Flawless cards! These are always fabulous and my son loves pokemon cards! I am entertained when he tells me about the different cards and i love seeing him get excited when he finds something new that he doesn't have, or one that he didn't even know about! They always come enclosed in plastic and very well protected!

Sweet tooth for the Beauty products!

Pretty excited I wasn't even expecting these items but I am super glad they arrived!

Its not a huge secret that I have a slight obsession with lip balms and all things cute! This weekend I got something that I have never seen before! These are JUMBO lip balms, but they aren't just any lip balms they are tasty lip balms! ( no I didn't eat them but I so want to!) 

Marshmallow Cream & Coconut Cream Lip balms! They are delish!

Primary ingredients are coconut oil and shea butter! ( if you wanna know more you can check out their website) I will tell you this much, they glide across your lips and are very moisturizing and i love the subtle sweetness to them!

I didn't even realize til I showed my daughter the balms that she pointed out one of them is a scrub!

DUH chelsea moment! I at that point had only opened the Marshmallow Cream. I went right away and tried the lip scrub.

Lemme tell you I constantly have try lips which eventually leads to rough spots on my lips and that is super annoying. What I LOVE about the scrub is that it not only exfoliates but it also smoothes and soothes your lips at the same time! You may even get some of the sugar from the scrub to stick on your lip and that's just a yummy bonus to getting your lips smooth!

The Lip balms are pretty much double the size of standard lip products and retail online for $10. While the scrub is a little bit pricier but still affordable if you suffer with rough lips it retails for about $14. Both the lip balms and the scrub are jumbo size. 

The product line appears to be more than just great tasting lip balms and scrubs. They have a variety of face products, body scrubs and they even have some hair products as well! I myself will be interested in trying some additional products in the future! 

Cute, cruelty free and USDA organic! I can only speak for the lips balms as they are tasty and a happy treat for my lips!

Crazy comfortable leggings!!

I can't begin to tell you how much I love the leggings From jojo's goods!

 They are super SUPER soft! 

This particular pair of leggings works really great with a hoodie top that I have! 

These leggings are thin but warm, so even though they are lined don’t appear bulky (winning!!) 

The fleece feels soft and crazy comfortable! 

I have washed these already ( i typically will wash my leggings on delicate so the lining stays really nice and soft and then i no heat dry them or ill air dry them) 

These are perfect for both winter or any other season! 

* I do want to mention these look grey not navy ( im not sure if it was a mistake or not but you can see in my photos they are grey) 

Only $10 !! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019W3GSVA

Clever creations Diffuser! ( aka my new love!)

#clevercreations #Diffuser

 I have been wanting one of these for soooo long!!

 Its small so i can put it just about anywhere! ( which i LOVE) 

I dont think this thing has been turned off since the first time i turned it on other than when i refill it.

 I find that it delivers a great smelling room if not 2 rooms depending on where i place it. 

 love this thing so much! 

It holds a decent amount of water and then i add a few drops of essential oils and put the lid back on and its ready to go! 

I love that the top can be rotated 360 degrees so i can control where the mist goes! 

The touch button on the left is super nice you can let the unit cycle through the different colors and if you press it again you get the solid colors keep pressing til you stop on the color you want to stay solid. ( i personally keep mine cycling or solid purple or blue) I def want another one or 2 for my new house!

Electric candles from Clever Creations!

I love candles and there has been on more than one occasion when i wanted to put a candle some place but couldn't because i was afraid of starting a fire! These solve that problem for sure! 

They are powered by 3 AAA batteries, and has 2 power modes ON and timer that will auto shut off to save battery but i couldn't tell you how long the timer is for i didn't pay attention to the time. 

These are going to be great in the new house! The glass surrounding is held in place with prongs at the top so it won't fall out! 

I love the glass on it makes it really look like a candle with the flickering of the light inside the electric candle! I love these! Very realistic!

CUTEST Storage EVER!

Clever Creations did it again! 

Wow if i wish i had these LONG ago! These make my life easier and def cuter when it comes to the kids toys and video game stuff! No more hats all over the couch and loveseat! No more infinity or skylander characters chilling on my tv stand! Probably the cutest idea in storage ever! I had to get all 3 because they are super cute and the kids have a TON of stuff that needs a place! I really don't mind these cute things in the living room! <3 

What i love the most is the lids CAN NOT get lost because they are attached!! ( winning!!) 

They are 12" x 12" x 12" but also they collapse and store very nice if you need to store them!

I love these clever creations! ♥ Candle Holders!

