CSN Review

Before I can post todays Giveaway(s) there are a couple Reviews I need to get posted first,You get BONUS entries into my upcoming giveaways for commenting on these reviews.Thank You

I absolutely love a website called CSN it has Hundreds of stores,thousands of items & a great selection of products.Recently I worked with CSN on a product review of some of their Childrens items.I was sent a sixty dollar gift card to get what ever Item I wanted from the site,It was really hard picking out what I wanted because there were so many great Items.I ended up picking a Le Café Play Tent[Seen below],& A My Very Own 26 Piece Tea Cart Set[Seen above].I was surprised at how fast the arrived to my house at first I wasn't sure what it was because I honestly didn't think that it would send so fast but much to my surprise it was in the package.The tea set arrived a few days later,I am very happy with both items they are great products at amazing prices,they always have amazing sales & free shipping on a lot of their Items.The quality of their items are beyond amazing they are always above & beyond the standards I have for most childrens toys since everything is mass produced. The Le Café Play Tent is a great size for children to play in it holds up to Four Children,If your child has a big enough room with extra space it is perfect for indoors & outdoors,I love the fact that is has a little 'patio' type area on it to put a small chair or table under.The My Very Own 26 Piece Tea Cart Set is the perfect size for a young child & the colors go great with little girl decor,It is a perfect match for tea parties & play kitchens.I only wish I had toys similar to this when I was a child.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Under Glass GIVEAWAY & Review

Today is all about Jewelry! I love being able to provide you with sites that sell gorgeous pieces of jewelry,Today I have two Jewelry review/Giveaways for you to check out & enter each shop has something unique about them that sets them out from the rest of the crowd.

A Piece of Jewelry has to have something Unique or be extra special to me in order for me to wear it,I don't have a huge collection but it is slowly building because of some of the fabulous jewelry shops I have found not only online but on Etsy.Recently for a review I worked with a small shop called Under Glass who sells a Variety of Resin jewelry some of which are 'Specimen' samples which include butterflies,ants & More for my review I received a specimen series petite green beauty.I always love when Etsy shops put their products in adorable packaging when the necklace arrived it was in a Medium black bow,with a white strip & A Purple bow with a butterfly attached with the store name on it,Inside the box the necklace was on an adorable little card board tag & it came with a Bonus pair of earrings! Since the Necklace is made from resin it is a very light weight,the butterfly inside [Fake] looks great specially in the sun light,The chain is also sturdy & light weight I like the slim design.The bails on the resin flow with the chain so it doesn't seem like a big bulky mess on top of the pendant.At a distance the butterfly looks real to tell it wasn't real you would have to hold it up to your face to examine it,The butterfly has a lot of different colors in it which reflect the sun light nicely,the butterfly has Green,Red,Purple black & slight hints of orange.Everything about the pendant is smooth since it is sanded down there are no rough or sharp edges.Wondering what the Bonus earrings look like? The bonus earrings are cute round circles with ants in them perfect for the Halloween season or any time of year,You can win these earrings in next months Goodie bag giveaway.I give this etsy shop two thumbs up! I had an over all great experience working with this seller.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Providence and Grace GIVEAWAY & Review

I know I am a bit late with posting but Its better late than never, The last few days I have been dealing with some crappy car issues plus my DH & I just got the fifth season of our favorite TV show so we have been sitting down watching that together.I know by now many of you have noticed the 'Halloween Guide' Button on the Left hand side of my blog! It is True I will be putting together a Halloween guide for you with Halloween reviews,Giveaways,Saving tips,Posts on Halloween & More each will have my Halloween button on it.The FIRST Halloween post for my guide will be posted right now! Today is also the day I post this months Goodie bag giveaway!

For many girls plus many guys what is Halloween without your makeup? Makeup can transform you into a witch,goblin,vampire & Much more so having the best makeup matters.I recently had a chance to work with a company called Providence and Grace who sells a variety of makeup plus some great makeup that could be used for Halloween.For my review I received the Deep Lipstick,Ms. Smith Eyeshadow,Raspberries Lip Glaze,Innocence Blush,Small samples of Wink & Azule.The package sent by Providence and Grace was sent pretty fast I was excited to see the extra samples Azule & Wink,I was happy Azule was sent because I was looking at it but though I had too much blue eyeshadow though this has become one of my favorites because it is a very bright bold blue that looks excellent with Ms. Smith Eyeshadow.I also really love the Raspberries Lip Glaze the color is gorgeous & you get to choose your scent/flavor I choose Strawberry which smells amazing & doesn't taste like nasty wax like most lip balms/glosses,The Deep Lipstick goes on well & looks great I thought it was a little Odd the lipstick came shaped like a lip balm but it helps me from leaving it up which causes it to smash into the top of the lip stick tube.The Innocence blush is a nice light shade yet still visible,I have not tested out the Wink eyeshadow because I am saving it for one of you to win in Octobers Goodie bag giveaway!.I think that Providence and Grace has great makeup & great customer service the owner is very friendly & speedy with both messaging back & shipping orders.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

KAMsnaps GIVEAWAY & Review

Lets keep the craft spirit going with another Craft related giveaway/post.I absolutely love crafts so when I was offered a chance to try out a new tool that will help me make new Items I was very excited to try it out.Recently I worked with a wonderful company called KAMsnaps on a review & giveaway.KAMsnaps carries snap colors to match Fabrite PUL, bumGenius and gDiapers (and we have tutorials on how to replace the Velcro on them with snaps),They are also exclusive sellers of engraved Ooga Booga snaps.For my review I was sent some black Snaps,Black star snaps & A .I tested out making a small change purse which turned out great,I have also used it to fix other small purses & cases that have broke in the past,but that's not all you can do you can also use the snaps to make Eco Friendly cloth diapers which are loved by many parents all over the world.

