Lovell Dennis {Product Review}

Just a warning, these pictures are awful. I tried. But it's really, really hard to take pictures of yourself wearing a t-shirt. A no one wanted to help me, so I had no other choice but to try it myself.


This is the Hunger Games/Catching Fire t-shirt from Lovell Dennis on Etsy. I received it in the mail a week ago. It's light and fits well enough. The fabric is a bit rough, but it hasn't been broken in yet. After a wash or two, it should soften a bit.

 
You can't see the shirt very well, and I'm sorry for that. You can see what it says "Mellark Bakery. Since 2086. District 12." Of course, they made up the date. But it's close enough, I suppose.


It's pretty comfortable. I ordered a size small. It's unisex, so it's a bit baggy on me. And the sleeves are pretty big. They reach just a few inches past the shoulder.

 
 
 
It's a really cool shirt. I enjoy wearing it.


The back is plain. No words or pictures. I mean, you wouldn't exactly want to wear a picture of bread or cupcakes on your back, would you? If that's your thing, though . . .
 
 
100% cotton, ect ect. I didn't read the washing instructions because I don't know how to read those. Pretty sure you have to study a whole new language to figure that out. Like Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Overall, it's a great t-shirt.

You can find it HERE.

Rheas Renditions {Product Review}


Hey, everyone! Another review for you!
This shop is A M A Z I N G. I love it! This bracelet is a very study, light-weight bracelet.


It's handmade. It has a bottle-cap kind of feel to it. The laces that you wrap around your wrist is a very soft, lovely suede. I am in love with suede. It's comfortable and simple, but it's beautiful.


You can't really see the color in this picture. Trust me, the color is fabulous. Very deep and it stands out in the light. The suede is comfortable, and it doesn't dig into your arm, like I thought it might.



Real or not real, printed out on a burnt scrap of paper. The texture of the bracelet is fantastic. No sharp edges that could cut into you. It's gentle.


The only thing I don't really like about it is how long the laces are. It's very complicated to tie. I'm probably not even doing it right.

As you can see, there's a lot of excess lace left. Two laces on each side. So, my confusion has to be understandable, right? I'm not very good at figuring out how to tie these things. Might as well ask me to solve a Rubik cube.


The color came out a little better here. Oh, did I mention these are Limited Edition? Of course I didn't. And, you can choose your own colors. Say, you don't really care for the copper, but you love the blue. I'm sure she can work something out for you. There's also black suede, if you don't care for the brown. I, personally, think the brown is best. I've seen red, too. And green.



It's very slim. I love it.


They're not all fandom related. She has many others, and not all bracelets. She has bottle-cap necklaces, earrings, and a bunch of other cool stuff. She has a lot of steampunk, Hunger Games/Divergent, video game, and just random pieces of jewelry and hair accessories. You really should check her out.

You can find here here, at RheasRenditions. And for this particular bracelet, you can find it HERE.

Please, please, PLEASE go look at her shop. You wouldn't believe how awesome it is.

Thanks for reading! Now go check her stuff out!

A Happy Thought Indeed {Product Review}

Hello, lovely people!

I have a review for you today, *Effie voice on* brought to you all the way from the Capitol! Okay, no, it's not. It's actually from a really lovely lady over on Etsy. She sent me a Hunger Games book page pendant necklace for free in return of a review.



Isn't it lovely? It even has a little Mockingjay attached to it!

What I love most about this necklace is the quality. You wouldn't think it'd be very sturdy, but it is. But it's not heavy (obviously). It's light and simple, but very charming and pretty. It doesn't over-do itself. Which means you don't have to worry about wearing it with the wrong outfit, because it can go with anything.

Trust me, I tried to make it out-do something.



It's not at all from the Capitol. So you can't pretend you're Effie with this.

Again, trust me. I've tried.

There's nothing wrong with it. The chain is sturdy and will be hard to break. So it's great if you have, say, six little siblings who like to break your necklaces like I do. That's right, brother. Don't plan on breaking this here necklace.

I was expecting the pendant to say "Katniss," but it didn't. But it DOES say Peeta, so I got the next best thing! I'm really glad it didn't say Gale. I would have cried 'cuz I'd have to send it to Abri since she likes Gale and I don't. Anyone's name but Gale's. She could have sent me "President Snow" and I would have been happy.

Every Hunger Games fan needs one of these. And even if you're not a Hunger Games fan, you still need one! Why? Because she has one's that aren't for Hunger Games fans. Say you like Pride and Prejudice? She has some for you! And she has one's for maps. And . . . okay, okay, I'll just give you her link so you can see what she has for yourself.

Check her out at A Happy Thought Indeed. You won't regret it. All of her stuff is eight dollars and under. And they are awesome!


Also, can we just talk about her awesome cards?


I mean, really. They are PERF.

That's all for today! Now GO. Go check out her shop!
