A Fashion Forward & Whipped Adult Coloring Book Giveaway

A Whipped & Fashion Forward Adult Coloring Book Giveaway!

As the summer nights wind down it makes way for cooler nights, and hours of homework. What is there for the adults who are helping those kids with their homework – adult coloring!

One of my favorite things about coloring is the creativity involved and the colors. Color is one of the most important things that can be in our lives. Our love of color can be expressed in the clothing we wear and even in the shoes on our feet. There is even an expression of color in baked goods!

Since even adults need fun too, I am excited to offer a copy of Fashion Forward: A Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book by Minjee Kang and Whipped: A Delectable Adult Coloring Book by Rudy Fig.

Smith’s Rosebud Lip Balm Trio Summer 2016 Giveaway

Rosebud Perfume: Smith’s Rosebud Lip Balm Trio Giveaway – Summer 2016

As summer winds down and we see those dog days of winter ahead of us our lip care routine can change. The sun burned and sun cracked lips make way for wind cracked and blisters.

I believe that lip care is as important as hygiene and brushing ones teeth, and to do this properly it is important to have the proper tools to accomplish this.

Back in April of 2015 I had the opportunity to review Rosebud Perfumes products and I really enjoyed them and thought they would be perfect for this upcoming change of weather giveaway!

Quest Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book Review

Quest: Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book – Blue Star Master Collection Review and Giveaway

Many people do not know but when Jason was a teenager he was an avid Dungeons and Dragons player. Often times he would run his own campaigns and act as Dungeon Master.

Since we were best friends, I would go over on these nights and color while I listened to the tale that was unfolding next to me. I would imagine these worlds that Jason was describing and the colors came to life. In stark contrast I would be coloring cartoon characters and rainbows while listening to more of a medieval tale.

I would have loved to have a coloring book that reflected the story I was listening to. When I received a copy of Quest: Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book from the Blue Star Master Collection by Samantha Johnson, my first thoughts was all those nights I spent listening and this book was the imagery behind the tale.

Fulcrum Gallery – Golden Wildflowers I Review

Fulcrum Gallery – Golden Wildflowers I Review and Print Giveaway

One of the most challenging parts about having a house is deciding on the various decor in each room.

After over 4 years in our home I am finally deciding how I want to decorate each of the rooms. For my craft room I decided on bright colors that would always inspire creativity, and the art in the room is my art throughout the years. Our living room is a mix of photos and sunflowers in a neutral palette. For our bathroom I went with a coastal/under the sea theme since we live on the west coast.

For our bedroom, I am still firming up my plans, but so far it is a collection of my art creations and various prints that evoke calm and relaxation. A couple of months ago I created a button project that expresses love. Since I have wanted to find a floral print that would coordinate well with the existing photos and prints I am always on the look-out. When FulcrumGallery.com reached out for a review from their “Timeless Chic” collections I was totally willing.

Reviv3 Procare Review

Reviv3 Procare – 3 Part System Review and Giveaway

When I was a teenager I used to get perms. Alright, I am understating that fact a bit – I got them every 6 weeks. I also did not go for the typical curly perm, I went for the more complicated and more chemical filled spiral perms.

The thing is that I did not utilize the curl the perm provided, I went for the frizz that the brushed curls produced. There were to big problem’s with this – the first being that my hair looked like I stuck my finger in an electric socket, the second being this constant perming and brushing was causing me to lose my already thin hair.

Since my hair had sustained a fair amount of abuse over the years, I am on a constant search for the right products that will restore my hair to its pre-perm glory. When I received an email that the previously only salon available Reviv3 Procare was becoming widely available I knew I wanted to give it a try.

Many Cats – Two Cat Coloring Books to Win!

Cat Coloring Books: Yoga Kitties and Stress Relieving Cats Adult Coloring Book’s Giveaway

If I could I would have more than the two cats I currently have. The true reason that I do not have this hoard of cats is not because of my husband or even the current size of my home. The true reason that I do not have a hoard of cats is because I am afraid that with each additional cat the time I spend and the attention they get would begin to diminish. Jason and I have discussed a third cat, a friend for Maggee to play with but in the end, I think that despite my wish for more I must stay with the two I have.

Since I have the self imposed cat limit I must get my cat love out another way. The way I chose to do this is by collection cat themed items and coloring in cat themed cat coloring books. Since I love anything cat so I am excited to be able giveaway copies of 2 of my favorite coloring books – Yoga Kitties: A Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book and Adult Coloring Book: Stress Relieving Cats.

Cat Lady Box Monthly Subscription Review: August 2016

Cat Lady Box Monthly Subscription – “Glamour Puss” – August 2016 – Review and Giveaway

When I think of glamour, I think old Hollywood, and at times the glitz and ritz. There are times when I look at my cats I am reminded that glamour is not only external but an internal quality as well.

For a person or cat to have a glamour about them can go much further than skin (or fur) deep. Glamour is in the way a person or animal carries themselves, or how they react in an otherwise stressful moment. Glamour is a response to those we do not know, and despite understanding them, we respect them.

The definition of glamour that I live by applies to cat or humans and when I saw this months Cat Lady Box theme celebrates glamour with the wonderful theme of “Glamour Puss”. Each month is “purrfectly” curated and each month is better than the last. Click here to see previous reviews.

Woodland Christmas: A Christmas Adult Coloring Book Review

Woodland Christmas: A Christmas Adult Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

Let me start by telling you that I am not normally a gal who thinks about Christmas when the weather is peaking in the mid 90’s but I am making an exception.

When I was young I looked forward to the holidays for different reasons than today. The reasons when I was young were more materialistic than altruistic. I looked forward to unwrapping the presents and seeing if my “wish-list” was fulfilled – which most years it was and then some. The reason now are more set around memory making and making the most of the years we have with the younger generations.

As we embark on the holidays being able to take moments and remember the true reason for the season is an invaluable time. When I received a copy of Woodland Christmas: A Christmas Adult Coloring Book by Suzy Joyner I thought it was the perfect way to remember the reason for the season. Continue reading →

When I say what is the most popular snack food, what comes to mind? I know for me I began thinking items like crackers, cookies or jerky. I was surprised to learn that it was popcorn.