If you check out their website they have many Tutorials showing you how to make an assortment of products,I will post part of the Snap Wallet,I would post the whole thing but it is way too long but you can visit Also cut out some interfacing slightly smaller than the fabric cause you don't wanna sew over it, just makes things harder.Iron on the interfacing to one of your fabrics (doesn't matter which one, I haven't found that it makes any difference)Now, put the two pieces together, right sides facing each other, and sew around the whole rectangle. The trick is to start sewing in the MIDDLE of one of the short end Then bring it back around and stop where the lines are. Trust me, this is a really good trick.Now cut off the corners, it's not vital, but is an old trick of my mom's and I just do it anyhow Now turn the thing right side out.. it LOOKS scary here, but not for long.Use a pen/chopstick/whatever is handy to poke out the corners so its nice and sharp.It tucks in nice and neatly, and you now iron over the whole thing which creases the hole and makes it look perfect!!Now sew across that seam with the hole.Now's a good time to attach your label if you have one.Fold it like so.You want to fold it in about 3 inches. This will be where you stash all your moolah,Want to read the rest? Visit their tutorial HERE I enjoyed working with this product it was fun & easy to use,The tutorials are easy to follow & I look forward to testing out more of them.The KAMsnap customer service was fast & friendly I recommend this company to any crafter or home maker looking for a new easy project to make in your spare time they even offer free samples of cute snaps with your order.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

TwilighterVA GIVEAWAY & Review

One of the most popular book & movies series today is Twilight, I must admit I am not a huge fan of the movies, Why? I don't think a lot of the people chosen for the roles fit the roles & I generally don't like movies based off books because of how much they change & leave out but I am a fan of the book series. I have made & seen many great Twilight Inspired jewelry sometimes if you don't want your friends to know you like the movies or series you can get some amazing twilight inspired jewelry that others won't be able to tell was Twilight inspired.

I recently had a chance to work with a small Etsy Shop owner who makes wonderful Twilight inspired jewelry,But don't think its only twilight jewelry she makes other jewelry as well inspired by some of your favorite movies including Harry Potter,Her shop name is TwilighterVA.For my review I received one of her gorgeous Leather Lace Bracelets in Fire Element [Seen Above] which is also available in MANY other color stores when It first caught my eye I knew it was for me.The making/shipping process was very fast I was happy to see it arrive in a very short amount of time.The bracelet fits a little loose but that is a good thing for me because I don't have to take it off when I do the dishes I can just slide it up my arm a little bit without dealing with the hassle of taking it on/off,the only small problem I had was I like to sleep with my jewelry on but the bracelet kept breaking off [The clasp would break off the bracelet] but I make Jewelry myself so I was able to fix it to how I like my clasps so now I do not have the issue of it coming off in my sleep.The stone looks gorgeous I like how it looks in both the shade & the sun light each different lighting setting gives the stone different colors it ranges from all red,to red blue to purple & more.I like the sort of Celtic feel the bracelet gives off it slightly matches my Engagement ring.The leather straps are the perfect size they aren't so small they will break & not huge so it doesn't look like a mens bracelet.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

TwilighterVA has agreed to give one Lucky winner a $25 gift certificate to her Etsy Store to buy something that catches your interests.

Baby Prodigy Review

It is important to all parents to provide their children with fun toys & DVD's that will help their children learn along the way but how do you decide if something is helpful & worth the money? There are a number of ways from talking to friends who have used the same DVD or reading reviews on the products which you can find good & bad reviews on virtually every product out there.One of the number one products out there today is Learning DVD's for Babies/Toddlers/Children but not every video is the best for learning use,I am like most parents I want my Daughter to be able to watch something fun while learning while watching it but I am very weary about spending $20 on a DVD if I do not know weather it is worth the money or not.

I recently received a chance to work with a Company called Baby Prodigy who is slowly but surely becoming a commonly heard name,Each of their DVD covers are cute & baby friendly with bright colored shapes,animals & babies.For my Review I received two DVD's 30 Minutes to a quiet baby & Baby's first words. To me the videos felt like they were for new borns - 12 months so my daughter wasn't very entertained by them so I gave them to my friend who had a little boy four months ago we watched them while at her house & her son seemed very happy sitting in his bumbo while watching the video,each video is very bright,friendly & happy.The Babies first words is very nice because they show the picture of the object the word on the screen & they say the word for the child to hear.Baby Prodigy not only sells DVD's but they sell CD's,& Toys for each stage of development.I do think this is a good video for younger babies.The videos aren't short & they aren't super long either it is a decent length DVD **This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
