Lipo-in-a-Box Awesome Giveaway with Review (ENDED)

WINNER IS JES S.

When a company boldly names their line of Shapewear "Lipo in a Box", they had better be able to deliver!  So when I was offered the opportunity to find out what all the excitement was about, I was delighted!

Here's the little number they so generously sent me to review, their High Waist Capri in black.  I couldn't believe that with my measurements, I would fit into a size small!!  That alone will keep me coming back to this product line! 


But it's not just their sizing chart that impressed me.  Once I pulled this High Waist Capri up over my abdomen, I couldn't believe the tummy control it offered.  My stomach had not looked this flat since before my pregnancy five years ago! And my butt was nicely raised and right back where it used to be.  Once I got moving, I found it surprisingly comfortable and nothing was jiggling.  One of my biggest pet peeves on any woman is panty lines and this shaper performed perfectly with NO panty lines!

I love this shaper and you can bet I will be taking very good care of it.  It will be lovingly hand washed and hung to dry so I can achieve these fabulous results in an instant whenever I want them.  This shaper will be perfect to wear with my jeans, long skirts and my everyday yoga pants.

Lipo-in-a-Box carries a wide assortment of shapers all constructed using their special blend of spandex and nylon resulting in comfort as well as control with the added bonus of feeling confident in how you look.  You can choose from a wide range of bodysuits, briefs, tanks, camisoles, liners, tanks, camis and capris.

Sima Gilady Stamped Jewelry $45 Giveaway with Review (ENDED)


WINNER IS PAM D

As much as I love jewelry, I know nothing is more precious and sentimental than a piece that has been carefully stamped with the name of someone you love. So I was delighted when Sima of Sima Gilady Jewelry offered to send me one of her elegant hand-stamped creations for review. We picked the style and accent pearl and the letters that would be carefully stamped on its surface.


Well, it arrived the other day and I'm so happy with the quality and workmanship. This classic design makes it perfect for everyday wear.  And the presentation was lovely.  The pendant and it's sterling silver bead chain were carefully tucked inside a lavender drawstring pouch and then placed inside a cardboard jewelry storage box.  And for that final touch, it was wrapped with a raffia bow making it perfect for gift giving.


Here is just a sample of Sima's Beautiful Creations

Awesome Invisibelt Giveaway with Review (ENDED)

Invisibump Winner is Dana B
Invisibump Winner is Ashley S

I don't know anyone who can buy a brand new pair of jeans that don't require some type of alteration.  My biggest challenge has been to find a pair that fit my hips without being too big around my waist. Doesn't matter if they cost $40, $75 or over $100, they will need to go to the tailor for some type of expense alteration if I want them to fit right.

So when the nice people at Invisibelt offered to send me one of their smooth, undetectable belts to review, I couldn't wait to try it out!


What a clever product! I was so impressed when it arrived.  It really is the perfect belt to instantly create a perfect fit around my waist when I'm wearing jeans! I tried it on and it laid perfectly flat against my tummy just as promised.  I found it lightweight and very comfortable to wear.  Now I can wear my fitted shirts over my waistband and no one will even know I have a belt on!

This new fashion must have can help you create a slim silhouette instantly!  It easily adjusts like a bra so you are guaranteed a perfect fit and it's available in plus sizes too!  Is it any wonder it's been nicknamed "The No Buckle Belt"?!

This little diagram off their website perfectly demonstrates how this belt works to get rid of that unsightly bulge left by traditional belts.
It's available in 5 different colors so you can easily find the right shade to work with any piece in your wardrobe.  And if you like a little glam, check out their Glamour Collection.  You can choose between a gold or silver lacy design!


And they haven't forgotten our little ones. They have introduced Invisibelt Girl with the cutest designs for our little girls to wear! 


But the newest addition to their line is Invisibump by Invisibelt for Liz Lange for the moms-to-be who are looking for a product not only during pregnancy, but right after.  The Invisibump is perfect when you are making the transition from regular to maternity clothing and then after pregnancy when you are on your way back to your normal size.
Right off their website, here is how it works with your changing body.

Underology Smart Skin Care Review

I'm a huge fan of skin care products and for avoiding any type of cosmetic surgery. In order to keep dodging that surgeon, I'm always on the look out for fabulous skin care products that deliver exactly what they say they will.  Results! I don't want expensive packaging or the additional cost to pay a 15-year-old model to pitch it to me.
So when I was given the opportunity to review a product from Underology's Anti-Aging and Rejuvenating Line, I said "Bring it on!"
And it wasn't long before I received a jar of Marine HYDROcreme PM

This is such a smart product!  It not only moisturizes beautifully but contains 10% - 12% Glycolic Acid so you get the dual action of a fabulous moisturizer with the additional benefit of exfoliation!  Perfect for us busy moms!

I found the cream lightweight and luxurious and it left my skin feeling well hydrated and moist.  With the cold weather on the way, this is the perfect product to help my skin cope with the huge swings in temperature from inside to outside during the cold winter months.

I was especially impressed with the Underology commitment to incorporate high levels of active ingredients in their products and to avoid the fillers and preservatives so we get great results much quicker.

And it's so easy to find the product that targets your particular skin type or issue.  Underology make it easy with this chart from their brochure:

You want to prevent or reduce wrinkle depth:

You want your make up to glide on smoothly:

You have dehydrated skin

You are young and oily

You don't want puffiness, dark circles and fine lines around your eyes

You want improved and revitalized skin texture

You want a cleanser to remove eye make up too

You are a smoker or your skin is tired looking

You want SPF, tint and moisture all in one

 to learn more and check out their entire line of skin care products


And Enjoy a 15% Discount
 on your 
PURCHASE until November 20th, 2010!!
Just use the Discount Code "Lipoblog" at the checkout!

And like they say
 is a Smart alternative to cosmetic surgery or the perfect compliment!"

Decorating 101

Seems there is no end to the planning and decorating we have done since the major renovation at our home four years ago.  Room by room, we've finally finished the first floor.  I now have a kitchen, dining room, family room and music room that I love.  Hubby decorated the first floor bathroom and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the great job he did.

It's time to move on to the second floor where our daughter's room is.  Now that she's four and going to pre-school, I've been thinking about buying her a desk where she can do her crafts and art projects to keep them off our kitchen table.  But I find the work surface on a standard desk isn't big enough to accommodate some of her projects.  Then it hit me.  Why not take a look at some drop leaf tables.  Plenty of room when it's needed and a space saver when it's not being used.  Throw a blanket over it and she has a cute fort to play in and a great place to hide.  Check out these little beauties I found at www.diningroomsdirect.com

Something Like This

or This

And how cool is this one for bedside!
Throw in some new bedding, new drapes and a couple of cozy chairs and I think we might just have another room finished!
