I pretty much keep it simple when it comes to jewelry, I only wear a cross necklace, 2 rings and a pair of ear rings at any given time. Oh, and my belly button ring. It isn't that I don't care for jewelry, I just don't have a whole lot to choose from, and I am not used to wearing a lot or having a lot of options, so I am o.k with that. Recently though, floating lockets with charms in them have became pretty popular, and I had been looking into getting one myself. I know I have had several charm necklaces over the years, and even junk necklaces when I was a little girl (I need to write a post on those for those some time another when I can dig mine up!) So when I got the chance to do a review for NewCharms.Com I was totally excited about it! I had been wanting one of these for several months! My back story is that I heard about them from a gal in walmart one night who was talking to the cashier about her necklace! I was completely overwhelmed at the assortment of the charms, … [Read more...]
The Pasta Shoppe Review & Giveaway
REVIEW When it comes to making food, I like things that are hearty & filling and can generally be bought for a pretty decent price! So I guess it isn't any wonder that Pasta fits that bill! I am also considered a picky eater (don't get me started, I have a ton of food allergies, foods I don't eat for religious reasons, and then things I just don't like!) I think David and I have some sort of pasta at least 3 times a week if not more! Image Via The Pasta Shoppe So when The Pasta Shoppe wanted to work on me on doing a review of their pasta, I was VERY interested! They offered to send me "a box of goodies" and they weren't lying either. When I got the package my mom was over for a visit and I had to totally ward her off because I thought she was going to hop into her car with my pasta! She gets as excited as I do about my reviews. It is really cute :) I received 9 awesome goodies which included:Cat Shaped … [Read more...]
Review: Barefoot Refresh
"The Product and Promotional Item were provided by Barefoot Wine & Bubbly for this review" We all know (hopefully) by now that I am a wine fanatic! I was especially excited to get to try a new offering of wine, by one of my favorite brands, Barefoot in exchange for a review! Barefoot has came up with a new variety of wine called Barefoot Refresh, which is more of a wine spritzer! It is light, refreshing, flavorful and lightly carbonated! There are 4 different blends of wines to choose from Crisp White- a chenin blanc and Riseling mix Sweet white: pinot grigio mixed with moscato Summer Red: Pinot' Noir Rose' blended with moscato Perfectly Pink: White Grenache with Chenin blanc and moscato The wines that I chose to review were the summer red, and well you all know my love for pink so I decided to go for the perfectly pink as my second choice! I really rarely ever drink white wine so these just seemed to be logical choices for me. Before I got the … [Read more...]
Review: Card.Com Prepaid Debit Cards
Depending on how long you have known me and/or been reading this blog, you might know of my total HATE for banks! David and I have had a bad history with banks in the past,with various things. The bank we have right now is O.K. but I still as a general rule don't have any use for a bank in my life. If it wasn't for the fact he needs an account to have his check direct deposited, and he won't change to anything else I wouldn't ever have a thing in this world to do with one! Recently Card.Com contacted me about doing a review of their prepaid visa debit cards, and I was instantly intrigued! I had never used a prepaid card personally before, even though I have always considered them to be great ideas, and especially bank alternatives for the most part! Card.Com has an amazing selection of designs that you can choose from, which I haven't really found that you have that option anywhere else! You pretty much just get a standard issue boring card. With Card.com you have over 500 options … [Read more...]

You may or may not know that I really love pictures, and picture related items! I know that I haven't done that best with taking pictures in a while, but I am trying to get better at it! I want to be able to include more here on the site and just have more in general!I am really trying to do better with taking pics too, I want to get back to taking them with my CAMERA and not my phone..but that is another story! I have several awesome items with pictures including a blanket, coasters and even a tote bag! I mostly stick to wedding pictures or pictures of Sam, but every now and then I have to mix it up and find something more recent and unique to use! Photo to Canvas This time around I got the chance to review a canvas from easy canvas prints in exchange for my honest opinion, I was pretty excited! Usually when it comes to ordering a picture item, I take forever to figure out what picture I want! This time around though I knew exactly what I wanted to use: a picture of … [Read more...]
Review: Thumbs Up Wine App
So it is NOT a secret that I am a wine lover! I mean the hard stuff is o.k. and beer is alright, but...wine that is my favorite! I am also the type of person who does like to stick to what I know, but every now and then I get a wild hair and want to be adventurous and try something different. The thing is...it is kind of hit and miss on whether or not I actually like something or not! I am sure that most people feel the same way! This is where we enter Nichole's new little best friend: A handy dandy app that I got the chance to do a review on called "Thumbs up wine app" You can get it on android, or IOS. The app is broke into three basic sections, In Store Search, Browse, and My Wine. I am going to do my best to walk you through each section and break it down and explain the functions! In Store search: You have the option to pick "why" you are drinking! You have several options to choose from Just sippin' and even gift options. After you decide this, you can tell it … [Read more...]
