First Comes Love Review & Giveaway

Cute, cute, cute! The amazing wire art done by Kathleen at First Comes Love is one of the cutest things I've seen. Kathleen is so talented and can create so many things out of wire. I find it seriously impressive! She asked me to tell her about a few different pieces of her work that I really liked and told me she would surprise me with one of them! I was very excited when the package came in the mail and I saw this extremely cute "Joy" hanging photo holder!

It looks cute with or without a photo in it and it makes me smile. It even has a cute little red butterfly on it to add a little color. It's just a cheerful addition to my home decor that I can't help but like! Along with photo holders, she makes several other awesome wire creations. Just look!

Isn't that "Bride" crown adorable?! How fun for a bachelorette party! Also, that "Love" candleholder centerpiece would be great as centerpieces on shower or wedding tables. I instantly thought that the bookmarks (she has even more styles to choose from in her shop) would make great stocking stuffers for the readers in your life. Hey, it's not too early to start thinking of Christmas gifts! There are so many great gift options and I've only shown you a fraction of them! You may be thinking "To heck with gifts, I want something for myself!" Well, you'll be happy to hear that Kathleen is offering one of my readers their choice of anything in her shop, up to $15.00!

Michy Creations Review & Giveaway

I am not a fan of a fridge covered in a bunch of mix-matched magnets and covered in stuff. I like to display special things my kids make (a few at a time) and switch them out as they make new things. I always hate that I have so many different magnets that just start to junk up my fridge and make it look like a cluttered mess when I display my boys' artwork. When I saw the adorable color coordinated, fabric covered magnets from Michy Creations, I knew they were just what my fridge needed. My kitchen walls are a deep orange and I have accents of yellow and green, so the magnets I picked below were a perfect match in my kitchen!

I have to say, I'm very impressed by the way the fabric magnets are put together and the strength of the magnets too. They easily hold all of the artwork on our fridge without sliding down. They also come in a cute little tin, so they are a perfect gift. What a cute teacher gift! These adorable fabric covered magnets aren't the only thing you will find at Michy Creations though! Look at these cute coasters, earrings and fabric covered thumbtacks!

As you can see there are some great gift options. The coasters would be a really fun housewarming gift and I want those earrings for myself! Michelle from Michy Creations has been so kind as to offer one of my readers the chance to win a set of these great Aqua and Green Paisley Fabric Covered Magnets!!!

You know you want them! Be sure to get your entries in below.

O My Soul

I found this song tonight and it gave me the chills. I am a fan of Audrey Assad, but had not heard any of her most recent music. This may be a new favorite. It is too good not to share. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Lazy Lotus Review & Giveaway

One of my favorite accessories over the past couple of years is scarves, especially infinity scarves. They are just such an easy go-to when it comes to putting some color and interest into an outfit. You can wear them in any season and instantly look pulled together. When I found Lazy Lotus on Etsy, I saw so many infinity scarves that I wanted, I knew I had to contact Jenna (the shop owner and creater of these gorgeous infinity scarves) and see if it would be possible to feature her shop and beautiful creations. She said yes! Not only did she say yes, but she gave me the pleasure of choosing any scarf to review. I was instantly drawn to a cute little floral number and knew it was the one I had to have. The name of the scarf I chose is Tropic Garden. It even just sounds lovely, but look at how cute it is!

I adore the colors and I think the pattern will be perfect for spring, summer and fall! I'm seriously loving it. I often wonder why it is that shop owners decide to make and sell the things they do, and I was excited to find that Jenna shared exactly that information with me in a note included in the package with my scarf. I would like to share that with you as well, because I enjoy the personal aspect behind things and I hope you do too! Here is what that note had to say..."Believe it or not, Lazy Lotus was inspired by one of those big, high tech office buildings in San Francisco's Financial District. Well, not inspired by the building, but more by the fashion found within it. As a 28-year-old systems analyst, Jenna Henry-Wagner was knee deep in spreadsheets and longing for a creative outlet that wouldn't require her to quit her day job. Building on her passion for work-appropriate accessories, she took up infinity scarf design and opened up the Lazy Lotus store on Etsy. Designed to add a little pop to any outfit, her scarves feature seasonal patterns inspired by the vibrant ambiance of her hometown of Oakland, California." Isn't that cool? I love that while she works a serious job during the day, she uses her creative passions and talent to create something she loves in her off-time. She has such a great eye for colors and patterns too. I mean, it was VERY hard to choose a scarf because there are SO MANY I would love to have. Below are a few of my favorites, and only a few because I had to limit myself.

Aren't they great? You HAVE TO go to her shop and look at all that she has to offer because there are a ton to choose from! While you're there, find your favorite and come back here and tell me what it is in the rafflecopter form below to get an entry in to win this awesome Chevron Dreams scarf!

Also, be sure to heart her Esty shop! She has an instagram ID too (lazylotusdesigns) that you can follow! a Rafflecopter giveaway Disclosure: I was given the mentioned item for review purposes and was not compensated in any other way.

Ruffles with Love Review & Giveaway

STRONGLY Feminine...that's the motto behind Ruffles with Love Etsy shop! You do know it's possible to be pretty and feminine and still be strong, right?! Well, in case you weren't aware, their awesome workout tanks will help prove it to you. I have been doing the Insanity workout for 7 weeks now and when I saw their "Train Insane or Stay the Same" workout tank, I knew I had to have it! I'll be doing a review on the workout program in the near future, but I agree with what this shirt says and am excited to have it to wear and further motivate me to kick my own butt! It has the strong side on the front and the flirty, feminine side on the back. I love the girly accent of the bow...because I am quite the girly girl, even though I'm trying to get stronger. Isn't it perfect?!

I like anything that makes me feel cute and motivates me at the same time. There is no way I can put this tank on and do a half-hearted workout. It makes me want to push myself that much more! Here are a couple other workout tanks that I think are great!

Aren't they awesome?! The other really cool thing they have is tanks geared toward future brides who are working on getting in shape for their wedding. What a fun way to get motivated!

Ruffles with Love takes a simple, fun approach to workout shirts. The style is a raw design that appears to be a tee with cut off sleeves into a tank and then tied up with a bow in the back. It's comfortable and nice and stretchy, which is majorly important when it comes to workout clothes. It's a style that makes me feel cute even when I'm sweating like mad...and that's quite an accomplishment in my eyes. I love my Ruffles with Love workout tank and I'm sure you would love one as well. The great news is that they are offering one of my readers a tank of your choice! That's right, any tank you like! How awesome!
