High Boron Double Glass

Hello readers,

Today I'm going to be talking about and showing you these amazing cups! I got them at a discount for a honest review. And I fell in love with them! What is so special about these cups you ask? Well they are a double glass cup made to withstand hot drinks such as coffee, hot chocolate, tea, and any other hot beverages. Also it will keep them warm longer. 

My favorite being Chai Tea. I had a really good friend in highschool

who's grandma always used to make it with a little bit of honey and

french vanilla creamer. It is heaven! I usually make it around Christmas time

because it smells like Christmas to me.

It can also can hold cold drinks and it will keep them cold for longer than a regular usual just like the hot beverages keep them warmer longer!

I also love the look that they have! It is very sleek and feels like it to! the only complaint that I have is that I am going to have to get a second for my husband because he loves it to!

I definitely recommend at least looking at this awesome cup if not buying it! Here is the link to go check it out --->  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B26YTKP

Educational Baby Plush Toys

I had the chance to order these Klassmix Educational Baby Plush Toys that are for infants to help them learn their colors, numbers, and animals. I decided to get this for my two year old daughter; she just started to learn her numbers (she can count to thirteen) and her animals (she knows most of her animals and their sounds). However shes still working on her colors. I love how they are animals, colors, and numbers so its easier for her to learn all three.

They are super soft and have a great quality to them. I can let my two month old baby twins play with them and not worry about something breaking or them swallowing anything from them. And how can I not love that they have no noise to them. My daughter has so many toys that rattle or have music on it, so it is a nice break to have silent toys.  The only complaints that I have is that some of the animals are hard to make out what numbers they are. Also that it is hard to hook them on their car seats with closed loops on them.

However I do still suggest this product for any kids 0+. If you would like to look or order this for your kids or a family/friends kids you should definitely go check it out.

Picnic Time Bamboo Coasters

I am in love with these beautiful two toned Picnic Time Bamboo Coaster. My husband and I are hoping to soon get a new place and have slowly been buying things to help furnish a new home. Of course we already have our essentials, but little things (like coasters) we have had not yet gotten. So when I had the amazing opportunity to #review these amazing #BambooCoasters through #BloggersUnitedOrg I jump right on it. These coasters are made of two toned 100% bamboo and are perfect for hot and cold beverages.The two tones of light and dark bamboo is very pretty and add a little class to any room! I ordered the set of 6 but they also have sets of 12 and sets of 24. They are very simply yet beautiful and perfect for any home!

The Little Mermaid First Birthday Party

Being a mother can be so stressful. Especially when you are a first time mother; endless diapers, wipes, formula, diaper rashes, sleepless nights and so much more. Now to add on to that it is almost time for my daughters first birthday and that means even more stress because of her first birthday party. Who knew that throwing a first birthday party would be so stressful? Not me!

There are so many aspects that go into a party. You need decorations, food, invitations, figuring out who to invite, a space big enough to hold all the guests you invite, a cake, and so much more. But I think my favorite part of all of the planning is it allows me to be as creative as I want! I have always loved The Little Mermaid and I loved the idea of throwing my baby girl The Little Mermaid themed party!

I have been so excited to be able to create something beautiful for my daughter. I started with creating a beautiful birthday card for my princess. It took me awhile to figure out how I wanted it to look. I strolled through hundreds of photos to find the perfect background and even then I ended up changing my mind. I first started off with the card on the right with a water background, but then this beautiful watercolor just popped and I fell in love with it.

What I was most excited for though was creating her birthday outfit. I have seen many beautiful tutu outfits all over Pintrest and Etsy but they were all $40 and up! I was not going to spend that kind of money on a tutu that she would only wear one time. So I decided to give it a go and make it myself. I bought some tulle from Walmart (purple, light blue, dark blue, and a blue/green tulle) at about $0.90 per yard. I bought 3 yards per color, though I did not use all of it. I also bought a crochet top from amazon for around $4. I love how this beautiful tutu has turned out and I can not wait for her birthday for her to be able to wear it finished! I can't wait for November to be her to be able to wear her beautiful outfit!

