Amy's Not Dead Yet 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 Amy's Not Dead Yet for the review free of charge.****

 I am always on the hunt for unique products that fit with my style,likes and likes of those I know. Many of those likes include popular shows such as Supernatural, Once Upon A Time, ect and I love being able to share them here with you! A huge fan hit is Doctor Who and I've found a great little etsy shop called 'Amy's Not Dead Yet' and she sells Cards & Art for the geeky fan. I was recently sent a few samples of her work which included a Note card, A sheet from her Cthulhu coloring book, two Doctor Who Christmas tags and a few book marks. All of which can be seen below:
 

The samples arrived in a very timely manner and were well packaged. I highly enjoy the type of paper that was used to make each of the products, it is sturdy yet bendable at the same time allowing a little wiggle room when shipping in the mail. Each print was full of color and well drawn, I was attracted to the shop because of how kawaii and adorable the characters were on each piece of her art work. Cards are $6 each, If you were shopping for cards you might think this is a little high, but in reality it isn't. If you think about it cards at the store rang from $2.95-$10.95 sometimes more for a card that is massed produced and has been given to hundreds of others with the cards from Amy's Not Dead Yet they are hand done in water colors and are quite unique. I personally think the price is one hundred percent worth it for the craftmans ship alone.

 


So if you have a Doctor Who, Sherlock, Cthulhu, Hobbit or other similar geek show lovers head over to see what you can find for them or even for yourself! The products are exceptionally made, shipping is fast and customer service is fantastic plus the prices are great so you can't go wrong with this etsy shop! Can't find something you're looking for? Feel free to message the shop owner I am sure she would be happy to work on something for you.

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

Do you love shopping in bulk but prefer not to pay for a yearly membership to a local wholesale retailer? I have the perfect solution for you! Boxed.com offers low priced bulk products including grocery items and beauty items. Up until a week ago I didn't know Boxed.com existed and now I am sorry I didn't know about it I love their website and most of all I love their prices. I was lucky enough to receive a chance to participate in a review and host a contest (will be posted soon) for Boxed.com taking a look at the products below how much would you guess the total was? $140 maybe $120 discounted? If you guess anything over one hundred dollars you would have been wrong for all six of the bulk products below it only came out to $88 with free two day shipping.

There are a number of products available ranging from Laundry soap, to dog food, tooth paste and even beef jerky. It was hard to decide what to get for my review there were so many wonderful products to choose from so I narrowed them down to our favorites. Looking up prices at a similar retailer and the price comes out to over $100 I can see where the better price and better place to shop is and that is Boxed who offers a Free membership and cheap prices. Did you know an average trip to a local warehouseclub takes over 180 minutes? Boxed gives you back 179 of them. I felt more comfortable and happy shopping from home instead of going to a big warehouse full of people to look for what I am in need of. I placed my order on Monday September 8th and received it on Wednesday September 10th, Now keep in mind I live closer to where these products were shipped from so your order can take slightly longer. One of the big things I noticed and thought was sweet was that a note was included with my package wishing me luck with potty training my son I ordered a Huggies Pullups Combo pack which 1.) I didn't know existed before working with this company and 2.) was an unbeatable price. Along with their already amazing prices they also have a "stuff on sale" section where you can find a large handful of products with sales prices. Customer service was fast, friendly and professional.

Glitter Wishes by Kara Giveaway & 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 Glitter Wishes by Kara for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

My daughters birthday isn't until December but I wanted to get a head start on making plans because it will be here before I know it and if I'm not prepared then I will go crazy from last minute planning. I asked my daughter what she would like as here theme this year and she decided on Frozen which I think is a great theme for her Winter birthday and I know there are lots of Frozen party supplies available but I wanted to search around for some unique party supplies you won't find walking into Party City. The smallest details can really make a party pop, up until recently I hadn't really thought about the birthday candles I always just bought the regular numbers from the grocery store. I found a great etsy shop called Glitter Wishes by Kara who sells custom designed candles to fit any birthday theme.





I want to start by saying that Kara's customer service is fast and quite friendly, I had requested that she ship the candle to where it's delivery would fall between Thur-Saturday as I am home during the day and was afraid the candle might melt if it was left in the AZ heat. She happily sent it so it would arrive on Friday. As you can see in the photo above the candle was neatly wrapped and came in a wax parchment paper to prevent it from getting stuck to the tissue paper. The candle looks great it is completely full of glitter, gem stones and has a large snow flake. My daughter was ecstatic when she seen the candle and I think it will go perfectly with her other party decorations. The candle is large and will stick out well sitting on top of a cake, I will be keeping this to put in her keep sakes box and think it would be a fun idea to buy more customized candles in the future to really tie the party theme together. The candle I received is well decorated and will hold up to being handled a lot on the birthday party day.





