Feu de L’eau: Luxurious Handmade Candles In Summer Scents

Jul 30

Disclosure: All photos belong to Feu de L’eau but opinions here are my own!

Regardless of what season it is I love to surround myself with scents that make me feel happy. Scent is a powerful thing and it amazes me how it can change my mood within minutes. This is why I have several candles in my own, floating around in different rooms with various but similar scents lit throughout the day.

Best Buy Is A Great Holiday Shopping Destination! #BBYHoliday13

Nov 15

By this time every year I have at least started my holiday shopping. The earlier the better! I hate the crowds, searching for deals, and missing out on that ONE thing that someone on my list has to have. By making a list and checking it twice, I am able to get a head start on gift giving while getting everything for a good price. First stop on my list? Best Buy. Best Buy is the authority and destination for all your technology and appliance product gifting needs this holiday.

Perfect Your Pout For The Holidays With Sephora & VIB Shopping Event This Month!

Nov 04

This week I took the time to browse the newest and existing gift sets Sephora has to offer during the holidays online and in store. I’ve been gravitating towards lip products lately and noticed that they have so many gift sets from brands that I love. Each year I pick up a few of their Sephora Favorite’s Fragrance Samplers because they make great gifts for any age or gender. Last Christmas I purchased one for my mom and my boyfriend because I always spend hours deciding what scent they would like best. With this gift set they were able to smell several samples and redeem for a full sized fragrance of their choice. Such an awesome concept when people are difficult to shop for!

Harvard Sweet Boutique Gourmet Treats #Review

Jun 28

I have a weakness for sweets and gourmet treats! When it comes to gift giving and treating myself, I can’t think of anything more indulging than an assortment of handmade goodies. When asked to review the Harvard Sweet Boutique I couldn’t wait to receive my package and get to sampling. Not only did everything taste delicious, but my cravings were satisfied! Started in 2007 by Susan George, the Harvard Sweet Boutique is responsible for creating treats from scratch and fresh ingredients. Each product is handmade and contains natural ingrediants including high quality flour, cocoa butter, pure vanilla extract, and grade A butter.

The Harvard Sweet Boutique has done a fabulous job of turning your typical sweet gift into a whimsical, unique, and memorable experience. We all enjoy receiving flowers, teddy bears, and gift boxes of goodies. But isn’t it exciting when something different arrives at our doorstep? The thing that I love the most about Harvard Sweet Boutique is their adorable packaging. Each order comes in a quirky gift box with a bright colored bow. Every box has a different pattern and set of vibrant colors. This makes the whole gift process even more fun! You can also choose with box you would like at the checkout process. This ensures dad or your husband won’t end up with a hot pink box and polka dot bow. In the picture below you can see many of the different options they offer. Picking out the packaging is just as exciting as what is inside! Many other sweet boutiques and online retailers don’t offer this option. I love that you have that extra say in personalizing your gift even further than just a card. Plus the gift box is so nice it can be saved and reused for other occasions.

Now let’s get into the good stuff! Harvard Sweet Boutique has a variety of gourmet brownies, cookies, bars, and toffee. They even have choices within their low carbohydrate and gluten free section. There is something for everyone. Build a gift for your boss, create a care package for your child in college, or just send a surprise to a friend. You name it, they offer it! After tasting these treats you may end up sending on to yourself, just because. No matter what the occasion is you can choose between the different treats, levels of pricing, and flavors within the products. There are goodies with oatmeal, coconut, fruit, caramel, nuts, chocolate, and toffee. Talk about accommodating! This is a sweet tooth’s paradise. My favorite treat ended up being the Buttercrunch cookies. They were chewy and packed with chunks of toffee. I have never tasted anything like them. The creaminess and buttery flavor made them very unique and addicting!

Whether you are giving a gift for a special occasion or just treating yourself, Harvard Sweet Boutique has a lot to offer. I am looking forward to using them for the holidays and the many birthdays I have marked on my calendar.  If you are interested in learning more about the Harvard Sweet Boutique be sure to stop by their website! Also, connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.

A special thanks to the Harvard Sweet Boutique for providing me with as assortment of gourmet treats to try!

Knock Knock Stuff : Clump-O-Lump Toys Review

Dec 19

Do you ever find that you child plays with their most simple toys more than those with a million parts or pieces? I know I do on a daily basis. While Toodie has a treasure trove of puzzles and blocks in her room, she always goes for that one strange toy that gives her hours of enjoyment. It may not make much sense to me as a mom but it goes to show that the silliest toys can be the most entertaining!  If you find yourself in the same position as I am then you may appreciate the wacky hybrid creatures known as Clump-O-Lumps. What the heck is a Clump-O-Lump? It is a large stuffed toy that is available in six different animals including a tiger, squid, frog, shark, bumble bee, and chirpin birdie. But don’t be fooled, these aren’t your traditional snuggly stuffed animals.

Can you believe it’s ALREADY September? The holidays are just around the corner and if you are like me, you have already begun your shopping. Before the holiday rush I always head to my favorite retailers to get a glimpse and idea of what I will be purchasing this year. We all know that the earlier you get started shopping, the sooner you will finish. Many well known stores already have their holiday merchandise displayed including Target, Walmart, Kmart, and even Toys R Us. Among these stores is one of my favorite places to shop and stretch my dollar. Kmart not only offers a huge selection and variety for everyone on my shopping list, but they also have a layaway program that makes the experience stress free.

If you have never used a layaway program before, Kmart is the best place to give it a try.  As you can see in the chart above, there is no comparison between Kmart and many of the other well known retailers offering layaway programs. Kmart understands the current state of the economy and how the holidays can add extra stress on families that may not be able to afford all of their holiday gifts at once. They offer a full range of merchandise that can be found online and in store. There is no minimum and they have several types of contracts available to fit your financial needs. They are also now offering a free layaway on all new Kmart purchases made between 9/9 and 11/17/2012.  Now is the perfect time to grab those items you have had your eye on, and place them safely in layaway. By doing this you also have a chance to win some amazing prizes! 
Here are a few of the items I would put on layaway for the holidays. The furbie craze is coming back! I am sure these are going to ber very HOT when Christmas rolls around.
