Vat 19 Soapsicle Popsicle Bomb Pop Review

Vat 19 is an incredible online store that offers the most unique and coolest gifts!  This site is great!  They have something for nearly anyone of any age.  From office gear, kitchen stuff, games, to candles and more. You should check them out! 

Vat 19 sent me over their incredible Soapsicle Popsicle, Bomb Pop for review.  I chose this item because I knew my son, Brice, would love it!  Super cute!  It arrived neatly and securely packed.  My son loves popsicles, so for him to be able to wash with one, well that's just neat! He had a blast bathing with his new soap. The Bomb Pop looks so real, it's amazing!  The scent is great, the top layer is cherry, then lime, and finally berry.  This is a great product, and would make an awesome gift for any child!  Just make sure they don't easily confuse it with a real popsicle! haha
Here's some info. from the Vat19's site on the Bomb Pop...

Soapsicles are handmade soaps that look and smell so delicious, you might want to eat them rather than wash with them! Each adorable soap is hand-poured and scented just like a real popsicle.

The 1st Queen Of Bling Review & Givaway

Blissful Bee Instructions for making your own memory/photo board!
Scrapbooking & Crafting Review & Giveaway

The 1st Queen of Bling is an etsy shop that sells pretty much every accessory for scrapbooking and more! She offers gems, supplies, beads, stamps, rub-ons, and stickers of all sorts. I thought it would be great to do a review with her on a few of her products and how you can use them. 

 The 1st Queen of Bling sent me over a variety of rhinestones and gems.  I thought this was perfect because not only do I scrapbook but I also handmake a variety of items that I sell in my boutique!  One of the items I used the gems on was my handmade hanging memory/photo board.  I'm going to give you instructions on how to make your own, along with the final photo!



What you'll need :
* Gems/Rhinestones, Buttons, or Pushpins
* Canvas of your choice of size
* Fabric, around 3" longer on each side then your canvas
* Glue Gun
* Ribbon of choice

~ First start with your choice of fabric laid out flat, place your canvas, face-down in the center of fabric. 
Start with one side and take the fabric and fold it around to the back, glue it down securely.
Do this for all four sides of your canvas, you will have to pull the fabric tight to avoid wrinkles.
~ Next, lay out your ribbon across the fabric and canvas, and glue it down on the back side of the canvas. ( be sure to pull the ribbon tight like you did the fabric.  You want the ribbon to be tight enough for it to hold photos or notes in place)
repeat this with the rest of your ribbon, and then start from the other side, crossing them over.
*Remember, make sure it's tight and the same width apart from each other*
Choose a piece of ribbon or string for hanging your board.  Your going to glue it down to the back side of the canvas also.  Make sure it's even from the sides of the board
~ Now, with your choosen gems, hot glue them down to the ribbon ONLY, where it crosses with another piece. This is going to make a 'diamond shape'. Make sure you don't use to much glue!
~ After finishing attaching your gems you're going to fix the back of the board from showing all the glue and such.You can cut out a solid colored fabric and glue over the backside.  This is going to hide 'the mess' and seal it up.
~ That's it, you're finished!

CSN All Modern Review

 I was offered to do a review by CSN on my choice of product from their list of companys.  I chose a beanbag chair from All Modern.  I cannot wait to receive this in my mailbox!  Actually, it would be impossible for this to fit! I chose this for my son, Brice, who is going to love it! This Twilight designer brand, Polka Dot Beanbag Chair is not your ordinary beanbag!  It's incredible, at the size of 70"x 55", it's def. an original!  My son picked out the beanbag in the Chocolate color , since his room is designed in UT LongHorn decor, this will match up perfectly.  I cannot wait to receive this, as soon as I get it in I will post the review along with photos, so stay tuned! ; )

Tie Buddies Review & Giveaway

Mom Invented, Kid Approved!

Tying your shoes is a small but essential skill, one you use for the rest of your life. Help your little one learn faster with Tie BuddiesTM. These cute, kid-friendly devices act as easy pull-tabs for small hands, taking messy loops out of the equation. The happy characters make a game of it, resulting in a strong knot and even stronger recall.
After searching online for tips for teaching kids to tie their shoes, I came across the Tie Buddies. My oldest son, Brice, is in kindegarten so I thought this would be a great idea and product to try out for him since he wasn't able to tie his shoes yet!  We received the Red and Green Race Car Tie Budddies for review.  Brice loved them!  I have to say this is a great product and it really does teach kids how to tie their shoe laces.  I received the Tie Buddies around 2-3 weeks ago and he already knows how to tie, by himself now!  However, he loves the car design, so he is still wearing the Tie Buddies on his laces! They offer two different styles, for girls or boys.  The Tie Buddies are very simple to work, and your child will be tieing their own shoes in no time!

Scandle Travel Tin Review & Giveaway CLOSED

Closed
Congrats to winner : Damla said... My favorite scent is eucalyptus.

The Scandle Body Massage Candle is a fragrant hand-poured body massage candle that, when burned, melts to create a healthy body massage oil that can be used to enhance the health of your skin. Not only, is The Scandle Body Massage Candle healthy for your skin, but it is also healthy for the environment...emitting less soot and toxins into the environment than parrafin candles.

  I was sent one of the Scandle Travel Tins to review and love it!  The entire wax burns.  It's not like other candles that just burn straight down and then you end up with half of a candle that you can't even use because the wick is gone! I received the scent, Fig & Brown Sugar and it smells delicious.  I placed it in my bedroom and my whole room filled with the scent!  The candle is full of Vitamin E, which is incredibly great for your skin. My skin is super soft! I've been using it on my cuticles since they need a little moisture!  What's better than a candle that's also a moisturizer!? Wow!

Here's more information on the Scandle Travel Tin from the site...
Experience the ultimate massage and body indulgence with our Scandle Originals fragranced with 100% body safe fragrance oils. Scandle is in a square lightweight tin for easy application.
