Holiday Gift Guide - Joseph Allen Designs Review and Giveaway.

Closed.

You will probably remember the review and giveaway I had of one of the Joseph Allen Designs hand stamped silver jewelry….. I fell in love with one of the designs offered in the Joseph Allen Designs. Joseph has an adorable selection of hand stamped jewelry. The designs are really different, very unique and certainly one of a kind.
The minute I saw Joseph’s store I loved a piece that is shown right on the front page of the site and liked the design so much, that when I was given the chance to pick any piece from the store catalog, I still chose the Little Bird pendant.
The pendant features a small flying bird and it is set up on a circular base. The attention to detail in the design is outstanding! You can personalize your design with up to 10 words that would go right in front of the bird’s chest.
When I saw the original design, it had the word peace stamped and as I said, I like it so much, that I wouldn’t change a thing.
Months after I received the necklace it is still one of my favorite pieces in my jewelry box. When I had the chance to work with Joseph again and review another piece for the Holiday Gift Guide, I can’t deny that I was really excited……I love his work!
This time around I tried the One, Two, Three Disks necklace from his satin collection. Each disc is carved and cast in Argentium Sterling Silver and are about 5/8” with a satin finish of course. As I have expected the necklace is a high quality piece, very simple yet beautifully made.

You can personalized the discs with up to 8 characters that can be stamped on each disc and you can also add a birth stone to each one of your discs. In my case I picked little pearls for each disc and I love it! All pieces come with a jewelry pouch for each item as well as a polishing cloth.

Holiday Gift Guide - Montrail Boots Review and Giveaway.

Closed.

Montrail delivers premier trail running and hiking footwear for outdoor athletes around the world that expect excellence from themselves and their products. For everyday comfort, Montrail created a uniquely contoured, thermomoldable sandal and insole. Montrail is synonymous with the best fitting, cutting-edge outdoor footwear. That is exactly the reason why I wanted to contact the company and see if they would let me try some of their products.
They agreed to send me some of the products from their catalog for me to try and I have to say that choosing a product was not easy! The whole catalog is really appealing and everything looks great…..I ended up choosing the Feather Peak™ GTX.
The Feather peak are available for men and women and the boots are designed for challenging terrain and trekking. The first thing I noticed was the quality on the boots! The Feather Peak offers you a great support from the button allowing you the capability to carry heavy loads over long distances. The boots need to be broken in a little to get the optimal comfort level you will need during your outdoors adventures. The ankle support is second to none from any boots I’ve used or seen. When you are wearing these boots, you have no fear of turning an ankle as you traverse over rocky or uneven terrain.
These boots are great and if you plan to do any hiking, these are certainly the kind of footwear you should be looking for. They are one of the most comfortable pair of hiking boots you will be able to find and they are very roomy around the toes, which is not so easy to find sometimes! One more thing is that as I mentioned before, the boots are of great quality, so they will last you a really long time! I would expect to get well over 10 years of solid use from these boots.
I love the boots and if you are an outdoor lover or have a special someone that is, these boots would make an awesome holiday present.
Features & Benefits
• Vibram® rubber compound with aggressive lug pattern for traction on a variety of surfaces.
• Full length polyurethane midsole with TPU footbed and shank for superior support.
• Nubuk with high-abrasion leather overlays and scratch leather toe cap for toe protection.

Buy it:
You can buy this and all Montrail products at: www.montrail.com and selected retailers across the US and Canada.

They pearls have a color-treated body color with various dark hues and subtle overtones that makes this necklace a very stylish and elegant piece of jewelry.

Holiday Gift Guide - ComfyMe Review.

I am always looking for new products and stores that offer parents a great selection of quality products and I am very happy to introduce you to one of my most recent finds: ComfyMe. ComfyMe offers a wide selection of baby gear such as bedding, diaper bags, gifts, keepsakes, room decor, strollers, wall art, and more. You can also find those much desired products for newborns, babies and toddlers.
I really liked the variety of products they offer in their website which are from well known brands. I was able to try a really cute storage caddy from Tend Labs in an adorable pink and brown polka dots and stripes, perfect for keeping the diapers and wipes organized and later on you can use it to keep your little one’s necessities. It is made with soft quality fabric and excellent craftsmanship. This would make a great addition to any kid’s room or nursery.
The caddy features a T removable center separator and eight pockets on the outside, the caddy is about 13" x 9" x 6 1/4" and has two handles that makes taking the caddy from one room to another a lot easier. Among the recommended uses they suggest for this caddy is to use it as a craft organizer and actually, the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea…..You know me and my crafts, and I have to say that is actually my favorite craft basket right now!
This same caddy is offered in 10 different designs. The one they sent me is the Maya design, which as I mentioned before is a pink/brown combination, but they also offer some really cute boy designs. The caddy retail for 23.99 at the ComfyMe online store.

