HalloweenCostumes.com Review

Halloween is my Favorite holiday & October is my favorite month of the year,The spooky festivity & decorations excited me & I love buying Halloween items year round so Why not buy a costume early?

I recently had the chance to work with a fantastic website called HalloweenCostumes.com for my review I received the Racy Red Riding Hood Costume which can be seen above.This costume arrived a lot faster than I had expected,The costume fits great & comes with a hood attached the costume was easy to put on & easy to remove I like how puffy the tutu part of this costume is I am used to costumes that have little to no fluff in the tutu's that are included but this is quite full.The costume is very comfortable to wear no scratchiness or odd plastic feeling like some costumes I have worn give off. Halloweencostumes.com offers costumes for Women,Men,Teens,Children & Toddlers/Babies so they have something to offer everyone they also offer accessories & shoes.

They have a large selection of costumes to choose from all at great prices for example the Caribbean Toddler Pirate Girl Costume pictured above is only $22 other stores like party city would be selling these for $25-$110 per costume.Buying a costume online beats the hassle of buying a costume in October because you won't have to deal with the crowds plus they offer plenty of super cute Kids & Toddler/baby Costumes.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

GhostLove Review

I used to hate wearing jewelry up until a few years ago,Why? The main reason I didn't like jewelry was because I don't like most jewelry that is offered out there I can get picky with what I will wear that is why I usually make my own but on occasion I do find jewelry I like enough to want to wear.

Recently I was allowed to do a review for a company called GhostLove, Who makes a variety of jewelry one of their most popular lines is their steam punk line.For my review I received a Heart Gears ring from the Steampunk Sweet Shoppe line Here is some information from their website "This is truly a remarkable steampunk ring! It features a beautiful Victorian heart stamping with an open center that reveals the face of the Swiss ruby-jeweled vintage watch movement underneath. A matching filigree band completes the look. Just lovely!" The first thing I noticed about this ring is that its not huge & over powering like a lot of rings seem to be now-a-days so that was something that I quite enjoyed,The ring I received is adjustable & is very smoothed out so that it doesn't knick your finger [Yes I have had this happen with other rings],I like the fact you can see the small gears through the heart.Shipping was good the ring arrived safe in a package along with a cute little magnet with the store name attached.The seller also has a small etsy shop called The Steampunk Sweet Shoppe which is dedicated just to their steam punk line offered on Ghostlove.Ghostlove has been featured in Auxiliary magazine, AltNoir magazine, X-PRESS magazine, and the (upcoming) November issue of Gothic Beauty magazine.They offer rings,Necklaces,Bracelets & Hair pieces all at various prices,Looking for something different? GhostLove offers custom orders just message them to discuss what you would like.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Byrons BBQ Review

What would summer be without BBQ's,Smoked meat,Splashing in the pool,Concerts & Time with your family? I recently had the chance to work with a company called Byrons BBQ I was sent a 4lb tray of Hickory smoked pulled apart Pork.

Above you can see a photo of how my sandwich turned out,The meat took about an hour to cook we stirred it a few times to keep the meat from burning & too keep the center from staying frozen.During the cooking process we also added a few spices of our own because my Fiance loves adding extra spices.The whole house smelled pretty good while the meat was cooking,Once the meat was done everyone was hungry & ready to eat we had our BBQ pork on Potatoes burger rolls the combination was super yummy.

If you want something more than just a sandwich Byrons BBQ offers many Recipes on their website for you to check out & use.Some of the recipes include BBQ Nachos,BBQ Pork Enchiladas & More. The 4lb tray is enough to feed 8 people or enough to make about 10 thick sandwiches.My family & Friends who were over to enjoy this meal with us thought the meat tasted fantastic,there was no fat,all the pieces were shredded small & the meat was moist/falls apart in your mouth.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Interview with Katie Cazorla of Nail FILES

Attention ladies! There is a fabulous new reality TV show on the TV guide network which I am sure you will adore after the first instance you watch it the show is called Nail FILES,What is Nail FILES about? Well it features the wonderful & beautiful Katie Cazorla.The show is about Katie's new nail salon located in L.A called "The Painted Nail" and how she struggles to juggles her salon,Her growing personal brand & her personal life which includes making time for her girl friends,& her relationship with Walter Afanasieff a music producer.You can catch the show on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on the TV Guide Network it is sure to bring you entertainment & laughs so make sure to plan time to sit down & watch it Katie has a very strong & bubbly personality.

