CraftCuts-Painted Vine Monogram Review/Giveaway

Personalized decorations are a must in my house... nothing is better!  This beautiful Painted Vine Monogram is modeled after me and my husbands initials to create a unique piece of artwork. This fits perfectly in our living room giving it a personal  touch.

I chose the color Spice Brown for our Monogram. It is a carved out of sturdy Baltic Birch Plywood, of which you can choose the thickness and height. You can also personalize the color, and even choose to frame it with circular frame, rectangular frame, or no frame.

I think this is perfect for a living room, kitchen, nursery, hallway ect. These also would make great gifts for any occasion. I am 100% satisfied with my monogram!

Tsubo-Cellini Review

When I first received these shoes to review I immediately opened the box and fell in love. The Cellini is a beautiful wedge that is trendy and edgy all at the same time. You can complete your outfit by pairing these shoes with a skirt or even skinny jeans for a night out!

The Cellini shoe utilizes comfort technology. The contoured foam and cork foot bed give you superior cushioning. Additional latex foam pods at forefoot and heel pressure points also add comfort. They are SUPER comfortable and hug the foot very nicely!

Tsubo offers men and women styles that are all based around comfort... which is always a plus in my book! From men's casual and dress shoes, to women's sport styles and heels, they have just about everything to fit any need!

Teething Bling Review/Giveaway

I recently had the opportunity to review Teething Bling.  Simply put, this is jewelry that is made for young children who are teething. Everyone knows little ones like to tug and pull your jewelry because it is shiny and different colors. Smart Mom Jewelry created jewelry that is safe for your child to grab and chew on! Made from the same FDA-approved materials as most teething toys, their products are non-toxic, phthalate, BPA, PVC, latex, and lead free, and all pendants come with a breakaway clasp as an added safety measure. 

I think this is just such a great invention. I had never seen anything like these before. My niece (11 months old) was VERY intrigued and interested in the pendant, grabbing, looking, and chewing on it. She must have enjoyed it so much she thought I would like it too... she even tried to put it in my mouth! 

Teething Bling come in many shapes and colors. They have pendants, bangles, and even a new bead line to choose from. They also have scented pendants that your kids will love as well. These would make great gifts for baby showers or birthdays.  The necklace is something that is fashionable for the mommy and safe and fun for your child! They even offer something for the daddy's out there... "BABE MAGNET TIES"  (regular tie with a hidden squeaker and rattle tucked inside!) Teething Bling is a great company... I would recommend them to anyone!

Potty Cover Review

Have you ever taken your child into a public restroom and it was extremely unsanitary?  I know I have seen some pretty scary bathrooms!  What is even scarier?... what you don't see!  I was so relieved when I received a package of Potty Covers to review. They are individually wrapped for your convenience. Throw them in your purse or a diaper bag and you are good to go.

Potty covers have a polka dot design printed on them. These covers provide a waterproof barrier between the toilet and your child. Soft fabric for comfort with a plastic coating protects your child from germs on public toilets. Potty Covers have the largest coverage among other similar products on the market. They cover the top, sides, and front of the toilet; right where your child holds on for balance and legs hit the potty! I found that impressive because in reality, your child legs do hit the toilet and they do have to hold on for balance!

You can purchase these online and they are well worth the money! I think these are a parent-must-have with children who are learning or are already potty trained. I will definitely be carrying a few in my purse for potty trips with my niece in public.

Ear Band-it ULTRA & Putty Buddies Review/Giveaway

EAR BAND-IT ULTRA

This nifty headband protects you and your child's ears from water. You can use them for swimming or bathing. "GRIP TECH" Neoprene inner lining helps for the headband to stay in place and offers 100% super soft neoprene comfort for your little ones. Its has ultra strength properties by being 33% thicker. These are recommended by physicians for swimmers with ear tubes, or ear drum perforations

The Ear Band-It comes in small, medium, or large. Small is for ages 1-3 years, medium is for ages 4-9 years, and large is for ages 10 to adult. They come in all different colors to suit everyone's taste.

