Christmas Forest 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 Christmas Forest for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

I don't know if you've noticed or not, but the Holidays are coming! I am counting down the days until I can officially start decorating, my fiance and I agreed (or I should say I gave in and agreed with him) that we wouldn't put up the tree or Christmas decorations until a few days after Thanksgiving. However I was given a cheat pass to put up this beautiful Christmas wreath from Christmas Forest.





I received the 20" Jingle Bells Christmas Wreath which features lights, bells and colored ornaments along with a lovely red bow.The wreaths sold on their site are fresh wreaths meaning they use real tree branches, pin cones, etc. and yes eventually after a while will start to dry up but you can help it stay fresh and looking nice longer by giving it a little spritz of water every day. I wish you could smell the wreath through the screen because it smells amazing, it reminds me of being out camping when the weather is cool out. We live in Phoenix which is mostly just desert and cactus so being surrounded by the smell of the woods isn't something that is normal in my home so my cats have been freaking out trying to figure out what the smell is.



My wreath arrived quickly and was packed in a thin plastic bag to keep the moisture in and ensure it was looking and smelling it's best when it arrived, the bow and an extra set of batteries were in a separate bag to protect them. As you can see from the photos above my balls were a little sticky, but it wiped off easily without any issues. I was surprised to see that not only did my wreath come with an extra set of batteries for the lights that are in them but when I went to put them in I realize there was already a set in the pack! This wreath is gorgeous and it is light enough it doesn't take a very large hook but it is heavy enough it won't blow off of your door. I love the bow but I also love it without the bow so it makes it hard to decide which way I would like to hang it up, I can't wait to show this off to my house guests. Each wreath is handmade and as you can see from above they include a little tag letting you know who created your wreath, since these are handmade and made from fresh forest products they may not all be exactly the same but they will all be beautiful and smell wonderful. The 20" Jingle Bells Christmas Wreath is $55 but they also offer wreaths as low as $40 and they offer Free shipping to Continental US via UPS Ground.

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner is going to win their own 20" Jingle Bells Christmas Wreath.

Coobie Seamless Bra 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 Coobie Seamless Bras for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

When it comes bras I wear a DD so I like a bra that looks cute but also offers support for the girls and for my back. Generally I like buying bras with an underwire but it never fails that within one to two months the wire starts to migrate it's way out of the seam and starts poking me which leads me to having to rip out the wire which as you know makes it to where the bra isn't the same after. When I was offered a chance to work with Coobie Seamless Bras on a review & giveaway I happily expected because I have heard several good things about the company.





For my review I received a Coobie comfort bra in XL color: Medium Gray. The bra is mostly stretchy fabric but it does have some padding in the cups, I wish the padding part was slightly larger because it is significantly smaller than the cup as a whole so depending on how you move around the padding may shift around a bit, but the good news is the padding is removable so if it bugs you just remove it. Other than wishing the padding was slightly larger in width I absolutely love this bra. There is no underwire yet this bra is still very supportive and comfortable to wear, instead of having hooks in the back that can come undone or even bend in the dryer and result in pokes in the back this bra is fabric all the way around and is put on by pulling over your head. It stretches nicely so that it fits over your shoulders but goes back to its forming shape once it is on your chest area giving you the best support possible. I also like that there is no tag on the bra everything you need to know is printed right onto the inside fabric of the bra. I wore this while doing yoga and it was extremely comfortable almost to the point where I forgot I was even wearing a bra. While wearing a form fitting tee you aren't able to see your bra straps which is a big plus!

Coobie Seamless Bras are ultra comfortable and supportive. Perfect for everyday wear our versatile one-size fits 32A - 36D, available in 7+ styles and 70+ colors/patterns, with adjustable straps and removable pads! Try one, you'll love it!  Save 25% on Coobie Seamless Bras using code: USFG

 

PRIZE ALERT:
Two lucky winners are each going to receive a bra of their choice from a list provided by Coobie. (Will be emailed to you after you win, you get to select the style and size but the colors will vary).

This is open World Wide, please remember if you DO NOT leave a comment on this blog post as your mandatory entry into the giveaway then all of your entries will be void. Doing the Daily entries will increase your chance of winning. Winners have 72 hours to respond to the notification email!

ThinkFun 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 ThinkFun for the review free of charge.****

 I have two very active children who are always wanting to do something that keeps them engaged and entertained, you can say they don't like to sit still for very long. ThinkFun is a company that offers board games for children that keep their minds active and their hands busy, we have played some of their games in the past and they are always a big hit in our house. I was recently sent one of their newest games called The Yoga Spinner, it comes with one large spinner and 54 yoga pose cards.





Yoga Spinner not only offers a fun game for your kids to play but it also keeps them physically active at the same time. The game is simple and easy to play, before you start you will want to divide the cards up into the color groups they come in and give them a little shuffle then put them face down. Next all you need to do is spin the wheel and select a card for which ever color you land on, this card will be the yoga move you need to do. If you can hold the position for 10 seconds you get to keep the card, the first player to get one card in every color wins! As you can see the white cards require two people so this game is best played with 2+ players, once you start getting used to all the yoga moves you can even increase the time that you have to hold the pose for. This game has an age recommendation of 5+ years old but my three year old son also likes to participate.

I like that this game allows your child to learn yoga as they are playing through the game, I recently started doing yoga myself and find it is quite relaxing and helpful so my daughter has been asking me to do it with her. The yoga I am doing is more of a weight loss thing and the moves I believe would be a little too much for her so I am very happy to have this to do with her now because we can play it daily if we wish. This game sells for $14.99 on the Thinkfun website, I also included a photo of one of their other new games called Clue Master which helps your child t develops the skill of deductive reasoning, a key ability in math, science, computer programming. Head over to their website to see what other interactive and educational games they have to offer.