How was your experience of first birthdays?
Thank you for reading.

Pop Painting By Camilla d'Errico

I have another book review for you today! It is about a book called 'Pop Painting' by: Camilla d'Errico. Here is a little about the book:
Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at the painting tools, methods, and inspirations of one of the top artists working in the growing field of Pop Surrealism. For the first time, beloved best-selling author and artist Camilla d’Errico pulls back the curtain to give you exclusive insights on topics from the paints and brushes she uses and her ideal studio setup, to the dreams, notions, and pop culture icons that fuel the creation of her hauntingly beautiful Pop Surrealist paintings. 

With step-by-step examples covering major subject areas such as humans, animals, melting effects, and twisting reality (essential for Pop Surrealism!), Pop Painting gives you the sensation of sitting by Camilla’s side as she takes her paintings from idea to finished work. This front row seat reveals how a leading artist dreams, paints, and creates a successful body of work. For fans of Camilla and the underground art scene, aspiring artists looking to express their ideals in paint, and experienced artists wanting to incorporate the Pop Surrealist style into their work, Pop Painting is a one-of-a-kind, must-have guide.


I had just started to paint again, and was looking for a book to help inspire me. Camilla d'Errico's Pop Painting was the perfect book for that! The artwork in it is so beautiful, with amazing technique. I loved learning how Camilla d'Errico does her art work and love the 'behind-the-scenes' look into her art. I love that this book has opened a new door into art for me that I had not know was there.

Reviews of Acrylic Paints

I have been wanting to get back into painting. And I am so glad that I did with this Non-Toxic Acrylic paint. To start with I love that this paint is so thick and easy to apply.  Another thing that i really love is you have to pop it open! Some acrylic paints do not have that foil piece and when you open them, it just explodes out, this one does not!

Once you break that little foil piece, it comes out super easy, so you do not have to squeeze and squeeze to get it out! I think my absolute favorite thing about this one though is it dries super quickly! This is nice so I can add layers quickly, without having to wait too long for it to dry. I can not wait to use this paint more!

I received this product at a discount for my honest review.

I will be upload more painting soon so stay tuned for those!

Thank you for reading!

Roybens 50s Women Retro Floral Skull One Piece Swimsuit

Its almost summer, and I really needed a new swimsuit. When I saw this one I fell in LOVE with it! I have always loved this style of clothing and knew when I saw it, I had to have it. Before I go into details about how amazing this swimsuit is, here is a little about it:

EYE-CATCHING And ECLECTIC: Bright vibrant colors and hearts, dice, roses, cats, birds, poker, butterfly, flowers, peacock, sugar skulls on it.

GORHEOUS And ADORABLE: The retro style is a sexy cut, vibrant,Boy-Leg. The print is fabulous and the Lined in plaid. The necktie is the perfect length.

EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY: Super sturdy fabric. The strong fabric is a double layer of EXTREMELY high quality material. It's definitely capable of giving a smooth silhouette and is basically shape wear.

RETRO STYLE:Unique 50s Retro(Vintage) halter classic shape bathing swimsuit. It has an adorable plaid trim around it and all inside, The cut is super feminine and fits well.

MORE SURPRISES: (1)Fun colors, quality fabric and craftsmanship, The push-ups make you boobs look amazing(2) It hugs in the right places and is great for curvy women(3) The suit has two layers so you don't have to worry that it's see-through (4) You cant stop looking at it, there are so many cute things in the design.(5) Sweet heart neckline is very flattering.

So I just want to say again that I love 50s retro style! Especially on this swimsuit. The cut and pattern are beautiful! The style is a classic vintage halter shape bathing suit with a gorgeous print that has hearts, dice, roses, cats, birds, poker, butterfly, flowers, peacock, sugar skulls on it. Also a very beautiful plaid lining inside (I would totally wear it inside out because of how pretty the inside is). The material is so luxurious and feel amazing on my skin! I normally wear a 15-16 so I ordered the XXXL (US 14-16) and I was a little worried that it wasn't going to fit me because of all the reviews saying it was made super small. Well when I tried it on the fabric did make a stretching sound, but fit me beautifully! It made me feel so sexy and beautiful I love it! Definitely a bathing suit I would recommend!

