GWBG #Fashion Women Knit Pointed Fringe Hem Cascading Drape #Cardigan

You may have seen a lot of cardigans, this season, and that's because these popular items have become very fashionable lately.  It seems like these popped up many years ago, disappeared and now have made, yet, another appearance.  Today, cardigans have become available in a variety of styles, shapes and colors.

This cardigan, shown below, is the GWBG Fashion Women Knit Fringe Cascading Drape Cardigan, sold by FoxyLux on Amazon.  It has the fringed hemline, as a shawl may have, but also has the shape and style of a cardigan.  The color below is Camel.  This cardigan is also available in Grey.  The cardigan is made up of 80% acrylic and 20% wool.  It's sleeveless with a drape vest style and is fairly lightweight.  I love cardigans or vests that are lightweight, as I tend to work all day, live a busy lifestyle and like something that is not only comfortable, but something that will not weigh me down while working.

You may notice, that this camel color is not just a solid camel color.  It takes on the appearance of a gradient color, meaning, it starts lighter near the top and gradually, gets slightly darker near the bottom.  It's almost a subtle gradient.  It has a 50" wide drape with a 14" collar.  From the collar to the hem is 24".  This simple, yet fashionable and trendy cardigan can be layered over your favorite long sleeve shirt during the winter or worn over a short sleeve or 3/4 sleeve shirt during the summer.  This cardigan is so versatile, that it can be worn both during the summer through the winter months, just changing out what you wear underneath it.


Pair this Camel cardigan up with a black long sleeve shirt with jeans and matching boots and scarf and you have yourself the perfect Fall and Winter outfit.  Wear this Camel cardigan with a matching camel long suede skirt, finished off with some knee high boots and you have yourself a classy, chick look!  I really love this cardigan.  It's a neutral color that I can wear with just about anything and as a matter of fact, I plan on wearing this to work, today with a burgundy shirt and my burgundy leggings, black booties and a scarf that will have the burgundy color accent.

Don't forget to check out FoxyLux on Amazon.  They have some awesome clothing items that I'm sure you will love.

SEJORA Fleece Lined Leggings with High Waist Compression

Every women should have a pair of leggings.  Leggings are the "go-to" item when looking for something comfortable, stylish and fashionable...as long as they are paired with something that compliments the leggings.  Leggings are often paired with a long loose shirt, such as a tunic or Piko top, long vest - whether it's a summer or winter vest and finished off with some cute boots, booties or sandals.  

I love leggings.  I own several pairs of them.  These leggings, by Sejora, are a little different. They have fleece lining inside, to keep your legs warm during the winter months.  These are the first pair of leggings that I own, that have fleece lining inside of them and I will admit, they felt pretty darn nice!  They feel just like regular leggings, but more warmth and thickness to them.  They almost felt like I was wearing pajamas, but on a more snug level.  I love the high waist band, although I didn't quite pull the pants up as high as shown in the photo.  



These Sejora fleece lined leggings give off a slimming effect to the legs, which I love, cause lets admit it, I need a little slimming in that area!  These are one-size-fits all and when I first opened that package and saw how tiny they were at the waist, I gasped.  I thought, "How in the world am I gonna fit into those!"  But to my surprise, they fit perfect!  They have LOTS of stretch to them, but do not seem to stretch out of shape.  They were not tight at all, like I expected them to be and may be one of the most comfortable pairs of leggings I own.



The Sejora fleece lined leggings has a high waisted band that tucks in your waistline and hides any rolls.  The fleece lining does not add any extra bulk to these leggings and will keep you warm in any setting.  The leggings are made of 92% nylon and 8% spandex. The leggings have tapered legs, elongating and giving your legs a more slimming look.  The Sejora fleece lined leggings come in several colors: Burgundy (as shown), Black, Black Love, Black Sport, Blue, Khaki, Mocha, Olive, Pink and Red.  Plenty of colors to choose from!  The Black Sport and Black Love are black fleece lined leggings that have the words, Love and Sport, down the side of the legs in white.



I love these fleece lined leggings by Sejora!  I can't express how comfy they are and how they are the most comfortable pairs of leggings I own.  There is no tightness in the waist area or cutting into my skin.  Love them!



PURCHASE HERE!

Cyber Bone Rubber Dog Toy by GetTen - #petholidaygift

Ok, we know it's almost that time of year, Christmas!  By now, most of us have already done our Christmas shopping and have presents already wrapped.  But what about stocking stuffers?  Those are usually the last thing on my list and the last thing I normally grab.  But better yet, what about your pets?  If you're like me and most others, pets are part of your family...THEY ARE FAMILY.  So, being that they are family, we can't leave our beloved fur babies out of the holiday giving.