I tried the Ear Band-it on my nieces and nephew. All in size small, ages ranges from 11 months, 2 years, and 2 1/2 years old.  The product fit them all perfect, covering their ears completely. I think these are perfect for keeping your children's ear dry to prevent ear infections.  It is recommended for use with ear earplugs or ear mold to be most effective. The ear band-it has very easy cleaning instructions to follow. The Ear Band-It stays clean in chlorinated pools, bathtubs, and showers. If you do need to wash them, use a mild detergent and let air dry.

I live in Ohio and we are still having cold weather, but I can not wait to use these at the beach and pool this summer!

PUTTY BUDDIES
Putty Buddies are silicone ear plugs. These ear plugs are very soft and comfortable. They are easy to form to your child's outer ear. They are reusable (which is always a plus) and also come in a handy carrying case for a safe, clean home. Pop them into your beach bag or in a medicine cabinet and you are ready for whatever water fun that is in store for your little ones. The Putty Buddies also have a ear plugs that are floatable.  This is nice in case they would accidentally fall out. You wouldn't lose them because they will be floating on top of the water!  They also come in a wide variety of colors.

You can get an Ear Band-It and a set of Putty Buddies for under 15 dollars!

Ahnu-Belmont Boot Review

I have received the opportunity to review the Belmont boot from Ahnu. Ahnu's aim is toward outside activity. They say that they "engineer performance footwear for those who prefer trails over treadmills. "

Ah.nu [ah' noo] -noun

the Celtic goddess that embodies the balance between well-being and prosperity.

The Belmont boot is stylish and comfortable. With Winter still hanging around, I got to wear these quite a bit. The boot includes a side zipper that makes it easy for putting on and taking off. I can truly wear these boots all day and remain comfortable. It is honestly hard for me to find a comfortable stylish boot... normally they are nice looking but NOT comfortable at all and I am always disappointed.  These Ahnu boots feature an internal Polyurithane midsole with U-shape heel stabilizer to keep your heel centered and promote balance, while the honeycomb pattern provides incredible comfort.

These boots are full grain and patent leathers. They have a plaid top lining that adds a nice little touch. One feature I absolutely love is the fact that the footbed is treated with Aegis anti-microbial to minimize bacteria that can cause foot odor.

These come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Ahnu has women and men shoes, ranging from casual shoes to boots. The company uses certified post-consumer recycled fibers in their catalogs and packaging. Ahnu has a lot to offer and I am 100% not disappointed!

BACKGROUND:
The Snapcessories team first met in an entrepreneurship class at Kent State University. They quickly became friends and formed their dream company Snapcessories, LLC. Since then, they have had their ups and downs like any other start up company. Through these experiences, they have met a wide array of industry leaders and professionals who have strengthened their business as well as helped them individually grow. They are excited for the future of Snapcessories.

Snapcessories make it easy for you to change your look from day to night! Unique headbands and accessories with a magnetic device make it easy for you to change your look in a hurry!

Classic black bow to finish off your outfit.

Ruffle flower with clear gem center great for a bride on her wedding day!

Guppi Shoes:Review/Giveaway

You're probably wondering, "What are Guppi Shoes?" Guppi's put the "you" in Sh(you)s! With a few zips of a zipper and your creativity, you can have different shoes for every outfit. The company says you don't shop for Guppi shoes, you fish for them.  You don't buy Guppi shoes you catch them!

How Guppi shoes get started? A man had a daughter who loved shoes and always wanted to buy more. Her father was curious and asked why she had so many pair of shoes. She explained that different outfits need different shoes! He came home with a new shoe design based on the conversation they had. She loved the idea of a shoe she could take apart and put together to match her outfit perfectly. That's how Guppi Shoes got started!

I got the opportunity to review these trendy unique shoes. I am a lot like his daughter. I have a shoe collection myself and always want to buy more. I thought these would be perfect for my shoe addiction! I love the idea that you can switch up the whole look of the shoe with just a few zips of a zipper. They are super easy to put together and take apart. 

Here is a quick video to show you how to do it.

Below are my shoes I "fished" around for.
Design #1

Design #2

Design #3

Here is how the pieces come in their packages, and how laces are packaged!

This companies' customer service was OUTSTANDING! I have no complaints at all; they were very helpful!