Womens Two Pocket Scrub Top Review!

I am a stay at home mom, and love to wear anything comfortable. Whether that be sweats, pajamas, or scrubs, as long as they are comfortable then I will wear them! And I really love this Womens Two Pocket Scrub Top! It is so soft and comfortable! It makes cleaning, cooking, and taking care of a four month old comfortable. This scrub has two big pockets (perfect for putting my baby girls binky in and other stuff to!) I normally wear a size L and I know that most scrub run small, so I ordered a size XL and it was still a little snug on me (that is my reason for giving four stars). Even though it is snug, it is still very comfortable, and I definitely recommend this brand of scrub! I received this product at a discounted price for my honest review!
So if you would like to check out these amazing scrubs, here is the link: Womens Two Pocket Scrub Top!
Just remember to order a size or 2 up!

As Seen on TV: Rocket Coppers

Are you looking for something fun to do with your kids this summer? I think, I have the perfect thing for you! You may have seen them on tv, they have been promoting them a bunch (and for good reason, but I will get into that in a little bit!) It Rocket Coppers! For those of you who have not had the chance to see the commercial here is a little about them: (Also here id the link to there commercial: Rocket Coppers) 

"Introducing Rocket Copters, the super bright, light up the night radical helicopters you can launch up to 120 feet! They’re insane, night time fun! Just hook it to the launch band and rocket your copter high into the sky. Watch the light show come alive with high intensity L.E.D lights that can be seen up to a half mile away! 

Launches like a rocket...flies like a helicopter!

LED lights for flights day or night

Launches up to 120 feet in the air with included launchers

Dazzling spinning light show can be seen from a half mile away

Kit includes: 6 Rocket Copters and 3 launchers"

Don't these sound awesome? Well let me tell you, they are! I was lucky enough to be able to review them and I love them! I have seen these on TV so many times, and it made my husband and I want to buy them so bad! When I got the chance to review them, I jump at it! These rockets are so fun, and perfect for all ages! The pack comes with 6 Rocket Copters that light up and 3 rubber band shooters. I cant wait till this summer, when the family is all together because the kids are going to love them!
They are super easy to use. You take the rubber band and just shoot them into the air! For night time they light up (which looks so cool!) and they also have a whistling sound when you shoot them off.
The only thing that I didn't like about them was that the batteries are not replaceable. So after the batteries run out, then you will have to buy a whole new pack instead of changing a battery out, which becomes expensive.
But over all I really love this product, and definitely recommend it for a fun summer night!

The mesh bag itself is perfect because it is so big! I don't have to worry about not having enough room for all her toys (that she is going to have)! Another thing that I love about this organizer is that it comes with little extras. Such as 6 free small toys (perfect for my daughter because they are not to big for her hands like the other toys that I have). I am worried that when she gets older she will brake them to. It also comes with small 2 loofahs, however they are kinda rough so I won't be using them. Over all this is a really great product that I know my family will love!

Cats in Paris By: WON-SUN JANG

I love cats! I have loved them since I was about 7 years old when we got out first cat, Lucky. Another thing I have always loved is coloring. Every time I went to the store with my mom, i used to beg her to buy me coloring books! Now, with this book I  can combine my love for both! This book is very sophisticated and beautifully made! It combines my love of cats and coloring, all while making it age appropriate for adults! When you think of coloring books, most people think of kids, because that is who they are usually made for. Not this book! It is perfect fro cat lovers and people who love to color!

I hope you enjoy!