Katie Cazorla has been traveling around on a small Mobile Tour in a Mobile Spa truck which is a small replica of her shop in L.A some of her stops have included Charlotte, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia,Cleveland,Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and the grand finale in Houston,Texas this upcoming July 4th weekend.On this tour Katie & a small team of nail specialists will be giving away FREE manicures,They will also be giving away free goodies such as nail files,nail decals & other fun prizes through out the day.The Mobile spa is decked out with gorgeous chandeliers,Comfy & Puffy chairs,plus a 42 inch TV.Today & tomorrow Katie is in Phoenix,Arizona & I had the amazing chance to sit down with Katie to do a small interview for my blog Burning Moon's Inside Advice.

Katie & Myself in-front of the Mobile Spa Truck

Now I can honestly tell you I was extremely nervous on my way to meet Katie,This was my first face to face interview,Though I have to say as soon as I meet Katie everything melted away she is so cheerful,Happy,Funny & fun to be around she could make any day a cheerful day.After learning a lot of new & fun things about Katie along with seeing many photos of her nail designs I wanted to know which style or pattern is her favorite to do/work with,Katie's answer was anything with Glitter! She is a huge lover of glitter,a large amount of her nail polish from her Nail line "The painted Nail" has glitter & makes your nails look amazing I got to experience & see many cute nails today while visiting her Mobile Spa,Each girl or woman who stepped out of the truck was beyond excited about their new nails & their experience on the truck.One of my favorite styles she can do is add an image to your nail,Do you love Edward Cullen? Well then you can have his face placed onto your nails,you can have an image of anyone or anything on your nails.Now if your anything like me you might be curious how she gets the image onto a finger nail so I asked her, Her response was that she uses a Nail Printer which allows her to make a small digital image based off what you are wanting & apply it to your nail,After learning about it I now hope to one day get this done to my own nails.I was very excited because Lucky little me got to get my own Manicure done on the Spa truck & Katie herself picked out how to paint my nails,I received A silver based coat on all of my nails & then I received Katie Sparkles as a top layer on all of my fingers except my ring finger,My ring finger received a coat of 'Riot' over the silver which turned out perfectly.The nail polish applied smoothly & evenly,I was happy to see that unlike most glitter polishes you actually get Glitter with every brush stroke,I had made the comment that is was like getting smacked in the face with glitter,my nails are super shinny I love them & everyone at my work is jealous,You can see the results of my nails at the end of this post.

Katie was super talkative & is really excited that her shop & her Nail polish line are taking off! I asked Katie if she had any tips or advice for those trying to set up their own business what ever it may be,Katie's response was "Read as many 'Start you own business' books as you can even if they aren't tailored to your business,Take time to talk with other small business owners to help understand how to make your business work & do a lot of research which will in turn help you with your new business".What was Katie's favorite stop on her Mobile tour? All of them she has enjoyed different aspects of every town or city she has visited,I hope she continues doing these small tours because they are fantastic & helps her fans keep connected with her.There is much more wonderful things to say about Katie but not enough blog space to post it all in one post,so I will end this long post off here.If you would like to Fan Katie & The Painted nail on facebook you can do so by clicking HERE,you can also follow her on Twitter or stop by her store to buy some of her nail polish by visiting The Painted Nail.

I would like to thank Katie Cazorla star of Nail FILES for the wonderful time & a Big thank you to TV Guide Network & Allied Integrated Marketing for allowing me this opportunity.

Budget Gadgets Review

I am getting prepared for a long & relaxing weekend,My mother will be taking my daughter on a three day camping trip which will give me time to sort through all my old emails,clean the house & work on new items for my etsy shop on top of that I have Saturday-Tuesday up in which I will be doing various things for Fathers day & my Fiances birthday coming up.Today I wanted to share a review with you,as you all know part of being a blogger who does reviews & giveaways we always tell the truth both the good & bad though I hate the times I have to say something bad.

I recently had a chance to work with a company called Budget Gadgets on a review,For my review I received a Magic Kaleidoscope Colorful Star Night Light,On their website the night light looks wonderful I was excited to receive it the night light arrived fast which was a good sign,I had it all set up & ready to plug in everything seemed fine,Once plugged in the light only let off very little light which was a little disappointing which is when I realized the night light arrived broken,There is supposed to be a blue plastic ring locate around the top of the light that holds the top black circle with moon/star on it up so the light can shine through it but the blue ring was missing & the black circle was logged inside of the light,It was an easy fix though I took the black piece out & used black electric tape to secure the piece onto the light now the light works much better.

The Magic Kaleidoscope Colorful Star Night Light,Gives off a good amount of light for the size of the night light,The light also has two settings a white setting or a color setting which my daughter likes to switch on & off.Though the product arrived broken it was easy to fix,& like all companies it would also be sent back but I am a handy person so Id rather fix it then wait for it to be sent back & forth,That being said I would work with this company again.I enjoy using this product & it makes my Toddler happy so I am satisfied with the product.Budget Gadgets also offers cameras,chargers,& other products.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