Holiday Gift Guide - Puddles Collection Review and Giveaway.

Closed.

With Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner, I have already started to look for some outfits for the ladybug and found a wonderful children’s boutique called Puddles Collection. They offer some really cute boys and girls outfits that would be great for the upcoming Holiday season.
I was very impressed with the girls catalog, but equally impressed with the boys catalog. I don’t usually shop for boys, but I know that finding cute clothing for the little guys can be a bit challenging sometimes. The outfits you will find at the Puddles Collection store are really, cute and elegant….The best part is the quality/price of their products.
I was able to try the Claudia dress in navy blue. This is an adorable v-neck polka dot and striped sundress with a bow on the waist. This poly-cotton blend is made in the USA. The dress is really cute and it kind of reminds me of those dresses that were so in fashion back in the sixties. What I like the best about the dress is how versatile it is. She can use it during the summer days and then all I need to do is to add a short twill jacket and she can wear the dress when temperatures drop. The Claudia dress is also available in red and retails for 45.00 and you can find it in sizes ranging from 2-12.
So the next time you are looking for a special occasion outfit for the kids, take a look at the catalog offered by Puddle Collection for a great and non expensive selection of outfits.
Buy it:
You can buy this and all Puddles Collection products at: www.puddlescollection.com
Win it:
The Puddles Collection has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress readers, the chance to win a 30.00 gift certificate, just in time for the Holiday’s shopping.

Just Eyewear- Review.

As I have mentioned before I have been wearing glasses ever since I was six and can’t spend a single day without wearing my  prescription glasses…..Lucky me, my daughter has a little thing about glasses and she had gotten a hold of my glasses a few weeks ago, I heard her say…..”Mommy, I broke your glasses!” I looked at her and she had broken my glasses in half!
I knew right then I would need to get another pair right away….I couldn’t believe my luck when I received an email asking me if I wanted to do an eye glasses review for a company called Just Eyewear . Of course, I immediately said yes!
Just Eyewear is a direct seller of prescription glasses online which allows them to offer a great selection of really inexpensive yet really fashionable prescription glasses. I was Offered a 50.00 gift certificate to get myself a new pair of glasses.
I know for a fact that prescription glasses can be really pricey, so I was really happy to see the great prices I was able to find at the Just Eyewear’s store….After looking around for close to an hour (glasses are a really important buy, as they are part of your face) I decided to go with something totally different to what I had before.
I picked the model GE079 which is a square full frame French style frame in a deep burgundy color which I think looks very sophisticated and feminine at the same time. The glasses really give some life to my face and I love the smart look they give me. The glasses are available in burgundy and black and are priced at only 59.00 dollars.
I changed the standard lenses for the Thin Polycarbonate with Anti-Reflective Coating ( a must if you work with a computer…Specially as much as I do). So ended up paying a little over 100.00 dollars and with the 50.00 gift certificate I had the total was just about 55.00. Not too shabby at all! A little over a year ago I had to pay close to 400.00 for my glasses so getting a like pair for $105 was really a great price difference.

When you buy from Just Eyewear you'll save 70%, 80%, even 90% over a brick-and-mortar store. That's an average savings of over $150 dollars per pair! They are able to do this because they don't have the overhead that brick and mortar stores do: no expensive retail store, no overpriced designer brands and no expensive equipment. Plus, not only will you save tons of money, but you'll be protected by their 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. You can return your glasses, for any reason, and get all of your money back. Simply put, they sell great glasses, have great service, back it all up with a powerful guarantee, and yet they do it all for hundreds less.

So, I have been doing some research and trying to find the best anti wrinkle cream that is available out there. I wanted to compare wrinkle creams and see the different products that I can find and while doing so I found a very interesting product line: PerriconeMD.