Forest Secrets: A Magical Mystery Novel

I know most people say "Don't judge a book buy it's cover!" but that is what I always do, when it comes to books that is. I have found that I am always drawn to books by the way their covers are designed. I have always been a visual person. I feel that the cover of a book is going to tell me more about the story, or give me an insight as to what the book is going to be about. Like for instance the cover of this book, Forest Secrets, I can tell that it is going to be a story about a girl who either trapped in a tree or is a tree. also from this cover I am guessing that it is going to be a book for younger teens. The only real reason I am saying that is the font. Its more playful them some.
So now getting into the story, It is about a young girl named Daisy who discovers that there are half-tree, half-human beings that live in an old forest. She meets a tree-human named Callandrai who can't find her parents, and she tries to help her find them. While searching they discover that the forest is being threatened and she has to save the forest and the tree-humans that live their and make sure that no one finds out about them.
As I had stated before, I had gone into this book knowing it was for a younger audience. I believe that if a 11 year old read this book they would love it, it has mystery, danger and a little magic in it, which is perfect for that age group! However, in this story there is random Spanish words thrown in, that most people don't know, so i'm sure a young kid would also not understand. It was a well written book that has a great story line to it!

OZ Naturals Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer

I love OZ Natural products, as I am sure you have seen in my previous post about their products (if not go check them out! Facial Cleanser and Facial Toner. For my newer readers, I started using the OZ Naturals products about two months or so and I fell in love with them. I absolutely love reviewing their products! They always have a great smell to them and great results. One of the greatest things about their products is that they are all natural, so no harsh chemicals!

I sometimes hate reviewing products because I don't want to be like, "Oh I hate your product". With this brand I have yet to have that problem! The product I am reviewing today is the Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer. Ok first things first, the smell! Oh My Gosh! It's heavenly! In this moisturizer there is coconut oil, BLUEBERRY EXTRACT, vitamin C, giant sea kelp extract and so much more. And can you guess what you smell the most in this? I think you can. That's right blueberries. Now please tell me, who wouldn't want a facial moisturizer that smells fruity and delicious? Not only does it smell amazing! But it also makes my skin super soft!
What I do everyday is start off with the OZ Naturals Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser, then use the Ocean Mineral Tonic(Facial Toner), and lastly I use the Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer. After that my face is set! My skin is super soft and feels so fresh! If you are looking for all new facial products that are all natural I definitely recommend this for you!

OZ Naturals Tonic Facial Toner

To be honest I have never used a facial toner before. A couple years ago if you had asked me if I knew what a facial toner was, I would have been like "Huh?" And I really didn't really take good care of my skin. sure I used acne cleanser but that was it. There are so many different skin care products that help protect and repair your skin, such as a facial toner. For those of you who don't know what facial toner is/does here is a brief description:

What is facial toner? It is a skin toner that is a wash or lotion that cleanse the skin and helps shrink pores. It is usually used on the face but can be used anywhere. It works best for people with oily and/or acne-prone skin or someone who just wants an extra cleansing layer after wearing makeup or sunscreen. 

What are its benefits? It can ad a layer of protection on the skin, moisturize, refresh skin, prevent ingrown hairs, shrink pores, and help boost your pH balance. 
(if you would like a more in depth description of any of these here is a link to a great article about facial toner and why you should be using it: 6 Reasons Why You Should Use a Facial Toner.)

Now I started using the OZ Naturals products about two months or so ago and I fell in love with them. I absolutely love reviewing their products! They always have a great smell to them and great results. One of the greatest things about their products is that they are all natural, so no harsh chemicals! My most recent product of theirs has been the Tonic Facial Toner. I have been using it everyday, once a day for a week or two and it is amazing. It makes my skin super soft (mixed with their Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer my face is like a babies butt). I have always had oily skin, and I have now noticed that my skin has been less oily, Which is a blessing! The only complaint that I have is if I have a breakout, the tonic hurts it for a few seconds but does fade quickly.
My daily routine has been: I start with their Ocean Mineral Cleanser then the Tonic Facial Cleanser, and last the Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer. I really love their products, and if you decide to purchase them, I hope you do to!