This dog toy shown, is the Cyber Bone Rubber Dog Toy by GetTen.  They come in the vibrant colors of Pink, Blue and Yellow.  They are very very well made.  Firm and sturdy,, yet with a little flexibility to them.  They are the perfect size for a pet to carry around and chew on.  They have a strong and safe natural rubber that is washable and fade resistant. That is one of the reasons I love this dog toy...fade resistant.  A lot of rubber dog toys that I have bought in the past, have faded over the months and normally....only last a few months before the rubber starts tearing apart.  I can't wait to see how these hold up in the next few months!  They do seem a lot better made.  



The GetTen Cyber Bone Rubber Dog Toy is infused with vanilla....I'm sure the dogs would love that...I know my three dogs can't leave them alone!  They also promote oral hygiene...another good factor and stimulates your pets gums.  These are just the right size for dogs of medium to large breeds.  I have three dogs...a Pug (Bugsey), a dorkie (Benji) and a mix between a dorkie and terrier (Mojo).  All three love their toys and Benji, being the dominant and sometimes bossy one, tends to take over all three!  This doggy needs to learn some manners!

These vibrant vanilla infused Cyber Bone Rubber Dog Toys can be purchased HERE!

Paw Print Dog Bed by Woodsam

Most of us consider our dogs (or cats) our family.  They are not just animals, but actual companions that keep us company, love us unconditionally and are always there when we need them.  They are the most lovable creatures you will ever meet and that is why we spoil them!


Christmas time is nearing soon and we can't forget our beloved fur babies.  They want to get into all the action around the holidays and what better way to show our appreciation and love but to surprise them with their own doggy bed.  The dog bed, shown below, is by Woodsam.  This is a Paw Print dog bed, that has a black and white plaid design.  It's soft, plush and comfy for your pet.  The size of this bed shown, is more for a small to medium size dog.  My dorkies can curl up in it, as well as my Pug (bless her heart, she loves this bed and barely fits in it!)


The bed is easy to clean due to the cotton material of the bed. Just throw it in the washer on a gentle cycle.  I love how plush this bed is.  It makes for a comfy bed, for either cat or dog and also adds a personal touch with the paw print and plaid design.  


Can't you see how much she loves this bed!!  She has another bed, larger than this, but every time I turn around, she has taken up with this new Paw Print Bed by Woodsam.  I think my other pups will just have to wait their turn!

Check out Woodsam on Amazon.  They have lots of designs and colors to choose from. Christmas in nearing soon, so don't forget your beloved pets!

Rimen & Co Leopard Animal Print Tote Bag

Christmas is just right around the corner and now is the time to start thinking about gift ideas for everyone on your list (I'm sure a lot of you guys have already begun!)  When thinking about holiday gifts, think about not only what each person's taste is, but what they have been kind of hinting around about...things that they may actually need and want, all at the same time!

Below is the Rimen & Co. Leopard Animal Print Tote Bag, sold by Diophy Handbags on Amazon.  This tote bag will make the perfect Christmas gift for that special gal. It's different, classy and very fashionable!  I'm a big fan of Animal print and to incorporate this into a purse, is a big hit with me!  The purse is shiny and very well detailed with the Leopard print. It has a zipper on the back of the purse, two zippers on the front of the purse (as decor only) as well as two compartment pockets and a large pocket with zipper.  The top of the purse also has a zipper, to close the purse up.






Color: Brown

This Rimen & Co Leopard Animal Print Tote Bag comes in three different colors:  Brown, Black and Red.  It  also comes with a shoulder strap, that allows you to carry either on your shoulder or use the handles to carry it in your arms.  I love a purse that has both shoulder and handle straps! It's a PU Leather accented metal stud hobo type tote bag.  The Approximate size of this purse is Length 14" x Width 5" x Height 11".  The interior of the purse is lined with a very pretty and simple striped, high quality lining.  I like the light colored lining, as it allows me to see small items that may have fallen at the bottom of the purse.  



If you are ready to get that unique and different tote bag for your friend, mother, daughter or someone special, don't forget to checkout Diophy Handbags other purses.  They not only have this particular purse, but many many other ones to choose from.

Fit Simple- 7 Piece Portion Control Containers

With the holidays upon on us and the new year soon rolling around, many of us will be making our New Year's resolutions.  One of those resolutions will be to lose weight.  That may be one of the hardest things to do, especially after feasting on Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.

Fit Simple has made it easier for us to control our portion sizes.  When it comes to losing weight, portion size is one of the main things we need to remember when trying to lose weight.  It's not that you have to eliminate the foods you love...you just need to know how to portion them out, without over doing it.  

These Fit Simple 7 Piece Portion Control Containers take the guess work out of how much you should be eating.  Many of us may THINK we know how big a portion size is, but do we really?  I was shocked to see just how big (or small) a portion size is when I received the Fit Simple Portion Control Containers.  My first instinct was..."I'M GONNA STARVE..I'M LITERALLY GOING TO STARVE!" 


