star

Have you ever thought about where the things you buy come from? Especially that ring on your left hand…Do you think about ethics and origin of your purchases? To be honest, many people do not. But you should. Brilliant Earth helps makes those choices easier ensuring that the jewels and metals used in their pieces are ethical. If you ever heard of ‘Blood Diamonds’ you will know where I am coming from. Though it seems worlds away at times mining for gemstones and metals causes environmental destruction and hinders many basic human rights, we take for granted, in other countries. Brilliant Earth offers 100% recycled and socially responsible jewelry; with certificates of verified ethical origin for each piece.

Vanquish dark circles, today! Dermacyte Oxygenating Eye Complex

eye_crem_med

Seriously STUNNED over this product. Never have I loved an eye cream so much! I have always – ALWAYS had dark circles under my eyes since I was young. No matter what I tried nothing made them fade. I thought I was to go through life looking perpetually ‘tired’. Let me tell you how tiring it gets asking “Are you tired?” So a lifelong habit of buying eye concealer became my own concession UNTIL… Dermacyte. First I was blown away by the beautiful packaging – I’m an artist and my husband is in the design field so I am automatically drawn to something packaged beautifully. But, seriously it is such a beautiful bottle, with a sloped silver pump and ornate leaf that fits into the pump to be sealed off. Ok enough about how I think this should win every package design out there. The product itself really does what it says; oxygenate, hydrates, fights dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. It is so smooth and silky going on and you just need the smallest amount to dab under the eyes. It does more than fight dark circles it knocks them out of the park.

Review: Expressionery Stationery; Express Yourself (Giveaway Closed)

ExpressioneryMommyReview-1

The art of writing (yes writing with your hand – what’s that?) is becoming a long lost art form. I remember pouring over letters I would get from pen pals all over the world. Even as an adult, I did Post Crossing, for awhile. There is just something so MAGICAL about getting mail – that is not bills and not email. Face it emails aren’t really poetic and are an everyday occurrence for most of us.

It’s that time of year again! (No, not for your pap smear)

allwrapedup

Yes, we know it’s ‘only’ Halloween but have you seen the Christmas décor creeping out?! You know that you have holiday tunes running through your head already. Our kid is singing “We wish you a Merry Christmas” and talking about what Santa HAS to bring her (Yikes!). So, it is time to get a jump on the Holiday cards – I know I do not want to be rushing around getting out cards at the last minute, or feeling guilty that I didn’t do it at all. This year we decided to use Shutterfly. Why?! Well we’ve tried various other sites, local and online companies to create our Christmas cards – but we were excited with what Shutterfly had to offer in the way of designs and ease of use this year.
