The Cream Perfume Company Giveaway with Review (ENDED)

First Winner is Anne T
Second Winner is Shari D
If you love to pamper your skin with luxurious and deliciously scented lotions, The Cream Perfume Company might just become your new best friend!

Take a look at these delicately scented body lotions they so generously sent me to try. 

Each of these moisturizers left my skin feeling silky smooth and super hydrated with the added bonus of smelling fabulous!  And who doesn't love the tropical scent of fresh coconut!! Their Coconut  flavor was definitely my favorite but yours just might be their fresh Lavender or sweet Roses!  And because these body lotions are 100% vegan, wheat and gluten free, contain no glycol, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, silicones, or synthetic additives or synthetic fragrances, I knew my sensitive skin would love them!

Once you feel how silky smooth these lotions leave your skin, you will want to try their solid fragrances.  And staying with their commitment of providing skin-loving products, these gorgeous wood perfume pots contain pure plant and fruit extracts.  They are phthalate free and contain no sulfates, petro-chemicals, synthetic dyes, triclosan or formaldehyde donors.

I received a pot of deliciously fragranced Mimosa Bouquet but the one I went absolutely wild for was the Ylang Ylang d'amore!  Inside these wooden pots is a wonderful solid perfume and a little goes a long way.  Great staying power and not overly strong.  Perfectly balanced!

The Cream Perfume Company search for the world's best ingredients and it shows! Their lotions luxuriously hydrate leaving behind a fabulous scent and silky smooth skin.  And they do it all while focusing on environmentally friendly packaging but best of all, their products are cruelty free!

They are The Cream Perfume Company and they make fabulous scents, naturally!!

Sparkling DiamondEarrings.Org Review!

If there is one piece that every fine jewelry wardrobe should include, it's a pair of dazzling diamond stud earrings.  Perfect for day or night, jeans, a formal wedding gown and everything in between.

A pair of glamorous faux diamond earrings of course!  And how about a pair that are set in highly polished genuine sterling silver mimicking the best white gold!

DiamondEarrings.Org have made it so easy for us!  All we have to do is help them spread the word on either twitter, facebook, myspace, our blogs or anywhere else on the web where we have an audience!  For a small fee to cover shipping costs, you too can have these sparkling beauties mailed anywhere within the USA for only $3.77 no strings or hidden fees!!  Yes, I'm serious!! Only $3.77!!

Look how gorgeous they are!  They are a very believable l carat size each!  And cut in the most modern shape on the market.  A beautiful square or princess cut!  And the settings are stamped 925 which is the symbol for genuine sterling silver!  And all for only a few minutes of your time to spread the word and $3.77!!!!

You want a pair?  Of course you do!!  Here are the steps taken right off their website!

Let's spread the word now and then when we are ready for those genuine diamond earrings, DiamondEarrings.Org is where to shop!

Lisa Leonard Jewelry Designs Giveaway $50 Gift Card (ENDED)

Of all the jewelry I own, the most precious pieces I have are those that have been carefully hand stamped with the names or initials of the people I love.  Being able to custom order fine jewelry has opened up an entirely new way to collect pieces that symbolize those things that have the most meaning for each of us.

I recently discovered Lisa Leonard Designs where handmade jewelry has meaning, is unique and perfect to wear everyday.  Each of their custom sterling silver pieces is hand-cut, hammered, antiqued and polished to perfection!  And being able to customize your jewelry gives you the freedom to create your perfect mommy necklace with a meaningful phrase, name or date to wear close to your heart.

But Lisa Leonard Designs are not just for mommy.  You will find an entire page of Inspired Designs, Bracelets, almost two full pages of More Goodies like baby spoons, earrings, keychains and there is also a section for Men's Jewelry.

Just look at a few of her fabulous and original designs

vintage frames necklace

itty bitty hearts necklace

open circle bracelet

rectangle keychain for dad!

Blogging or Cyber Bullying?

With the emphasis on our kids regarding the problems with cyber bullying on facebook and other social networks,  I can't help but wonder if this disturbing trend has found its way into the circle of adults who blog.

A few weeks ago, I posted about a privacy issue I've had over the last several months since discovering that a person who is not a friend to me or my husband has found my blog.  Sadly, she has attempted on more than one occasion to use its content to create trouble between me and my stepchildren.  I'm happy to say she has NOT been successful.

Now I've found out that someone who lives in her town and knows who she is was doing an innocent cyber search regarding menopause and happened to find my blog.  After looking around at a few of my older posts, she recognized our dysfunctional family.  She contacted a mutual friend of ours who confirmed that Menopausal New Mom is written by me.

So here is the question I have for all of you.

When I write my stories and make the odd backhanded remark about this person who has been stalking reading my blog, is that Cyber Bullying?

I have to admit the bitch in me enjoys getting in a dig at someone who tries to create trouble within my family based on information in my blog that really shouldn't interest her.

The other side of me knows the remarks are likely hurtful and not necessary and don't add any value to the content of my posts.

So out of respect for my stepchildren who should not have to listen to the bitching and complaining about my blog and its content, I will no longer be referring to this stalker person in future posts.

I-AM-DONE-WITH-HER

What do you think?  When does blogging cross the line and become cyber bullying?

The Charm Factory Review with Sweet Giveaway (CLOSED)

Winner is Dovile P

When the Charm Factory told me to choose one of their adorable sterling silver charm bracelets to review, I was so excited.  I couldn't wait for the opportunity to pass on the tradition of collecting charms to my daughter.  I had a charm bracelet growing up and I remember how exciting it was to receive a charm for each special occasion or event in shining sterling silver!

I finally decided on the stars, they remind me so much of my daughter's personality.

And I love how these bracelets are sold with five charms already attached.  You can wear them as is or personalize your favorite bracelet by adding charms.  I love that option!  And The Charm Factory has a huge selection of additional charms to choose from, one that is certain to represent each and every special event you want to capture in Silver!  They have a fabulous selection of bracelets to choose from.

These Peace signs are so mod!

And these Hearts say "I Love You"

And they have designed this lovely Awareness bracelet

And if you love color, this glamorous style comes in other shades too!

Definitely a charm bracelet to suit every taste!

And look at these adorable charms.  They have over 4,000 to choose from!!

For her love of music!

Initials!!

And of course "Mommy's Girl"!!

In record time, my daughter's bracelet arrived safely tucked inside a white cardboard jewelry box.  When I opened the lid, there it was securely fastened to a card with The Charm Factory name, website address and clearly identified as a piece of genuine Sterling Silver.  The presentation was lovely making it ideal for gift giving.  All you need to do is add a bow!

And The Charm Factory manufacture their products in the USA!  This is high-quality jewelry that is made to last! No Nickel and No Lead.

The Charm Factory isn't just about charms and bracelets though.  They stock custom jewelry tags, lead-free pewter, lockets , beads, and pendants and pins which is still just the tip of the iceberg!

You can purchase any of their fabulous jewelry by visiting www.charmfactory.com
