Judy Luxury Designer Bracelet Review

I'm so excited to share with  you all  a beautiful bracelet that I was so lucky to review. This bracelet is from a website called JudyLuxury.cn .


They have some amazing, beautiful jewelry at really affordable prices. The bracelet that I got from Judy Luxury is a beautiful rose gold color. It's made of titanium, so it's strong but has a dainty look. The metal shines like a mirror. The bracelet is comprised of several small flower shaped charms, connected by chain and inlaid with what looks to be mother of pearl. The inlay  is beautiful and iridescent and has a lovely shimmer to it.

The bracelet is 7 inches in total length, but has 2 loops to make it adjustable to smaller lengths. It has a nice lobster claw clasp that gives you the security of knowing it wont fall off. It's made very well.


 This dainty bracelet really makes a statement. It looks expensive, but it's so affordable at only $9.90. You will look and feel like you're wearing a designer piece of jewelry. It would definitely be one of your core pieces as it can be worn every day or for special occasions. The website is also filled with other beautiful jewelry, handbags, wallets , belts and more.I believe they have something for everyone. This bracelet would make a lovely gift for any woman. With Valentine's Day coming up, this would make a sweet gift that won't break the bank. I encourage you to take a look around at Judyluxury.cn and if you love this beautiful bracelet and want one for a gift or for yourself, you can find it here.

Things we lost in the fire : Book review

I had the truly strange pleasure of reading Things we lost in the fire by Mariana Enriquez.
  This book was by far one of the most strange and macabre collection of stories I've ever read. The stories set in Argentina are daring and inventive, truly pushing limits.If you love horror stories, then this book is a great read. Its a mix of Gore and emotion.

 The stories are set in the harsh truths of the world. The characters are very real. The stories are gritty, emotional and terrifying, all to verifying degrees. I'm not easily disturbed, but some of the stories were truly unsettling. I enjoyed the book. It evoked emotion and a guttural reaction. They are weird and not for everyone, but horror lovers will like them. The stories cover the spectrum from gory to psychological. There's something for everyone. Be prepared to cringe. Find out more and purchase this book Here.

Girly Room Makeover

Hello beautiful readers! I love a good DIY and I love decorating. I had the opportunity to do a fun room makeover for my boyfriend's daughter. I did this a couple years ago, but in the true spirit of procrastination. I'm just letting you all in on it now. My boyfriends daughter was turning 12 and she still had the cute little baby girl room from when she was little. She needed an update fit for a preteen, so I decided to revamp her room for her birthday. I had so much fun. Let me show you how I did this fun update on a small budget doing a bunch of DIY projects. The entire start to finish project took me about a week. Sorry about my minimal before pictures, but here is a picture of what the walls looked like before the makeover.
My first step was to take down the old wall border. I bought a spray to help take it down, and scored it with a serrated knife because I was trying to save money on the scoring tool..haha. It worked ok.

The next step was to paint the walls and trim. I decided on a fun bright color scheme that she would love. I went with a bold purple on the walls, pink trim and teal accents.


I was lucky to have my mom and grandmother contribute to the room too. My mom made some fun sequined curtains and sewed some fuzzy fun pillows. My grandmother knitted a blanket for the room.There were already some cute girly curtain rods in the room, I just repainted them to go with the new color scheme.This next picture showed what they looked like before and you'l see the after in the later pictures. So the next step was to hang the fun new curtains.
Next she needed a desk, so I took to the local town wide yard sale and found a small dining table that would work perfectly for just a dollar. I took it home and spray painted it teal and black to match the accent color. 
I also did the same with her existing old dresser. I spray painted it in two colors and sprinkled it with glitter while it was still wet.I ran out of one can of spray paint as I was painting, so I just went with it and ended up with a kind of speckled graffiti look on top. I like the result.

I also revamped a couple other existing pieces in her room including a small chalkboard with hooks, and a small bookshelf.
The bookshelf was in primary colors with ABC cutouts on the sides. I painted it and covered the cutouts with home made pink animal print insets.I placed it on top of her desk for storage.
I repainted the chalkboard and personalized it with her name.
I also repurposed a small book shelf I already had, painted it pink and used it for some small items in her room.
I had a small lamp that I painted black. I covered the shade in funky duct tape, and added a pink feather edging. These were all things I had on hand.I used an existing chest against the wall as a bench seat or reading nook, and covered it with the hand made blanket from my grandmother. I added the fun pillows my mom made.
I bought 3 large foam boards at the dollar store to create some funky art for her walls. I painted 3 bright colorful designs on them. As they dried the paper separated from the foam board, but that was ok. I just tacked them to the wall. 
I added some fun accents to the walls, including these 3d butterflies that I got on clearance for $6, and some cute colorful wall stickers  from the dollar store.
I made this fun colorful little accent from a paper punch and some paint samples,some thread and a pipe cleaner.
Abover her desk I hung some of the fun crafty things we had made together, and a little magnetic white board I had.
I used most of her existing bedding. I just bought a new blanket for the bottom bunk. In a fun pattern.
I hung up a few existing things from  her old room and set up the rest of her things.
I ended up taking a patio chair and spray painting it for her desk.
 She loved it!! She was so excited!