Valdler Flower Feather Mesh Net Derby Hat

Hello readers! I am reviewing the Valdler Womens Girls Flower Feather Mesh Net Fascinator with Clip Derby Hat. Here is a little about the product:
This Valdler Elegant Feather Mesh Fascinator Clip is fun for everyday, and wonderful for special occasions and outdoor events. The style is trendy and stunning, will definitely get a lot of compliments at your prom, tea party, Kentucky Derby, church gathering, jazz up, summer picnic, wedding, or any other special soiree. Ladies or girls, both look awesome. one size fits all and clip underneath the mesh is secured and flawless. No worries about any shifting or coming off if you are dancing or being active. Also it is very light and breathable. A lovely addition to any females hat collection!

About package: the fascinator will be shipped in a resealable plastic bag and might be a little out of shape due to pressure, but please do not worry that just taking it out, fluffing it up and it will it get back into the proper shape.

I was really excited when I got approved to review this product! I have seen this brand before and loved all of their beautifully made products! This one is no different. First, and the only complaint I have about this product, it came in a small plastic bag, so it got a little flat. However, after playing with it a little bit, I was able to position it how I liked! Second it is very cute and stylish! It is perfect for a formal occasion or maybe even for my daughter when she gets older(she could have tea parties or play dress up). Third this derby hat is very comfortable and light weight! Some clips are hard and heavy, and they give me head aches, not this! I could forget I am even wearing it because it is so light! More about the clip; it is a very sturdy, strong, and great quality clip! I have thin hair and a lot of hair clips just slip off. Yet this one does not! It stays in place and  I don't have to worry about fixing it!

Update!

Long time no write huh? Sorry it has been so long since I wrote, my life has been crazy recently. For those of you who do not know, my husband has a very serious heart condition called Cardiomyopathy. When he was a baby (only three days old) he caught an infection in his belly button and it attacked his heart. If you would like to look into what that is exactly, here is a very well written article about it: Cardiomyopathy.
Well recently he has been going to doctors appointments to see if he qualifies for either a transplant or for an LVad (is a pump that used for patients who have reached end-stage heart failure. They surgically implant the LVAD, a battery-operated, mechanical pump, which then helps the left ventricle (main pumping chamber of the heart) pump blood to the rest of the body. It has a plug that comes out of his body and he either has to have it plugged in or connected to a battery pack 24/7.). Well just last week we got a call saying that he was approved for a heart transplant, and he is on the list!! He was told by a nurse that because of his blood type, he has a very high chance of getting a heart at any time because not many patients have his blood type! We are super excited that something is finally happening!
So dealing with all of that and having an almost four month old baby girl (she turns four months on March 10th) my life has been crazy! Hopefully within the next 24 hours I can get some reviews posted for you guys, so stay tuned for those!

Classic Human Anatomy in Motion by Valerie L. Winslow

Classic Human Anatomy in Motion by Valerie L. Winslow is a great reference book for anyone who is taking an art class! When I was in high school, I took a couple different drawing classes. One of the first things we had to draw was someones face first with pencil, then shade with charcoal. As a freshman that was the hardest things I had to draw. Then came junior year and with it came drawing the full frame of someone. I really struggled with this. It is extremely hard to get proportions right, even when looking at a photo for guidance.
I wish that my school would have had this book, or one similar, because this book goes into such amazing detail of the body! It is an amazing book! If you are an artist and struggle with anatomy, just want a deeper look into it, or like to learn about the human body, then this is a perfect book for you! This book goes into amazing detail about Anatomy in motion! This is a perfect "instruction manual" on drawing the human figure. 
Winslow's book has such beautifully drawn illustrations. Also the information in it is very vast! It teaches you so much about anatomy, like how the body moves, and even why they look the way they do! It is a book that you have to sit down with a notebook and highlighter! 
If you would like to check out this book (which I definitely recommend that you do) it can be purchase wherever books are sold! So go check it out! 
I received this product for my honest review!
