Febreeze Fabric Refresher:
About Febreeze Fabric Refresher:
It’s the perfect companion for a positively refreshing person. That’s because the fine mist of Febreze Fabric Refresher eliminates odors from fabric and air for freshness that fills your home. Try it as a part of your regular cleaning routine by misting upholstery, curtains, carpet and the air as you move through every room.
My Thoughts:
With 1 dog, 2 cats and a baby on the way our house is bound to take on odors of indescribable proportion if we don't do anything about it. Thankfully P&G offered to send me some Febreeze to test out on our home. For those of you dog-owners there is something about dogs that just adds a certain, well, stink to a house. My husband have gone to our fair share of open houses over the years and we can always tell which homes have dogs, but the cat smell can sometimes be much worse. Thankfully our cats are the clean ones and smell fresh almost all the time, but the pup, she's another story. We have a black lab mix, and she's a stinker. We bathe her with pomegranate dry shampoo and she smells like fruity bubblegum for a few days, but the dog smell always creeps back in, and that smell inevitably adheres to our furniture, so I am so embarrassed to have people over....but thankfully we have Febreeze. Our sofas go from smelling like our dog, to smelling clean in seconds. I don't know what I would do without it.
With baby on the way people will be dropping by to meet this little guy, so it's nice to have a "quick fix" for the stinky sofa situation. Now if there were only a quick fix to the stinky dog...

Tea Collection Clothing
As many of you know my husband and I are in the process of adopting a newborn from the US, so it's time to start researching baby items, and children's clothing brands, discounts and site. One of the sites I came across for girls clothing and boys clothing was Tea Collection.
I really like their selection. Their clothing is a fusion of worldwide cultures and modern design to fashion, which I think is evident in the Kimono style tops and chinese inspired dresses . The dress above was originally 55, now marked down to $39, so their prices are reasonable.
I think you will be very impressed with their selection of boys and girls clothing.

Eden Fantasys

I love doing reviews for Eden Fantasys. They have a great assortment of products like bath and shower gel, scrubs, shampoo and conditioner, bubble bath, in addition to a great line of clothing and makeup (new to their site). That is the rated G selection, but they also have adult toys, massage oils, candles, lingerie and more.
In the past I've had a chance to try out their lotions, candles, lingerie and think they make quality products. They have something for everyone. If you are more conservative, there are silk robes and candles, but if you want to live on the edge, they have products for you too.
I am dying to try their new lip scrub product, pictured to the left. My lips get so dry and chapped in the winter and badly need some pampering :)

The Keeper - Blog Book Tour
The Keeper is the first book in the Stoney Ridge Seasons series and releases (1/3/12) with grand approval from critics and fans alike. For the launch of this book and series Suzanne is hosting a "Honey of Giveaway"! She'll be giving away an iPad2 and connecting with readers at a fun Facebook party on the 17th!
About The Keeper:
| Julia Lapp has planned on marrying Paul Fisher since she was a girl. Now twenty-one, she looks forward to their wedding with giddy anticipation. When Paul tells her he wants to postpone the wedding--again--she knows who is to blame. Perpetual bachelor and spreader of cold feet, Roman Troyer, the Bee Man.Roamin' Roman travels through the Amish communities of Ohio and Pennsylvania with his hives full of bees, renting them out to farmers in need of pollinators. He relishes his nomadic life, which keeps him from thinking about all he has lost. He especially enjoys bringing his bees to Stoney Ridge each year. But with Julia on a mission to punish him for inspiring Paul's cold feet, the Lapp farm is looking decidedly less pleasant. Can Julia secure the future she's always dreamed of? Or does God have something else in mind? My Thoughts: I've read other books by Suzanne, and I really enjoy them. She knows a great amount about the Amish lifestyle, and it's refreshing to read about a simpler way of life. |  |
About Suzanne:
| Her interest in the Amish began with her grandfather, W.D. Benedict, who was raised Plain. Suzanne has a great admiration for the Plain people and believes they provide wonderful examples to the world. In both her fiction and non-fiction books, she has an underlying theme: You don't have to "go Amish" to incorporate many of their principles--simplicity, living with less, appreciating nature, forgiving others more readily-- into your life. When Suzanne isn't writing or bragging to her friends about her first new grandbaby (!), she is raising puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. To Suzanne's way of thinking, you just can't take life too seriously when a puppy is tearing through your house with someone's underwear in its mouth. Suzanne can be found on-line at: http://www.suzannewoodsfisher.com/. |
Z Gallerie
I am always looking for new ideas for the house and affordable home decor, and my husband is always looking for new garden ideas, so this is a great site for new concepts and decorations for the home!!!
We love to add color through decorative accessories and leave our furniture on the nuetral side. Some of the new items at Zgallerie include throw pillows and runners that add pops of color. I especially love these new products from their 2012 line. It's a set of natural stone placemats and table runner. It's made of a blanket of smooth and colorful stones on matching placemats and runner to create a unique and natural table setting. A patchwork of stones completely covers each piece to compose a natural and harmonious feel to your dining room.
Z Gallerie is a nationaly run store, and you can find a location near you with this tool: http://www.zgallerie.com/storelocations.aspx or you can shop online!

Glitter Eyeliner
I have been trying to figure out how to wear shimmery or glitter eyeliner for awhile now, and found these photos online that look gorgeous. I can't wait to re-create them!
I think that if you use a dark color glitter eyeliner then you need to use lighter eye shadows for contrast. If you are going to use gold or silver eyeliner then use very dark bold shadows to make the eyeliner stand out!
Try a new look, take pictures, and send me a link to your post!

Become.com
Become.com is a site where you can find many lower priced items in all categories: baby, cameras, computers, jewelry and more.
I especially enjoyed browsing the baby section as we are preparing to adopt a baby in the year 2012, so it's all very exciting for us. The baby secion had strollers and cribs, bedding and onesies. They had a lot of baby crib canopies, which I've never seen. I have seen canopy beds for older kids or adults, but never babies. I think it would just get in the way, but it's a cute concept.
It lets you see products from different stores online, all on one site. You can compare products and prices in one spot!
Check out their site today!

How to wear RED lipstick?
Pale skinned women should gravitate toward reds with cool, blue undertones
Information and photos taken from these sites:
Medium to dark skinned women can get away with deeper reds that have brown or tawny bases. In other words, warmer reds
Darker skinned women can pull off pinkish reds, fuchsias and orange-based poppy reds
Tips:
1. Don't play up your eyes. "Pair red lipstick with the lightest possible eye makeup," says lipstick designer Poppy King. A little mascara and beige shadow will do.
2. Prevent "bleeding." Apply a little concealer around the border of your mouth.
3. Avoid deep reds if you have thin lips. They tend to make lips look smaller
4. Coordinate your look. Dot a little smudge of the lipstick on the apples of your cheeks, then blend it with your fingers.