This was such a fun project and I really had minimal costs. I used everything I could that was already there just by repurposing, and getting a little creative.
Total cost for everything I had to buy was under $100. How much she loved it was priceless. 

I hope you enjoyed this DIY makeover. I hope to share more DIY projects with you in the future.
XOXO

Litter Genie Review

I was lucky enough to try out a litter genie this past week. I've always wanted to try one. I have a multi cat household, and I've always used zip lock freezer bags to scoop and seal the used litter. The litter genie makes scooping discreet and easy.

The litter genie was very simple to assemble following the instructions provided. Once it's set up with the provided bag refill, you simply open the top scoop the clumps into it, and pull out a lever which drops the clumps into the bottom of the litter genie then closes it off sealing the order inside. It creates a nice tight seal and there are no orders.

 It also hides away the unsightly scoops of litter. The bottom holds quite a bit before you have to empty it. It's very easy to tie off the bag and start a new one. This litter genie makes my life so easy. It hides the mess and looks neat and tidy in my bathroom.

It comes with its own scoop and a scoop holder on the side. I was very impressed and am considering getting a second one because I have two litter boxes in my home. If you'd like to know more about litter genie , get one for yourself or engage with the brand, just follow the links below.

Litter Genie is available for $14.99-$16.99 at Petco, Pet Smart, Target, Walmart, Amazon.com,and  Chewy.com. The refills are priced at $5.99-$35.99.
Each refill can last up to 2 months with one cat. This is an amazing product for any cat lover that wants a clear fresh smelling home.

#100yearsofmakeupchallenge : 1940's

Hello, my beautiful readers. Today's post is a fun one. I have been really enjoying doing some makeup challenges lately on Facebook, and I get lots of questions about what products I've used, so I decided to show my readers the looks I'm creating, and give you a rundown of the products I'm using. My first post is for a look I created for the #100yearsofmakeupchallenge. This challenge, as it's name suggests spans 100 years of makeup. The challenge is to create a look from each decade from 1910's to 2000's. The look I created today was for the 1940's. I browsed tons of pictures on Google for 1940's makeup looks, and this is what I came up with.
From the pictures I found I saw a thinner arched brow, red full lips, a subtle eye, and a soft rosy cheek. I also recreated a fun 40's hairstyle I found. I love this look.Here's a list of the products I used and how I created this look.

I hope you enjoyed this 1940's look, and I hope you have fun recreating it. 
Stay tuned for my next decade look. 
Thanks for reading.

Tune In: The Beatles All These Years by Mark Lewisohn Book Review

I'm so glad to have been able to read  Tune In: The Beatles All These Years by Mark Lewisohn.Tune in is a New York Times best seller, and Mark Lewisohn is considered to be the world's leading Beatles authority. Before writing this biography Mark Lewisohn published The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, and The Complete Beatles Chronicle.He was a consultant on the Beatles Anthology and numerous other projects.  If you are a big Beatles fan, or just a music lover you'll enjoy this book. I thought it was great. Even if you think you know everything there is to know about The Beatles, you'll learn something new from this book.This book is a 3 volume trilogy that is a full accurate biography.

The book is a wonderfully written history of a great band, and a major part of rock and roll history. The book is filled with pages and pages of wonderful pictures of the Beatles when they were young and throughout their career. I really enjoyed reading about the early history of the Beatles and how they came together as a group. The book is well researched, detailed and all encompassing. The pictures and stories let's you get to know the guys a little better and see another part of their lives. This book is volume 1, and I'm really excited about reading volume 2 and learning even more about some of my favorite musicians. This is a must have for any Beatles fan.You can find out more information about the book and author Here.

Ozeri Non Stick Frying Pan Review

I'm excited to tell you about another product I was lucky enough to try from Ozeri. This is the 10" green earth non stick frying pan. This frying pan is amazing. When they say non stick, they mean it. Nothing sticks to this pan. This is a nice heavy frying pan with a great, bright green color on the outside.

The inside is made with a smooth ceramic non stick coating. The coating is scratch resistant and so simple to clean. You can seriously just rise it out or wipe it clean. It's so nice, because let's face it, clean up is usually the worst part.

The pan is safely made with no harsh chemicals. The handle is heat resistant. Everything I've cooked in this pan comes out perfectly. It heats up fast. This is my go to pan. It's a great high quality pan that I use daily. It comes with a soft protective piece to keep it from getting scratched when you store it.

Ozeri did a great job on this amazing piece of cookware.
