love to take road trips out doors whether it's to go camping,Hiking or just to go fishing we love being out doors. We always like to be prepared which includes having a small knives collection because you never know when or what you will need one for so when I received a chance to add a new pocket knife to my collection I couldn't refuse.

I recently worked with a great company called The Pink Monogram that sells a large rang of items from House goods to Wedding gifts. For my review I decided to go with the Monogrammed Black Buffalo Horn Lock Back Knife from their Wedding gifts for men section the knife itself looks great! Here is the description from the website: "Monogrammed Pocket Knife! This Monogrammed Black Buffalo Horn Lock Back Knife has class. The 3 ¼” handle is exotic buffalo horn with brass pins. The mirror polished bolsters and the filework design on the lockback just add to the overall fit and finish. The blade is a polished 2 1/8” 440C stainless steel with a flat grind. Other details include Rockwell Hardness of 54-58, flat blade grind, 3 1/4” closed length and a 5 1/2”  overall length." The knife arrived in a fantastic amount of time considering a separate company did the engraving which says "K3", The pocket knife has a nice weight to it,Easy to open easy to close & looks great. The blade is sharp &can be used to cut a number of things my husband works with boxes all day so this comes in handy when he needs to cut open boxes or cut the plastic off of a product. Both my husband & myself enjoy this product and would recommend it to family + friends.

The Pink Monogram offers dozens of other every day items including Totes,Ice buckets,Bedding,Cups, & Much more some of my favorites include the 6-Inch Pillar Candles In Fall Colors And Scents which can be engraved with your Initial,Personalized Sit N Sip Cooler And Sports Seat And Camping Stool & New Personalized Engraved Square Platter And Easel. Based off of how easy the site is to navigate,friendly customer service & high quality product I expect to return to this website again to find future presents for myself,husband & family + friends, I suggest you head over & check out everything The Pink Monogram has to offer. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Anjolee Review

Before I jump into todays giveaway I want to share a review with you that goes along with today's giveaway. I recently worked with a company called Anjolee on a review, Who is Anjolee? They sell an assortment of Jewelry for everyone including Men's bracelets. For my review I received a Teardrop link Gemstone Bracelet with Amethyst stones. Here is some information from their website "This bracelet is the definition of elegance! Featuring charming, teardrop shaped gold or platinum links that stand out when separated by the round gemstone of your choice. Each gemstone is held secure with a two prong design so you really see the beauty of each stone"

The packaging was better than I thought it would be,This bracelet arrived inside of a White box with a royal blue bow when I opened the box I found a gorgeous bracelet box that looks like it is made from cherry wood & has a cushioned white inside. There are many things I like about this bracelet & two small things that I didn't like as much,Lets start with the things I did like first this bracelet is small & dainty a perfect addition to any dress or night out look.I also enjoy the fact that this bracelet is easy to put on & take off without any help from another person the clasp isn't bulky so it wont stick out like a sore thumb. I wore this bracelet around for a while to test out how well it wears I did notice that it slightly pulls on arm hair once in a while I have very short arm hair so I don't know if it made it pull more easily or not,I also noticed after two hours of wear one of the gems on the clasp fell out though without actually inspecting the bracelet you can't tell that it is missing aside from that small incident I think that this bracelet is well crafted & well thought out I love the elegant yet simple design.I also like the look of their Birthstone Bracelet.

I over all love this bracelet light weight,easy to put on,matches many out fits & classy. If you need jewelry for a special occasion or like wearing nice jewelry I suggest checking out Anjolee they offer Gemstone Bracelets ,necklaces,earring, Birthstone Bracelets & More in an assortment of colors,shapes,karats,& more. Anjolee has friendly customer service,fast shipping & extraordinary packaging.You can visit the Anjolee website or check them out on Facebook & Twitter ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