Holiday Gift Guide - Little in the Middle Jeans Review and Giveaway.

Closed.

Buying jeans has always been a bit of a hassle for me, especially before I got married because I was too little and living in Spain….I guess European women are usually taller than 5, 2” and over a hundred pounds, go figure! After I had the baby and gained … Well the extra pounds, I did I have a hard time to find jeans that fit me just right.
A few weeks ago I found a store called Little in the Middle and the minute I saw the kind of jeans they sell there, I knew this would be a product I would love to try. First let me tell you a little about the Little in the Middle history that I found in their website.
THE SKINNY ON LITTLE IN THE MIDDLE
Inspired by her decades of dilemma in finding the right jean to fit her curvy figure, visionary entrepreneur Lee Ann Park launched the Little in the Middle ™ website in 2002. What was her goal? It was to determine if there was a need for clothing that truly fit a woman's curves. The first production was delivered in the fall of 2005. Finally, there was a jean on the market created one size smaller in the waist than the hips, appropriately honoring the moniker, Little in the Middle ™ .
Lee Ann knew that she wasn't the only woman in the world with this problem. Just as she suspected, woman all around her began voicing the same challenges with finding the perfect fitting jeans. Her first step to launching Little in the Middle ™ was a market feasibility analysis in which she gathered data on her potential clients. With a positive response and the green light to forge ahead, Lee Ann established focus groups to discuss the need for revolutionizing women's clothing to reflect a real fit.
What makes Little in the middle different from the rest is the fact that they actually offer you a sizing survey in which you can enter all your measurements to make you a pair of “personalized” jeans that fit the way you need your jeans fit and for the first time in a long time I am very happy with the way my jeans fits.
I was sent a dark shade of blue jeans that I must say are really cute and fashionable. I was really happy with the way the jeans look and certainly very happy with the way they fit me…They are a size 2 in the waist and a size 4 in the hips….Now how neat is that?
Something else I found out, they have showrooms…..All you need to do is make an appointment to visit the Little in the Middle showroom. Where you can find great samples at awesome prices, I also found out there is one really close to where I live and even though I have not visited it yet, I heard it is extremely comfortable with large dressing rooms, and there is no pressure to purchase. You can bring your friends for a second opinion. You can even have a jean party at their place!!

Scholastic -THE HALLOWEEN STORIES COLLECTION Review and Giveaway

Closed.

One new great hit from Scholastic! You all know I a huge Scholastic fan and love whenever I have the chance to review one of their products. The Scholastic Story Book Treasures is the # 1 Award Winning Children’s DVD Series and they offer you a totally amazing collection of famous titles, which are both entertaining and educational at the same time. I am so tired of watching TV with the ladybug and getting totally annoyed on how rude some of the characters are! This is something I certainly have not experienced with the Scholastic DVD’s.
One feature I absolutely love is the fact that they have read along turned on so the kids can see the written words for everything they are saying which I think is a great way to get kids familiarized with different words and make the reading learning process easier.
This time I bring you another incredible selection from Scholastic: THE HALLOWEEN STORIES COLLECTION, a specially-priced 3 DVD set featuring 18 slightly scary stories perfect for Halloween. The collection includes:

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, A VERY BRAVE WITCH and THE TEACHER FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, we love watching the different stories and the ladybug specially likes WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. But there is a lot more in this collection:
“In the Night Kitchen”, “Alligators All Around”, “One Was Johnny”, “Chicken Soup with Rice”, “Pierre”, “By the Light of the Halloween Moon”, “A Dark, Dark, Tale”, “Georgie”, “The Witch in the Cherry Tree”, “The Three-Legged Cat”, “The Three Robbers” and “Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain”. With stories narrated by Elle Fanning, Calista Flockheart and others, more treats abound with author interviews and both the French and Spanish versions of "Where the Wild Things Are".
THE HALLOWEEN STORIES COLLECTION has quickly become a favorite in our house. We usually go to my SIL’s house for Halloween, so I am planning on bringing the DVD’s over so all the kids can enjoy them after the Trick or Treating!
DVDs FEATURED

• WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE…AND FIVE MORE STORIES BY MAURICE SENDAK
