Gift Guide: Jillie Willie Review & GIVEAWAY

Jillie Willie is the place to go for adorable, chic gifts!  It is one of my favorite places to get gifts for my girl friends and family!  They are constantly switching up all of their amazing collections, keeping their items new, fresh, and fun!
I was so happy when I got a chance to review the Jillie Willie Aquq Paparazzi Bag.  This tote bag is not only super roomy, but is also super stylish and fun!  The layers of cascading ruffles and big bows make it perfect for fashionistas on the go!  You can take it practically anywhere and carry anything you want inside!   Besides the cute ruffles and gorgeous color, my favorite feature is the strap.  You can tie it to whatever length you want and it is super cute tied as a bow.  I think I know why it is called the Paparazzi bag, because it definitely catches the eyes of others!
Jillie Willie has perfected the ruffle!  Their gorgeous aprons, bags, and leggings (aka Mollies) are fashionably adorned with them!
I just love all the various styles, rich, vibrant colors, and designs of Jillie Willie products!  Make sure you check out their Deal of the Week items!  You can get some fanastic items at great sale prices!

Gift Guide: Moonlight Feathers Review & GIVEAWAY (closed)

One of the hottest trends right now is feathers!  Moonlight Feather has a HUGE selection of gorgeous feathers perfect for for all your feather needs!
They have an assortment of hair extensions in various sizes, earrings, and more!  My daughter and I got to try out 2 of Moonlight Feather's products--The Eleanor Earring & Harajuku Extension Clip.  Both are really unique and beautiful.  I had actually never seen the feather earrings before--well I probably had but didn't realize they were earrings.  It is a great alternative to the clip in extensions, etc.  I felt a little strange wearing one earring at first since I am so used to wearing earrings in both ears, but I got used to it quickly and REALLY loved the feathers in this piece.  The rich browns and golds went perfect with my hair color! 
Now I knew my daughter would love the Harajuku Clip because it is super fun, girly, and spunky--just like her!  It has thin, brightly colored feathers in it that added the perfect "pop" to her hair!
Moonlight Feather has so many wonderful items for girls which make the perfect holiday gifts!  From babies to teens and beyond, their items are pretty, fun, and fashionable! 
(Be sure to check out the "Handmade Section")
What is also great about this site is that they have pretty much anything you would need to make your own fahionable feather pieces--all of the parts, pieces, and feathers galore!

Brooklyn5and10 Review & GIVEAWAY (closed)

Brooklyn5and10 has such a great selection of fresh, unique, and trend-setting items!
Something that I have always wanted in my home was an herb garden.  No more heading out to the grocer to pick up so-called "fresh" herbs or having to buy a huge pack of something that you just need a little of!  That's why I was so thrilled when Brooklyn5and10 sent me their adorable Half Pint Garden as well as some of their Matchstick Garden packs!
The Half Pint Garden is a fun herb growing kit that comes in a little milk carton package.  Inside there is a ceramic container, 3 different packets of herb seeds, and peat pellets.  All you have to do is add water, carefully sow the little seeds, and place in a warm and sunny window sill.  Before you know if you have basil, thyme, or mint right in the comfort of your home.  Not only did I love the cute packaging which I thought would make for such a cute gift, but the white ceramic container is so fresh and clean and would look great in any kitchen!  I couldn't believe how easy and simple the herb garden was to do and instantly regretted not getting one before now!
The other amazing product I got from them, the Matchstick Garden Packs, was also a blast to have as well!  Super ingenious, this each little matchbook contains matchsticks lined with tiny seeds.  All you need to do is tear one of the matchsticks off (they don't really ignite) and plant it face down in some soil (the tip with the seeds goes down in the dirt).  Give it water, sun, and a little love...and tada--fresh herbs!  You can buy different herb matchbook sets.  I got the basil, chives, parsley, and thyme one!   Just like the Half Pint Garden, the Matchstick Garden Packs were very easy to use and has such an incredibly rewarding outcome!
I am hooked on all the new fresh herbs I have and have been making several yummy recipes to use them in.  Another plus that you might not think of is the incredible smell!  I am really loving the mint right now which is perfect for the holiday season!
BUY IT:
Head over to the Brooklyn5and10 website to check out all of their unique gifts and purchase some of your own
WIN IT:

Purse Light...Review & Giveaway!

Have I ever mentioned that I am *sort of* a scatter brain when it comes to losing things?  My keys and wallet are missing almost daily and it is a source of huge frustration!  I get so annoyed with myself!  The most annoying part of it?  Most often my keys/wallet/lipstick/money are floating somewhere in the depths of my purse.  I was recently sent a gadget which gave me some hope for better navigating the abyss that is my purse...the Purse Brite from TV Top Ten.  Here is the scoop...

With the Purse Brite you will finally keep everything with you organized and findable. The Purse Brite is a lighted purse organizer that has 10 expandable pockets that you can use for your keys, glasses, checkbook, makeup, cell phone and much more. Plus, there is a hidden pocket that you can use for more important things such as credit cards, pills or other personal items.

Keep everything in your sight and at your fingertips with the Purse Brite. Best of all the Purse Brite will fit inside any handbag leaving room in the center for larger items, such as your wallet. Purse Brite also features an ultra-bright light built in so that you can find things quickly  in the dark!


I was a little apprehensive about this...it seemed like it could be one of those things meant to make life easier but actually complicating things but this is not the case!  Purse Brite really works!  I love all the little pockets are perfect for stashing all your purse must haves.  I use mine for everything from keys (oh THERE you are!), lipstick, cash, business cards and sunglasses and I still have room to spare.  It fits nicely right in my large hobo type purse.  The light is fantastic to have as well.  It is great for night when you are trying to put your fingers on somethings.  It is very bright and illuminates your entire purse.  Something I really, really love?  You can pop it in and out of purses in a second.  I put all my necesities inside and simply pop it from purse to diaper bag and back again with no fuss.  Love it!  Here is what each Purse Brite contains....


The Purse Bright Includes:
  • 1 Purse Brite
  • 1 Purse Brite Light
  • FREE 5x Magnification Lighted Mirror!
  • Free Luma Tweeze!
The tweezers and lighted mirror are great as well and I keep them right in my Purse Brite!  All of the above can be purchased for only $12.95....a steal!  You can order yours today from TV Top Ten.
