The French Flea Shop Review

 

The shop specializes in rustic and distressed, chevron, and other modern pattern picture frames, great for your bridesmaids gifts, wedding décor, baby and wedding showers and more! We also carry other décor including adorable letters and initials perfect for baby gifts, banners to use at wedding receptions, baby showers, bridal showers, wedding signs and more.
 
--------------------------

I LOVE this shop! It's simply adorable! I have worked with this shop before on another review... I just can't get enough! The frames, letters, and other works of art are so lovely and well made. These are items you would find in the cute little Boutique stores, but these are HALF the price (if not more!)

The quality is what keeps me attracted to this shop!
 











 

Take a look at the frame I got to review---




Take a look at the back... You can hang it or you can use that stick attached to the back and put it into the pre drilled hole and stand it up on it's own! So very clever!!!

What are you waiting for? GO SHOP!!!



New Years Resolution...

Can you guess what mine is??? I will give you a hint.. it involves this blog and the sad, sad, neglected state it's in!

I am going to post on this blog more!!!! 

I HAVE A PLAN!!

This year I want to be a better me and I would love to document my journey on the blog.

I have been struggling with what direction to take this blog. I feel like only doing reviews and giveaways just make my blog cold, and impersonal. (Maybe that's just me!) I won't stop the reviews and giveaways (WHO DOESN'T LOVE A GIVEAWAY!??).. but I am going to try and gear it into the new direction I want my life to take.

I am hoping that by promising to post on my blog I will be held accountable for actually doing it!!! Maybe by the end of the year I can look back and see just how far I have come! *Fingers Crossed!

For years I was a "Digital Graphic Designer". That was my job. Now that I don't do that anymore... I kind of don't know what to do with myself. I have found myself struggling to find my purpose and to feel as if I am contributing to the household/family.

Here are some of the things I will be posting more about----
(I hope that maybe someone can relate)

1- My weight/ lack of energy. These two things kind of go together.
I have gained weight in the last couple of years and have just kind of been lethargic and unmotivated. I am by no means overweight. However, I am far from the weight I feel comfortable with.

So, I have ordered Plexus slim and I plan to document my journey with that.
(disclaimer- I chose Plexus slim because it is not only for weight loss, but for energy and it doesn't include the stimulants that make me feel sick or my heart race.) I will get into Plexus more in the future!

I want to start posting about some great healthy snacks, meals, etc that don't take a lot of effort. Let's face it, I am kinda lazy. (Just being real)

I want to post some quick workouts and ways to ease into a workout routine. (remember, I am lazy. If I can do it, you can do it.) I am keeping it real. You won't see any photos of me planking or running a marathon. I am lazy. I am unmotivated and I am going to try and find some exercises that will coax me into working out.

2- Makeup/ hair/ general beauty stuff. I am not that much of a girly girl. I am all about quick and easy ways to look good. I have been reading, and watching you tube videos and hope to share some of the things that I am learning!

I will include things like- 
Top knots, buns (can't get enough)
Cheap knock offs of expensive makeup (Did I mention I am cheap)
Fun makeup looks
Learning how to apply fake eyelashes (seriously, still trying that)
At home beauty remedies

3- Fashion on a budget (Cheap, cheap, cheap)

Deals and bargains
Outfit ideas

4- Organizing/ Household tips and tricks

I am hoping that I will stick to this and try and incorporate some great reviews and giveaways as I go!

This blog is going to be more geared towards my personal journey to better myself/ my life and I hope that it will help at least one person along the way. :)

This blog is about to get PERSONAL! Wish me luck!

Arla Designs Giveaway (Unpaper towels)


Creating sustainable items for everyday living.
Eco-friendly mom & baby items like Unpaper towels, wetbags, cloth wipes as well as human-like dog tuxes for weddings... 

--------------------------
 Does it bother you as much as it bothers me to use disposable paper products? I hate contributing to more waste. I have made a conscious effort to start using more "reusable" products for my everyday needs.

I was very intrigued by the idea of "Unpaper towels".
Basically, these towels replace your paper towels and even fit on most paper towel rolls. The towels snap together. When you use the towel, you just toss it into the wet bag that hangs conveniently near your Unpaper towels. Less waste! It's a terrific idea!!!

Here are my Unpaper towels on my paper towel rack.



Here's some other products that Arla Designs offer--
