Suuchi Scarf! {Review + Giveaway}

  Hey, girls! To start off today's post, I want to congratulate Victoria Grace Tucker on winning the Christmas scarf giveaway. For those of you who didn't win... No worries. There will be a wonderful new opportunity at the end of this post. Today I am back with a review from Suuchi. I received this product free in exchange for my honest review.

 Suuchi is a company that makes tons of customizable (sometimes drool worthy) clothing. They've got lots of dresses, blouses, and more. They offered me one of their scarves to review, my choice. There were a couple of initial problems, most of these were probably my fault. The only reason I mention them at all is to point out what a fabulous effort the Suuchi team made to help me out when I was confused or having any issues. Any company that takes the time to help you and will try their best to accomodate you without acting irritated about it gets points in my book.

 The scarf arrived in a pretty quick amount of time, another nice thing. I chose the color orange sunset because I loved the pretty design and color. Here is a picture of me in the outfit I wore today. For some reason the dimensions look a bit strange and I'm sorry about the lighting! It was dark by the time we were able to do photos.

As you can see from the picture, the scarf has a shimmery quality to it that is really pretty. It's a very long scarf. In the picture it has already been folded in half and then over my neck. Some might not like this length, but I think it's a nice addition. It makes it simpler to wrap around your neck.

Here's one slightly closer. It still doesn't show the complete detail of the scarf so I'm going to share one more.

 Here we go. The detail on this scarf is gorgeous. It is my favorite part of the piece. The scarf is light, but thick, and feels like quality. It has a silky texture to it that feels great against the skin and you could also wear it as a wrap (or belt) because it quite thick as well as long. 

 I am so pleased with this scarf. One never knows what they'll get over the internet, but I think I can safely say that Suuchi makes quality products. I have so enjoyed working with this company and having the opportunity to review this product. If you would like to check out this product, visit here.

Julienne Vegetable Peeler {Product Review} & Giveaway

Hello, my friends! Tonight I am reviewing something that could be useful around the house, more specifically the kitchen. That thing is the Ultra Sharp Dual Julienne Peeler from Keri's Kitchen. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

 This is a new type of peeler. It isn't that little one that is so hard to push down and peel with.  This one is shaped rather differently than you would expect, but it is pretty amazing. So far my mom has used it to cute up vegetables and she loves the thing. It cuts precise, thin strips. These thin strips can be used for multiple purposes.

 I think my mom's favorite aspect is that it is sharp, easy to lose, and cuts such a thin peel and she doesn't have to worry about it being too thick or anything as it does its work naturally. It also doesn't waste any of your vegetable. She recommends that it doesn't be kept around children though, which is pretty much a given because the blades are sharp.

The cleaning brush.

 The peeler is stainless steel, which is pretty awesome and means that it should last much longer than something that might be plastic or something. It also has a lifetime guarantee so if anything ever happens to it, we can get it taken care of.
It also comes with a small cleaning brush, which I think is a pretty cool addition.

 Mom's verdict on this is that it is a wonderful product, and at less than $9 on Amazon, it's a pretty valuable item you can have.

All right. Before I go, they've offered to give away a peeler! If you want to try this yourself, comment below! Tell me what your favorite vegetable is. :)

 Also, the washguard giveaway is ending soon!

Washguard Lingerie Bag {Product Review}

Okay, if there are any guys lurking... this post is for the ladies. I mean, it could possibly be useful for the fellas, but the content is mostly lady focused. Tonight I have the pleasure of reviewing a Washguard Lingerie Bag from IX Better Home.

 Here's just a simple photo we took of the bag by itself.

 I'd like to start by saying what an amazing company this is for their customer service. Every question I had to ask was promptly answered with politeness and care. I think this is the best company I've worked with when it comes to customer care and that is so important.

 The bag is high quality. You can tell that it was made with care. It is made with high quality polyester. You use it to wash delicates. You know how when you wash delicates (like uncerclothing, blouses, socks, stockings, and scarves) and they can get torn or caught or knotted? Well this bag prevents that. Because of the specific way it is designed, its contents are protected from

the annoying and common clothing problems.

 It comes in a couple of sizes. I believe mine is the medium size, which is bigger than it looks in the photos, in actuality around 12 x 16 inches. So it actually fits several items. My mom says it works great.

 If you're tired of all the problems I mentioned, this might be the perfect solution. And guess what? IX Better Home has offered a free bag to one of our readers! To enter, all you have to win all you have to do is comment on our facebook page, mentioning the bags, or leave a comment here! Giveaway ends on the 31 so don't wait!

 You can buy one of these bags here.

BeTheLight Tees GIVEAWAY!

 

I don't know about you, but I have a ton of t-shirts in my closet. I don't know what it is about them, but they're almost like my default when it comes to tops. They're comfy, practical and oh so casual.

 

Anyway, I especially like them when they happen to have cool quotes, geeky references or 'Christian' messages.

 

Be The Light Tees offers some awesome t-shirts that fall under that last category. Here are a few of the many styles they offer. I was sent six shirts to review/use for a giveaway so check it out! (a GIVEAWAY!!!!)

 

 

"Grace Peace Love" 

This is one of my favorites. I love how bright and colorful it is.

 

 

 

"Real Love" Another favorite. I wear it everywhere. It says "Real love is unconditional." So true! Love the Bible verse referenced also.  

 

 

 

 

"Psalms 103" I really like this one as well. One, because of the dandelion on the front. I love dandelions! Two, the verse on the back - such a marvelous reminder and promise!