I actually don't think that will be the case, but it does help to know just how much we should, or should not, be eating.  These Fit Simple 7 Piece Portion Control Containers come with a small helpful guide, that tells you what each color represents.  It also comes with a link to a download of 7 Free Recipes.  The Fit Simple 7 Piece Portion Control Containers makes measuring food easy.  These containers are made with high quality materials that are both dishwasher and microwave safe.  They are 100% leak proof due to the easy snaps on each container.  Just place the lid on the container, press down until the tabs 'pop' and are slightly raised.  To open:  just press down on the tabs to release the lid.


AND...since these handy little containers are leak proof, there is no reason why you can't travel with these.  Making sure you have your portion control meals on hand, makes it easier for you to resist eating too much and will help you on your journey to losing weight.  I love that these containers are color coded.  It makes it simple to know what foods go in each one.

GREEN:    Vegetables
PURPLE:   Fruit
YELLOW:  Carbs
ORANGE:  Nuts, Seeds and Oils
RED:           Protein
BLUE:        Healthy Fats


As you can see, your two largest containers are Fruits and Vegetables.  This is what you should be eating more of and what most of your plate should consist of.  Your smallest container is the Orange - Nuts, seeds and Oils.

TSSS®Exquisite Black Leather Watch Organizer Box Cabinet -12 Compartments-Soft Cushions and Glass Window

As many of you may know, I'm a big watch fanatic! I have so many watches...a variety of shapes, lengths and styles.  I've never had one specific place I kept them at.  They are either divided between my jewelry box that was either too small to hold them or lying on top of my dresser, in my bedroom.  I hated that they were either here or there, no place to display them!  I like everything neat and organized.  That was not the case with my watches and it drove my crazy!


Well...that is all about to change!  Thanks to Zheermai Online Shopping at Amazon, I now have a place to keep...umm...most of my watches.  I have approximately 16 -17 watches, and Zheermai Online Shopping has sent me the TSSS Exquisite Black Leather Watch Organizer Box Cabinet that holds 12 watches.  I could not be any happier than I am now!  The organizer has a see through window on the top lid of the box.  It has 12 soft cushion compartments that allow you to wrap your watch around the cushions.  The 12 compartment watch box can also be used as a jewelry box as well.  You can wrap your bracelets around the cushions or remove the cushions and use each compartment for your earrings, bracelets, etc.


For me, personally, this will definitely be used as a watch box.  It is very so much needed!  AND...if you have some precious and valuable watches or jewelry you want to keep locked up...this box also comes with a key.  The TSSS Exquisite Black Leather Watch Organizer is PU Leather, has a vintage design look to it and a very sturdy, nice box.  I love that this Watch Organizer is presented as a display box and that I can see my watches through the see through glass window.  Dimensions of this box is 13"(D) x 7.5"(W) x 3.5"(H).


The TSSS Exquisite Black Leather Watch Organizer Box is a very clean, neat looking box, but with a sophisticated look.

Lilax Little Girls' Shimmer Butterfly Occasion Dress

Christmas time is nearing!  Just about everyone I know, has begun their Christmas shopping.  Toys for kids, clothing, accessories and jewelry for women and that perfect gift for the men in their lives.  Christmas time is the time where family and friends get together....those who haven't seen each other in a while or just not as often as they wish.  It's a special time.  And what better way to make memories, but to capture the perfect holiday picture of our loved ones...especially the little children, all decked out in their holiday attire.


Lilax has been one of the companies that I have worked with, that produces and offers some of the most adorable little girl's clothes.  Clothes that would have any little girl looking like a Diva...and that she should! Lilax has little girl's clothing from 2T to 5.  They have a range of coats, jackets, dresses and much much more!



The dress shown, is the Lilax Little Girl's Shimmer Butterfly Occasion Dress.  It is an amazingly beautiful dress and the photo, by no means, does this dress justice.  This is the absolute perfect dress for taking Christmas photos in.  It has a back zipper, a deep fuchsia color material with black tulle like material on the inside of the dress.  The dress has openings on each side, revealing the black tulle.  It is, indeed, a unique looking little girl's dress, as most little girl's dresses, I have not seen the opening at the sides.  The dress also has a tan/gold fabric bow tie belt that finishes off this beautiful fuchsia dress.  As you can see, the dress also has golden butterflies, swirling around in the pattern of the dress.


The dress is made in Turkey and imported.  It comes in sizes 2T-5.  With a round neck and short sleeves, this dress consists of 100% cotton (lining) and 100% polyester (outer dress.) The inside lining tends to give this dress a little extra fluff, but not too much.  Any little girl would look amazing in this fuchsia dress...the perfect color for the season!
