  It is a firm belief of mine that you can't ever have too many bags! Functionality goes a long way over prettiness in my book! However, the Gonex Canvas Drawstring Bag is functional as well as nice looking!

 

 The Gonex Bag is made of high intensity, extremely durable 100% cotton and is rugged enough to withstand trooping through the wilderness. It measures 12x9 inches and can hold up to 20 lbs, making it a perfect hiking or travel bag. A very thick durable rope serves as a drawstring as well as the backpack strap for the bag. It's actually surprisingly comfortable to wear and sits nicely over one shoulder. I got mine in the Dark Green color since I'm intending to give it to my husband. He collects army bags and survival gear and this color actually matches the other army bags pretty well. Overall, this bag is very well put together with nice tight stitching and excellent craftsmanship. I love the neat stitched logo near the bottom of the bag and am very impressed with the high quality of the bag itself!

  I'm a stay at home mom and slippers are one of my must have daily items. I love being able to just slip on something comfy to run outside real quick or to wear around the house to keep my feet cozy. Chicup makes some extremely comfortable, really plush slippers that nestle my feet in complete comfort!

 I got the slippers in a lovely blue color that just looks so plush! The slippers are made of a coral velvet that is very soft and comfortable. It's very fuzzy and comfortable and feels wonderful on bare feet. The inside is somewhat cushioned and almost feels like memory foam, which is wonderful for wearing while walking around the house. The soles are made of TPR and are textured to provide a good grip while walking on smooth floors. I hate slippers that make me slip and slide all over the place! These never slipped and gave me very good grip on all my floors. I got a size Medium (8-9) and they were a little large on me, but they fit my husband perfectly. I absolutely love the rich color and they are a true pleasure to wear! Being slip-ons, they are absolutely perfect for my daily needs!

 I'm a bit of an earring junkie. I have dozens of pairs because I just can't see, to get enough of them! I'm not big on piercings, but I did pierce my ears three times just because I love having that extra bling peeking out from under my hair. I love shiny, glittery, earrings with jewels in them. 

  These gorgeous ear cuff earrings from Everu make me just sigh with pleasure! They cover the whole bottom part of my ear and look completely stunning! The earrings come in a cute little pink gift box that is absolutely perfect for gifting! They're silver plated and nickel free with a  925 sterling silver post and real CZ diamond accents. The backs are silver with the plastic guard around the edges.  They sit on the ear perfectly and really are just gorgeous! They don't look all cheap like other earrings, they actually look high quality! These earrings are stunning and go amazing with any outfit whether it's casual or formal!

 My natural hair is poofy and curly like a lion's mane. I usually shower at night and then straighten it first thing in the morning. I NEVER leave the house without my hair fixed! I usually use a Chi flat iron since other straighteners never seem to keep my hair straight for long. One thing I worry about with that straightener is that it dries my hair out and damages it too much. I've tried a steam straightener and it didn't even begin to get my hair right, so I was pretty skeptical trying out the Sela Beauty Steam Straightener. Surprisingly, it worked better than my good ol Chi!

 The Sela Beauty Ultrasonic Steam Straightener has a revolutionary ultrasonic cool steam function to give added moisture and shine to your hair. It has floating ceramic plates that are much wider than other flat irons, meaning you can do bigger sections at once. The cord swivels 360 degrees to reach any position without tangling. A small water tank is on the top of the straightener, you simply remove it by pushing an unlock lever, fill with tap water, shake and pop back in. You can choose to have the steam on or off, depending on your preference at the time. There's 5 heat settings- 305 ,340, 375, 410 and 445 which you can adjust with +/- buttons on either side of the power button. It has an immediate heat up and stays at a stable temperature the whole time.

 The straightener heated up in just a few seconds after turning it on. The steam comes out of a tiny whole at the base of the plates, and it wasn't hot or painful whatsoever. As you can see, my hair was pretty bushy and wavy after just brushing it. I was able to straighten my hair faster than I would with my other flat iron since it handles bigger sections. The steam made a sizzling noise, but I've straightened my hair wet many times, so it wasn't too startling to me. It only took one good pass with the straightener to get my hair straight, yet I ran it through a second time just for good measure. It was very easy to hold and wasn't clunky like other steam straighteners can be. 
   My hair definitely feels moister and looks shinier than my usual results with a flat iron. It held the straightness very well for the rest of the day and felt a lot softer. My only lament is the water tank seemed too small and I had to refill it halfway through straightening. Other than that, this straightener works awesomely and my hair feels so much more moist and healthy!