Ripley's Believe It or Not! 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 Ripley's Believe It or Not! for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

 I remember when I was a kid one of my favorite books to buy every year when those book order sheets go around school was the newest addition of Ripley's Believe It or Not! Now my kids are book worms too and they enjoy the books as well. I am very happy to have received the chance to work with Ripley's on a review and giveaway of their newest book Unlock the Weird! 2017.





I really like that they come out with a new edition every year that has updated information on relevant things that have happened from the year before.The book is quite large and has everything from gross (sheep dung spitting - bleck!) to the extraordinary plus everything in between and the book is packed with photos to highlight everything they talk about. One of my favorites from the book is the mystery of the mountain lion who had an extra set of fangs growing out of its head near the ears, it is such a strange looking photo and really makes you wonder what happened and what kind of defects other animals out there may have and live with until they are adults without too much of a major issue. I also love the "Twin Strangers" story about a woman who meet three other women who looked almost exactly like her but weren't related to her in any way. 














Once you start reading the book you will start to get sucked in and you won't want to put it down, this book will make a wonderful Christmas gift for anyone who likes the strange, the wild and the weird!

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner is going to receive a copy of Unlock the Weird! 2017.

599Fashion 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 599Fashion for the review free of charge in exchange for the post.****

 The holidays are one of the times of year that I like looking around for cheap clothes that are a great price but also a good quality so I can purchase some as Christmas gifts for my fiance, kids, mom, etc. 599Fashion is the perfect place to do some of that shopping because they offer a large assortment of affordable clothing for everyone in the family. Their website works a bit differently than other websites, they only have set amounts of each product in stock so you may see a shirt you like one night and then a day or two later it could be gone so if you see something you want I would jump on the chance to get it. They have new products weekly and usually get a large selection of new products every time they restock so the site is worth keeping an eye on. If you place a large order and one of the items ends up not being in stock when your order is processed they will refund you for that product. Most products on the website only cost $5.99 and some even cost less, they also sell jewelry, accessories and more.



This is their plus size sleeveless peplum top in black and white it is $5.99. I have a large chest so I like to buy shirts slightly larger so that everything has room, and this shirt looked rather cute so I picked it as one of my review items. The top looks wonderful and is very flattering, I like the white stripe with the black flower lace over it. The fabrics this shirt are made from are well made and thick, this would be perfect for the winter with a cardigan over it as shown above (cardigan link is below). I give this shirt a 5 out of 5 because it looks great, is well made, comfortable and it is at a price that can't be beat.


















This is the plus Size Solid Asymmetric Hem Shrug and it is $9.99. I love shurgs and cardigans, I have several of them but I still like adding new pieces to my collection for when I go out, go to work etc. I do have to admit I am a bit disappointed in this piece, it is quite a bit thinner than I had hoped it would be it is almost sheer and you can see the designs and everything of what ever you are wearing below it. It also arrived with holes in both of the pockets, if I were to have placed anything in the pockets it would have fallen right out, granted I can easily stitch this up but it isn't something you like to find when buying clothing. I give this a 3 out of 5 stars since the pockets can be fixed.

This is the Plus Size One Off Shoulder in red and it sells for $9.99. I have to admit when I seen they sold this in a 3xl I selected this for my sister-in-law as a Christmas gift, when it arrived it felt pretty dang soft so I decided to be evil and try it on and man oh man! This shirt is very comfortable because it is just slightly too large for me but sits comfortably so I know she is going to love it because the materials are so soft. The materials are nice and the shirt is well made, I didn't find anything wrong with the shirt aside from that it is a bit sheer so I would wear a tank top under it if you don't want the world to get a peek at your goods otherwise this shirt is wonderful. This shirt gets a 5 out of 5 stars.

Last but not least I loved the first top shown up above so much that I also opted to receive the Plus Size Lace Paneled Round Neck Sleeveless Skater Dress which is the shirt but in a dress version. This piece also fits nicely and is quite flattering, it is a big change for me to wear this because I don't wear dresses often and I never wear anything without sleeves but I feel pretty good in this dress and I look forward to wearing it more often. The materials keep you pretty warm so it is good to wear even in the winter, 5 out of 5 stars from me! 599Fashion does ship worldwide and the shipping rates vary depending on how much your order total comes out to. Everything I received was packaged nicely inside of clear bags to insure that if anything happened to the outside of the packaging the clothes wouldn't get wet or ruined, the order also arrived quickly.

240Sweet 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 240Sweet for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

One of the things I love most about when winter comes and the cold weather sets in is that I get to start drinking hot chocolate again, I usually make a few a week. If you are a fan of hot chocolate then you know it isn't the same without marshmallows in it, with the marshmallows 240Sweet sells you can give your hot chocolate a new face lift so to speak with their unique and fun marshmallow flavors.





I was recently sent some sweets to try out from a 240Sweet, I received a bag of decadent drinking chocolate mix, a bag of sugar cookie marshmallows, and a bag of bourbon brown sugar marshmallows.These marshmallows are large fluffy and packed full of flavor, the sugar cookie marshmallows really do taste like a fluffy version of the classic sugar cookie and they have some crunchy little sugar pearls on them. The decadent drinking chocolate mix is cute lovely and is pretty thick and creamy, the bag will last for several drinks because you only need four tablespoons per cup of hot chocolate. My hot chocolate wasn't hot enough to completely melt the mallows but they did melt pretty well, they are so big I actually cut one in half to put into my drink. The bourbon brown sugar marshmallows we did not try because they are for one of you to win! You can also use the coupon code burningmoon to receive $10 off the Peppermint Hot Chocolate Kit.

Prize Alert:
One lucky winner is going to receive a bourbon brown sugar marshmallows bag which has 10 puffs in it. Worth $10
