I really loved and wished I had more to use when I was on vacation in Jamaica! The pool with the swim up bar was so chlorinated, for obvious reasons that you really never want to think about while swimming or sitting near people.   The little packet was easy to include in my travel bag and made me feel like my blonde hair was healthy after using it.  I was a little hesitant to use it at first because I was in another country and going to a stylist was out of the question.  However, I really wanted to take care of my natural blonde locks and gave it a try! Look below for proof that my hair did not change a strange color or was stained - eek! PS.  The sun totally makes it blonder, which I love :)

Victorian Initial Necklace

I love jewelry, especially if it can be worn dressed up or down.  This necklace did exactly that!  It came in a cute little box that had an elastic bow to decorate it.  The necklace itself had a thick stamped "T" and a little pearl attached to it.  The sterling silver wax seal initial charm measures 3/4" in diameter and comes on an 18" sterling silver chain with a freshwater pearl. The antiqued letter was cute and is set in sterling silver.  This would be a great present for someone who loves jewelery or can even be used as bridesmaids gifts! As a big time promoter of handmade products, this is one I recommended.  Be sure to visit the website for more pictures and other deigns from Lauren Nicole Gifts!  Like the shop on Facebook for special ideas/offers too!

BagBlaze~Review and Giveaway

There are so many deal sites these days and it's hard to keep up with them!  I really like specialized deal sites but it seems like a lot of them are the same.  Now I loves shoes but do I need to look at ten shoe deal websites a day? No!  I told my husband that I wished there was one for purses and voila! I found BagBlaze.com!  All their purses are selected by experts(how do you get that job?!) and are up to 70% off.  One thing I love more than purses is purses on sale!  Every bag is under $39.95 including free shipping.  And if for some reason you need to return your bag, you get free shipping on all returns! They also give you points for each bag you buy. 50 points=$5 off and there is no point limits!  Great way to save even more money.   Look at some of their great selection:

Felicia Hobo

Diaper Bag

Humberga iPhone Wallet

Ida Luggage

I received the Grecia handbag to review.  It took me a long time to decide which bag to pick because there are so many to choose from!

I am that woman who needs a big purse.  Since I had my daughter,I keep so many "in-case-of" items in my bag.  There is so much room inside this!  I can store all both of our things in this plus have room to find everything!  I am not a huge fan of the flower but it detaches so that's no big problem.  It comes in my absolute favorite color, dark purple.  I thought that the leather was real until I looked at their website.  I personally like the look of leather but the animal lover in me doesn't like it!  The bag is really well made and the stitching is excellent.  Overall, it's a winner!

Julep~Review Giveaway, & Coupon Code!

Lately, I cannot stop looking at nail art.  I am constantly looking for new ideas to try.  However, it turns out that I am not as skilled in the art department as I thought I was! But while searching, I came across Julep!  It is a nail and beauty company that offers a monthly box service!  What makes this different than other monthly box companies is that you have control!  Want to send your box to a friend this month, switch up what's in your box or even skip a month?  You can do that by becoming a Julep Maven!  


I chose the Classic with a Twist box to review.  It contained:

• Kate - Classic with a Twist: Soft white pearl
• Rose - Classic with a Twist, juicy watermelon red crème
• Best Pedi Crème Ever! exfoliate, hydrate, and nourish your feet 

The nail polish is really high quality.  It goes on smooth and shiny.  I have been wearing it all week and it has not chipped at all.  When I first looked at their site, I thought all the bottles seemed mini or trial size.  But these are 8 oz.!  While they are not the usually 14 oz. bottles, there is enough to use quite a few times.  I have used mine on both my hands and feet twice and the bottle is still almost full.  I really liked both colors!  The pink goes on a tad darker than I was expecting.  It is a cross between pink and red.  The white has a shiny tone to it that makes it different than a plain white.  They both go really well together!  The Best Pedi Creme Ever came at the perfect time for me!  My feet were looking rough and this saved the day!  It goes on just like a regular lotion but really does wonders to your feet!  Now if I could just get the hubby to use it...

I chose to do a simple polka dot pattern on one nail for a statement nail.  I also did a chevron pattern on my big toe.

Now here is your chance to get one of your own for just a penny!  Visit their website here and take their style quiz under the Julep Maven tab.  At checkout use coupon code: MAVENINTRO to get your first box for only one cent!  Remember, they notify you every month with the contents of your new box BEFORE charging you!  You can switch your box styles, send your box to a friend or even skip a month!

Footzyfolds~Review

When I found I that I had to chance to review a pair of shoes that could easily be folded, I was excited but a bit confused.  What do you mean that they roll up?  Why would I need a rollable shoe?  I decided to read up on the Footzyfolds and it clicked.  Of  course I need a rollable shoe!  I am that girl who wears high heels to a wedding then after an hour, off come the shoes.  Nothing says classy like the barefoot girl at the party.  I have really flat feet so wearing heels is actually very painful for me.  So now that I realized how practical they were, I wondered if they could be something stylish enough to wear.  I was really happy with the pair that they sent me! 

Boston in Green

They are really comfy and I can see myself wearing them a lot.  I am in my brother's wedding in September and plan on throwing these into my purse for after the ceremony.  Also, these are going to to be great for the winter.  I hate having to wearing my boots around all the time but it's necessary for the snowy weather here.  Stay tuned because we are going to be giving a pair away courtesy of Sublime Media Connection!

*I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.  I received the above products through Sublime Media Connection in exchange for an honest review. In no way was I asked to give a positive review.