  I really love the cute design of these little lanterns from clever creations! They are Just really simple and cute! 
There is a little door with a latch where you set your candles inside about 2 & 1/2 inches wide.
I got some 2 & 1/2 inch pillars that are ... 3 maybe 3 and 1/2 inches tall i was able to fit just fine.
I wouldn't go much wider or i don't think you would be able to get them in the door!
Although the tops of these do not come off and they do not come with hangers they are beautiful anywhere!
The glass panes ARE removable so If you needed to take them out you could do so. 
I shouldn't really have to say this, but these are metal and heat rises so please be safe the tops get hot!
( i don't want anyone to hurt themselves )
I love that you don't have to use JUST one type of candle.  You can use tealights, votives medium pillars or if you wanted you could use the flameless candles! 
These would be awesome as a centerpiece as well as anywhere in the home! They are really pretty! ♥

They are available HERE ON AMAZON!

Moments of Power..MamaPower ( this was pretty emotional for me)

This is probably the best time for me to do this particular review! I think i NEED to do it now.. MOTHERS pay attention! ( and please read the whole post!)

Over a month ago I was looking at products and I stumbled across a video that really touched me. This woman was talking about being proud to be a mom! ( I stand with you there Anya! ) She also touched base on something that I never really thought much about until she put the words out there... and then I remembered back to when I have my lil ones..

As a woman being pregnant there is typically a lot of kind words, compliments, support and heck we even have special parking spots.. there is so much fuss ( the good positive kind of fuss) over a pregnant woman.

After our kids are born it lingers for a little while.. and then motherhood is in full force. Once that happens we aren't treated the same as we were before motherhood or as we were while being pregnant. Moms typically are assumed as unattractive and boring or not as much fun. ( Tell me you cant relate to that on some level... how many of us have become distance with certain friends that dont have kids.. you know this is true)

Its important for EVERY mother to feel special, important, powerful and YES even HOT! ( yes i know quite a few friends of mine whom have children are hot moms! )

Anya started mamapower to really celebrate moms, celebrate the great thing that moms do! Becoming a mother doesn't mean your life stops, it simply means that your life is beginning with a even greater purpose! Its not ever just ONE mom raising a child, its a collaboration of moms new or old. We are not just a person that became boring or old or anything negative! We are teaching, raising and caring for a child we have carried and loved even before the first time we held them.. and that is POWERFUL!

I want to quote something that was in the package with my absolute FAVORITE article of clothing now.. ( you will see it in a moment )

"Motherhood is often defined not by a daily feeling of triumph, but instead by small moments of power : moments of love, laughter, fun, learning, redemption wisdom in the making."

Now i will not go into details about the last 2 days. I will tell you that thursday morning I got a call that made my mega mom protector mode go off in the biggest way. I was scared, sad, worried and most of all I was ANGRY! I was rushing to get ready and I spotted this shirt. All I could think at that point was that's the shirt i need to wear.

No my shirt didn't have special powers, it didn't give me invisibility nor was it going to give me the answers or the solution that I needed to make it through what i was dealing with. BUT it did remind me that Im NOT weak, im not uninteresting or boring! I am was and will always be powerful and most of all I wasn't alone.

Im quite emotional during this review and I wanted to share this with you because I know that as a mother there are days when you just feel like you are under appreciated or overwhelmed. The last 48 hours have been pretty brutal! Thankfully Im never alone.. i really do have a great support system!

Anya has her website www.mamapowergear.com on the page there is a "moments of power" page where you can share your moments of power and be in touch and read other stories from moms. When your story is featured.. you will get a mana power gear card set to thank you for your wisdom and bravery.

Now I have not yet reached out to Anya to tell her any of this.. I will wait til tomorrow to let her know that when i wore MY shirt.. I felt stronger and braver.. and I was the mom I needed to be with the strength I honestly didn't think that I had in me.

Thank you Anya & Mama Power Gear-www.mamapowergear.com

I will also post more about MAMAPOWER tomorrow on my blog when I get a chance but i needed to share this TONIGHT!

( i did receive this shirt in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. MY story is mine and not influenced by anyone! )

Rustic Hanging Tea Light Candle Holders

It not a big shocker that I'm addicted to candles I've always loved them! Some more than others of course. Tea lights have never really been my favorite but I think it really depends on the item you're using them with! 

These are SUPER pretty! Lights on or off they are beautiful! They are rustic and classy! I couldn't be happier with this purchase these are actually in my opinion tea light holder with the lids but could also double as votive holders with out the tops and would be just as beautiful!

