Everyone that knows me knows that I am impossibly addicted to monograms! This store totally feeds my addiction!











I got a SUPER ADORABLE pullover to review. This is my Go to when I want to be warm and cozy while still being cute! lol. I have washed it probably a dozen times, and dried it and it still looks perfect! The stitching is excellent. No threads have come loose and the sweatshirt is a great quality. This is going to last a LONG time! Seriously, this would make a great gift for a teenager or adult! It is timeless! In the Navy I ordered a small. I think the other colors have different size variations. Make sure you read/ or ask. The Navy was man/woman size and the small is very comfy. It's not tight at all and gives me enough space to put a long sleeve shirt underneath and it's still roomy!



You can personalize your monogrammed shirt/tshirt/pullover/etc. with a Lilly pattern! (Be still my heart!!!!)
Look at the options!

ORGANIZE-- Let's talk planners!!

PLANNERS

Let's get organized {IN STYLE}

I am a sucker for cute planners, notebooks, etc!

I have compiled a list of planners that are not only cute, but functional. 

I am lost without mine! 
 If you already have one, you know what I am talking about. If you don't,
it's time to get serious.. If you want to keep your life organized, you must have a planner!

There are TONS of planners to choose from and each one offers something different! Only you can know which one will work for you... but I have a HUGE list to get you started!

Don't forget the accessories to totally customize your planner! Tabs, clips, decorative tapes, colored pens, markers... etc! Make it fun and make it YOURS!!!

Take a look at my collection of notebook and planners from the last few years--
(sorry for the glare... I just wanted to take a quick picture for you!)


(ERIN CONDREN PLANNERS- LOVE)



HERE WE GO!
(in no particular order)


We have all heard of her, right? If you haven't... where on earth have you been!? Some consider this "The Holy Grail of Planners"

ERIN CONDREN kind of has a cult following! She has a kick butt Pinterest that shows all the uses for her many products.
CHECK OUT THE PINTEREST 
There are even YOU TUBE videos of people "unboxing and reviewing" the planners! 
Seriously, check these out -- ERIN CONDREN YOUTUBE SEARCH

Lots of ways to personalize these Planners! Erin has thought of everything! You can get pens, photo stickers (Of whatever you choose... even your family or pet!), the sky is the limit!



Very stylish!
 They even have an option to buy a Planner with a notebook. I like that idea. I use a separate notebook to keep detailed daily "to do list" and use my Planner for a general way to keep up with dates and deadlines.



You can buy these in her Etsy shop 


There's lots of into on her site, even a video showing just what this planner can do!


This one is super cute!




Lots of ways to customize! You can monogram it, put a photo on it, add to it, etc.




These are super cute and are super affordable! The website offers lots of variety and lots of info about their planners! There's a video too!

MAY DESIGNS

 Totally smitten with these designs! I love how you can totally choose the look and function of your planner! This is a great buy!




Next up... PRINTABLE PLANNERS!!!

Feed Safe Review



FEED SAFE

What in the world is Feed Safe?


The portable Feed-Safe™ feeding station, creates a safe haven for your smaller pet and its food by housing it within a fashionable dome that provides a secure, hassle-free environment.


Makes Feeding A Breeze
Convenient removable and stowable
lid allows easy access to the included
stainless steel food and water bowls

Adjustable Sliding Door
Locks into position, allowing your
smaller pet into the dome while
keeping your larger pets out.

Alternate Exit
Lifts for quick alternative egress
if entrance blocked or closed
for secure feeding.

Here's a video that shows you just how it works!

 I was excited to review the Feed Safe for Libby. Having 3 dogs in the house made it impossible to keep her water and food bowl filled. Libby is a "grazer"  so she would never sit down and eat a whole meal at a time. The dogs would swoop in and eat her food... all. day. long!

My honest Opinion-- 
I LOVE IT!

Libby started using it right away! As soon as we assembled it and put her food in, she was anxious to get in there and start munching!

Here are some pictures--

 This is what the inside looks like before you assemble it.


Here it is all assembled! The top lifts off for easy access!


This is what it looks like with the lid off. You can see that she can eat in peace.
 


The dogs want nothing to do with this crazy contraption!



As you can see... Libby loves to leave her tail hanging out as she eats! lol

I give this product TWO THUMBS UP! If you have a problem keeping your dogs out of the cat's food, this is the best thing for you! I would recommend it again and again!

BUY IT-

Here's more details about the product and what is included--

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!
