#EatSmart Precision Voyager Digital #Luggage #Scale -Perfect for Travels

  

I travel a lot, sometimes for business, sometimes for fun...lately though, its always moving back and forth for business. Unfortunately, I also seem to have to move a lot which means I pack everything away. So, most of the time, I am at the maximum weight alotment for my suitcases. Worst thing is, I have packed it so full now, that most of the time when I lift it, I kind of have a fairly good idea if I'm in the 50-51 range. That's when I don't have a scale. If I have a scale, I'll weigh myself first then jump on with the suitcase. Its pretty tough work.

EdenFantasys #Review (18+): #Love, #Bonds, #Ties

If you remember back in my Father's Day features, I compiled a list of great inexpensive treats for your SO in your life. At number 3 on my list from EdenFantasys was the Enchantress Playful Ties. Well then, I decided to pick up a set for myself so that I could give a proper review.

Father's Day-Novica Review and Giveaway

Novica, a bold and revolutionary way of decor that brings items from all over the world directly from the unique craftsman to you. When I first heard of Novica, I thought, "what a wonderful idea!" Novica brings to the internet various unique and handmade items, whether it be decorations, jewellery, apparel such as women's robes and sarongs, furniture, linen, masks and paintings from the Andes, Brazil, Thailand, Central America, and so many more places. Novica also serves to be the platform for which they can be fairly compensated for their work. Amazingly fair, Novica does not charge the artists a fee to place their items for sale and the artists also name their own price. If you take a read on some of the artist's biographies, it was heartwarming to know that they went from a life of mild sales and a difficult life to a more comfortable one with sustained sales through a worldwide market.

Crazy Dog T-Shirts Review and Giveaway

I love my clothes and I absolutely love it when they're hilarious, which is exactly what you'll get from Crazy Dog T-Shirts. They have such a wide selection of funny T-shirts that it makes choosing one so hard! I know, its Father's Day coming up, but c'mon, can't I have one thing for myself? (Nod your head! lol) So, I ended up choosing "Choose your weapon" under Girl's T-shirts. By the name, you're probably thinking what!? But, take a look, its hilarious! Who would think of it being a rock, paper, scissors battle? Point is, I think its cute and I love the design!

So, I was choosing a t-shirt to review from Nacho Mama Tees as a present for my SO for a Father's Day present and thinking of his love of Bacon, I found this awesome tee that's somewhat geeky, funny and adorable all mixed in one. It's the "Bacon Chemistry Shirt" found under the Best Sellers category. Barium, Cobalt and Nitrogen...or in short, BaCoN! Its a genius at work! This is sure to appeal to the inner geek.

30 Meals in One Day Review and Father's Day Giveaway

Is your father the one in the family that loves to cook but doesn't ever have enough time? I know my dad enjoys cooking much more than my mom and my family members are often really busy so we usually end up cooking a crazy storm to make enough food for a week in our household. Now that I'm kind of on my own, I've had no time to cook and it has been take out after take out after take out. I love the food but that's how I've been gaining weight and I much prefer home-cooked meals because I can watch my calories and still eat healthily. Then, I got wind of "30 Meals in One Day" by Red Timer Inc. This could be the perfect gift for dad. 

New England Coffee Co. Review

I love the delicious aroma of coffee despite being a tea lover. I still enjoy my flavored coffees though and was more than happy to review New England Coffee Co's newest line of dark roast coffees because I had the perfect person in mind to test these babies out on! The Dark Roast line of coffee is made from 100% Arabica beans which are roasted at higher temperatures for longer periods of time which results in the darker color and a full bodied, low-acidity coffee with intense flavor.

cityslips Review -Perfect for any woman...be it your mother, friends or yourself

Alright, whether it be for the clinic, hospital or going out, a girl's gotta have some gorgeous shoes. Now, I admit I can't do stilettos, I would be the first to fall flat on my face but still, I buy gorgeous shoes...some with heels and others without. However, when you try on those shoes in the store, they're always gorgeous! And hell, we even convince ourselves that they're comfortable because, why would we ever feel uncomfortable in the two minutes that we try them on and walk around in them?? Its not until the night we go out or having to walk around in them all day, that we realize...oh god, what a mistake!? For beauty and fashion, we go to extreme lengths. I love my shoes and well, I just bought myself 4 pairs yesterday! And yes, I convinced myself they would be comfortable and I really hope they will be. 

Can you imagine though, however, at the end of the day, how your feet feel?! This is where the ingenuity of two friends, Katea Shea and Susie Levitt, comes to play in the form of cityslips. Check out their idea below. Its so simple! When your feet hurt, just switch into some cityslips! They're much more comfy and more importantly, they give your feet a break without sacrificing your look! I was able to pair my black cityslips with dress clothes with no problems at all.

They're also tiny and so compact that they came in this little pouch that can even unfold to become a larger bag to store your heels. 

How easy is it to just slide the pouch in your purse and go? An added feature I love is the double soled structure for durability...I actually find that more comfortable because I have these boots that have an incredibly thin bottom and although they are one of my favorite pairs of boots...(they're sooo HOT!) I can feel every little pebble and crack in the ground underneath my feet. With cityslips, I don't feel that and its thanks to the soles.


The only problem I had with my cityslips, however, was the elastic backing on the back. The right side was perfectly comfortable and I was so happy with it. The left side, unfortunately, had a bump in the elastic backing that dug into the back of my foot making it a bit painful but maybe that's just a problem with my feet itself...


Overall though, cityslips is a wonderful idea and quite comfortable in comparison to my boots, heels, and other dress shoes. It is the solution for us girls who love our sexy shoes! Great buy at $24.95 and guess what? They would be absolutely perfect for your friends, yourself, and yes, even as Mother's Day Gifts! Who says just cuz you're a mom, you can't be in style! Mom needs comfortable, functional flats as well. They even have portable flip flops (cityflips) and AfterSoles (roll up ballet flats)!