When you remove the lid there is a glass container that is removable ( so if you get wax inside its easy to clean up ) this glass part would possibly fit a votive, again you wouldn't do that with the lid on it! I love that you can display these with or without the stands and the stands are quite sturdy! I love how neutral the color is so it will pretty much go with any color theme you may be working with!

I could totally see these being used as a table centerpiece for a wedding or any party! I have not decided where the forever home for these will be but these are so cute they just may have multiple spots in my home! 

The top ( the lid itself) can get quite warm ( but hello there is a flame inside and it's metal you should expect it, so please keep away from small children)

These are photos i took of 2 of them ( the other 2 were being used in my living room and  I didn't want to move them but if you would like to see all 4 of the set I have included my video review in here as well! 

The Rustic Hanging Tea Light Candle Holders are available online and they would make the perfect gift ( and just under $20 ) 

Rustic Hanging Tea Light Candle Holder - 4 Pack

If these aren't your style feel free to stay tuned as I have another set of holders that I will be reviewing very soon!

Tapers from shop a candle!

I have to admit that I've never been a huge fan of taper candles, mostly because of the mess of the dripping and the fact that more than half the time when I did buy them they would arrive broken or would be broken or scratched while i was trying to unwrap them!

I was thrilled to get EVERY one of my tapers unbroken, unharmed and perfect! I didn't have to fight with the wrapping to remove it!

What's best about these tapers is that the entire taper is the same color its not over dipped coloring, i've yet to find another full color taper! ( most have a clear or white core and just the outside of the core is colored.

Now my fiance took a taper and put it in a wine bottle ( he was going to let it melt on the wine bottle and make it look cool. I realized these don't drip like the cheap tapers you can buy at the dollar store. These just give you a beautiful flame , no smoke and NO MESSES!

The wicks are LEAD FREE which means a much cleaner burn! Each taper will burn about 7.5 hours! That's more than enough time for a formal dinner or any event that you want to bring some beautiful lighting to!

There are so many beautiful colors! I got cobalt blue , holiday green, red, black and purple and i cant even tell you which is my favorite but I can tell you that no matter what color you choose you will enjoy these mess free beautiful tapers!

Body Candy ( BEST BODY JEWELRY)

I gotta tell you if I didn't already LOVE this company, I sure do now!

Having body piercings is really a pretty cool way to be different, express yourself in your own way. I can only speak for myself but getting a new piece of jewelry makes me happy. For me it also renews my piercing I feel just as happy as when I first got it done.

As much as it makes me happy to have new body jewelry I could always afford to go to the local shops to get new stuff as much I would have liked. Also it was getting frustrating to spend the money on pieces for my nose piercing to lose it when i would scratch my nose and accidentally flip it out. ( don't act like you have never done that  LOL )

I knew that I could find jewelry cheaper online and I tried to. I found some sites that had nice looking pieces. I ordered them only to be highly disappointed.  I stumbled upon Body Candy website and they had A LOT of great stuff not just body jewelry but a variety of things jewelry related and its was really affordable. So I wanted to try one last time to get more affordable jewelry without having to go to the shop.

JACKPOT!  Not only did I find that the items I paid for were good quality but I got more jewelry for the same price I would have paid for one at the shop. Now there was one piece that had a problem. Here is where things get even better.

I emailed body candy and I told them what was going on they apologized right away, and they made it right with me. No questions asked! That was a huge positive thing for me. Not only was the jewelry affordable for me and great quality. IF something was not great quality and wasn't how I expected.. they wanted to make sure I was happy! They did a great job of keeping me happy too!

To this very day I still have the original pieces I purchased and they are just as good as the day they arrived ( except the nose rings I flipped out or fell asleep with )  So I reached out.. I told them that I'm already a customer and I wanted to share my awesome discovery with people! You know.. Body Candy was just as excited as I was!

Without further delay let me show YOU what the mailman brought for me from BODYCANDY.COM

I also go a bunch of nose rings that were too hard to take photos of.. but ill take photos of those soon too! They are nothing short of amazing and cool ( batman,skull, leaf and all kinds of cool stuff!)

Seriously don't take my word for it! I PROMISE they have something for you, and if you are not happy.. let them know they will do everything that is possible to make sure that you are! Trust me on that! If you want to pay more money going to the shop and you can afford that. Do it.. But if you wanna save some  money and get a lot of great stuff... you need to shop Body Candy!  Check them out below!

I will tell you I was sent these items free or heavily discounted for my honest review and You should also know every word I am saying is true and unbiased, I was not paid by bodycandy.com or anyone else! I really do love them and the staff is GREAT! ( shout out to my new found BEST friend in the body jewelry business!  Thank you so much for giving me this chance to share my awesome experience with your company! )