Looking for a specific theme? If you message Glitter Wishes by Kara I am sure she would be more than happy to work with you on creating the perfect candle for your party. She offers candles for both boys and girls with themes such as Fire Trucks, Mickey/Minnie mouse, Butterflies and more. All candles range from $8.50 to $17 for double digits, yes it might seem a bit high for a candle but taking into consideration it is custom decorated to fit the party theme and can be kept for a future keepsake I think the price is very reasonable, some of the sets such as the "80's" candle would make a big impact for someone who might not be receiving a big party and will show you went the extra mile to really make their big day special. Glitter Wishes by Kara ships world wide!

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will receive 1 candle of their choice. Single Digit number only. Open World Wide.

Complex Wish 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 Complex Wish for the review free of charge.****

I used to save plastic bags from the store for dirty diapers because they came in handy when I wasn't able to put it in the outside trash can right away, but since my son is in the process of potty training and our plastic bag collection has become quite large I have too many bags. I've been thinking of ways I can cut back on the amount of plastic bags my family & I go through, when I decided I want to start using tote bags to put my store purchases in. So I began a hunt for cute tote bags that fit my personality and likes along with being effective for carrying groceries or other purchases which is when I came upon Complex Wish on Etsy. I was recently sent the How to train your dragon - Toothless and Hiccup tote for review.





The bag arrived in a very timely manner and was well packaged it arrived in a sealed plastic bag to keep it safe from getting wet or dirty while on it's journey to me. Along with the bag I also received an adorable bonus Totoro drink coaster that is squishy and adorable, I think I would be sad to put a cup onto this coaster because of how great it looks. The tote is 14.5in x 15in and has a hand drawn photo heat pressed onto 100% cotton. The images featured on the products sold by Complex Wish are hand drawn by Lynn the artist who runs Complex Wish, I personally think there are a lot of details in the image and she really captures the essences of both characters. I now carry this bag around with me in my car to make sure I have it with when I make purchases, I have received quite a few compliments on it asking where I purchased it from.





Along with tote bags Complex Wish also offers key chains, coasters, mouse pads & more featuring a number of characters. The tote bags are $14.99 a piece which I think is 100% worth the price considering the bag is 100% cotton, sturdy and the images are hand drawn. Customer service is fast, friendly and reliable this is an Etsy shop I would purchase from in the future for gifting needs and my own person needs. All items ship World Wide!

Rude and Reckless 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 Rude and Reckless for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

If you are a fan of my facebook page you will have recently seen a teaser post for a Toothless necklace that is absolutely adorable. The giveaway you have all been waiting for is finally here! Read the review below and enter the giveaway to win a Toothless necklace of your own. Toothless is a personal favorite Disney character of mine because he is lovable, and an all around great character so when I came across this toothless necklace from Rude and Reckless on etsy I knew not only would my fans love it but my daughter would as well. I have received the opportunity to share not only a review of the necklace with you buy one of you will win your very own necklace.





Shipping was fast and the necklace came wrapped perfectly to keep it protected, the necklace was wrapped in bubble wrap laid on a padded cushion in a box and the box was also bubble wrapped. The necklace looks just as cute in person as it does in the photos online which says a lot because we all know sometimes the final product looks nothing like the photo shown. The necklace is about 3" x 3" which is the perfect size for a necklace, I was worried at first as the photo on Rude and Reckless lead me to believe it was slightly bigger but I was pleased to find it was smaller than I expected. Toothless has a lot of detail put into him, the wings have lines to show each section of the wing, he has hands, feet and his tail with its "fix" Hiccup made for him along with a number of other details. The price of the necklace is $30 which includes the chain, you may be thinking this is a steep price but I think it is right on the dot. The necklace is custom made, packaged with care and looks great and the price is fitting. The shop owner is sweet and professional!





Toothless not your style? Rude and Reckless offers a number of products from Zombies to TV show themed items as shown above. Some of my other shop favorites include the Cthulu Mythos - Amulet of the elder gods, Kirby necklace, Copperpus - Octopus necklace and the sloth necklace. Which product is your favorite from her shop?

Prize Alert:
One lucky winner will receive their own Toothless necklace! This giveaway is open World Wide.
