Charm Factory Product Review

Posted by Bobbie Gould on September 1, 2010
in Eco Friendly Products, Fashion

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

I was able to pick eight charms to add on to this bracelet. I picked the:

Love Charm– Because I wanted another faith charm.

Big Sister Charm– Because I love being the big sister of 8 children. 😉

Amethyst Heart Charm– My birthstone.

Grand Piano Charm– Because I love playing piano.

Pink Crystal Music Note Charm– Because I love music.

Large Sewing Machine Charm– Because I love to sew!

Cross In Heart Charm– To show that I am a Christian

Large Dolphin Charm– Because I love dolphins!

When I got the charm bracelet I was REALLY excited. The bracelet was very well made, and has a adjustable length which fit my 7 1/2 inch wrist perfectly! I could not find any fault with this bracelet. And might be ordering a couple more charms to add on to the bracelet! 😉

Here are some pictures of the bracelet:

100_5827

100_5831

100_5839

I liked that the charms and beads are .925 sterling silver and manufactured in the United States, all lead and nickel free. Their pewter charms are also nickel and lead free. Charm Factory products do not contain cadmium, which is a concern with some products made in Asia. (The jump rings attached to their pewter charms do contain a small amount of nickel. A few imports that they do not make here, like some chains from Italy, are noted in product details.)

All of the charms where very beautiful, and makes such a nice accessory that goes with almost every outfit! Perfect for anyone who wants to have a bracelet that displays what they love!

Charm Factory’s costs vary on the charms that you decide to buy. They sell over 4,000 charms! And there is no limit to the amount of charms you can have! The charms range from pets, hobbies, to food charms.

I encourage you to check out charmfactory.com

Big Skinny Wallets Review

Posted by Bobbie Gould on August 31, 2010
in Fashion

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

I was sent the:

Woman’s Taxicat Bi-Fold Wallet In Pink and I really liked this wallet. It was not too bulky, and I loved the pink color! 🙂 I really liked that the plastic “thing” in the wallet kept my money from sliding around and falling out. I thought that this wallet was a great addition to any woman’s closet! This wallet comes in 6 colors and is $23.95. I think this wallet is my favorite of the two wallets.

taxicatbifoldwallet

Executive Checkbook Bi-Fold Wallet With Zippered Pocket In Purple: This great wallet is perfect for the working woman as it holds about 40 thick plastic cards, checkbook, and stretched out cash money plus coins. Their special “divide & conquer” design breaks up your cards into 4 discrete areas so they don’t all stagger on one long row leaving huge lumps. How cool is that? The wallet was very nice. And comes in 6 colors. This wallet is $25.95

Keeley Crocs for Back to School

Posted by html404 on August 11, 2010
in Kid's Footwear, Product Guides 2010, Shopping

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

If you are shopping for kids footwear, you might want to consider Crocs for back to school. We featured the Keeley Crocs in our Back to School Guide earlier, but we also received a pair to review.

About Keely Crocs

They are odor resistant, ergonomic, lightweight, comfortable, anti microbial, fun, active casual footwear. Available in sizes 4-13 and a variety of colors.

Retail $24.99

August 11 2010 005

Our Review

We have never owned a pair of Crocs, so these shoes are new to us, even though we have heard about them. Our daughter was thrilled to receive her Keeley Crocs. They are pink – her favorite color and fit her perfectly. She said they are comfortable and easy to get on and off. She now chooses her Crocs first over her old shoes, which are also pink. More time is needed to see how long they hold up over time. They seem well made and sturdy enough. For now, they are a favorite at our house and we think they are very cute! 🙂

For more information on additional styles and colors, please visit www.Crocs.com

1.) Crocs- Crocs have a new kind of shoe out! It’s called a Croc Sneak. It is a really cool shoe. We like the Keely ($24.99) for girls and the Crocband Sneak ($34.99) for boys. We thought the colors where fun, and perfect for back to school! Available in sizes c6-j3.

This fun fashion accessory is fun and discreet way to wear your clothing. One Size- adjusts down to accommodate smaller sizes (2T -14 girls) and up to womens size 10.

3.) Bra Pocket- The Rack Trap this is such a cool way not to have to carry around a purse! The Rack Trap is an undetectable one-size-fits-all personal bra pocket that holds everyday essentials including license, cash and credit cards conveniently in your bra. How cool is that? So all of you high schoolers (and college students) who perhaps are athletic and don’t want to have to carry around a purse, but don’t want to get pick pocketed than this is a GREAT option. Although, it probably would not fit your cell-phone, it would fit your ipod and earplugs. Depending on the style the racktrap is $15.95 for a three pack or $7.95 for one.

4.) Go-Pillow Blanket for Preschoolers ($29.95) This blanket is not only a blanket but can be used for a cradler, nursing pillow with cover-up, changing surface, infant pillow with blanket, toddler travel pillow and more!

Even though we homeschool, back to school sales are on our minds too. After all we need school supplies just like everyone else. We are looking forward to taking advantage of the IL tax break starting August 6th, I think.

Thanks to a HARO query, we have many wonderful products to share with you over the week or two starting on Monday! Bear with us as we try to post as many of them as possible. We received close to 100 pitches, however, not all of them will be featured. We are trying to narrow them down to our favorites and ones that we think best fit our Back to School Product Guide.

Here are the categories we will be covering:

Posted by Bobbie Gould on August 5, 2010
in Fashion, Girl Stuff

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

The product that is received in exchange for a review is a darling Beige Feather Beret this barrettes is very comfortable and is very well made. It is one of the most comfortable berets that I have worn/ tried on! I love it! It is the perfect addition to any old boring outfit to make it new and exciting. The barrettes are very light weight and easy to wear. They are 100% Acrylic. You can only hand wash these barrettes. They come in 8 colors so you can choose which one you like best! 🙂 Personally, I like the beige and brown colors best.

Here are some pictures of the product that I received:
