So, I signed up for Social spark..

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

SocialSpark

 Has anyone heard about Social Spark?
I haven't put any ads on this blog, or expected to make any money from it, really.
However, I do like the idea behind Social Spark. I just read about it today and I am interested in trying it out. You can get paid for reviewing products. They only want your complete honest opinion. You can also opt out of any review. I like that I have the option of having a way to make a little money without overwhelming my blog with tons of ads and fake reviews. I don't like blogs like that, and I am sure you don't either. It's a sure fire way to turn me off from a blog. I don't want to be one of "those" bloggers. You know the ones....you click on their blog and an ad automatically pops up....or worse...a blog that you expect to be about crafts and there's an add for male enhancement in the sidebar. lol

Social Spark has a code of ethics. I can appreciate that. I actually like that. You can read about that here.
Code of Ethics

Here's what Social Spark has to say about it's website-

Welcome to SocialSpark, a Social Marketing Network that connects advertisers and bloggers through an online advertising marketplace. Advertisers are able to target blogs based on conversational topics and make cash sponsorship offers to the bloggers who publish them. Bloggers can make money by either placing display advertisements on their blog or by writing sponsored content. Bloggers can also earn money through Cost Per Click and Affiliate programs, placing banner ads and text links on their blog, Twitter, Facebook, or anywhere else! The sponsorships offered through the SocialSpark marketplace allow advertisers to build buzz, generate traffic and maximize social media exposure.

**CLOSED**The Posie Pocket Giveaway! 2 Winners!

Welcome to The Posie Pocket ...

The place for affordable accessories and designs. The Posie pocket has the most adorable

handmade items! Check these out--

The Posie Pocket sent the White Ruffle Shirt and the Yellow and White Duo Headband for me to review.

How lucky am I?

Here's how it came packaged! So cute!

Here's the ADORABLE shirt. I love it! This is a medium. I could have worn a small if I wanted it more "fitted". Just so you know, I have worn the shirt about 100 times (I may be exaggerating an itsy bit) and washed it 100 times and it still looks wonderful! It's quality made AND adorable. Seriously, can you ask for more?

Here's the ADORABLE Headband!!!  I went out in the shirt and headband and
I had quite a few women comment on them.
One nice lady said, "Oh, I wish I were young again...I am way to old to wear that." I grabbed my chest like Fred Sanford. I told her that you are NEVER, I repeat, NEVER too old for ruffles and flowers. I mean, what would life be without these things. I can't even think about it.

Life in colors

Bio

Hi, my name is Ilil, I live in Israel, with my hubby and our three beautiful boys.

I've been attracted to prettiness and color all my life, graduated art studies, and started working on my own, in my little home studio.

All my pieces are hand made with love and care. I hope you enjoy the selection, and don't hesitate to drop me a line! 

-------------------------------------

The name really says it all. This shop is colorful! It's like eye candy!

Ilil loves color as much as I do! You can find headbands,

necklaces, earrings, bobby pins all bursting with color in this lovely shop.

You have to see what's in store for you at Life in Colors. 

Life in colors sent me the Rainbow set of bobby pins to review.

These are as lovely in person as they are on the website.

I adore them. It's a fabulous way to dress up a messy ponytail or to keep those pesky bangs (that I am growing out) pinned back. 

Here's how they arrived. All packaged up so pretty...I couldn't wait to open the box!

Here's my attempt to get a good picture of how the bobby pin looks in my hair. ;) lol

 I swear that my hair looked super cute. You can't tell at all from the photos. lol.

I cut out every item by hand and imagination. A lot of times I dont use patterns, i just start cutting away, making it smaller and smaller as i go or more curvy or sharp. I love making cute, elegant, classy, fun, artsy, brainy, earthy, colorful pieces of art. I like things to be fun and useful, so enjoy my fun, and be fun.
I am also a proud member of the Etsy recyclers guild