  I'm currently six months pregnant with my second lil boy. I remember when my first one was teething and it was a true pain- literally! He would randomly bite me or gnaw on my shirt or any other thing that just happened to be in his reach. I've never heard of teething necklaces, and now that I know about them, I'm going to stock up on as many as I can! It's pure genius!

  This cute little set came in a tiny little box that would be perfect for gifting to a new mommy! The package includes an authentic Baltic Amber teething necklace and a bonus silicone teething necklace- one for the baby and one for you!
  The Baltic Amber necklace is the perfect teething toy with all natural analgesic properties to help soothe teething pain. You don't have to worry about your little one's safety when they use it since the necklace is knotted so the amber won't break apart and is strong enough to withstand even the strongest of little hands. The amber is hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, so you never have to worry about it being a breeding ground for germs. You can easily clean it by wiping with a warm damp rag. The amber is warm to the touch and claims to boost the immune system and increase your baby's mood. The necklace securely clasps with a screw type connection that is strong and won't be yanked off by a zesty baby. The amber necklace is designed for the babies to wear and is a gorgeous piece suitable for female or male babies!
   A special bonus silicone teething necklace is included for mommy to wear. The silicone necklace is a gorgeous shade of bright pink that looks absolutely stunning against dark colored shirts. It is made of food grade silicone that is 100% non-toxic, BPA free and baby safe. You never have to worry about them accidentally ingesting harmful chemicals from this necklace! The silicone ring is soft yet firm and help sooth your baby's teeth and gums as they chew on it. The color and design are eye catching so they'll go for the necklace instead of pawing at your shirt or earrings. The necklace has a fully adjustable length so you can choose how long you would like to wear it. The connections in the back just pull apart, but you have to put a little bit of force to get it open and the baby shouldn't be able to yank it off of you. 
  Both of these necklaces are extremely fashionable and fully functional! They'll go with just about any outfit and look like a fashion statement as well as save your clothes and you from being chewed on by a teething little one. These would make a spectacular gift for a new mommy!

  I just recently "discovered" baby bandana bibs. I think they are just so adorable, and they're also like a fashion statement while still being completely functional! I was given the opportunity to review this baby bandana bib set by Arimy Baby. Since I'm currently expecting my second lil boy in a few months, I jumped at the chance to review these.

 The first thing I noticed (besides the adorable designs), was how they underside is nicely padded and very soft. These bibs would be perfect to put on a shirtless baby without any chafing whatsoever! The snaps are metal with two different positions on each side for the perfect fit. The bibs are nice and precut, so you don't have to worry about folding them to the perfect bandana shape. They seem very durable, the edges are well stitched and these seem like high quality bibs! And have I mentioned that they are just too adorable? The bibs came in four completely gender neutral designs. There's a white with gray/red polka dots, an Aqua with Brown spots, a Yellow with Glasses and my favorite- a Black with cute white owls on it!  They are too cute and will pair nicely with a variety of outfits!

 I'm not a big purse type of gal, I always find them getting in my way somehow. I occasionally like wearing a fanny pack when we go on daytrips to places though since they're more convenient and secure. Say you have to go on a roller coaster- you can't take your purse and you have to leave it unsupervised somewhere. You CAN take a fanny pack with you though. But let's face it, fanny packs are considered dorky and outdated by most people. Well not this one! This leather fanny pack is actually very stylish and edgy! I don't mind being seen in public wearing it!

 The Hybrid Hip Fanny pack is made of a luxurious full grain black leather with hand stitched white threading. The stitching is very precise, tight and durable and will last a very long time. The fully adjustable waist belt fits waists from 30" to 40" and can also double as a shoulder strap if you'd prefer.   The easy pull zippers are of really nice quality, they're not the cheapie ones that get put out there nowadays. The toggle fastener on one pocket is very strong and made of quality metal as well. There is one large pocket which measures about 10 inches long and will easily carry larger travel items. The two smaller compartments measure 4x5" and fit a cell phone or wallet perfectly.
   The whole fanny pack measures 10" long, 6.5" high and 1" deep. It can carry all your essential items and still not be too bulky. I love the stylish, modern look of this pack and it is great for either men or women. I absolutely love the genuine leather smell that comes with it! The texture is very smooth and pleasant to the touch and you can tell that it really is genuine leather!