 

 

 

Last but not least, we have not one by THREE t-shirts that will be given away to ONE 'lucky' winner! All shirts are in size medium.

 

"Blessed are those who Mourn..."

 

 

"Keep Calm in the Belly of the Whale"

 

 

"Storm"  So cute!

(The lighting here was weird, obviously. Don't know why it made the fabric look gray.)

 

I love my shirts from BeTheLight! They have some cool designs and I love the company's mission to point others to Christ through what you wear. Go check them out!

  

What are you waiting for? We've got a GIVEAWAY going, folks!! Get your entries in before it's too late!

Dual Review & Another Giveaway! (TWO WINNERS!)

 

Hola chicas!

Today I have something a little different for you.

First, a dual review including products from Dazzling Adornments and Capurro Customs.

And later, we'll be having another giveaway, and this time not only one but two winners will be chosen! Stay tuned!

 

So, I was sent a cool array of handcrafted no-piercing jewelry from Dazzling Adornments. All the pieces are pictured above in the photo collage.

 

They are:

the pink silver heart charm ear cuff

the double lip ring

the triple ear cuff

the nose ring

the copper ear cuff

 And, my favorite of them all, the leaf-chain ear cuff, which I can't seem to find a link to on Etsy, sadly.

 

All of these pieces are no-pierce and easily fastened as they can be bent slightly to be adjusted to your own liking. My favorite thing about this kind of jewelry is that it does NOT require piercings!

 

Now, I've been an ear cuff wearer for a little while now, and I love how unique ear cuffs are as compared to 'regular' earrings. I've had kids compliment me on how "that looks really cool!" And my friends tell me they think that ear cuffs look Tolkien-esque, or at least reminiscent of the Elvish societies. Which is definitely a positive! But other peoples' reactions aside, I just like ear cuffs period.

 

The leaf-chain cuff pictured above is one of my favorite cuffs now. And speaking of Elvish-ness, it certainly looks like something straight out of Rivendell or Lothlorien to me! I love the silver color and subtle-ness of the chain and delicate leaf charm. A very sophisticated cuff for sure!

 

All the other cuffs are made with a pliable yet substantial silver or copper wire. They are very lightweight. You can easily forget you're even wearing them.

 

I am sorry to say that I don't wear lip or nose cuffs so therefore I can't say much on their wear-a-bility. Honestly, I just wouldn't like something metal on my lip or nose. That's just me. I have nothing against it theologically or anything like that, because for one thing we see in the Old Testament where Isaac gave Rebecca a gold nose ring, among other examples. To me it's just a matter of personal preference to only wear ear jewelry as far as this is concerned.

 

But! For anybody out there who does wear lip or nose cuffs, it's your 'lucky' day...and you'll see why!

 

Overall, I have enjoyed wearing the leaf-chain cuff very much, and concerning the other cuffs, I would wear them in a heartbeat as well (with the exception of the nose and lip cuffs) if it weren't for the fact that one of you fabulous people will be...oh, I'm getting ahead of myself. Just keep reading!

 

Bottom line? Dazzling Adornments gets my seal of approval!

 

 

Next we have two elegant items from Capurro Customs! I was sent a custom black and cream skirt and Black lace infinity scarf.

 

The skirt is pictured above. I absolutely LOVE the fabric! It's actually very similar to that of my bedroom curtains...maybe that's why I was initially drawn to it, haha. (I love my curtains.) It's quaint, old-timey and feminine. I love the black white contrast, with the old-fashioned designs on the fabric.  So cute!

 

 Sadly, this skirt was too short on me. The hem fell a bit above my knees, and the shortest skirt I will wear is knee length. Bummer! It has a durable elastic waistband with a good bit of give, so you can wear it at your natural waist, higher, or really whichever way you like. So that wasn't the issue.

The length just didn't work on my long legs. For a girl who's shorter than me (I'm 5'8") it would be completely modest though...knee-length or longer.

 

As far as the craftsmanship of this skirt goes, it's flawless. I would definitely wear this skirt if it were a tad longer and maybe with a little more fabric to it in general, say, more of an A-line design with some flare at the bottom.

 

 

Now, the scarf I will be keeping. Who doesn't love black lace or just lace in general? What's more feminine than a nice lace scarf??

 

 

My pictures are pretty bad. So therefore I'm including a few from the Capurro Customs Etsy page.

 

 

 

As you can see, this would work with just about any outfit on the face of the earth. Black goes with everything! And since this is entirely lace, it's lightweight and could be used as a spring/summer scarf indefinitely. I love it!

 

Purchase this scarf here.

 

 Overall, I have to give Capurro Customs a double thumbs up. And yes, that also means I give it my seal of approval! The quality is superb, and the aesthetics of the products captivating and delightful.

 

NOW. For the moment you've all been waiting for! At least, I hope you have...

 

We're having another giveaway!!

 

In this one, you can enter to win either the skirt from Capurro Customs (shown above) or a set of cuffs from Dazzling Adornments.

The skirt is a size medium/small roughly, with a 30-31 inch waist (can stretch to larger). Picture how cute it would be with some cowboy boots and black tights/leggings underneath!
 

The cuff jewelry you will be winning includes the pink ear cuff, the double lip ring, the triple ear cuff, the nose ring, and the copper ear cuff. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two winners will be chosen - one will get the skirt, and one will get the cuff set!
